Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Old man w.a.n.g’s house was especially lively for two days. Ah Yu, who had been very nervous previously, also heaved a sigh of relief.
Not only did she take out her pocket money and get someone to cook chicken soup to distribute to the neighbors, but she also specially went to the Civil Star Temple to return the favor. With a wave of her hand, she donated 100 taels of silver worth of scented oil, shocking the surrounding visitors.
Because it had been many years since anyone had given so much money to Civil Star. The people of the world were still more willing to donate to Buddha.
When others saw Qin Huai being pulled by Ah Yu, they didn’t know that this was the new Top Scorer.
The main reason was that although Qin Huai and Ah Yu looked talented, they really looked too young. They were just children who had yet to grow up. No one would a.s.sociate them with the Imperial Examination system.
It was the big sister selling the brocade bag who discovered them and called out to Ah Yu happily, “Little girl, are you here to fulfill your promise? Did someone in your family pa.s.s?”
“Yes! Now, we only know that my Second Uncle and Big Brother Ah You have both pa.s.sed.” Ah Yu pushed Qin Huai out like she was promoting her own melon. “Big Brother All You is very powerful. He’s the top scholar!”
The elder sister widened her eyes and exclaimed, “The top scholar?! You mean that rumored little top scholar who possesses immense strength, boundless literary talent, radiates light when answering questions, fills the air with the songs of birds when submitting the exam paper, and pierces the entire target range with a single shot in the Six Arts of the Gentleman?!”
Qin Huai:”?”
Ah Yu’s mouth was also wide open. She turned her head to Qin Huai. “Big Brother All You, you didn’t tell me any of this.”
When Qin Huai saw Ah Yu’s expression, he almost couldn’t maintain the expression on his face. He could only explain calmly, “That’s not really true.”
“Hey, little scholar, you’re really too amazing.” The Big Sister didn’t care if the matter was true or not. She only raised her voice and shouted, “Previously, when you came to my stall to buy brocade bags, 1 felt that you were a dragon among men and would definitely be able to achieve great results in the Imperial Examination. Now that I look at it, that’s really the case. I think it’s also because my brocade bag has a certain effect and with the help of Civil Star
There were some students who had failed the exam this time, as well as the relatives of the other students who would take the next examination, here. When they heard this, they surrounded the two of them.
They were even more enthusiastic than when All Yu donated 100 taels worth of incense with a wave of her hand.
“Did you really only do well after buying a brocade bag from this stall?”
Ah Yu thought about the logic behind it and could only nod. “Yes.”
The others looked around and saw that the main person had already replied like this. What were they waiting for? They immediately rushed to the stall and cleared the entire stock.
The eldest sister added, “They didn’t just buy one brocade bag. That little girl bought 10 brocade bags in one go. Perhaps the effect will be better if you buy more brocade bags.”
The others hurriedly said, “Sister, are you still coming to set up the stall tomorrow? I’ll book 9 first, no, 10, no, 20. I’ll pay you first. You have to make mine first.”
In the end, a portion of the people surrounded Qin Huai to ask for guidance, and another portion pulled the Big Sister until she swayed.
Ah Yu looked at this and that, her eyes thoughtful.
When they finally returned home, Ah Yu took out a stack of paper in front of everyone.
Everyone asked her, “What is this?”
“We’re making brocade bags,” All Yu said. “We’ll write on this brocade bag and Big Brother Ah You will seal it. This is the brocade bag stamped by the Top Scorer. It’lll be a blessing to wish all the students a successful examination. That Big Sister’s brocade bag was sold for so much for no reason. My brocade bag will be sold for 50 taels each. I’ll make a total of 10.”
This way, she would be able to regain the 100 taels she had donated.
Everyone was speechless.
Were they so short of money?
Old Madam w.a.n.g smiled and said, “Let’s replace the paper with better quality ones, printed with colorful designs. Prepare 100 for students, 100 for exam candidates, and 100 for their family members.”
The old servants:”…”
It was confirmed. Their new owners’ family was really short of money..
