Chapter 163: First in the Spring Exam

The first round of the spring examination had already ended.

By the next afternoon, all the examination papers from various halls had been graded.

On the third morning, the list of those who passed the Book Department was posted on the wall outside the Examination Hall.

On the red paper, there were no names, only examination numbers.

From childhood, studying the Six Arts required a large investment of money, and even the registration fee for the spring exam was one hundred taels of silver.

Those who could participate in such exams were either rich or noble.

And the wealthy families often belonged to several major surnames, such as Li, Cui, Wang, Pei, Zheng, etc. It was quite possible for candidates to have the same names, but each candidate's exam number was unique and there could be no mistake.

Li Nuo was assigned to the Seventh Examination Hall for the spring examination.
