Chapter 500: Ah Yu’s Teeth

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Little Ah Yu hurriedly said, “You can’t fill your stomach with rice cake. Wait a moment. I’ve already asked Auntie Hua to help make another portion of food. It’ll be done in a while.”

“Eldest Young Madam, that won’t do. The bride can’t eat before the groom comes,” Haitang reminded her softly.

Little Ah Yu said, “I specially asked. Our village doesn’t have this rule. There’s only the rule that we can’t starve the bride! My new sister-in-law only entered today. If she cries from hunger, my big brother’s heart will ache.”

“But that’s against the rules.”

“I told you, I’ve asked!” Little Ah Yu was not too happy. Why was this new maid not as good as the previous one?

She said very seriously, “My Grandma and Old Master Hu have already said that if you marry into a family and don’t even have enough to eat, you’d might as well not marry. If on the day of the marriage, the husband is eating and drinking alone, but the wife has to suffer and starve in the room, that would be marrying the wrong person!”

“Achoo!” Far away in Wannian City, Qin Huai suddenly rubbed his nose.

Chi Jia stepped forward and draped the fox fur jacket over his shoulder.

“Young Master, it’s almost dark. Why don’t we rest and continue tomorrow?”

The imperial provincial examination was about to begin. Even Qin Huai, who was very confident, was studying the written examination diligently.

The imperial provincial examination lasted for eight days. It was a test for the body and mind.

He could not be careless at all.

Now, he was about to turn nine years old.

However, in the entire Great Chang, there was no nine-year-old child who participated in the imperial provincial examination.

Even if there was, they would probably be long dead.

No child could last eight days in the examination hall.

Qin Huai waved his hand. “Go to sleep first. I’ll continue studying.”

“Young Master, your knowledge level is already sufficient. In the previous poetry gatherings, there were scholars who praised your essay greatly. They all said that you’re very knowledgeable.” Chi Jia added, “However, there will be eight tests at that time that will last for eight days. Young Master, can your body take it?”

Qin Huai was really not confident.

But his gaze was on the table. There was an inkstone placed there. The inkstone was in the shape of a little rabbit hugging a carrot.

There was also a line of small words engraved below that said, “Thousands of miles in the sky.”

Little Ah Yue had specially asked Old man Wang to help her carve it. Although it was made of Nanzhu bamboo, it was especially ingenious. It looked similar to an inkstone carved from stone.

Other than this inkstone, there was also a water gourd and sound transmission grass.

Qin Huai could not bear to open them.

After listening, the sound would be gone.

“After we pass this exam, we’ll go to Nanhe Town.” In Wanning City, there were too many schemes.

He still had to go to Ah Yu’s side to feel happy.

Chi Jia: “Young Master, don’t force yourself too much. Everything is fine on Miss Ah Yu’s side.”

Just as Chi Jia finished speaking, the Crimson Guards came forward and presented something.

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

One was the tooth that was knocked off Little Ah Yu, and the other was new.

“Miss Ah Yu threw one of them onto the roof and buried the other underground. Chi She brought them all over,” the Crimson Guards said. “He also said that seeing Young Miss’ teeth like this is like seeing Miss Ah Yu.”

Qin Huai:”…”

Was he that perverted?

Chi Jia held back his laughter at the side.

“Go back and tell Chi She that if he really can’t stay there anymore, get back here!”

After the Crimson Guards left, Qin Huai asked, “What’s so special about throwing teeth on the roof and underground?”
