So of the examinees, particularly those from humble backgrounds with limited resources, found themselves compelled to return ho prematurely. The ten-day stay and als in the provincial capital had incurred considerable expenses.
Entering the ranks of High Scholars was the ultimate goal, and if they failed to secure a position, it would amount to a significant waste of ti and resources.
Furthermore, for those fortunate enough to pass the examination and earn the prestigious title of High Scholar, even upon returning to their hotowns, they would receive a grand reception. Local officials would joyfully present the silver awarded by the authorities and deliver the good news directly to their doorstep.
