After hearing this, Scholar Shang was deeply moved, but he didn't say much and led Gu Jin'an and the others to the front courtyard's guest hall.
In the guest hall, the Village Chief Shang was already there with a dozen or so Shang Family People waiting. They were extremely pleased to see Gu Jin'an.
"Good Brother An has arrived," Village Chief Shang said, explaining to the Shang Family People: "This is Wenyuan's student, the first top scorer of Tianfu County, Brother Gu Jia'an."
"Village Chief, greetings to all the seniors of the Shang Family. I apologize for keeping you waiting," Gu Jin'an, led by Scholar Shang, greeted each of the dozen Shang Family People without putting on airs.
His attitude was exceptionally good, displaying complete respect from a junior to their elders, which satisfied the Shang Family greatly, even filling them with pride, having been greeted by the top scorer.
