As expected, the registration time ended at noon, and the names had already been registered. Qin Yao and others who were waiting looked up and looked behind them, and saw that there was still a long queue.

After learning that registration was closed, everyone could only sigh and regret that they had not come earlier.

The steward told the assessment time in the afternoon and divided it into several time periods. Sanlang and Siniang, Jinbao Jinhua, were just divided into upper and lower groups.

The golden flowers and golden treasures are slightly ahead, and the twins of dragon and phoenix are slightly behind.

Qin Yao glanced at the sky and saw that it was still early. She planned to take the children to the town for lunch before coming back. She was very calm.

It was in sharp contrast to the other people anxiously instructing their children under the tree next to them.

Liu Bai was very anxious, because the children at home had no basic knowledge and could not hold a pen. It would be strange if they could pass the assessment.

However, the children's stomachs were already growling, and Qin Yao added: "If you are not full, how can you test your strength? Eat enough first."

The main reason was that she was going crazy with hunger. She came here before dawn and waited all morning to confirm the assessment list. The little food she had eaten in the morning had long been consumed.

Liu Zhong and Dalang, who were waiting on the pipeline, also looked forward frequently, waiting very painfully.

Erlang, on the other hand, jumped here and there in the crowd, and when he came back he said with great regret:

"I wish I had made a pot of sugar water and brought it here. With so many people, each person can earn a lot of copper coins per bowl."

Dalang looked at him angrily, "You're just looking at money. Aunt Yao and the others haven't come back yet, so we don't know what the outcome will be."

They stood far away and only listened to others saying that registration would stop after noon. They couldn't see whether Qin Yao and the others were in the front or behind. Seeing other villagers regretfully returning home, they couldn't help but worry.

Waiting and waiting, my stomach was feeling flat from waiting, and finally I saw those familiar figures.

Liu Zhong ran forward, took his daughter and asked, "How is it? Have you reported it?"

Jinhua looked uneasy. Liu Zhong thought he hadn't reported it yet. Just when he was about to sigh, Jinhua hummed again.

"You kid, why aren't you happy when your name is signed? It scares me to death." Liu Zhong said angrily.

Jinhua was already worried about the assessment in the afternoon, but when her father said this, she became even more anxious. Just now she had endured it without the person she was most familiar with, but now her father was right in front of her, her mouth flattened, and she said in a tearful tone:

"There are still exams in the afternoon. Dad, what if I fail?"

Liu Zhong thought it was a big deal, "If you don't pass the exam, you can't pass the exam. I didn't expect you to pass the exam. If you hadn't made a fuss about coming, we wouldn't have made this trip."

When he said this, Liu Bai quickly patted his brother and said, "Shut up. The child is already anxious. If you don't help, just say these depressing words."

Only then did Liu Zhong realize that he had said the wrong thing and quickly coaxed: "It's okay, we have tried it after all. Let's go, dad will take you to the town to eat delicious food!"

Jinhua was a little happier now.

Everyone got on the carriage and went to a noodle shop in the town to eat. Because there were so many people today, there were no seats in the shop. Everyone was squatting in front of the shop with bowls of noodles to eat.

The adults in Qin Yao ate standing up, while the children placed their noodle bowls on the shaft of the cart and ate them. The height was just right.

Qin Yao ate four bowls of noodles in one go, then burped with satisfaction, put down her chopsticks and analyzed it to her two brothers:

"I just looked at the list. There are seventy-six competitors for our children. Among them, there are twelve children from the wealthy families. They all seem to be somewhat basic. They must be among the first twelve places."

"There are still eighteen vacancies left for our children to fight for. I see that the fifty-two children are all from various villages. They don't seem to be literate. I'm not worried about Sanlang and Si Niang at all."

"As for Golden Flowers and Golden Treasures, although it's a bit late to cram it now, it shouldn't be difficult to memorize two paragraphs of the book. There is still hope."

When Liu Bai and Liu Zhong heard this, they brought the child over and asked him to eat whatever he wanted. Hurry up and endorse it to your third aunt!

Jinbao Jinhua, who still had noodles on her lips, was stunned, Huh?

Qin Yao looked at the Liu Bai brothers helplessly, "What's the hurry? Let the children finish eating first."

She just wanted to teach them what would have a better chance of winning.

Question answering is one of the skills that modern students are best at.

The enlightenment books here are Thousand Character Essays and Hundred Family Surnames. Every student who first arrives at the school will be enlightened first with the Hundred Family Surnames.

First, the content is short and interesting, and second, this book is the cheapest.

The Thousand-Character Essay is a deeper level, teaching students some simple principles.

The gentlemen of the Ding family should also know that the cultural level of these country children is zero, and the questions should not be too deep. They may be assessed on moral, intellectual, and physical aspects to see if their character is smart enough and convenient. teaching.

Therefore, the probability of being admitted to the Thousand-Character Examination is low.

Then let Jinbao Jinhua memorize hundreds of surnames. It takes a short time and can memorize forty or fifty surnames quickly. It can be used if the husband asks them what books they have read. Just ignore those who just say they haven’t read them. A long street.

In terms of character, it mainly depends on etiquette. This is easy to learn, and you will be able to do it after being taught. It will be no problem to deal with it temporarily.

So, after Jinhua Jinbao finished eating, several people drove the carriage to a secluded grassland near Dingjiazhuang and began emergency training.

Afraid that Sanlang and Siniang would forget what they had previewed yesterday, Qin Yao asked Dalang Erlang to take them aside to review the lesson several times.

Liu Bai and Liu Zhong admired Qin Yao's unhurried and clear manner.

This is much better than the two of them being like headless flies.

Turning around and looking around, he saw that his opponent was exactly what the three younger siblings had predicted. Except for the children from those clans, no one else had read a book at all. They didn't even understand etiquette. They just knew how to teach children to kneel and kowtow. How to say sweet. Talking to make the master happy are useless things.

Looking at the golden flowers and golden treasures again, with the help of Qin Yao's quick formulas, I can recite the words of Zhao Qian, Li Zhou, Wu Zheng and Wang smoothly.

We also know that after standing upright, we should bow in a graceful manner.

The two brothers suddenly had confidence in their baby.

Soon, the bell rang from the school, and everyone waiting for the assessment couldn't help but feel anxious and hurriedly gathered towards the school.

Jinhua Jinbao was the first wave, Liu Bai and Liu Zhong encouraged their children, "Don't be afraid, just do as your third aunt taught you, and show your skills. Dad is waiting for you outside."

Jinbao Jinhua nodded, took a deep breath, and prepared to enter.

Qin Yao got behind the two of them again and told them to pay more attention to the assessment rules. If we are not good at one level, there is always one level that is good. Don't slack off just because of the failure of the first level, which will affect the mentality later.

"Don't think of this as an assessment, just think of it as an opportunity to see the world. Aren't you always curious about what the school and the master are like? I just happened to visit today. I heard from your third uncle that the Ding family's school is better than the county academy. all good."

"Better than the county seat?" Jinbao asked in a surprised voice.

Qin Yao nodded, and the brother and sister became curious. Their attention shifted a lot from the assessment, and their tense emotions relaxed obviously.

Liu Bai and Liu Zhong smiled gratefully at Qin Yao again. Really, without her, they might not have even signed up today. (End of chapter)
