There were far too many people in the private room. A table set for ten couldn't even accommodate them all.
Luckily, the adjacent room was connected to theirs. The two spaces were joined by an ornate, floor-to-ceiling partition, with a beaded curtain of jade and pearls hanging in the doorway, glittering in the sunlight.
A few of them took Sheng Kaolin and moved to the room next door.
Once they were gone, Wang Jun and the others began to talk.
They were discussing Chen Yan Nian.
He was twenty-two years old and from Wantong Prefecture. His father was none other than the Magistrate of Wantong Prefecture himself.
The young man was said to be exceptionally gifted. He had repeatedly placed first in the county, prefectural, and qualifying examinations, a true prodigy in every sense of the word.
