After being reborn as a man, the woman improved her family's fortunes through education.

After more than half an hour, Jiang Xiaoqi finally put down his pen.

He placed the last test paper on top of the first four and stood up to stretch his neck.

"Finished answering? How was it? Was it difficult? Did you write everything down? Tired? Take a rest! Clerk, have someone bring some hot tea and some snacks that the children like!"

Jiang Changqing stood up and asked a series of questions, then instructed the steward to get some food and drink for Jiang Xiaoqi, which showed how nervous he was.

"Reporting to my great-uncle, I've finished answering. It wasn't too difficult. I wrote everything down, so it wasn't tiring."

Jiang Xiaoqi answered each question one by one, her shallow dimples blooming on her face, making people forget their worries upon seeing her.

"Alright, alright, take a break. How can you not be tired with so many difficult problems? Even if your hands aren't tired, it's extremely mentally taxing!"

Jiang Changqing gently pulled Jiang Xiaoqi to his side and gave her some instructions.

"I, your grand-nephew, have solved all the difficult math problems you've presented. I would be grateful if you could take the trouble to grade them as well!"

"Obligated!"

The group readily agreed and stepped forward to select the questions they had prepared.

Master Liu of the private school in the north city agreed verbally, but he was in a dilemma. After all, the three difficult questions presented by the family were all ones that he himself had not been able to solve.

Moreover, the question itself is incomplete. The answerer not only has to solve the question, but also complete the calculation. The difficulty is extraordinary.

He himself doesn't have that ability, so how can he grade other people's questions?

We can't just guess blindly, can we...?

Cough cough, never mind, let's see what others have done first. If their answers aren't very good, maybe I won't have to judge them myself?

"This child is truly talented! These ten questions were incredibly difficult and covered a wide range of topics, yet he got all ten right! It's remarkable!"

Wu, the instructor of the county school, spoke first, and at the same time drew a red circle on the paper with a vermilion pen, added his name at the end, and stamped his personal seal.

There was no other way; since Lord Jiang's purpose was so clear, he naturally had to be sensible and not wait for others to speak before directly signing his name to demonstrate the openness, fairness, and impartiality of the judgment.

Master Lan of the Dongcheng Private School had finished grading the papers and nodded to Jiang Xiaoqi: "This child is extraordinary; all his answers are correct!"

Yes, concise and to the point, it also means that all the answers were correct.

It was circled, signed, and stamped with the personal seal.

Master Zhang of the private school in the south of the city believed that his exam paper must be the most difficult of the five, since he himself had to put in a lot of effort to solve similar questions.

Sometimes it takes two or three hours to solve a single problem. Before grading the papers, he didn't quite believe that such a young child could solve all the difficult problems in such a short time.

Unfolding the question paper, he was increasingly astonished. Could this problem really be solved this way? How come he had never thought of it before? However, this solution was indeed both time-saving and effortless.

This problem-solving approach is logically sound, with each step linked to the next; a single mistake can lead to complete failure.

Although it saves more time than his solution, it is also very risky and radical.

This child, judging from his problem-solving style, is like a sword drawn from its sheath; wherever the sword's light shines, it cuts through all obstacles and strikes straight at the heart of the enemy.

Looking again at that delicate, fair-skinned face with overly refined features, I wondered if I could ask Lord Jiang if I could borrow the child.

He has many similar questions that he can discuss and study with the child.

All four questions on the exam paper were correct. Master Zhang suppressed his thoughts, picked up his red brush, drew a large circle, signed his name, and stamped his seal.

The tutor of the private school in the west city had already finished grading the papers when the first three students had marked them with circles. Without exception, all of them were completely correct. He also marked them with circles, added his name, and stamped his seal.

After completing their tasks, the four handed over the papers they had graded to Jiang Changqing's advisor for safekeeping.

The servants brought hot tea, and the group picked up their teacups again to drink, their moods quite different from before.

The gazes directed at Jiang Xiaoqi were filled with fervor, making Jiang Xiaoqi feel goosebumps all over her body, as if she were being stared at like a vulture eyeing her flesh.

Seeing that his companions had all finished grading the papers, Master Liu of the Beicheng Private School couldn't help but sweat profusely, and the sweat on his palms made the words on the papers start to smudge.

He wiped it off discreetly with his clothes, as if he had made a decision, then picked up his pen, drew a circle, and stamped it.

Liu: I can't even tell right from wrong, let alone others? We can't lose face for Beicheng at this time!

The fifth set of questions was also handed to the clerk. All five sets of questions contained a total of twenty-eight difficult arithmetic problems, and all of them were solved!

With the title of instructor at the county school and the title of instructor at four private schools in the city, and with five teachers marking and stamping his papers, Jiang Mingfei's mathematical prowess is beyond question!

The clerk handed the exam papers to the clan school teacher, and they were posted on the Class A notice board along with the Class A monthly exam papers.

Listening to the compliments from the five people in front of him, Jiang Changqing remained calm and composed, but in his heart, he was already smiling from ear to ear.

After a round of flattery, the group eagerly invited Jiang Xiaoqi to the county school and the private schools in the east, west, south, and north of the city to discuss academic matters, their eyes burning with fervor.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Jiang Xiaoqi pretended to be scared and hid behind Jiang Changqing. Hehe, he didn't have that much free time to go out on fieldwork.

Jiang Changqing gently stroked Jiang Xiaoqi's head and said to everyone with a hint of pride, "My grand-nephew is not only good at arithmetic, but also has a photographic memory."

Master Zhang and the others were secretly alarmed upon hearing this. If this boy could continue like this, wouldn't their Xinghe Prefecture produce the youngest scholar in the future?

This is a symbol of a place's outstanding people and abundant resources, well, anyway, it's all related to these people~

After another round of praise, even someone as thick-skinned as Jiang Xiaoqi felt a little embarrassed. Well, he could only pretend to be a nonchalant prodigy.

What do child prodigies look like? Well, probably serious and mature beyond their years?

As evening approached, the group declined to stay for dinner and the five of them bid farewell to Jiang Changqing and left.

After everyone left, Jiang Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and tugged at Jiang Changqing's sleeve, asking, "Grand Uncle, will the clan school be able to clear Master Yan's name now?"

Jiang Changqing smiled and nodded kindly: "That's right. With these five papers as examples and the grading results published, anyone with a brain wouldn't question Master Yan anymore."

but……"

"But what?" Jiang Xiaoqi pressed.

"However, the root of the culprit has not yet been found. In case this person causes trouble again in the clan school in the future, we still need to find out the source!"

When the crowd gathered in front of the mansion gate, Jiang Changqing had already sent people to secretly investigate the source of the rumors.

"The county school has only about a hundred students, so it's easy to screen them. My great-uncle should have already sent someone to check, right?"

“That’s right. The clan school has already screened them once, and now they have identified a few of the most suspicious individuals.”

Jiang Xiaoqi put down her teacup and snacks, leaning forward slightly: "Who is it?"
