"Aunt Tong, congratulations, congratulations."
Just as County Magistrate Liu was about to shift the conversation to Gu Jingzhe's marriage, his words were interrupted by Ergouzi, who brought the hired workers from the field to toast Tong Huaqiong.
Tong Huaqiong stood up, smiling, and finished her drink in one gulp.
"Congratulations, young Scholar, congratulations."
Naturally, they couldn't miss toasting Gu Jingzhe, today's main character.
"Jingzhe, you're the first Scholar from our village, and also the top scorer. You should drink from a big bowl," Ergouzi said with a cheeky grin.
Gu Jingzhe wasn't accustomed to drinking, and upon hearing about the big bowl, he said, "Brother Ergou, spare me, my drinking capacity isn't great."
Ergouzi replied, "This is just the beginning; you need to practice drinking. In the future, when you become a Champion Scholar, you'll need to drink a vat. Right, Aunt Tong?"
The people around joined in the teasing.
