Attending the imperial examination and getting into the top scorer was not something that could be done overnight.
Yang Huan was now an abandoned disciple of Mount Hua and had no source of income.
Even though Yang Huan was quite generous in the beginning, paying 30 taels of silver to hire a servant every month, according to his spending method, 300 taels of gold wouldn't last for more than a few days.
He still had to participate in the imperial examination later on. How much money and time would he have to spend was still unknown.
Therefore, he could not be so generous at the moment.
Bai Zhantang returned to the inn and immediately went to look for Lu Qinghou.
"Scholar, where can I buy the Four Books and Five Classics?”Bai Zhantang asked.
"Old Bai, why are you asking this? Don't tell me you still want to study?" Lu Qinghou teased.
"It's not that I want to study. It's that guest from before. He wants to study.”
"Guest? Is it the one who gave you ten taels of gold to buy a house?”
"That's right. After earning their money, it's only right for them to run errands for them.”
"This is interesting. Why would such a rich young master want to take the exam?”
Most of the scholars these days were poor.
If he was a young master from a rich family, although he could study, it didn't matter whether he got an official rank or not. After all, his family business was there.
However, these things had nothing to do with Lu Qinghou, so he didn't ask about it in detail. He said,"We don't have a bookstore in Qixia Town. If you want to buy these books, you'll have to make a trip to the Eighteen Mile Shop.”
"Alright."
Then, Bai Zhantang left for the Eighteen Mile Shop.
As the famous God Thief from a few years ago, his footwork was still very fast.
Eighteen Mile Shop was only fifty miles away from Qixia Town. With Bai Zhantang's leg strength, he could return in less than fifteen minutes.
……
Noon, Yang Manor.
The aroma of the dishes wafted out from the kitchen, making people drool.
"Young Master, it's time to eat."
Huang Rong roared, and Yang Huan immediately came out of the room.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Yang Huan's appetite was greatly aroused.
Although he hadn't eaten it yet, he knew that it was definitely delicious just by looking at the appearance and smell.
At this moment, Yang Huan also noticed Huang Rong.
At this moment, Huang Rong had already washed up and changed her clothes.
Even though she was still dressed as a man, her delicate and pretty face was enough to attract people.
"Let's eat together." Yang Huan called out.
"If we don't eat together, do you expect me to stand and watch you eat?”
Huang Rong smiled and sat down.
He did not realize that he was now a servant.
Generally speaking, the errand boy was not qualified to sit at the same table as his master and eat.
However, Yang Huan was not that particular. He hired Huang Rong as his errand boy was just a cover.
He was a man, and he hired a beautiful girl to be his errand boy. Did he really expect this girl to accompany him to study?
Wouldn't that be a waste?
"Young Master, are you really going to participate in the imperial examination?”Huang Rong asked again.
Even now, she still felt that Yang Huan might have lost his mind.
He clearly had great talent in martial arts, but he didn't practice martial arts and insisted on taking an official rank.
"Naturally." Yang Huan replied indifferently.
"Why? With your talent in martial arts, you can definitely become a grandmaster in the future. Why do you want to go to school?”Huang Rong asked in confusion.
She might not have realized that she had exposed too much.
Generally speaking, a little beggar shouldn't have such knowledge.
"What's the point of becoming a Grandmaster? Was he rich and powerful, or did he have a woman?”Yang Huan asked with a smile.
"Then, do you mean that you have money, power, and women just because you've obtained an official position?”Huang Rong immediately asked.
"If I'm lucky and become the top scorer and become the prince consort, wouldn't I have money, power, and women?”
"Uh…your idea is really…ingenious!”
Huang Rong shook her head helplessly, not knowing what to say.
She had not expected that someone would take the examination just to become the emperor's son-in-law…
In reality, the current Ming Emperor did not have any children, so he definitely could not be the Prince Consort.
However, Huang Rong was not a person of the Ming Dynasty, so she naturally did not know anything about the royal family.
"It's not easy to get an official rank. First, you have to pass the academy examination and become a scholar. Then, you can take the provincial examination and get into the Juren.”
"Xiao Huang, your next task is to help me figure out when the academy and provincial examinations will be held.”
When they were almost done eating, Yang Huan put down his bowl and chopsticks and handed Huang Rong this task.
It was indeed not that easy to obtain an official rank.
Although Yang Huan was a transmigrator, his knowledge of history was not bad.
He was still very clear about the process of the imperial examination.
To participate in the imperial examination, one must first pass the academy examination. After passing the academy examination, it would be the provincial examination.
Only those who passed the provincial examination and passed the imperial examination were qualified to participate in the general examination.
After the general exams, there was still the court examination. The court examination was the final examination to determine the top scorer, second runner-up, and the top scorer.
And this path was not easy to walk.
Who knew how many people had never been able to get into the High Scholar, let alone enter the top three.
However, the mission given by the system was to make him the top scorer. It was indeed a little difficult for him.
In the beginning, Yang Huan was still thinking of a word, thinking that as long as he was the top scorer, it would be fine, right?
Since that's the case, does it count as a pass if I become the martial arts champion?
Unfortunately, the system immediately rejected Yang Huan's idea.
Helplessly, the only way to obtain Dragon Essence was to study hard at the cold window…
