Chapter 278 - 278 274 Being Targeted
?Chapter 278: Chapter 274: Being Targeted Chapter 278: Chapter 274: Being Targeted The days quickly passed by as Xuanbao diligently ascended the mountain daily to study, soon arriving at the day of the Imperial Examination Court exam.
Ruo Shui and Ruo Jiang had both passed the county and prefectural exams and were only participating in the court exam as Scholars.
Therefore, they needed to finish the court exam before they could attempt the provincial exam. The child student exam was held a few days before the provincial one; those who passed could proceed to the provincial exam, and after passing that, they would wait for the imperial examinations to continue their trials.
Ordinarily, the provincial and court exams did not coincide, with the provincial exam occurring once every three years at the end of autumn, whereas the court exam was held every year in April or May.
However, this year was exceptional, as the Imperial Court had scheduled an additional court exam for reasons unknown.
Some said it was due to the reconquest of Nanyu Island, which led to a shortage of officials, hence giving child students an extra opportunity. But many found this explanation unconvincing, arguing that even if one passed as a Scholar, there was no guarantee of becoming an Advanced Scholar.
In truth, there was only one reason: the Empress Dowager had the Emperor specially arrange this extra session to give Ruo Shui and Ruo Shan a chance to take part in next year’s imperial examinations.
As a result, exam venues for the court exam were established only in Shaxi County and the prefectural city of Shengping Prefecture.
Upon receiving the news, many child students came to register, causing the exam venue to overflow with candidates.
Since Ruo Jiang had broken his leg on his way to participate in the child student exam in the past, and now the family owned a bookstore and a Princess Residence in the city, there was no need to rush into the city anymore.
At that time, Ruo Jiang thought that as the county town was not far from home, he could simply wake up early and head to the Imperial Examination Court, never expecting that an accident could occur on a path he had traversed thousands of times.
So when the brothers Ruo Jiang and Ruo Hang took the provincial exam, the entire family made a move to the city, and early in the morning, Madam Liu, Madam Jiang, along with Ruo Hai and Ruo Chuan took the children to escort their father to the exam venue.
