"Yo! You're all back? How was the trip to the Capital?"
"What's the Capital like? Is it crowded?"
"Must've spent a lot of money, right?"
...
"Of course! The Capital is so much fun! The streets are packed with people. We even went to Tiananmen and the Imperial Palace, places where nobility used to live! So huge! What does this money matter anyway? We traveled in sleepers, both ways! Comfortable and relaxed. Guibao has made something of himself; money's no issue!"
Zhou Zhaodi said, waving her hand and raising her voice.
As she spoke, she even stopped to show off and brag.
"Tingyun scored full marks and got into Capital University, and Guibao topped the entire school and was admitted to Judicial University. In the future, they're bound to become officials!"
This triggered a flood of envy among the villagers.
"Tingyun and Guibao are truly exceptional! They've been top students since they were little!"
