Although Uncle Mu himself did not even pass the imperial examination, he did not want his son to pass it. He hoped that his son would work harder and become a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations), so that their starting point would be different!
Jiang Shuyun understood Uncle Mu's thoughts. During his years at the academy, he had also learned some things about the ancient imperial examination system.
Mu Ziwen's policy essay was a little weak, but he might actually become a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations).
