Chapter 159 The Novice



The woman suddenly lifted her veil. "Do you really know where he is?"

Nanzhi looked around and suddenly remembered someone.

Pei Nanqing's younger sister, Pei Wuyou.

Who else could it be but Pei Wuyou standing before her now?

However, there was another woman standing next to her.

Wearing a veiled hat as well, the other person was also very excited upon hearing Pei Nanqing's name.

"Cherry, who is the person behind Pei Wuyou?"

Cherry: "Master, this is Yue Manwan, a girl who grew up with Pei Nanqing. She comes from an official family, is a good person, and will be Pei Nanqing's future spouse."

So that's how it is, childhood sweethearts.

Nanzhi accepted the fifty taels of silver and then wrote down an address.

That was their home address.

"Found it! Finally found it!" Yue Manwan exclaimed excitedly from under her veil.

Suddenly Cherry said, "Master, stop them quickly! There are people following them."

Upon hearing this, Nanzhi jumped off the table and snatched the note from the table.

"What are you doing!" Pei Wuyou roared.

Nan Zhi smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, miss, I gave you the wrong one earlier. This is the real one."

Pei Wuyou snatched it away, "Sister Yue, are you sure she's not a liar?"

Yue Manwan: "Wuyou, you must not be rude."

Nan Zhi nodded, then walked to Yue Manwan's side.

"You're so considerate, young lady. But, could you be seeing your lover? It's not good to have an affair; people will see."

"What did you say! You're the one who's cheating on your husband! Sister, let's ignore this liar and go." Pei Wuyou pulled her away.

Yue Manwan seemed to be deep in thought, but when she turned around, she saw the other person open their mouth but say something silently.

Her eyes lit up.

"Master, how can they move like this?" Cherry asked doubtfully.

Nan Zhi: "Pei Wuyou is thick-skinned. It's already a miracle that the Pei family understands this, but the girl next to her is a smart person."

After her reminder, he probably knows what he should say and do.

Next, Nanzhi examined the faces of several people.

Finally, afternoon arrived, and Nanzhi found a place to take off her clothes.

She then instructed Weimin to pack up her stall.

When she arrived, Lin Chengyi had already been there for a while.

A short while later, the door opened.

A large number of students poured out of the courtyard.

Nanzhi waited for a long time, but the two still did not come out.

At this moment, Lin Jiaxiang walked out from inside the door.

Before Lin Chengyi could act, Zhang Hongfu rushed over.

Nan Zhi looked at Lin Chengyi and said, "If Lord Lin cares about him, then go over there."

Lin Chengyi: "Who cares about him?"

Nanzhi kindly advised, "If you want to improve your relationship with your son, you need to show him more care and let him know it."

"Young Master, how is it?"

Lin Jiaxiang saw Lin Chengyi in the distance, and a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.

"Of course, it's just a county-level exam, I'll pass it without a doubt."

After waiting and waiting without seeing anyone, Nan Zhi had no choice but to ask, "Lin Jiaxiang, why haven't Nan Chunxian and Nan Chungu come out yet?"

Lin Jiaxiang suddenly remembered: "Chun Gu is too young and was called away by the examiner. Chun Xian is waiting for him."

Nanzhi frowned, but fortunately, the two of them came out unharmed after a short while.

Nan Chungu happily rushed into Nan Zhi's arms.

How did the exam go?

Nan Chungu: "Don't worry, sister, there's no problem."

Nanzhi then asked, "What did the examiner want to do with you?"

Nan Chungu was furious when he talked about it.

"The examiner, Jiang Ran, discussed with me whether it was possible to avoid changing the name on the exam paper to someone else's."

Nan Chungu is young; if she fails this year, she can still take the exam next year. The examiner's attempt to buy her exam paper is blatant cheating.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chengyi exclaimed, "How dare you! This is the county-level examination!"

"Spring Valley, take me inside. I want to see who dares to be so bold."

The county examination was organized by the county government and was overseen by Lin Chengyi.

He has to take charge of this matter.

The group entered the room in a large procession and arrived at their destination.

The examiner, having received the money, was naturally obligated to do something. Although Nan Chungu disagreed, he was young and had no connections, making him easy to manipulate.

He had just taken something out when the door was suddenly kicked open.

There wasn't time to retrieve the items.

"Who are you? This is not a place for you. Get out!"

Lin Chengyi: "As an examiner, you privately altered students' exam papers. Do you know your crime?"

The examiner hid the item in his sleeve.

"What's it to you? Besides, when did I ever change the exam paper?"

"Someone come here!"

Several guards burst in from outside the door.

Lin Chengyi: "Take him down and put him in jail."

Stealing someone else's exam paper was fortunately only for the county exam; if it had been for the prefectural exam or higher, it would have been a capital offense.

The examiners were surprised to find that the person who came was the county magistrate, and even more surprised that Nan Chungu knew the county magistrate.

The results of the county examination were available in just a few days.

As expected, all three passed the county examination, and the prefectural examination followed immediately.

The content of the prefectural examination was more complex than that of the county examination.

There were three subjects in total: classical texts, miscellaneous essays, and policy essays. These three subjects tested the students' memorization, literary skills, and political and current affairs abilities, respectively.

Although it was much more difficult than the county exam, it was still a piece of cake for the three of them.

Walking out of the exam room, I felt no pressure whatsoever.

Seven days later, the county released the results.

Nanzhi finished breakfast early in the morning and then pulled a few people over.

"It's in! It's in!" Liu Dezhi exclaimed happily.

Nanzhi was too small to squeeze in, so Liu Dezhi had to report it.

"Master, both of our young masters have been admitted. Young Master Chunxian and Young Master Chungu are both ranked first."
