Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Xuan was flattered. “You know how to please me! You also eat, don’t just concentrate on giving food to me.”
Shao Yunduan replied instantly. “You can feed me too. Anyways, you don’t need to please me. Everything I own is yours.”
Qiao Xuan smiled brightly. “That is cool! But my things are still my things!’
Shao Yunduan laughed. “Of course!”
The following day, Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao came to visit them, and did not leave until after lunch. Shao Yunduan spent the following few days keeping Qiao Xuan company at home.
Post that, having been invited by Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou, he went out to meet some other participants.
They talked about the result of the examination and everyone sounded hopeful. They kept discussing what the answers should be and who would be the Provincial Champion this time. There were numerous guesses going around.
Shao Yunduan heard the news but was not moved by these small rumors. There was no fluctuation in his heart.
He did not care about the rumors because he had access to the official channel to hear the truth.
If anything really happened, the Xie Family should definitely know about this and Xie Jingrong would not conceal it from him.
The date of the result was soon revealed. Everyone was talking about it. Some casinos even set up the bet about who would be the Provincial Champion. Many popular ones were ranked in the list.
Qiao Xuan looked at the list and found that Shao Yunduan was not included in the candidate list, in any of the casinos!
She felt really displeased. How could her husband not be mentioned in the betting list? Her husband was such a diligent and excellent man.
Qiao Xuan dressed up as a man and went to the biggest casino in the province. She did not place her bet on any of the candidates. Instead, she put forward the name of Shao Yunduan.
She bet that Shao Yunduan would become the Provincial Champion!
Qiao Xuan knew enough about the imperial examination. A Cultivated Talent was a very difficult level to achieve and the Recommended Man level would be even harder to reach.
The Advanced Scholar level was the most difficult, since the examination only took place once every third year. In the whole country, only 300 people were accepted. Just the name sounded so difficult!
Actually, she wasn’t sure if Shao Yunduan could become the Provincial Champion. If Shao Yunduan could achieve the title of the Recommended Man, he would be considered excellent.
Still, Qiao Xuan felt that Shao Yunduan’s intelligence should not be ignored. He deserved to be at least on the probable candidate list!
So, just for the talent of her husband and her belief in him, she was going to make a bet.
The owner of the casino looked at Qiao Xuan as if he were looking at an idiot. He laughed.
The others laughed as well.
“What is his name again?”
“l don’t know, never heard of him!”
“Well, maybe they have some news, maybe this man really has become the
Provincial Champion! ”
“That is impossible. It would either be Gu Yuan or Hu Zhonghe. No one else is expected to make it this time!”
Qiao Xuan remained unconvinced. “The result has not been announced yet. Anything is possible. You are drawing a conclusion too early. Shao Yunduan has always kept a low-profile and he is modest. I believe that he is capable.. Just tell me if I can make a bet here or not, if not, I will go somewhere else!”
