403 Qin Huai’s Wish
The things the Murong family had sent over were not as simple as they looked on the surface. This was actually the sincerity of the Murong family.
Firstly, it meant that they had already established a relationship with the Hua Family in Wanning City. They could be considered to have connections in the capital and could serve the w.a.n.g Family when needed.
The second meaning was that although their family was richer than the w.a.n.g Family, they were willing to humble themselves and support the w.a.n.g Family.
They were even willing to use their family’s resources to pave the way for the w.a.n.g Family students who wanted to partic.i.p.ate in the imperial examination.
The Murong Family was sensible.
They did not take the initiative to befriend them and were willing to cover for them.
If the w.a.n.g Family wanted to prosper, the Murong Family could help.
Old Madam w.a.n.g looked at Little Ah Yu’s expectant gaze and instantly had an idea.
She nodded. “Hm, they’ll be here in a while.”
Little Ah Yu instantly became happy. “That’s great. I quite like Big Brother Murong.”
“Which Big Brother of yours do you not like?” Old Madam w.a.n.g said in amus.e.m.e.nt.
There were not many people in this world she did not like.
Even the beggars who occasionally wandered into town, Little Ah Yu said that she liked them and even secretly sent some buns and malt candy from the shop to them.
“Big Brother Murong is good-looking, so of course I like him! Teacher said that everyone likes beauty. This is very normal,” Little Ah Yu said logically.
The little fellow liked good-looking and gentle-spoken people.
Who wouldn’t like it?
While Old Madam w.a.n.g was here, she helped read the letter sent by Qin Huai.
This letter was sent at the beginning of February. At that time, Little Ah Yu’s letter mentioned the Women’s Academy.
Qin Huai’s reply was also very serious. He did not coax Little Ah Yu just because she was young.
In the letter, Qin Huai promised Little Ah Yu very seriously that he would help her fulfill this wish.
Qin Huai also said that he was working hard and had good results. He would also partic.i.p.ate in this year’s county level imperial exam. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to become a county scholar.
In the future, he would also take the imperial provincial examination and imperial civil service examination and become an official as soon as possible. It would be much easier for Little Ah Yu to open a Woman’s Academy if she became an official’s wife in the future.
Humility was popular nowadays, but Qin Huai’s words revealed great confidence. He felt that he would definitely be able to climb up the ranks.
He had actually been very reserved and did not tell Little Ah Yu that his wish was to become the youngest top scholar. That way, in the throne room, he could ask the Tian Family to let Little Ah Yu open a Women’s Academy.
Old Madam w.a.n.g looked at the letter and realized that it was a letter from a young man to a five-year-old girl.
His words were inevitably childish and frivolous.
She found it funny at first, then fell into deep thought.
Last year, the w.a.n.g Family had helped him celebrate his seventh birthday, but it was only a bowl of longevity noodles.
He would only be eight years old this year.
An eight-year-old county scholar?
In the history of Great Chang, a county scholar at this age was not considered the youngest.
“As expected of my child husband. Big Brother Ah You is really amazing. He’ll definitely be able to become a county scholar, right?”
Meatball: […]
Old Madam w.a.n.g almost choked. “Who taught you to raise a child husband?”
Little Ah Yu said, “Fifth Big Brother said it. He said that if there’s a child betrothal, it’s a child bride and a child husband. He also said that Big Brother’s marriage is so slow. He has to work hard to find a child bride first so that it won’t be difficult for him to marry in the future.”
Old Madam w.a.n.g smiled. “Alright, Grandma understands. Put these things away properly. Grandma will go out and busy herself first.”
“Alright,” Little Ah Yu said obediently, not realizing how much she had dug a pit for her Fifth Brother.
After Old Madam w.a.n.g left, Little Ah Yu put all these things into the spatial pocket.
Old Madam w.a.n.g had handed over all the important things in the family to Little Ah Yu, including the w.a.n.g Family’s house deed, land deed, shop deed, gold, and a portion of the banknotes.
There was no safer place than the spatial pocket guarded by the Immortal.
The teachers were all invited to the newly built school to take a look and rest at the place where Village Chief Hu was holding the banquet.
w.a.n.g Chuanfu was called over by Village Chief Hu to welcome the teachers on behalf of the w.a.n.g Family.
When he returned after a meal, he realized that w.a.n.g Wulang was squatting in the courtyard with a jar raised above his head and his legs trembling.
Old Madam w.a.n.g held a bamboo strip in her hand and sat at the side.
She turned around and saw w.a.n.g Chuanfu.
She smiled especially kindly. “You’re back. Those teachers didn’t make things difficult for you, right?”
w.a.n.g Chuanfu trembled.
