Chapter 190 Preparing for the Exam

When he woke up the next day, Hua Kai found that the enthusiasm of the students in the academy was much higher than yesterday. It seems that the arrangement of the teachers yesterday was still very effective.

This morning, it was the Spring and Autumn Annals again. Many students were most afraid of learning the Spring and Autumn Annals because they had to recite them. Sometimes the teacher handed down dozens of volumes of content to recite. Moreover, the words of some monarchs, saints, and giants were not as simple as the surface meaning. As an ordinary student, it was a bit difficult to understand the words at that level.

The first thing the old teacher did in class was to check the homework. From copying the key points to reciting classic excerpts, the old teacher was extremely serious. When he finished checking the homework and recitation of the 30 students in the class, there was only half an hour left before the end of the morning get out of class.

The old teacher led everyone to recite the new content several times, and then explained the meaning of the content to everyone. After the explanation, he started to assign homework for this week, which was no less than last week.

Because Hua Kai had memorized everything the teacher had said, he got an A-medium evaluation. Most of the other people in the Hua family were A-low or B-high evaluations, and only one person got B-medium.

These evaluations will be comprehensively reflected in the monthly results. The Hua family members were able to get a grade of B or above in the first week after entering the academy, which is simply a miracle in the eyes of the teacher.

Generally, it is good for students to get a grade of C or above when they enter Guangxian Academy for the first time. If they can get a grade of B or above within a year, and strive for a grade of A or above in three years, they will have the hope of entering the intermediate area.

Most students are good enough to enter the advanced area after six years of study in the academy. If they can be recommended to enter the Jixia Academy within three years, they will be considered a rare genius. With the momentum of the Hua family, someone may enter the intermediate area next month.

After checking the academy promotion system, Hua Kai set a learning goal for everyone, and they should try to be promoted to the intermediate area within three months. This requires everyone to make up for their shortcomings as much as possible, and copy and learn the knowledge of the four basic courses as much as possible every afternoon. The assessment at the end of the month is for the comprehensive content of each course, and what the teacher can talk about in class can only be regarded as a small part.

In this way, a lot of time passed, and Hua Kai led the Hua family teenagers to learn the basic knowledge of various subjects in Guangxian Academy every day. He taught everyone the multiplication table, found some academy math books, found some questions for everyone to practice, and recorded the basic formulas used in mathematics in his memory in the books, so that they could recite them after class. In this way, the math teacher of the primary zone A class found that the Hua family students were improving at an unimaginable speed. Many times, everyone could quickly give answers to the questions he asked in class.

The Hua family teenagers began to become famous in Guangxian Academy. The reason was the Book of Songs class in the second week. Everyone can use musical instruments to play a complete tune, and the teacher gave the lowest score of B-low. You should know that many students in the primary zone who have been here for more than three years can't even get a score of C-low. The number of people who come to challenge the "Genius Academy" recently is also decreasing. In the third week, basically no one came. The name of the Hua family genius student is discussed every day in Guangxian Academy.

On December 18, the rest day of the third week of studying in Guangxian Academy, Hua Kai continued to enter the dream at night to continue practicing [Righteous Qi Jue]. It is not easy to comprehend this heavenly level mental method. In the past few days, Hua Kai felt that he seemed to have grasped something.

Reciting the [Righteousness Jue] again, Hua Kai suddenly felt as if he was standing on top of the clouds. The people in the world were suffering, and wild beasts hunted humans at will. He was eager to help, but the scene changed and he seemed to be in a city. The children of the noble families were all living a luxurious and comfortable life, while the common people were struggling to survive. He couldn't help but feel sad. Suddenly, his expression was shocked. He felt a special breath in his body, and the spiritual energy around his body kept flowing towards this breath. Hua Kai felt a pain in his body and woke up from his sleep. It turned out that he had unknowingly understood the [Righteousness Jue]. He finally knew why Confucianism could become the first among the hundred schools. Confucianism takes it as its mission to save the people of the world, and to serve the world with righteousness in mind! All Confucian scholars must have righteousness in their hearts. They can fight with righteousness when facing opponents, and they are all just battles. But if one day you leave the ranks of justice, [Haoran Righteousness] will dissipate from your body, and it may backfire in serious cases. He looked at his attributes and found that his willpower had improved a little. The attribute panel showed that he had entered the [Righteousness Jue], and now he was also a Confucian student!

The next day, when the Hua family got up, they found that Hua Kai was not right. When everyone heard that Hua Kai had become a Confucian student, they were all surprised.

The most important point to enter the advanced school area is to have an academic book to enter the student level, and Hua Kai only took more than ten days to comprehend the Confucian mind method, which made everyone very excited. Maybe they can also become Confucian students soon?

In the morning, I came to the classroom. Today is the last week of the academy study this month. Everyone is focusing on reviewing. Many students who may be promoted to the intermediate area are even more diligent. In the morning, I saw someone holding a book to recite.

There is no class today. A teacher told everyone to study by themselves. There is a pile of bamboo slips on everyone's table. This is what they may be tested on in this month's exam.

All the teachers also went to set questions together today. Hua Kai opened the bamboo slips and studied hard. There are rich contents in it, and many things need to be memorized by rote. It is not so easy to be promoted to the intermediate area.

No one spoke in the whole classroom, everyone was studying hard. After lunch at noon, Hua Kai called all the students of the Hua family together and asked everyone to summarize the content that needed to be understood this month and the content that needed to be memorized.

This afternoon was still a free review. Hua Kai took all the family students to the Cangshuyuan to copy most of the content that would be tested in the primary area. They reluctantly returned when the Cangshuyuan closed at night.

In the evening, when all the copied things were organized, Hua Kai and Xue Chen took turns to tell everyone some things that needed to be understood. Although they did not understand as deeply as the teacher, it was also useful for coping with the exam.

Then everyone recited the things that needed to be memorized together. In the early morning of the next day, everyone got up and practiced the ensemble and chanting of the Book of Songs, and then went to the classroom for dinner.

Everyone sat down, and soon the old gentleman walked into the classroom. The teacher behind him brought a cart of bamboo slips and gave each person a roll. Hua Kai couldn't help but complain that this academy was too stingy. "Hua's Paper" has been promoted for more than a year, and this academy still uses bamboo slips to write. Don't you know how to keep up with the times?

But he himself did not think about it. Although the price of a piece of "Hua Shi Paper" has dropped a lot, now a large piece costs 10 taels of silver. The academy with more than 600 students is reluctant to spend this money. You should know that the tuition fees of all students in a year are only more than 1,000 gold. With other income from the canteen, musical instruments, etc., there is not much left after supporting hundreds of teachers.

"Today is the monthly exam time, no one is allowed to cheat! If you are found cheating or plagiarizing others, all your grades this month will be cancelled and you will not be promoted to the intermediate zone within a year." The old man looked at the students sitting and said.

All the students sat quietly and watched the teacher come to the first student.

"In the first month of spring, the king built a city in Chuqiu. In the fifth month of summer, Xinsi, my little lord Ai Jiang was buried. The Yu army and the Jin army destroyed Xiayang. In the ninth month of autumn, the Duke of Qi, the Duke of Song, the people of Jiang, and the people of Huang made an alliance in Guan... Where did it come from? What is the explanation?" The old man tested the first student.

Hua Kai found that the old teacher asked about things in the official history of the Spring and Autumn Period, which he rarely talked about in class. Most of the students sitting here learned the most about the history of the Spring and Autumn Period of Qi. It seems that most of the learning in Guangxian Academy has to rely on self-study!

The class leader who ranked first in the primary area last month is also capable. He answered the source of this article in a proper manner and then gave an explanation.

The teacher nodded and wrote something behind a bamboo slip with a pen. Then he came to the second student and asked about the Spring and Autumn Period of Lu. Fortunately, this section is more famous, and this student also answered it, but the general explanation was not very clear, so the old teacher asked him to sit down.

Until he came to Hua Kai, the old man stared at him and thought for a while.

He asked Hua Kai a simplest history of the Spring and Autumn Period of Qi, and Hua Kai answered it directly without thinking. Then he asked a more difficult official history of the Spring and Autumn Period. Hua Kai had also read these, and reviewed them twice in his dreams at night, and he answered them easily.

"Well, very good!" The old man gave Hua Kai a satisfactory evaluation.

Then he asked other Hua family students and deliberately increased the difficulty. Most of the Hua family members could answer the source, but the annotations were not very good. When he walked in front of Xue Chen, he deliberately asked three questions, and Xue Chen answered them all.

After the inspection, some people were happy and some were worried. The old man wrote three paragraphs of "Spring and Autumn" titles on the two platforms in front and asked everyone to start reciting the content. The first paragraph was very simple, the second paragraph was a bit difficult, and the third paragraph was not mentioned by the old man. Hua Kai just read this paragraph yesterday. He remembered that it had nearly a thousand words. The old man actually asked them to recite this!

Everyone lowered their heads and began to recite the test content. Hua Kai quickly finished the first two paragraphs, and began to get stuck in the third paragraph. He only reviewed it three times in his dream last night, and it was very difficult to recite.

When the old man reminded him that it was almost time to hand in the paper, Hua Kai put down his pen. He saw Xue Chen sitting there, but he had already finished answering!

The bell rang, and everyone stood up and put down their pens. Several teachers came in and took away all their bamboo slips. The Spring and Autumn Period exam was over, and everyone could move freely in the afternoon.

Tomorrow is the exam for the Book of Songs. The Hua family students are more confident about this. In the afternoon, Hua Kai led everyone to try it several times. Everyone has become more and more familiar with the performance, and the rhythm is well grasped. Everyone's chanting is also good. This time we should be able to get a good score.
