Chapter 836 The struggle for academic supremacy at Ning Mansion Girls’ School
No one expected that there would be a scene where two great students would compete for supremacy in the Ning Mansion Girls' School.
Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai competed in knowledge, and all the talented students from the female school were involved.
For example, Miharu is a talented student with talents in certain aspects.
Their attainments in elementary education and the Four Books and Five Classics can only be said to be quite average. Their progress is faster than that of ordinary elementary school children, but they are not that amazing and talented.
But each of them is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and their learning progress is no worse than that of Lin Daiyu, the god of learning.
In The Story of Red Mansions, Sanchun just figured it out on his own and came up with some tricks, which is quite impressive.
Naturally, the Ning Mansion Girls' School will not turn a blind eye to their talents.
Based on the talents shown by Miharu, they naturally strengthened the learning of their talents, and the progress was incredibly fast.
Among the young ladies of the same age who are placed in the noble circle, their knowledge and talents are definitely the best choices.
It's a pity that two academic gods appeared in the female students at once, making it difficult for them to breathe.
What's even more exaggerated is that the two academic gods competed fiercely and studied very hard.
Sanchun was also unwilling to be second to others, or in other words, she was very ambitious, so she naturally refused to lag behind others, and consciously or unconsciously joined the learning competition.
Different from the original work of Red Mansions, Sanchun has the spirit of a public servant and will definitely not be willing to fall behind Xue Baochai, who was born in a merchant family.
In the story of Red Mansions, Mrs. Wang deliberately asked Sanchun to carry Xue Baochai's sedan chair.
Sanchun was forced to be a stepping stone to highlight Xue Baochai's impressive identity and status, which is a big joke.
The status and reputation of the dignified young lady from the public house in the government are actually not as good as that of a girl from a merchant background who lives in the house.
I don’t know what Mrs. Wang was thinking, and what she did was not as magnanimous as a mistress of a princess’ palace.
Of course, such a thing is not happening right now.
At most, when the Xue family entered Rong Mansion, Yingchun and Tanchun were forcefully pulled by Mrs. Wang to greet them once, but that was all.
During the day, Miharu basically goes to the girls' school.
That is to say, between the time after school ends in the evening and when they have dinner and go to bed, Yingchun and Tanchun would gather in front of Jia Mu and have fun, and they did not have much interaction with Xue Baochai at all.
It is impossible for the old lady to let Xue Baochai act like a monster in the Rongqing Hall and suppress a pair of granddaughters in the mansion.
Mrs. Wang was not so courageous and did not privately encourage the family members in the family to support Xue Baochai.
In The Story of the Red Chamber, the reason why Xue Baochai's popularity quickly overshadowed Sanchun's was naturally due to the help of rumors from the children of the Rong family.
But right now, this is not possible.
If such rumors continue to spread, Ningfu Girls' School will intervene.
Just kidding, even if the outstanding person in the female school is not as good as Xue Baochai, he must be defeated by him in an open and honest manner, instead of using rumors to rise to the top.
Fortunately, Xue Baochai was not that unwise, and did not dare to make too many mistakes before she understood the details of Ning Mansion Girls' School.
As a comparison, Lin Daiyu, who did not lose her parents and was living under the influence of others, behaved much more normally than in The Story of the Red Chamber.
Not to mention anything else, at least the furnishings in the living room are not bad, and the clothes and accessories they wear are also quite good, which makes the children of the Rongfu family intuitively feel the wealth of the Xue family.
When she transferred to Ningfu Girls' School, Xue Baochai, who had always been proud and arrogant, also felt a lot of pressure.
She was already eleven years old at this time. She had been carefully trained by Father Xue since she was a child. She had read quite a lot of books, but the most important thing was that she could remember almost all of them.
Apart from anything else, in terms of breadth of knowledge, she is the most powerful among the students at Ningfu Female School.
But Sanchun is not a vegetarian either. He is much better than Xue Baochai in some aspects such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
According to modern popular saying, professional and top amateur players are the same.
As for Lin Saiyu, her progress in learning the orthodox Four Books and Five Classics, as well as history, is better than that of Xue Baochai.
This surprise is no small matter!
Xue Baochai never expected that Ningfu Girls' School would be a place where dragons and tigers are hidden.
You must know that when he was in Jinling, Xue Baochai's knowledge was definitely the most outstanding among the officials, wealthy ladies.
Even ladies from aristocratic families who are older than her are far inferior in terms of knowledge.
She was quite confident in her talent, but who would have expected that in the small Ning Mansion Girls' School, many classmates would appear that surprised her.
She regarded Lin Daiyu as her biggest competitor, and Sanchun should not be underestimated. Even Shi Xiangyun's eagerness surprised her.
Not to mention, Qin Keqing's appearance and temperament are comparable to those of the fairy concubine.
Seeing so many outstanding classmates at once, coupled with the problem of study progress, Xue Baochai's arrogance quickly dissipated and she integrated into the learning atmosphere of the women's school.
She even had some feelings of inferiority at one point.
Looking at the backgrounds of the classmates, Lin Daiyu is the legitimate daughter of a second-grade feudal official.
Xichun is the legitimate daughter of Master Jing, a cultivator in Ning Mansion.
Yingchun and Tanchun, one is the concubine of the eldest wife of Rong Mansion, and the other is the concubine of the second wife of Rong Mansion. Their statuses are not bad either.
As for Shi Xiangyun, she is the daughter of the Hou family. Although both her parents are dead, who dares to say that she is not the eldest daughter?
As for the other classmates, although their qualifications are mediocre and their families are not considered powerful, they all belong to the Jia clan in the capital and are much more established and popular than Xue Baochai.
Originally, she wanted to get to know a group of noble girls from Ning Rong and the Second House, so as to pave the way for the future.
Who knew that just studying for the competition would take up most of her energy, and she would have no spare time to worry about other things.
What surprised her even more was that a small girl's school in the Ning Mansion had collected more books than the Xue family, and some of the books were precious classics that the Xue family could hardly obtain, which made her a little dazzled for a while.
After all, she was not very old. She was influenced by the environment and entered a learning state, and she did not notice the rapid passage of time at all.
After a short period of study, Xue Baochai had a very clear feeling, and his speed of progress was quite obvious.
Coupled with the constant competition between Lin Daiyu and Sanchun, Xue Baochai's competitive spirit was aroused and he focused on his studies.
Although Aunt Xue felt something was wrong, seeing that Xue Baochai was so diligent and hardworking, she didn't say anything more and instead provided logistical support.
At the same time, Xue Baochai often used Xue Baochai's hard work to beat his own unsatisfactory son.
Speaking of Xue Pan's experience in clan studies, it can only be described as horrific.
On the first day I went to ethnic studies, because of being late and misbehaving, my teacher punished me by running fifteen laps of the playground, and I almost died...
