Chapter 1956: Deserve the prosperity of his family
The day of the results announcement finally arrived.
Before daybreak, Su Laosi, with huge dark circles under his eyes, secretly ran to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall to wait for the list of winners.
The other members of the Su family appeared calm, but Old Man Su sat in the hall, drinking pot after pot of tea.
A pair of eyes glanced at the door from time to time.
Finally, he could no longer sit still, so he put his hands behind his back and strolled to the gate of the mansion as if nothing had happened.
Although his family has already produced a top scholar, who would complain about having too many top scholars in the family?
If his grandson can also get the first place this time, maybe his family will have another top scholar.
It’s exciting just thinking about it!
Old man Su would never admit it. If he hadn't been acting like a Duke, he would have gone to look at the list long ago.
At this time, the person who remained calmest was the young scholar Su Chengyao.
Ever since he heard what his aunt said at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, the young scholar's mentality has changed.
Just as my aunt said, everything he has learned over the years is already stored in his head.
That is your greatest wealth!
A wealth that no one can take away!
Naturally, he did not harbor any lofty ideas, and he was determined to uphold the character of a scholar and not rely on the favor of his elders.
If he failed the exam, he would accept help from his family, seek an official position and embark on a career in politics.
He has seen the beautiful rivers and mountains, and witnessed the world's fireworks and the sufferings of the people.
He wants to speak up for the people and bring peace to the prosperous era!
"Brother Chengyao, aren't you nervous?" Princess Zimo asked Su Chengyao curiously.
She was a little nervous.
If Brother Chengyao hadn't stopped her, she would have been waiting at the place where the notice was posted.
The young scholar shook his head calmly.
"Not nervous."
Rankings are not the only way to achieve his ambitions.
He was grateful to his elders for giving him the confidence to pursue a career in politics and realize his ambitions no matter what.
Since the goal can be achieved in the end, why should he be nervous?
When Princess Zimo heard this, she looked at Su Chengyao with admiration.
"Brother Chengyao, you are so awesome!"
Su Chengyao: "..."
Being looked at like this by Princess Zimo, his ears felt a little hot.
He knew in his heart that if their family did not have his aunt, his fifth uncle did not become the top scholar, and his grandfather was not a duke, their family would still be an ordinary farmer in Daliushu Village. He would probably be so nervous that his palms would be sweating.
At this moment, he actually felt more deeply the class gap and the difficulties faced by students from poor families.
Su Chengyao didn't know how much benefit his realization at this moment would bring to poor students all over the world.
“I got it…I got it…”
When Su Laosi's loud voice reached the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Old Man Su almost jumped up.
"Old Four, did you really win?!" Old Man Su grabbed Old Four Su's collar and asked anxiously, "Which place?"
"First place in the first class! Dad! He's the champion! Your grandson also won the championship!"
Su Laosi's eyes lit up and his voice almost reached the sky!
The champion!
This is his son!
My own son!
His own son won the first place in the imperial examination!
"Hahaha... I, Su Laosi, have made it! Hahaha... my son won the first place in the imperial examination!" Su Laosi laughed out loud.
Old man Su couldn't hold it anymore.
"Hahahaha... My grandson won the first place in the imperial examination... Hahahaha... Come on! Quick, set off the firecrackers!"
Low profile? That's impossible!
He wanted to tell the whole capital about this great happy event!
Soon, the sound of firecrackers "crackling" rang out.
The entire Duke's Mansion was filled with jubilation.
"Congratulations, Master..."
"Congratulations, ma'am..."
The masters were delighted, and the servants were naturally happy as well, congratulating them in unison.
Old man Su waved his hand.
"Hahahaha...rewards...there are rewards..."
The servants were even happier when they heard this.
Old Mrs. Su also smiled from ear to ear.
My grandson is really great!
Even more ambitious than his son was back then!
After all, the grandson is younger than his son was when he passed the exam.
Princess Zimo grabbed Su Chengyao's hand, jumping and shouting excitedly.
"Brother Chengyao, you won... you won..."
Su Chengyao couldn't help it at this time. His eyes were shining with stars and his little face was flushed with excitement.
"Hmm! Got it..."
Although I had a stable mentality and confidence before, who doesn't want to get a good ranking? Who doesn't want to be rewarded for their hard work? Who doesn't want to enter the official career with integrity?
Mrs. Su was so happy that tears fell from her eyes.
"Wow... Auntie... Thank you so much..."
Mrs. Su Si grabbed Tang Bao's hand, crying and laughing.
Tang Bao was also very excited.
"Fourth sister-in-law, it's Chengyao's own efforts."
"His hard work also depends on the luck you gave him." Su Sisao sniffed and said stubbornly, "There are so many hardworking scholars in the world, but there are also so many who are unlucky during exams and encounter all kinds of troubles. It's all because of your protection, little girl, that he can have smooth sailing."
As soon as Fourth Sister Su finished speaking, the other members of the Su family nodded in agreement.
Especially Su Chengyao, his nod had the largest arc.
"It's all because of my aunt's protection of my nephew." Su Chengyao said sincerely.
Tang Bao: “…”
Can we not be metaphysical?
Tang Bao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The sound of gongs and drums could be heard outside the door. The reporting officials came riding on tall horses, beating gongs and drums.
Behind the reporting officer was a large crowd of people watching the fun.
"The Duke of England's Mansion...we are going to the Duke of England's Mansion..." someone shouted.
"Oh my! This Duke of Ying's Mansion is truly remarkable! Another champion has emerged..."
"That's right! Back then, Prince Consort Su from the Duke of Ying's Mansion was also the top scorer..."
"The Su family truly lives up to its reputation as a century-old family of scholars..."
"What century-old scholarly family? The Duke of Ying's Mansion has long been independent..."
"That's also the direct bloodline of a century-old family..."
“That’s true…”
"I wonder how much the Su family regrets..."
"You deserve it..."
The people who were watching the excitement talked a lot and brought out the Su family from that year and whipped them.
After the reporting officer finished reading the good news, he immediately clasped his fists in congratulations.
"Hahahaha... Congratulations, Duke. Congratulations, Duke. Your grandson is so promising and talented at such a young age..."
I haven't read many books for the admission exam, but I have tried hard to memorize so many words of praise.
Old man Su was overjoyed and his face was flushed when he heard this.
"Hahahaha...congratulations to you all..."
Old Man Su once again said his favorite words.
The reporting officer: "..."
I instantly felt that my relationship with the Duke had become closer.
As expected, the Duke is the most approachable!
They deserve the prosperity of their family!
The Xia family, Prince Cheng'en's Mansion, Prince Ning's Mansion, the General's Mansion and other mansions all specially sent people to deliver congratulatory invitations.
Those official families who did not have close contacts with the Duke's Mansion also sent letters to express congratulations.
After all, everyone is happy to do things that add icing on the cake.
For a time, the Duke's Mansion was crowded with people and extremely bustling.
