Chapter 491: Academy Class
Leaving the main hall, Chino stayed overnight in the royal palace's reception mansion under the arrangement of the servants.
The next day, when Chino got up for breakfast in the morning, he found that the corridor leading to the conference room was still guarded by the royal guards, indicating that Percius and the archbishop had not yet come out, and that they had been talking all night without knowing what they were discussing.
Chino had used his "Divine Eyes" to peek into the meeting room, but with his current strength, he could use them for a maximum of 20 seconds a day.
Compared to the long meeting, 20 seconds was a snap of a finger, and Chino only saw Percius and the archbishop sitting face to face, and the two sides were just silent, completely unaware of what they were talking about.
But judging from Pertheus's slightly pale complexion, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.
is not in his position, he is not in his position, Chino does not bother with the extra heart, and he no longer cares about it after a casual glimpse is fruitless.
Pertheus told him to stay in the royal city yesterday, and he took this free time as a vacation.
Solandale is not here today, not at home to be exact, she is still at the age of studying, and she has already started school after the fall break ended the other day.
Speaking of going to school, Solandel did not go to the schools outside, but to the academy inside the palace that was dedicated to teaching the prince's disciples, and the lecturers were not only the university scholar Yuanwen Dogulland, but also many well-known scholars who were certified by the palace.
These scholars have the most profound knowledge, and their task is to take charge of the whip and raise the next generation of Kingdom Pillars.
Chino had nothing to do at this time, sitting alone in the garden reading a book, from morning to afternoon, but also leisurely, and remembered that since he was promoted to consul, he had not had such a long leisure time.
At dusk, the sun sets, and the cold winter breeze blows, bringing a hint of coolness.
Chino, who was reading a book, took a sip of sugar tea from his teacup, and asked casually, "Prince Andre, is there something wrong?" β
Behind Chino, I saw Andre appear at some point, and was walking slowly from the garden path, with a friendly smile on his face, he looked at Chino's back and said, "It's nothing, I just heard the guard say that you are here, and I came to see you." β
Chino closed the book and asked lightly, "Solandelle has already gone to school, don't you have to go?" β
"Haha, you're joking, I've graduated from the academy for many years, and my life as a student is a time that I can't go back to." AndrΓ© made a gesture of please, and said with a smile, "However, I still run to the academy often, and I go to pick up my sister every day." School is coming soon, do you want to go along? Solandale didn't know you were in Intracity yet, and she would be happy to see you after school. β
Chino had been idle for a day and had nothing to do, plus he had some interest in the academy where Wang Gongzi's younger brother studied, so he accepted Andrei's invitation.
The palace surrounded by the "Giant Wall of the Royal City" is very large, like a city within a city, with princes and ministers inside the giant wall and many living beings outside the giant wall.
From the garden to the Laurel Academy, the highest university in Doguland, the carriage traveled for half an hour, which shows how big the whole palace is.
The Laurel Academy is a magnificent castle built in a secluded valley with mottled stone walls that reveal the vicissitudes of time, and has stood for at least a hundred years.
In the cold season, the vegetation is withered and yellow, the sunset penetrates the dead branches and sprinkles patches of light, falling in the ancient and elegant college, the cold wind rolls up the gray-red maple leaves from time to time to dance in the air, and with the orange-red sunlight at dusk, there is a kind of beauty of mourning that all things are withering.
Andre originally graduated from Laurel Academy, plus he often came to pick up Solandelle from school, and he was known to everyone His Royal Highness the Prince, the guards were respectful to him, and they didn't check him at all, and Chino, who was traveling with him, was also released immediately after a simple inspection.
Chino has been trained as a processor since he was a child, and he has never gone to school seriously, but he has read a lot of books and movies, so he naturally understands the school atmosphere.
The recess corridors of Laurel Academy are very quiet, and occasionally scholars with glasses can be seen walking by, nodding and greeting them.
Through the porch window, you can see rows of students sitting in the classroom, the teacher teaching in front of the class, and the students listening with their ears down, recording the knowledge points just mentioned on paper.
Compared with the school in the previous life, Laurel Academy does not have too many special features, if there is any difference, it is undoubtedly the class structure and class content.
There is no age distinction between the students of Laurel Academy, and there are both older children and younger children in a class, and it is very common for 16-year-olds and 8-year-olds to study together.
The class structure is completely divided by background, the children of the royal family and the royal family, the children of the middle and upper nobles, and the children of the commoners who are sponsored because of their superior talents, have a clear identity.
As for the content of the class, the Laurel Academy cultivates elite pillars, and it can even be said to cultivate future kingdom masters, so it will not teach those grounded basics, such as handicraft basics, crop identification, etc., which are not taught here.
Scholars here mainly teach students to read esoteric ancient books, economic principles, sociology of human feelings, mystical alchemy, military theories of commanding operations, and so on.
Solandale's classroom was in the innermost hallway, and her classmates were all children of the royal family or the royal family, and Lorna was in the same class as her.
I have to say that in terms of learning atmosphere, these aristocratic classes full of princes and sons are often inferior to those poor classes of commoner children.
For the prince's son, reading is like a life of clothes and food, it is a treatment that is born with nothing precious, and many aristocratic children do not want to go to school when they are rolling around at home.
And for those ordinary children, because of their talents, they are fortunate to be sponsored by nobles to enter the highest institution of learning in the kingdom, Laurel Academy, this is absolutely impossible to encounter a second chance in this life, they will do their best to grasp it firmly, and strive to one day rise to the top, change the fate of themselves and their families.
Therefore, the discipline of the poor class is excellent, the civilian children are sitting upright, with serious expressions, except for the teacher's lecture in the classroom, the only thing left is the sound of paper and pen rubbing, and no noise can be heard, and the silence will be broken by a slight focus on the footsteps.
These children will seize every minute and every second on their own, and do their best to acquire knowledge that other civilian children cannot obtain, and they will not be willing to get distracted for a second.
The aristocratic class is different, such as Solandelle's class, she herself is very focused on the class, but the other 80% of the students are very lazy, some are whispering, some are looking at the scenery outside the window, and some are counting the countdown to the end of class, thinking about going home in the evening and letting the servants cook something delicious.
For Wang Gongzi's son, it doesn't matter how much knowledge he learns, or even whether he reads or not, the family status is there, although he doesn't say what official he chooses when he grows up, but he has wealth and connections, and he can eat anything.
