Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao slowed down the pace at which he was shoveling rice. He had not expected this to be the issue. Both at home and throughout the village, recent days had been filled with joyous celebration simply because Zhao Yan had passed the Xiucai (Cultivated Talent) examination, making everyone feel immensely proud. Yet the person directly involved was actually worrying instead. Having never studied himself, Zhao Gao found this a bit difficult to understand.
"How about..." Zhao Gao gathered his thoughts for a moment before speaking. "Whether you take the exams or not, your father has nothing to say against it. You know I don't understand any of these things. Mainly, Ah Yan, it depends on whether you actually want to continue pursuing the imperial examinations in your heart. The family has silver now, so don't worry about money matters. Your father and your mother are both right here. As long as you want to keep taking the exams, your parents will definitely support you." Fearing that Zhao Yan might be weighed down by financial concerns, Zhao Gao intended to reassure him in advance.
"Right, what your father said is correct. Your mother has no objections whatsoever," Madam Chen immediately chimed in.
