Wu Chaoping jumped to his feet, seeing only an endless sea of heads. He sighed, "The candidates' list won't be posted until noon. Why are they coming so early?"
Hu Zhonghua laughed, "If it's okay for you to come early, why wouldn't it be okay for them?"
They all chatted in small groups about whether they would pass the examination or not. Wu Chaoping couldn't help but imagine, "Hu, I am confident that both of us will pass. Where do you think we will stand in the ranking?"
If they passed at this point, it would signify that they were Imperial Scholars.
After the Palace Examination, after the Number One Scholar, the second, and the third, there would be a list of Imperial Scholars and their peers.
Anyway, as long as one's name was on this red list, they would be qualified to become an official!
The rank at this time was also essential when chatting and comparing ranks with fellow officials in the future!
"Stay humble, we might not even pass!"
