"I'd like to take part in the Imperial Medical Bureau spring exam this year," Lu Tong looked at him.
Dong Lin was stunned.
As the name suggests, all the participants in the Imperial Medical Bureau's spring exam are students from the Imperial Medical Bureau. The students capable of studying at the Imperial Medical Bureau also mostly come from families with connections; if not high-class aristocrats, then at least descendants of minor officials.
Indeed, to demonstrate fairness, every year the Imperial Medical Bureau admits a few commoner doctors who are not students there for the spring exam. These doctors usually have many years of experience and are highly trusted for their medical skills in Shengjing. The Hanlin Medical Institute grants these doctors the chance to take part in the spring exam, potentially allowing them entry into the Hanlin Medical Institute.
But… Lu Tong taking the spring exam?
