More than ten minutes later, Yao Feiran came out, but was caught by Yao Feng as soon as she reached the road.

"Where did you go just now? You scared me to death! Don't you know how many swindlers there are outside?" Yao Feng was furious, but he couldn't bear to hit Yao Feiran. If it were Yao Shuyan, he might have slapped her instead.

Yao Feiran: "Dad, I'll never run around again."

Seeing that she had her eyes open and looked ashamed, Yao Feng didn't say anything more. Yao Shuyan happened to run over and saw Yao Feiran beside him, which calmed his anxious mood.

He always felt that his younger sister wouldn't do something like running around so carelessly.

That evening, news came that Wen Yuan had fallen from the second floor of the inn and had been taken to a clinic.

Classmate Zhang Xiang ran over and asked, "Do you want to come with me to see Brother Wen Yuan?"

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhang, I have something to attend to and can't make it."

"it is good."

.....

When the county examination results were announced, Yao Feng saw that Yao Feiran was short and insisted on picking her up. Yao Feiran watched helplessly as she was lifted high into the air.

"Yao Shuyan, ranked first in the county examination."

"My son came in first place in the county-level exam!"

Yao Feng shouted, and Yao Feiran was quite shocked by the sound. Many people showed envy.

Yao Feng happily led the two back. Yao Shuyan kept reading. He felt that his parents had borrowed money everywhere to get this hard-won opportunity to take the exam. There were still the prefectural and academy exams to come. The road ahead was long and arduous. He secretly hoped to become a government-subsidized student and get subsidies from the imperial court.

Yao Feng glanced at Yao Shuyan inside the carriage but didn't say anything. They had kept the money a secret from Yao Shuyan, for fear of it leaking out.

I don't know who the hell is targeting their family.

Thinking of the dead giant, Yao Feng felt a renewed sense of doubt, wondering who had avenged him.

Yao Feiran thought that the other party was young and would suppress him, but unexpectedly he won first place in the county examination.

After returning home, Yao Feng told Song Yuwei the happy news, and the family slaughtered a chicken to eat.

"Now Shuyan is considered a student of the first level of the imperial examination. Back then, I had just reached the first level of the provincial examination when an accident happened. Shuyan, you are only eleven years old, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Yao Shuyan gave a forced smile. No pressure? Impossible. He had to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible to ease the pressure on his family.

Yao Feiran picked up a piece of chicken. With only two months left until the prefectural examination, Yao Shuyan could now be considered a student of the first level of the imperial examination.

Soon everyone in the village knew and came to join in the fun. Some even wanted to arrange a marriage for Yao Shuyan in advance, but Song Yuwei naturally refused.

After a long while, these people finally left.

Yao Feiran asked Yao Feng, "Father, do you know the owner of the Sanlin Pawnshop?"

"I know. He used to be from Qingping Village. His original name was Zhang Ergou. His biological father died early, and after his biological mother married into the village, he just wandered around and did nothing all day. Later, for some reason, he suddenly made a lot of money in business and settled in the county town. He even tricked the county magistrate's sister into marrying him."

After Yao Feng finished speaking, he asked in confusion, "Why are you asking this? This guy isn't a good person, I don't know why he's so lucky."

Yao Feiran thought to herself, "Of course he's lucky. Song Haitang's lackey is naturally rising to prominence. He's the one who bribed Wen Yuan."

"Just out of curiosity."

"Don't be curious. I told your mother about you running around before, and she asked me to call you over."

Yao Feiran: "......."

If I went there, I'd probably be subjected to a denunciation.

April arrived quickly. Originally, Yao Feng was unwilling to take Yao Feiran with him to the prefectural examination, but after Yao Feiran kept pestering him and promised not to run around, Yao Feng reluctantly agreed.

During the examination in the prefectural city, Yao Shuyan learned from his previous experience and became very cautious. He also declined his classmates' invitations and made sure to get enough sleep.

After Yao Shuyan entered the examination hall, Yao Feng took Yao Feiran for a stroll and bought her a lot of food.

"Mother should like this, Father. Why don't you buy it for her?"

Yao Feiran walked into a jewelry store and pointed to a silver hairpin. Song Yuwei was beautiful with thick black hair, and a hairpin would be the icing on the cake.

Although Yao Feng was tempted, he knew that every penny he spent was precious and he needed to be frugal.

"My elder brother will definitely pass the imperial examination and become a scholar. Everything will change then, and Mother will gradually grow old."

Yao Feng was slightly taken aback. When he married Song Yuwei, he was determined to make something of himself and at least show her the prosperity of the capital. However, a family tragedy occurred, and he lost his eligibility for the imperial examination. After that, he no longer dared to think about the future he had promised.

"it is good."

Yao Feng said in a hoarse voice, and finally bought the hairpin.

Yao Shuyan came out quickly.

"How is it?"

Yao Shuyan shook his head: "I don't know, but the question isn't too difficult. The essay question is about 'benevolence'."

Yao Feng seemed to remember something and smiled: "Of all human relationships, benevolence comes first."

The father and son began discussing the topic, and Yao Feiran did not disturb them, but went back to the room to continue writing her story.

That's right, there are quite a few storybooks in this world, and many young ladies in their boudoirs would secretly read them, such as stories of talented scholars and beautiful women.

The next day, Yao Feiran took Yao Feng to the bookstore. When the owner saw Yao Feng's face, he frowned slightly.

"Boss, I'd like to discuss a business deal with you."

"What brings you here, guest?"

"I have a storybook here; I would appreciate it if you could review it, sir."

Business was slow, and the boss, bored, flipped through the book. He was quickly drawn to its contents; it wasn't your average story of talented men and beautiful women, but rather a collection of fantastical tales about spirits and monsters, which was quite novel.

"Master, I'll come see you again this afternoon. Please take a look and see if this book is worth selling."

Seeing that the shop owner was engrossed in watching, the two quickly left.

Yao Feng asked curiously, "Can this thing make money?"

He originally wanted to take the imperial examinations, so he naturally looked down on this kind of thing. Most of them were written by impoverished scholars who had no chance of passing the imperial examinations. Later, Yao Feng also became an impoverished scholar and tried to write vernacular stories, but no one was willing to accept them.

Yao Feng was still somewhat unsure whether the story was written by Yao Feiran.

"It definitely can."

This was "copied" by Yao Feiran from ancient stories in her own world. Having withstood the test of time, it has left its mark on thousands of years of history, which naturally speaks to its extraordinary qualities.

In the afternoon, the three went over again. This time, the boss's eyes were bloodshot, and he pulled Yao Feng aside, saying, "Brother, where's the second volume of 'Tales of the Wilderness'?"

Yao Feng now felt confident: "I wonder if the boss would be willing to discuss this business with me?"

Yao Feng and the boss talked for a long time, with many back and forth, and finally signed an agreement to split the profits based on the number of units sold.

While waiting for the results of the prefectural examination, "Tales of the Wilderness" gradually became popular throughout the prefectural city, and many storytellers in restaurants began to tell this story.

Yao Feng also received a lot of money, and just then, the results of the prefectural examination were posted.

Yao Shuyan came in third place.
