Chang Xhong came very quickly. The Retired Emperor had just entered the Imperial Mausoleum, and everyone in the Zhou family remained very low profile, avoiding going out unless necessary recently.
Zhou Shuren gestured for his son to sit, "Were you just reading a book?"
Chang Xhong noticed the letter on the table, "Dad, who is the letter from?"
"A letter from our hometown. There are children in our clan who are going to take the Scholar examination. Ming Qing asked about your situation. If you're taking the exam, he could make some arrangements."
Chang Xhong said nothing but observed his father's white hair, which wasn't as much at the beginning of the year.
Zhou Shuren continued, "Dad respects your decision."
Chang Xhong withdrew his gaze, smiled, and said, "Next year, I'll return to take the Scholar examination."
Zhou Shuren asked, "Not feeling pressured?"
