The carriage galloped all the way. Su Li and Su Zipei finally arrived at the Muyang Town before 7 am. The area of the Muyang Town was three times larger than that of the Dasu Town. It was a veritable big town. Its prosperity was far greater than that of the Dasu Town. This was also the reason why the Muyang Girls' School could become the first girls' school after the Qinghe Girls' School.
Su Zipei carefully opened the curtain. She was full of novelty, like a village woman entering the city. When pedestrians saw her expression, they couldn't help but snigger.
Su Zipei reacted and hurriedly put down the curtain. Her face was very red. She pretended that nothing had happened and peeped at Su Li. However, she saw that Su Li was resting with her eyes closed. She didn't open the curtain at all.
"Fortunately, she didn't see me …"
While she was thinking about it, the coachman's voice suddenly sounded from outside, "Miss, we have arrived at the Girls' School."
Su Zipei quickly tidied up a well-dressed dress, opened the curtain and walked down. Su Li glanced at the book cylinder still in front of her. She slowly took out all the things in the book cylinder and then walked down the carriage with the empty book cylinder.
What came into view was a square. The surrounding field of vision was wide. Flowers of various colors were blooming in the flowerbed. Red bricks and green tiles could be faintly seen in the dense forest.
"This is the Muyang Girls' School. The houses are so beautiful!"
"There are so many flowers in the flowerbed that I have never seen before. I am so lucky to enter the Muyang Girls' School!"
"…"
In addition to Su Li and Su Zipei, there were many well-dressed misses in the square. All of them had outstanding temperament. At this moment, they whispered in groups of three or five. Their words were full of admiration for the Muyang Girls' School.
Su Li held the book cylinder in her hand and didn't dress very luxuriously. Many maids held the book cylinder in their arms and subconsciously regarded Su Li as a maid like them. They whispered in private, "Who is she? She doesn't look like a maid from her dress … "
"But why is she holding the book cylinder in her hand? I am afraid that she is the maid of the miss next to her."
Su Zipei listened to these and felt a sense of success. However, Su Li's expression didn't change. She still held the book cylinder and looked around.
Not long after, a middle-aged woman in a navy blue palace dress came slowly. Her posture was very elegant and her voice was clear. "I'm Lecturer Ning of the Muyang School. All the students who are enrolled today come to me and hand in their admission letters in turn."
When the voice came out, a group of girls immediately rushed to Lecturer Ning. Su Zipei wanted to catch up with them, but Su Li slowed down. Su Zipei was so angry that her face was slightly pale. But because the book cylinder was still in Su Li's hand, she could only slow down.
The speed at which the admission letters were checked was very slow. The procession had only gone through a small part of the procession when it was already noon. A group of pampered young ladies showed impatience on their faces. Several of them sent their maids forward to inquire, but they were stopped by the academy's steward.
Su Zipei was extremely annoyed. If it weren't for Su Li, she might have gone in. Why did he have to suffer under the sun here? His skin was almost tanned!
These impetuous young ladies didn't notice that Lecturer Ning was looking at them. The test began from the first step of entering the Muyang School, and most of these ignorant young ladies had not noticed it.
Finally, Lecturer Ning's eyes fell on several people and she nodded slightly. Because Su Li was carrying the book cylinder, she was mistakenly regarded as a maid. Lecturer Ning's eyes never stayed on her for a moment.
After looking at them, Lecturer Ning sped up. The procession was shortened quickly. Soon it was Su Zipei's turn.
Su Zipei took out a neatly folded admission letter from her arms and handed it to Lecturer Ning respectfully. Lecturer Ning slightly nodded, thinking that although this girl was a little impetuous, she was modest and polite, which was not bad.
"Next!"
The steward shouted loudly. At the same time, he stepped aside to let Su Zipei enter the gate. Suddenly, he frowned. Seeing that Su Li didn't go in, he couldn't help but scold, "What are you doing? Hurry up and go in with your miss!"
Su Zipei saw this scene inside and laughed happily. She expected Su Li to show her anger and directly annoy Lecturer Ning, but she was disappointed.
Su Li smiled slightly and shook her head. She said calmly, "Steward, I am not a maid, but a student who comes to enter the school."
The steward was stunned when he heard that. Seeing that Su Li had taken out the admission letter, he was more embarrassed. He cursed in his heart, "How could she come to the school without a maid? Which miss is so embarrassed?"
Lecturer Ning was also secretly surprised. She took the admission letter and unfolded it. It was Su Li from the Su Family.
It turned out to be her!
Lecturer Ning frowned secretly. She didn't pay attention to the girl's expression and reaction because of the misunderstanding. She miscalculated.
"You go in. Next time, let your sister take the book cylinder by herself."
Her eyesight was so sharp that she looked back at Su Zipei who was gloating. She immediately understood the ins and outs of the matter. Su Zipei was as narrow-minded as rumored. She liked to play small tricks. It was really difficult for her to enter the hall of elegance.
Su Li chuckled and didn't hide the situation inside the book cylinder. She said, "I just hope my sister doesn't blame me."
When Lecturer Ning saw that the book cylinder was empty, she was even more surprised. Then a trace of appreciation flashed through her eyes. She didn't teach weak and incompetent people. If they were bullied, they should retaliate immediately. Obviously, Su Li's approach … was very to her taste!
After entering the school, they were led by the supervisor.
Su Li and others soon came to a classroom. Without any delay, the first lesson of Muyang School began quickly.
Sitting behind the teacher's desk was an old teacher with gray hair. He held a wooden ruler in his hand and looked stern.
"You are all misses from big families in the nearby towns. Today's first lesson is the foundation of literacy! It is also the first test. According to your literacy level, you will be divided into different classes. Now, open your Dictionary of Dahan! "
As soon as the old teacher finished his words, there was a neat sound under the podium. All the misses put the Dictionary of Dahan on the table. When Su Li took out the pitch-black Dictionary of Dahan, it immediately caused a burst of laughter.
"What the hell is this?"
"Dictionary of Dahan?"
"It seems that there is no such version. Is it possible that she bought a pirated version printed on the street?"
The room immediately became noisy. The old teacher frowned and fiercely patted the table twice. He shouted, "Silence!!"
The whole scene immediately became quiet. Everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter. They almost forgot that they were not in the school at home.
The old teacher snorted coldly and looked at Su Li coldly, "You, stand up and answer. I asked you to take out the Dictionary of Dahan. What did you take out? "
Su Li stood up and said in a respectful tone without fear, "Sir, this is indeed the Dictionary of Dahan printed by the government. But the ink on the cover is broken. There is no pollution inside. I am reluctant to throw it away, so I keep it with me."
As she said, Su Li opened the first page, which was densely covered with small footnotes. The rich miss next to her widened her eyes.
The old teacher found the abnormality and was curious. He couldn't help but say, "Let me have a look."
Su Li immediately handed it to the manservant. When the old teacher got the Dictionary of Dahan, his turbid eyes couldn't help but brighten. He turned it page by page, but he found that every page was covered with footnotes. Until the last page, he felt that the footnotes were sparse.
"Good!" The old teacher smiled and praised her generously, "What's your name?"
"My name is Su Li. Su as in Gusu and Li as in Linli."
"Good! You don't have to take part in this test. You can directly go to Class A. "
The old teacher directly made the decision. Su Li raised her eyebrows and thought that the old teacher was really bold.
Other people had already been stunned.
Class A was the best literacy class for cultivating girls in Muyang. It was said that half of the people in it could become female officials of the imperial court. How could Su Li take out a black book and directly go there without doing anything?
What was different about that black book?
Su Zipei sat aside and felt jealous and regretful. If she had known that Su Li's book was so useful, she would have grabbed it earlier. Damn it!
"Why? Sir, I don't accept it! "
The atmosphere was silent for a moment. Finally, someone couldn't help standing up and shouting. They were all the pearls of their families. They strived to do the best in everything. How could they allow someone to climb over their heads without doing anything?
"Even if you don't accept it, you have to accept it! This is my classroom, the Muyang School, not your home! " The old teacher stared and was obviously angry. He said, "If you don't care about my teaching, you can leave!"
As soon as the words came out, the face of the miss who stood up changed from green to white. It was very ugly.
At this time, Su Li spoke.
"Sir, I don't want to cause criticism. I believe that I can enter Class A with my own strength. Please treat me equally. "
Hearing that, the old teacher immediately smiled and said, "Good! I approve. You continue to sit down and take the test. "
The miss who stood up also breathed a sigh of relief and sat down slowly. Although Su Li helped her out of trouble, she didn't feel grateful at all. Instead, she felt that Su Li was hypocritical and really annoying.
After the disturbance, Su Zipei looked around and found that everyone used the same Dictionary of Dahan as Su Li. They didn't buy the latest version. She immediately felt happy and opened the book tube to put her hand in.
As soon as she put her hand in, the smile on Su Zipei's face disappeared instantly and her face became pale.
This book tube … When was it empty?!
"What are you doing?"
The old teacher's stern words suddenly appeared in her ears. Su Zipei trembled and looked up. She saw the old teacher standing in front of her. She was so scared that she shrank back and fell directly from the seat.
The old teacher's face was strange. He bent down to pick up the book tube, but his hand was light. He made a sound of surprise and opened it. He immediately became angry.
"Well! I have been teaching for many years, but it is the first time that I see a student who comes to class without a book! Get out of here! You are not allowed to take the test this time. Go to Class Gui tomorrow and start from the beginning! "
Class Gui was the last of the Ten Heavenly Stems. It was easy to imagine what Class Gui was like.
Su Zipei was suddenly stunned by the scolding and her mind was in a mess. She clearly remembered that she had filled the book tube. How could it be empty? Along the way, Su Li clearly took it well … Wait a minute!
"Su Li! You hurt me!! "
Su Zipei suddenly screamed through the air like a ghost, which scared the old teacher. He angrily called a manservant to drag Su Zipei out.
"How dare you! How dare you! How dare you make a noise in the school. Who allowed such a student to come in? You are just a rat's shit!! "
The old teacher was so angry that he even said "rat's shit". Obviously, he was dizzy because of Su Zipei's barbaric behavior.
Su Li sat in the same place, looking down and waiting for the test to begin.
Next, the whole test seemed to be calm. Every time the manservant reported the number of pages and lines of a Dictionary of Dahan, Su Li was always the first to say it. The old teacher's anger was almost gone. When he looked at Su Li, he smiled again.
Although the students accepted this year were a mix of good and bad, there were still surprises. This little girl had some skills. When she entered the Jia class, he would definitely teach her well.
"Next, announce the class list!"
"Su Li, Class Jia!"
"Mei Ruohan, Class Bing!"
"…"
Except that Su Li was in Class Jia, there was no one in Class B. There was only one in Class C, which was the girl who sat beside Su Li with a shocked look. Most of the others were in Class D and Class E.
