Su Ke rushed back to the Su Family's Mansion in a hurry, by which time the officer who came to deliver the news had already left with his reward money, fully satisfied.
The entire Su Mansion was enveloped in joy.
Even the palace had sent gifts from the Empress, and although they were just some fabrics and pastries--simple things like that--the Su Family was still shrouded in happiness.
"Come, Ke'er, quickly come to your grandfather,"
Patriach Su was especially energetic today, beckoning Su Ke cheerfully: "Come, offer three incense sticks to the ancestors of the Su Family, thanking them for blessing you with success in the Imperial Examination. Although you claimed the title of Uncle-in-law in the past, in the end, it was merely an honorary title. Now that you have gained scholarly honor, you must strive hard, so as not to disappoint His Majesty and the Empress."
