The Ministry of Personnel's exam only took half a day. Bai Erlang finished the exam today and got his results the very next day. Among the twenty-some successful candidates, he was neither at the top nor at the bottom; his ranking was decent.
But unlike Bai Dalang, who hurried off to wait for his appointment, after getting his results Bai Erlang did not go to the Ministry of Personnel. Instead, he ran home to find Mingda and dragged her out to the imperial estate.
If he went to line up for office selection now, and his father-in-law suddenly bestowed an appointment on him, should he report to duty immediately, or delay a couple of days?
So he was in no rush to wait for his appointment; he decided to rest a few days first.
From last year until now, he had been busy without a break. Even on the rare occasions he could go out and play, he did so with his heart in his throat and could not relax completely.
