While the Song Family and Prince Dingbei's Mansion were busy with the engagement, in mid-September, the Beijing Circle was buzzing.
The autumn examination results were released.
Song Ci had seen the anxiety of students waiting for college entrance exam results in a previous life and had read about the joyous news of top students online. Naturally, she had also seen the nervousness of checking exam scores.
But that was in the modern information era, where students could check from home. It couldn't compare to the thrill of the ancient imperial examinations results being released.
Thus, Song Ci took her grandsons early to secure a private room in a teahouse near the Imperial City, ready to experience the atmosphere of the results being announced.
The entire capital circle was buzzing with many noble sons participating in this autumn examination, filling the nearby teahouses and taverns to the brim.
