Chapter 273 - 273: The Children had Potential
Lin Xiaoyue was delighted. She was going to ask Xiao Qing to thank the master, but Xiao Qing had already done so.
“Thank you, Master Li.”
“Alright! Take this badge and report to the registration office. Prepare to enroll,” Master Li said as he handed a wooden badge to Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing quickly took it and thanked him again.
Then, he stood to the side and looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoyue held Lin Xiaozhi’s hand and walked to Master Li.
Master Li lowered his head and looked at the little boy that Lin Xiaoyue was holding.
At this moment, he looked nervous and was looking at him worriedly.
“Haha,” Master Li smiled.
Then, he touched his beard again.
“Not bad. Although your brother hasn’t officially started, he has the basic knowledge,” Master Li looked at Xiao Qing.
“You taught him?” I le asked.
Xiao Qing’s face was slightly red as she bowed.
“Yes.”
Master Li nodded in satisfaction.
“Not bad. He can enter Class A.”
As he spoke, he took out a wooden badge from the table.
He handed it to Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue’s face lit up and she quickly caught it with both hands.
“Hey, thank you, Master Li!” She bowed and thanked him.
Master Li stroked his beard, very satisfied with Lin Xiaoyue’s performance.
“These two children have potential. If you nurture them well, they will have a chance to take the imperial examination in the future.”
This was a very high level of affirmation.
After all, not all the children who came to the academy could take the imperial examination.
Some people sent their children to the academy just to let them learn how to read and write.
They would not let them further their studies. After all, it would cost a lot of money.
There were some who were willing to spend money on their children. They wanted their children to take the imperial examination and bring glory to the family in the future.
However, the imperial examination was difficult. If a student’s aptitude was not high, they might not even be able to pass it after a few years. In fact, they might not even be able to take the examination.
That’s right, the number of students participating in the county examination was limited.
The number of places was proportional to the number of people who passed the county and capital examinations from the previous year.
Qingyun Academy had the most spots from Qingshi Town. Furthermore, it was one of the top academis in the entire Nan’an County.
Master Li was very satisfied with Xiao Qing and Lin Xiaozhi.
Xiao Qing was quite knowledgeable.
Next year, he would pass the county and provincial examinations, and the chances of him passing would be very high.
If he passed, he would be able to fight for more places for the academy next year.
As for Lin Xiaozhi, he was also not bad.
He was still young. If he studied for a few more years, he would be able to participate in the county examination in the future.
He said this to Lin Xiaoyue after careful consideration.
He hoped that Lin Xiaoyue would have confidence in them and that the family would support them in their studies.
When he heard Xiao Qing call Lin Xiaoyue “aunt”, he guessed that Xiao Qing was an orphan..
