For ordinary people, both families have children who are studying, and each of them has a reputation, so they must compete secretly.

Unexpectedly, the Song Wang family is so rich and prosperous. With her in the Song family, it will definitely not be bad in the future.

Sure enough, as Wenyou said, one morning seven days later, the good news from the capital sent to the county government was delivered to Liushuwan.

All of a sudden, the whole village was bombed, as long as the people in the village couldn't help running to watch the commotion.They knew that Xiao Wu was good at reading, but they didn't expect that Xiao Wu really won the first prize.

In addition to the villagers who watched the excitement, there were also members of the Bai clan, big and small, old and young, all of them came.

After Baiyunxi exchanged pleasantries with the yamen servant, he prepared a big purse for him.

"It's hard work for you two to make a trip, be careful, and invite you to drink tea."

The yamen servant took the heavy purse, looked at each other,
"Being able to deliver the happy news for Mr. Zhuangyuan is a good thing that our brothers can't wait for. Even under the scorching sun, we are willing to be happy and make a good fortune."

These words are indeed not polite, but whenever good things happen.Yamen servants are all scrambling to get errands.As for those unlucky ones, naturally no one wants to be contaminated.

"Then please take a break for the two of you, and let me join the friendship of the landlord, and have a simple meal, and please don't dislike me."

"Thank you Mrs. Bai for your kindness, but if our brother can stay for a long time, we have to go back and return. When the champion returns home, our brother will come to ask for a glass of wine."

Seeing that they insisted on leaving, Bai Yunxi couldn't insist, and asked the second child to personally send them to the official road.

When the officials left, everyone looked at the Bai family with envy and fear in their eyes, and they didn't want to give away money if they complimented them.

Seeing the onlookers around the door, Bai Yunxi asked Xiaosi to carry a tray full of peanut caramel and prepared copper coins, saying auspicious words, and spreading happy money for everyone to have a good time .

After Bai Yuntang got excited, he laughed,
"Cousin, now you can finally feel proud. The No. [-] Scholar in the Junior Fifth High School is not only the glory of your family, but also the glory of the entire Bai clan. We, the Bai clan, are afraid that we will reach another level in the future."

"It's true, Xiao Wu's glory on the lintel is the glory of the entire Bai clan."

The old patriarch chuckled and tapped his pipe. When he heard the news, he thought he was hallucinating. How could Xiao Wu win the number one prize at such a young age?
Until he saw the official standing in the yard with the happy news, he was so shocked that he almost lost his grip on the cigarette pipe and pot.

"Haha... It has been said for a long time that Xiaowu's child is not an ordinary person, and he inherited Yunhui's talent for reading. It is true. It is said that the tiger father has no dogs. Yunxi girl, you will be the mother of the champion in the future."

Bai Laosan said, stroking his beard and laughing with his head up. He never expected to meet such a beautiful thing in his lifetime. He will have no regrets in this life.

"Our Bai family has lived in Liushuwan for generations, and this place is definitely a place of geomantic omen."

"Sanbo, don't worry, cousin. When Xiao Wu comes back, he will definitely let him go to worship the ancestors in person, and he will definitely protect the clansmen in the future."

Bai Yunxi nodded in agreement, but she didn't object. She already fully understood the importance of the tribe to a person.When going out, the ancestral home is the root, and whether the clan can climb up depends on whether Xiao Wu, the leader, can give him a hand.

If you are lucky, pulling one or two clansmen to come forward will also help you.As the saying goes, when brothers fight, father and son fight.Going out to be an official, coming from the same clan is no different from a brother.

That's why she didn't object.

Of course, if you want to promote someone, you have to have a good reading talent and be able to pass the exam before you can be promoted.

Bai Yuntang listened, smiling so hard that his teeth disappeared,
"Okay, okay, just waiting for your words. If our Bai clan wants to think about it, we need Xiao Wu's help. Of course, the clansmen have to work hard to be Xiao Wu's backing, and we can't let him be isolated and helpless outside."

Regarding this, Baiyunxi was noncommittal, and appropriate help to the clan was nothing more than donating a few more clan fields so that more clansmen had the opportunity to study.But Xiao Wu will be an official outside in the future, no matter how many clan members there are, if he fails to pass the exam, it will be useless.

"A member of our family is the number one scholar, besides worshiping the ancestors, don't we also have to set up a banquet, so that everyone can have fun together?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone subconsciously looked at him.Even Bai Yunxi followed everyone's line of sight, only to realize that he was an uncle from a side branch of the clan, and he didn't have much specific impression.

The man came into contact with everyone's eyes, his expression froze, and he said nah,
"I also watched the landlord's [-]th birthday in the town. He set up a three-day banquet and invited a troupe. Isn't it more appropriate for such a big event as the champion?"

Everyone: "..."

Bai Yunxi curled his mouth, but he waved his hand without any objection.

"As for how to celebrate, we have to wait for Xiao Wu to come back to decide. It's too early to say anything. But I guess Xiao Wu would not approve of a large banquet. Scholars advocate frugality and oppose extravagance and waste. I heard that the style of frugality originated from the palace. It is said that officials take the lead in frugality, and both officials and localities are vying to follow suit."

She has no objection to donating a few acres of school land to the clan.But if she were to lead a whole village to eat and drink, she would not have that much patience.

Even if she was pretending, she didn't have that much energy, so she simply stopped them in advance, lest they have unlimited imagination.

"Although our mountain villages are far away, if it is too extravagant and wasteful, it will make people say it is frivolous. Moreover, Xiao Wu's mentor is from the Imperial Academy of Kyoto. He is a proper Confucian. How can Xiao Wu surpass his teacher to show off? ?”

As soon as Baiyunxi said this, everyone fell silent. Living frugally is a deep-rooted habit, and they just thought about things like running water mats and made noises.How exactly, but dare not decide.

Now I don't dare to speak nonsense anymore.

The old patriarch sitting in the yard looked at each other with several elders, and there was no objection. The situation was stronger than others, and they had no right to ask for anything other than suggestions.

After being interrupted by someone, the atmosphere suddenly froze and felt awkward.Looking at his cousin's calm eyes, Bai Yuntang naturally knew what was going on in her heart, and he didn't force it.

"My cousin is right. Everything will be decided after our Zhuangyuan returns to his hometown. Let's leave now, let's wait for the Zhuangyuan's return together."

The clansmen glanced at each other, did not insist, and got up and left one after another. As for the people watching the excitement outside the yard, Baiyunxi ignored them, and went straight back to the house and lay on the Arhat bed. There were so many people, but the noise also caused a headache.

"Mom, do you have a headache?" Bai Anjing came over with a glass of water and asked worriedly.

"It's okay, just take a rest."

Bai Yunxi squeezed the space between her eyebrows, took a sip from the cup, "I'm used to being quiet, but suddenly I made a fuss, my forehead buzzed."
