The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 669 Great Joy Approaches (1)_1

Pei Wendong passed the examination, and even those who took it with him did, too. A mere twelve-year-old, a little bastard who hasn’t even grown hair yet, how could he possibly pass the exam and earn the scholarly title? It must be Pei Qin—she bribed Jiang Benxin! Qian Wanxiu smashed the teapot and cup, even more filled with hatred.

Her son, whom she had carefully cultivated for many years, did not pass the exam, but that little bastard did!?

Pei Wenchen was also deeply affected, having been carefree from childhood to adulthood as his mother had always arranged everything for him. Except for moving from Fu City to the countryside and returning to Old Pei’s House, everything else had always gone his way. Yet despite the universal praise for his learning, he failed the exam. Pei Wendong, at just twelve years of age, passed the exam and earned the scholar title—how could anyone believe it?

Pei Wensheng shouted that he wanted to go find Pei Wendong, "They definitely bribed the County Magistrate, they took a back door! Otherwise, how could they possibly pass and earn the title? Let’s go find him and see how much silver he gave to the County Magistrate, whether he cheated or not!"

Qian Wanxiu stopped him from going, "They all know martial arts, are you looking for a beating?"

Pei Wensheng’s face twisted with rage, wishing he could beat the detested person to death or cripple them.

It wasn’t just them who couldn’t believe Pei Wendong could pass and earn the title—even the villagers of Taiping Town, who were shocked, had their doubts. Pei Wendong was clearly still young, and among the siblings, he had nothing much that stood out, nor was he ostentatious. Except for working the fields during the busy farming season and going to school to study every day, how could he all of a sudden pass the exam and earn the scholarly title? He probably couldn’t even properly wear a scholar’s robe yet!?

Even Old Scholar Fang was a bit shocked, "I didn’t hear wrong? Wendong passed the exam!?"

"That’s right! Everyone outside is talking about it! Wendong, so young, has passed, and from now on, he is a Scholar!" Fang Fang heard this when she went out to the grocery store.

Grandma Fang gasped, "Wendong is only twelve..."

"Indeed! At just that age, he has become a young master Scholar. It sounds incredibly impressive, but looking at him, he’s clearly still just a little brat!" Fang Fang muttered quietly.

Upon hearing this, Fang Liyi immediately ran over and said, "Did they bribe the County Magistrate!? Otherwise, Wendong, still a mere child, absolutely could not have passed!"

Old Scholar Fang shook his head, "Wendong has been studying with Mo Heng since he was young. He is naturally intelligent. Passing the exam shouldn’t be difficult for him."

"Just by studying with Mo Heng, he could pass!? Then our Dalang can score highly and become a Palace Graduate this year, too!?" Fang Li scoffed in disbelief, still not convinced of Mo Heng’s capabilities.

"What do you know! Mo Heng became a Jie Yuanlang at the age of thirteen!" Old Scholar Fang had also been anxious and restless these days, because of his eldest grandson’s examinations. Seeing the behavior of his eldest son, he rebuked him impatiently.

Fang Li’s eyes widened in amazement, "He? Passed the metropolitan exams at thirteen!? It’s already quite difficult to become a Scholar at thirteen, and he managed to pass the metropolitan exams!? And as the Jie Yuanlang too!?"

Grandma Fang and Lady Yu also didn’t know about this, and they were equally surprised upon hearing it.

"My cousin-in-law passed the metropolitan exams at thirteen, that is truly impressive!" Fang Fang couldn’t help but feel somewhat downhearted; her cousin had married such an excellent man, while she still hadn’t found anyone for herself.

"If that’s the case, Mo Heng has been teaching Wendong since early on, so his passing and earning the title is to be expected! Let’s still go have a look! Qinqin definitely won’t be flaunting it with a celebration, but we, as family, should still celebrate it! This is indeed a huge joyous event!" said Lady Yu.

Grandma Fang nodded in agreement, "Then let’s quickly pack some things! We should head over early, it’s almost noon already!"

The whole family hurriedly got ready and rushed over to Taiping Town.

The town’s market had not yet closed, so they bought some meat and a set of the Four Treasures of the Study to bring over.
