The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 466: The Shocked Tang Wenqian and His Mother

“That person, isn’t it, isn’t it the second girl of the Lu family?” Mrs. Tang grabbed Tang Wenqian’s sleeve in shock and rubbed her eyes.

At this hour, there were not many people outside the city.

However, the Shu family being exiled was such an eye-catching group, that it would still make the people who came and went stop. This included Tang Wenqian and Mrs. Tang outside the city.

As for Shu Yu, just as the short official had guessed, even though she was standing at the very back with her head lowered and her hair disheveled, she was still the most eye-catching one among the Shu family.

Therefore, the two people who had their attention on her immediately captured her appearance the moment she raised her head.

Mrs. Tang was not the only one who couldn’t believe it. Tang Wenqian almost couldn’t hold himself back and stepped forward.

It was the autumn examinations in August, and Tang Wenqian was here to participate in the provincial examinations. He had already arrived at the prefecture a month ago.

It was just that the Tang family was poor. Even if Tang Wenqian himself copied books and wrote to supplement his family’s income, he could not compare with some wealthy families, so he did not have a servant boy by his side.

He had originally planned to come to the city alone for the examination. However, the Tang family’s parents were worried. He would be gone for a month and a half. He had to do his final revision, prepare for the examination, and take care of himself.

How could he have the time to study when he was busy with trivial matters?

However, during those days, Father Tang had taken on a job that paid him well, so he couldn’t leave for a while.

Mrs. Tang volunteered to follow Tang Wenqian to the prefecture.

This was also Tang Wenqian’s first time participating in the provincial examination. Although he had asked the teacher about the situation, he still neglected it. For example…There were no more rooms in the inn.

However, since they would be staying in the prefecture for at least a month and a half, it would be more cost-effective to rent a small courtyard.

However, Tang Wenqian needed two rooms with Mrs. Tang. If the other students brought along their page boys, they could even rent a room.

They were already late, and there were hard conditions. They looked around but could not find a suitable place to stay.

Later, Mrs. Tang heard that some villages near the city were rented out, and the rent was cheap.

However, Mrs. Tang had some concerns. Moreover, the noise in the village would affect her son.

On the other hand, Tang Wenqian didn’t mind. His home was in Shangshi Village, and such an environment wouldn’t affect him. Moreover, since the other party was renting it out, he must have experience. He was not the only student rented in the village. Perhaps they could meet and exchange knowledge with each other.

Mrs. Tang was convinced and agreed. She went to the nearest village to rent two rooms.

The two of them lived outside the city, so it was quite quiet. They could even settle down and not be affected by the atmosphere in the city.

This stay lasted for a month, and the provincial examination began as scheduled.

The day before yesterday, Tang Wenqian came out after the last round of the exam. Yesterday, he rested at home for a day, and today he planned to go into the city to see the situation.

The provincial examination results would only be posted at the beginning of September, and they would stay here for more than ten days to wait for news.

Mrs. Tang hadn’t explored the city since she arrived. Now that her son had finished his exams, she wanted to go into the city to take a look and see if there was anything she needed to buy. After all, it was rare for her to come here. She could not come here for nothing.

Who knew that when they reached the city gate, they would encounter the exile team?

They naturally stood at the side to let them go first and sized up these people at the same time.
