The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 2827: Chapter 2827: Triple Firsts (1)

Li Xiang ultimately couldn’t stay with Yang Ruxin until Murong Xiaoxiao gave birth, because that night, Xie Tai came very sincerely to take her back, and Li Xiang, not wanting to argue with outsiders, followed along.

”Big sister, I think it’s still best for us to stay like this.” After watching the Xie Family Manor’s carriage leave with Yang Ruxin, Erni couldn’t help but sigh, ”Big brother, Ayao, they’re both truly excellent men.”

Yang Ruxin glanced at Erni, ”Hehe, you’re really thinking Ayao is great, aren’t you?”

”Heihei, isn’t brother-in-law great?” Erni asked playfully, blinking.

”Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Yang Ruxin rubbed Erni’s head, ”No matter how good others are, in our hearts, our own man is always the best.”

Erni gave a thumbs-up.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, news came from the Hanzhong battlefield that Wei Yan’s army finally broke the city after a month-long siege and captured Zhao Qisong, the so-called descendant of Zhao Gou, who was previously spared by Gu Qingheng, known as Young Master Song San.

This rebellion finally came to an end after half a year.

However, it is regrettable that Qi Jinghao and Noble Consort have not been found, as if they vanished into thin air, leaving no trace despite all searches, not even a clue.

By February, good news also came from Ning Duke Cui Wei, severely defeating the coastal raiders, leaving only two of their dozens of warships to escape.

Although Qi Jinghao and Yong Cang were not dead, it’ll likely be a long time before they can cause trouble again; moreover, Yong Cang had been poisoned by her, ensuring he’ll live a life of constant torment.

Such an outcome is still quite satisfactory.

The news was relayed back to Beijing, making Emperor Xuanjing overjoyed, ordering great rewards for the soldiers and commanding an additional examination session.

Last September, there was a county examination, which was the Scholar’s exam to becoming a Candidate, but it was canceled due to the war, rescheduled for this September. This year’s original February’s metropolitan examination was postponed by a month, for Candidates to become Presented Scholars, now scheduled for March 9th to 12th, and correspondingly the palace examination was moved to April 1st.

Guan Qingshu participated in the metropolitan exam and once again came out on top, becoming the top scorer.

In the subsequent palace examination, this boy did not disappoint anyone and was personally appointed as the Champion by Emperor Xuanjing, being the first-place winner in all three exams, his fame unmatched for a time.

Yet, Guan Qingshu did not display even a hint of conceit, nor was he remotely excited, a stark contrast to those students who were crying with joy, making the Emperor regard him even more highly, while Wang Yaze was overjoyed, outright claiming this boy had unlimited future potential, clearly seeing him as a successor to be groomed.

And when Guan Qingshu faced others’ inquiries, he would generously tell them he was just a boy from the countryside, his family all farmers, their home in Dapu East Village, Baihua County.

Thus, Lianhua Town’s Budong Village became famous.

Directly becoming a living advertisement for Yang Ruxin’s Budong School, people came over in an endless stream to enroll, making Chu An’s moustache curl up in delight.

At the end of April, the two armies returned triumphantly to the capital.

In May, Gu Qingheng and Gu Yao returned, and along with them came Yang Rusong.

Yang Rusong left two years ago, originally saying he would wander for three years before returning, but when he heard about the war last year, he impulsively headed to the front lines, and since he was in Jiangnan at the time, he went to Quanzhou, where he unexpectedly encountered Gu Qingheng.
