The happiness of this life is not of life itself, but of our fear before we ascend to a higher state of life: the pain of this life is not of life itself, but of that fear that causes us to torture ourselves. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

- Franz Kafka (Austrian novelist)

The day Bai Feng returned to Baifu was February 3rd, and the registration time for the Imperial Academy was February 8th and 9th, and February 10th was the official start date of the Imperial Academy.

Bai Sa and the others, who had been practicing diligently for two years and worrying about Bai Feng for two years, could finally play happily for a few days after Bai Feng came back;

Bai Feng, who was ashamed in his heart, first took Bai Rou, Bai Han, and Bai Ling'er to go shopping for a day, and with them, there were also Yue'er and Binglan, who wanted to integrate into the Bai family, and the ingenious combination of one man and five women swept all the seven most interesting streets in the imperial capital in one day!

In fact, when he walked to the third street, Bai Feng, who was secretly complaining about his misery, regretted agreeing to allow Ling'er to go out shopping, if he really couldn't bear to spoil the interest of the five girls, maybe he would have run away and returned to Bai's house halfway.

This whole day, Bai Rou has been by Bai Feng's side, only occasionally picking out to buy some things, and the excited Ling'er and Bai Han have visited a lot of shops, but they don't really buy many things, and the five girls only spent Bai Feng less than a thousand gold coins.

For ordinary civilian families, 1,000 gold coins is a huge amount of money that they can't earn by working hard all their lives, but in terms of the consumption level of the imperial capital, there are too few things that can be purchased with just 1,000 gold coins, and on average, each person only buys one or two things.

This is what Bai Feng doesn't understand the most: why do girls waste a whole day shopping just to buy one or two things;

When he returned to Baifu in the evening, Bai Sa and the others were ready to continue the barbecue, and Bai Feng, who was smiling bitterly, had to do his best for his younger brothers and sisters.

If drinking is a way for men to cultivate affection, then shopping is a shortcut to friendship between women; after this day of shopping, the relationship between Yue'er and Binglan and Bai Rou is obviously much better.

Looking at the bragging and idle Bai Sa and Bai Kai, as well as Yue'er and Bai Rou who were chatting about today's shopping fun, Bai Feng who looked at Bai Kai and smiled was very satisfied;

In the next three days, Bai Feng took his younger brothers and sisters to three places of interest outside the imperial capital, which were said to be places of interest in ancient times, but in fact they were all artificially created 'ancient ruins' in the past hundred years.

Fortunately, Bai Feng's purpose is not to archaeology, but to have fun with his brothers and sisters for a few days, so whether these places of interest are real or fake, as long as everyone has fun, why care?

The reason why Bai Feng didn't take out the energy light ball for Bai Sa and his younger brothers and sisters was mainly because he didn't want the Bai family's performance to stand out too much, because the registration of the Imperial Academy was to test the strength of the applicants, but this was only for ordinary civilians.

In order to cultivate more outstanding talents with excellent talents, the Imperial Academy not only accepts the children of nobles from the empire and other countries, but also accepts the children of ordinary people with excellent talents for free.

Of course, this admission condition is for the children of ordinary commoners, and the children of nobles from noble families below the earl level only need to reach the junior sword master realm at the age of eighteen before they can successfully enter the Imperial Academy to study.

As for the children of the nobles of the high aristocratic families who were born in the earl and above, they entered the Imperial Academy to study as part of the imperial law, especially the descendants of the high noble families, they couldn't even enter the Imperial Academy if they wanted to, this is the law of the Empire.

Three days passed in a flash, and on the morning of February 8th, after changing into a clean white swordsman uniform, Bai Feng took his seven younger siblings to the Imperial Academy;

This is also the rule of the Imperial Academy, every year when the new students register, the students who enrolled last year must help the teachers maintain order in the academy;

Not to mention that almost all the high-ranking nobles of the empire are among the graduates of the Imperial Academy over the years, that is, the two deans and four ministers of the Imperial Academy, who are also famous figures in the empire, and even the prince does not dare to provoke them!

The location of the Imperial Academy is the east of the imperial capital, which is exactly opposite to the west where the White Mansion is located; Bai Feng and the others, who took more than half an hour to come to the gate of the Imperial Academy, thought that they had come quite early, but what they saw was the legendary sea of people.

In the dense crowd, Bai Feng and the others couldn't even see the gate of the Imperial Academy, so Bai Feng asked Bai Kai to stay on the periphery with his younger brothers and sisters first, and he himself squeezed to a gorgeously dressed young man, and asked in a loud voice, "Friend, are you here to sign up too?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Bai Feng's low-key swordsman uniform made the high-spirited young man very disdainful: "My father is Viscount Brian, if it weren't for the entrance to the Imperial Academy, would I be huddled with you civilians?"

"Viscount Brian?" Bai Feng, who had never heard of this name, had to continue to ask patiently: "Didn't you say that nobles can directly enter the Imperial Academy?

"What do you know as a commoner?" The more Bai Feng didn't understand, the more arrogant the young man who claimed to be the son of Viscount Brian became, and he pointed to an empty passage next to him and said enviously: "That's the passage that belongs to the high nobles, but it's a pity that I ......"

After figuring out the situation, Bai Feng didn't have time to waste time on a viscount's son, and after returning to the periphery where Bai Kai and the others were, Bai Feng took his younger brothers and sisters straight to the empty passage and walked into the academy under the envious eyes of others.

"Slap ......" Just when the civilians and low-ranking nobles' children in the crowded queue watched Bai Feng and the others enter the academy with envy, the nobleman's child who solved Bai Feng's confusion just now slapped himself suddenly, and he regretted that he made the people next to him stunned.

Compared to the enthusiasm on the side of the commoners and the low-ranking nobles, the passage exclusive to the high-ranking nobles was much quieter; after Bai Feng and the others registered their identities in front of a teacher in turn, an enthusiastic senior took them to the place where their strength was tested.

This senior from a low-ranking aristocratic background, his family is also a local viscount family, and the Bai family, which has been in the limelight for a while, is naturally not the same, after learning that the eight people in front of him are all children of the Bai family, he enthusiastically surrounded Bai Feng's side.

The young man from the aristocracy has no other advantages, and he is definitely much better than ordinary people, this so-called senior is the best among them, fortunately, he has indeed saved Bai Feng and others a lot of trouble, and Bai Feng will not be stingy with his gratitude.
