Chapter 42: Guan Jingshuo

Yueyao regarded the two youths as nothing, walking straight towards Ma Chengteng. Following behind, the Attendant Student carried more than a dozen books. The books previously selected had already been sent to the checkout counter.

The young man clad in a jewel-blue brocade robe couldn't help muttering when he saw Yueyao didn't speak, "Cousin, strange things happen every year, but this year seems especially full of them. What does a young girl need so many of the Four Books and Five Classics for? She doesn't have to take the imperial examinations. Just seeing those books gives me a headache." The books that the Attendant Student was holding were all for the imperial examinations.

Although the young master in dark clothes was also surprised, he said with a smile, "You can't talk nonsense. There's no rule saying that only men can read the Four Books and Five Classics."
