Chapter 879: Chapter 879: Scumbag Brother and Scumbag Father, Get Lost (25)

"Young man, I forgot to ask, what’s your name?" Qiann Yan quickly turned the pages of the book and recalled the young man in front of her.

The young man hastily stood up and cupped his hands, "Yaan Huai."

Qiann Yan: "..." Very well, just casually picking someone can be a good choice.

Yaan Huai, this reminded Qiann Yan of "Yanhuai."

"My name is Meng Qianyan, and this is my sister-in-law, Xu Yunniang."

"Miss Meng, Sister-in-law Xu."

Both Yaan Huai and Xu Yunniang didn’t know why Qiann Yan was flipping through the books here, but neither said anything.

While flipping through the book, Qiann Yan was multitasking, searching her mind for memories of someone named Yaan Huai.

Based on the experiences across so many worlds, one could infer that this person’s experience was definitely extraordinary, often involving people who, like the original owner, had many regrets at the time of death.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before she found the memory of Yaan Huai in the original owner’s memories.

The current county she was in was called Baiyang County, and in the original owner’s memory, she heard the name Yaan Huai in the Capital City.

The place where the original owner was redeemed from the brothel and taken was the Capital City.

That was already many years later. One day, she overheard the maids in the mansion whispering about the third place in the imperial examination, Yan Fei, being trampled to death by a horse.

They incidentally heard about the background of this third-place winner. The maids couldn’t help but express their regret.

He went from being all alone, gaining the teacher’s favor, being allowed to listen to lectures from outside the window, to enduring countless hardships to gain fame, just when he was in his prime, he was trampled to death by a mad horse.

What a grievance, truly an injustice.

Later, people discussed that Yan Fei’s horse had been drugged to go mad. The emperor ordered a thorough investigation into the matter, but in the end, nothing substantial was discovered, and the matter was left unresolved.

Yaan Huai discovered something, Qiann Yan was almost turning a page with each glance, reading as if flipping through a toy.

He still didn’t quite understand her purpose and could only wait silently.

Thankfully, Qiann Yan read extremely fast, and these few books were quickly flipped through. When she closed the pages, both Yaan Huai and Xu Yunniang became tense, feeling that what she was about to say would be significant.

"Just now, I skimmed through all these books, memorizing them completely and comprehending their meanings."

Xu Yunniang was too shocked to speak, while Yaan Huai suddenly understood. Though astonished, he had already had his suspicions, so he reacted relatively calmly.

Since she could suggest him to study, even while dressed as shabbily as he was, she must have extraordinary skills.

"What do you think, about me being your teacher?"

Yaan Huai pressed his lips together. So that was it. Just as he was about to agree, believing the other party wasn’t joking around.

Outstanding individuals make the best teachers; as long as someone was more skilled than him, they could be his teacher, even if she was just a young girl of his age.

Qiann Yan, however, interrupted him, pushing the books in front of Yaan Huai: "Watch as I recite for you, making you willing..." to lay the groundwork for her future reputation.

If she could help Yaan Huai become a scholar, a successful candidate in the imperial exams, it would be enough to make a name for herself in this small county.

If Yaan Huai performed well in the future Imperial Examination, then becoming the teacher of countless scholars would be effortless.

The Yaan Huai in the original owner’s memory was the third-place candidate, indeed not necessarily less talented than a Champion Scholar. After all, when selecting the third-place scholar, sufficient talent was necessary, and the emperor would consider the candidate’s excellent appearance; as long as they looked exceptionally good, there was an opportunity.

She glanced at Yaan Huai, despite his young age and slight malnutrition, his inherent qualities were still impressive.

If his talent greatly exceeded others, the emperor wouldn’t just allow him to earn the third place because he looked too good.

Therefore, she undertook this task with the intent to groom Yaan Huai into a Champion Scholar.
