He was worried that Lin Xiaoyue’s family would not be willing to spend money to let Xiao Qing go to the academy.
“Thank you, master! I’ll hand them over to the academy!” Hearing Master Li’s words, Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.
She bowed twice to Master Li.
Then, she listened to his instructions and left with the two children.
After leaving the academy, Lin Xiaoyue took the two children to the registration office.
Lin Xiaozhi was too young and could not apply for accommodation. He had to go home every day.
This wasn’t a problem. Lin Xiaoyue would be sending cold cakes to and from town every day, so she could pick up Lin Xiaozhi.
As for Xiao Qing, he could choose to live in the academy.
However, when he found out that the accommodation fee for a season was 3 taels of silver, Xiao Qing didn’t want to stay anymore.
“I’ll go home too and be with Xiaozhi,” Xiao Qing said.
The house was lively and spacious, much better than the academy.
Moreover, Daishi Village wasn’t far away, so it wouldn’t take too long to go back and forth.
Suddenly, he heard someone calling him.
The three of them turned around and saw Li Huaiyu.
“Huaiyu!” Lin Xiaoyue called out to him.
“Brother Huaiyu!” Lin Xiaozhi also called out sweetly.
“Ah! Xiaozhi!”
Li Huaiyu was in a good mood. After walking over, he touched Lin Xiaozhi’s head.
“How is it? Arc you all done?” Li Huaiyu asked.
He glanced at the registration counter and then at the scholar’s robe in Lin Xiaoyue’s hand.
“Xiaozhi is done. But Qing’er…” Lin Xiaoyue looked at Xiao Qing.
How’s the accommodation in the academy like? ” Lin Xiaoyue asked Li Huaiyu.
The academy stipulated that only students above the age of seven were allowed to live in the academy.
Most scholars from Daishi Village didn’t seem to go home.
Li Huaiyu also lived in the academy, so she could ask him about it.
Qing’er’s health was not good. Besides, he had family to take care of him at home. The food and accommodation were better than that at the academy. However, Master Li said that Qing’er had high potential to participate in the county examination early next year.
The county examination was probably more important to scholars than the middle school examination of the 21st century. Well…perhaps it was more comparable to the college entrance examination?
Eh, anyway it was important.
In that case, would it be better to stay at the academy?
There were only three months left until county examination in February next year.
“The living conditions are acceptable. One of my roommates just happened to be absent this season. I’m here to ask Xiao Qing something.”
“Xiao Qing, are you in Class A?” Li Huaiyu asked Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing nodded.
Just as he was about to say that he didn’t want to stay in the academy, Li Huaiyu smiled.
“I knew you would succeed! Roommates must be students of the same class. You came at the right time!”
Xiao Qing looked troubled as he looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
“Well, Qing’er doesn’t want to stay at the academy,” Lin Xiaoyue said to Li Huaiyu in embarrassment.
Li Huaiyu paused.
Then, he looked at Xiao Qing.
“Why not? It’s more convenient this way!”
“Class 3A will take part in the academy’s examination next year. We can only take part in the county examination after we pass.”
“If you live in the academy, you can discuss homework with your classmates and have more opportunities to consult the master.” Li Huaiyu said earnestly..
