"Em, I'm sorry." Matthew failed, and the moment he got back to the finish line he collapsed, kneeling on the ground, covering his face with his hands, curled up like a boiled shrimp.

He realized halfway that he might lose, but he didn't believe in evil, and wanted to work hard to the end, holding the invisible straw in his hand, and wanted to struggle again.But straw is still straw, after all, nothing can be done.

His parents surrounded him and didn't know how to comfort him. Matthew had tried his best, but he was just too nervous and didn't play well at the beginning. As a result, he was a few steps late, and his mentality was not stable after that.

"Aji." The mother tugged at her husband's sleeve, but the father, Aji, just squatted down and patted his son on the back.

"Why are you crying? Go back and sell the sheep at home. What do you want to learn?"

"Aji?" His wife was stunned, because Aji had never agreed to his son's desire to learn a craft.Aji is the main earner in the family. Aji's wife also has textiles, but not enough to sell them. The little money she saves is really not enough for her son to learn the craft.The family is too poor and has nothing, only one ewe, which can be sold as offspring and goat milk.

Aji regards the sheep as a treasure, and he has to feed the sheep first if he has no food.Matthew was so sad and even desperate because he wanted to learn a craft but couldn't say it out loud. This assessment was his biggest chance, and it might be his only chance.

Matthew looked up at his always serious father in surprise, the wrinkles on his father's face slowly unfolded: "If you want to learn, then learn."

Matthew hadn't cried just now, but when he heard this sentence, he lost control of his emotions. Even though he tried his best to control it, the tears still flowed down and mixed with the dirt on his face: "I'm sorry, Dad."

Aji sighed, and the wrinkles deepened a little.A sheep wants to change a craft, but I'm afraid it's not enough, he went to the woods to see if he could hunt anything, if he could hunt bigger animals, that would be great.

Aji thought a lot, but he didn't say anything, just patted his son's head.

Candidates are not allowed to leave after the exam, they stay where they are.Matthew also stayed where he was, staring blankly at the people coming and going. Some succeeded, some failed, some caught up after a bad start, and some sprinted desperately at the beginning and gave up halfway...Tragedies, comedies, and farces are all staged here. .

There were too many candidates. Where Matthew was standing, there were more and more people. He was squeezed around, and then he bumped into someone.The man turned his head, a pair of blue eyes smiled: "Are you okay?"

Matthew was taken aback for a moment, but the guards immediately came over to separate him.

"It's okay." Shenzi said to the guard, and then continued to pay attention to the game situation.

Eminem said that His Royal Highness Shenzi cured him of his illness a few years ago... Matthew looked at the back carefully, feeling a little depressed, he could not go to the school opened by His Highness Shenzi.

It took almost one morning, all the assessments were over, and the onlookers were still unsatisfied. They were all waiting for Yunze to announce the results.

Yunze took out a list and read the names one by one, with a block in front of each name.Because many people's names are repeated, and they all mean 'brave', 'beautiful', 'strong', 'spun', 'leopard'.

Matthew looked at the elated people who got the qualifications, and he was surrounded by indescribable sadness, as if the light and warmth had abandoned him, standing in the crowd, but cold and lonely.He wanted to appear more open-minded, and wanted to smile, but unfortunately he couldn't.

"Think about it, Matthew, you still have a chance." He comforted himself, "Look, you still have a chance to learn a craft after you go home."

On the other side, the Son of God has already completed the list of all qualified candidates, and the number of people is not too large. There are more than a hundred people, which is one-tenth of the total number.But at this time, he took out another list: "Candidates with the following registration names, you are also admitted, because of your tenacity, not giving up, not admitting defeat, and the courage to say no to fate!"

Matthew raised his head suddenly, and for some reason, there was a glimmer of hope in his heart again, very thin, but so bright, it was the light in the darkness.

"The first batch of candidates, because of their excellent performance, the first-year tuition fee was halved. And the second batch of candidates, because they did not run to the finish line within the specified time, so the first-year tuition fee is still the same. But one year of study Afterwards, there will be a year-end assessment, all students will participate, and the tuition fee will be halved for those who are outstanding. I hope everyone will continue to work hard and not slack off. Learning is like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will fall back. This sage’s good words are for you to share with you.”

After that, His Royal Highness Shenzi began to report the names of the second batch of students. Needless to say, the people who were called were overjoyed.And after experiencing such twists and turns, this opportunity has become even more precious.

Matthew clenched his hands tightly, his fingers almost scratching the palm of his hand.At this moment, his name appeared in His Highness Shenzi's mouth.

"...Reed Blocks, Matthew..."

"Is it Matthew?" Aji's wife subconsciously went to see her husband, wanting someone to confirm that what she heard was not a hallucination, but found that Aji also looked dazed and unbelievable.

"Reed Block, is there another Matthew who came to take the exam?" The neighbors who came with Aji were also whispering.

Aji's expression changed from bewildered to ecstatic to complicated and then proud, in just a few seconds.He clenched his hands into fists: "No more, there is only one Matthew who came to take the exam in Luwei District, and that is my son."

The small group here immediately became lively, and some people around him were happy for him, and some felt sour, especially those who failed and did not complete the race. The annoyance was beyond words.

But no matter what they do, the game is over, and Yunze has already reported all the names here.The number of candidates in the second batch was even smaller than the first batch, which is not surprising. After realizing that they had failed, many people simply gave up.There are many ways to give up, but the ending is the same, that is, the last hidden opportunity is missed.

Yunze said at the very beginning that if he can persevere in running the whole course, and never give up until the end, maybe fate will give him special treatment.Many people didn't understand, but they understand now, this kind of persistence and stubbornness won them a chance.

The examinee who caught the life-saving spider thread hugged his family members, and they almost cried with joy.

"Where's Your Highness?" Matthew, who wiped the black tears off his face with the back of his hand, went to Yun Ze immediately, this noble person in his life, perhaps the most precious one.

But when everyone was cheering and crying bitterly, Yunze had already left quietly. He had already said that he would not see such a scene, and tears were worthless.

"Huh? Where's Your Highness?"

Where can people find him?

There was also an elderly female officer in charge of admissions at the scene. Looking at the messy scene, she stretched out her hand and gave two high fives.For some reason, everyone was quiet.First the people around her fell silent, and then the rest of the place fell silent.

"His Royal Highness went back to sort out the students' materials and arranged suitable teachers for them. If you have any questions, please ask me after I finish speaking. Listen carefully and understand. If you didn't listen to what I said, come and ask me. I won't waste my time answering."

After she finished speaking, she looked around for a week, and then nodded with satisfaction: "I am Sinai, a royal lady. I used to teach His Highness Prince Sham, and now I am invited by His Highness Son of God to teach students the rules in the school."

She clarified her identity in a few words. The royal lady was originally in charge of Prince Sham, but now she is in charge of the students.

Everyone's eyes widened. It's hard to see such a character, but now they are responsible for teaching their children?The schools run by His Highness Shenzi actually invite such teachers?

Incredible.

I thought that what I could enjoy was already the most advanced configuration imaginable in this life, but I never expected that it could be even higher.

The scene suddenly became quieter, and everyone dared not breathe for fear of disturbing the lady officer.

Sinai saw that everyone stopped their voices and looked at this side before continuing to repeat what the Son of God had told them.

She is Prince Sham's mother, that is, a female officer similar to a nurse or housekeeper.But in this era, noble women still feed their children by themselves, so mothers are not responsible for breastfeeding. They are generally from noble families, get married and have children, come to the palace to work during the day, and return at night. They are noble women with status.

This mother is such an older female official. She has a dignified appearance, but it is said that she has a good temperament. Yunze said that he needs a dignified and moderate female official. Many court ladies recommend her.So after knowing that she was retired at home, Yunze went to her home and invited her to be the teaching director and manage the students.

Coincidentally, just as soon as this female officer came down from her post, she suddenly returned home, and she was quite impatient when faced with trivial matters from her parents, so when Yunze asked, even if the salary was not too high, she would take care of her. They were both children of civilian families, so she agreed immediately.

Yunze also used the same method to find the retired head of the bodyguard, the retired royal gardener and so on.In addition, many craftsmen under his own name were originally court craftsmen, and their craftsmanship was guaranteed.He selected those with stronger teaching ability and set up courses one by one.

This group of teachers are all over 35 years old. They have rich experience, are more patient with children, and are very cost-effective.

Sinai is now in her second career. Although she is surrounded by civilians and even some vulgar men who look similar to homeless people, she doesn't care.

"Congratulations to all the admitted children, you will become the first batch of students of 'Curry Vocational and Technical College'. Our school has opened carpenter classes, masonry classes, pottery classes, textile classes, livestock breeding classes...etc. Different types of courses. Each course is divided into three grades, and each grade has two classes. Each child can choose one course as his major, and another one as a minor of interest. In addition, each child must learn fighting skills and simple calculations."

Sinai took out a piece of paper, glanced at it, and continued: "At the end of each year, before the Harvest Festival, the school has a year-end assessment. Serious students, stay and continue studying. Non-serious students, we will let him go back.

"After the year-end assessment, the teachers of each class will make a judgment. Whoever is capable enough to participate in the work will report to His Highness, and His Highness will conduct another assessment. If the assessment is not successful, go back and continue studying. If the assessment is successful, you will Obtain a special medal with the student's name, the major the student studies, and the name of the school. It means that you are already a recognized craftsman and can work."

Having said that, she glanced at the paper again.This is all the content recorded in the previous meeting. It is more written, so it is difficult to remember.

"It's not easy to get a medal. You have to be excellent in all courses. You don't have time to rest. You have to arrive at school before the sun hits the ground. There is a morning jog in the morning. Until the bell ringer starts ringing the bell, you have to go to school." Study in your own class. This process continues until the sun is about to set, and you can go home. Every seven days, you can take one day off, and if you ask for leave at other times, you can't exceed ten days a year."

In fact, the biggest pitfall is the culture class, but Sinai doesn’t say it, and you will know if you try it yourself in the future. It is not easy for children who have no foundation to learn those simple calculations and writing well.

"In addition to studying, you must abide by the rules of the school. Fighting, verbal abuse, and bullying are absolutely not allowed. Those who break the rules and those who are lazy will be driven away. Another thing is that it is forbidden to have sex in the school. You are here Those who study are not here to find a lover. If you want to find a lover, you can drop out of school, or you are better and get a medal to graduate earlier.”

Yunze has formulated very strict school rules, and the courses are full of schedules, and the time is squeezed to the extreme.Students have no time to think about things, they have heavy homework every day.

In fact, education in this era is very loose, probably because it has not yet become a system. There is only one master leading a few disciples, and the general environment is relatively relaxed. Menis is the type who is too demanding on himself.

Sinai was also involved in the education of the young children of the royal family, but never with this level of refinement.She thought of what Yunze said during the meeting and the expression on his face at that time.

"They are different from those children of high birth. Those children are born with golden spoons in their mouths. When they grow up, they don't have to worry about food and clothing. They worry about whether to match barbecue with wine or ale every day. But for these children, if they don't work hard, what will happen in the future? Can their parents help him? Have their parents left him assets to eat and drink without working forever?

"They have no right not to work hard."

Sinai suddenly understood that this group of students was different, because they were originally at the bottom of society, and they could only work hard if they wanted to break this fixed fate.
