Hearing the sound of gongs and drums, Su Youmin and Mrs. Su looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.

At this time, Song Yun led a few officials to announce the good news, followed by dozens of onlookers.

Song Yun said happily as he walked: "Mom and Dad, the official officer has come to announce the good news to you and your two elders."

An official stepped forward, looked at Su Youmin and Su Youmin with a smile and asked, "Are you two Su Muqian's parents?"

Su Youmin nodded hurriedly and said in an excited voice: "Sir, we are Su Muqian's parents."

With that said, Su Youmin was about to bow.

The official quickly supported Su Youmin and said, "No way, your master, Su Muqian, is the head of the high school examination case. We are specially ordered by the county magistrate to come to announce the good news."

Su Youmin grabbed the officer's arm with his backhand, and his breathing became rapid.

"What hit my son?"

"Your Majesty is the head of this court examination." The official said with a smile.

Su Youmin was stunned for a moment, then trembled all over and said: "Did you hear that? He was hit by the river! He is still the head of the case! Hahaha, my ancestors of the Su family bless you! The eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, prepare things quickly and open the altar Worship the ancestors!”

Song Yun and Mrs. Zhang responded excitedly and quickly went to prepare things.

Su Youmin and Mrs. Su were crying and laughing, completely forgetting that their official duties were still there.

Su Meihua reacted quickly and quickly took out the red envelope she had prepared and handed it to the official.

"My lord, as a courtesy, I would like to invite you and a few adults to have tea."

The official pinched the red envelope, then smiled and said, "I won't be polite, madam."

At this time, Su Youmin and Mrs. Su also reacted and hurriedly confessed.

The official didn't dare to ask the two to apologize, so he quickly stopped them.

"I have to go elsewhere to announce the good news, so I'll take my leave first."

Su Youmin originally wanted to stay with a few people for a cup of tea, but when he heard this, he hurriedly sent them out with Mrs. Su.

After seeing them heading towards the village chief's house, Su Youmin guessed that the village chief's grandson Su Yan had also passed the exam.

Sure enough, the village chief came after a while, with a smile on his face that couldn't stop.

"There are people, where is Dahe?"

"Dahe is the head of the case." The smile on Su Youmin's face also couldn't stop.

The village chief exclaimed. He just saw the person announcing the good news coming to Su's house first, and he guessed that Su Dahe did better than his grandson in the exam.

But he didn't even dare to think about the case.

"Dahe didn't study for three years and even passed the criminal examination. I'm afraid this top scholar won't be able to escape in the future." The village chief said with emotion.

Su Youmin's smile deepened, but he said modestly: "It's all Dahe's good luck. How did your Su Yan do in the exam?"

When he mentioned his grandson, the village chief suddenly became energetic and said with a smile: "He got the 18th place in the exam. Although he is not as good as Dahe, but I am satisfied."

"Su Yan is not bad. If you give him another two years, he might do better than this time." Su Youmin praised sincerely.

You must know that Su Yan is two years younger than Su Dahe. Although his ranking is low this time, his future is unlimited.

The village chief smiled and nodded, then remembered his purpose.

"Our Su family has two scholars this time. I plan to set up a few tables in the village to make everyone happy. What do you think?"

Su Youmin had this idea, and after hearing what the village chief said, he hurriedly agreed.

"I think it's okay. I'll do as you say, village chief."

The two talked for a few more words, and just as they decided on the time for the banquet, Su Dahai and the others came back.

The village chief first congratulated Su Dahe and said a few words of encouragement before leaving.

As soon as he left, Su Youmin told him about the banquet.

Su Dahe smiled and said, "I listen to my parents."

He knew that Su Youmin was holding a breath in his heart. Back then, everyone in the village thought that he would pass the exam, but they didn't expect that his leg would suddenly be broken.

Seeing that he had no hope of taking the imperial examination, the village was full of cynicism. Even he knows that he hides in the house every day, let alone people like Su Youmin and others who work all day long.

If hosting a banquet this time can make the family feel relieved about this matter, then Su Dahe will support it with both hands.

After chatting for a few more words, when the family was about to eat, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

As soon as Su Dahai opened the door, a man dressed as a butler held his hands and said, "May I ask if this is Su Muqian, Su Xiucai's home?"

Su Dahai nodded and asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"

The man smiled and said, "We are here to congratulate Su Xiucai on orders from Yuanwai Liu."

After saying that, the man waved his hand, and the servants behind him filed in carrying various gifts.

Everyone in the main room heard the noise and came out quickly.

After seeing the dazzling array of things, everyone's eyes widened.

The man recognized Su Dahe, smiled, walked up and cupped his hands and said, "Su Xiucai, these are congratulatory gifts from my master Liu Yuanwai, I hope you will accept them."

Su Dahe didn't even look at it, and calmly said to the man: "Please take these things back."

The man was confused for a moment, "Scholars don't like these? I let people..."

Su Dahe interrupted him, "No reward for no merit. These things are too valuable, and Su deserves it. If you are worried about Mr. Liu being blamed, I will personally send the things back tomorrow."

The man looked hesitant. Liu Yuanwai sent these things to Su Dahe just to make a good relationship.

If you take the things away now, then this good relationship will not be formed.

But if Su Dahe waits to send it back in person, I am afraid that not only will there be no good relationship, but there will be enmity.

After thinking about it, the man asked someone to carry the things away.

After everyone left, Su Dahe looked at Su Youmin and said, "Will dad blame me for returning the things?"

The gifts given by Liu Yuanwai were worth a lot of money. If the Su family didn't squander it, it would be enough for at least ten years.

Su Youmin glared at him pretending to be angry, "In your eyes, are your father and I so short-sighted?"

Liu Yuanwai was obviously interested in Su Dahe's prospects, so he came to give him gifts. It was not worth it to get a favor just for such a small amount of money.

Don't underestimate favors, sometimes a small favor can cost someone's life.

Seeing that Su Youmin really didn't care about this matter, Su Dahe finally felt relieved.

The family had just finished lunch when they heard Su Mao say that the village chief had opened an ancestral hall.

After everyone in the village arrived, the village chief first asked Su Dahe and Su Yan to offer incense to their ancestors, and then, under the witness of everyone, he personally wrote on the genealogy that Su Dahe and Su Yan had passed the scholar examination.

After doing all this, the village chief announced that a banquet would be held at the entrance of the ancestral hall the next day to celebrate Su Dahe and Su Yan becoming scholars.

Everyone was excited when they heard that they wanted to eat.

After the Su family returned home, several more people came to give gifts, but they were all pushed back by Su Dahe.

Early the next morning, the Su family all got busy. Su Dajiang specially took a day off to help at home.

Thinking that Su Dahe had passed the exam, Zheng Wenchang happily granted his leave.

By noon, the whole village's banquet was ready.

After setting off the firecrackers, the village chief and several clan elders made some polite remarks before announcing that dinner was ready.

Su Zhaozhao had long been eyeing the pork knuckles on the table. As soon as he heard that dinner was about to begin, he immediately tugged at Song Yun's clothes in a hurry.

[Mom, I want to eat meat! 】

Song Yun picked up a piece of stewed meat and blew it a few times before putting it into Su Zhaozhao's bowl.

Su Zhaozhao couldn't hold the chopsticks yet, so he grabbed the meat with his hands.

Looking at the meat filled with soup, Su Zhaozhao opened his mouth and was about to eat it when a surprise sound suddenly came from his ears.

"Erya!"
