174, registration
174, registration
After July, it is the golden autumn of August.
On the first day of August, Lu Mingfei, Zhang Lingxuan, Ye Zhuoran, and their senior brother came to the Imperial College to register.
On this day, the gates of the Imperial Academy were packed with people, and the entire street was blocked by carriages and pedestrians. They all had reason to suspect that all the scholars in Dayan had come to the Imperial Academy today.
But since they were already here, it was impossible for the four of them to turn back, so they could only line up at the back of the team.
There were so many people registering that day that they had to wait in line for half a day before it was their turn to enter Taixue.
However, those who registered today can only register in this courtyard outside. They cannot walk around randomly or wander around in the Imperial College.
Lu Mingfei had never been here before, and today was his first time coming to the Imperial College and entering here. When they were at the door just now, just looking at the gate of the Imperial College, one could feel that it was different.
If he had only followed Zhao Lang's advice to enroll in the Imperial Academy, then after seeing the gate of the Imperial Academy and feeling the different atmosphere here, he had the idea of coming in to study.
Apart from waiting in line for a while, it didn't take too long to register here.
After the four people registered here, they followed the crowd out of the Imperial College.
However, just because the four of them had registered for the Imperial Academy didn't mean they could enter. They had to wait until after August 15th to take an exam at the Imperial Academy. Only after passing the exam could they enter the Imperial Academy.
In other words, their previous college entrance examination rankings can only be used as a reference.
Lu Mingfei originally thought that if he passed the entrance exam, he would be able to study at the Imperial College, but now it seems that this is not certain. If he fails the entrance exam at the Imperial College, he is afraid that he will not have the opportunity to study here.
However, this exam is an opportunity for those who failed the college entrance examination.
After the four of them walked out of the Imperial College, they heard from their eldest brother that Feng Muchun had already set off for Qinglan Academy under the arrangement of his family.
However, they were not too concerned about Feng Muchun's affairs. They were more concerned about whether the four of them could pass the Imperial College exam and go to study there together.
Ye Zhuoran was a little worried that he wouldn't pass the exam, as he was ranked last among the four people in the college entrance examination. On the way out of the Imperial College, he discussed with Lu Mingfei, "Mingfei, can we go to your house to study? I want to study with you."
They haven't studied together for a while since they took the college entrance examination.
Perhaps it should be said that after taking the college entrance examination, many of them put down their books.
In addition, the provincial examination was approaching and Kyoto Prefecture was bustling with activity. Many candidates who had finished the imperial examination were socializing with friends and having parties. Scholars gathered together to discuss poetry and prose, and had even less time to study.
However, Lu Mingfei didn't have much time to play, let alone talk about poetry and prose with others. However, he was busy with his own affairs and didn't have much free time to read. So when he heard Ye Zhuoran say this, he knew what Ye Zhuoran meant and responded, "That's fine."
"But there are too many people in my family now, and I'm afraid it will be a little noisy..." There are more and more people in their family now, and the place is small.
"Why don't you come to my house? I have space there." Ye Zhuoran suggested.
"Okay, that's fine." Lu Mingfei actually prefers to study at home, but he also knows that Ye Zhuoran wants him to take him to study together, so he didn't insist on studying at his house.
On previous occasions, it was just him, Ye Zhuoran, and Zhang Lingxuan who studied together, without their senior brother. This time, seeing their senior brother here, he asked, "Senior brother, do you want to come along? The four of us will study together, and we'll have company."
"Then I'll tell Mr. Fu later and go to Zhuoran's house to study with you." Fu Boming accepted the invitation of his junior brothers with a smile.
In the past, his family's private school was full of familiar classmates studying together, but since the county examination began, the number of students in Class A has been decreasing. After the college examination was over, he was the only one left in Class A.
Fu Boming studied at home. Although he had his father's personal guidance, he felt something was missing without close friends and classmates. Now, with a few of his friends, he has rediscovered the feeling of studying with others in the private school.
After the four of them registered at the Imperial College, they went to the teahouse run by Ye Zhuoran's family to have a cup of tea. They sat there for a while and chatted about the time and arrangements for their future studies. They agreed to go to Ye Zhuoran's house to study tomorrow.

It was already evening when Lu Mingfei returned home.
He returned just in time for dinner at home.
On this day, his father came home from outside. When the family sat together for dinner, he told his father and mother about his registration at the Imperial College today. He also mentioned that he would be studying at a classmate's house during this period. "The business of the skewers stall will be handed over to Ruyi from now on. Mother, please go and see it when you have time."
"Okay, it's important for you to study. We will take care of the household affairs. You don't have to worry about it." Liu Sanniang said.
Lu Youtian also told his son not to worry about the family business, to leave it to them, and let his son concentrate on his studies.
Lu Mingfei also wanted to stay out of this mess at home, but he had opened the skewers stall with his own hands. Now that it had been open for a while, the business was pretty good, and the next step was to attract investment. He briefly explained these things to his father and mother, and said to his father, "Dad, you may not know how to arrange this matter, so I thought about asking my adoptive father for help and asking him to negotiate with people on this business."
"Father, if you want me to be in charge of the workshop and the farm, what do you think?"
"Sure, I don't know much about business negotiations. Let's have your adoptive father come. I'll talk to him tomorrow and ask what he thinks." Lu Youtian knew he wasn't a smooth talker or someone who knew how to do business. In that respect, Lu Qingfeng was much more intelligent than him.
The father and son talked about these things for a while and reached an agreement.
Lu Mingfei looked at the three boys and Zhang Qi sitting at the same table, and said to his father and mother, "I may not have much time to teach Mingrui, Mingcong and the others in the future. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will send them to a private school. I have already informed Mr. Fu, and he said that he can just take them there."
Originally, their private school required students to pass an examination before they could enroll. However, because of his relationship, their teacher directly exempted their three children from the examination.
"As for learning martial arts, wait until they finish school in the afternoon, then send them to the escort agency to learn from the master for a while before going home." The three children in the family have been learning martial arts for a while, and Lu Mingfei doesn't want these three boys to give up halfway.
"Okay, it's time to send them to private school, so you don't have to bother teaching them." Lu Youtian had no objection to the arrangement proposed by his eldest son. On the contrary, he agreed with it very much.
Liu Sanniang was a person who listened to her husband and eldest son, so she would not say anything differently to what her eldest son said.
Zhang Qi didn't expect that the Lu family would send his younger brother to study. For a moment, he felt indescribable and touched.
Seeing Zhang Qi looking at him, Lu Mingfei also asked Zhang Qi what he meant, "Qi, do you want to work by my side? Or do you want to follow my father?"
"I want to follow you, big brother." Zhang Qi said without hesitation.
"That's fine. You can just stay with me from now on. If you don't understand anything about your studies, just come and ask me. Don't be afraid to disturb me. As long as I'm free, you can come and ask me questions about your studies anytime." Lu Mingfei did not treat Zhang Qi as a servant. He was willing to lead Zhang Qi and give Zhang Qi the opportunity to grow.
Whether he sent Zhang Xiaobao to learn martial arts and study, or was willing to take Zhang Qi with him to teach him personally, he wanted the two brothers to learn more knowledge and skills when they were young, so that they would have a skill in the future whether they stayed at home or went out.
It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him fish. Their family gave the two brothers a bite to eat just to keep them from starving. However, in order to rescue the two brothers from their predicament and change their fate, they still had to teach them some survival skills.
Hearing this, Zhang Qi excitedly stood up from the stool he was sitting on, and even pulled his brother up. He originally wanted to kowtow to the Lu family, but when he remembered that their eldest brother had said that he didn't like his kneeling and kowtowing as a way of expressing gratitude, he bowed instead, "Thank you, thank you, big brother."
"Thank you, uncle and aunt."
"Hurry up, kids!" Liu Sanniang, who was sitting nearby, pulled the two brothers up, patted the younger one's head, and said to them, "Hurry up and eat."
Zhang Qi blinked his slightly red eyes, said "hmm", and then took his brother back to his seat to eat.
It was still daylight after they finished their meal that day.
Seeing that it was still early, Lu Youtian asked his eldest son, "Why don't we go talk to your adoptive father about what you just said? We can find out what he thinks so we can make arrangements."
"Okay, let's go now." Lu Mingfei thought that he had to go to Ye Zhuoran's house to study tomorrow morning, and he was afraid that he would not have time to talk to his godfather about this matter tomorrow.
So after the father and son had their meal, they took the four kids out of the house and headed towards South Street.
