Today, when Gu Chengyu met the Emperor, the Emperor bestowed a name upon him. He needed to inform his teacher about this matter.
Gu Chengyu took a carriage to Liang Mansion, where Liang Zhirui was already waiting for him. It was still early, around 3:00 PM, and it was appropriate to have dinner at Liang Mansion before returning.
"Teacher!" As soon as Gu Chengyu saw Liang Zhirui, he knelt and solemnly kowtowed three times. Having become the top scholar, he had to first thank his mentor.
Liang Zhirui was so moved that even his beard trembled, "Good! You have not let down this old man's expectations."
He stepped forward to help Gu Chengyu up from the ground, feeling deeply moved. That Gu Chengyu could top all three levels of the examination was a source of pride for him as a teacher, something he hadn't anticipated. Achieving the top in all three levels not only required immense talent but also surpassing other candidates, with many uncontrollable factors involved.
