Chapter 43: I Can Help You_1

Wei Jinyi is not even a student, let alone having taken the exams necessary to become a scholar, let alone a degree holder.

He has not taken any exams.

Though he is an unloved illegitimate son, if he wanted to take the exams, surely Wei Mingting and Mrs. Yun would agree. After all, it would be an honor for the family if he were to succeed.

"In the past, I had no interest in it." Wei Jinyi replies.

"In the past?"

"Yes."

"And now?"

"There has been a slight change."

"Are you thinking of taking the exams then?" Wei Ruo asked.

Wei Jinyi is just sixteen now. It might be a bit later than his half-brother Yichen, but in an era where scholars took exams for life, it wasn't considered too late.

Wei Jinyi didn't respond to that. Instead, he asks about Wei Ruo's situation, "I heard mother is arranging for you to take classes at the magistrate's office."

"Yes, I hope she does it slowly." Wei Ruo replies.

"You don't want to go?" Wei Jinyi asked.
