Sheng Xiangxun was thinking about his little daughter's exam, thinking that after the exam was over, she would go to her superior to ask for leave.
His Shangguan had served in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years and knew his life background very well, and he was even more aware of his idle style. Therefore, he could guess his thoughts as soon as he showed up.
Without waiting for him to say more, he signed the note directly and let him go.
On the way to pick up his youngest daughter, Sheng Xiangxun also bought a lot of snacks that his wife and children liked.
Just waiting to take my daughter home to celebrate.
However, when he arrived in front of Jiujiang Academy, the primary school children had not yet come out.
The Kyoto Elementary School Entrance Examination is like this. After the exam, the candidates wait where they are, and the test papers are handed over to the gentlemen of the academy for correction on the spot, and then they are ranked according to their performance levels.
In other words, candidates can know whether the college will admit them on the same day.
Sheng Xiangxun opened his pocket watch and looked at the time. He calculated that it would be more than half an hour before the academy would open, so he planned to stroll down the street again.
"Brother Sheng, please stay!"
Hearing someone calling him, Sheng Xiangxun turned his head and looked over.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be the same year as him.
This man's surname is Liao, who is younger than him.
It is said that this person was more indifferent to fame and fortune than he was. After the Hanlin Academy was disbanded, he worked among the six ministries and then stayed in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a while. It was at that time that he submitted his resignation.
After that, this person came to Jiujiang Academy to give lectures, and now he seems to be in charge of teaching Class B.
Sheng Xiangxun was very happy to meet an old acquaintance. His two daughters were studying here. There were many layers of relationships and many paths, which was also good for the children.
"Brother Liao, long time no see!" He laughed heartily and walked over.
They saluted and said hello to each other, and then there was a warm exchange of pleasantries.
But as he spoke, Sheng Xiangxun's smile gradually became a little weird.
He really didn't expect that the other person stopped him because of his sister Jiayuan.
Immediately, the alarm bells in his heart soared to the highest level.
Could it be that...this little guy did something good again?
"Brother Sheng, please forgive me for talking too much. Your daughter is talented, smart, lively and cute, and she is a young scholar. However, Brother Sheng, no matter how much you hope that your son will become a dragon or your daughter will become a phoenix, you cannot encourage her to grow up.
Little Miss Sheng is not as good as Qi Gong, she is still an immature child, so she deserves a lot of rest, how can she study hard into the cold night! "
"???"
Sheng Xiangxun was confused as he listened to the other party's earnest advice.
At this moment, rows of question marks were flowing slowly in his mind!
Who is Brother Liao talking about?
Is it his little daughter Sheng Yuan?
His little girl studied hard into the night?
how can that be possible!
Before the first day of the day, this little girl would not read or practice calligraphy. Before the first watch, she would fall asleep so darkly that she forgot who she was!
Even when her eldest brother suggested that she should go to bed a little later, she would scream and scream to everyone in the house, yelling that her brother was abusing children, and also said that protecting her eyes starts with her!
Listen! Listen! There are so many little words here and there that no one can do anything with her.
But the old man in the mansion indulged her, and after hearing the reason, he even invited the imperial doctor to inquire. After learning that what the little girl said was reasonable, he even issued an order to him, asking him not to restrain the little girl from reading and writing after Youshi. Son!
This order is still very popular!
So, where does Brother Liao start from? !
I don't know if the confusion on Sheng Xiangxun's face was too obvious. When Mr. Liao saw that he looked a little innocent, his unfinished words suddenly started to swirl in his heart.
After a brief pause, he recited the poem on Sheng Yuan's answer sheet to Sheng Xiangxun.
Sheng Xiangxun: "..."
Haha, what a good one [Everyone knows that the north wind will blow in the Ming Dynasty, but no one knows that it will be cold from the fifth watch]!
If you don't let this little guy study hard, you'll be sorry for her bragging!
So when Shengyuan came out with the admission letter, she got an old father who was about to turn black.
"Daddy! Daddy! Look! I'm number one!"
When Sheng Yuan saw that the person who came to pick her up was her father, not her brother, she immediately became excited. She said hello to Anyu and Lu Sheng, and happily rushed towards her father.
"First?!"
When Sheng Xiangxun heard this, his first reaction was surprise, what's going on? Now you can even get first place for your bragging poems?
"Look! My admission letter is different from theirs!" Sheng Yuan shook the gold-rimmed admission letter towards him.
Sheng Xiangxun felt the envious looks from the surrounding parents and school children, and couldn't help but puff out his chest and raise his head higher than usual.
Mr. Sheng, who temporarily forgot about raising an army to investigate, picked up the little girl and climbed firmly into the carriage.
In the car, Sheng Xiangxun took the admission letter and studied it over and over, and asked: "A special admission letter for the first place? Nothing else?"
If so, that would be extremely stingy.
Hearing this, Sheng Yuan took out the small purse at her waist with joy on her face and took out an ingot of silver, which weighed about two taels: "Dad, look! I will also be eating the royal food from now on!"
She happily weighed the money and said happily: "The teacher said that in any official school, the top ten students in the quarterly examinations of classes A, B, C, and D will be given monthly allowances... Well, but only the first place gets two taels of silver, and the rest are one two!"
"Oh?! There's such a good thing!" Sheng Xiangxun blinked in surprise, took the money from the little girl's hand, and naturally stuffed it into his own pocket as a gift.
"???" Sheng Yuan was confused.
She blinked, looked at the little hand holding the silver, and then looked at her father's pocket, but she didn't react.
No... Dad is in his prime, and he already needs his little daughter who is less than seven years old to take care of him?
"Ahem!"
Sheng Xiangxun, who was a little uncomfortable with the reproachful look from his little girl, put his fist against his mouth and coughed several times before saying, "Daddy is afraid that you won't be able to hold it, so I will give it to you later."
"When I was in kindergarten, I heard some classmates say that their parents also said the same thing when collecting their New Year's money!"
Sheng Yuan folded her little arms and gave her father a look that said, "Don't be fooled." She hummed and said, "But I'm not afraid. If dad doesn't give it to me, then I'll find my mother, grandfather, and aunt." Come and talk to you.”
"Forget it, I'll give it to you!" Sheng Xiangxun immediately gave Sheng Yuan the ingot of silver that was still warm.
Good guy, it’s not worth it to attract these people for these two taels of silver!
Seeing her father return the money, Sheng Yuan pursed her lips and comforted her father: "When I collect enough money, I will give it to you and my mother, brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, grandfather, and the prince's cousin. There are also Brother Yu and Brother Sheng to buy gifts."
Sheng Xiangxun wanted to laugh when he heard this: "You care about so many people, how long will it take you to save up? Can you deliver the gifts?"
Seeing that she was being looked down upon, Sheng Yuan was unhappy. She frowned and reasoned: "Two taels of silver doesn't sound like much, but I can accumulate a little and make a lot of money! As long as I get the top ten in every quarterly exam, After this school year, I will be able to save more than a dozen taels of silver, which is enough to buy a thoughtful gift!"
"A gift of more than a dozen taels of silver to so many people, but only a little more than a tael of silver per person?"
