    “Congrattions! Congrattions!” The gongs and drums rang resoundingly as the group of people arrived at the Wang Family’s door. The leader said auspicious words. The surrounding people were not familiar with the Wang Family, so they only watched themotion.


    Three Thoughts Street was a ce for schrs, and there were especially many schrs here.


    Even provincial schrs and state schrs weremon.


    However, they were still happy to watch themotion.


    Soon, the few servants in the courtyard ran excitedly to Old Madam Wang’s courtyard, their voices unable to hide their joy—


    “Old Madam, Old Madam, it’s here! It’s here!” An old servant was the first to shout. When he reached the threshold, he almost fell.


    Old man Wang threw the jade in his hand onto the te and shook his head. “Why are you in such a panic? Tell me slowly.”


    The old servant said, “It’s our Second Master. He passed the exam and secured a ce in the imperial civil service examination!”


    Hearing this, Old man Wang picked up the jade again and lowered his head. “Oh, that’s quite good.”


    The old servant panted and continued, “Also, Young Master Qin obtained first ce. He’s the Top Scorer!”


    “What? This kid is indeed not bad!” Old man Wang threw the jade away and raised his sleeve. He pulled his neck and shouted into the courtyard, “Old woman, our grandson-inw is really hardworking. He got the rank of Top Scorer! I’ll order two catties of wine from Defeng Restaurant today. Let’s celebrate today!”


    Old Madam Wang was unhappy and snorted. “Our grandson-inw is the one who became the Top Schr. Are you happy or are you greedy for that wine?”


    Old man Wang chuckled and didn’t answer Old Madam Wang. He only gestured to the old servant. The old servant understood and immediately ran out.


    The wine in Defeng Restaurant was not the most orthodox, but it was the ce that the students liked to visit the most. Their Wang Family’s grandson-inw had obtained such a good rank, so they naturally had to brag there for a long time. He would go there and let people get to know the Wang Family.


    It had to be said that although this old servant had not interacted with Old man Wang for long, he was very to the old man’s liking.


    Before long, everyone knew that the Top Scorer hade from the Wang Family on Three Thoughts Street.


    Someone asked, “Which Wang Family? I’ve never heard of them.”


    “I heard that they’re poor schrs who came from the vige. Their entire family tightened their belts and finally bought a house on Three Thoughts Street. Now, someone from their family has obtained a high score. They’ll rise rapidly in the future.”


    There were also people who were envious. “They’re really going to rise like a phoenix!”


    “As expected of someone who has never studied. Your words are unpleasant. That’s a schr. How can youpare him to a phoenix?”


    “In any case, Three Thoughts Street is very lively now. It’s been years since a top schr emerged from a humble background. The imperial court has expressed several times its hope for these students from humble origins to strive and excel, and now,didn’t a top schre from them?”


    At this moment, Duke Yong, and the principal of the academy that Qin Huai had previously studied were all looking forward to the results.


    When they heard the news, the two of them were stunned for a long time.


    When did Qin Huai be a poor student with a humble background?!


    If he’s considered a student from a poor family, there wouldn’t be a single rich person in the world!


    Wang Chuangui was also depressed. It wasn’t easy for him to pass the exam. But when he returned home, he realized that everyone was surrounding Qin Huai.


    Even Old Madam Wang had an obvious smile on her face. She was clearly extremely happy.


    However, that smile was not because she was proud of him. Wang Chuangui felt an indescribable grievance.


    Although he was already so old, he still hoped that his mother could see him one day.


    “Why are you still standing there? 1 haven’t seen you take a sip of the chicken soup i made so early in the morning. If I—” Old Madam Wang’s voice suddenly passed through the crowd andnded urately in Wang Chuangui’s ears.


    Wang Chuangui’s eyes widened as he ran into the kitchen.


    Boohoo, he knew that his mother still had him in her heart.


    When he arrived at the kitchen, he saw arge bowl filled with chicken soup.


    Looking at the side, there were a few whole chickens in a huge bucket that was taller than a person. The fragrance of the chicken soup filled the entire kitchen.


    Someone hurriedly called out to Wang Chuangui, “Second Master, are you also going to the street to distribute the chicken soup?”


    Wang Chuangui: ?
