Scholar Shang was very pleased to hear this, helped Gu Jin'an up, and said, "As your teacher, I believe in you. You will not waste the years of hard study."
The Jiang Family was very concerned about Gu Jin'an's participation in the county exam and came to see him off.
Jiang Dahu found it unbearable to see Scholar Shang and Gu Jin'an thanking each other like this, and said, "Stop thanking each other. Quickly take out the guarantee certificate, bid farewell to your parents, and hurry to line up at the Dragon Gate."
The exam venue for the county exam was called the Ritual Room, and the gate of the Ritual Room was called the Dragon Gate, which symbolizes the students jumping over the Dragon Gate like carp.
After hearing this, Gu Jin'an and the others quickly took out the guarantee certificate, deeply bowed to their parents who came to see them off, and expressed gratitude for their upbringing and nurturing.
