"This General has a daughter in her prime years, who highly admires scholars, especially those who are talented. She has been asking me to find her a scholar husband..."

Soon, he put down the wine cup, glanced at "Guo Xian" from the corner of his eye, and said nonchalantly, "I wonder if Young Master Guo would consider settling down in Pingting County?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Tu's heart skipped a beat. He was shrewd; otherwise, he wouldn't have acted so quickly after discovering the loophole in the imperial examination system, which led him to Qingzhou to apply.
Similarly, he realized that an opportunity was right in front of him.
