Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng

Chapter 231: Winning the First Prize

The chief examiner and Magistrate Zhang took Lei Mingze and Huo Jinqian back to the Imperial Examination Hall. Gao Zhijun did not follow them because she believed that Magistrate Zhang and the chief examiner would not dare to frame Huo Jinqian.

When the chief examiner and Magistrate Zhang returned to the Imperial Academy, the chief examiner immediately found the courtyard where Huo Jinqian was taking the exam, found out the names of the candidates in that courtyard, and asked the soldiers to invite those candidates over. He also found the gatekeeper in charge of that courtyard and summoned him for questioning.

The gatekeeper learned the general situation from him and found out that everything was caused by him. He was immediately dismissed from his post and asked to go out and explain the situation to the candidates and their families.

When the gatekeeper found out that the instant noodles were made by the princess for Master Huo, he felt very regretful and regretted that he could not control his mouth.

When the candidates came, they all told the story, and their stories were exactly the same, except for one thing that was different.

The examiner personally asked Lei Mingze, and Lei Mingze could not stand the pressure and finally admitted that he was the one who slandered Huo Jingzhan.

The truth came out and the examiner disqualified Lei Mingze from taking the exam.

He personally went to the Imperial Examination Hall and explained the truth to the candidates and their families, and the matter was over.

Knowing that they had wrongly accused Mr. Huo, everyone felt ashamed, especially those who had accused him, all of whom apologized to Huo Jinqian in person.

Gao Zhijun asked Huo Jinqian to get on the carriage, and Qinglong drove the carriage away.

"Zhijun, thank you for explaining and defending me just now. I am very happy."

Huo Jinqian said to Gao Zhijun.

"You are my fiancé, we are one. If you are wronged, I will definitely defend you. We will rise and fall together."

Gao Zhijun said.

"By the way, were you scared just now?"

Gao Zhijun asked Huo Jinqian again.

"I'm not afraid. With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."

Huo Jinqian looked at Gao Zhijun and said.

Can this person choose the right situation and not flirt with others all the time?

"I'll feel relieved if you're not afraid."

Gao Zhijun didn't dare to look at Huo Jinqian, his eyes were too hot.

Mo Xue tried to humble herself as much as possible, she felt that she was a redundant person.

Qinglong drove them directly back to Huojia Village. When the officers and soldiers came to report the good news, they would go to Huojia Village.

Today, all the members of the Huo family stayed in Huo Village, and they all believed that Jinqian would definitely pass the high school entrance examination.

Return to Huojia Village and ask Mo Yu to open the gate. The soldiers will come over to announce the good news soon.

After entering the Huo Mansion, Xie Taichuan was also there.

Gao Zhijun told the Huo family what happened in the Imperial Examination Hall, and the Huo family was filled with indignation and cursed Lei Mingze.

Sure enough, not long after they returned, officers and soldiers came beating gongs to announce the good news.

"Hawking, your grandson has passed the imperial examination and the people who brought the good news have arrived at the village entrance."

The village head ran over to report the good news.

"I know. I'm waiting."

Hawking said with a smile on his face.

The sound of "bang bang" was heard, and they had arrived at the door of the Huo Mansion.

"Congratulations to Mr. Huo Jingzhan for winning the first place in the imperial examination!"

An officer shouted loudly while beating a gong.

"Sir, please come in."

Hawking invited the officers and soldiers in.

Gao Zhijun invited the officers and soldiers in for tea and gave them ten taels of silver as a reward.

The two officers and soldiers left happily and contentedly.

The government’s reward included one hundred taels of silver and three pieces of jewelry, including a jade pendant.

When the villagers of Huojia Village found out, they all came to congratulate. Gao Zhijun asked Qinglong and Canglang to go back to Gao's house and bring copper coins, candies and fruits.

Every villager who came to congratulate received two candies, two apples and two copper coins.

Gao Zhijun also told the villagers that a big banquet would be held in Huojia Village the day after tomorrow and hoped that everyone would come to the banquet.

The Huo family plans to offer discounts at the soap shop to celebrate Huo Jinqian's success in the imperial examination. If you buy 100 taels at a time in the store, you will get a 10% discount; if you buy 500 taels or more, you will get an 8.5% discount; if you buy 1,000 taels or more, you will get an 8% discount.

The next day, the soap shop posted a promotional notice: 10% off for purchases of 100 taels or more; 85% off for purchases of 500 taels or more; 20% off for purchases of 1,000 taels or more. This promotion lasted for three days.

The good news quickly spread throughout the streets of Taizhou, and managers from wealthy families lined up to buy the goods. They all wanted to stock up more so they could save a lot of money.

Sun's Restaurant also offered a promotion, offering a 10% discount on every 10% spent in the store for a period of three days.

Sunjia Hotpot Restaurant also offered a discount, with an 15% discount on all purchases in the store. This discount will last for three days.

The clinic also offered a discount, 9.5% off for all purchases of Jiuxin Pills, Ganmao Pills, Jiedu Pills, and Tuifever Pills, and this discount lasted for three days. Each person could only buy two of each type of pill.

Therefore, all the people in Taizhou knew that Huo Jinqian had won the first place in the imperial examination. His family, fiancée, and his fiancée's family all offered discounts to celebrate his success.

As the news spread, wealthy families and powerful officials in counties and prefectures asked their guards to send stewards to buy the pills. Even at a 95% discount, it still saved a lot of money.

The medical clinics in Taizhou are full of people, but they are not there to see a doctor, but to buy pills.

On the day of the banquet, Gao Zhijun invited officials from the government office, the chief examiner, the teacher from Taizhou Academy and Huo Jinqian's good classmate, as well as the teacher from Shuren Academy and business partners.

Today's banquet is a buffet, first come, first served, and it will be served all day.

Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian welcomed the guests at the entrance of the village, and when they were tired, they asked Huo Zhiyuan and Hong Qiujue to take over.

Magistrate Zhang and his companions brought gifts with them, and Qinglong and Canglang were overwhelmed with the gifts.

By the evening, everyone was too tired to move, but they were all happy for Huo Jinqian.
