A car accident, our family of three crossed

Shangtang Village attached great importance to the announcement of today's results, especially the old clan leader, the head of the village, and some elderly elders in the village. Early in the morning, before Hang Shuheng and his companions went to the county town, they had already sent people to guard the county government office.

Therefore, before Hang Shuheng returned to the village, the news that he had topped the high school list had already been brought back to the village by someone.

The person who was sent to run errands was He Tiesheng. He drove a ox cart into the city early in the morning and took a few women from the village with him. Then he went to wait outside the yamen until the results were announced. He repeatedly confirmed Hang Shuheng's ranking and then returned to the village excitedly.

As soon as he got back to the village, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Good news, great news, Shuheng passed the exam and ranked first."

This voice was shouted from one end of the village to the other. Before long, the good news that Hang Shuheng had won the top spot had spread throughout the village.

Master Liu and Wang Jin were standing outside the gate of the primary school. When they heard the good news, they couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with joy.

"You are worthy of being called Shuheng."

"Brother Hang really lived up to everyone's expectations."

Top of the list, that’s the top of the list!

Being able to pass the examination and become a scholar is already very impressive, and the one at the top of the list is the most impressive one among a group of impressive people.

Master Liu turned around and went back to the school. He had to share this good news with the children and take this opportunity to encourage them.

No matter whether you are a student, a scholar, a juren, a jinshi, or even a zhuangyuan, you have to start from a young age.

If he teaches these children well, who knows, he might be able to produce a scholar out of them in the future!

Wang Jin looked up at the sky and slowly exhaled. His one hundred taels would soon become five hundred taels.

This happiness came so suddenly, it seems so unreal!

In the courtyard of the headman's house, the old patriarch and a group of elderly people in the village gathered there, waiting for someone to bring back the news.

He Tiesheng's voice came from afar, and they heard it clearly.

The group came out of the yard excitedly and saw He Tiesheng driving a ox cart towards their home, shouting.

"Uncle, did you hear that? Shuheng passed the exam and ranked first."

The old patriarch held the cane tightly in his hand and nodded repeatedly.

He heard it, he heard it clearly, really.

Soon, He Tiesheng arrived and after the ox cart stopped, he jumped off the cart.

"Dad, my uncles and aunts, Shuheng passed the exam and became a scholar. He got first place."

"Okay, okay, okay, great."

The old patriarch held his walking stick and slammed the ground under his feet. He said a few good words repeatedly, and suddenly tears streamed down his face. "The ancestral graves of my old Hang family are emitting green smoke."

It was not only the old patriarch who was in tears. Several other elders of the Hang family also had red eyes and tears in their eyes.

"Shuheng really made our Hang family proud! It's great that he got the first place in the exam."

There was nothing more joyful than the fact that the young man of their Hang family had become successful. If there was anything, it was the hope that Hang Shuheng would pass the imperial examination and become a juren in the future.

The elderly people with other surnames behind were extremely envious. Why wasn’t such a promising young man from their family?

However, whether it is envy or regret, it is a great joy for the village that Hang Shuheng topped the list of scholars. It will only benefit the village and not harm it, so they are naturally happy about it.

Even if the villagers go out in the future, they can still look up to him by saying that he is from the same village as the top scholar.

The village head interrupted the old men at the right time and reminded them, "Uncle, everyone, let's not be too happy yet. Let's go to Shuheng's house first. Who knows, someone from the government might come to announce the good news later."

"Yes, yes, Qingshan is right. Let's go there now." The old patriarch came to his senses, took the lead, and led everyone in the direction of the Hang family.

When they arrived at the Hang family, they found that Hang Shuheng and his wife were not at home. The old patriarch couldn't help but mutter a few words.

"You see, we old guys are so anxious here, but the young couple didn't take it seriously at all. They didn't even stay at home on such an important day."

"Uncle, calm down, calm down, they may have gone to the county to check the list."

The old patriarch wasn't really angry, because the other person had come back with the top spot in the exam, so even if he was very angry, it would have calmed down.

Only Xu and Qingshuang were at home. Seeing that almost all the elderly people in the village had gone out and their master was not at home, they could only entertain them well and brought out tea, water and snacks.

When Hang Shuheng and his wife returned home, quite a few people had gathered at the door, all of them had come to see the scholar.

As soon as he got off the carriage, everyone congratulated him.

"Oh! Shuheng! Congratulations!"

"From now on, you will be a scholar, that's great."

"In our village, besides Scholar Song, Shuheng is the second scholar, and he even ranked first. He is really amazing."

Hang Shuheng was blocked at the door of his house and was treated like a national treasure by everyone. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why don't you all go into the yard and sit for a while!"

Someone replied, "There are too many of us. Let's not crowd in here. Let Shuheng go in! We have all seen Mr. Xiucai. Let's all go home!"

Song Ning held his forehead with his hand, speechless. Could it be that after passing the imperial examination and becoming a scholar, this person would no longer be the same person?

Fortunately, everyone blocked Hang Shuheng at the door and talked for a while, and most people left on their own. Only a few people followed the couple into the yard, saying that they were waiting for the government officials to come and report the good news.

Entering the yard, it was also bustling! A group of old antiques, all of whom were respected elders in the village, were sitting in the yard, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

Hang Shuheng walked over quickly and greeted them, "My uncles and aunts, why are you all here?"

Before the old patriarch could speak, several elders stood up and walked up to Hang Shuheng, saying excitedly: "Shuheng! You really made our Hang family proud! We old men really didn't misjudge you."

"We all know that you have won the first place, so we all came here. By the way, the people from the government who came to announce the good news should be here soon!"

As expected, what you say will come true. Just as we were talking about the person from the government coming to report the good news, he arrived at the door.

A villager who was lingering outside the door saw the official coming and immediately shouted into the yard, "The official is coming, the official is coming."

Upon hearing this, the old clan leader quickly ordered, "Quick, prepare the wedding fireworks. When the official announces the good news, light them up."
