The three children Cui Zhiduan, Cui Zhiming and Ning Kang all nodded in response, and Aunt Cui was able to save face in front of the younger generation.
Because of Cui Weizhen's arrival, the morning exercise came to an end. Probably because of the exercise, Aunt Cui had a particularly good appetite today and ate one more bowl of porridge than usual. Cui Weizhen and Ye Zhenzhen saw this and were secretly happy.
So the next day, Ye Zhenzhen arrived as scheduled and continued to take Aunt Cui for morning exercises. Repeatedly, Aunt Cui became more and more calm and cheerful.
After preparing for a long time, the students of Luming Academy finally ushered in the annual exam. On the day of the annual exam, Ye Zhenzhen attended the exam as the teacher of Professor Xumi Painting - all classes in the elementary school and university needed to take exams, so the time was divided, so
She had to stay all morning.
On the day of the annual examination, the atmosphere in the academy was tense, serious, and there was a little restlessness that could not be suppressed.
After a year of hard work, the annual exam is finally here. This group of students, who are no strangers to exams, are more looking forward to the upcoming exam than nervous. Most of the people who can study in the academy are talented people. They consider themselves
If you are no worse than others, you will surely come out on top in the end.
"I've finally been looking forward to this day. After the New Year's exam, I'll start home and I can still make it in time for the Chinese New Year."
"Brother Li's family is in Linxian, so he can return home calmly. People like me, whose hometown is thousands of miles away, can only stay in the academy to celebrate the New Year."
…
The students were talking a lot, and suddenly someone said: "Have you heard, this time, those who get the top grade in the annual exam will be awarded scholarships by the government, and those who top the list will even get a painting by the prefect.
Woolen cloth."
Everyone's attention was attracted, and everyone looked at the speaker: "Is this true? How did you get the news?"
The man was not afraid of being in the spotlight, and said slowly: "I am not talented. I have an elder in my family who works in the government office. He only told me about this yesterday. I heard that the household has already prepared the silver reward."
"It's such a great thing! Mr. Cui attaches so much importance to culture and education. It's really a blessing for us."
"I think this matter has a lot to do with Madam Ning Guo. Wasn't it Madam who proposed this scholarship award? The Baishan Hall under the jurisdiction of His Highness Prince Su has always followed this policy."
"I heard that Mrs. Ning Guo proposed the annual exam to the mountain chief. Otherwise, everything was fine before, so why did the annual exam happen only after Mrs. Ning Guo came?"
"It is a blessing for us to take the imperial examination at the age of 10. Please take good care of it. Taking the imperial examination in the future will add a lot of experience."
Everyone deeply agrees.
Then they began to discuss the first-class rewards. Of course, as a literati, they were always very reserved about money and did not openly show their desire for it, so the focus was on Magistrate Cui's calligraphy and paintings.
"Master Cui has very few paintings and calligraphy circulating in the market in recent years. Nowadays, it is hard to find a painting. Last time, a wealthy businessman was even willing to buy Master Cui's paintings for one thousand taels of silver. But those paintings are treasured by nobles. Everyone
He didn't even care about the thousand taels of silver, so the man could only leave with regret."
This is really worth a thousand dollars!
The eyes of all the students showed admiration. The value of Master Cui's painting is enough to make people's hearts move, let alone the identity and status represented by this painting——
Nowadays, those who can own Mr. Cui's paintings are extraordinary. If they can collect one, their status and fame will also rise!
