In such circumstances, Shao Liulang seemed inconsequential. While living in the capital held some significance, making a name for himself appeared unattainable.
Yet, Shao Yunduan found himself unexpectedly longing for him, despite their time apart.
Word swiftly spread to the village that Shao Liulang had ascended to the rank of Advanced Scholar and secured a position at the prestigious Hanlin Academy.
With the finesse of the Spring and Autumn Brush, he penned a letter bearing auspicious tidings.
Of course, he omitted his own achievement as an Advanced Scholar; such humility was customary.
To the villagers, the distinction of an Advanced Scholar might have been unfamiliar, but the stature of scholars was widely known. He couldn't risk losing face.
In his missive, he merely conveyed his success in the Advanced Scholar examination and his commendation by esteemed figures, leading to his tenure at the Imperial Forest Academy in the capital.
