Before Ji Xiang arrived at Phoenix Village, an official rode a fast horse to Phoenix Town. When he reached the entrance of the village, he raised his voice and shouted the good news, "The top scholar of Phoenix Village, Zhou Jia, is a Top Scorer…"
When the people plowing the fields heard this, they wiped the mud off their legs and ran towards Li Yu's house. They shouted, "Xiaoyu, Mr. Zhou is the top scorer."
Li Yu and Li Mei's family all ran out of the house and towards the Zhou family.
The bailiff shouted all the way and was led to the entrance of the Zhou family. He shouted, "Congratulations, congratulations, Top Scorer. The Zhou family has received the good news!
Li Yu took the good news with a smile and handed a piece of silver to the bailiff. She smiled and said, "It's been hard on you."
