Furthermore, Mrs. Wang's youngest son was an academic official in the Prefecture. Although he was only a subordinate eighth-rank official—not as high-ranking as a County Magistrate—he regularly interacted with scholars and Advanced Scholars. During the annual Provincial Examination, he might even be selected to grade the exams.
This was a supreme honor, and his respectable and upright position was more than enough to earn him widespread reverence.
Never mind the Wang Family's status in the Prefecture; simply because of their scholarly reputation, even the County Magistrate of Qingshui County held them in high regard.
For Mrs. Wang's birthday, not only would the County Magistrate's wife be in attendance, but the families of the other local gentry and respected elders would certainly go to offer their congratulations as well.
And since the Wang Family had two grandsons of marriageable age this year, all the womenfolk in the county were abuzz with excitement.
