Gongs and Drums Thundered Through Rongguo Mansion, and Big-Faced Bao's Arrogance Knew No Bounds!

For ten days straight, Jia Huan had worked nine to five, leaving the office during the shen hour each afternoon to return home.

That day, as he rode back to the mansion, he saw red streamers and colorful ribbons hanging from the East and West Corner Gates. Firecrackers, gongs, and drums sounded throughout both Jia Family mansions, and the servants and maids had even received a few copper coins as celebration money.

"Second Master Bao passed!"

"Second Master Bao passed!!"

His face glowing, Lai Da vigorously beat a gong as he walked.

The moment he spotted Third Master Huan, he lowered his head and took a detour.

Jia Huan glanced at an older serving woman and casually asked:

"What happened?"

Apart from his own residence, he paid almost no attention to the mansion's other affairs.

The woman answered with utmost deference:

"Third Master Huan, Second Master Bao earned Tongsheng status in this Imperial Examination! The Old Madam is holding a banquet to celebrate today."

Jia Huan found it laughable.

Meanwhile, Jia Baoyu wore a Purple-Gold Crown and a red flower on his chest. He walked with his head held high and his chest thrust out, while Madam Wang beside him wore a smile unseen in a long time.

This was her Kirin Child!

He had merely been unruly before. In intelligence and talent, no one under heaven could match him!

Hadn't he brought the Jia Family an opening victory in his very first examination?

Upon reaching the Five-Courtyard Compound, Jia Baoyu knelt at the threshold and sincerely bowed in thanks:

"Without Grandmother, I could never have come this far. Whatever success your grandson has achieved today is thanks to your patient guidance."

Jia Mu glowed with vigor and moved as swiftly as if on wings, personally helping her precious darling
