Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
w.a.n.g Wulang could not wait to ask, “How is it, Uncle Fu? Did you find out anything?”
Chang Fu panted and said, “I heard that the Young Masters has pa.s.sed!”
“Pa.s.sed?! We really pa.s.sed?!” w.a.n.g Wulang jumped three feet high. After he was done, he asked, “Which Young Masters pa.s.sed?”
Chang Fu shook his head. “I-I didn’t ask.”
As he spoke, the messenger came to the w.a.n.g Family.
Pa.s.sing the county scholar exam was different from pa.s.sing the imperial provincial examination. The messenger did not make a big fuss about it and only held a few scrolls in his hand.
When he arrived at Old man w.a.n.g’s house and saw a group of youths, his eyes revealed envy.
Little Ah Yu had already run over. “Uncle, are you here to report? Have my Big Brothers all become county scholars?”
When the messenger saw Little Ah Yu, his eyes rippled with a smile.
He subconsciously said to Little Ah Yu, “They’ve pa.s.sed. Oh, not all of them. How many Big Brothers do you have?”
Little Ah Yu: “Seven. Six Big Brothers partic.i.p.ated in the exam. How many of them pa.s.sed?”
“Little lady, congratulations in advance. Your family has four county scholars this time!” The messenger smiled. “They’re all young and promising!”
Looking at these young men, all of them looked dignified. Who knew how many girls they would charm when they grew up?
Now that they had become county scholars so early, their future was limitless.
When the messenger arrived, the w.a.n.g Family couldn’t be bothered to continue eating. Everyone hurriedly invited him in, took the scrolls, and stuffed a few more pouches into his hands.
The messenger held the rather heavy pouches. There were five or six of them in one go, so he was naturally satisfied.
He even reminded them, “If your family doesn’t have any plans yet, you can go to the county office to look for Lord Top Scholar. Lord Top Scholar will be staying in Yongding County for 10 days. At that time, if you want to go to the prefecture city or other places to study, you can ask Lord Top Scholar to help introduce you.”
This Top Scholar was from Hundred Flowers County and was in charge of hosting the examination in Yongding County.
Everyone thanked the messenger before taking the scrolls.
Four scrolls represented four spots for the county scholar.
Other than w.a.n.g Liulang, the other five youths were extremely nervous.
Which unlucky fellow actually did not pa.s.s?
It was fine if all of them did not pa.s.s, but now, only one person did not pa.s.s.
How embarra.s.sing.
w.a.n.g Wulang turned his head and said to w.a.n.g Qilang, “Seventh Brother, it doesn’t matter if you don’t pa.s.s. We’ll wait for you in the prefecture city.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Old Madam w.a.n.g chant w.a.n.g Qilang’s name.
“w.a.n.g Zilan is ranked 30th this time.” Old Madam w.a.n.g handed the scroll to w.a.n.g Qilang.
Madam Zhang wailed and turned around to lie on w.a.n.g Chuanyuan’s shoulder, crying uncontrollably.
“Alright, it’s a good thing that the child can pa.s.s, but you’re crying. You should be smiling!”
Madam Zhang whimpered. “Can’t I cry?”
Little Ah Yu also wanted to laugh. Just as she smiled, she felt a leak in her mouth and hurriedly closed her mouth.
She took out the gift she had prepared from her pocket and handed it to w.a.n.g Qilang.
“Congratulations, Big Brother Seventh.”
w.a.n.g Qilang took it and smiled when he saw that it was a beautiful goat-hair brush with a bun at the top.
“Thank you, Little Sister Ah Yu. I like it very much.”
w.a.n.g Erlang and w.a.n.g Sanlang had also pa.s.sed the exam, and w.a.n.g Erlang had even gotten third place this time.
Old Madam w.a.n.g smiled. She gave him a rare praise. “Not bad.”
Two years ago, he could not even count correctly, but now, he could get third place. This was not only because of his talent and diligence, but also his own will.
He was a promising talent..
