Time flew swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, it was April once more, ushering in another annual provincial examination. Thankfully, due to Zhou Shuren's scholarship policy, this year there were quite a few candidates from Lizhou Province sitting the exam for Scholar, not all of whom were originally from other regions coming back to take the test.
Of those who passed the preliminary examination, a hundred were selected, from which thirty were conferred the title of Scholar. Compared to Jiangnan, Lizhou Province had a relatively high success rate.
Zhulan wasn't overly concerned with the examination; she was more attentive to Lady Li's growing belly. Lady Li had been pregnant for over nine months now, and the birth was imminent.
Even though Lady Li had already given birth to three children, Zhulan remained worried.
