Zhou Shuren faced an ancient exam for the first time and made a slight mistake, "Second place."
Zhulan was surprised, "Who was first?"
Zhou Shuren, while removing his clothes, said, "Someone from another village, 22 years old, took it three times already."
Zhulan couldn't help but laugh. That meant the other person had more experience. She took his clothes, "Where will the prefectural exam in April take place?"
Zhou Shuren replied somewhat unnaturally, "It will be held in Pingzhou. The prefectural exam is at the beginning of April and the college exam at the end of the month, both in Pingzhou, presided over by the academic administrator."
Zhulan calculated the days, "Wouldn't it be best to go to Pingzhou early, around the end of March?"
Zhou Shuren nodded, "Yes, when the time comes, will you go to Pingzhou with me?"
