章 113: Chapter 92: I Got Promoted

Half a month later, the catch officer from Changning County escorted the students who had returned from the imperial examination, including the newly promoted juren, back to the county town.

On the day of their return, the county magistrate led the officials of the town, as well as the local gentry and commoners, to welcome them three miles outside the city. The celebration was extremely grand.

According to Sun Siwen, he did not receive such an honor when he became a juren and returned to his hometown.

Lu Yuan carefully recalled that he was not present when Sun Siwen returned to the county town, so he didn't know the situation at that time.

But when they returned to Yangmei Town, he saw that the townspeople gathered at the entrance of the town and watched for an hour or two.

There was no such reception a few miles out of town.

But it made sense.
