Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich

Magistrate Lu’s words immediately triggered a wave of celebrations.

Only when Ye Guo received everyone's genuine happiness did he truly feel it.

In Daqing, the imperial examination was the only way for ordinary people to advance, and being a Tongsheng was also a respectable status.

It is a goal that can only be achieved through the efforts of many farmers, generation after generation.

At this time, the Sun family's housekeeper arrived and brought the good news. The atmosphere on the scene was particularly warm, and Sun Qian took out the wedding money very quickly.

Ye Guo’s wallet, which had just been emptied, was replenished.

While collecting the wedding money, he did not forget to joke with Magistrate Lu, "Fortunately, this list only includes students. If it were all scholars, your granaries would be empty, Brother Lu."

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Lu said sternly, "If there are really so many talented people, it will be a blessing for Daqing. It is only natural to support them. It is worth it."

The treatment of scholars in Daqing is really quite good.

Those with some background all sought an official position in the county government, such as county magistrate, chief clerk, etc. Although these positions were not of high rank, they were also an important way to enter the officialdom.

Ye Guo said that he just suddenly remembered that the scholars in Daqing were paid, and he couldn't help but look at County Magistrate Lu with a higher opinion.

I don’t know if all the Jinshi in Daqing are of such high standards.

As everyone was continuing to congratulate each other, they saw the yamen's legal advisor walk in with a smile on his face.

As soon as I entered the door, I congratulated Dean Li.

"There are a total of 123 students in Changhua County, and 52 of them are from the county school. Dean Li is going to be famous throughout Daqing now."

Although County Magistrate Lu had expected this, he still gasped when he heard the data.

"How many did you say? Fifty-two? Three years ago, in the imperial examination, I remember there were only forty-nine students in the entire Changhua County."

"Dean Li, this time you are truly famous overnight!"

I have to say that County Magistrate Lu is worthy of being an official. With just one sentence, he made Dean Li smile from ear to ear.

To see how important a good college is, just look at the prices of various modern school district houses.

Apart from anything else, Dean Li is definitely the biggest winner in this exam.

"It's all thanks to the county lady." Dean Li didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of Ye Guo. He stood up and bowed deeply.

She couldn't accept the gift from her teacher easily. She had never accepted the gift from Dr. Sun before. She was also unwilling to accept the gift from Dean Li, who had many students all over the world.

He dodged to the side and quickly helped the man up.

"I was just giving random ideas. It's mainly because Dean Li is decisive, otherwise we wouldn't have achieved such success." Ye Guo also congratulated him.

To be honest, she is very selfish.

"It's also thanks to the children's hard work. Many of them got sick and had to take medicine to get through the last month." Dean Li had tears in his eyes and was sincerely happy for those who passed the exam.

The look he gave Ye Guo became even more respectful.

He has never looked down upon the young girl who could become a county lady on her own.

Now seeing her taking all the credit for this huge achievement, her courage and lack of desire for fame or fortune are even more frightening.

You must make friends with people like this.

The excitement here did not last long, because no one who really deserved congratulations showed up.

Therefore, Ye Guo definitely cannot eat the meal at Zuixianlou.

The provincial examination would be held in half a month. Time waited for no one, and Ye Guo was anxious to go back and share the joy, so he offered to take his leave.

Sun Qian volunteered to personally send the person to the carriage.

"Xiao Guo, my family is also going to Yongzhou soon, why don't we go together?"

Ye Guo had just received the invitation personally delivered by him a few days ago. This time Sun Qian's whole family was moving, and a younger generation was going to take the exam, which was a double happiness.

Ye Guo did not refuse nor agree to his initiative, "I think this is a good idea, just hire a team of escorts. But you also know that since we are going to take the exam, we still have to follow the candidates' opinions."

"Then I'll wait for your exact news. We plan to set off in five days. After all, we have to move into a new house and there are too many things to prepare." Sun Qian had been reminded of this by his father before he came, but when it came to actually talking about things, he still knew how to grasp the measure.

Ye Guo nodded in agreement, "Uncle Sun, have you already figured this out? You picked the perfect time."

"Even if I don't go to congratulate you, I still have to go to see you off for the exam. I can't escape this trip anyway."

Sun Qian also laughed when he heard this, "If you weren't nostalgic, with your status, you would have gone to Yongzhou Prefecture long ago. How could you have waited until now?"

"I think Ah Cheng and the others will have to go to the Imperial City to take the exam again. Since we have to prepare, we might as well prepare more at once."

This is indeed a good idea. The two younger ones don’t know, but as long as Ye Lao Er can successfully apply for it, according to Xu Changqing, he will definitely be on the list.

So Ye Guo did not refuse and thanked him with a smile, "Then I'll tell them about your good words later."

After lowering the curtain, Ye Guo saw Old Man Ye, Old Lady Ye, and Boss Ye, all of them with smiling faces.

"I heard that Ping An and Ye Zifeng both passed the exam. I heard from them that the test questions were difficult. Your sister-in-law and I really didn't sleep well for several nights." Boss Ye said with great emotion.

"That's right. I have to thank you very much this time, little sister. If you hadn't brought Ah Cheng to Lingnan and let him study in such a good college for a few months, he wouldn't have been so successful this time."

"Little sister, thank you so much." There was sincerity on Su's face that Ye Guo had never seen before.

If we were to ask who is the happiest person in the family, it would definitely be Boss Ye and Su.

They are the eldest in the family, and Ah Cheng is the oldest among the younger generations, with more responsibilities than himself. As farmers' children, they never dared to dream that such a day would come.

"Old lady's wife, now you know who is really doing good for you."

"I've told you to be more open-minded and look further ahead. If it weren't for Xiaoguo's decisiveness, a good child would have been delayed by you."

Old Mrs. Ye spoke to Su earnestly, her eyes falling on Ye Wan who was standing quietly beside her.

Then Ye Guo shook his head at her.

Mrs. Ye, who was about to say something, smiled and didn't continue.

Ye Guo squeezed Xiao Wan's hand and whispered in her ear, "There's better stuff to come, just be patient."

She knew very well that her aunt was always thinking about her.

Ah Cheng and his friends passed the exam, which made her happier than earning thousands of taels of silver.

She didn't even need to ask too much to know that if her sister-in-law went to Yongzhou Prefecture, she would definitely take her with her.

Her second uncle had also told her privately that the family had actually bought a house, a shop, and servants in Yongzhou Prefecture.

Even the masters of music, chess, calligraphy and painting had been invited for her in advance, just waiting for her to come.

Whenever Aunt Liu had free time, she would teach her a lot of things.

And all this wonderful life is because she has a younger sister-in-law.

She also wanted to be like her aunt one day and shine when standing next to anyone.
