Chapter 549 (1/2)

The emperor thought about it and then asked, ”is there any merit?”

”No ”The gentleman returns a few months ago

The emperor was surprised, ”only a few months?” He thought that Nangong's family education was so strict that even a mentally handicapped child could be taught to such an extent.

Nangong Yue calmly nodded his head and said, ”my brother was thinking about” Youxue ”when he was injured. Since then, he has been reading” Youxue. ” Unfortunately, at that time, even a Book of ”children's learning” had been taught for six years. ”Until a few days ago, my father began to teach him the book of songs and Mencius again.”

The emperor couldn't help exclaiming, ”if it is really a smart child.”

Nangong Yue almost couldn't stop tears. When her brother was injured, she was still young and had no deep memory. This was the first time that she heard someone praise his wisdom. She bent her knees and said gratefully, ”thank you for your praise.”

Nangong Xin also followed her salute and said, ”thank the emperor!”

”In this case, I'll give you a favor.” The emperor thought for a while and said, ”let him take part in this year's children's test.”

Different from the previous dynasties, there was a child examination before the county examination, which was regarded as a threshold for selecting students. Only after passing the child student examination could they be regarded as having the qualification to participate in the imperial examination, which can be said to be a very important link. The registration of Tong Sheng will usually take place one year before the examination, and the Nangong government will have missed the examination, and the next one will be three years later. Now the Emperor gave such a grace, but Nangong Yue was overjoyed.

Nangong Yue doesn't care whether Nangong Xin can be tested out. At least, with the emperor's grace, Nangong Xin will no longer be a ”fool” in the eyes of outsiders.

She took Nangong Xin to salute again: ”thank the emperor!”
