Song Jing had told Ji Huan that the results of the county exam would be out within five to seven days.
'By my calculations, that should be around the twenty-first or twenty-second of August.'
It was only a few days away, but Song Jing still hadn't returned.
'Knowing his personality, he definitely wouldn't stay in Yeyang to wait for the results. He probably went back to the academy in town to prepare for the upcoming prefectural and provincial exams.'
'He can actually settle down and study, completely unaware of how many people out there have lost their appetites. They probably won't get a wink of good sleep until the day the results are posted.'
But if Song Jing wasn't worried, there was no need for her to worry needlessly either.
'In a few days, we'll see if any good news arrives in Dafeng Village. The outcome will be clear then, won't it?'
