The sound of gongs and drums rang all the way from the entrance of the prefectural office to the entrance of the Wang Estate, attracting many people who were watching the commotion.
"Why is the Wang Family beating gongs and drums again? Did someone in their family pass an exam again?"
"Speaking of which, this Wang Estate is really strange. Last year, their Young Master passed the imperial civil service examination. He was supposed to go to the capital to choose an official position, but he rejected it."
"Eh, how come I've never heard of it?"
The prefecture capital had never lacked rich families, let alone scholarly families. In the 22 counties and 36 major cities of Great Chang, Wangbei County was ranked in the top five. The prefecture capital was even the best in the entire county.
