Chapter 661: You Actually Turned in Your Paper Ahead of Time!

"How did it go? How did it go?" Qiao Xiaomai asked, one question tumbling over the other.

Tong Sanlang put his lunchbox on the ox cart and grinned, "Dean Gu was supervising the examination. He was standing next to me the whole time. I handed in my papers to him after finishing. From his facial expression, he seemed to be quite satisfied."

"Did he mark the papers then?"

"Yes, he takes care of all the exams in Huai'an County. He picks the top ten, then sends them to the Capital City for the emperor's review. If the emperor finds no problem, the Imperial List can be issued."

"No need to seal the exam papers?"

"There's no need to in Huai'an County. The emperor trusts Dean Gu very much."

"How wonderful," Qiao Xiaomai remarked somewhat wistfully.

Encountering Dean Gu was a stroke of luck indeed for the people of Bailu Town!
