Chapter 665: Good News

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When the villagers who were working in the village saw Chu Heng return, they instantly wanted to ask him about his exam results.

However, the Chu family left quickly and the villagers could not stop them, causing a wave of speculation.

Time flew by.

Five days later.

Early in the morning.

The village was busy harvesting sweet potatoes.

The villagers rubbed their eyes in disbelief when they saw a group of bailiffs reporting the good news.

Soon, the bailiff who delivered the good news arrived at Chu Heng’s house.

Zhang Shu opened the door with trembling hands and saw the bailiffs holding a plaque outside the door, beating gongs and drums to announce the good news.

“Old Master, the messengers are here…”

Ye Muyu and Chu Heng quickly walked out of the house and welcomed them at the gate.

The bailiffs and the others had arrived.

“Excuse me, this is Chu Heng’s house?” he asked with a smile.

“Yes, I’m Chu Heng.” Chu Heng’s imposing manner made the bailiffs who came to deliver the news of victory unable to help but take a few more glances. This outstanding appearance, especially his outstanding temperament, made him feel that it was not something that ordinary people could have.

“Congratulations on your progress, you are now a high scholar.” The leading bailiff felt that Chu Heng’s future achievements would be extraordinary, so he happily said a few words.

Even if he did not take the later exams, he would still be a high scholar, and they could not afford to offend him.

“You’ve worked hard all the way here.” Chu Heng’s expression was calm, and he did not even mention his title. However, for some reason, the bailiffs did not feel that anything was wrong.

Very quickly.

After the bailiffs read the good news, they were invited to the Chu family’s courtyard to drink tea.

More and more villagers came to watch the show.

Chu Heng opened the door, knowing that this commotion was inevitable.

Ye Muyu was busy with Madam Hu in the kitchen while Lu Chuan and the others waited outside to entertain the guests.

The people from the Chu family soon arrived.

The first to arrive was Chu Xing. He followed beside Chu Heng and drank on his behalf.

Following closely behind were the Madam Qian, Madam Liu, Madam Zhang, and Wang families.

They all went into the kitchen to help Ye Muyu prepare.

In fact, the kitchen had already prepared some of them. Ye Muyu calculated the time and realized that it was about time.

However, with the help of a few people, she was still much more relaxed.

“You don’t know, but there are so many people outside that the courtyard can’t even fit. They went to the Lin family’s house next door to borrow tables and chairs and placed the tables outside the house.”

“Ah Heng doesn’t have the time either. He’s being dragged along to talk. I reckon that there will be more people coming soon. I’m afraid there won’t be enough chairs and benches. Fortunately, Chu Lin, Ah Xing, and the other brothers are quick to react and help outside. Otherwise, I’m afraid they won’t be able to handle it.”

Yes, everyone who heard the news came over.

Whether it was children or women, adults or the elderly, they all put down their work and came to watch the show.

In the entire village, in the past fifty years, there might not even be a single high scholar.

“Third daughter-in-law, have you prepared enough ingredients?” Madam Liu asked Ye Muyu. “I’ve asked around. After passing the high scholar examination, there will usually be a three-day banquet.”

“However, your courtyard is not big enough. If there are too many people, it will definitely not be able to sit. It’ll be easy to entertain the villagers and our relatives. As long as there is a table of food, it will be fine.”

“But if a noble from the county comes, how should we entertain them?”

“Mother, the ingredients are definitely not enough for three days of the banquet, but it’ll be enough for one day. I’ve already sent people to buy them.”

“Husband and Third Young Master Xie have discussed this. Both of them have passed the high scholar examination, and the banquet will be held separately for the next three days.”

“Our guests will also be invited separately. At that time, there will be no conflict.”

“First, we’ll invite our distinguished guests, then our relatives. We’ll have a three-day banquet.”
