Gu Xue and Gu Chun left Luhua Academy and returned home.

"Mom, the academy has taken a good look at it. I will bring Cheng Lei and Qiu'er there next time if they want to take a look."

"Hey, I'm going to call your uncle and his wife, let's discuss it."

Over a cup of tea, Li Erni, Cheng Wei and Zhao Xiaoyun came over.

"Xue'er, Chun'er, I heard from your mother that the academy has been chosen? Where is it and how much does it cost?"

Gu Chun poured a glass of water, handed it to his grandma, and explained: "Well, I have chosen. The first private school is not very good, and the other one called Luhua Academy is good."

The two talked about what they saw at the first private school.

Li Erni put down her cup: "This teacher is a disaster. How young is that child? It's outrageous to be bullied like this. He's still teaching."

Cheng Wei asked again: "What are the requirements of Luhua Academy? Can our child enter?"

Gu Xue consoled him, "It should be fine. Shu Xiu is worth 6 taels of silver. I'll ask the leader to take a look at it tomorrow. If there's no problem, just hand it over to Shu Xiu and you'll be on board."

Zhao Xiaoyun: "Okay, I'll get ready tonight and follow you to the academy tomorrow."

"Auntie, please sew a schoolbag for Leilei. It's a bag for carrying books. If you put everything in it tomorrow, you should be able to go to class directly after completing the formalities tomorrow."

"Hey, aunt listens to you." Zhao Xiaoyun was very excited.

My son is going to study, and he will be a literate person in the future. No matter whether he can be admitted as a scholar or not, he will not have to be like them in this life and can only be a mud-legged person.

The next morning, when Gu Xue got up, she entered the space and rummaged through the cabinets. She remembered that when she closed the black shop before, she put in pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

She had bought them before and put them all in the space.

When she found the inkstone and brush, Cheng Ru called her to eat.

At the dinner table, she remembered again: "Mom, if you want to be a disciple when you enter the academy, what can we give you?"

Cheng Ru thought for a while: "I guess the teacher is not short of money. We have just come here. How about giving us some food."

Gu Xue thought to herself, what kind of food should be given.

In the end, it was decided that it would be better to give something from a man of letters.

There were a lot of calligraphy and paintings that she had collected in her space before, so she chose this one.

She randomly picked out two calligraphy and paintings and installed them.

A group of people got into the carriage.

Gu Qiu asked curiously: "Sister, can we enter the academy?"

Gu Xue nodded: "I'm going to go through the formalities today. Once I'm done, I should be able to go to class."

Cheng Lei's eyes were also bright, as if he was enjoying the future.

The carriage was very fast, and soon it stopped at the entrance of Luhua Academy.

The concierge boy saw someone arriving and rushed to greet him.

"How many parents are here to apply for admission?"

Cheng Wei nodded: "Yes, I want to send my children to school. I wonder if the academy has any other requirements?"

Concierge guy: "You will know when you meet the dean. Come with me and I will take you in."

After walking around the path, in a courtyard, the concierge boy stopped and motioned for them to wait.

He went inside first to announce.

Soon, the young man came out again and invited them in.

Sitting in the front hall was a man in his thirties, wearing a white robe, sipping tea leisurely.

"Please sit down, who are the students admitted?" the man asked.

Gu Chun stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "The ones enrolling are my younger brother and cousin."

The two children stepped forward and bowed according to Gu Xue's instructions: "Greetings, sir."

The man smiled: "Hello, I am the dean of the two branches of Luhua Academy in the county and town, and I am also the teacher who will teach you in the future.

Have you ever read or been literate? "

Gu Qiu and Cheng Lei shook their heads.

Gu Chun explained: "Our family is a villager who fled from the northern state capital. We have just settled in Yingzhou, and our younger brothers are not yet literate."

The dean smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, just go to the enlightenment class."

Cheng Wei gave the money to Gu Chun and poked him in the arm.

It was his first time coming to a place like this and he was a little nervous. He didn't know how to deal with someone like the dean.

Gu Chun took out 12 taels of silver and said, "I wonder what else I need to do after I handed it over to Shu Xiu?"

The dean called out the door, and soon a middle-aged man came in.

“Just go to this teacher to complete the formalities.

Oh, by the way, our academy does not require anything else, and there is no exam for admission to the enlightenment class. There is only one requirement.

Every parent is asked to do one thing for the academy, its teachers, or students, something within its power. "

The Cheng family and the Gu Xue brothers and sisters were a little surprised.

What is this requirement?

It should be to do something that will benefit the academy or the teachers and students in the academy.

After Gu Xue thought about it, she found that the dean was quite sentimental.

When everyone was stunned, Gu Xue said, "I know some medical skills, and I can treat the teachers and students in the academy once for free, when everyone needs it."

The dean looked at Gu Xue curiously, then nodded: "Great kindness!"

"Dean, why do you personally teach the enlightenment class?" Gu Xue asked, wondering.

There are only enlightenment classes in the town, which is easy to understand.

But there is definitely more than one class in the county. He is also the dean of the branch in the county. Doesn't he lead a class or teach?

The dean fanned the folding fan in his hand and raised his eyebrows: "Haha, it's true that I am the dean, but I only teach the enlightenment class. There are many teachers in the college who can teach other classes.

By the way, let me tell you in advance that because the county seat is close to the town, the branch in the town that only has enlightenment classes will be closed in the future.

Classes will start here today, and starting tomorrow, the children will go directly to Luhua Academy in the county for classes. "

Gu Xue nodded after hearing this.

In fact, in terms of geographical location, the county seat includes the town. Not only is it close to it, but according to the previous life, the town is actually more like a suburb of the county seat.

Therefore, it is entirely possible to study directly in the county academy, but setting up a special enlightenment class in the town is a bit cumbersome.

Because the distance is not much different, maybe a little further.

After receiving the hint from Gu Xue's eyes, the two children knelt down directly, kowtowed to the dean three times, and called sir.

Then Gu Qiu took out two scrolls from his backpack.

"Sir, this is the apprenticeship ceremony for my brother and I. Please accept it."

The dean was surprised after hearing this: "Oh! Let me take a look. I also have a meeting gift. Please wait a moment."

He took the two scrolls, put them on the table, and walked into the inner room.

When he came out, he held four books in his hands, including two three-character classics and two thousand-character classics.

Passed it to Gu Qiu and Cheng Lei.

The two of them thanked each other again.

The family said goodbye to the director and went to complete the formalities.

After finishing the work, the two children stayed and went into the classroom to listen to the class.

Gu Xue and his party left the academy.

Bai Lingchen, the dean, waited for Gu Xue and others to leave, then picked up the apprenticeship ceremony on the table.

Few children in the town give apprenticeship gifts, but this farmer is thoughtful.

When he opened the scroll and saw two paintings, he was shocked!
