Upon reaching Qilidun, I loudly asked at the village entrance where Old Master Scholar Song's house was. The village entrance was the exact place where men and women gathered to gossip when they had nothing else to do.
These days, since it wasn't yet time to harvest the autumn crops, everyone was relatively free, and they were all gathered at the village entrance chatting idly. Hearing this news, it was like a pot of water had suddenly boiled over.
Someone boldly asked, "Which Old Master Scholar Song?"
The messenger said, "Song Family's Master Song, whose name is Song Chongjin, ranked third Yayuan in the provincial exam."
The bit about names and stuff wasn't understood well by everyone, but they heard the surname Song and the name Chongjin, and even a fool would know that this meant Song Chongjin had become a Graduate.
This was, after all, the first Old Master Graduate in all these years in Qilidun!
