Thinking of the Wang family and the other four major families, Jiang Bai had an idea.

Is the autumn imperial examination held once every three years?

Not understanding why she suddenly asked about the imperial examinations, Ji Yanwen nodded.

When are the exams held each year?

"August."

"So, it means I can't take the exam this year?" It's almost October now; if I could take the exam, I should have been anxious by now.

"The next autumn imperial examination will be held next August."

Ji Yanwen carefully concealed the dagger in his sleeve, and dared not reveal any of his thoughts.

August? That's less than a year away now, it's time to start preparing.

"Does the county school start in October?" she asked.

Ji Yanwen was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.

"Are you planning to send me to school?"

"No, you took the entrance exam yourself."

"If I remember correctly, a Xiucai is the same as a Shengyuan, right? The county school is exactly the kind of school for Shengyuan. Since you're going to take the imperial examination anyway, going to the county school is perfect."

Sending people away will reduce some trouble.

"Didn't you say I have no connections? Then you should work harder, study hard, and try to become a high-ranking official so you can protect me."

He thought she had forgotten about it and planned to tell her after he recovered in a couple of days, but unexpectedly she brought it up on her own initiative.

They had been married for several months when they encountered the autumn harvest, then the drought, and then the refugees and assassins. In just two or three months, the situation was more exciting than the three years he had spent in hiding.

"Come on, start copying!"

Jiang Bai picked up the three hundred thousand coins from his desk and handed them to him. He took them blankly and asked, "Copy what?"

"Of course, you should copy the Three Character Classic, the Hundred Family Surnames, and the Thousand Character Classic. That way, after you go to school, Er Ya and A Wen can use these books to review."
