Chapter 510 Wang Chuangui Passes the Imperial Examination

"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about! Your aunt, the Empress, is still in the palace. Luckily, it's just our family here, so don't say anything carelessly." The Duke suddenly hurriedly covered Qin Huai's mouth.

Qin Huai didn't say anything, but everyone knew that he had already made up his mind.

Even if there was a so-called empress cousin in the palace, even if he met Madam Qin at the empress cousin's door and heard the cousin's voice.

But in this world, once you reach a certain position, even deceiving the world becomes incredibly easy.

Moreover, it involved the combined power of the entire harem to deceive a child who had not yet reached adulthood.

But he didn't want to be that ignorant and foolish child.

Since his wife was unwilling to talk about her unspeakable secret, he was no longer curious. From then on, even if his wife wanted to talk about it, he would not listen.

Qin Huai broke free from the Duchess, bowed to the Duke and Duchess of Anguo, and walked step by step without hesitation towards the door.

At that moment, Madam Qin suddenly had a premonition that if Qin Huai were to leave like this, perhaps, perhaps she would never see this child again.

"Wait a minute." Madam Qin finally relented, her tone sounding as if she had aged several years. "What do you want to know?"

On the third day of the third lunar month, the Flower Festival arrived once again, and the Wang family celebrated their greatest joy.

"Congratulations, sir, on becoming a successful candidate in the imperial examinations."

Congratulations!

"From now on, our neighbors on Zhuque Street will be even more proud, because this is a top-three scholar!"

They had a house in the prefectural city, right on Zhuque Street, which was also the courtyard only two streets away from the prefectural government office.

Early that morning, while everyone was still celebrating the Flower Festival, a messenger arrived at Old Wang's door with a smile to deliver the good news.

Looking up, the messenger saw a plaque above Old Wang's house that read "A Family of Loyalty and Righteousness," which made him even happier.

A family like this is wonderful; sending a letter to such a family will surely bring him success in life.

Even if the reward is less, it doesn't matter. To be second in the imperial examination is a great honor.

The reward money will certainly be substantial.

Old Mrs. Wang took out ten taels of silver and a packet of fine white sugar and handed them to the messenger.

The messenger was so happy his mouth practically stretched to the back of his head.

That's ten taels of silver!

This was the first time he had ever received such a generous gift while doing the job of delivering messages.

This thank-you gift is enough to cover the expenses of their family for a whole year, not to mention a large bag of white sugar.

That's something that money can't always buy.

Wang Chuangui himself did not expect that after attending his nephew's wedding, he would rush to the prefectural city, listen to his teacher's teachings, and then hurriedly enter the examination hall.

Wang Chuangui thought he would be lucky to pass the exam, and even when answering the questions, he felt very uncertain about two of them.

Ultimately, I didn't learn much; part of it relied on rote memorization, and the other part depended entirely on my life experience.

It's no wonder Wang Chuangui was flustered; the questions were indeed very difficult.

However, thanks to the special preparations made by Old Mrs. Wang, when he went in, Wang Chuangui was wearing two rabbit fur coats and heavy knee pads.

People around him laughed at him, but after he went inside, he found that one piece of clothing could be used as a mattress, and the other could be used as a blanket. It was soft and warm to sleep on at night, and he could fall asleep peacefully right away.

There were also some dishes that were made especially fragrant. Ma specially roasted a kind of fragrant dried bean curd, roasted it until it was half-dried, then cut it into small cubes, added braising spices and braised it several times, and finally smoked it with herbs.

When I felt sleepy during the exam, I would take out two snacks and chew on them.
