As long as a child sincerely wants to attend school, no matter how poor their background.
They can participate in the enrollnt event, pass the examination, and enter the academy for free.
The examination is quite simple.
There are only two requirents: a literary test and a morality test.
The literary test ans being able to write basic characters and having read a little, with an age between six to sixteen years old.
The morality test specifically refers to benevolence and moral integrity.
The examinee writes down acts of filial piety or benevolent behavior they have done, and Bai Zhi’er will find soone to verify their truthfulness.
Once it is confird that the person has a basic sense of morality, they can enroll in the school.
Both the literary and morality tests are indispensable.
Bai Zhi’er believes these two requirents are not difficult, and on the day of enrollnt, it would surely be crowded with people.
Perhaps those coming to register for the exam would directly form a long line, blocking the entire alley with people!
However, on the day of the examination.
A long table was set in front of the magnificent gates of Fengchao Mansion.
Bai Zhi’er and Mo Yanchi sat behind the table, with the little one constantly glancing toward the alley entrance.
It had been an hour since they had started preparing for enrollnt at the Wen Mansion, and surprisingly, no one had co.
Mo Yanchi calmly closed his eyes to rest, while Bai Zhi’er was utterly puzzled.
She turned her head and asked Uncle Chen, "Did you advertise the Wen Mansion enrollnt today as I asked you to?"
Uncle Chen replied respectfully, "I arranged for six shifts of people, announcing the enrollnt at every street corner around the clock, and it has been publicized for over six days."
Bai Zhi’er was even more perplexed.
If it had been advertised, why wasn’t there anyone coming?
Does no one care about the opportunity for free education?
At this mont, Qingi caught sight of a flickering shadow at the alley entrance from the corner of her eye and looked up, exclaiming, "Your Highness, soone is coming!"
Mo Yanchi unexpectedly opened his eyes.
Finally, soone was coming!
Bai Zhi’er straightened her back, her little face adopting a serious deanor, as if Mo Yanchi were the Master and she were the young teacher.
When the carriage approached from afar, a handso young gentleman alighted from it.
Round-faced and wide-eyed, with an endearing air.
Bai Zhi’er blinked her long eyelashes: "Dear Sun Sun?"
Ke Shouwang’s previously composed expression imdiately showed embarrassnt.
He cleared his throat to remind her, "Your Highness, please don’t tease ."
It was hard enough for soone to co, and Bai Zhi’er smiled with a sweet and lovely expression.
She ran over and tugged at Ke Shouwang’s sleeve, "So are you here to take the Wen Mansion exam?"
Ke Shouwang shook his head, "I’m just here for the excitent."
Then he glanced around, "But Your Highness, why is there no one here?"
Bai Zhi’er puffed out her cheeks, letting go of Ke Shouwang with so disappointnt.
"You’re not taking the exam or here to play with , you’re just here for the excitent!"
She turned back to her seat, crestfallen.
The little one swung her feet, feeling desolate, "Why is no one coming? Is it because the Wen Mansion is not doing well?"
Mo Yanchi, who had not spoken, finally couldn’t help but speak when he saw Bai Zhi’er’s pitiful expression.
"My young apprentice, the world is bustling for profit, all for the sake of gain. To the common people today, telling them the importance of studying, they won’t understand."
Bai Zhi’er looked up, her watery big eyes fluttering.
"Master, what does that an?"
Mo Yanchi smiled kindly and gently, "If you have a book that can teach you to earn a hundred taels but requires a month of study, and a fifty taels of silver is placed before you, which would you choose?"
Bai Zhi’er imdiately said, "Choose the book!"
While Ke Shouwang beside her said, "I choose the silver."
