Chapter 592: The River God’s Bride x “Top Scholar” River God (11)

The village chief's house is a large blue brick and tile house. It looks particularly luxurious and impressive among all the houses. It is different at first glance, like a crane standing out among chickens.

Old Man Yu led Wu Yi to stand at the door and shouted a few times inside. Soon, someone came to open the door.

The person who came to open the door was the village chief's wife, Yu. Although she was old, one could still tell from her facial features that she must have been a beauty when she was young.

When she saw Old Man Yu and Wu Yi behind him, a trace of surprise appeared on her face, and she asked, "Brother Yu, why are you here?"

"I'm taking my grandson-in-law to see the village chief about something!"

Old Man Yu grinned at her and handed the bacon and tofu in his hands forward.

"Hey, just come if you want to, what else do you bring?"

Yu quickly waved her hands to refuse, refusing to accept these things no matter what.

But Old Man Yu still stuffed it into her arms regardless.

Yu had no choice but to accept it.

When the village chief heard the voice, he hurried out from the inner room, with a smile on his face, and greeted him warmly: "Brother Yu, you are here? Come in and sit down. Old woman, take out the tea leaves I left for you."

"Okay." Yu responded and turned back to the house to make tea.

Old man Yu walked into the house and sat down, then he explained the purpose of his visit.

Finally, he sighed deeply and said in a heavy tone: "This child has a miserable life! He has lived with his parents in the mountains since he was a child, away from the world, and he doesn't even know about the household registration system. If Wuyi hadn't planned to take the imperial examination this time, he wouldn't have known that people have household registration systems!"

When he mentioned that Wuyi was going to take the imperial examination, his back straightened unconsciously, and his eyes revealed undisguised pride and pride.

However, when the village chief heard what Old Man Yu said, his eyes suddenly widened and his breathing became rapid.

He stood up suddenly, staring at Wuyi who was standing next to him, his eyes full of disbelief.

"He... he is a scholar? He also wants to take the imperial examination?"

"you do not say!"

Old man Yu straightened his back even more, with a proud smile on his face, and continued: "Look at my grandson-in-law, he is well-mannered, handsome, and you can tell at a glance that he is a scholar!"

As he spoke, he deliberately pushed Wuyi in front of the crowd so that the village chief could better appreciate Wuyi's charm.

Wuyi was a little at a loss after being pushed by Old Man Yu, but he still maintained a polite smile.

"Yes, yes, he looks weak, but he looks like a scholar."

The village chief nodded in agreement, then looked at Wuyi carefully, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Hmm... not bad. This child is fair and clean, and seems to be very smart. He is indeed a good student."

The village chief looked at Wuyi with eyes full of love and expectation, as if he was looking at his own precious grandson.

After all, in this small village, it is a very rare thing to have a scholar.

This is a scholar! And he has to take the imperial examination.

My goodness! If this is true, he is the only educated person in the village!

The village chief thought to himself, if Wuyi really passed the exam and became a scholar, it would be a great honor for the family!

By then, their entire village will be proud of it!

Thinking of this, he liked Wuyi even more, and even began to imagine the scene when Wuyi would become the top scorer in high school in the future.

Old Man Yu looked at the excited expression of the village chief and felt secretly proud, knowing that the matter was settled.

He took out a heavy ingot of silver from his pocket, handed it to the village chief, and said with a smile: "Village chief, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter. Please go to the government office for us and get the household registration done."

The village chief took the silver, but his expression suddenly changed. He pushed the silver back and said, "What are you doing? Don't you trust an old man like me?"

Old man Yu quickly explained: "Brother, don't get me wrong, of course I trust you! But this trip to the government office requires a lot of scheming. This is for our family, so why would I let you pay for it yourself?"

The village chief frowned after hearing this. "What are you talking about? I'm so old, how could I be greedy for your little money? Besides, this kid is your grandson-in-law now, his parents are gone, so he is a member of our village! It's my duty to help him, why would I need this money?"

Old Man Yu smiled and patted the village chief on the shoulder. "Brother, I know you mean well, but as the saying goes, money makes the world go round. The people in this government office are all greedy and ruthless. If you don't give them some benefits, they may not work hard."

The village chief was still somewhat reluctant, "But I can't take so much money from you..."

Old Man Yu waved his hand and said, "It's not much, it's just a small token of my appreciation. Take it. I'll thank you after the matter is done."

The village chief hesitated for a while, and finally accepted the silver. "Okay, since you said so, I'll keep it first. But if there is any extra, I will definitely return it to you."

Old man Yu smiled and nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you, brother."

The two exchanged some pleasantries before Old Man Yu took Wu Yi away.

A few days later, Wuyi's household registration was completed.

Tuanzi guessed correctly that the village chief had registered his household registration in the Yu family. To some extent, he could be considered a son-in-law of the Yu family.

The news that Wuyi was a scholar and was going to take the imperial examination spread throughout the village.

There is no doubt that this incident caused a huge sensation and became a hot topic among the whole village.

"Have you heard? The grandson-in-law of the Yu family is a scholar!"

"I know, I know. He will take the Tongsheng exam in half a month! If he passes, he will be a Tongsheng master."

"How lucky is the Yu family? They actually found a scholar as their grandson-in-law."

"What's that? Look at this new son-in-law, he's so handsome and polite. He was even smiling at me yesterday. It's obvious that he's the material for the top scholar."

"Yes, yes, I saw him yesterday. He is so handsome, just like a fairy from heaven!"

"Wow, so good? The Yu family really found a treasure."

"That's right. With a son-in-law like this, the Yu family will be prosperous!"

"Hey, do you think he will pass the exam and become a scholar?"

"Who knows? But since he can take part in the Tongsheng exam, he must have some knowledge."

"Yes, if he passes the exam, the Yu family will be really proud."

"Well, I hope he can pass the exam, so that our village can have a scholar."

"..."

Wuyi, who was being talked about by everyone, was currently studying hard in the room!

To be honest, he has absolute confidence in his talent, so he doesn't need to study so hard.

However, whenever he saw the expectant eyes of Old Man Yu and Old Lady Yu, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous, and he would involuntarily pick up the book and bury his head in studying.

Forget it, even though he knew he would definitely be on the top, he still had to work hard for a few more days to reassure these two old people!

This may calm them down a little.

After all, it was quite good for these two old people. Every day, I made delicious food for them to nourish their bodies.

Thinking of this, Wuyi picked up the book again, immersed himself in it, and began his arduous learning journey.

When Yu Yan entered the house carrying a plate of her grandmother's freshly made magical tofu, she felt a little pain in her eyes when she saw the contents on the paper.

It seems that we have to put finding a teacher for him on the agenda.

However, he is now full of confidence, so he might as well wait until he fails the Tongsheng Examination in a month before raising the issue again!
