“Little Brother.”
When Yan Chu and the others came out of the ancestral hall, the female relatives in the family were almost anxiously gazing till their eyes were strained.
The triennial provincial imperial examination was held in the provincial capital. For the Yan family, the county town was already a very far away place, not to mention the provincial capital. Yan Chu went to the provincial capital with his schoolmates.
