As long as one got an A, they passed.
Zhao Xing hadn't expected Zong Shichang to also get a lower A.
Although he couldn't speak, Mr. Zong at that moment exuded a sense of pride, his chest puffed out straight.
If not for being forbidden to speak, he would've surely called over the servants to distribute some celebratory money.
"Four out of fifteen passed, almost a third, which aligns with the ratios of previous years," Zhao Xing thought.
Although the questions were harder this time, the court's acceptance ratio didn't fluctuate too much.
As for the other departments, Shen Zhui from the military department also got an upper A, with eighteen people getting A in total.
Ten people from the Ritual Hall.
Eight people from the Heavenly Workshop got A, and six from the Weaving Bureau.
Only two from the temple.
