Ru Yue's mind was as clear as a mirror. With Chu Ning'an's great talent, if no one was playing tricks behind the scenes in the Spring Examination ten months later, then there was a great possibility that Chu Ning'an would win the first prize and be among the top!
However, if there really is someone with ulterior motives playing tricks and making changes in secret, then the situation may be a different matter.
After a heart-to-heart conversation, Chu Ning'an finally resolved the knot that had been lingering in his heart.
He secretly swore that he would never let down the bright future that his mother had fought for him at the cost of her life, especially since from now on Ru Yue would be by his side in life.
He hurried to Xingzhi Book Garden with the letter sent by Magistrate Huo in his arms.
Regardless of whether his master could give him more substantial help in his studies, he felt that he must inform his master first about such an important matter.
Along the way, Chu Ning'an rode at full speed, not daring to delay for a moment, and soon arrived at the gate of Xingzhi Bookstore.
As soon as the doorman saw him coming, he immediately stepped forward warmly, took the reins with a smile, and let him enter the yard freely as if he were one of his own family members.
Mr. Wu was sitting at his desk, concentrating on reading the letter twice. After finishing, he couldn't help but frown slightly and began to ponder the cause and effect of this matter.
Although he did not serve as an official in the court, he was well aware of all the major and minor events happening in the court and was familiar with them.
In his opinion, this news has not yet been widely spread in the country. It must be internal information obtained by Magistrate Huo through some special channels.
"Ning An, this imperial examination was probably specially prepared by the current emperor to help the crown prince take power smoothly, and to train capable people for the crown prince's side.
This is undoubtedly a great thing for you!
Although the imperial decree has not yet been officially issued, the fact that my master and I knew about this matter in advance can be regarded as seizing the initiative.
"There are still four months until the autumn provincial examination. In my opinion, with your knowledge and solid foundation, it will not be difficult for you to successfully pass the provincial examination. As long as you work harder and prepare for the exam with all your strength, you may even be able to strive for a top five place!" Mr. Wu said meaningfully to Chu Ning'an.
When Chu Ning'an heard this, he couldn't help but feel grateful.
He bowed deeply to Mr. Wu with an extremely respectful attitude and responded in a resonant voice, "Thank you, Master, for your advice and trust. Ning An will definitely cherish this opportunity, prepare carefully, and live up to your expectations!"
Mr. Wu smiled and nodded. When his gaze fell on his favorite student, a look of satisfaction and relief unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
This child has been with me for two whole years. During this period, I only occasionally gave him some guidance and helped him solve some difficult and confusing academic problems.
Chu Ning'an's own foundation is extremely solid, and it is obvious that he has received careful teaching from a master.
Although he never mentioned his past experiences on his own initiative, Mr. Wu was clear-headed and naturally did not ask too many questions.
Thinking of this, Mr. Wu turned and walked into the study, and found the Four Books and Five Classics that he had carefully annotated over the years from the bookshelf. He handed them to Chu Ning'an solemnly, and repeatedly reminded him that he should focus on studying certain chapters and paragraphs.
Afterwards, Mr. Wu carefully selected a group of classic topics on policy essays, five-character and eight-rhyme poems, and classics, and asked Chu Ning'an to carry out targeted study and training based on these topics in order to better prepare for the upcoming imperial examination.
"Ning'an, for the next two months, you will follow me and study the topics of the autumn examination. After two months, you can go to the provincial capital to visit Magistrate Huo in advance and ask him to give you some guidance and suggestions. With your talent and understanding, it will not be difficult for you to get an excellent ranking." Mr. Wu said earnestly.
Chu Ning'an knew that Mr. Wu's words came from the heart and he was only thinking about his own future.
He did not use too many flowery words to express his gratitude, but simply bowed more respectfully with more gratitude in his heart.
After Chu Ning'an left, Ru Yue sat alone quietly in the study, her eyes wandering, as if she was lost in thought.
On the surface, she seemed to be daydreaming aimlessly, but in fact, her thoughts had already surged like the tide, and she quickly reviewed all the things she had experienced in the past two years in her mind like a movie.
I have to admit that the previous plan was progressing too slowly.
The court's sudden opening of the special examination really caught her off guard.
If Chu Ning'an were to take part in the Spring Examination, he would have to return to the capital, and then his true identity as the son of Marquis Wu'an would probably be difficult to conceal any longer.
The Emperor Chu's teacher has always loved his grandson and will definitely help him when the time comes.
But how would the Wu'an Marquis's family react? Especially the Wu'an Marquis... Thinking of this, Ru Yue couldn't help but frown and pondered in her heart.
How much help and support could she get from others? This thought kept circling in her mind.
She began to carefully recall the famous families she had come into contact with in the past two years.
But it only took a moment for a faint smile to appear on her lips.
Haha, it turns out that I am not completely alone!
As for the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, it is still unknown who will win in the end!
Thinking of this, she quickly picked up the pen and wrote furiously, and in a blink of an eye she had written several letters.
After sealing the envelopes, she called Yingping and Ying'an and told them to deliver the letters to the addresses written on the letters as quickly as possible.
"Yingping, when you see Uncle Wei, tell him that he can make all decisions on his own. If you encounter any difficult issues, you can inform me by carrier pigeon. As for you and Ying'an, you must stay by his side and obey his orders, no matter how big or small the matter."
Yingping and Ying'an have always been grateful to Ruyue for saving the lives of everyone in the acrobatic troupe, so they always obey her orders without any second thoughts.
Upon hearing her instructions, the two men immediately clasped their fists in salute and responded in unison, "Don't worry, young lady. We will definitely fulfill our mission and complete the task you have assigned us."
Seeing their resolute and decisive attitude, Ru Yue nodded with satisfaction, and then said firmly: "Go ahead, I will go there in person in less than a month."
