Forget about the young one, he was still a child.

The older one was a good seedling. He heard that he was already a scholar and passed the preliminary exam.

Although Xiao Qing was only Madam Li’s husband’s nephew, Madam Li had nurtured him with great care.

However, it was understandable. Anyone would nurture such a good student.

If they were nurtured, the returns would be great in the future.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Hu’s eyes moved.

“This time, if Madam Li can make a great contribution, it’s not impossible to send Young Master Xiao to the Imperial College.”

Although the Imperial College had strict requirements, it wasn’t so difficult for the children of court officials or nobles.

In addition, if the emperor allowed it, the students could be exempted from the examination.

Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.

“Qing’er won’t be used to life in the capital. According to him, he was doing well in Nan’an County’s Academy. The headmaster and his classmates have taken good care of him.”

“Moreover, my mother loves him very much. She doesn’t want him to be too far away.”

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

“Also, he is still young. It’s good to let him hone himself for a few more years.”

Eunuch Hu was stunned.

“Do you mean that Young Master Xiao did not participate in this year’s Fall Quarter Examinations?”

The Fall Quarter Examinations would only be held once every three years.

Young Master Xiao had passed the first three examinations. At this time, shouldn’t he take advantage of his momentum and give the Fall Quarter Examinations a try?

Even if he didn’t get in, gaining experience was still good. After all, it only happened once every three years.

If he didn’t go on stage this time, it would be three years next time.

Looking at Eunuch Hu’s regretful expression, Lin Xiaoyue smiled and nodded.

“He is still elated from passing the examinations. It’s good to let him be happy for a while. I don’t want him to feel defeated so quickly if he failed the examination.”

Eunuch Hu understood.

It turned out that Madam Li was worried that Young Master Xiao would fail and affect his confidence.

That’s right, the young man’s mind was not firm enough.

It would be good for him to maintain his current confidence and continue to study. When he had more knowledge, he could participate in the next Fall Quarter Examinations.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Hu also understood Lin Xiaoyue’s thoughts.

He knew that Lin Xiaoyue wanted to maintain Xiao Qing’s confidence.

Under such circumstances, sending Xiao Qing to the capital to attend the Imperial College was indeed meaningless.

After all, only by staying in a small place could one gain confidence. After all, not everyone wanted to be a phoenix tail.

Maybe, after the next Fall Quarter Examinations. Even without him mentioning it, Madam Li would think of a way to send Young Master Xiao to the capital.

Eh, Young Master Xiao is really lucky. With such an aunt who has plans for him…

“Young Master Xiao is truly blessed to have you.” Eunuch Hu smiled. He did not mention the Imperial College again.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled again.

“Qing’er is my family. Isn’t it my duty to care for my family?” She replied gently.

Eunuch Hu’s heart softened when he heard these words.

At first, he thought that Madam Li supported Young Master Xiao because she valued Young Master Xiao’s talent. Now, it seemed that he was being petty.

She really treated her husband’s nephew as family.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Hu couldn’t help but feel curious about Lin Xiaoyue’s husband.

Previously, according to the information he had heard, her husband was a brute man, and he used to be a slave. As for Young Master Xiao, he was also a slave, and it was Young Master Li who brought him to the Liu Family.

He was a little surprised when he heard the news. He thought that Madam Li was probably a shameless and vulgar woman.

He did not expect Madam Li to not only be beautiful, but she was also eloquent. She was so sophisticated

He wondered what kind of person Young Master Li is? He was actually able to catch Madam Li’s eye and make her value his nephew so much.

Following that, Eunuch Hu and Lin Xiaoyue chatted happily.

Along the way, Eunuch Hu also explained to Lin Xiaoyue some of the local customs of the capital, as well as some folk stories.

Finally, after crossing a few streets, the group arrived at the posthouse.

Eunuch Hu personally arranged for Lin Xiaoyue and the others to stay in the posthouse.

He also instructed the person in charge of the posthouse and the servants to take good care of Lin Xiaoyue.

“Please stay temporarily in this posthouse. I will return to the palace to report. Presumably, the emperor will soon summon you.” Eunuch Hu bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue hurriedly returned the greeting.

“Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch Hu.”

“No, it’s what I should do.” Eunuch Hu smiled gently.ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.nᴇt

Then, he left the posthouse.

Lin Xiaoyue sighed before letting Zhao Shanshan and Fan Teng go out to pack their luggage.

Unexpectedly, just as the two of them left, Li Xiao rushed over and closed the door..
