In Fengjing, there are at least 30 or 50 top scholars in the provincial examinations, not to mention the many more tribute students, Jinshi graduates, and high-ranking officials from all walks of life.
Speaking of this, Changyan suddenly remembered the agreement between the former prefect and Xu Mo.
He glanced over discreetly, "Has elder brother paid his respects to Lord Dou?"
The former prefect's surname was Dou.
Xu Mo put down the ancient book, considered for a moment, and then said, "Not yet."
It means that I will visit later, but it's not convenient right now.
What could be inconvenient about?
