Chapter 135: The Prefect

Fortunately, the officers didn't recognize him when they saw him. They only knew that there was a lord named Yun Huachun in his house, so they took a seat in front of him.

The family went shopping around and ordered some tea saplings, pomegranates, lychees and other saplings, spending a lot of money.

Yun Huachun counted his money bags. If he continued to spend money like this, he would really go down the old path of selling gold and silver in the space.

This is not for sale!

Making money is a small matter, but Yun Huachun still has something to do.

I have to go to the magistrate's house and trouble him.

So he brought some gifts and took his wife and daughter to visit the prefect.

This time it was much smoother than before. Yun Huachun was greeted after giving his name. The prefect who welcomed them in said he would come later.

Yun Huachun comes on the occasion of Mu Xiu.

After spending some time at the Sugar Shop, Yun Huachun figured out exactly which day he would have a holiday.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was greeted by the prefect in casual clothes.

Behind the magistrate was a woman of similar age, wearing a gold hairpin and shining with jewels. She should be the magistrate's wife.

The Yun family members went up to meet them one by one.

Although their family was dressed plainly, they looked different from ordinary people when they stood there.

"Baron Yun had not sent someone to inform me earlier, otherwise the food and wine would have been prepared a long time ago." Qiu Mingfeng said in a slightly disgusted tone, and walked to the main seat while welcoming Yun Huachun.

"I can't drink. I just come here to ask for help. How can I come here to eat and drink?"

"Eaters are short-tongued. I'm afraid I'll be embarrassed to say that I ate something from the house." Yun Huachun said with a smile.

A few people chatted in the front hall for a while and drank the tea brought by the maids.

Qiu Mingfeng led Yun Huachun to the study, while the prefect's wife led Wan Hongmei and her daughter into the backyard.

After entering the study, Qiu Mingfeng dismissed the maids and servants around him and asked several guards to guard the door.

"Baron Yun, do you have anything important to do with me?" Qiu Mingfeng asked.

Yun Huachun gave him a lot of surprises, and he was very eager to see Yun Huachun.

"To be honest, I am here for the imperial examination," Yun Huachun said.

"When I came to Nantong to register, I was listed as an ordinary citizen on the registration list. Although I had been admitted as a scholar before, the list had been lost..." Yun Huachun said.

Qiu Mingfeng sighed in his heart, what a big deal he thought this was.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone reissue this register to you..."

A baron is more valuable than a scholar. He believes in Yun Huachun and does not stick to such trivial matters.

"Sir, you have misunderstood me. I am not here to reissue the roster. I want to take the exam again..." Yun Huachun said.

When the roster is reissued, it is inevitable to ask in what year and month under which examiner did he take the examination.

Even though he still remembered it, it was all meaningless.

"Have you passed the exam once?" Qiu Mingfeng's smile faltered, a little confused.

"I forgot everything I learned before on the way to escape. I want to open a school to accept some students. If I can't produce real materials, I will definitely be laughed at by the students. I just want to take the test again, but I don't know what my test is.

Can people who have passed take the exam again..."

Yun Huachun said doubtfully. He searched through the memory of the original owner and found that he had never said this. He had doubts in his heart.

The examiner of the scholar is the prefect, so why don't he come and ask for clarification.

"According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, it is possible. There was an adult named Xu in the court, and his youngest son was the first in the exam. He was afraid that his young son was young and energetic, so he asked him to take the exam again, but he was still the first in the exam.

"

"It's just...this scholar is not so easy to pass..." Qiu Mingfeng said.

There are hundreds of thousands of people around Nantong Mansion, but there are less than a thousand scholars.

Hundreds of people come to take the scholar exam every year, but only twenty or thirty people can pass the exam.

He is not a person who bends the law for personal gain. He is just worried about whether Yun Huachun in front of him can pass the exam.

The purpose of studying and gaining fame is mostly to gain promotion to an official position, and Yun Huachun already has a title.

Not to mention scholars, even the seventh- and eighth-rank officials in the government would bow to him when they saw him.

"...Of course I know this, but once I had this idea, I refused to give up." Yun Huachun said.

It's just like the teacher's qualification certificate he has there. If he is admitted as a scholar, he will hold the certificate to work.

I didn’t take the scholar exam, so I didn’t feel confident.

"Although it was a few years ago that I took the scholar examination, at least I was admitted as a scholar, so it is quite familiar to me," Yun Huachun said.

There is still some knowledge left in his head, plus he has been studying hard these days.

Yun Huachun is still confident.

"Then... you can't start the exam from a scholar, you have to start from a boy student." Qiu Mingfeng stroked his beard and smiled.

"Yes!" Yun Huachun nodded.

First a child is born, and then one can become a scholar.

"This year's children's examination has been passed, you have to wait until next spring."

"I don't have anything to give to Baron Yun. I'll ask my servants to pack up some examination papers from past years. Baron Yun will go back and think about it carefully." Qiu Mingfeng's eyes lingered on the book shelf behind him for a moment.

He will not bend the law for Yun Huachun's personal gain. This examination question file is not unusual and is sold in bookstores in the city.

However, he does have some answer sheets from outstanding students, which are not available outside.

It would be a happy event if Yun Huachun could pass the exam. Even if he failed, he would still be a baron.

"Then I'll be in trouble, sir!" Yun Huachun bowed his hands and said in a salute, with crinkles of laughter at the corners of his eyes.

When he was worried about how to get some teaching materials, the prefect got them for him, which was really considerate.

The two of them were in the study room, talking about studying, taking exams, making candy, and growing crops.

Qiu Mingfeng suddenly reminded Yun Huachun: "It is better to find some nursing homes in Baron Yun's house!"

"There are many Fanbang people in Nantong City, and there were Ryukyu people stealing things a few days ago. The wealthy families in Nantong Mansion don't dare to have ideas about your family, but be careful of those Fanbang people..." Qiu Mingfeng warned seriously.

Yun Huachun nodded, "Thank you for reminding me, sir. I'll hire some guards who know how to box and kick when I get back."

He plans to study in the second half of the year, but his family has too much land for his wife and daughter to work on, so he originally planned to hire some help.

Yun Huachun had no intention of inviting the villagers.

Since I have seen a lot of the consequences of nepotism and know how serious it is, the second reason is that the people in the village are illiterate.

Managing the land is not just about looking at it, you need to be able to keep accounts and write account books.

This matter must be done immediately after returning home.

In the backyard, the prefect's wife took Wan Hongmei and her daughter to sit in the pavilion, looking at the garden scenery and chatting about household matters.

Next to the pavilion is the sparkling lake, with red and gold carp swimming freely in the lake.

There are many flowers planted on both sides of the courtyard. The wind is strong at the seaside, and when a gust of wind blows, bursts of pink petals fall down, and the fragrance is overflowing.

The path under the tree was dyed pink, and the carps in the lake would poke their heads out to eat the petals from time to time, creating ripples.

Yuntao fell in love with her at first sight, but she didn't know how to recite poems.

I can only sigh silently, it’s so beautiful.

The prefect’s wife’s surname was Bai, and the smile on their faces never stopped since she saw them.

I was afraid that the two of them would be too reserved and the topic would keep on going.
