Behind him was Lian Musu, who smiled without speaking. After seeing his mother lead the Clan Uncle away, he stopped reminding her, knowing there was a show to watch.
Further behind was Lian Wanzhen, carrying the book basket, and the rest of the crowd, all talking excitedly about something.
Lian Changhe's face was brimming with smiles, and he took the opportunity to say, "If your Uncle Bingcheng were here, he'd have to write the word 'obedience' for Mu Su. Heh, I'm not as well-read as he is, but my son's scholarship surpasses his, haha..."
It wasn't just his own boasting—every time he'd boasted to Brother Bingcheng in the past, Bingcheng, unable to outdo him, always brought up passing the Scholar examination to hold over him.
Today, at last, he could hold his head high and breathe easy.
Thinking of this, he bore a look of vicarious pride.
