"Hmm." Taoming Ye nodded.
"Father is really happy today. I've never seen him treat me so kindly like he did today, and towards Grandma as well."
"Because you ranked first in the exam."
"Just because I ranked first, he changed his attitude so much. If I actually become the top scholar in the future, wouldn't he be even happier?"
Taoming Ye laughed, "If you become the top scholar, Father will definitely book a restaurant, hold a feast for three days. He'll also grandly honor our ancestors."
Su Xing chuckled, "Isn't that too exaggerated?"
"The Tao family has never had a top scholar, and you're a female scholar. Such glorious matters for the family are appropriate. You see other families that get promoted, their ceremonies are even grander." He paused, "Father is someone who really cares about face. As long as someone brings him prestige, he gets especially happy. You just happened to bring him great pride this time."
