Chapter 1 The Rainy Encounter
I had only been an ordinary person. After an unexpected transmigration, when my consciousness cleared, I discovered that my family had once been prominent.
But by my generation, I could no longer enjoy any of that. Although my family could not inherit titles, our assets were still substantial.
My parents were set on me taking the imperial examinations. It just so happened that before transmigrating, I had studied history.
So I held books and began studying hard. The imperial examinations in this dynasty were truly not easy.
Not only did the eight-legged essays hurt my head to look at, but even participating in the exams could be counted as a form of torture.
It was cold in winter and hot in summer, and the competition was much greater than the college entrance exam.
Fortunately, the heavens did not let down those with determination. I had cut through thorns and thistles all the way and finally arrived at the Palace Exam.
I was originally from Gusu. When I went to the capital for the exam, I happened to encounter heavy rain.
Coming down from the boat, the book boy quickly held up an umbrella. Who would have thought that a gust of strange wind would arise from nowhere and blow the umbrella away.
The umbrella landed right in front of a sedan chair, neither off nor on.
I quickly stepped forward, but I only heard a soft Wu dialect voice from inside.
"Give the young master a new umbrella. He is also someone taking the exam. Do not let him get wet and harm his body."
As soon as that voice came out, my body softened.
The sedan curtain was lifted a little, and I glimpsed half of a stunning face inside. I almost forgot to breathe.
Her servant handed me an umbrella and even glared at me.
I quickly said thanks.
When I looked up again, the sedan had already gone forward. I could only vaguely see a "Jia" character on top. A large group of people followed, clearly not ordinary people.
It must be a wealthy family.
