Chapter 617 Does he want us to have a good year!
Everything is so natural, as if it is a matter of course, and it seems that the stones come out of the rain.
It's just that there are always people with broken hearts and tears at the place where they wake up from the dream.
When Yang Qian woke up the next day and found that the person next to her pillow was gone, she panicked.
She had given herself completely to this man who was twenty years older than herself, so she would not be cruelly abandoned by him, right?
Yang Qian put on her clothes and returned to the workshop as if nothing had happened, and heard a bad news that made her almost faint.
"Brother Zhu resigned?"
It was the fat aunt who shouted these words, but these words were like a hammer on Yang Qian's heart, shaking her whole delicate body.
Tears flowed uncontrollably, expressing my helplessness and sadness.
why!
This is the voice in her heart questioning herself over and over again!
But no one could tell her that she could only dry her tears and continue to work, pasting cardboard boxes day after day.
Fortunately, she has long been used to living a hard life, and now she not only has a foothold in the city, but also rented a small courtyard for her son to facilitate his daily schooling and study.
It's just a pity that she didn't have that blessing, and couldn't keep a good person like Brother Zhu.
In the days that followed, Mrs. Yang worked harder, saved every penny on food and expenses, and bought books and tutoring books for her son.
As long as the son can be admitted to Ocean University, the mother and son will make it through.
As for the Royal University that the people in the capital talked about, she didn't even dare to think about it. At most, she gritted her teeth and asked her son to try it to see the difficulty of the Royal University exam.
In fact, this is also the choice of many children in the capital, because the imperial university admissions examination is the same as the imperial imperial examination in terms of the questions and the examination process.
First of all, the six ministers set the questions, and then His Majesty the Emperor selected the questions from them, and then sent them to the Royal University for on-site printing of the test papers. The papers were sent directly to the examinees as soon as they came out of the printing workshop, and there was no problem of leaking the questions at all.
Therefore, there is a formula among the candidates in the capital. If you can get into the top ten in the imperial university admissions exam, you can basically get into any university. Even if you go to the imperial examination, you can come back as a scholar.
The imperial university exams are very fair, not only are there no leaked questions, but even the judging papers use the anonymous system.
Therefore, candidates have a big list and are ranked according to their scores.
There is only a partial bonus when recruiting students.
For example, the royal family adds [-] points, the clan adds [-] points, and the honorary family adds [-] points.
It can be said that even if the royal family gave birth to pigs, they could be included with the addition of [-] points!
Wang He also signed up for the Royal University's admissions exam. Like everyone else, he just used the Royal University's exam as a sharpening stone to check his true level.
As for passing the exam, he never thought about it.
If he, a person who has been enlightened for three years, can pass the exam, then his ancestral grave is not smoking, it must be on fire, and it must be the kind of fire!
After finishing her day's work, Mrs. Yang bought food from the cafeteria and brought it back to her son. Seeing her son sitting in the study and beginning to endorse, she was both relieved and distressed.
"He'er, hurry up and eat while it's hot."
"If we can't do it this year, we can do it next year, and if we can't do it next year, we can do it the next year!"
"Mother can afford you!"
"mother!"
Wang He looked at his mother gratefully.
"Mother, my son knows he can't do it, he just wants to try."
Yang said with a smile upon hearing this.
"Try it, anyway, the Royal University exam does not charge registration fees, so we can take two meals and drinks at most, what are you afraid of!"
This is also the reason why many students like to use the Royal University exam as a sharpening stone, that is, the Royal University exam does not charge any registration fee, as long as you are registered in Yingtianfu, you can register at will.
Even candidates from other places can register for free as long as they find a local guarantor.
And people don't worry about the lack of test venues. After all, the Royal University directly borrows the exam from the Gongyuan Academy. Let alone 800 people, even thousands or tens of thousands of people can sit there.
"Uh-huh!"
"Mother, there is knowledge about Gewu in the Royal University exam, which accounts for [-]% of the total score. This son has little contact with him, and the progress of the school's teaching is too slow. My son wants to buy this book to make up for this shortcoming." go up!"
"Gewuquanquan?"
"Is this book expensive?"
Wang He lowered his head in embarrassment.
"It's a bit expensive. Even the roughest imitation edition costs a hundred bucks. If you buy the genuine book from Sanwei Bookstore, I'm afraid it will cost seven hundred cash..."
"Seven hundred words..."
Ren Shi Yang unconditionally supported his son's study, and was really shocked when he heard this number.
The small courtyard she rented was only a thousand dollars a month. How can books be so expensive?
Although Yang didn't understand it, she had her own simple understanding and felt that reading is such a sacred thing, buying imitation books is a blasphemy to the saint.
Once the saint is unhappy, his son will definitely fail the exam.
"Row!"
"I'll give you this money!"
"We don't read imitation books like others, we only read genuine books!"
Yang immediately took out a silver dollar from his sleeve and put it on the table.
"You keep the rest of the money to spend, buy what you need, don't wrong yourself!"
"Thank you mom!"
Sanwei Bookstore.
Since Xie Kui became the editor-in-chief of Sanwei Bookstore, he has been working on Zhu Yunxi's series of ideas such as constructing scripts, adapting dramas, and guiding public opinion in newspapers.
At present, the adaptation of the spoken version has achieved extraordinary results. Mr. Luo's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has basically been successfully adapted, supporting the troupe and theaters in the entire capital.
It's just that the progress of the newspaper has been very slow, and it is only an expansion of the imperial court newspaper, plus an extension of the novel.
Because the people of the Ming Dynasty did not have the habit of discussing government affairs, the government also disliked the people's discussion.
Therefore, under the joint efforts of both parties, government newspapers have been struggling.
If it weren't for the strong blood enrichment of Sanwei Bookstore, government newspapers might have closed down long ago.
However, this is still a small matter for Xie Kui at present. His biggest task right now is to promote the book "Gewu Daquan" as much as possible.
This book was hand-picked by His Majesty the Emperor and personally presided over the compilation. He issued an edict that it must be vigorously promoted in the Ming Dynasty to make it a household name like Shuowen Jiezi and rhyme books.
And this book is really good, it is full of refreshing little stories.
For example, why do we see lightning first and then hear thunder?
Why does it thunder when it rains?
Why do you see the sails first, then the hull and so on.
It’s just that the cost of this book is too high, especially the many overprinted illustrations in it, accounting for 90.00% of the cost of the entire book.
"Editor-in-Chief, the price of this book can't be lowered any further, and we won't even have money to buy ink!"
Xie Kui looked at the book whose illustration quality had declined a bit, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this book really can't reduce the cost any more.
"Then let's do it first, the price is [-] Wen!"
"Editor-in-Chief, we have agreed that we can't drop any more!"
"If it drops again, no one will dare to take our jobs. Even now, we rely on the large volume of scripts, so they try not to make money to print them for us."
"Ugh!"
"How can we not know these things, but who asked His Majesty the Emperor to promote this book, making this book affordable for every child..."
Just as Xie Kuixu was chattering with his subordinates, a weak voice sounded outside the door.
"Is there anyone in the store?"
Xie Kui immediately glared at Ding Hao when he heard this.
"Hurry up and greet the guests!"
"This store is the main store of our Sanwei Bookstore, we must not neglect the customers and smash our signboard!"
"Yes!"
Ding Hao hurried to the front to greet customers.
"Guest officer, would you like to buy some... pens, inks, papers and inkstones?"
"No, I want to buy Gewuquanshu!"
"Oh?"
Xie Kui immediately became interested when he heard "Gewu Quanshu". He walked from the back hall to the front hall and stood behind the bookshelf to observe.
Hearing this, Ding Hao quickly picked up a Gewuquanshu from the counter and handed it over.
"Guest officer, you have picked it up. Today, the price of Gewu Quanshu has been greatly reduced, from [-] Wen to [-] Wen a book!"
"what?"
Wang He never expected that he could find such a great deal!
"It's so much cheaper?"
"Is there something wrong with this book?"
"No, no, this book is genuinely printed, both the illustrations and the text are quite exquisite!"
"is it?"
Wang He dubiously opened it, and looked at it, it was really very exquisite, more than ten times better than the imitation books he saw on the street stalls.
"Then give me a copy, and the rest of the money will bring me some vertical-grained straw... Ink ingots, too. I want... Xiang Mo!"
Wang He gritted his teeth hard, and finally bought a piece of incense ink that he had always wanted to buy but was not willing to buy.
As soon as Ding Hao heard what Wang He bought, he knew what Wang He wanted to do.
"Is this little friend planning to enter the Royal University?"
"Yes……"
"It's no wonder. It is said that the examiners of the Royal University are all servants of the Six Departments. They are born with rich eyes. If you don't use Xiangmo, no matter how good your writing is, they won't take a second look."
"Little friend's decision is right. Let's spend a few hundred more on the ink to make a good impression on the examiner!"
"What the shopkeeper said is, I think so too..."
Xie Kui suddenly interjected when he heard this.
"and many more!"
"What does Gewu Daquan have to do with the Imperial University exam?"
Ding Hao laughed loudly when he heard this.
"My lord, you haven't read the mansion newspaper for a while. Three days ago, the imperial court issued an order that from now on, any exams will include physical science, which accounts for 30.00% of the total score."
"Oh?"
"How come I don't know about this?"
"what?"
This time it was Ding Hao's turn to be dumbfounded. He thought that Xie Kui had known about it for a long time since he spared no effort to promote Gewu Daquan.
"My lord, you really don't know?"
Ding Hao was annoyed when he heard the words.
"I have been squatting in the workshop for more than ten days, thinking about how to reduce costs, how to mix and match paints, and how can I find the time to read the mansion newspaper?"
"Oh oh oh..."
Ding Hao immediately stopped talking to Li Kui, and was busy making change for Wang He who was beside him.
"Sincerely 180 Wen, I'll find you [-] Wen."
"Thank you!"
When Wang He got home, he couldn't wait to open Gewu Daquan and read it. A lot of novel knowledge in it seemed to open the door to a new world for him, allowing him to know many answers that had troubled him and puzzled him.
It turns out that the big sun in the morning is just an illusion. In fact, the sun at noon is closest to people!
It turns out that the earth is a sphere, so we see the mast first, and then the hull.
It turns out that thunder travels slower than lightning, so we see lightning first, then hear thunder...
While absorbing the knowledge of Gewu, Wang He added more questions.
That is, what is the speed of lightning, and what is the speed of sound?
Also, since the earth is round, why didn't the people staying below fall to the sky?
When he finished reading the book in three days, he immediately found his goal when he saw the last page.
Because the last page of the book is very clearly written, do you want to learn these advanced knowledge, do you want to know the principles of this world, then study hard, and you can learn the relevant knowledge of this book when you are admitted to any university, Let you not only know what it is, but also know why it is.
Seeing this, Wang He strengthened his determination to enter the university!
I will do it!
While Wang He was studying at night and preparing for the entrance exams of various universities, a bad old man over seventy years old lived in a private house next to the Forbidden City.
Lao Zhu moved out of the palace since he escaped the catastrophe, and said he would never live in the palace again.
But now that his birthday is approaching, he has to deal with many things himself.
As a last resort, Lao Zhu could only find a private house next to the palace as a residence.
"Your Majesty the Supreme Emperor, there are already vassal kings coming to Beijing one after another, what kind of guard of honor should the Ministry of Rituals use to meet them?"
"What did you do before?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, all the princes used to be princes, but now they are still uncles. The older they are, the higher their status is, so it is natural to be different..."
"so troublesome……"
Old Zhu said something that shouldn't be said.
"Your etiquette department can figure it out, try to keep a low profile, and don't be restless."
"If we weren't afraid that they would mistakenly think we were dead, we really wouldn't want to live this birthday!"
The servant of the Ministry of Rites nodded quickly when he heard the words.
"Understood, I will discuss the judgment with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and must give an etiquette ceremony that satisfies His Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, there is still a princess waiting to come to Beijing for a banquet, how should I receive this?"
"Ask Guo Huifei about this, she can do whatever she likes!"
"Also... Would you please invite His Royal Highness Dai Wang and His Royal Highness Prince Heng who are being imprisoned in Jin Yiwei Prison?"
Old Zhu was really troubled when he heard this. According to his original intention, he didn't want to lose any of them, but Zhu Yunxi personally ordered the pair of bastard uncles to be imprisoned.
"Ask our grandson for instructions, and ask him if he wants us to have a good year!"
"promise!"
"Your Majesty, there is another entrance examination for the Royal University. These are the examination questions drafted by the six departments. Please check it out..."
Royal University?
When Lao Zhu heard these four words, he immediately regained his energy, and hurriedly opened the exam questions to look at them. He was a little displeased when he saw that many of them were chapters and sentences from college.
"A royal university recruits, why do you take such a difficult question!"
"Find us an Analects of Confucius, and we will draw a few by ourselves!"
