No one should be able to refuse such a beautiful big sister. Qin Yao thought enviously in her heart.
If she hadn't been in her twenties now, she would have wanted to enter this women's academy and study more.
The Female Academy is adjacent to the Imperial College, and its area is equivalent to that of the Imperial College.
Coming in from the gate, there is a small square first, and behind the square there is a lotus pond. The lotus flowers in the pond have not bloomed yet, just small buds, with a little pink tip exposed.
Passing through the long corridor next to the lotus pond, you can see a group of nine classrooms in total.
Five of the classrooms facing north are half-open, two classrooms are empty, and three classrooms have female students in class, ranging in age from six or seven to twelve or thirteen years old.
There are about thirty students in one classroom.
Students are taught separately according to age groups, and are divided into three classes: young room, middle room and green room.
The two empty classrooms belong to Qingshi.
Caiwei explained: "Qingshi are children over twelve years old. They have physical training in the morning, and they are all over there at the martial arts field."
“And there are physical skills?” Siniang couldn't help but asked curiously.
Caiwei nodded, "If you want to study well, a healthy body is essential. The younger junior and middle schools also have ten riding and shooting lessons every month for the girls to run around."
Having said this, Caiwei looked back at Qin Yao and asked tentatively: "Do you mind, Madam, about these lessons?"
Qin Yao was a little confused, "Why should you mind? Isn't this good?"
“Sister Caiwei, my mother-in-law is very good at riding and shooting!” Siniang said proudly.
Caiwei looked at Siniang in surprise, "Madam, have you also learned riding and shooting?"
Si Niang nodded crazily and corrected: "I haven't learned it before, but my mother is very good at it."
Caiwei looked back at Qin Yao again, and Qin Yao raised her brows openly at her.
Mother and daughter look exactly the same, but their energetic expressions are exactly the same.
In fact, the ages of mother and daughter were displayed in front of her, and there was no similarity in appearance. Caiwei knew at a glance that they could not be her biological mother and daughter.
But the exact same sullen expression now made her suspicious—this was really not her biological child?
“But it's okay, Madam, if you don't mind. As you know, there are many noble people in Kyoto and there are many rules.”
There are always people who are worried that their children will be injured or bumped, especially girls, who will have scars and dirty faces, and will be rejected when they get engaged.
So it is best to sit still.
Caiwei nodded and continued to lead them towards the other four closed classrooms.
As he walked, he introduced: "This is the library. Students can go inside and read books during lunch break. However, the books in the library cannot be borrowed and can only be read inside."
“This is the piano room, and every day a violinist comes to give lessons to the students.”
Si Niang pulled A Niang's sleeve excitedly, and the piano at home could be played again.
Qin Yao touched the child's head and reminded her silently: "Calm down."
The dean hasn't seen me yet, so I won't be too excited until I successfully enroll.
However, children like it so much that parents have to find a way to successfully register their children no matter what!
“Caiwei, you said there are luthiers coming every day, do you mean the luthiers coming every day are not the same?” Qin Yao asked politely.
Caiwei didn't expect that she would discover this blind spot. She coughed twice and said with a guilty conscience: "Yes, the piano players here are all from the workshop." Qin Yao understood, "I see." Nothing special. reaction.
Caiwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really scared of being questioned by the hostages. It was rare that she didn't have to explain, which was great.
Siniang raised her head and asked in a low voice: "Aniang, what is the teaching center?"
Qin Yao thought for a while and explained: "It is a place that specializes in the teaching, rehearsal and performance of music, dance, and opera. It is an official office. There are people in charge of the inner court, and there are people in charge of dignitaries in the community."
When Si Niang heard this, she exclaimed, "That's not very impressive."
Qin Yao: "Yeah, it's awesome."
Caiwei pointed to the second room upright and said, "This is the place where lunch is served. Our women's garden will have a free soup and porridge at noon. The children are not hungry, so they have to add another meal at noon."
Finally arriving at the last room, Caiwei motioned mother and daughter to wait outside while she went in first to inform them.
“Okay, please excuse me.” Qin Yao led Siniang to stand under the eaves. The sun had risen and the temperature was so high that her arms felt hot.
Si Niang asked quietly: "Aniang, has Sister Caiwei gone to see the dean?"
"It should be so." Qin Yao was not sure. Caiwei closed the door as soon as she entered. She only heard the sound of someone talking inside, but did not hear Caiwei calling the dean.
Si Niang exclaimed, looked at the large pond in front of her, and then poked her head out to look at the students in the surrounding classrooms who were listening to the Master's lectures. She was surprised to find that the Master seemed to be all women.
This is something I have never encountered before. It turns out there are so many female wives~
In Siniang's small ambition list, the career options that she can have when she grows up include the option of being a wife.
After waiting for a long time, the door did not open.
Si Niang was a little bored. Seeing that A Niang had no intention of stopping her, she moved a few steps outside and looked at the large martial arts field behind the house.
There are students who are practicing horse riding on the field, and they are all big sisters to Siniang.
There was always someone who liked to wander off during class, looking around, catching a glimpse of a curious little head poking out from behind the room, and making a face at her.
Si Niang couldn't help but laugh, but soon realized that it was school time, so she suppressed her voice again.
The masters who teach horse riding are also women. One is tall and the other is petite, but his equestrian skills are very good and he can actually run on a horse.
Si Niang could not bear to move her eyes and subconsciously held her breath for fear that the equestrian would fall.
Qin Yao noticed her daughter's nervousness and glanced at her. She was just showing off her skills, not interesting.
He retreated to the wall again and listened to what was going on in the room.
Caiwei has not spoken since entering. Two other voices have been talking. Maybe the dean has other guests.
After waiting for another half-quarter of an hour, probably because they were afraid that they would wait too long, the door opened slightly and Caiwei came out softly and said to the mother and daughter:
"It's not a good time for you to come. The dean has important guests today, and we may have to wait for a long time. Why don't you go back first?"
With that said, seeing that both mother and daughter expressed their intention to continue waiting, Caiwei waved to them to follow her to another room.
"Madam, can you write?" Caiwei took out a pen and paper, "We can leave the message first, and I will hand it over to the dean in the same way."
The mother and daughter looked at each other, a little regretful, but the timing was unlucky, so they had to do this for now.
After all, getting to this point today has been unexpectedly smooth, and judging from Caiwei's attitude, it shouldn't be difficult for Siniang to enroll in school.
Qin Yao nodded, took the pen and paper, "How should I write?" (End of this chapter)
