Chapter 588 Golden Bell Cover, System Upgrade
After the parade, Jiang Youzhen went back home. An hour had passed and everyone dispersed and went back to their homes.
Tong Huaian and Wen Ruyu still had to go back to report the good news, so the three of them went back home without saying much.
这时系统的奖励总算到了，【恭喜宿主完成任务，系统奖励宿主升级存放活物区域100m3、20滴灵泉水、中级酿酒技能、金钟罩1只（只能抵御1次）】
"System, what is the Golden Bell Cover?" Jiang Youzhen was very surprised. Could it be a defensive artifact?
[This is just the primary Golden Bell Cover, it can resist one attack. No matter what kind of attack it is, as long as the Golden Bell Cover is activated, it can resist.]
Jiang Youzhen looked curiously at a piece of yellow talisman paper in the system backpack. From time to time, it was emitting white silver light, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.
She couldn't help but think of the immortal cultivation novels she had read in her previous life. Could this be a defensive talisman?
Thinking of this, she asked. The system flatly denied that such a thing did not exist, and it only existed because of the system's special features.
Jiang Youzhen was skeptical as she had already seen several special rewards.
For example, the mermaid's chanting skill and the water-repellent beads are simply not something that mortals can access and are not in line with common sense.
But now is not the time to ask further questions. Jiang Youzhen has to hurry back and get to the palace before 3 p.m., so time is very tight.
[Remind the host that the host has started a new journey. The system will be upgraded next. During this period, the host cannot open the system. Please stay tuned! ]
"What? You want to upgrade again?" Jiang Youzhen had just asked this question when the system started counting down.
"3...2...1..."
Without giving Jiang Youzhen any chance to react, he just reported three numbers and then there was no more movement.
"System? System?"
As expected, the system stopped responding, so Jiang Youzhen had no choice but to stop asking questions.
"Congratulations, Master and Madam. Your son has won the first place in the imperial examination. This is a great joyous event!"
The Jiang family mansion was bustling with activity, and the officials inside were saying auspicious words.
Jiang Fugui couldn't stop smiling when he heard that.
Daya looked at Shen and winked, and Shen remembered that she had the maid behind her hand over two red envelopes. The two men pinched them and found that they looked like ingots, and they were immediately overjoyed.
"The emperor has shown great favor and has granted the title of sixth-rank historian to the top scholar in the Hanlin Academy. From today on, that person will be Lord Jiang."
Everyone was delighted to hear this; they did not expect that the official position would be revoked immediately.
"Then please do me the honor of having a simple meal in my house!" Jiang Fugui said hurriedly.
"We two would like to share in the good fortune of Lord Jiang's family, but we still have to go somewhere else to announce the good news, so this is not a big deal."
After seeing off the official who brought the good news, Jiang Fugui went to the main entrance to scatter money for the celebration. He brought in two large baskets of copper coins. The place was already packed with people.
Everyone was saying auspicious words for free, and congratulations were heard everywhere.
"I'd like to thank you all for your good wishes. My son has won the first place in the imperial examination, which is a great event that brings honor to our family. If you don't mind, please share in the joy."
Jiang Fugui is now adept at speaking polite words. After dealing with all kinds of people for so long, he has naturally learned a lot of these formalities.
"Okay! Let us also share in the good fortune. The Jiang family is so generous!"
Everyone was eagerly waiting, this was throwing money, who wouldn't be happy? Even the children gathered together, everyone was ready to grab it.
Firecrackers blasted at the door, and the crisp sound of copper coins rolling on the stone floor attracted everyone to rush forward. The servants threw the coins vigorously, and everyone had a smile on their face.
When Jiang Youzhen came back on his horse, he saw that the door was full of people. Someone shouted, "The number one scholar is back!"
Everyone turned around to look. The man wearing a red robe and riding a tall horse was the top scholar. Everyone immediately made way for him, and Jiang Youzhen bowed to everyone.
Jiang Youzhen received congratulations again and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
At this time, the main gate of the mansion was wide open, and all the men in the family gathered at the door. When they saw Jiang Youzhen coming, they cheered.
"Dad!" Jiang Youzhen walked to the doorstep of his home under the watchful eyes of everyone, then looked at Jiang Fugui and shouted.
"Hey! Great! Congratulations to my son for being the top scorer in high school!"
At this moment, Jiang Fugui felt very complicated. He was happy and relieved, but also a little confused about the future.
"Brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, third brother-in-law!" Jiang Youzhen shouted to his three brothers-in-law.
"Congratulations to Xiaolang for being the top scorer in the imperial examination. I wish you a bright future and a smooth career!" the three said in unison.
Jiang Youzhen nodded with a smile, "Thank you for your good words, my three brothers-in-law!"
"Come in quickly! Mom and your sisters are waiting so long that their necks are sore."
As he walked along, the mansion was filled with joy. Whenever he met servants who congratulated him, Jiang Youzhen responded with a smile and ordered the manager of the outer courtyard to give them rewards.
When I arrived at the main room, I found that Shen and others were already standing at the door.
Shen looked at Jiang Youzhen walking towards her. The bright red robe made the young man look handsome and elegant. Her eyes were complicated and difficult to read.
"Mom!" Jiang Youzhen stepped forward quickly and held Shen's arm.
"Ah!" Shen was somewhat moved, "My son finally got his wish!"
She had tears in her eyes and was somehow filled with emotion.
Lying on Jiang Youzhen's chest, she choked up a little and whispered, "It's hard for you!"
Jiang Youzhen was a little moved. At this moment, Jiang Fugui came over. She let go of Shen, then lifted her skirt and knelt on the ground.
"My son lived up to the trust of the whole family and became the top scorer in the imperial examination. Father and mother, please accept my greetings!"
Jiang Youzhen kowtowed deeply, and the couple accepted this gift.
Once she entered the government, the lives of the entire family would be tied to her. Although the couple had limited knowledge, they also understood the crime of deceiving the emperor. If they were discovered one day, they would be doomed.
But they still allowed her to take the imperial examination and enter the officialdom. They followed her temper and used the lives of their entire family to send her into the official career.
This is already a sign of doting on her, shouldn't she be honored by him?
Yes, she had a system, and even if she was discovered, she would have a way to escape, but her family didn't! They still believed in her and were willing to risk their lives for her. This was the karma she owed.
Zhao Wei and others who arrived later were also very moved. They used to think that Xiaolang was too doted on by his family, but now they think that Xiaolang deserves it.
The young man is sensible, filial to his parents, and caring and loving to his sisters. He really deserves the kindness of his family. He is a good and responsible son.
"Oh! What are you doing? Get up quickly!" Shen hurriedly stepped forward to support him, feeling deeply moved.
Jiang Fugui also stepped forward to help Jiang Youzhen up, "Your father is proud of you!"
Just this one sentence is worth a thousand words.
"I am grateful to my parents and family for their tolerance towards me." Jiang Youzhen said sincerely.
