Bai Zhi'er opened her big, shiny black eyes wide and clapped her little hands: "Then Zhi Bao is really amazing! Let me think about what I can do with it!"
She pinched her chin with her small hand, and paced back and forth a couple of times on her little feet.
Suddenly, Bai Zhi'er asked with bright eyes: "Uncle Xu Lianzhou, can I ask everyone at the academy to make food for me?"
Xu Lianzhou was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh.
He patiently explained, "Zhi'er, you are still young and do not understand the special nature of Mingyang Academy."
"Every time during the imperial examinations, Mingyang Academy has the opportunity to send some outstanding students directly into the court and the public as officials, sometimes without the need for layer upon layer of selection."
"In the past, Mingyang Academy would only send the children of high-ranking and influential families, and these people usually belonged to the same faction."
