The news that the entrance examination of Jinling Women's University was very difficult spread quickly throughout the three towns of Wuhan!

The parents and family members of the more than 300 girls who had passed the preliminary examination were all a little uneasy. Some of them had some connections and went through various channels to get a copy of Princess Nessa's examination paper. After a look,

That was a surprise.

This is too difficult and too deep!

Many test questions cannot be answered by graduates of girls' middle schools, so they can be used to test high-achieving students!

But you said it was difficult, and everyone answered it. Three subjects were 100 points, one was 85 points, and the four papers were 385 points! It is said that the martial arts score was 85 points, the music score was 95 points, and the interview was 60 points. In total,

Scored 625 points (total score 660)!

Those girls and their parents who had ideas about the position of the Crown Princess were both worried and happy at the same time!

I’m worried because I’m afraid of failing the exam... This time, I’ll be stuck for life once I take the exam! There’s no re-study, and there’s no way to get the gold medal by studying abroad. If you fail the exam, you’ll be stuck for life!

As for the lucky thing, it's because Princess Nisha doesn't participate in the competition for the crown princess, and she has already been reserved by the crown prince's father.

However, without Princess Nisha participating in the competition, others did not dare to take it lightly. Just ten days before the official start of the women's college examination, the students of Wuhan Taixue University suddenly became very popular, and they were invited by big shots with good heads and daughters.

Become a tutor.

The old textbooks from the Army Martial Arts Hall are also very popular, and people with the means want to get them to give their daughters who are taking the exams a hug - but except for the young ladies from the general family who have heard about it since childhood and are very familiar with military affairs, no one else can read it.

I understand! The most you can do is have a good memory and memorize all the books, which is better than not knowing anything at all!

Just when the parents of more than 300 candidates were extremely busy because of the sudden increase in the difficulty of the exam, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty issued an edict, appointing Fu Wang Zhu Cibing as the left secretary of the Jinling Female University, and Pan Shuchen, the governor of the East Factory, as the female university.

Dayou Siye, and ordered two people to be responsible for presiding over the re-examination for women's university entrance.

At the same time, Zhu Cihong also announced the time and subjects of the "College Entrance Examination" through an edict.

This time the "College Entrance Examination" will be divided into a written test and an interview. The written test will start from the morning of May 15th, the 20th year of Hongxing's reign, and end in the afternoon of May 17th. The written test will take place on the morning of May 15th, which is Confucianism, that is, philosophy;

There will be a math test on the afternoon of the 5th; a French test on the morning of the 16th; a physics test on the 16th afternoon; and a martial arts test all day on the 17th. From the 18th to the end of the month, there will be interviews - Zhu Cixiang. All of them passed the re-examination, and

Girls who are qualified to become the Zhu family's wife. Candidates who are not qualified to become the Zhu family's wife (surnamed Zhu or non-Ming people) also need to participate in the interview, but the interview is not conducted by Zhu Cihong in person, but by Zhu Cibing.

In other words, this time the "College Entrance Examination" will not test military studies, but only martial arts.

The test scores for each subject have also been announced. Confucianism, arithmetic, French, Wushu, martial arts, and interview, the full score is 100 points, and the total score is 600 points!

The number of students admitted to the first class of Jinling Women's University was also announced at the same time. No more, no less, only 200 students will be admitted. They will be divided into 4 classes and all will go to Jinling Women's University in Yingtianfu. The school will provide accommodation and allow students

Day reading.

The academic system of the Women's University was also announced in the edict. The academic system lasts for four years, and students are allowed to continue their studies after getting married...

As for the questions for the four exams of Confucianism, Arithmetic, French, and Quwu, they were all set by Emperor Zhu himself. If you have the ability, just guess!

Finally, Emperor Zhu also announced in this edict that all candidates who are citizens of the Ming Dynasty, are not named Zhu, and are not cousins ​​of the prince, no matter whether they are rich or poor, they will have the opportunity to pass this exam and become the crown prince and concubine of the Ming Dynasty - as long as she can

Ranked first!

The imperial edict concerning the admissions examination of Jinling Women's University was a public edict, that is, it was publicly published in newspapers and "reported to the world."

In fact, Jinling Women's University's admissions matter has been going on for a long time, but it has never been "reported to the world". The decree has only been sent to the few girls' schools in various places and to Ying Tianxungui. Moreover, it has not been explicitly stated that "one exam will be used for life."

, let alone publicly said that the leader of the female college entrance examination is the crown princess.

So when this edict came out, of course the whole country was shocked!

The position of the Crown Princess can be "taken by the one with the highest score". Doesn't this qualify as the number one scholar? Now there are no men in the Ming Dynasty who can take the number one exam - Zhu Cixiang changed the imperial examination into an official examination and no longer organized a "promotional" imperial examination. Of course,

There are no more ministerial examinations, palace examinations and point champions that attract the world's attention.

Now there are three ways for officials (civil servants) in the Ming Dynasty to come. One is that the ministries and provincial yamen organize official examinations on their own under the supervision of the Ministry of Personnel (the examination of the Ministry of Personnel is supervised by the Procuratorate); the other is that they are supervised by the Ministry of Rites of the Fifteenth Institute.

There are university graduates who are exempted from taking exams and become officials (there are only 15 universities in the country, and the annual graduates earn about 1,500, which is very rare!); third, there are retired military attachés who have transferred to civil service (must have graduated from the army and navy to transfer to civil service)

).

No matter what kind of background you come from, it is not easy to get into the "Tianzitang" (an official who is qualified to participate in the imperial meeting). You must pass various tests, show political achievements, make fewer mistakes, and have a certain level of official luck.

.....The good deeds of being a Heavenly Man in the morning and ascending to the Emperor's Hall in the evening no longer exist!

But now there is a story about being a student girl in the morning and a princess in the evening...can you not make people stunned?

While most of the subjects of the Ming Empire were wondering what Emperor Zhu was planning, the future first-generation female college students of the Ming Dynasty had already arrived at the examination room accompanied by their families.

Ding Yuying was one of the few civilian girls who participated in this exam. On May 15th, just after the fourth watch, and the sky was still dark, she had already gotten up and typed Pan Shuchen first.

She took out a Kaiyuan bow and started practicing archery - she didn't know martial arts at first. She only learned archery from Pan Shuchen after living in Pan Shuchen's house in Dongchang Yamen, and also learned a set of exercises to strengthen her body.

She also learned some boxing skills, simple sword skills, and a little bit of equestrian skills (she could already ride a horse). In order to get more points in the martial arts exam, she got up every morning to practice for the past few months, rain or shine!

Even if it is snowing heavily, she will practice hard. This fierceness is worthy of the nickname "Xiao Ding's skinning", but her father is picking off other people's skin, and she is picking off her own skin.

Pan Shuchen originally didn't think much of this girl with no foundation, but he was moved by her hardworking spirit and thought of his own experiences back then... He was a eunuch, so he could imagine what the situation in his family was like.

Yes! To be able to achieve today's status, of course he is also a ruthless person who is willing to endure hardships.

However, he also knows that martial arts training cannot be achieved quickly. The daughters of noble generals have to work hard, so how can Ding Yuying compete with others? It will be useless to train herself to death for several months.

So he formulated a make-up lesson method for Ding Yuying to use her strengths and avoid her weaknesses - she must practice martial arts, otherwise she will get zero points. But you cannot expect to get high scores in martial arts. You must put your limited experience into the areas where you can best score points.

place.

For this reason, Pan Shuchen also hired a tutor from Wuhan Taixue to give Ding Yuying extra lessons. This gentleman was also very capable. After some inspection, he found that Ding Yuying was good in mathematics and Confucianism, but her French was too poor - she

I went to a private school for girls, and it was a private school for girls in the Huguang area. The education level was very poor.

Ding Yuying is the number one academic in the school, so she is good at mathematics and Confucianism. There are still people who can teach these two subjects. If she is not good at it, she can still teach herself. But she is not good at French... There is no teacher to teach her.

, and I can’t learn by myself. I don’t even have a radio these days. How can it be good?

So this gentleman taught Ding Yuying her French skills. After a few months, this little girl's French was good enough to talk to French people!

When Ding Yuying finished practicing archery, the sky was already brightening. Pan Shuchen had also gotten up, washed and dressed neatly. He stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back. He looked at the little girl who was packing her bow and arrows and sighed softly - this girl is a piece of beautiful jade.
