Chapter 191 There are only 11 scholars in the town this year!
Chapter 191 There are only 11 scholars in the town this year!
The children ran around excitedly, with innocent smiles on their faces.
"A scholar has emerged from Jiangjia Village..." The bailiff shouted this sentence again and again, his voice loud and powerful.
Although the villagers knew that a scholar had emerged in Jiangjia Village, they did not know who this scholar was.
They were guessing and discussing, hoping that the person in front would reveal the answer.
When Jiang Xue heard the news that someone had passed the imperial examination, the first people she thought of were the gentlemen in the academy. After all, they were very knowledgeable.
But then, she also thought of her younger brother Jiang Yu, who had also recently taken the scholar's examination.
When Mr. Jiang heard someone shouting that someone in the village had passed the imperial examination, he immediately jumped up from his chair and ran out in a hurry.
His face was full of excitement and excitement, and he was eager to know who this scholar was.
"Who is it? Who is the scholar? Who passed the exam to become a scholar?" Old Master Jiang grabbed a man who had just come out of his house and asked anxiously.
"I don't know. Someone is shouting at the entrance of the village!" The man answered blankly, obviously not clear about the situation.
"Who passed the imperial examination?" Old Master Jiang continued to ask, his voice full of anticipation.
"I don't know, is there a mistake? How could someone in our village become a scholar?" The villagers talked about it and felt a little bit unbelievable about this sudden good news.
Seeing that he could not get to the bottom of the matter, Mr. Jiang respectfully stepped forward and asked the yamen runner: "Sir, who in Jiangjia Village passed the imperial examination and became a scholar?" His tone was full of respect and expectation.
"Jiangjia Village, Jiang Ziyu, the new scholar!"
Ok?
Jiang Xue happened to walk past the yamen runner, and her mind was not on who would pass the imperial examination.
However, when she heard the voice "Jiangjia Village, Jiang Ziyu, the new scholar!", her steps stopped involuntarily.
She turned around and looked at the yamen runner in shock, her eyes full of confusion and surprise: "Who are you talking about? Who passed the imperial examination?"
She couldn't believe her ears and asked again, "Is it Jiang Ziyu? My brother Jiang Ziyu?"
After receiving the affirmative reply from the yamen runner, Jiang Xue was extremely shocked. She had never thought that her younger brother, Jiang Ziyu, who was only eleven years old, could pass the imperial examination! This was simply a miracle in her eyes.
"Sanniu, it's Yu'er! Yu'er passed the imperial examination and became a scholar!" Old Master Jiang ran over excitedly with a proud smile on his face.
The "Zi" in Jiang Ziyu's name is a respectful title given to him by his master, to express recognition and respect for Jiang Yu's talent.
"Where is the scholar's home?" The bailiff looked at the villagers of Jiangjia Village and asked loudly, his face full of respect for the scholar.
After hearing this, Mr. Jiang immediately pointed in the direction of the village excitedly. Seeing Jiang Xue still standing there in a daze, he hurried over and grabbed her hand, "Sanniu, let's go home. Yu'er passed the imperial examination, and we need to go back and prepare."
Jiang Xue was pulled by Old Man Jiang, and finally she came back to her senses from the shock. Her heart was filled with joy and pride. Her younger brother Jiang Ziyu actually passed the imperial examination. This was a great joy. She hurriedly followed Old Man Jiang's pace, and the two of them walked towards home together.
Upon seeing this, the villagers followed Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Xue into the village. They wanted to witness this historic moment with their own eyes and celebrate together for the new scholar of Jiangjia Village.
After entering the village, the sound of gongs and drums from the government office became even more deafening and lively, adding a festive touch to the originally quiet Jiangjia Village.
"Sir, it's just ahead. Our village academy is ahead!" A villager pointed ahead and shouted proudly.
"College?" Several people from the government office looked at the college in front of them and were surprised. This college was magnificent and imposing, and its scale was so large that even the colleges in the prefecture could hardly compare with it.
Seeing this, Mr. Jiang immediately came forward enthusiastically and kept introducing their academy to the people in the government office: "Sir, although our Jiangjia Village is small, our academy is not small at all."
Mr. Jiang's words made the people in the yamen take a new look at the academy, and they all expressed their praise.
"It seems that Jiangjia Village is really home to hidden talents. With such an academy, it's no wonder that it can produce students who can become successful scholars." A person from the yamen exclaimed.
The sound of gongs and drums was deafening. Jiang Yu, who was reading a book in the house, had already heard the noisy sound.
"Yu'er, why are you so noisy?" Jiang Wang looked at Jiang Yu with a hint of confusion on her face.
As the sound got closer, it was followed by rapid knocks on the door.
Jiang Wang opened the door curiously. At this time, all the Jiang family members in the yard came out and gathered at the door curiously.
"Who is Jiang Ziyu?" the bailiff asked the people standing in front of him, searching the crowd with his eyes.
"It's me." Jiang Yu stood up, his voice firm and clear.
His aura at this moment is very different from usual. In the past, he always had the image of a well-behaved, sensible, soft and cute little boy, but now there is a seriousness on his face, and his temperament seems different from others, even with an inexplicable nobleness of a wealthy family.
The bailiff looked at Jiang Yu and was also surprised.
He originally thought that Jiang Yu was just a country boy who was lucky enough to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, a clichéd plot of a golden phoenix rising from a poor family.
But at this moment, when he stood in front of Jiang Yu, he felt a temperament different from that of ordinary country people.
If he was not standing on the territory of Jiangjia Village, he would probably have thought that this was a nobleman from some city who had passed the imperial examination.
"Who passed the exam and became a scholar?" When the three scholars who were in class heard the news, they hurried over regardless of the students who were still in class.
Their faces were filled with surprise and expectation. It was obvious that the news had caused a huge sensation in the village.
"Congratulations, Mr. Scholar, for winning the title of Scholar with the top score. You are also the only Scholar in the town this year!" The voice of the yamen runner echoed in the yard. His face was filled with a joyful smile, and he held a cloth roll in his hand, which was the Scholar's certificate.
Jiang Yu took the scroll from the yamen runner, his face was expressionless, he looked very calm. But when he turned around and handed the scroll to Jiang Xue, tears flashed in his eyes.
"Third sister." He called softly, with a hint of trembling in his voice.
Jiang Xue took the scroll and looked at the tears in Jiang Yu's eyes, feeling an indescribable excitement in her heart.
She knew how much effort and sweat her brother had put in for this moment, and she also understood the hardship and difficulty behind these tears.
She hugged Jiang Yu tightly, letting her tears fall and mix with her brother's tears.
