Chapter 497 Ayu's Teeth

Little Ayu hurriedly said, "Eating rice cakes won't fill my stomach. Wait a moment, I've already asked Aunt Hua to help make another meal, it will be ready soon."

"Miss Sun, you mustn't. The bride can't eat before the groom arrives," Haitang gently reminded her.

Xiao Ayu said, "I specifically asked, and there is no such rule in my village. The only rule is that the bride must not be starved! The new sister-in-law is only entering the family today. If she is starving and cries, my older brother will be very distressed."

"But that's against the rules."

"I told you, I asked!" Little Ayu was not happy. How come this new maid was not as good as the previous one?

She spoke very seriously, trying to make Haitang understand that she wasn't being unreasonable: "My grandmother and Grandpa Hu both said that if you marry into a family where you can't even get enough to eat and have to go hungry, you'd rather not marry at all. If on your wedding day, the husband is eating and drinking to his heart's content while the wife suffers and goes hungry in the house, then that's the real mistake of marrying the wrong person!"

"Achoo!" Qin Huai, who was far away in Wanning City, suddenly rubbed his nose.

Red Armor stepped forward and draped the fox fur over his shoulders.

"Young master, it's getting dark. Why don't we rest here and continue tomorrow?"

The imperial examination for the title of Juren was just around the corner, and even though Qin Huai was already confident, he still studied the written examination for the imperial examination with great care.

The imperial examination for the title of Juren lasted for eight days. Even with three long breaks during those eight days, it was still a significant test for both the body and mind.

There is no room for carelessness.

Now, the young master will soon be 9 years old.

However, in the entire Dachang region, no nine-year-old child had yet participated in the imperial examination for the title of Juren.

Even if they did, they'd probably have died in the exam hall long ago.

No child can endure eight days in the exam hall.

Qin Huai waved his hand: "You go to sleep first, I'll take another look."

“Young master, your learning is already sufficient. In the previous poetry gatherings you attended, scholars praised your writing highly, saying that your learning is excellent.” Chi Jia continued, “However, the imperial examination will consist of eight sessions, lasting for eight days without leaving the examination hall. Young master, can your body handle it?”

Qin Huaizhen wasn't confident.

But his gaze fell on the desk, where an inkstone sat, shaped like a little rabbit holding a carrot. A line of small characters was engraved at the bottom: "A bright future awaits."

It was specially carved by Old Wang for Little A Yue. Although it was made of bamboo, it was exceptionally ingenious and looked just as good as an inkstone carved from stone.

Besides this inkstone, there is also a water gourd and a sound-transmitting herb.

Qin Huai never had the heart to open the box.

That's it.

"Once we pass this exam, we'll go to Nanhe Town." There's too much deceit and treachery in Wanning City.

I only feel truly at ease when I'm with Ayu.

Chi Jia: "Young master, don't push yourself too hard. Everything is fine with Miss Ayu."

Just as Chi Jia finished speaking, a guard surnamed Chi came forward and presented him with something.

A small box was opened, and inside lay two sparkling white teeth.

One was knocked off by Xiao Ayu, and the other was recently lost.

“Miss Ayu threw one of them onto the roof and buried the other underground. Red Serpent brought them both over,” the guard surnamed Chi reported respectfully. “He also said that when the young master sees the teeth, it is as if he sees Miss Ayu.”

Qin Huai: “…”

Is he really that perverted?
Red Armor was trying not to laugh.

"Go back and tell Red Serpent that if he really can't stay there, he should come back!"

"……Yes."

After the guard surnamed Chi left, Qin Huai asked, "What's the significance of throwing teeth on the roof or underground?"
