Chapter 908: Chapter 908: Scumbag Brother and Father, Get Lost (54)

There was a story going around in Baiyang County about a group of scholars being taught by a young girl barely in her teens.

However, outside of Baiyang County, people would not believe that such a young girl could have the ability to teach scholars. Even the locals of Baiyang County were skeptical of Qiann Yan’s abilities.

The time for the county examination was quickly approaching, and the scholars of Baiyang County couldn’t help but pay attention to Qiann Yan and her handful of students.

Even those not taking the county examination couldn’t resist heading to the examination site, eager to see if any of the scholars taught by Qiann Yan would succeed in becoming scholars.

From what they understood, apart from Yaan Huai, it was extremely difficult for the others to succeed in the county examination. Some people were waiting for Qiann Yan to make a fool of herself, while others were anticipating something different.

With such complicated emotions, they arrived at the examination location. Many noticed that there were more people in this county examination compared to the last one.

People from other places, upon hearing this story, were also amazed and couldn’t wait for the time when the county examination results would be announced.

Jiao Rongchang and his wife also came; they were there to send off students. This time, Jiao Rongchang had ten scholars taking the county examination.

When Jiao Rongchang saw the group of scholars behind Qiann Yan, he couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his eyes. He had heard before about how robust her students looked but had not expected them to be this impressive.

"These students of yours look like they’re here to take a martial exam rather than a written one," Jiao Rongchang teased. "Compared to the average scholars, they are... so different." He glanced back at his own students, many of whom had pale faces, and began to worry.

These students, for the sake of their studies, would sit for several hours, making their bodies quite frail.

Qiann Yan replied, "Balance between work and rest. I arranged a study schedule for them that includes both reading and physical exercise. I’ve heard that during each county or imperial examination, some candidates faint midway and are carried out, missing their chance, hence having a strong body aids in studying."

Jiao Rongchang seemed pensive, as he believed Qiann Yan made a valid point.

He asked, "So, how do you arrange your study schedule?"

Qiann Yan did not withhold anything and recited the schedule to him. Jiao Rongchang noted it down, considering whether to refer to this model when he returned.

He gave several glances to the students behind Qiann Yan and increasingly felt that they had abundant energy, truly standing out in the crowd. With their robust physiques, staying in the examination hall for three days, or even five, seemed no problem.

"Qiann Yan, how many do you think will pass this time?" Jiao Rongchang couldn’t help asking. He believed in Qiann Yan’s abilities but couldn’t guess her limits. Even before the exams, he was eager to know the outcome.

Although the result might not be predictable, he still wanted to hear her thoughts.

Qiann Yan made an estimate and said, "Ten should be assured."

Jiao Rongchang: "..."

Mrs. Jiao was incredulous. She had speculated around five, never expecting Qiann Yan to be so confident, claiming more than ten. What kind of concept was that?

Out of sixteen people, ten passing is simply overwhelming.

Jiao Rongchang and his wife were speechless, and the scholars behind them widened their eyes, thinking she was bragging.

But recalling her capabilities, no one dared to oppose.

What if she actually managed to do it?

The examination time finally arrived, and Qiann Yan escorted all her students to the exam hall entrance, saying, "Just perform as you usually do, no need to be nervous, it’s just a county examination."
