Capítulo 345: A Smile

During their conversation, the prefectural magistrate's wife leaned in closer to Qin Zhenzhen and whispered, "Today's banquet will be attended by all the officials from the provincial capital, as well as wealthy businessmen."

"A High Scholar who is both handsome and of an appropriate age, yet unmarried, may very well find himself pursued as a son-in-law."

"Some of the top-ranked High Scholars have strong family backgrounds. Even if they are already married, officials or wealthy businessmen may still offer their concubines to them."

Qin Zhenzhen smiled and replied, "I've heard about all of this."

The High Scholar holding the top rank had an even brighter future. In the upcoming capital examination next spring, he was likely to secure a place on the coveted Golden List, a prospect that would elevate his status significantly.

The prefect's wife expressed surprise. "Aren't you concerned at all?"

Or had she not conveyed her thoughts clearly enough?
