Zhulan smiled, "You are very aspirational in this dynasty. I don't know how many scholars regard you as a role model!"
Zhou Shuren chuckled, "I just caught the right opportunity. If I had taken the imperial examination two years later, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today. It's all about being at the right place at the right time and having the support of the people. Missing any one of those, I wouldn't have reached my current achievements."
Zhou Shuren paused and then continued, "However, my fame is quite high. As I made my rounds, I received many admiring glances."
Zhulan laughed, "Go change your clothes and get ready for dinner."
Zhou Shuren, "Yes, my lady."
In the county seat of their old home, in the backyard of the county government office, Magistrate Dong had just received a letter delivered by express courier and his hands trembled after reading it.
Lady Donglin expressed her concern, "Did something happen to Chu Chu?"
