Shao Yun also wanted to stay with his brother; he didn't want to go back to school alone.

Jiang Shuyun and Mu Yi'an thought that Shao Yun had studied for so many years and it was time for him to relax, so they agreed to let him stay.

Jiang Shuyun was mainly worried that if she got busy, Shao Yun would be alone at home, and he wouldn't feel at ease.

This year, not only Shao Ming will participate in the county examination, but Shao Qin, Shao Ning, and Mu Xuan will also participate.

Next year, Mu Yang from the second brother's family and Mu Lin from the eldest brother's family will both have to try their luck.

Several children from Jiangjia Village will also be taking the county-level exam this year.

In short, this generation of kids has grown up and they all need to work hard for their future.

Mu Yi'an was not worried about Shao Ming's grades. He started learning at the age of four and formally became a student at the academy at the age of six or seven.

For the past six or seven years, I have been diligent and hardworking, and passing the county examination has been relatively easy.

The examination content of the county examination mainly included the Four Books, examination poems, Five Classics, poems, rhapsodies, policy essays, essays, theories of human nature, and imperial edicts.

The exam questions, poems, and essays all have certain formats and cannot violate the taboos of temple names (the names of deceased emperors), imperial names (the names of the current emperors), or the taboos of sages (the names of Confucius).

Shao Ming knew all of this by heart.

Mu Yi'an, along with Fang's wife, prepared a test basket for Shao Ming, bringing all the necessary items for the exam.

The food was all prepared, and it was all convenient and practical. Mu Yi'an and the others had experience with these things.

Everything is ready, and when the time comes, you can enter the examination room.

Shao Ming himself was quite calm; he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will pass the imperial examination and become a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the lowest level of the imperial examinations), and then he can study at Bailu Academy.

The young man stood tall and straight, dressed in scholar's robes. From the back, he gave off an air of refined elegance and unparalleled grace.

If you see his face directly, it's still a bit lacking; the child is still young, too immature, and has too much of a youthful vibe.

Hopefully, his future is bright!
