On a whim, Xue Pan also lay down next to Baochai and looked down.

Seeing Baochai looking down with great interest, Xue Pan couldn't help asking, "Hong'er, you're so interested, why don't we catch one for you when the gold list comes out?"

Baochai turned her head and looked at Xue Pan in horror: "Brother, don't do it! Now it's me watching other people's excitement, and then they will be watching my excitement. Moreover, I don't want to get married now!"

Seeing Xue Pan looking at him with disapproval on his face, Baochai hurriedly said: "Brother, your marriage has not yet been settled, how can I, as a younger brother, pass you by!" He grabbed Xue Pan's sleeve and shook it. He shook his head: "Brother, I want to play for another two years. Does it mean that my brother despises me?"

Where does Xue Pan not want to get married?If Miss Lin agrees, he can't wait to get married right away!

Xue Pan didn't know what to say.

Can it be said that his education of Baochai was too successful?I just want her not to be too virtuous, not to be bound by the three obediences and four virtues and the female ring, but I didn't expect her to be afraid of marriage?Also "brother"?Do you really think of yourself as a man?

What else can Xue Pan do?The younger sister who I spoiled by myself can only continue to spoil her!Anyway, Baochai is only 15 years old, so it doesn't hurt to wait another two years.

When the apricot list came out, since Xue Pan was not on the list, he went back to Xue's house together.

Xue Pan wanted to continue studying with Mr. Shen, but Mr. Shen refused.

Mr. Shen said: "I will leave everything that should be taught to you. What you are lacking now is that you don't understand well in some places, and you are not familiar with some knowledge. Although Lin Liehou said that my talents can be admitted to Jinshi, But I didn't pass the exam after all, so I won't delay you."

Hearing what Mr. Shen said, Xue Pan hurriedly said, "Sir, don't underestimate yourself."

Mr. Shen smiled and said: "It's not self-deprecating, this is a matter. And for so many years, you have been studying with Mr. Lu and me before, and your classmates are only Lu An and Xue Hong. Your vision and communication are too narrow. My The suggestion is that you’d better go to an academy to study. There are several good academies in Kyoto, and the government school also has the Imperial College. Now you go to an academy to study, not only can you learn from each other, discuss and communicate with your classmates. More importantly, these people will become your future Contacts in the officialdom. Even people who don’t know each other, as long as they come from the same academy, they are natural allies. Although civil servants do not form cliques on the surface, but the same year, the township party, and the same academy are natural parties!”

Hearing what Mr. Shen said, Xue Pan got up and left the table. After paying a big gift to Mr. Shen, he stood up and said, "Thank you Mr. Shen for your guidance. Listening to what you say is better than studying for ten years!"

Mr. Shen stretched out his hand and stroked his beard and smiled, "Since you call me sir, I will naturally consider everything for you. From now on, I will teach Xue Hong in Xue's family. You can come to me if you have any questions after you go to the academy to rest and come back. "

Seeing that Mr. Shen had no intention of leaving the library, Xue Pan felt a little relieved.If Mr. Shen resigned from the library, he would really be reluctant to part with it.Good teachers are rare.Moreover, Mr. Shen was not only his good teacher in the imperial examination, but also gave him a lot of inspiration in some official matters.

Xue Pan accepted Mr. Shen's suggestion, and set off to inspect the academy the next day.

In the end, Xue Pan fell in love with Yuntai Academy.

Although Xue Pan's choice to study in the academy has certain skills, he still chose Yuntai Academy, which has a strong academic style, broad-mindedness, and tolerance of everything, instead of Guozijian, which has many princes, nobles, and officials' children.

After studying hard for several years, he really changed a lot and became a person who likes to read.

Yuntai Academy has a strong style of study and a strong inclusiveness. He likes it very much and it fits his habits.Yuntai Academy has an entrance examination, as long as the students pass the examination, they can enroll.The academy is divided into upper, middle and lower courtyards.The upper court is for students who have achieved fame, the middle court is for students who have achieved fame, and the lower court is for students without fame.

Although there are upper and lower academies, there is no class distinction, only the content of the teaching is different.There are also many students from the Upper School going to the Middle School or the Lower School to teach and impart experience.

Xue Pan visited Yuntai Academy and liked it very much.

Xue Pan went to take the entrance examination, and finally succeeded in entering the upper house.

Yuntai Academy rests once every ten days and can rest for one day.You can rest for two days at the end of the month.

Xue Pan went to the academy for a ten-day class, and when he returned to Xue's house, he talked about all kinds of things about the academy with everyone in Xue's family.

Seeing Baochai like this, Xue Pan had no choice.

The academy does not recruit women.

Baochai can enter the academy disguised as a man, so Baochai can definitely pass the exam.But although Baochai was well educated, he had no fame and could only enter the lower court.But let Baochai go to the lower court alone, Xue Pan disagreed.

Yuntai Academy is a place to study, and there are some rules.Ordinary students are not allowed to bring book boys.Four people in the lower court share a room, two people in the middle court share a room, and one person in the upper court shares a room.

Asking Baochai to go to the Lower Court and share a room with four other men, Xue Panguang felt suffocated just thinking about it.

But if Baochai really wanted to go to the academy, there was another way.

In order to motivate the students, the academy stipulates that the students who get the top three in the college's semi-annual exam will live in a much more spacious place in the second half of the year.Living alone in a house, the house is divided into an inner room and an outer room, and you can bring a book boy to serve you in your daily life.

As long as Xue Pan gets the top three in the big exam, Xue Pan will be able to bring Baochai into the academy as his school boy.At that time, let Baochai live in the inner room and live in the outer room by himself.Although book boys cannot enter the school, they can participate in some literary clubs and other activities.

There are a lot of talents in the academy, Xue Pan has to work harder if he wants to get into the top three in the exam.

But although Baochai couldn't enter the academy, some people could still enter.

Xue Pan recalled his previous thoughts, and wanted to take a chance on Jia Huan, and cheat Mrs. Wang and Baoyu by the way.Of course, if Baoyu has grown up in the past few years, he is actually not cheating Baoyu, but giving Baoyu a chance, it depends on how the Jia family and Baoyu choose.

After Xue Pan talked with Xue's family, he took Baochai to visit Jia's family.

Xue Pan went to find his uncle Jia Zheng, asked Baochai to visit Mrs. Wang, and told Mrs. Wang about his going to the academy. Don't exaggerate, tell the truth about the advantages and disadvantages, and let Aunt Zhao hear.

After Mrs. Wang was released from the plum garden, she became more and more displeased with Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan.During the day, he kept Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan in his own room, asked Aunt Zhao to open the curtain to serve tea and water, set rules for Aunt Zhao, treated Aunt Zhao as a maid, and asked Jia Huan to copy Buddhist scriptures all day long.

When Baochai arrived at Mrs. Wang's courtyard, Mrs. Wang was reciting Buddha's name, and Aunt Zhao was standing at the door.Seeing Baochai coming, he quickly lifted the curtain for Baochai.

When Baochai saw that it was Aunt Zhao who was pulling the curtain, she bowed to Aunt Zhao before going into the house.

Baochai met Mrs. Wang, chatted a few words, and then told about Xue Pan's admission to the academy. Then, as an anecdote, he talked about the rules and regulations of the academy and the daily life and study one by one.

Mrs. Wang praised Xue Pan for a few words, and said nothing else.On the contrary, Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan, listening to Baochai's words, looked thoughtful.

The last time Xue Pan came to Jia's house, he didn't say that he had been admitted to Juren, and the Jia family didn't know that Xue Pan had already achieved the honor of Juren.

Xue Pan found Jia Zheng and said, "Uncle, I am studying in Yuntai Academy. The atmosphere in this academy is good, so I came here to tell Uncle. Our family's Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan are all old, and they only study in ethnology. They don’t have any good teachers to study in middle school, so it’s better to let them go to the academy to study to waste time.”

Jia Zheng was a little moved, and praised Xue Pan: "Pan'er has grown up, and knows that he has made progress in his studies. Not bad! I still think of Baoyu and the others. I am very pleased that you have a good relationship."

Seeing that Jia Zheng didn't know that he already had fame, Xue Pan didn't mention it. He just smiled and said, "I can't believe that my uncle praised me like this. We are all a family. I don't want to think about my cousins ​​and nephews, but can I think about outsiders?"

Seeing Jia Zheng, Xue Pan nodded in agreement, and then said: "Yuntai Academy has a very upright atmosphere. Entrance exams are required, and you can only enter if you pass the exam. After entering the academy, you can take one day off every ten days, and you can take an extra day off at the end of each month. No more at the academy. Taking care of school children requires self-reliance for all basic necessities of life. Students without fame must go to the lower court. The students in the lower court all share a room with four people. Although the conditions are a bit difficult, it is worthwhile to study and make progress. Moreover, I am also in the academy, so I can take care of each other with them!"

Jia Zheng couldn't help frowning when he heard what Xue Pan said.

Baoyu was weak, and in the old lady's room, she had to sleep with her maid at night, so she was afraid of startling him.When going out, there must be a servant and a nanny to follow, and no one has ever gone out.How can he let him go to the academy alone?And still live in a room with four people?

Baoyu went to study and only came back for one day in ten days. Even if he agreed, the old lady would not agree!

But the Jia family studies, and Jia Zheng also knows that Jia Dairu is just an old boy, and Baoyu doesn't study hard in it, and he will play around every day.

Jia Zheng hesitated.

Jia Zheng returned to Mrs. Wang's courtyard at night, and raised a word with Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang immediately rejected it in her heart.Mrs. Wang was imprisoned for three years and finally released. She wished she could keep Baoyu by her side every day, so she naturally didn't want Baoyu to go to some academy.

Yuan Chun is now a concubine, and the master is now a fifth-rank official, and later, the master's official position will be promoted again, and he will be a fourth-rank official. Enyin can go to the Imperial College to study with his son.It will not be much better to let Baoyu go to Guozijian than to go to that academy.

But Mrs. Wang didn't say it directly, but said: "I will listen to what the master thinks."

Anyway, even if I agree, the old lady will not agree, so why should I stand out.

Jia Zheng went to Jiamu again and told him about sending Baoyu to the academy.

When Jia Mu heard Jia Zheng finished talking about the rules of Yuntai Academy, she was immediately angry and said, "You want to send Baoyu to the Academy? You want the lives of our grandchildren! If you don't like our grandchildren, then I'll take him back to Nanjing, so I won't get in your way here."

Jia Zheng quickly knelt down and said, "Mother, Baoyu is getting older, and he should study hard. Nowadays, some people in ethnology are not motivated. Why don't you ask Baoyu what he means and see what he says?"

Jia Mu said, "So what if you ask him? I won't allow it!"

Jia Zheng persuaded: "This academy is not limited to the Yuntai family. There must be other rules that are more lenient. Why don't you ask Baoyu what he means? If he wants to go, I will ask someone to find a good academy."

When Jia Mu heard what Jia Zheng said, she didn't want to sweep Jia Zheng's face, so she said to Yuanyang, "Go and find Baoyu, and say that my father is looking for him." Then she told Jia Zheng, "Ask him carefully." , don't scare him!"

Jia Zheng hurriedly replied, "Yes, listen to mother."

Mother Jia looked at Jia Zheng with disgust, and said, "Okay, get up!"

Jia Zheng hurriedly stood up from the ground.

After a while Baoyu came, Jia Zheng straightened his face and asked, "Baoyu, let me ask you, I want to send you to study in an academy outside, would you like to go?"

When Baoyu saw Jia Zheng, he was trembling and stood with his hands down. Now when he heard Jia Zheng's question, he didn't know where it came from, and he couldn't answer for a while.

Looking at Baoyu like this, Jia Zheng became more and more angry, and shouted: "You slave who is dying, I just asked you something, you can't understand it?"

Seeing Jia Zheng like this, Jia's mother hurriedly pulled Baoyu to sit beside her, and said to Jia Zheng, "Ask him carefully why you are so fierce to him, and be careful that he will be bluffed by you again."

After Jia's mother finished speaking, she ignored Jia Zheng, and only asked Baoyu in a gentle voice: "Baoyu, I will find you an academy to study, would you like to go?"

When Baoyu saw Jia Mu protecting him, he became more courageous, and returned: "Old ancestor, Baoyu wants to accompany the old ancestor, and does not want to go to the academy."

When Jia's mother heard Baoyu's words, she turned her head and shouted at Jia Zheng, "It's fine if Baoyu doesn't want to go, but I'm afraid that my good Baoyu will be ruined in Laoshizi Academy. Just let Baoyu study at home!" If you think that ethnology is not good, you can ask Baoyu to have a husband at home!"

Seeing what Jia Mu said, Jia Zheng had no choice but to give up.
