Chapter 54: Rare to be Confused
A year passed quickly.
The thirty-fourth year of the Kingdom of Jing.
Chu Xun was thirty-eight years old, and Huan'er was sixteen.
The prefectural examination was about to begin. The uncle and nephew, travel-worn and weary, bumped along in a horse-drawn carriage all the way to Fenggu City, over two hundred miles away.
Zhang Sanchun and Lin Qiaoxi didn't come. Firstly, they had to take care of the business, and secondly, they didn't want to bring too much pressure to Huan'er.
Besides, with Chu Xun accompanying him, it was more reassuring than anyone else coming.
If he could pass smoothly this year, he could participate in the college examination next year to win the scholarly honor of a Cultivated Talent.
The imperial examinations of the Kingdom of Jing were not like the previous dynasty, which held the county examination, prefectural examination, and college examination all in the same year.
One examination a year. Even if one didn't pass the next level, they didn't have to start over from the beginning, but it also delayed a lot of time.
