Another spring imperial examination, which occurs once every three years, has arrived.
Kexin knows that Brother Minmin is going to take the exam, and she prays that Cousin Brother Min can succeed this time. She even went to the temple to worship Manjusri Bodhisattva and the Wenqu Star for Brother Minmin.
When An Zhichen found out, he was filled with jealousy: "It's often said that girls turn outward. The marriage hasn't been settled yet, and she's already eagerly praying to Manjusri Bodhisattva. That's why sons are better." When a son gets married, the wife is brought into the family; when a daughter is married off, she becomes someone else's, and her heart turns away.
Yueyao couldn't help but smile as she listened to this sour tone, saying, "It's just a prayer to Manjusri Bodhisattva and the Wenqu Star, how did it turn into a son and daughter issue!"
An Zhichen knew he couldn't reason with Yueyao because she couldn't understand his sad feelings at that moment.
