Chapter 683: Chapter 683: Let’s have a banquet to celebrate!
Meanwhile, it took Mrs. Zhang a while to process the news. She was still a bit dazed and asked, “Sang, are you really a schr now?”
“I am, I am!” Zhu Hongyun, on the other hand, was quick to respond with her teeth showing in a broad grin.
Wow, Tong Sang is quite amazing for being self-taught.
Oh my, the Tong Family is trulymendable. Despite their property being confiscated, they’ve produced a schr!
Marrying into the Tong Family is the best decision I’ve made in this life!
But then, recalling the current situation at home, Zhu Hongyun looked at Mrs. Zhang with some frustration. What a fool to bber about Qiao Xiaomai having an affair with another man in front of Sang. Should this kind of gossip be discussed in front of Tong Sang?
This should be spread secretly until everyone knows about it!
Look, Tong Sang will probably separate from the family because of this mess.
After the separation, the advantages that she and Tong Eng are likely to get will reduce.
Mrs. Zhang had no idea that Zhu Hongyun was silently cursing herself for being stupid. Upon confirming her son truly had be a schr, she jumped with joy and quickly ran to Tong Sang, mimicking Tong Xingda and patting Sang on the shoulder.
Tong Dang and his wife Li Rou, both with kind faces, also came over with congrattions on their lips.
Zhu Hongyun, seeing this, quickly pulled Tong Eng over. Her face was blooming into a cheerful smile, and sweet words flowed out of her mouth like honey.
Tong Sang’s face remained indifferent and he stayed silent.
At this moment, the sound of a gong came from afar. The herald of good news had arrived.
The herald was riding a carriage, but they purposefully slowed its pace so as not to reach the schr’s house while the schr himself was still on the road.
Upon entering the vige, they dismounted and began inquiring about the exact location of the Tong family while sounding their gongs. The lively sounds attracted many vigers.
In Anping Vige’s history, Tong Sang was the first to be a schr.
This kind of good news was appearing in Anping Vige for the first time.
Such a scene, rarely seen once in several decades, should not be missed!
“The heralds are here.” Sang maneuvered out of his family’s close circle and strode to the gate.
A group of vigers led three officers towards him. Tong Sang greeted them, and as the officers offered their congrattions, he parted to let them enter his home.
At this moment, Tong Tiehu also emerged and invited the officers inside his home, serving sugar water and offering rewards for their service.@@novelbin@@
After setting off fireworks, the officers read the good news about Tong Sang’s sess in front of the vigers, then handed it over to him.
The certificate stamped with the government seal must be carefully kept as it’s an admission ticket to the examination hall.
The officers stayed a little longer, expressing more congrattions before leaving on horseback.
Once the officers left, the watching vigers gave their blessings before leaving too, the joyous moment belonged to the Tong family.
“Sang’s father, go to Jiwuju in the town and book a banquet for today. Let’s have a joyous celebration!” Mrs. Zhang said to Tong Xingda delightedly.
The one thousand six hundred taels of silver Xiaomai giftedst time were all under Tong Xingda’s control.
Tong Xingda grunted at her words, his smile fading a bit, “A single table at Jiwuju costs a hundred taels! I think it would be better to host a feast at home, inviting our rtives, friends, and all the vigers.”
The first schr in Anping Vige, this is an historical event!
The celebration must not be lesser than Tong Tiehu’s sixtieth birthday party!
Everyone in the vige shoulde! The standards for the banquet need to be even higher!
