It’s late May now, and June is still five or six days away.

The next college examination will be held in Yingtianfu in early August.

It takes ten days to travel from Zijin Mansion to Yingtian Mansion.

It’s not too far, just take a boat and take the waterway, but life on the boat is a bit more difficult.

Qi Xianguan will continue to participate in the college examination this year. The Qi family has already prepared a boat and is waiting for the results of Liu Ji's palace examination to be set off soon.

Liu Jica was the last one on the list of talents for the government examination. Although Gong Liangliao felt a little embarrassed, he still won in the end.

The old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief and silently looked forward to what results his two disciples would achieve in the college examination.

However, Gong Liangxiao didn't know that his two direct disciples, one ranked first in Grade A and the other ranked last in Grade C, had now become gossip among the people of the city.

But thinking about it on the other hand, this person who was the last to have studied seriously for only two years was able to pass the government examination ahead of countless candidates who had studied hard since childhood. This is not another kind of late bloomer.

Moreover, the standards for accepting disciples of a great Confucian are inherently strict. If he has no merit, how can he become a disciple of a great Confucian?

How can he gain the approval of his senior brother, the young master of the Qi family, who is known as a child prodigy?

The wind has quietly changed. When people mention Liu Ji, the scholar who ranked last this year, they will unconsciously think of inspiring positive images such as a late bloomer and that it is never too late as long as you are willing to study.

In this regard, Song Yu, who secretly followed his wife's request and found people to spread public opinion everywhere, said that what you think is always what others want you to think.

As for the truth, who cares.

Since then, Liu Ji's character of hardworking, poor and late-blooming has gone forever.

And because of the weird posture of the couple looking at the list on the day the list was released, Liu Ji became a little popular this May.

From an unknown person, he became a poor villager in Zijing Mansion who could impress many scholars.

In order to catch up with Yingtianfu's college examination, Liu Ji had to rush back to his ancestral home as soon as possible to complete all the relevant complicated documents.

It happened that Qin Yao was about to return, and Liu Ji called him wonderful.

The night before the couple returned home, the He family invited the couple to a banquet at their house, not only to congratulate Liu Ji on winning the prize, but also to practice it for the two of them.

A late-blooming scholar who works hard, no matter who his master or brother is, already has certain investment value in the eyes of a family like the He family.

Therefore, the dinner was very sumptuous. The couple ate and drank well and returned to the inn late at night.

Liu Ji was really drunk. After living half his life, tonight was the most glorious moment of his life.

The prefects all toasted to him. Looking at the entire Bauhinia Mansion, how many talented people can get such treatment? !

Staggering into the guest room, smelling the smell of his own bedding, he fell into the soft quilt with a thump, and laughed "Jie Jie Jie".

Qin Yao glanced at Liu Ji who was lying on the floor speechlessly, her temples bulging.

He closed the door with his backhand, walked around the man in the chrysalis, and came to the washbasin to pour water in preparation for washing.

Unexpectedly, a dark shadow crawled to her feet and suddenly hugged her thigh.

Qin Yao lowered his head, looking up at her with a handsome face with messy hair and flushed eyes, as if he was a little delirious.

"I am a scholar now, and you are the scholar's wife. Hehehe, are you happy?"

He asked, without waiting for her to answer, he lowered his head, changed his voice, and said arrogantly: "Qin Yao! You have to take good care of your husband-in-law. I will be indispensable for you to be famous and popular in the future. Do you understand?"

Qin Yao's eyes narrowed dangerously.

Before she could get angry, the man suddenly took out a shiny silver ingot from the sole of his shoe like a treasure.

"Look!" He smashed the five-tael small silver ingot into her arms like an uncle, "I reward you with it! Take it! Don't tell me in the future, I only care about your little silver. Now I can do the same." He is the one who earns money." As he spoke, he suddenly let go of her thighs, squatted on the ground, covered his face and began to cry, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Qin Yao's mouth twitched, she seemed really drunk this time.

Liu Ji started crying and calling her mother, "Mom, you don't know, your son was bullied so badly. That evil woman beat people to the point of pain, and she also liked to twist people's heads. I was so scared to death!"

Qin Yao slashed with a knife, and Liu Ji screamed in pain and fell to the ground unconscious.

The world is finally quiet.

Qin Yao weighed the small silver ingot that Uncle Liu rewarded her. These five taels of silver should be the travel expenses funded by the government and the local gentry for this class of scholars to participate in the college examination.

She was hidden by Liu Ji. If he hadn't been drunk and carried away, he probably wouldn't have revealed anything to her.

Qin Yao snorted coldly, put away the silver ingot first, lifted the ball of crickets and pupae on the ground, washed his face and feet, and went to bed with the lamp on.

Early the next morning, Liu Ji sat up from his dream with a start. He always felt that something was wrong, but his mind went blank and he couldn't remember what was wrong.

He touched everything on his body, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. The precious silver ingot was missing!

When Qin Yao got up, someone was lying on the floor of the room and crawling around.

She shrugged without asking, got out of bed, washed up, packed her luggage, and then pretended to be impatient and asked, "What are you looking for?"

Liu Ji forced a smile and said, "It's okay, just see if the floor of this inn is strong."

"Madam, have you packed up?"

Seeing Qin Yao nodding, Liu Ji endured the pain and gritted his teeth to give up, fearing that she would get angry if she waited too long.

He quickly got up from the ground and said that he would go downstairs first to see how Soong Yu's carriage was being prepared.

As I went downstairs, I took the opportunity to search, but I couldn't find a single hair.

Think about it, if it was really lost, others would have picked it up long ago.

Until he got on the carriage and looked at the city walls of the city that were getting farther and farther away, knowing that there was no hope of retrieving him, this man who had been strong all his life finally couldn't help but look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and shed heartbroken tears.

Woohoo, silver! His money!

inside the carriage.

Qin Yao fiddled with the low-grade jade and satin rags in the box, not daring to raise her head for fear that someone would notice the corner of her mouth that was about to burst from laughter.

Fulong Trading Company finally gave a clear explanation of the business of the Lady's Box.

They want to do it, but they need to see the final product before signing a contract with the stationery factory.

Qin Yao readily agreed and took some jade and silk rags from Fulong Trading Company. She planned to ask Song Yu to form a small research and development team when she returned to produce the final product as soon as possible.

Outside the carriage, Liu Ji, who was surrounded by sadness, finally recovered. He covered his heart and spoke into the carriage, trying to divert his attention from the silver ingot.

Qin Yao responded with a perfunctory "Uh-huh" for the sake of the silver ingot in her pocket.

The two of them talked about Liu Ji mentioning that he wanted to go to the village to find the village chief to stamp the document. Qin Yao then remembered that there seemed to be one more thing that Liu Ji had not told Liu Ji about.

But should I tell him now?

Qin Yao took out the small copper medal she had hidden in the slit of her belt and smiled evilly.

Then let’s add a little shock to this sad man who lost his money!
