Doing the math, it has been almost half a year since Qiao Junlin came to Chang'an City.
When he first arrived here, Hou Lin let him study at home first, and gave him some pointers when he had time.
When he was almost done reading, , and asked him to take the exams in four subjects.
At this time, Chang'an City was still dominated by official schools.
The main schools were: Hongwen Museum, Guozixue, Taixue, Four Schools, Calligraphy, Arithmetic, and Legal Studies.
At present, there is only one library of Six Studies, and in a few years there will be a Chongwen Museum.
Together, they are called two libraries of Six Studies.
In the next two to three hundred years, the official schools in Chang'an City will basically be these. .
Private education was still rare in the early Tang Dynasty, and I think it will gradually develop in the future.
In addition, many big families also have family schools.
Most of these families start enlightening their children early.
When they are a little older, some are sent to continue their studies with famous teachers, and some are sent to official schools to go through it again and make new friends by the way.
Some of the current young talents are those who directly join the officialdom, and of course there are also those who are unlearned and unskilled and wander around.
With Qiao Junlin's background, there is no need to think about a place like Hongwen Hall, which is a place dedicated to studying for the descendants of the royal family.
For example, Hou Lin got a position as a school book in Hongwen Hall, which is also classy and has a big face.
At this point, you can also regard yourself as an official of the imperial court.
Except for Hongwen Hall, among the other six schools, Guozixue and Taixue also have higher requirements for family background.
The level of the Four Schools is slightly lower.
As long as they are officials with good grades, they can directly send their sons to study in the Four Schools.
In addition, children from ordinary families in the city can also pass exams to enter the four schools.
Qiao Junlin is not Hou Lin's son, but his nephew.
He wants to enter these four schools, but he has a little trouble.
Hou Lin asked him to take the exam first.
If he failed, he would think of ways to find someone then, and it shouldn't be a big problem.
As for the other three schools in the city, they are not within the scope of Hou Lin's consideration.
The three schools of calligraphy, arithmetic, and law are very professional.
In the eyes of many scholars nowadays, these schools are not as good as the previous ones.
The difference between schools is like the difference between full-time general colleges and universities and technical schools.
Hou Lin wants Qiao Junlin to pursue an official career, and doesn't want him to just be an unknown clerk in a small department in the future.
A good choice is to study the four subjects.
Qiao Junlin was lucky enough to pass the exam.
He successfully entered four subjects and began his study life in Chang'an City.
The content taught in their school is also relatively comprehensive.
The so-called six arts of a gentleman are just knowing a few words and memorizing a few books, which is far from enough.
The school offers a variety of courses.
Qiao Junlin is good at reading and even better at martial arts.
He can ride a horse and draw a bow.
However, he is a little behind in poetry and art.
For him, the Book of Changes is a mountain that can never be climbed.
But even so, Qiao Junlin takes every subject equally seriously.
If it weren't for his uncle's guidance and care, he would still be living in Lishi County right now.
He would have to worry about his stepmother's plans every day.
Such a bright future now.
Yes, in the eyes of Qiao Junlin at this time, his future is very bright.
Although the road is tortuous and long, he believes that as long as he has determination and perseverance, and endures hardships, he will one day be able to stand out.

Hou Lin told him that communication was very important when walking in Chang'an City, and asked him not to just focus on studying, but also to pay attention to accumulating connections.
Qiao Junlin followed his uncle's advice and implemented it meticulously.
He was kind to others and friendly to his classmates.
His classmates were all young people in their teens and twenties, and everyone quickly got to play together.
Not long ago, Ma's Trading Company sent Qiao Junlin a Yan'er Feifei, which made him quite popular in school.
Some students also borrowed his car and asked craftsmen to imitate it.
Suddenly, Qiao Junlin, a country boy, seemed to be somewhat popular, and there were more people who were willing to be friends with him, unlike before where there were only three or two kittens.
In the past two days, Ma's Trading Company has brought out another kind of fermented bean curd that is said to smell extremely stinky and taste strangely fragrant.
Many people went to buy it to try it out.
Some students in the four majors had not tasted the stinky fermented bean curd and were very curious, so someone thought of Qiao Junlin.
"Qiao Da, don't you have some dealings with Ma's Trading Company?
Can you help us get some stinky fermented bean curd to try?"
"Yeah, I, Aye, went to ask yesterday, and they said they were sold out."
"Dalang, please help us to ask.
I guess that Ma's Trading Company must still have some inventory, but they just refuse to sell it."
A group of young people gathered around Qiao Junlin, talking to each other in a lively manner.
"Junlin, Ma's Trading Company sent stinky fermented bean curd to your house this time."
At this time, an older student in his early twenties asked Qiao Junlin.
"That's not true."
Qiao Junlin had not yet learned to lie at this time.
When others asked, he just said: "But when my uncle and others went to buy socks, they brought back a can."
"really" "Do you have any left at home?"
"Qiao Da, don't hide it anymore.
Let's try it quickly."
"In this case, we will rely on Dalang Qiao."
"Ha ha ha ha" A group of young people in their teens and twenties started making a fuss.
It was really lively.
Qiao Junlin used to be an optimistic boy.
Although he has seen some changes in people and gone through some hardships in the past few years, he is still just a teenager after all.
Lang, after living in the academy for a while, people gradually became more cheerful.
Although I was still a little bit reluctant to be disturbed by these people, I also promised to share my jar of stinky fermented bean curd with them.
Previously, Luo used the jar of stinky fermented bean curd given to him.
Hou Lin didn't like to eat it, so he ate it alone.
He was not willing to eat too fast.
Sometimes when he was tired from studying, he would take some from the jar.
Take out the broken pieces and taste them.
What's left now are basically large pieces.
This was one of the reasons why he could agree to his classmates.
If it was all nonsense, it would feel a bit shameful.
If you think about it carefully, you will find that this child actually feels a little inferior when facing these natives of Chang'an.
If he were like Du Xi, it doesn't matter if he is broken or not, just take it out and give it to you to try it.
It’s very honorable.
On the day of rest, Qiao Junlin led a group of his classmates to his home.
A group of young people crowded into Qiao Junlin's study and asked him to take out the stinky fermented bean curd.
Qiao Junlin first took down the jar of stinky bean curd from the shelf, and then went to the kitchen to get the chopsticks.

Azhi recently found a job in the city.
He hasn't come back yet, and Hou Lin is not at home either.
He probably went out with his friends to socialize and drink.
Hou Lin actually doesn't like these things, but he is in Jianghu.
In spite of himself, if he goes out less, he will be out of touch with society soon.
Qiao Junlin took a few pairs of chopsticks and was about to enter the study happily, when he heard someone in the room say: "Does this smell right?
It must have been broken."
"Shh, keep your voice down," another person said.
"Hey, let me tell you, doesn't that guy Qiao Junlin have some friendship with Ma's Trading Company?
I thought he should at least come from a well-off family.
Why does he live in such a small courtyard?"
"Maybe it's still rented."
"It must be true.
Didn't you hear what he said?
His uncle just got an official position last year."
"Tsk, I made a mistake."
"Say less and be careful not to be overheard by him."
"Liao Qi, tell me, should we brothers eat this or not?"
"You've already come, why don't you just leave like this and hold your nose and eat a little."
"I don't know who made this thing.
It tastes really weird."
"It doesn't matter if people from the countryside eat weird food.
I heard that people in some places even eat cockroaches."
"Hey" Qiao Junlin was standing outside the door at this time, looking down at the pairs of bamboo chopsticks in his hands, feeling that he was really stupid to the extreme.
If this matter had happened a year or two ago, he would definitely have fallen out with these people.
Whether it was a fight or a scolding, he was not afraid of one against another.
It's just that now, after all, it's a little different.
He lowered his eyelids to hide the trace of disgust in his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, made some noise outside the door, then opened the door and went in, smiling: "But we're in a hurry."
At this time, Qiao Junlin thought that as long as he learned to be patient, he would be able to get along with these people.
He had never thought carefully about whether the disgust that surged in his heart just now was due to the people in front of him, or to himself.
After this incident, Qiao Junlin continued to study and live as usual, but he spent more time on schoolwork and became more energetic in reading.
After all, he was still a little impatient with the communication and management methods Hou Lin talked about.
This young man hoped to shine with absolute strength through his own efforts, rather than gain status in this society through hypocrisy and coercion.
Luo Yong didn't know these things.
The reason why he gave those things to Qiao Junlin was, firstly, because he had a good impression of the young man, and secondly, it was naturally for investment.
How could he have imagined that the little thing he sent could cause such a big disturbance in Qiao Junlin's life, although those things were also a reality that he would have to see clearly sooner or later. gd1806102:
