Chapter 165 Studying still depends on talent
Early the next morning, Shen was busy baking white flour pancakes for Jiang Youzhen.
"Hurry up, it's your first day of study, you have to leave a good impression on the teacher. Since you are going to study, you must respect your teacher and respect knowledge."
In ancient times, scholars had a high status, so Shen and Jiang Fugui naturally respected scholars very much and did not dare to neglect them in the slightest.
Jiang Youzhen yawned, opened the window, and found that it was only dawn.
"Mom, it's still early!"
"What do you mean early? I still need to wash, dress, and have breakfast. Hurry up."
Shen directly stuffed the clothes into Jiang Youzhen's hands. Jiang Youzhen took a look and found that it was the newly made sandalwood-colored brocade robe with a small stand-up collar and right lapel.
The buttons on this robe are very delicately made. Erya and her friends made it according to what they saw in a book. The dark-patterned material they chose exudes a sense of low-key luxury.
Especially, the collar and cuffs were decorated with reddish-brown edging, and the waistband was the same color. After Jiang Youzhen put it on, Shen couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
"My daughter is so handsome!" Shen said as she looked Jiang Youzhen up and down. Why did she feel that her daughter was getting prettier and prettier? She had fair skin, smooth skin, and a good figure. She was pretty in every way.
"When you go out, pay attention to these things. Don't get close to others, don't play with your classmates, just study."
Jiang Youzhen nodded hurriedly, "I know, I know. But isn't this too formal? Why wear such a nice outfit?"
In the past, Shen only allowed her family members to wear clothes made of fine cotton, saying that they were too eye-catching and would make the villagers jealous and envious. Why did she let her wear silk and satin now?
"What's so grand about that? Not at all. You are a scholar now, you must dress well, otherwise your classmates will definitely laugh at you.
As Shen spoke, she took out a lilac-colored sachet embroidered with pomegranate flowers and hung it on Jiang Youzhen's waist belt.
"How beautiful is this?" She adjusted Jiang Youzhen's sleeves, looked her up and down, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Erlang! My second sister and I have finished sewing the school bag for you. Hurry up and put your books in it." Si Ya came in hurriedly and took out a brand new school bag, which they had made overnight.
"Thank you for your hard work, sister!" Jiang Youzhen quickly took it and made it very carefully. But this? Such a fresh grass green color reminded Jiang Youzhen of the conspicuous bag.
"Okay! Eat quickly! We'll be late if we don't leave now." At this time Erya walked in. Unlike Siya's happy expression, there was a flash of worry in her eyes.
Yunshang Private School is quite famous in the town. Mr. Jiang is just a scholar, but he is very serious and responsible in teaching students, so many people want to send their children to study here.
However, he does not accept all students. Clan leader Jiang Heng said that after testing them on the spot, he would generally refuse those who are too dull.
As soon as Jiang Youzhen stepped into the hospital, the system gave a prompt.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the daily sign-in task of the private school on the cloud (1/7). The host is rewarded with a book to learn and memorize skills, a bottle of special wound medicine, and a piece of rice paper ( sheets)]
Huh? Good memory?
"Tongzi? I remember you gave me the skill of reading ten lines at a glance before? What's the obvious difference between this skill and memorizing it?"
[Qiao Wen Qiang Ji is an upgraded version of reading ten lines at a glance. There are several levels of this type of memory-enhancing skills, and Qiao Wen Qiang Ji is the second level.]
So that's it! That means her memory is better now than before, but it's only slightly better than before. I wonder what the highest level of memory reward is?
"Teacher, here are the characters I practiced and the books I copied. Please have a look."
Jiang Youzhen entered Master Jiang's study and placed the things on the table respectfully. Master Jiang took a look at Jiang Youzhen's clothes and was a little surprised.
The old friend had not mentioned Jiang Youzhen's family background before, only saying that he was a young man in the clan. He thought his family was just barely well-off, but he didn't expect that he would come wearing silk and satin the next day.
He picked up the paper Jiang Youzhen had placed on the table. When he saw the first page, his eyes widened. Then he flipped through the next few pages and found that the handwriting was the same.
"Did you write this?" he asked, pointing at the words on the paper.
"It was written by a student!" Jiang Youzhen nodded.
Master Jiang glanced at Jiang Youzhen and still found it hard to believe. He was copying a book and had ready-made pens and ink, so he pointed to his desk.
"Write a few more for me."
"Yes!" Jiang Youzhen walked forward and ground the ink without saying a word. After finding it very smooth, he picked up the pen, dipped it in ink and began to copy "The Analects of Confucius" from memory.
She had mastered the small regular script now, so once she got into position, her writing movements were as smooth as flowing water. The more she wrote, the more comfortable she became, and she soon became immersed in it.
Mr. Jiang was observing her every move from the side. When he saw her like this, he couldn't help but stroke his goatee with satisfaction and nodded slightly.
He walked to the desk and took a look, and found that Jiang Youzhen was actually copying "The Analects of Confucius" from memory.
Huh? This kid said before that he had never memorized it, how come he can write it down so smoothly now? And his small regular script is really good!
Seeing that Jiang Youzhen had finished writing two paragraphs and was about to continue, he hurriedly interrupted him, after all, he had to go to the dormitory for class.
"You said yesterday that you had never studied The Analects, so how come you can recite it today?" Mr. Jiang originally wanted Jiang Youzhen to write a few words so that he could see whether the beautiful regular script was written by her.
Jiang Youzhen just remembered and said quickly: "I learned two articles by myself before, but I didn't know whether they were right or wrong. So I didn't dare to be arrogant in front of the teacher, so I didn't dare to mention it."
In fact, this was all thanks to her past life. She had memorized this book in her past life, so naturally she still had some impression of it. In addition, she roughly flipped through it last night, and with the help of the system's skill of reading ten lines at a glance, she memorized the entire book again.
Mr. Jiang's expression relaxed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
"Let's first test the books that enlightened you." Master Jiang picked up the book that had been prepared at the side and began to recite it, and he also tested you on the annotations.
Jiang Youzhen answered fluently without any pause.
Master Jiang's expression became even warmer. "Not bad! You have learned very well. I heard from your clan leader that you have only studied for three months and have made such progress. It is indeed not an exaggeration."
"Teacher, you are too kind. I believe that diligence can make up for lack of talent, so I dare not slack off at all. I will read whenever I have free time." Jiang Youzhen quickly said a few humble words.
System: I don’t believe you. Jiang Youzhen hasn’t touched a book since Tong Huaian started preparing for the exam.
"You kid! Don't be so modest. Your grandfather, the head of your family, said that you are very talented and a rare talent. And your small calligraphy does not look like that of a beginner. It looks more like that of a student who has studied for many years."
Mr. Jiang sighed, "Studying depends on talent! Some people get twice the result with half the effort, while others get half the result with twice the effort. It's so unfair."
