After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Chapter 165 Class B3

It was Fang Nanzhi's turn to become a disciple. Dean Zheng stood up and greeted her.

"Come here and pay your respects to the master first."

This girl can be considered his first disciple, so naturally she is different from other students.

She followed him with a confused look on her face, and when she went behind the curtain, she saw a portrait hanging on the wall. The portrait was of a white-bearded gentleman sitting under a tree, with some bamboo slips scattered at his feet.

There was a cushion underneath, and the husband pointed at it, and she knelt down obediently.

"According to this."

Mr. Zheng handed her a piece of paper, and she read it twice and memorized it.

"Student Fang Nanzhi pays homage to the master..."

It was just one page, but she memorized it in one breath without any difficulty, and she looked very calm and well-behaved.

Then I kowtowed three times as the master said, and that was it.

Back to the front, she still had to kneel on the cushion. The following process was the same as her brother's. Her brother asked her to write the name card yesterday when she had time. The format of such a letter of apprenticeship is fixed and it doesn't take a while to write it.

Fang Tong was standing behind, watching both children become apprentices. Especially his daughter, although she was young, nothing went wrong, which was worth his advice on the way.

Seeing that the apprenticeship gift had been accepted, he hurried over and took out his purse.

"Dean, this is the first month's tuition for the two children. I would like to ask, besides this, is there anything else you need to buy for the two children so that I can leave enough money."

Zheng Juren accepted the students and was in a good mood. "No need. If there's anything I need later, I'll have them go back and tell them. That's all for today. The two children can stay here."

"Okay," Fang Tong nodded, knowing that he couldn't stay any longer and disrupt their studies.

He reluctantly reached out and touched his daughter's head, still a little uncomfortable: "Listen to your master, okay? If you have anything, remember to tell Dad when you get home."

Fang Nanzhi nodded obediently and watched his father leave.

"Qin Yan, you will be studying in Class B3 starting today. The teacher for this class is surnamed Wei, and he has already arrived today."

Seeing both students looking at him, Mr. Zheng explained, "Our academy is divided into three classes: A, B, and C. Each class is further divided into three classes, and the students in each class have different academic backgrounds."

"For example, the students in Class A1 are about to take the county exam, and three students have already received the title of Tongsheng."

Out of curiosity, Fang Nanzhi asked her brother about some of the matters related to the imperial examination, and she did know a little about them.

Qin Yan understood and asked, "Then, sir, if I make rapid progress in my studies, how can I be promoted to a higher class?"

Mr. Zheng guessed that he would ask this question. He had noticed early on that although this student said that he could not pass the imperial examination, he had great ambitions.

"The academy has a major exam every three months. Classes will be reassigned based on your performance. So, you might be in Class B right now, but you'll have a chance to move to a higher class in the next exam. And if any of the students in the higher class slacks off, they might be dropped back to your class."

Qin Yan nodded, and this time he really understood.

"It's almost time. Go to the study first, then..."

"I'll take my brother there!" Fang Nanzhi volunteered, standing behind her brother's wheelchair. "I also want to see where my brother is studying, so I can go directly to him when I leave tonight!"

"Okay, then you send your brother off. Remember to come back immediately and don't go anywhere else."

Fang Nanzhi asked for directions and pushed Qin Yan out.

"Well, the gentleman mentioned this courtyard. Turn left and follow the cobblestone path until you see the corridor..."

They went to the academy twice, and basically only went there to find Dean Zheng. They had never taken a good look at the academy.

Qin Yan looked around from his wheelchair. The academy was much larger than he had imagined. They walked on a stone road with small steps surrounded by bricks and stones on both sides. On the left were flowers and plants, and on the right were trees and rockery.

"I see, the corridor."

A corridor with pillars was right in front of him. Fang Nanzhi pushed the wheelchair over and this time walked along the horizontal corridor to the end and then turned left.

"Wow……"

Before entering this door, you can already hear the sound of people talking. After entering, the houses on both sides are connected in a row. There are windows on this side, and you can see at a glance that it is a place for studying.

Qin Yan reminded her: "Zhizhi, this is Class C, we may have to move forward."

"Ah good!"

She continued to push forward, looking up at the wooden signs hanging above each house until she found "Yisan".

"This is it."

Someone caught up with them, walked past them and walked into the door, taking a curious look as they passed.

As expected, they arrived very early. There were only six people in the whole room, all reading at their own seats, each with a long and wide desk.

When Fang Nanzhi saw it, she thought that with such a nice table, her brother would definitely feel much more comfortable studying there. The table at home had been used for too long and the surface was no longer flat.

Qin Yan met the teacher's gaze on the podium and immediately bowed: "Greetings, Teacher."

Fang Nanzhi quickly came back to his senses: "Greetings, Master!"

The teacher's surname was Wei, and he was only in his early thirties. He walked down from the podium, glanced at the new student in the wheelchair, and said nothing.

The little girl behind the wheelchair came out.

"Hello, Master. I'm Fang Nanzhi, and this is my brother Qin Yan. Starting today, he will learn to read from you!"

Master Wei knew that there would be a new student in his class today. He also knew the student's name and that he had a leg disease. The other deans did not explain much.

"So she's Qin Yan's sister. Don't worry, your brother is studying here, and the teacher will naturally take care of him. You don't have to worry."

Fang Nanzhi smiled like a little sun: "Yes! Thank you, Master. Master, if my brother gets into trouble, please don't do anything. You can tell me and I will ask my father to teach my brother a lesson."

Her childish words made all the students in the school laugh. The little girl didn't care and smiled at everyone openly.

When Master Wei saw Qin Yan looking at his sister with a smile, he knew that they must have a good relationship as siblings. However, they did not have the same surname, so they must be cousins.

"Then are there any elders from your family coming? Why did you send your brother here?"

Fang Nanzhi tilted her head and said, "My father brought us here, but he's gone now. I brought my brother here, and I have to go back to school. My teacher told me to go back directly."

"gentlemen?"

"Yes, my husband is the dean here."

Master Wei was suddenly surprised. He didn't know that the dean had accepted a student, and a girl so young at that.

He didn't want to ask the little girl too much about the dean's affairs, so he could only suppress the shock in his heart.

"Okay, then you go back to study. I'll take care of your brother's situation."

Fang Nanzhi thought the teacher looked quite nice, so she waved goodbye to her brother and returned the same way.
