Chapter IX Evaluation Class A

Han Qi nodded and was taught after hearing this. Mr. Sun led it into it. There was a sound of reading in the bright and clean book hall. Mr. Sun led her in and handed her over to another middle-aged scholar standing on top to urge students to study.

"This is Mr. Wei, the teacher of Class Xu!"

Han Qi hurriedly stepped forward to salute,

"Hello Mr. Wei!"

Mr. Wei is a good-natured person. When he saw her, he raised his hand with a smile.

"Go to sit there!"

Han Qi sat on the last row of empty seats as he was, flipped out the book from the book bag, and read it with all the classmates in the hall.

Han Qi had a rare opportunity to enter the academy in her past and present life, so she naturally cherished it very much. Although she could read, she eventually taught herself at home. Her father and sisters were also very happy to teach. When she thought of it, she taught there. Therefore, she learned in a messy and unconventional way. After entering the academy, it was a bit difficult to listen to her teacher’s lectures.

But she didn't mind at all. She just felt that it was better than others and worked harder. She sat in the school every day except for eating and entering the toilet before leaving her seat, and she spent the rest of her time reading hard with books. Her classmates first saw a newcomer coming and were very curious and came to talk to her.

Han Qi had come and went, and responded to others with a very good temper. She was an adult in her bones, and she didn't say much to these little girls who were only seven or eight years old and only eleven or two years old. Over time, everyone laughed at her as a nerd. Although she was not too close to her, she would not be too repulsive and embarrassed by her.

However, her look of turning a blind eye to the outside world and focusing on reading sages made Mr. Wei liked her very much. She also pity her for her poor foundation, so she deliberately added some homework to her after class. This made Han Qi a little difficult.

Only her temperament is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, so she naturally doesn't want to disappoint her husband. Her classmates look down on her and study hard every day. In addition to those who go out early and come back late, she also works at night when she returns home. After just one month of entering the college, she loses a lot of weight!

Aunt Miao felt both distressed and relieved when she saw it, so she had to quietly ask Han Shifeng for advice while serving the master.

"As soon as my third sister entered the academy, she became a demon. She didn't want to eat when she read books. She saw that everyone had lost weight. She had just recovered from her serious illness. I was afraid that she would hurt her body, so I wanted to make up for her more!"

Han Shifeng was very pleased when he heard this, so he secretly gave Miao a ingot of silver. Miao waved his hand as soon as he saw it.

"Ten taels of silver! So much! Master can't do it!"

The salaries of officials in this dynasty are extremely low, and Han Shifeng's monthly salary is only about thirty taels of silver. He gave Miao ten taels at once, but she was shocked.

"If the mistress knows, it will be a big bad!"

Han Shifeng came out of his hometown in Tongzhou and was served by her. After so many years, he knew that she was honest and timid, so he told me,

"That's for you, just keep it in there. Remember not to miss the Wang place!"

Miao didn't dare to say anything more and just put it away carefully. Han Shifeng was very happy to hear that his daughter was working hard, and he said in his heart,

"The third brother is indeed the most like me. Although it is not as talented as I was when I was young, diligence can make up for my shortcomings. A talent for learning is the most important thing, and hard work is the most important thing!"

After thinking about it, he sighed,

"It's a pity that the third brother is a daughter. If the fourth brother can be like his sister, I would have to worry a lot!"

Speaking of his son Han Jinyue, Han Shifeng sighed repeatedly. He was also a thirty-year-old man, and he had only such a son under his knees, but he didn't follow him. I don't know how he followed his old Taishan, the old general Wang!

The old general Wang was named Wang Fu. He was born in a military general for generations. His ancestors had made many contributions to the wars of Chengzu. It was passed down to Wang Fu's generation, but it did not make the reputation of the Wang family. However, in the generation of Mrs. Wang, there were many brothers in the family, but none of them had achieved success in martial arts. But his married daughter Wang Huihui gave birth to a grandson who loved martial arts and worries about literature.

Han Jinyue, the son of the Han family, followed his grandfather, and he was so happy that he wanted to sit down and read and write, but he wanted to kill him. Han Shifeng was from the imperial examination, so he naturally didn't want to have a reckless son, but he had no choice but to be so arrogant that he could not beat or scold him. He forced himself to study for a few years before, but when he got older, he was beaten to death and refused to study, and insisted on learning martial arts from his grandfather.

Han Shifeng had no choice but to follow his son and sent his son to General Wang to learn martial arts. Although General Wang was old, he was strong and still had a horse and a bow. The 80-pound big sword was dancing with a gust. Now he was sent to guard Yingtian Prefecture, Nanzhili, so Han Jinyue was kept in front of the old general.

Seeing that his son didn't like writing, Han Shifeng had to inherit his talent for studying, so he became a little biased in his heart and secretly gave his private money to his concubine.

Didn’t it be said that the salaries of officials in this dynasty are low, so where did Han Shifeng get the private money?

Of course, it is precisely because of the fact that the dynasty has been very mean to the officials since its founding. Even if the salary is open throughout the year, it is a bit unsustainable to support the family. Moreover, Taizu made a law that would last for thousands of years. The emperor later did not dare to change the rules of his ancestors at will and paid more money to his ministers. Moreover, because the court printed more treasure money over the years, it became increasingly worse and worse. The paper pieces that were issued with the fragrance of ink every month were no longer available to buy things on the market. The corresponding officials' salary did not increase but decreased, and they became less and less profitable!

However, there are national policies and countermeasures. Rules are dead and people live. Naturally, officials cannot keep the money. The family and young starve to death with their stomachs. Therefore, there are cool silver in summer, charcoal silver in winter, seed silver in spring, grain harvest silver in autumn, soapcorn silver when bathing, medical silver when sick, etc. These are all kinds of silver in the yamen.

The filial piety in secret or the silver "gifted" for business, is hard to say. Han Shifeng is a square man, but he cannot avoid collecting some with the flow. Only these silvers are not counted in a month, sometimes more, sometimes less, and Wang can't care about the details.

In order to facilitate socializing, Han Shifeng also had to leave some spare parts, and it was not difficult to squeeze out ten taels for Miao.

Miao was an honest man. He secretly collected the silver for fear that the mistress would know, which made the mistress angry. So he thorned all the ten taels of silver into pieces and took them out little by little for flowers. After three or five days, he secretly asked the woman who bought it and bought some good materials to help her third sister.

Han Qi naturally didn't know this. She studied hard in school for one month. This day was after the monthly exam. She sat upright in the school and heard Mr. Wei comment on the students' grades.

She was the first monthly exam in her two lives. She didn't know whether the exam was good or bad. She couldn't help but feel uneasy. She heard Mr. Wei's clear voice sounding on her head.

"This time, all the students in the monthly exam have good and bad, and the best grades..."

But he paused his eyes and glanced at Han Qi and said,

"Han Qi should be ranked first!"

Han Qi was stunned when she heard it, and was a little suspicious that she had heard it wrong, so she asked quickly.

"Sir! What Mr. said seriously!"

Mr. Wei said with a smile,

"Of course, it's true! You have been diligent and studious since you entered school and studied hard. It's also a must for you to get a word A review!"

This month's assessment is not only the paper, but also the usual grades. Although Han Qi was a newcomer, she was naturally very satisfied with her actions.

Han Qiyi summoned her to collect her test paper. Seeing the red words "A" on it, she couldn't help but smile. Mr. Wei said,

"Today's achievements are the same as yesterday in a flash. You still need to be cautious and impatient and continue to work hard!"

Han Qi hurriedly calmed down when she heard this, lowered her head and replied,

"Yes! Follow the teachings of Mr.!"

Mr. Wei nodded with satisfaction and signaled her to sit down.

Because there is half a day off after the monthly exam, the students will not eat in the academy at noon, and after packing up early, they will go home. The monthly exam results are high and low, so naturally some people are happy and some are worried, and their faces will be different when they come out.

Han Qi left Qiushuyuan and went to Wujingyuan to find Han Xiu.

Han Xiu was also walking out. Two classmates were walking with her, about the same height as her. One had a full moon face and willow-leaved eyebrows. She looked dignified and generous, and the other had a white skin. She had a melon-seeded face. Her eyebrows and eyes were pretty good. It’s a pity that there were many brown spots on both ends of the bridge of her nose.

These two are Han Xiu's friends. The one with a round face is called Shen Furong, and the one with a spot on her face is called Zhao Lian. Both of them are small and medium-sized officials in Beijing.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Even in places like academies, where people learn the way of saints, they have to be divided into different levels. The two of them have a close relationship with Han Xiu. Knowing the situation in her family, they look down on Han Xiu, a nerdy and slutty girl who has been silly. When they see Han Qi, they just nodded slightly to say hello. Without waiting for Han Qi to return the gift, they turned to Han Xiu to say goodbye.

Han Qi knew that the two of them were unwilling to pay attention to them, but they didn't care. They still looked as usual and gave the whole ceremony. When they walked away, Han Xiu asked Han Qi,

"How about this monthly exam?"

Han Qi looked at her expression and saw that there was no joy between her eyebrows. She thought about it and replied,

"I came for the first month. When Mr. Wei saw that I was working hard, he gave me the word "A", but he said that my word "was too bad" and I should practice it well!"

Han Xiu nodded when he heard this.

"You Mr. Wei is famous for his good personality in the academy. You are encouraged by your rating. Don't be proud!"

"Um!"

Han Xiu nodded.

It was the time when the students were out of school. The two sisters were mixed up in the abortion and left the gate of the academy. They stood on the side of the stone lion and were waiting for their carriage to come to pick up people. However, a voice sounded from Han Qi's side. Someone raised his voice and called.

"Oh! Isn't that Wei Wu? Boy, come here!"
