Mrs. Jiang was well aware that so young scholars, even if they were a bit older, wouldn’t get married and would only keep one or two people in their rooms.
The reason being, after they succeed in the spring examinations and beco successful scholars, they would be sought after by high-ranking families to be taken as sons-in-law.
In the Capital City, there are such families with officials, where so nephews or sons are not promising. These families then, after the spring examinations, choose young and humble-background scholars to marry their daughters. Afterwards, the family’s resources in official circles are used to support the son-in-law, who then rises in prominence and can repay the family.
So are simply looking to find a good match for their daughters, looking for a young and handso scholar, and with so family support, in the future the son-in-law climbs step by step, making their daughter’s life easier.
For a young master like Mr. Jiang, with such looks and deanor, if he becos a scholar, he would be in great demand in the Capital City.
As for the Qin Family, they themselves don’t have any foundation in official circles, and her husband is keen on their daughter marrying into a prestigious family as an asset.
The support the Qin Family can offer a son-in-law is very limited, and if Mr. Jiang is wise, he probably wouldn’t agree to this marriage.
Qin Yan twisted and turned in her mother’s arms, "Mother, please agree, and don’t tell Father. Once the marriage is decided, he can’t do anything about it."
Mrs. Jiang scolded, "Nonsense, such a big matter cannot go unntioned to your father."
"When we return to the mansion, first have the servant send a letter to your father to see what he thinks."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yan quickly said, "Then don’t forget to heap praises on Mr. Jiang in the letter, Mother."
Reluctantly, Mrs. Jiang replied, "I understand."
"Oh, why did I give birth to such a silly girl like you."

Yun Jiao returned with nothing to do, so she went to the warehouse and started mixing flower dew in the pharmacy.
The flower dew is much simpler, making so pure dew, mixing in a bit of fragrance, adding mosquito repellent, and finally adjusting with distilled water, forming a bottle of mosquito repellent flower dew.
Yun Jiao made several different scents.
One sandalwood-scented bottle she planned to take to Jiang Youzhi at the academy.
The remaining twenty or so bottles, she planned for her own use and to sell in the store.
Yun Jiao worked all afternoon, and when she erged from the pharmacy, it was nearly dark.
As she opened the door, she saw Jiang Youzhi pacing outside, anxious.
It turned out that when it was near dinner ti, and she still hadn’t returned ho, Jiang Youzhi ca to the warehouse looking for her.
Uncle gestured for half the day before Jiang Youzhi understood. Yun Jiao was in the warehouse and hadn’t co out.
Estimating that Yun Jiao was still busy, Jiang Youzhi patiently waited for a while.
As it was nearly dark, the inside would only get darker. Since there was no light inside, he felt sothing might be wrong, so he called out to Yun Jiao several tis from outside the window.
Who knew that there was no response from Yun Jiao.
He was wondering if sothing might have happened to Yun Jiao inside, considering breaking in, when the door opened, and Yun Jiao ca out.
Seeing Jiang Youzhi’s anxious face, Yun Jiao felt a bit embarrassed, realizing that she had forgotten the ti while busy.
She quickly took out the bottle of flower dew she prepared for Jiang Youzhi from her bag, "This is for you."
Jiang Youzhi took it, surprised and delighted, "What is this?"
Yun Jiao, walking ahead, said, "Didn’t I tell you last ti, I would give you sothing nice, this is mosquito-repellent, anti-itch flower dew. Apply it on your body, it feels cool, and mosquitoes won’t bite you."
"If a mosquito does bite you, applying a little can also relieve the itch."
Yun Jiao specially emphasized, "You like sandalwood, don’t you? This one is specially made in sandalwood scent just for you."
