The news of Zhao Minglang becoming the Champion Scholar spread like a spring breeze throughout Changzhou City, and the Zhao family was enveloped in a joyous atmosphere.
In Changzhou, in front of Hundred Herbs Hall, there was a festive mood.
"Our second young master has become the Champion Scholar, the owner is giving out celebratory money."
The Steward brought out a basket of copper coins: "Don't crowd, everyone will get some, everyone will."
Normally, other families would just scatter the money, but Old Master Zhao didn't allow it, preferring a direct distribution. No matter young or old, male or female, everyone who came could receive two copper coins, it's not much, just a token of good fortune.
