The next day, Zhang Jian heard some good news.
Shi Lun passed the examination held by the Cultural Institute and successfully secured a position, allowing him to stay in Haojing.
For this reason, Shi Lun was exceptionally happy. With three years of experience observing the administration of various departments, even if he were assigned a governmental position in the future, his prospects would be much higher.
In his joy, after nightfall, Shi Lun arranged a banquet at the Champion Scholar's Residence, inviting many contemporaries.
That night, many new advanced scholars were drunk to the point of being plastered.
Some were sorrowful, having not been admitted to the institute; some were disappointed, while others were simply happy for successfully securing positions and thus drank openly, making it easy to get intoxicated.
"It's not the wine that gets people drunk; people get themselves drunk!"
