Chapter 700 Father Who Cheated on His Daughter Found a Son-in-law (1)_1
The two police officers were indeed there to bring good news. After dismounting their horses, they first bowed to Mo Yan, the County Lord, and then cupped their hands towards Mo Qingze, greeting him with a "Scholar Mo", before respectfully presenting the celebration report to Mo Qingze.
Mo Qingze, with an indifferent expression, opened the celebration report and a trace of complexity flashed through his eyes upon seeing the ranking listed above.
Mo Yan didn’t notice the unusual look on his father’s face and hurried over to take a look. At the very top, he saw his father’s name and then right below, found the rank achieved—One hundred and first place directly controlled by Great Chu!
In the triennial autumn examinations, thousands of Scholars from Jing City usually compete, with the top two hundred being selected as Scholars. The one hundred and first position was neither good nor bad, right in the middle of the two hundred, but according to this ranking, it didn’t offer an advantage in the spring examinations the following year.
Considering the spring examinations were open to all Scholars of Great Chu, and Great Chu had fifteen prefectures, each providing more than two hundred candidates, who among those who passed as Scholars could be considered dull-witted?
Apart from a few Scholars who weren’t confident and preferred to wait another three years for the spring examinations, there would still be two thousand five hundred Scholars competing at the same time, vying for one hundred and three Jin Shi positions—the competition was undeniably fierce.
Mo Yan, unaware of the capabilities of the other students, couldn’t judge if his father achieved this ranking through normal performance or underperformance. However, to pass on the first attempt and be among the top two hundred out of three thousand Scholars was quite an accomplishment, fulfilling his father’s wish.
