The onlookers around the Su Family's Mansion praised them for producing a Jinshi Scholar.
Su Ke, dressed in court robe and with fresh flowers in his hair, walked briskly with a smile into the main entrance.
Patriarch Su led the entire family out of the parlor to welcome him personally.
Su Ke formally shook his robe and adjusted his headwear before he knelt down properly to pay his respects.
"Su Ke pays respects to Grandfather! To Father and Mother, to Second Uncle and Second Aunt, Third Uncle, and Third Aunt…"
He continued the long list of salutations before finally bowing his head to the ground.
Only after Su Ke had knocked his head against the floor three times did Patriarch Su laugh heartily and help him to his feet.
"My Ke'er! Today is the happiest day of your grandfather's life, you have brought honor to your grandfather! I am simply overjoyed!"
Patriarch Su raised his sleeve to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes, overcome with excitement.
