Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

Upon hearing Yang Fugong's official announcement that Liang Jingcheng had won the archery competition, Ye Changyan excitedly rushed from the crowd to the arena, hugged Liang Jingcheng's waist from behind, and spun around in joy on the arena.

Liang Jingcheng was startled by Ye Changyan's sudden action, but when Liang Jingcheng saw that Ye Changyan was holding him and spinning around, Liang Jingcheng finally let go of the tension he had been feeling since entering the finals. He completely relaxed himself and let Ye Changyan swing him so hard that his feet flew off the ground.

Hearing Ye Changyan's uncontrollable laughter, Liang Jingcheng laughed heartily without restraint like a spoiled child.

Seeing Ye Changyan running towards the stadium, Ao Chong'an, Fan Tao and Lu Xiaotong, the members of the Guozi Tiangang Polo Team, also ran towards the stadium. Seeing the two brothers who were overjoyed, the joy on everyone's faces was beyond words.

The students of the Imperial College at the scene all looked at Liang Jingcheng with envy as he was being held and thrown into the air by Ye Changyan. Especially the seven students from military officer families who entered the finals, they had complicated emotions, but none of them did not admire Liang Jingcheng's archery skills.

Seeing that Liang Jingcheng was finally let down by the sweaty Ye Changyan, the other students who entered the finals came forward to congratulate Liang Jingcheng, and then Meng Yanxi, who won the third place, spoke.

"I, Meng Yanxi, believe that my archery skills are on par with Zhu Guangmao's. In the last match, Young Master Liang defeated Zhu Guangmao and entered the finals. At that time, I was a little unconvinced. I thought that Young Master Liang advanced by luck. But in the final just now, Young Master Liang's archery skills really convinced me!"

Other students who came from military families also echoed his opinion, especially the few who finished the competition first. They watched the second half of Liang Jingcheng's game carefully. They had to admit that there was a big gap between them and Liang Jingcheng in terms of mentality and strategy.

The most regretful person at the scene was Patton, a student from Qianghu. Patton had lived on horseback since he was a child and grew up with goshawks and snow-capped mountains. His heart was as broad as the sky. He took the initiative to step forward, put one hand on his heart, and expressed his most sincere congratulations to Liang Jingcheng with the etiquette of the Qianghu people to their friends.

The officials of the Imperial College who were present at the scene all showed pleased smiles on their faces when they saw these scenes. The effect of today's competition was really far beyond expectations. It seemed that such competitions would have to continue to be held in the future.

Master Cai and his disciples in the stands saw Liang Jingcheng on the racecourse from afar. They felt as if they were surrounded by stars, and each of them had an uncontrollable joy on their face.

It was already noon, and Yang Fugong announced that the morning competition was over. A polo match would be held in the afternoon. After the polo match, the archery competition would be awarded together with the polo match.

Most of the people watching the scene had brought dry food with them. They gathered in groups of three or four, eating their dry food and talking with relish about the archery competition that had just ended.

The officials of the Imperial College had already prepared lunch at the racecourse for the officials and nobles who came to watch the game, and the students of the Imperial College also had lunch arranged for them all.

The officials and nobles, looking at the rather sumptuous meal on the table, all expressed their appreciation for the efforts made by the Imperial College in preparing for this event.

Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng said hello to their classmates and went to have dinner with Mr. Cai and their senior brothers.

A considerable number of students' fathers and brothers were present as guests invited to watch the game, and most of them went to accompany their fathers and brothers. Today's occasion was a rare opportunity to make connections.

During the banquet, some nobles and old friends came to greet Mr. Cai and his disciples. Mr. Cai also politely took this opportunity to introduce his young disciples to these old friends.

While they were talking, someone started asking about the watermelon.

Mr. Cai said with a smile according to what Ye Changyan had told him to do earlier.

"My two little disciples said they wanted to build an experimental field. They told me that they could eat strawberries before the New Year and watermelons before the Dragon Boat Festival. There would be fresh vegetables available all year round. I thought they were just kidding and fooling around."

As Master Cai spoke, he also glanced at the two young disciples in the corner.

"But they didn't listen to my advice. The two kids actually collected a lot of money and prepared to invest it in the experimental fields. Then they asked me to become a shareholder. After a lot of persuasion, I had no choice but to agree to use the farm left by their mistress as a share of the experimental land."

Then Mr. Cai showed a look of surprise and continued.

"Hey! I didn't expect that after tinkering with this experimental field for so long, they actually managed to produce something. At first, there were not many strawberries planted, so they shared some among their fellow apprentices. Not to mention, the strawberries were not only big, but also tasted surprisingly good."

Mr. Cai looked somewhat intoxicated, and everyone around him swallowed their saliva.

"These days, the watermelons in the experimental field have gradually matured. I had a small gathering at home a few days ago, and soon Yunfenglou came to our door, ready to buy all the watermelons in the experimental field."

When the people at the scene heard this, they were a little surprised at first, then they remembered that the nephew of Cai Zhengqing's wife seemed to have shares in Yunfenglou. Everyone nodded in understanding, but suddenly became worried. If all the watermelons were bought up by Yunfenglou, where would they go to buy them?

Seeing that his success had caused everyone to worry, Mr. Cai continued.

"At that time, the two children thought that they were studying at the Imperial College and did not have much time to worry about the watermelon business, so they thought of letting Yunfenglou buy all the watermelons. It was a good idea and they were about to agree to it, but I stopped them in time."

When everyone heard what Mr. Cai said, the worry on their faces eased a little.

"I feel that eating watermelon during the Dragon Boat Festival is somewhat rare in Shengjing. I originally planned to send two to a few of my old friends to try. But these two kids had a better idea. They said that there would be activities during the Dragon Boat Festival and everyone would come to watch the competition. Although there were not many ripe watermelons, it was enough for everyone to try. I agreed as soon as I heard it. If there are more ripe ones later, I will send some to a few of my old friends."

When everyone heard this, they all nodded approvingly. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to taste such good quality watermelon today.

"However, Yunfeng House came to us, and I stopped the plan of buying all the watermelons. But after the watermelons are grown, there will be more that will mature, and most of them will have to be sold. My brother-in-law and nephew were also present at the time, so I had no choice but to agree to set aside a portion of the supply for Yunfeng House first. If you like the rest, you can share it with everyone."

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng, who were standing in a corner, watched the teacher's performance and praised him in their hearts. They didn't expect that the teacher was actually an excellent salesman who was hiding his true talents.
