Mom takes her baby to travel through ancient times? Farming and business are both important

It is Ruibao's test question.

Although there were no scores or right or wrong marks like in modern times, it was obvious that the teacher must have been quite satisfied.

As for why, of course it’s because it’s clean and there are no other unnecessary comments, modifications or smudges.

Bai Zhizhi had just secretly seen that the other test questions on the teacher's desk had a lot of content changed.

"Master, what does this mean?"

Bai Zhizhi didn't quite understand what her future teacher meant by this, so she could only ask humbly.

Wang Qi said calmly, "This question was part of the recent academy assessment. Zhou Rui answered it very well, even very well. He is a rare and gifted child."

Bai Zhizhi understood this sentence. It was a compliment to her son for his good academic performance!

"Master, you are so kind. The academy still teaches well."

Wang Qi didn't care about her attitude. He had seen many parents of students like this and didn't find it strange. He just continued speaking.

"I called you here today just to ask what Madam Zhou thinks about Zhou Rui's future."

"Master, what do you mean?" Bai Zhizhi looked at the master in confusion.

Why does he always speak in a roundabout way? Why can't he speak directly like modern teachers? She doesn't want to guess!

Wang Qi sighed softly and made his words clearer, "Madam Zhou, do you want Zhou Rui to just learn a few simple words, or do you want him to take the imperial examination?"

The difference between the two is huge, and the academy does not want to let go of a good seedling easily.

After hearing what the teacher said so clearly, Bai Zhizhi naturally understood.

She had never thought about this question before, but now that she was suddenly asked, she started to think about it unconsciously.

If he just learned to recognize simple words, he would probably be able to work as an accountant after he finished school. Although she didn't know much about the situation of a cashier, she could probably guess that it was just working hard for a month and only earning a few taels of silver in the end.

Bai Zhizhi felt distressed whenever she thought of her son busy with accounting until late at night every day, and only able to bring back a few taels of silver in the end.

If this is the case, it would be better to let your son take the imperial examination.

Although the path to the imperial examination was more difficult, scholars who took it were highly respected in that era.

In this way, even if he doesn't become an official in the future, he can just pass the imperial examination and become a juren or a scholar. By then, he will have a reputation and even if his son wants to do something in this world, he will have a guarantee.

After figuring out the key, Bai Zhizhi immediately said firmly, "I want Ruibao to take the path of the imperial examination."

"The path to the imperial examination is very difficult. You might spend a lot of money and energy, but in the end you won't gain anything. If you choose this path, there's no turning back. Has Madam Zhou really made the right choice?"

Wang Qi asked again seriously. Zhou Rui was a gifted child, and he didn't want his parents to make a hasty decision that would ruin his life.

Bai Zhizhi nodded more seriously, "I've really thought it through. Master, you also said that Ruibao has talent, so let him try. Even if nothing works out in the end, it's still his path."

Wang Qi looked at the serious look of the woman in front of him and felt very happy. He nodded seriously.

"Mrs. Zhou is a very decisive person, and you are also very far-sighted. Don't worry, as long as Zhou Rui is willing to learn, the academy will deepen his teachings."

"Thank you, Master. I believe in the academy. I will trouble you from now on."

Bai Zhizhi bowed again seriously.

Wang Qi put away the test papers on the table, rummaged through the drawer, and took out a piece of paper.

"Since you've decided to take the imperial examination, you naturally need to prepare now. Madam Zhou, if you have time, it would be best if you could buy all these books. They'll be needed for the county exam."

Bai Zhizhi carefully read the list of books. There were some books she had heard of, but there were also some she had not heard of.

Since the teacher has said so, I must buy it. I will go to the bookstore later.

The two chatted for a few more words about Ruibao's situation, and then Bai Zhizhi took her leave.

After leaving the academy, she immediately walked towards the bookstore.
