Chapter 632 The Power of the Academic Master

"Mrs. Bai, you're welcome. I've completed my task, so I won't delay. I still have something to do at the academy, so I'll take my leave first."

Mu Qing stood up, cupped her hands towards Bai Yunxi, and smiled warmly.

Any talented person deserves to be respected, let alone a talented person valued by the dean, whose future is limitless.

Baiyunxi tried to persuade her to stay, but she was not willing to stay for dinner. After sending the man to the gate and watching him get on the mule cart and leave, Bai Yunxi walked into the yard holding the letter, unable to conceal his excitement on his face.

Xiaowu said in his letter that he had passed the exam and was still the head of the case. Even Mu Qing said this just now, proving that this matter is correct.

This news really hit her head. Bai Yunxi stood in the middle of the hall, feeling dizzy.

"Haha... A top student is indeed a top student. He really made a name for himself."

Several people:"……"

I'm crazy about this!

After coming back to his senses, Bai Yunxi saw several pairs of big eyes staring at him. He was frightened and took a few steps back, covering his heart. Looking down at the letter in his hand, he couldn't help but walk around the room a few times, and finally waved his hand.

"Get ready. When Xiao Wu comes back, we will have a big banquet, haha..."

The head of the case, first place.

In this way, the family's land just lasts a day, and it can be exempted from taxes.

Scholars are exempted from the land tax of fifty acres and the corvee service for one person.

"Mom, did fifth brother say when he would be back?"

Hearing this exciting news, everyone danced for joy. Xiao Wu was selected as a scholar, and their family's lintel became higher.

"Xiaowu's letter said that when the list was posted in mid-March, he asked Master to send the letter as soon as possible. However, it would take a few days for them to return. They set out with Master from Qingyu Academy, and it would also take Come back together."

Bai Yunxi handed the letter to a few people and asked them to see it with their own eyes and laugh happily.

This year, my family's luck has really skyrocketed. It's extremely good.

Baiyunxi rubbed her chin and walked around a few times, "To congratulate Xiaowu on being admitted as a scholar, each of us will make a new set of clothes. When Xiaowu comes back soon, we will go to the county to pick him up."

The examination room for scholars is located in Fucheng, and it can take as fast as ten days or as slowly as half a month from the county.

Together with the people in the college, we have to match everyone's speed, and we can't go any faster.

Everyone's eyes were shining brightly as they listened, and nothing could be happier than this.

A mule cart entered the village and stopped in front of Bai's house. Some curious villagers came over to explore.

The first one to walk in was Mrs. Song Wang. As soon as she walked in, she smiled and congratulated her.

"As someone who has been here, when I heard the news, I knew what was going on. Congratulations to Yun Xi, she has become a scholar.

"We are both happy together. We are both talented ladies." Bai Yunxi winked at her, "Otherwise we would be the only ones with the same temper in the whole village."

"Haha... That's right. When Xiao Wu comes back, my brother Jie will probably come back too. Then we'll come over to help."

For such a big happy event, a few tables must be set up.

"Then I'll thank you in advance."

Since Song Jie was selected as a scholar, he went to Qingyu Academy to prepare for the provincial examination. He studied hard in the academy and only came back once a month.

"Thank you, who among us will follow whom?"

Mrs. Song Wang glared at her, then winked at her.

"Your family will also be popular in the village from now on. It is because of your relationship that I have the honor to help. Just wait and see. Once the news comes out that you have passed the primary five examination, your family's threshold will be broken."

Her Jie'er once said that everyone in the world likes to add icing on the cake, but doesn't like to provide help when it's time. Therefore, providing help in times of need is much more precious.

Listening to Song Wang's teasing tone, Bai Yunxi looked at the helplessness in her eyes and laughed too. The two families were in the same situation and could empathize with her most.

"I'm back. When will the banquet be held, let me know in advance and I will help."

Mrs. Song Wang stood up and before leaving, she did not forget to explain,

"By the way, I have harvested a lot of vegetables in my field. If you need it, just let me know in advance and I will prepare it for you."

In the past, one person grew her vegetable plot and three families ate it. Now her family can't finish the food, so they always go to the town to sell it and get a little money.

"Okay, I will inevitably trouble you then."

Song Wang has experience in growing vegetables, so he will really need to use some when the time comes, so he won't have to buy them in town.

After Mrs. Song left, the news of her passing the primary five examination spread throughout the village as if it had wings.

When Baiyunshan and Zhang came over with a basket of vegetables, Baiyunxi had just sent away a group of congratulatory villagers.

"Yunxi, word has spread in the village that he passed the primary five exam. Is the news accurate?"

Looking at the excited eyes of the two people, Bai Yunxi nodded, "Yes, the news was sent by the steward of Qingyu Academy. Not only was Xiaowu hit, but he was also the head of the case."

The cousin and his wife were not outsiders, and Bai Yunxi did not hide it.

She didn't have the nerve to say anything to Mrs. Song. If she felt uncomfortable, it would damage the relationship between them.

Anyway, Song Jie was coming back soon, so it would be the same for her to tell him.

"Okay, okay...the tiger father has no dogs, so Yunhui knows that he is underground, so you should be relieved."

Baiyunshan stood up excitedly, rubbed his hands and walked around the living room twice.

"Xiao Wu is the glory of the Bai clan. When he comes back, I will take him to worship the ancestors. The Bai clan will rise again."

"That's right. Xiaowu has really given us a lot of face. Yunxi has finally come out of his shell. It's time for my cousin to rest in peace."

Mrs. Zhang put her hands together and recited the words Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless her.

Looking at the attitudes of the two, Bai Yunxi curled the corners of his lips. Look, this is the person who really cares for them.

"Wait for Xiaowu to come back, let him go to the grave in person and tell his father the good news."

"That's right, call me later, I will accompany Xiaowu to visit Yunhui. Then we will worship the ancestors and set up a banquet."

Bai Yunxi did not refuse this. Worshiping ancestors is a local custom. Xiaowu is also a matter of honoring the ancestors. In the future, the clan members cannot abandon him, otherwise he will be criticized.

"By the way, everyone in the village knows that Xiaowu has passed the exam, but they don't know his ranking. Don't make it public before he comes back."

Listening to the cousin's explanation, Bai Yunshan nodded, "Don't worry, this matter will be announced when we worship the ancestors."

In the next few days, there was no shortage of people at home, whether they were good friends or just acquaintances, they all came.

One by one, good words were sent out as if they were free, and people's ears were numb.

After finally finding some free time, Bai Yunxi immediately took Wenyou to the town and bought a piece of cloth for each family member to make new clothes.

In order to match the festive occasion, Bai Yunxi also picked a crimson purple color for herself, and asked her daughter to embroider a few black orchids on it, which was both dignified and steady without being ostentatious, and very suitable for her current age.
