Chapter 1196: Subsidized Elentary Scholar
Chen Liang’s words were baffling. Whether it was Gu Yundong, Shao Qingyuan, or the other fruit farrs who were collecting mooncakes, they all looked at him in confusion.
Chen Liang swallowed hard and repeated, “Your father, your father has won. He has beco an Elentary Scholar.”
Gu Yundong’s eyes lit up and she stood up imdiately. “Really? The rankings are out?”
Although she knew that her father was definitely fine, Gu Yundong was still extrely excited to hear such accurate news.
Chen Liang nodded repeatedly. “The result is out. I t the ssenger at the entrance of the village just now and they told the good news. I rushed back to tell you the great news first. Oh right, quickly prepare silver for them. The ssenger will be here soon.”
The onlookers were stunned, but they all understood now.
There was an uproar.
“Is Old Master Gu an Elentary Scholar?”
“Aiyo, this is really a great thing.”
“Congratulations, Boss Gu.”
“By the way, Village Chief Chen, what rank did Master Gu get?”
What rank? Chen Liang was stunned for a mont before he smiled awkwardly. “I… I was too excited. When I heard that Brother Dajiang had won, I ran back happily. I forgot to ask them.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. We’ll know when the ssenger cos later.”
Gu Yundong hurriedly asked Tong An to sit at the table and register the mooncakes while she ran into the house to get the money.
However, how could anyone be in the mood now? The queue that was originally well lined up imdiately dispersed. Everyone squeezed to the door and looked at the main road anxiously and expectantly.
This was a joyous occasion for Yongfu Village. Not to ntion Yongfu Village, how long had it been since an Elentary Scholar appeared in the vicinity?
There were only two old Elentary Scholars in the two neighboring villages. There were not many scholars left.
When Gu Yundong took out the silver, Gu Xiaoxi and the others had already heard the commotion and ran over.
They also squeezed to the front of the door excitedly with everyone.
Closer, closer, they could see the ssengers!!
Everyone was excited as they stared at the two officials who were approaching.
The two officials, who had been walking over happily with the gong, stopped in their tracks under such gazes. They held the sabers at their waists worriedly, as if these villagers would pounce on them and beat them up in the next mont.
Chen Liang said anxiously, “Brothers, this is the Gu family. The Gu Dajiang you ntioned is from this family.”
As he spoke, he turned around and waved at the villagers. “Hey, don’t block the door. Where’s Yundong? Why isn’t she here yet?”
Gu Yundong, who could not squeeze into the front, was speechless. It was too difficult for her.
Fortunately, the crowd quickly dispersed from both sides.
The two officials heaved a sigh of relief. They were holding a post to announce the good news. When they saw Gu Yundong walk out, they asked, “Is Gu Dajiang here?”
“Sir, Gu Dajiang is my father. He’s waiting for the day of the rankings after the Court Examination in the prefectural city. He hasn’t returned yet.”
“I see.” The official almost nodded.
“Then we’ll congratulate Miss Gu here first.” Then, one of them knocked on the gong and drum in his hand, and the other took two steps forward with a report and said loudly with a smile, “Congratulations to Master Gu Dajiang of Yongfu Village. You’re the fifth Elentary Scholar in high school.”
Fifth?
Gu Yundong’s face was filled with joy. With such a high ranking, it ant that he was a Subsidized Elentary Scholar.
