It's all because Ningbao isn't skilled enough and hasn't learned how to draw the talisman paper for the exam. But I think this exam is a very sacred thing.
We shouldn't interfere with external forces. Grandma, look at your son Mu Chengrong, he has a full forehead and a square jaw, he's clearly a blessed person.
Moreover, Chengrong's academic performance is not bad. My third brother told me that Chengrong is often praised by the teacher in class.
Both teachers were serious people and did not praise others casually.
It seems that Chengrong is naturally gifted at studying. I suggest that Grandma not interfere with him, in case the exam god finds out and gets angry.
If the exam god gets angry, he might give the ranking that originally belonged to Chengrong to someone else.
When Zhao Juhua heard Ning Bao say that the "exam god" was going to give away the ranking that belonged to her grandson, she immediately became anxious.
"What should we do then?"
My little darling, you must help Grandma.
Tell the test-taker that Grandma didn't do it on purpose.
Ning Bao earnestly comforted Zhao Juhua.
"Grandma, don't worry."
I've spoken to the God of Exams, and he said that since it's your first offense, he won't blame you. You don't need to do anything; just silently support Brother Chengrong.
Anyway, Chengrong is still young. If he doesn't pass this year, he can try again next year. The exam god has reserved a spot for Chengrong, though I don't know which year it will be.
Zhao Juhua became immediately excited when she heard that the exam god had reserved a spot for her grandson.
"Okay, okay! I'm not in a hurry! Not in a hurry at all!"
The exam god, who was busy and overwhelmed in the sky, paused for a moment:
What's going on?
When did he take on this job?
How could he not know?
He's been very busy lately, with exams coming up in various timelines and worlds. He hasn't slept for days.
The exam god also lost his temper. He took out his booklet and found Mu Chengrong's 38th place in the next year's examination.
Well, he thought he just heard the old woman say that there was no rush, and that last place was fine.
He, the exam god, was always soft-hearted. Since this was a ranking that the old woman had sincerely asked for, he would help her achieve it.
With a flick of his pen, the God of Exams changed the small print following Mu Chengrong's name to:
He will be ranked 50th among the students taking the imperial examination the following year.
The imperial examination system in Longyuan Kingdom was quite peculiar, with 50 candidates selected from each county for the preliminary examinations.
Each prefecture only admits 50 scholars for the Xiucai degree, only 200 for the Juren degree nationwide, and a total of 50 for the Jinshi degree, making the competition extremely fierce.
Just as everyone was preparing to leave at the village entrance, Ningbao saw an unexpected person run up to Chen Boyu and hand him a bundle.
Then she ran away with a shy expression.
Ning Bao was stunned for a moment. What was going on? Was something wrong?
She's been quite busy lately and has forgotten to check on Chen Juren's marriage.
"Mother, has Master Chen gotten married?"
Shen Yuzhen was stunned for a moment.
"No, I'm not married."
Your grandma was just trying to set him up with a match a few days ago.
Ning Bao paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow at Chen Boyu, who seemed lost in thought.
"Mother, look at Master Chen's smiling face, is he about to have some luck with women?"
Shen Yuzhen affectionately tapped Ningbao's forehead.
"You're just so mischievous."
"Hehe! Mother, I'm telling the truth."
"Mother, I'm going to talk to the teacher." Ningbao said, and then jumped off the carriage.
She always remembered the request that Old Lady Chen had made to her, so Ningbao was still very concerned about Chen Boyu's marriage.
