Chapter 665 Glad Tidings
As the villagers working in the village saw Chu Heng return, they instantly wanted to gossip and ask about Chu Heng's exam results.
However, the Chu family members walked quickly and they didn't stop them, causing some speculation.
Time flew by.
Five days later.
Early in the morning of that day.
The villagers were busy harvesting sweet potatoes.
Suddenly, a group of heralds appeared, bringing good news which made the villagers rub their eyes in disbelief.
Soon, the heralds arrived at Chu Heng's doorstep.
Trembling, Zhang Shu opened the gate and saw the heralds outside holding up a sign and playing drums to announce the good news.
"Master, the heralds have arrived..."
Ye Muyu and Chu Heng hurried out of the house to greet them at the gate.
Once the heralds were all gathered, they smiled and asked, "May I ask if this is the home of Chu Heng, the Chu Xiucai?"
"That's right, it's me." Chu Heng's imposing demeanor made the heralds who came to deliver the good news couldn't help but take a few more glances. His outstanding appearance, especially his extraordinary temperament, made them feel that he was not an ordinary person.
"Congratulations, Xiucai, on advancing further. You are now a Jinshi Master." The head herald felt that Chu Heng would achieve extraordinary accomplishments in the future, so he happily said a few words.
Even if he didn't pass the subsequent exams, he would still be a Jinshi Master, which was not something they could afford to offend.
"Thank you for your hard work on the journey." Chu Heng remained calm, and he didn't even address them but for some reason the heralds didn't feel anything wrong at all.
Soon after.
After reading the good news, the heralds were invited into Chu's courtyard for tea.
More and more villagers came to watch the excitement.
Chu Heng opened the door wide, knowing that the lively scene was unavoidable.
Ye Muyu was busy in the kitchen with Hu Shi, while Luchuan and others were outside entertaining guests.
The Chu family members also arrived soon.
The first to arrive was Chu Xing, who followed Chu Heng and drank on his behalf.
Followed closely by Qian, Chu Liushi, Zhang Shi, Wang, and others.
They all went into the kitchen to help Ye Muyu prepare.
In fact, part of the preparations had already been made in the kitchen, and Ye Muyu estimated that it was about time.
However, with several people helping she was much more relaxed.
"You don't know, there are so many people outside, the courtyard is crowded, they even went to the neighboring Lin family to borrow tables, chairs, and benches, and set up the tables outside."
"Ah Heng is so busy, being dragged away to talk by people. I guess more people will come later. I'm afraid there won't be enough chairs and benches. Fortunately, Chu Lin, Ah Xing, and a few other brothers were quick to react and helped outside, otherwise, it would be really overwhelming."
Isn't that right? Anyone who heard the news came over.
Whether they were children, women, adults, or elders, they all put down their work and came over to watch the excitement together.
A Jinshi Master, in the whole village, counting back fifty years, was there anyone who didn't know?
Chu Liushi listened and asked Ye Muyu, "Third daughter-in-law, do you have enough food prepared? I heard that after passing the Jinshi exam, it's common to hold a three-day banquet."
"But your courtyard is not big enough. With so many people coming, it's definitely not enough space to sit. The villagers and our relatives are easy to deal with. As long as there's a table of food, it's fine."
"But if the nobles from the county come, how will you entertain them?"
"Mom, the food is definitely not enough for a three-day banquet, but one day is enough. I've already sent someone to buy it."
"Master has discussed it with Third Young Master Xie, and both of them passed the Jinshi exam, so the three-day banquet will be separated."
"We will entertain our guests separately, so as to avoid any conflicts."
"We will entertain the distinguished guests first, then our own relatives, and then it will be the three-day banquet."
