Lou Yunchun pulled her to sit down in front of the couch and talk.
"Well, there are few official vacancies, and there are only one or two lucrative ones. Everyone wants to get them, so the only fair way is to re-examine."
"Do successful Jinshi also need to be assessed?"
“Treat everyone equally.”
Therefore, passing the imperial examination is just another starting point. If you want to move up, you have to continue working hard.
Xu Jiang asked curiously, "Did your high school class also take the assessment?"
Lou Yunchun hummed, "Except for the three Jinshi who have passed the imperial examination and have been appointed by the Sage, the rest will need to undergo an assessment."
In other words, Lou Yunchun did not retake the exam.
"So what was your initial position?"
"Dali Zheng, after two imperial examinations, was promoted to Shaoqing. This is his second year as Shaoqing."
The interval between each imperial examination was three years. Lou Yunchun had been in office for seven years. Xu Jiang stared at him for a long while, then suddenly asked, "How old are you, Mr. Lou?"
Lou Yunchun was stunned, "You don't know?"
Xu Jiang was speechless, "How should I know? You never mentioned it." And no one had told her before. She just looked at his young age, so she always assumed that he was about the same age as her.
After a long while, Lou Yunchun said, "Twenty-seven."
"Oh..." Xu Jiang thought to himself: He is already twenty-seven. If other people's sons and daughters were twenty-seven, their children would probably be old enough to help with housework. In another seven or eight years, they might even have grandchildren.
Why did Lou Yunchun leave it to her?
Then he asked, "Do you know how old I am?"
"I know." Lou Yunchun nodded. "You told me that when Ma Twelve came to you." And it can also be deduced from the travel notes she wrote.
She is five years older than him.
Lou Yunchun's heart tightened, "You...care about age?"
Do you think he is old?
Xu Jiang snorted and tapped his forehead with his hand. "What are you imagining?"
This emotion seems to be newly born, incredibly pure and honest, how can she look like a 27-year-old?
Xu Jiang pinched his face and said, "You and I are the same, so don't look down on each other."
They are all difficult problems in the eyes of others.
Lou Yunchun pulled her into his arms and whispered, "I don't even have time to like you."
Xu Jiang's eyes lit up, "Say it again."
Lou Yunchun leaned over and touched her forehead, "I like you so much, how could I dislike you?"
Xu Jiang hugged him and smiled happily.
For a while, there was a drizzle outside the house and a warm and affectionate atmosphere inside the hall.
