"If I were to place high in the future, would I not strive to stay in the Capital but be assigned to a county or town instead?" Tian Niu blinked innocently.
Zhao Jiangshui had no choice but to say, "If I could place high, of course, I would hope to stay in the Capital. Being assigned to a local post, I'm afraid, there wouldn't be much prospect for advancement."
A pang of pain tugged at Tian Niu's heart, and she said, "That's good, too. Otherwise, it would be quite dull for you to stay here."
Zhao Jiangshui moved his lips but ended up saying nothing.
Feeling her heart sinking, Tian Niu stood up, "Speaking of which, these days my mother has been matchmaking for me, saying it's best to marry me off next spring. When you return with your name written in gold on the list, I will just come to see you with my husband. After all, I have been your student, and it would give me face to say so later."
