Chapter 149: Villagers' Reaction

In Big Stone Village.

"Are you serious? Is Mai engaged?"

"Yes, indeed he is engaged, to a young master from the capital city."

"Pardon? Mai is engaged to a young master from the capital city? Does the young master know Mai is special?"

The travelling merchants from Forest Town brought home the news of Chen Xiao Mai and Ji Yun An's engagement.

"That makes me wonder if there is something wrong with this young master as well."

"You cannot be more wrong! That young master is not even eighteen yet, but you know what, but he has already passed the highest imperial examinations!"

"Really? Passed the highest imperial examinations at such a young age? That's amazing!"

"To think we only have a handful of Xiucais who have passed the imperial examination at the county level in our village! No wonder people all say there are a galaxy of talents in the capital city!"

"Indeed, the talents in the capital city have their own tutors since they were very young, but us villagers have to support a student with the entire house's income! Not fair competition to be honest."

The villagers all sighed hearing that.

"Are you sure this news is true? It's so hard to believe! Could it be a rumor?"

"The merchants had even seen their engagement banquet, that can't be a rumor!"

......

These villagers were shocked to the core, they kept talking about Chen Xiao Mai for so long, they couldn't figure out how come a promising young talent would take a fancy to a wild Bio boy like Chen Xiao Mai!

"This young master who just got engaged to Chen Xiao Mai is going to be an official one day, right?"

"Definitely! Plus he is a young master from an influential family, his family must have paved the way for him already!"

"If Chen Xiao Mai married a government official, then he would become a madam!"

"Amazing, amazing! Who would have expected Slow Mai to become an official's wife?"".

The villagers had slowly accepted the fact that Lu Lin and Chen Xiao Cai were capable and ambitious people, but they had always seen Chen Xiao Mai as deadweight. They got mad jealous when Mai had a sudden rise in life.

......

Tang stood aside and listened to the villagers talk for a while, then she left without uttering a word.

Lu Cheng Yu didn't pass the imperial examinations at the highest level.

Lu Cheng Yu had been studying so hard since Lu Lin bought the official title, but he had met yet another failure.

Those students in the capital city had the opportunities to learn and practice with the best scholars in the entire country, but the students from the villages weren't so lucky, there were only limited education resources available for them.

Lu Cheng Yu still wanted to keep studying and give the exam another try, but Tang wanted him to open a school so he could bring home some income.

Although Tang wanted her son to become an official, covered in glory and enjoyed the praises from the villagers, she became realistic over the years, now she just wanted her son to be able to make a living and shoulder the responsibility to support the family because she was getting old.
