The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 508 So what?
As they approached the prefectural city, little Ayu excitedly exclaimed, "Grandma, I want to write a letter to Brother Ayou and tell him that the prefectural city is really fun. If he gets tired of studying, he can come here to play!"

She will tell stories to her brother Ayou then.

"Speaking of which, isn't Qin Huai also taking the imperial examination for the title of Juren, just like your second uncle?" Old Mrs. Wang remembered this.

“Yes, Brother Ayou is very smart, he will definitely pass the exam. He said he wants to get first place.” Little Ayu trusted him a lot, mainly because Brother Ayou said he could definitely do it.

In early March, the imperial examinations for the title of Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examinations) were completely over, and the intense grading period began.

After Qin Huai left the examination room, his physical condition was better than most of the candidates, and he had a confident expression on his face.

The content of this exam was exactly what he expected, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to get first place.

Qin Huai had already made arrangements; once the results of the imperial examination were announced, he would take the scroll and give it to Ayu.

From now on, any good things you have should be given to Ayu.

With a joyful expression, Chi Jia stepped into the room, bringing Qin Huai good news.

"Young master, Miss Ayu and the others have decided to stay in Wangbei Prefecture for an extended period. The old lady of the Wang family has bought two courtyards, two shops, and a small drill ground in the prefecture."

The prefectural city of Wangbei County is several hundred miles closer to Wanning City, which means the journey from the prefectural city to Wanning City will be shortened by more than 10 days, which is naturally something to be happy about.

"Who is the prefect of Wangbei Prefecture?" Qin Huai asked. "Will he make things difficult for them?"

Chi Jia said, "He is the third son of the Marquis of Zhennan, Wei. He has been the prefect of Wangbei County for six or seven years. He has always been ranked first in the annual assessments and has a good reputation among the powerful and influential in Wanning City."

Qin Huai did not react much to this.

Whether external comments are good or bad, they don't really tell you what a person is like.

Anyway, we'll know once the rankings are released.

However, Qin Huai waited and waited, but his name never came.

Even after the results of the imperial examination were announced, Qin Huai's name was not among the 200 candidates.

After the provincial examination, the top 30 candidates from each prefecture had to go to Wanning City to take the imperial examination.

The imperial examination selects the top 200 candidates, and among these 200, the top 100 and the bottom 100 have different future prospects.

The last 100 were placed in the top three. The first 100 were placed in the second class and had to take an additional test. The top 10 from the additional test were then selected for the final imperial examination, where the emperor would determine the first to tenth place winners.

The top ten in the palace examination are all considered to be in the first rank, and the top three are the true first rank.

These were all the rules for the imperial examinations established by the Great Chang Dynasty. They were slightly different from those of other dynasties. Every few years, the cabinet would discuss with the emperor to change the rules to prevent interference with the examinations, but they were ultimately similar.

Thinking about the various regulations for scientific expeditions, Qin Huai's gaze gradually turned cold, and Chi Jia also felt it was outrageous.

The young master's scholarship has been praised by many great Confucian scholars.

Although the young master did not study at the Imperial Academy, Duke Anguo had invited a retired scholar to teach him. The scholar taught him diligently every day, and the young master studied hard.

Moreover, the young master had attended several renowned poetry and literary gatherings, originally just to spread his good name, thinking it would be best if Ayu, who lived far away in Nanhe Town, knew about it.

Later, his articles were praised by many, and several high-ranking officials praised him for his outstanding literary talent, his sharp criticism of current affairs, and his ability to become a pillar of the state.

There's no reason why he should fail the exam.

Even if they don't get the top spot, they definitely won't fall out of the top 10.

"I'll go and investigate!"

Before Chi Jia could even leave, Madam Qin's voice rang out.

"No need to investigate further."

The man in red armor bowed to her and said, "Madam."

Madam Qin didn't look at him: "You may leave now."

After the red-armored man left, Qin Huai's gaze towards Madam Qin turned cold.

"You'd better not tell me what tricks you've played this time." Qin Huai could barely contain the malice in his voice. "You know perfectly well how important this imperial examination is to me."

"so what?"
