[068] Star Pavilion is beginning to form

"Okay, the question of going to school has been settled like this. I will find a suitable school to enter you as soon as possible." Bai Xingjie was very satisfied with everyone's attitude, and then got back to the topic and started to draw lots of gang names.

In the end, only two words were written on the note that Bai Xingkong drew lots - Xingge.

Xingge evolved from Xinggang, and the word "ge" was mentioned by Bai Xinggong. She thought Xinggang was not very nice, and they mainly focus on making money, so it is more appropriate to give a commercial name.

"Wow, Xingge, Xingge, I like this name very much!"

"That's great, we will be members of Star Pavilion in the future!"

"Will the boss become the head of Xing Pavilion in the future?"

"Master Master? Hahaha, so majestic!"

The little boys were all very excited. Their ideas were simpler than Bai Xingge, but also more profound. For them, Xingge was not only a gang, but also a certification for everyone to be together!

They would not think about the future path of Xingge, nor did they consider too many ways to make money, but with Xingge, they would have the same home, or even the same direction of their efforts.

"Okay, okay, don't be excited. Xiaoyuan and I go out to find a school, and Yuanyuan is at home to look for the house."

"Okay!" Xiaoyuan and Yuanyuan replied in unison.

Because the decision to find a school was very sudden, Bai Xingge and Xiaoyuan were instantly confused after walking out of the house.

Bai Xingge looked at Xiaoyuan and asked with a little guilty conscience: "Do you know where there is a school?"

"I know!" Xiaoyuan was very familiar with the Imperial City. "There are two primary schools in Xicheng, and I have visited them."

"Then which school do you want to study?" Bai Xingjie breathed a sigh of relief. These little guys are sometimes very reliable.

Xiaoyuan thought for a while, "Master Li's school is good, he will accept all kinds of students."

Bai Xingge was speechless about this reason. Although she had never been to school, it might not be a good thing for all students to accept this, right?

"Let's go and have a look."

"good."

Master Li’s school was not far from where they lived, and it took them a quarter of an hour to walk.

"That's Master Li's school."

From the outside, the school looked just a small courtyard, and there was nothing special. There was only a simple plaque hanging above the gate with four big words written on it - Qiling School.

Bai Xingge went to knock on the door, but no one opened it for her, but the door was not locked. She gently piled up and the door opened.

After walking in, she heard a vague sound. In a school similar to ordinary people, there was a large room with about thirty students sitting in it, and a gentle man in his forties was teaching.

Bai Xingwei was a little dissatisfied when he saw this scene through the window. Although the room was not small, it seemed a little crowded after more than thirty people sitting. If it was winter, it would be fine, but in summer, it would not be too hot.

"Girl, are you?" At this moment, a frugal woman walked out of the room on the other side.

The woman glanced at Bai Xingge, then looked at Xiaoyuan, and said, "Are you here to study too?"

Bai Xing nodded, "Yes, are you?"

"Master Li is my husband." Mrs. Li said with a smile.

"Hello, Mrs. Li." Bai Xingge had a good impression of this lady. "I want to send a few children to school, but looking at you, you probably can't recruit students anymore, right?"

Mrs. Li understood what Bai Xingge meant and sighed, "There is nothing we can do about it. This is the environment here."

After saying that, Mrs. Li looked at Bai Xingge again, probably looking at her family background, and said uncertainly: "My husband is just a scholar, and usually just enlightens the children. If this child wants to take the imperial examination, he has to choose a better place."

Mrs. Li's words were a step forward for both parties. Whether Bai Xingwei disliked the bad environment here, had the ability to let the children in his family go to a better school, or had to stay here due to tuition and other issues, there was a reason to choose.

Bai Xingge didn't think so much, but she vaguely understood something from Mrs. Li's words. She might have misunderstood. The reason why there are so many people here and Xiaoyuan said that all students here may not be because they are not picky or greedy for money. The reason should be the opposite.

"What are the requirements for studying here?" Bai Xingge changed his mind to leave immediately. She felt that sometimes, the atmosphere was more important than the environment.

"One tael of silver per month, you don't need to pay more money, but you won't refund the money. If you pay one or two months, you can come and leave at any time." When Mrs. Li said this, she seemed to have a helpless feeling.

Bai Xingge thought about it and always felt something was wrong, but she didn't understand the twists and turns, so she could only ask: "Mrs. Li, are there similar rules in other schools?"

Mrs. Li asked in surprise: "Don't you know the rules of other schools? Alas, our schools are naturally different from those schools."

“How is it different?”

Seeing that Bai Xingwei looked really unclear, Mrs. Li sighed and began to explain, "My husband originally customized the rules as usual as other schools. The fee for ten taels of silver per semester is very strict. However, some students could not continue reading as they read..."

Here we have to talk about the situation in the Great Zhao State in recent years. Although several emperors were not foolish monarchs, they were helpless to gather natural disasters and man-made disasters. Outside, other countries were eyeing each other, and wars were endless; inside, there were various natural disasters, so that the people were in vain.

This means that the emperor is more wise and the court is relatively honest, so the Great Zhao State can persist until now, otherwise the Great Zhao State might have perished long ago.

But even if the court tried its best to save the people, the lives of the people were still very difficult, and some families could not even have enough food, let alone going to school.

"...My husband felt quite heartbroken when he saw this, but he was not rich at home, so he could only think of such a way." Paying tuition fees of one or one ounce naturally reduced the burden on those families.

After hearing this, Bai Xingge nodded cautiously, and at the same time he also had a new idea, "Madam Li, I want to chat with Master Li, I wonder when Master Li will have time?"

Mrs. Li looked at the sky and said, "It's less than half an hour left. If you don't rush to leave, you can wait for a moment again."

"Okay, then I'll disturb you." Bai Xingjie replied.

Mrs. Li smiled, led the two into the house, and gave them a bowl of sugar water each.
