After farming, I opened a family tree

Chapter 231 School Registration

"Why would this girl need to study?"

I don’t know who said this in the crowd, but more voices suddenly appeared in the scene.

"That's right, what's the point of a girl studying? She's going to get married anyway!"

"That's right. This girl should learn some farm work at home so that she can find a good husband in the future."

"That's right, my daughter doesn't go to school, she has to help me with things at home!"

......

Everyone was talking about it, and almost everyone agreed that girls shouldn't go to school.

"Hey guys, why don't you free up some spots for girls so you can take in more male students!"

Some people even made suggestions.

After saying this, Shen Tang and the others all looked unhappy.

Shen Tang looked at these people's remarks and suddenly felt that it was a very difficult task to let girls from ordinary families go to school.

"Women can come to the school to study for free and can even have lunch there."

Shen Tang changed his mind and changed the free lunch provided by the school to one that only girls could enjoy.

"Why is this only for girls? This school is terrible. I won't let my son come!"

Some in the crowd were dissatisfied.

How can a girl be as valuable as a boy? This school actually values ​​girls more than boys. I don’t think it’s a good school. It’s better not to go.

After someone started this, some families that could still make ends meet were indeed shaken.

However, there were also a few families with many daughters who were interested.

There are many daughters in this family. Although they are given less food, there are still too many of them.

If they were sent to school, they would have enough food for one meal. If they were allowed to eat more in school, they would not starve to death even if they only had one meal a day.

"My daughter is willing to come to study! I have five daughters and one son in my family, and they all want to come to school!"

"Our daughter too!"

It has to be said that Shen Tang's words really worked. Now the people in front of the stall all want their daughters to come and study with them.

"Today, the school is only here to promote enrollment. The promotion will last for three days. After three days, we will hold a unified registration at the South City Hope School. If you really want to study here, you can bring your children to the school in person."

"I hope the school won't charge tuition or fees, but that doesn't mean you can just come and study. There are exams every month. Students who don't study hard and waste their time will not be eligible to stay in the school!"

Shen Tang looked at the crowded crowd around him and found that some people began to look anxious.

"But for those students who excel in the assessment, the academy will give out rewards: 500 wen for the first place, 400 wen for the second place, 300 wen for the third place, and 100 wen each for the remaining top ten. Women will also be included in the assessment."

Shen Tang's voice was very loud and everyone around could hear it clearly.

Those who were originally dissatisfied with the admission of girls immediately squeezed forward.

"We want to sign up. My son has been smart since he was young and he will definitely do well in school."

"I want it too, I want it too!"

......

Seeing the puzzled looks of Qiu Zhixue and the others, Shen Tang walked over to them and explained.

"If I say we're going to provide free food to all students, there will definitely be a lot of students in the school this year, and we simply can't accommodate them all. Besides, if we don't mention free meals for women, I'm sure not many people would be willing to send women to study here.

The people are simply unwilling to allow girls to go to school. Unless they are offered something that makes it seem more cost-effective than for boys, they will not agree.”

That's why she said women could enjoy free lunch, and the original plan to reward women for performing better than men was changed to a unified assessment.

She wanted to see whether the girls who studied with her were really inferior to the boys.

In just one morning, the news that the Hope School outside the south gate of the capital was offering free admissions spread throughout the entire South City District.

"Tomorrow, just leave two people at the stall. We're going to the school gate tomorrow."

I believe that there will be many families bringing their children to the school tomorrow, and only two people will be left at the enrollment booth to answer questions.

The next day, at dawn, many families were already waiting outside the school.

It was a very cold early spring day. When Master Lu opened the door of the school, he saw many children gathered in groups of families and lined up in a long queue outside the school.

"The door is open, the school door is open."

A child exclaimed.

"Master, these are our children. The eldest is called Ah Fu, the second is called Ah Gui..."

"Master, this is my son..."

Everyone immediately rushed to introduce their children.

"Everyone, please be patient. I'll go get someone to register with you."

The servants helped place the desk in front of the school entrance.

Just as he had set up the desk and prepared the four treasures of the study, the carriage of Shen Tang and his companions arrived.

The people looked at the tall and exquisite carriage and made way for it.

It is obvious that he is not an ordinary nobleman.

I felt a little more at ease with the school.

"Queue up in an orderly manner and avoid crowding. If you are found causing trouble, the school will not admit you."

Seeing that some people started to push each other secretly, Shen Tang spoke.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the place became much quieter.

Shen Tang looked around and found that there were indeed girls in the team, and he felt a little happy.

It's always a good thing when someone sends a girl, no matter what the reason is.

She hopes that these girls sent here will not disappoint her. Even if only one girl can realize and take action on her own, it will not be in vain for her to run the school.

"Zhang Dahu, ten years old this year, Zhang Erhu, eight years old this year, live in Yangcaica Alley, West Sixth Street, south of the city..."

"Fang Chengcai, nine years old this year, lives on East Third Street in the south city..."

......

The people came forward in an orderly and quiet manner, bringing their children and reporting their names and ages.

"Li Dahua, thirteen years old this year, Li Erhua, eleven years old this year, Li Sanhua, ten years old this year, Li Sihua, eight years old this year, Li Xiaohua, seven years old this year, living in..."

Lu Xiucai looked at the woman in front of him who was looking at him with a smile on her face, and there were five girls surrounding her.

I was stunned for a moment.

"Sir, these are my five daughters who are willing to come to school to study."

As she spoke, the woman pushed two of the older ones.

Perhaps because they were being stared at, the two older girls felt shy and lowered their heads, not daring to look at anyone.

"Oh, she has five girls at home?"

"Tsk, he must have heard that girls can have lunch, so he sent it here."

"It's okay, it's okay. Didn't the gentlemen tell you that the academy has assessments? If you don't pass, you go home. The food delivered here will only last a month at most before being sent back."

......

Behind the woman, others were whispering.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Xiucai start to write his name.

This school does accept female students.

Who cares whether he can pass the exam or not? Let’s eat it this month and see.

Although the woman thought so, she did not say it out loud.
