Although Lu Tianning was able to stand up, he still had to undergo rehabilitation training every day. This was a long and painful process.

Ji's daily focus is now on Lu Tianning's rehabilitation. With her company and encouragement, Lu Tianning gritted his teeth and persevered. His daughter said that as long as he persisted, sooner or later, his legs would be able to walk normally.

Therefore, all matters related to Lu Mingxi's admission were handed over to Lu Ke'er.

When Lu Ke'er walked out of the courtyard holding Lu Mingxi, who was carrying a small schoolbag, they happened to meet Jin Feng who was also leaving the house.

Lu Ke'er and Jin Feng met face to face.

It's been a while since I last saw her. Her graceful figure and demeanor actually revealed a touch of charm that didn't belong to a young girl. Her upturned eyes and charming eyes told everyone that she was a girl who was in love.

Lu Keer sighed.

People in ancient times were really precocious.

Jin Feng's eyes darkened when she saw Lu Ke'er's increasingly beautiful and lively face, but then she thought about it again. She was about to marry Su Qizheng, who was already a student. If he passed the imperial examination, she would be his wife. And what about Lu Ke'er? Even if she got a reward, she was still a peasant girl, and she was out in the public every day. Which wealthy family would marry her? Su Qizheng said that even if there was a noble family willing to marry her, she could only be a concubine because of her family background.

When she thought of this, Jin Feng felt a sense of superiority.

She glanced at Lu Ke'er, then looked at the schoolbag Lu Mingxi was carrying, and couldn't help but sneer: "I heard that you want to send Xiaoxi to school? This book, not everyone can read it."

"Oh?" Lu Ke'er raised her eyebrows in amusement, "Who do you think can read it? Su Qizheng?"

"Of course. Brother Su is a well-known talent in the area."

"Oh..." Lu Ke'er stretched out her voice, "But I heard that he didn't even get into Yiming Academy."

"You..." Jin Feng's eyes widened with anger. "Brother Su said that he was not prepared at all that time. This time, he will definitely pass the exam."

"He also wants to take the entrance exam for Yiming Academy." Lu Ke'er was a little surprised. "He's almost seventeen. Will the academy accept someone this old?"

Jin Feng's eyebrows were raised, but there was a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

Qiu Yu suppressed her laughter and explained, "Miss, you may not know that Yiming Academy has no age limit for enrollment. As long as you are willing to study and pass the academy's assessment, you can enroll."

"There is no discrimination in education, that's right." Lu Ke'er nodded and smiled at Jin Feng, "What a coincidence, our Xiao Xi is also going to take the entrance exam for Yiming Academy today. Maybe they will become classmates."

Of course they couldn't be classmates. The academy divided the students into classes according to age and knowledge. If both of them could pass the exam, Su Qizheng was already a student, so he would definitely be assigned to the student class, and Xiaoxi would definitely be assigned to the enlightenment class. Lu Ke'er said this on purpose to annoy Jinfeng.

Sure enough, Jinfeng's pretty nose was crooked with anger.

She glared at Lu Ke'er fiercely, twisted her waist, and walked away angrily.

Looking at Jin Feng's pretentious and awkward back, Lu Ke'er asked Qiu Yu, "Did Su Qizheng take the entrance exam to Yiming Academy? Why didn't he get in?"

The original owner didn't seem to have any impression of this happening.

Yes, in the original owner's mind, Su Qizheng was good in every way. She probably hadn't heard any of the bad news.

Qiu Yu replied, "I know a little about this. It is said that it happened five years ago when Yiming Academy was just established and recruited students from the entire Xilin County. The young master of the Su family was less than twelve years old at the time and took the entrance examination for Yiming Academy. There seemed to be a question about farming at the time. Not only did Young Master Su not answer a word, he also wrote a poem that greatly disparaged farmers. After reading it, the dean of Yiming Academy criticized it on the spot: Although this boy has good literary talent, he does not work on farming, does not understand the affairs of the country, does not care about people's livelihood, and does not care about ordinary people. He will not be admitted for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ke'er immediately developed a liking for this dean of the academy whom she had never met before.

"The academy recruits people who are hardworking and ambitious, and cultivates future pillars of talent and integrity. Su Qizheng's actions clearly show his contempt for farming and ordinary farmers. From this, it is not difficult to see that he is arrogant, impure and eager for quick success. Even if he really becomes an official in the future, he will not be a good official who can truly serve the country and the people, do practical things, and be responsible and capable."

"Miss is right." Qiu Shui admired Lu Ke'er very much and felt that his young lady's knowledge was higher than that of many daughters of aristocratic families.

"With Su Qizhen's personality, how could he think of taking the exam a second time after being rejected by the academy once?" Lu Ke'er wondered.

"Miss, you don't know. It is said that the dean of Yiming Academy is from the capital. He was once the top scholar in the imperial examination, appointed as an editor in the Hanlin Academy, and taught in the Imperial Academy. But later he resigned and came to our Xilin County to open this academy. Since its opening, the academy has attracted many learned people to come and teach, and naturally attracted many students to come and study. In five years, 25 students passed the examination, 12 scholars, and 3 juren. The reputation of the academy is getting bigger and bigger. Everyone is proud to be a student of Yiming Academy. This young master of the Su family must have the same idea."

Lu Ke'er nodded secretly.

The enrollment rate of Yiming Academy seems to be very good. For such a remote small county to produce so many Tongsheng Xiucai and even Juren, it can already speak volumes about its teaching quality.

…………

Yiming Academy is located at the western foot of Jinji Mountain in Jinji Town, surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery. When Lu Ke'er and her group arrived at the gate of the academy, two long lines of people had already formed in front of the gate.

One team is composed of children of Xiaoxi's age, and the other team is composed of teenagers who are full of vigor and vitality.

Among that group of young men, Lu Ke'er caught a glimpse of Su Qizhen, and Su Qizhen also saw Lu Ke'er.

Lu Ke'er saw that Su Qizhen's originally calm expression changed like the face-changing in Sichuan Opera the moment he saw her, and she couldn't help but smile at him.

Su Qizheng's face turned even darker.

The line was very long, and during the waiting time, Xiao Xi was obviously very excited. At this moment, he was looking around curiously with his big round eyes, and chattering non-stop.

"Sister, the academy is so big."

"Well. It's okay." It can't be compared with modern schools.

"Sister, what are those two gentlemen sitting behind the table doing?"

"They are registering the information of the students who have signed up."

"Sister, what are we going to take the test on?"

"I don't know that."

"Sister, why are there so many people signing up?"

“It means everyone wants to study here.”

"Sister, why do they all want to come and study?"

Lu Ke'er did not answer directly, but asked Lu Mingxi: "Then why did Xiaoxi come to study?"

Xiao Xi blinked and answered crisply: "Reading can help you understand the truth, gain fame, and make you a superior person."

Lu Ke'er touched his little head and said with a smile: "Well, you have said the purpose of most people studying."

"Then why is sister studying?" Lu Mingxi threw the ball to her.

"Xiao Xi, you asked a good question. A girl like my sister, after studying, cannot take the imperial examination. Think about it, why does my sister want to study?"

Lu Mingxi blinked his big eyes and asked in confusion: "Why? Is it for understanding?"

"That's part of the reason." Lu Ke'er thought for a moment and replied, "In my opinion, books can go where footsteps can't reach, and books can go where eyes can't reach."

As soon as the words fell, a clear male voice sounded: "Well said."

Lu Ke'er turned her head and saw an elegant man in his twenties standing next to the team, looking at her with a smile.

"Ah, Brother Wei, why are you here?" Lu Ke'er was surprised and happy.

In Jinji Town, she met Wei Jinzhi several times. The two had a good chat. Wei Jinzhi was a learned man, and many of his views often made Lu Keer admire him. Of course, Lu Keer didn't know that in Wei Jinzhi's eyes, she was not an ordinary girl either.
