Reborn as a Farm Girl: Taming Her Vengeful Villain Husband

After the rankings were announced, the governor hosted another poetry recital, specifically for the Cultivated Talents of the year. The governor revealed the names of the Best Performers, and interestingly, only five of them managed to secure positions in the top ten of the institutional examination.

These top five performers received remarkable rewards. Not only did they receive a bonus from the governmental office, but they were also granted free admission to the prestigious prefectural school. Additionally, they were provided with a monthly living allowance. This meant that if they managed their expenses wisely, they wouldn’t need to burden their families with the cost of studying in the abbey.

Among the Best Performers, Su Bin secured the first rank, which was an impressive achievement. He held the top position on the Double List, which entitled him to receive the highest bonus of 100 liang. Moreover, in the county, he was entitled to an additional 50 liang. His exceptional intelligence allowed him to earn money by being a top student in ancient times, and this was indeed a fortunate advantage.

Adding to Su Bin’s resources, he had an additional 200 liang, thanks to a payment he received from that woman from brothel. Having 200 liang in his possession was no small sum.

Su Bin accompanied Qin Zhenzhen as they inspected the house and provided helpful references. Eventually, when both of them were content with the choice, Qin Zhenzhen made up her mind to purchase the property.

To proceed with the purchase, Su Bin offered his money to Qin Zhenzhen and said, "Use my money to buy the house."

However, Qin Zhenzhen disagreed with the idea and replied, "You should keep your money for your studies."

Su Bin explained, "I am studying at the prefectural school, and I don’t need to worry about tuition fees. Moreover, I receive a monthly allowance, so it won’t burden me much."

He also shared his plan of not living in the academy but instead residing at home, which was conveniently close to the abbey. At the academy, two people typically shared one room, so living at home would provide a more comfortable arrangement.

Although Qin Zhenzhen was aware that Su Bin would not return to the Marquis Mansion, she was still taken aback to learn about his decision to study in the academy.

Any college in the capital is better than the one here. Also, if you are the Young Master of the Marquis Mansion, you are qualified to join the Royal College."
