In the capital city, there were suddenly bursts of noise from gongs and drums on the streets that had been busy with pedestrians for a while.
The people in the city were confused by the noisy situation, and they all looked outside.
"Congratulations to Mr. Bai Zhifan of Taihe County, Jizhou Prefecture for ranking fifth in the high school provincial examination, ranking on the red list, and leaving his name in history!"
On the street, a group of officials were passing by beating gongs and drums. The sound slowly reached the ears of the people around them, and people were immediately surprised.
"Passed the Provincial Examination? Oh, the good news of the Provincial Examination has come back!"
Only then did some people react and looked outside with excitement. At this moment, many people finally appeared on the street because of the noise.
The official's voice announcing the good news did not stop, and a new name rang out.
"Congratulations to Master Sun Fang of Shiyang County, Jizhou Prefecture, who ranked 455th in the high school provincial examination, ranking on the red list, and leaving his name in history!"
…
The official signed up one by one, his voice loud and clear, making people feel even more enthusiastic.
At this moment, Song Liangda had just followed two official servants into the city, and the team that was patrolling to announce the good news was passing by, and he could hear several official servants reporting their rankings.
Song Liangda couldn't walk immediately. At this moment, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and hurriedly walked forward, then listened with his ears raised, and did not forget to ask a few questions to the official next to him.
"Brother, how many names did my Song Mu win?"
"We don't know either. We only know that this time our Jizhou Prefecture has fifteen candidates, including Mr. Song!"
"Second Master Song, please go back with us first. If your family members are in Fucheng, a team will come to your door to announce the good news later. The prefect and Tixue will also come."
The two officials tried to persuade him, but Song Liangda refused. At this moment, he just pricked up his ears and listened.
Several names passed by, but Song Mu's name did not appear. Just when Song Liangda was getting a little anxious, the loud voice of the official announcing the good news came again.
"Congratulations to Songmu High School in Shiyang County, Jizhou Prefecture for ranking first in the Jia Shen Ke Rural Examination! Jiashen Ke Jie Yuan! Ranked first on the red list! Leave a mark in history!"
The official's voice was loud, and at that moment the surroundings seemed to be silent as promised, and the official's voice suddenly spread far and wide.
But the next moment, the roaring cheers suddenly erupted, and among them, the ones shouting the loudest were the students in the city who were eagerly waiting for them.
"What?! Did I hear that right?! Jieyuan?! Is there another Jieyuan in Jizhou Prefecture?!!!"
"Yes, it's Jieyuan! Song Mu of Shiyang County! This year's Jiangnan West Road Township Examination List should be called Jiashenko Song Mu List!"
"Wait a minute, Song Mu? Is that the case leader of our mansion last year?!!"
There was an excited discussion among the crowd, but the next moment it turned into exclamations, and the faces of the students were both surprise and surprise.
Next to him, Song Liangda, who had just heard the good news from the official, was suddenly startled, and then looked at the two officials next to him with some disbelief.
"You two, what you just read is my Song Mu's name?"
The two officers looked at each other, swallowed hard, and nodded blankly at this moment, but they saw Song Liangda's feet suddenly softening.
"Ah, Second Master Song."
The two officials were at odds and quickly supported Song Liangda, but they heard Song Liangda speak at this moment.
"Hurry, go back quickly, I want to offer incense to my ancestors. My Song family... after so many years... finally has another candidate."
"Still... Jieyuan."
When Song Liangda said this, he was almost crying. The two officials immediately picked up Song Liangda and left. However, several students nearby heard this and said suddenly.
"Ah, Xie Yuanlang's family is here."
When the people around heard it and looked at Song Liangda at this moment, they all immediately rushed towards Song Liangda. The admiration and admiration on their faces were beyond words. For a moment, the two officials were unable to move forward.
The leading official quickly shouted.
"Folks, please make way quickly. Second Master Song is still waiting to welcome you! Master Zhifu and Master Tixue are still waiting!"
After shouting a few words like this, several of the students reacted immediately and started shouting again and again.
For a moment, everyone hurriedly moved out of the way, but they immediately followed. People around heard that Xie Yuanlang's home was also in Fucheng, and they also gathered here. The scene was spectacular.
Regardless of whether a person attains enlightenment or ascends to heaven, in the Wen Dynasty, having a scholar in a family was already a matter of honor for the family. For ordinary people, if they could raise a son, it would be an even greater honor for their ancestors.
What's more, it is the leader of the people, and a province can solve the problem.
Song Liangda, whose steps became a little frivolous, was carried by two officials towards home.
Song Liangda's ears were buzzing with noise along the way, but Song Liangda was in a daze.
Finally arriving at the door of the house, the place was also surrounded by water. Zhu, who had come back first, saw Song Liangda being helped back and rushed towards him with tears in his eyes.
"Ms. Gong, you are back, Brother Mu... No, Jing Zhao is the winner! Number one."
As Zhu said this, Song Liangda also regained his breath, but at this moment, his back suddenly straightened up. Under Zhu's care, he calmed down and led the two officials in, then walked into the house and met him.
Zhu said.
"Madam, immediately take out all the copper coins we have saved these days. They will all be scattered by then."
When Song Liangda said this, he was extremely heroic. Mrs. Zhu also nodded, but she was too busy and dizzy. She didn't know what to do at this moment. Fortunately, the sisters-in-law from the next door family came into the yard to help at this moment.
Although they were not very familiar with the Song family who had just moved in, they heard that they were also from a family of scholars and they occasionally interacted with each other on weekdays. However, they never expected that a Jie Yuan would appear in this family.
The Gifted Scholar's Home is right next door, and they are grinning so happily that they don't know where to go, and they are even more willing to help.
Song Liangda was about to go in to worship his ancestors at this moment, but he heard a voice coming from outside the door, and the loud voice penetrated his eardrums.
"Good news! Good news, congratulations to Song Mu, the master of the Song family, for winning the first place in the high school provincial examination and winning the title of Yuan!"
At this moment, an official in bright red clothes ran from outside, holding a red scroll in his hand. When the people around him saw this scene, they immediately moved away.
Song Liangda's family hurried out and took the good news from the other party's hands with some trembling. Song Liangda's face turned red for a moment, and he slowly unfolded his hands, which started to tremble even more.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Song Liangda said three good words at once, put a piece of silver into the hand of the official who announced the good news, and immediately grabbed a large handful of copper coins brought by Mrs. Zhu next to him, and now he scattered the money wildly.
There were a lot of congratulations all around, but Song Liangda was in a very excited mood. At this moment, his whole body was extremely excited.
Not long after, the prefect Qiu Buchu and the Tixue Fan Zhengxiong also arrived, bringing with them a hundred taels of rewards from the government school, as well as a position in the secret government school. Song Liangda stood in the courtyard to receive all these, with great honor.
On this day, there were loud gongs and drums in the city, and there were also congratulations in Shiyang County.
In the Song family, Yaya Song Mingwei was talking loudly to several playmates about all the good things her handsome elder brother had done to her, while Mrs. Zhu was made red-faced by what the sisters-in-law next to her said about Aunt Jie Yuan.
Song Liangda and the prefect discussed changing cups and cups.
