Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wang 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 passed!”
“Passed?! We really passed?!” Wang Wulang jumped three feet high. After he was done, he asked, “Which Young Masters passed?”
Chang Fu shook his head. “I-I didn’t ask.”
As he spoke, the messenger came to the Wang Family.
Passing the county scholar exam was different from passing 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 Wang’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 passed. Oh, not all of them. How many Big Brothers do you have?”
Little Ah Yu: “Seven. Six Big Brothers participated in the exam. How many of them passed?”
“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 Wang 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 Wang Liulang, the other five youths were extremely nervous.
Which unlucky fellow actually did not pass?
It was fine if all of them did not pass, but now, only one person did not pass.
How embarrassing.
Wang Wulang turned his head and said to Wang Qilang, “Seventh Brother, it doesn’t matter if you don’t pass. We’ll wait for you in the prefecture city.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Old Madam Wang chant Wang Qilang’s name.
“Wang Zilan is ranked 30th this time.” Old Madam Wang handed the scroll to Wang Qilang.
Madam Zhang wailed and turned around to lie on Wang Chuanyuan’s shoulder, crying uncontrollably.
“Alright, it’s a good thing that the child can pass, 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 Wang Qilang.
“Congratulations, Big Brother Seventh.”
Wang 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.”
Wang Erlang and Wang Sanlang had also passed the exam, and Wang Erlang had even gotten third place this time.
Old Madam Wang 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..
