Chapter 392: Chapter 393: The Famous Talented Young Lady and the Little Beauty
Qiu Ruyue shook her head, smiled, and said, “Princess, there’s no need to be anxious, I’m not blaming you. Alright, I will tell you everything that happened back then.”
Gazing out the window at a certain spot, she fell silent for a mont before she slowly began to narrate.
…I am the scene separator of that year (This is not Qiu Ruyue’s mory, but the events that actually occurred, making it more convenient and clearer to read)…
In Heijia City, the Qiu Family, though not wealthy, had two scholars and one Advanced Scholar in the household, so their life was decent enough, and they were a family served by servants.
Qiu Ruyue’s father, Qiu Dezhi, was the Advanced Scholar of the Qiu Family.
In his youth, having passed the Advanced Scholar exam, he never managed to rank as the number two or number three candidates in subsequent exams.
Let alone beco the top scholar.
Although he had perford better than the other two predecessors from the Qiu Family, he was still not satisfied and always hoped that soone from the Qiu Family could beco the top scholar.
However, his wife gave birth to a daughter.
For this, Qiu Dezhi felt regret for quite so ti, but fortunately, his daughter was clever and beautiful, and he soon grew fond of her.
Moreover, his daughter’s eyes, as bright and beautiful as the moon in the sky, led him to na her Qiu Ruyue.
And he taught her as if she were his son, mastering poetry, composition, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting from a young age.
At the young age of eight, she beca known throughout Heijia City as both a gifted young girl and a beauty.
Many families took a liking to her and wished to betroth their sons to her, waiting for her to co of age so they could marry her into their household.
Seeing his daughter so popular, Qiu Dezhi did not imdiately arrange for her to be betrothed but wanted to carefully select the right family and seek Qiu Ruyue’s opinion.
At the sa ti, he believed that Qiu Ruyue was too young to consider marriage, which seed a bit too early.
After much contemplation, Qiu Dezhi finally settled on his good friend He Manzhi’s son, He Jingran.
He and He Manzhi had beco friends.
One reason was that they were both students who had taken the exams at the sa ti and both had passed as Advanced Scholars.
Another reason was the similarity of their nas – Qiu Dezhi, who aid high after the harvest season and attained his wishes. He Manzhi, who bore his ambitions fulfilled.
