Chapter 623 Heading to the Imperial College (3)_1
Pei Qin chuckled at him.
Fang Liuming had no interest in the fine sons-in-law from all the families; he only wanted one person. Now, with a sigh of determination, he returned to the county school. Aside from writing to Pei Qian every few days and seeking Mo Heng’s advice on anything he didn’t understand, he devoted himself entirely to preparing for the imperial examinations in the spring.
At home, Pei Wenli hosted a gathering to thank his teacher and meet friends. Hearing that Fang Liuming had returned to the county school, he sneered and packed his bags for Lushan Academy. The knowledge of the teachers in the county school was limited; continuing to study with them meant reaching only so far. To pass next year’s imperial examinations, one needed the help of a Great Scholar and a consort.
Shen Songming sent more items over, two large boxes full of gifts for his goddaughter Jiujiu’s first birthday. He also arranged for Fang Liuming and Fang Fu to enter the capital. He had already spoken to the Imperial College and secured their admission.
The Fang family was overjoyed at such a rare opportunity. Although the capital was thousands of miles away, being able to enter the Imperial College was a dream for many scholars. Graduating from the Imperial College would make it much easier to participate in the imperial examinations in the spring.
Fang Fu, who had been considering giving up on the exams, felt his blood surge with excitement. "With such an opportunity, I’ll try one more time!" he said.
Fang Liuming was happy, but he knew this meant he would be far away from his hometown. After this, Mu Xiu would be unable to return to the town, and even sending letters home would be difficult. Seeing Pei Qin raise an eyebrow at him, he clenched his teeth. "I’ll go pack my luggage right now," he declared.
