"Since the previous dynasty, the establishment of imperial examinations must be organized by schools. Nowadays, when you succeed to the throne and establish kindergartens, it is the beginning of your studies. It is not because your father does not want to teach you personally. Although the imperial examinations for women are not yet clear, it is the best choice for you to follow the steps. "
Mr. Sheng said it sincerely, but Sheng Yuan still argued: "Dad is lying to a child! Isn't my brother studying at Zheng's home school? My cousins in the house also study at home school."
"Daddy didn't lie to you!" Although Sheng Ran was dissatisfied that her father might choose another academy for her sister to study in, she thought she was fair and still wanted to speak for her father.
"The Zheng family school is the name of the family. In fact, the Zheng family has an academy itself. Moreover, it is not completely considered a private school. Since the previous dynasty, the qualifications and treatment of the Zheng family academy have been on par with the official schools. It is still recognized today."
"Look, my sister has said that, right?" Mr. Sheng added with a smile, "As for the girls' school in the mansion... no one in the mansion expects them to take the imperial examination route, like your mother and I, Why don't you let your sister and you go there to study? As for your cousins... we are from the Shengguo Duke's mansion."
"Since the Yan Dynasty, Duke Sheng's Mansion has been specially gifted by the emperor. The prince in the mansion has a place in the Imperial College. In other words, no matter whether the boys in the mansion are studying or not, they all have a school certificate." Sheng Ran cooperated tacitly and told her sister Stop jumping around and think about where you want to go to school!
Sheng Yuan sighed, finally being honest.
After dinner, Sheng Xiangxun and Mr. Zheng sat in front of the couch, facing the two girls on the couch, and began to analyze the several official schools they could choose from.
"Before, your father and I assessed all the official schools and picked out six suitable ones. You can help choose."
Sheng Ran took the information about the colleges and took a quick look at it. She found that Jiujiang College was on the list, and she immediately became hopeful again: "How did you choose these colleges?"
Mr. Sheng took a pen and paper and prepared to record it. After hearing this, he looked at each other and said with a smile: "Don't choose the academy that is too cramped, don't choose the academy that doesn't have enough wives, the dean who is too rigid and pedantic, the mountain chief prison, etc." I won’t choose the management school if the family values boys over girls, I won’t choose the ones who only teach literature, and I won’t choose the ones where the atmosphere in the academy is tense.”
Good guy, he even investigated the situation of his family for the sake of his little daughter going to kindergarten.
Of course, fearing that the eldest daughter would be jealous, Third Master Sheng quickly said: "It was the same when I was selecting officials for you, but a few years have passed since then, and many academies have changed teachers and principals, so I checked again. "
Sheng Ran didn't mind this, but she was worried about whether her sister could study in the same academy as her.
"Now, the options...are Jiujiang Academy, Yunqi Academy, Baizhou Academy, Luyuan Academy, Tingfeng Academy and Luo'an Academy."
Sheng Yuan leaned on her sister's shoulder and looked at the pile of information filled with words, and couldn't help but yawn.
"Each of these academies seems to have its own characteristics. It's really hard to choose." Sheng An, who wanted her sister to attend Jiujiang Academy with her, couldn't help but be tempted by other academies.
"Little guy, don't sleep! Take a look quickly, which one do you want to have sex with?" Sheng An didn't know how to choose, so she poked her sister's cheek with her finger and let her make up her own mind.
Sheng Yuan thought lazily and then threw the question back: "How about...send someone to ask them to see what the academy's education plans are for girls?"
Although Sheng Xiangxun and Zheng knew that it was a lazy choice for the little guy to say this, they could not but say that it was a good idea.
As soon as Sheng Ran finished school the next day, she ran to the outer room of the main courtyard to ask about the investigation status of the academy.
Mr. Sheng returned home early. When his eldest daughter asked, he said, "Except for the three academies of Jiujiang, Yunqi, and Baizhou, which said they would teach girls how they used to teach boys, without any modification plans, the other three academies have their own arrangements. .
Some say that they will pay special attention to the cultivation of girls in music, chess, calligraphy and painting; some say that they will specially increase the education of girls in female housekeepers; others say that they will pay attention to strengthening the cultivation of girls in etiquette and organizational skills. "
"Isn't this good?" Sheng Ran didn't expect that there were so many ideas about academies now. She thought to herself that my sister would probably choose among those academies. She sighed in her heart that she couldn't study in the same academy as her sister, but also felt sorry for her. I feel happy, after all, I can learn a lot more.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Sheng Yuan said simply: "Then choose between Jiujiang, Yunqi and Baizhou!"
"Why?!" Not to mention Sheng An was puzzled after hearing this, even Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Zheng were also curious.
"A smart baby like me is no worse than anyone else! So I don't ask for much, as long as the academy treats boys and girls the same!"
Sheng Yuan felt that she did not need special care: "Moreover, focusing on the key points sounds good, but I am afraid that focusing on the key points will become the key points, and the knowledge used in the scientific examination will become incidental."
Besides, why is it so difficult to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? As long as there are formal official schools, there are professors of the Six Arts.
If you want to be like a female celebrity housekeeper, do you need to study outside? Her mother was a good housekeeper, and everything in the family's shop and farm was well arranged.
If she wanted to learn etiquette and organizational skills, the queen's aunt would ask her to play in the palace every ten days, and Aunt Qi could teach her.
Of course, this is because she has the conditions to be picky, but even if there are no such convenient conditions, she will still choose this way!
Although she is only three years old, she has a clear mind!
As long as you can pass the imperial examination, you will surely embark on an official career! There are not many men in the examination room who are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and female housekeepers, but it does not affect their ability to become officials and hold power! In this era, only when you become an official can you have a smooth path. Will you still worry about these things then? Do not be silly.
The little guy was talking eloquently, and Sheng Ran was dumbfounded for a while. Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Zheng both exclaimed that this child is transparent!
It really is! From this point of view, academies that focus on additional training may not be a good thing for girls. Instead, it is easy to pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.
"She is indeed my sister! So smart!"
Sheng Ran was so excited by what her sister said that she hugged her sister and kissed her hard several times.
While Mr. Sheng and Ms. Zheng were happy, they were also relieved that the little guy was going to kindergarten in compliance with the minimum age requirement.
"Okay, looking at it this way, it seems that our choices can be reduced by half again. Choose one of the three, let's see how to choose!" Sheng Xiangxun looked at the three academies, and he was actually somewhat partial to Jiujiang Academy.
But since we have already said that we will discuss it, it is not easy to decide directly now.
Sheng Yuan had no other solution for this: "How about... when my sister is on vacation, we can go to Yunqi and Baizhou Academy to have a look?"
When she said this, Sheng Ran was immediately dissatisfied: "Bad sister, why don't you go to Jiujiang Academy?"
Does this exclude Jiujiang?
Sheng Yuan saw her sister getting upset and wondered: "You know Jiujiang Academy well! And there will be a competition in a few days, so of course I will go, why bother making a special trip!"
Sheng An: "..."
My sister is really smart!
