Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When they were about to reach the prefecture capital, Little Ah Yu said excitedly, “Grandma, I want to write a letter to Big Brother Ah You and tell him that the prefecture capital is really fun. If he’s tired of studying in the future, he can come here to play too!”
At that time, she would also tell Big Brother Ah You stories.
“Speaking of which, is Qin Huai also taking the imperial provincial examination like your Second Uncle?” Old Madam Wang recalled this matter.
“That’s right. Big Brother Ah You is very smart. He will definitely pass. He said that he’s aiming to be a top scholar.” Little Ah Yu trusted him very much. It was mainly because Big Brother Ah You said that he would definitely be able to complete it.
At the beginning of March, the imperial provincial examination came to an end and it entered a tense evaluation period.
When Qin Huai walked out of the examination hall, his physical condition was actually better than most of the examinees. He also had a confident expression on his face.
The contents of this exam were all within his expectations. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to get first place.
Qin Huai had long made arrangements. When the title of Top Scholar came down, he would take the scroll and give it to Ah Yu.
In the future, if there was anything good, he would place it with Ah Yu.
Chi Jia stepped into the room with a happy expression and brought good news to Qin Huai.
“Young Master, Miss Ah Yu and the others have already decided to stay in the prefecture capital of Wangbei County for the long term. The old lady of the Wang Family bought two courtyard houses, two shops, and a small school field in the prefecture capital.”
The prefecture capital of Wangbei County was hundreds of miles closer to Wanning City. From the prefecture capital to Wanning City, there was only less than 10 days of travel. Naturally, it was worth being happy about.
“Who’s the magistrate of Wangbei County?” Qin Huai asked. “Will he make things difficult for them?”
Chi Jia said, “He’s the third son of the Wei Family, the Marquis of Zhennan. He’s already been a magistrate in Wangbei County for six to seven years. His assessments are all top-notch every year. His reputation in the circle of influential people in Wanning City is also good.”
Qin Huai did not react much to this.
Whether the comments from the outside world were good or bad could not really explain how this person was.
In any case, they would know when the rankings came down.
However, Qin Huai waited and waited, but he did not see a name that belonged to him.
Even after the list was released, Qin Huai’s name was not among the 200 names.
After the imperial provincial examination, the top 30 of all the prefectures had to go to Wanning City to participate in the imperial civil service examination.
There was a total of 200 spots for the imperial civil service examination. Among the 200 people, the first 100 and the last 100 had different futures.
The top 100 still had to undergo an additional test. Then, the top 10 of the additional test would be brought into the palace and the top 1 to 10 would be determined.
Qin Huai’s gaze gradually turned cold, and Chi Jia also felt that it was very ridiculous.
Young Master’s knowledge had been praised by many scholars. Although Young Master had not entered the Imperial College to study, Duke An had already invited a retired scholar to guide him.
Moreover, Qin Huai had also gone to a few famous poetry and literary gatherings for top talents. It was just to spread his illustrious name. It was best if he could let Ah Yu, who was far away in the southern town, know.
There was no reason for him to fail.
Even if he was not among the top three, he would definitely not fall out of the top ten.
“I’ll go and investigate!”
Before Chi Jia could walk out, Madam Qin’s voice sounded.
“There’s no need to investigate.”
Chi Jia bowed to her. “Madam.”
“You go down first.”
After Chi Jia left, Qin Huai’s gaze on Madam Qin turned cold.
“You better not tell me what you did again.” Qin Huai almost could not control the malice in his tone. “You know very well how important this imperial provincial examination is to me.”
“So what?”
