Wan Ruo curled her lips and said, "Then I'll leave first."
"I'll come find you after I announce the results!"
"Then I'll wait for your good news."
Wanruo left the inn, and Suyue couldn't help asking, "Miss, you're so obsessed with the idea that he can go to Qingzhou after the results are announced, aren't you afraid that he might actually pass the exam?"
Wan Ruo walked briskly: "There are more than 200 new candidates. Except for those who ranked at the top of the second class, the rest will be sent to serve as officials in the local areas. He is not sure, and most likely he will not be able to enter the second class. There is nothing wrong with being a local official."
"What if he gets second place?"
Although the city of Yanjing is big, there may be times when we encounter enemies. If Lin Han really stays in the capital to be an official, Wanruo will be in trouble.
"Even if he really wins, he must first return to Qingzhou to announce the good news. When he is ready to come to the capital to take up his post again, I will stay in Qingzhou to serve him and his relatives. What's wrong with that?"
Lin Han is an official, so even if she is not in Qingzhou, no one dares to attack the official's family. She can serve his relatives in Qingzhou peacefully, open a herbal medicine shop, and support Ajin's education and growth.
Su Yue said blankly: "Young lady, you actually think so far ahead."
"After my parents passed away, many things fell on my shoulders. I always have to be more considerate."

Although the Spring Examination had passed, the city of Yanjing had become even more lively. The candidates who had taken the exams were still staying in the capital, waiting for the results to be announced. Since they had finished the exams, most of them had relaxed and were either holding poetry readings or drinking parties. It was quite lively.
"I heard that the Xie Clan School will be open for one day tomorrow, and the eldest sons of the Xie family will be giving lectures in person. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't miss it!"
"But Mr. Xie, who recently solved the Jiangnan Salt Tax Case? Tsk tsk, he's only twenty years old, and he easily handled such a big case. I'm almost thirty, and you're still taking exams. I'm so ashamed, so ashamed."
"How can you compare with him? He's the top scholar. Listening to his class once might benefit you for the rest of your life."
"Of course I will be waiting for you at the gate of the Xie Clan School tomorrow morning! If I can meet Mr. Xie once, even if I fail the exam this time, it will be a waste of my time in Yanjing City."
Everyone burst into laughter.
The people at the table in the corner were also very excited listening to the excitement.
"Brother Lin, let's go and take a look tomorrow. That's Xie Xianyu, the top scholar who won three top prizes in a row. If we can get a few pointers from him, even if we don't win this time, we'll definitely have a chance next time!"
Lin Han responded excitedly: "Okay, let's go together!"
The next day, the Xie clan school was opened, and a large number of Lanshan students poured into this majestic clan school. This usually solemn school was rarely bustling with activity.
In a second-floor attic next to a bamboo forest, the window was wide open. A person was standing lazily by the window, waving a folding fan in his hand, and chuckling, "Your reputation is quite impressive. I'm afraid all the candidates in the capital must be here."
Xie Xianyu, dressed in a silver-gray robe and a silver crown, sat opposite him, sipping tea and asking indifferently, "What are you doing here?"
Su Yan folded his folding fan and sat down in the armchair with a smile on his face. "I'm here to show my support for you."
Xie Xianyu placed the teacup on the table lightly, raised his eyes to look at him, and said in a cold voice, "Are you looking for death?"
"Ahaha! Just kidding. To be honest, I'm not convinced at all. Everyone remembers you as the top scorer, but no one remembers the third place winner? Isn't the third place a human being?"
Xie Xianyu poured tea on his own and didn't bother to pay any attention to him.
Su Yan tapped the table with his folding fan: "Although you only won the first place in the imperial examination, I was able to win the third place. Do you know why?"
Only won the top spot?
Xie Xianyu glared at him: "Why?"
"Because I am prettier than you."
