The exams were next month, so countless scholars in the capital had been forgoing food and sleep, completely absorbed in their studies. They all hoped to successfully pass and earn a position.
Ye Jingyan himself wasn't particularly nervous. However, the atmosphere at the Imperial College was so feverish every day that it was difficult for him to find any peace and quiet.
Hearing Ye Chutang say this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"If this keeps up, maybe we should just send Xiao Wu to take the exam instead."
Xiao Wu, who was nibbling on a lotus seed cake, huffed at the suggestion.
"I-I'm not going... The shop... the shop can't spare anyone..."
Xiao Wu had no interest in fame or official ranks.
But she would never forget about earning Silver.
Ye Chutang spread her hands.
"Xiao Wu would probably be happier if we were talking about going to Wazhen."
Xiao Wu immediately nodded in vigorous agreement.
