Suddenly such a cute thing who liked rolling on the ground and acting cute at home added a lot of laughter to this family. Compared with the horror when those servants and maids saw the wolf dad and his two sons for the first time, one could imagine how much they liked Chubby. Ling Jingxuan who was still in confinement sent a special servant to go to other counties to look for juicy bamboo shoots for him. And they also spared a share of milk to him. Except that, unlimited support of his Crescent Spring water was also a must. Ling Chenglong even personally led people to build a simple house for the panda for him to play and rest in. One could say Chubby had received everyone’s spoiling.

The next day after the shower rituals of the baby, Yan Yi set out for the capital ahead of time taking the memorials Yan Shengrui personally wrote and that indictment. Zeng Shaoqing also went back with him. Before leaving, Yan Shengrui ordered Yan Yi to send some words for Qin Yu conductor of his mansion, asking him to make rooms for the few kids in advance, build resting places for the pets, and asked a design drawing from Ling Jingxuan for him, while Ling Jingxuan asked Zeng Shaoqing to pay attention to those shops or houses for sale. The former one was for his own use, while the latter was for the Zhao&Han couple, Ling Jinghan, Shopkeeper Zhang and others. In the capital had a lot of rules. Although he was never someone who could perform under the rules others made, he still should make preparations. The Ling Mansion had to be separate, after all in the future Jingpeng needed a place to marry Ye Ruyun. Since she didn’t mind his farm background, he wouldn’t let his younger brother slight her. A luxurious wedding, extravagant residence, everything that was required!

“Master, madam, jieyuan((解元, lit. “top escorted examinee”), the juren who ranked first in provincial exam.) It’s jieyuan title…”

On the noon ten days later, while everyone was chatting in the central room after eating, Old Song suddenly ran in stumblingly. Everyone looked at him with confusion, while Old Song wore a face of great excitement and stopped before Ling Chenglong. Only after a few big deep breaths did he say, “Congratulations, master, ma’am, the second young master got the jieyuan title! People from the yamen have arrived at the entrance of the village!”

“Really?!”

Hearing him, Ling Chenglong instantly sprung up, so excited that his lips were trembling, let alone others. No one noticed that Ling Jinghan secretly let out a sigh of relief. In fact, he also had not much confidence in his heart. It was really his luck to get the jieyuan title! Now that he had achieved what he wished, he also didn’t let everyone down.

“It’s true, master. Hurry up! People from the yamen are arriving. I heard that the village head’s son Chenggui also got listed as a juren title ((舉人, lit. “recommended man”), a qualified graduate who passed the triennial provincial exam) But since the second young master got the jieyuan title, so they should come here to congratulate you first.”

Old Song nodded like pounding garlic. Heaven knew how excited he was when he heard about it in the factory. He dropped his word at hands and ran back instantly.

“Yes, yes, hurry up, Shaoqi, you go prepare some red envelopes. Sister-in-law Song, you go prepare a table of dishes. They have come all the way from the prefecture and shouldn’t have had the time to eat anything. Jinghan, what are you waiting for? Go change some new clothes!”

After what he said, Ling Chenglong really got panicked, for the first time he got even more nagging than his wife, while the latter was still standing there stoned, maybe still hadn’t come back from the great excitement.

“Dad, take it easy, there is still some distance from the village entrance to here.”

Ling Jinghan got up and pulled his headless-fly like dad, Ling Jingpeng also came forward to comfort him, “He said right, dad, we don’t have to prepare anything special, as long as we show our courtesies. See? Brother Shaoqi has gone to greet them? You can stay at ease with him around.”

Except Ling Chenglong and his wife, almost everyone knew the true identity of Yuan Shaoqi, but in this house, he was still that bookkeeper. But even compared with family background, could he even surpass Yan Shengrui? Even Ye Ruyun was higher than him. At least she was a commander who had just made outstanding military exploit. Maybe she could be conferred as the first female general of the Qing Kingdom after she went back to the capital this time. So, son of the first son of Duke Yuan Mansion was really nothing here.

“Ah? Oh, OK, dad will all listen to you. But, Jinghan, they come all the way here to send the message. Shouldn’t you at least change some new clothes?”

Ling Chenglong nodded dully, but soon shook his head, his whole person had been thoroughly disordered. Ling Jinghan gave him a helpless light smile, “No need, dad. Those clothes on me are also new. Our village families don’t have so many formalities. They are here to announce some good news, but not here to announce the imperial decree. No need to make it so grand.”

“Ah!”

Suddenly, a shrieking scream gave all the people there a jump scare, the next second, Lady Wang rushed before Ling Jinghan, both hands tightly grasping his arms, “Jinghan, you are a juren now? And even got the first place jieyuan?”

Getting a juren title was undoubtedly like stepping one foot in the official circle. Now, if any county had a vacancy in the yamen, a juren could directly take it. As for Lady Wang whose family had been farmers down generations, this was a heaven-huge surprise, something she even dare not think of even in her dreams.
