"Congratulations, Brother Song. Congratulations, Brother Song." No matter how jealous or envious everyone was, they still went forward to congratulate Song Boyan. This was the right way to show their faces and build a good relationship.
Chen Yanwen stepped forward and patted Song Boyan on the shoulder, "Ziheng is amazing."
After the banquet, the emperor gave them a half-year vacation to return home to handle matters. For example, after passing the palace examination, they needed to go home to worship their ancestors. The distance of the journey varied. Those who were closer could return to Beijing earlier. Those who were not granted official positions could take the exam again in two days, and the emperor would grant official positions based on their ranking.

"Yeah." Chen Yanwen thought about it and decided it was okay. The money he brought this time was not enough to buy a house. It wouldn't be too late to arrange it after they came to the capital again.
