The Second Volume Ripples Begin Chapter 58: Brocade Zither
Now that they were both awake, neither of them could continue sleeping, so they got up to wash and go eat breakfast. At the dinner table, the two of them simultaneously ignored Night's aunt who was laughing exceptionally happily. However, when Yun Qingran was preparing to leave, she encountered a small problem - that ball was still hanging from her hair, swinging back and forth!
"Master, you're going to abandon me again!" A certain ball's voice complained in Yun Qingyan's mind.
"I'm not taking you to school with me today, it's inconvenient. I'll take you next time." The ball somehow managed to hide itself in her hair again. Normally, the ball would follow her everywhere and even sleep in her pocket. Today, she was afraid that if she wasn't careful, someone might discover the ball, so she decided not to bring it along for now.
"Master!" Ball exclaimed.
"Be good and listen." Yun said lightly, as if coaxing a child.
After signing several unequal treaties with Qiuqiu, Yun Qingran was finally able to go out, but after coming back, she had to work overtime to refine the elixir for it.
When I went out, I saw Chen Chen's car was already waiting outside. This time, both families attach great importance to the two children going to school. In their view, this is the first time for the two children to go to school, of course, they want to accompany them to school. If it wasn't for Ye Dad having to go to work and Grandma and Grandpa being older, they would probably have gone with them too.
The name of the school that the two are about to attend is Jin Se, which emerged seven years ago and is a very "noble" aristocratic school. The students at the school are either rich or noble, with tuition fees for each semester in the tens of thousands, but parents who have money are eager to send their children here because the school not only teaches cultural courses, but also offers many etiquette, art and other temperament cultivation courses and quality expansion courses that can be elected, giving hope to parents who want their children to enter high society but cannot find a way in.
When the school was first established, other schools didn't think highly of it as it attracted students with unconventional methods. However, some parents thought that since their children were still young, they could try out this school and transfer if it didn't work out. As a result, the first batch of students only had less than thirty first-graders. Unexpectedly, during the winter break's various cultural and artistic competitions, all these first-graders signed up for events they liked, which made teachers from other schools prepare to mock them. However, the results were astonishing - this group of children won prizes in competitions dominated by third-graders, with several even taking home top three spots.
When the results came out, the principal took the opportunity to heavily advertise, and in the end, there were too many students signing up, so they had to set restrictions, requiring students to pass an entrance exam and be within the recruitment scope to register. The school only temporarily accepted students from grades one to three, with different exams for each grade level. The questions on the test papers were extensive, not just limited to the school's curriculum, and scoring above a certain threshold could even exempt students from paying tuition fees. However, apart from those thirty or so students, none of the other children were able to answer many questions.
In the past seven years, the school has developed a high school program, but currently only offers first year. Jin Se adopts a student autonomy and teacher guidance management model. The school's discipline management and activity arrangements are all proposed and planned by the student union, and then submitted to teachers for review. As long as there is no dangerous or unhealthy content, teachers will not oppose it, and if you need teacher advice or help, you can also ask them.
When deciding to go to Jin Se to study, Ye Ning Xuan had already collected information about the school, including a map of the school's layout. Upon arrival at the school, everyone rushed straight to the principal's office.
"Knock knock!" Everyone stood in front of the principal's office, and Chen Chen went up to lightly tap twice.
"Please come in!" A voice full of superior air came from inside the door, and Chen Chen opened the door to lead everyone in. "Everyone please take a seat. May I ask what brings you all here?" The middle-aged man sitting behind the office desk immediately stood up and warmly invited everyone to sit down.
"Hello, Principal Huang! It's like this, these two children have a special situation. The younger one is not old enough, and the older one has never been to school before, they've both been self-studying at home. Now that they want to attend elementary school and middle school, they need to come here for a test in order to enroll." Chen Cen glanced at the nameplate on the office desk and spoke as the representative of the group.
As Chen Chen spoke, the middle-aged man's gaze turned to Yening Xuan and Yun Qingran, who were sitting quietly on one side. These two children, like shining pearls, had caught his attention from the moment they entered, not only because of their outstanding appearance but also because of their regal aura. However, in Principal Huang's gaze, apart from the surprise at seeing the two's extraordinary looks and temperament, there seemed to be something else, but Yun Qingran couldn't quite make it out.
The principal was sizing up the two of them when Yun Qingran also looked at him. His neatly combed short hair, his straight suit, no beer belly as a symbol of leadership, his face was dignified and he had an air of integrity. Just one glance, Yun Qingran's evaluation of him was not bad, just because he was the principal of such a famous school, yet still so down-to-earth and courteous to others.
"Alright." The principal nodded and went back to the desk, picked up the phone and dialed a few numbers: "Teacher Sun, would you please bring a set of primary school entrance exam papers and junior high school entrance exam papers..."
"Principal uncle, I'm going into third grade..." Yun Qingran added on the side.
The principal looked at Yun Qingran with a fixed gaze, somewhat surprised, but seeing the persistence in Yun Qingran's eyes, he turned his head and continued to say: "Let's just talk about the primary school second-grade final exam papers and junior high school entrance exam papers."
Before long, a young female teacher brought two test papers. Yun Qingran took the test papers and looked at them. As expected, they covered various aspects such as astronomy, geography, culture, and etiquette, with a deeper focus on culture. The rest were just broader in scope.
Seeing Yun's carefree appearance, Principal Huang still had some concerns. Can such a small child do it? Jin Se's usual exams only have two subjects, namely culture and quality expansion, and the final exam is all concentrated on one test paper. One test paper has a full score of 300 points, and the answer time is two hours. The school has set a passing score for dropping out, and those who fail to reach it will be dropped out. And every semester's test paper, occasionally only one or two can reach 250 points, the top ten in the school are generally around 230 points, and most of the top fifty are around 200 points.
Yun Qingran swept the test paper, almost at the same time as Ye Ningxuan picked up the pen in front of him. The sound of the pen tip scratching across the paper rang out, and under the incredulous gaze of Principal Huang and Teacher Sun, he quickly finished one question after another. The entire test paper had no multiple-choice questions, only fill-in-the-blank and essay questions.
In less than half an hour, both of them put down their pens. Principal Huang took Cloud Light's test paper as soon as they put down their pens, and with a glance, the paper was clean and neat, with bold and powerful handwriting that only a superior person could have. His eyes quickly scanned each answer, all correct, and the subjective questions at the back were so perfect that he couldn't find any flaws. Principal Huang's eyes lit up, how could someone be such a freak to get everything right on such a comprehensive test paper?
