Bai Guofu had long heard that the ancient ancestors were particularly kind to exam candidates, and it seemed this saying was no exaggeration.
After thinking it over, Bai Guofu said, "Ancestors, how about we do this? Let Bai Yinyin go to the ancestral hall and kneel for a whole night, will that do?"
Bai Yinyin couldn't believe it, "Grandfather, you want me to kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole night? Don't you know I'm about to take the college entrance exam?"
That dilapidated place, with its mosquitoes aplenty and hard floor tiles, without even a spot to sleep — she had to kneel there all night?
Her grandfather must have been hexed by Bai Chuwei.
Bai Guofu rebuked her with frustration, "You should be grateful you're about to take the college entrance exam! Bai Yinyin, get yourself to the ancestral hall and kneel! I don't want to repeat myself."
