The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

If the poem presented at the county government office that day shocked everyone and made Chu Ning'an stand out among the students in Pingyang County, then today's first place in the county exam made him a well-deserved leader among students in this field.

The entire Tianxiang Tower fell silent for a moment, as everyone seemed stunned by the news. Someone suddenly blurted out, "Chu Ning'an is the top scorer in the county case!", seemingly breaking the frozen silence. Congratulations soon followed from all directions.

"Congratulations to Master Chu for winning first place in the county case. This is a cause for celebration!"

"Brother Chu is a talented man, and he truly deserves the title of first in the county!"

"Congratulations, Brother Ning An!"

......

The congratulations came one after another, each one sounded more sincere than the last, each one looked more genuine than the last, but how could Chu Ning'an not know that this was just a casual show between scholars.

At this moment, he wanted to go back to the courtyard to share this honor with Ru Yue, and tell her in person that he did not disappoint her expectations, and that he would win more and more glory for her. However, there was no way, he still had to deal with the aftermath of the things here himself.

"Thank you very much, thank you all!" His face was calm, and with his usual smile, he cupped his fists and thanked everyone. "All the tea today will be on my treat, please enjoy it."

He knew that Ah Xi had run back to the courtyard to inform Ru Yue after telling him the good news. Fortunately, Zhang Erqiang had already rushed over. He hurriedly winked at Zhang Erqiang. Fortunately, Manager Qin of Tianxiang Tower was an old acquaintance and would help out. Chu Ning'an felt more and more that the people under his and Ru Yue's command were still not up to the task of handling large situations. It seemed that he had to find a way to find some servants who could hold the scene after returning.

After some socializing, more than an hour had passed. Ah Xi returned to his side and said softly, "Sir, Mr. Wu has been waiting at home for a long time. He asked you to go home directly after you finish your work."

Chu Ning'an said goodbye to the shopkeeper Qin and hurried back to the courtyard with Zhang Erqiang. All he heard along the way was the announcement of the county examination results. Fortunately, he was only famous now and no one knew his face, otherwise this not-so-wide street would have been blocked.

The courtyard was particularly lively today. When the neighbors heard that their neighbor who had just moved in had become the top scorer in the county examination, they all came over with gifts and children to congratulate him, hoping to meet the top scorer and get some of the talent of Wenquxing. However, they came too early and the top scorer had not returned yet, so they had to put down their gifts and leave in disappointment.

Ru Yue and Chu Ning'an only brought Zhang Erqiang and A Xi this time. When they got busy, they realized that they didn't bring enough people and they still lacked experience. They must bring more people when the provincial examination comes. Nanny Qin must be brought by her side. Think about it, it seems that Nanny Qin is the only servant who can really handle things. It seems that they really need to find a way to buy a few more capable people when they go back this time!

I have to say, after two people have been together for a long time, they have the same ideas.

Fortunately, Mr. Wu arrived at the right time and Ah Xi also happened to rush back home, otherwise Ru Yue would not be able to handle these things alone.

When Chu Ning'an returned to the courtyard, Ru Yue had already prepared a large table of dishes and was chatting with Mr. Wu, County Magistrate Xu and Mr. Cheng.

Chu Ning'an knew that several seniors had been waiting here for a long time, and he couldn't help feeling apologetic and uneasy.

He hurriedly walked up to the crowd, bowed deeply, and respectfully bowed before them. He apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry! I've kept you waiting for so long. It's truly my fault. Please forgive me!"

His tone was full of guilt and self-blame, as if he felt very sorry for causing inconvenience to everyone because of his lateness.

Seeing him like this, Mr. Wu knew that he was feeling guilty for not being able to return in time to tell them the good news. He said nonchalantly, "Don't be so careless. Socializing with classmates is inevitable. The three of us are uninvited guests."

After they sat down, they ate and talked about the exam questions. County Magistrate Xu and Mr. Cheng had both seen the complete answers, while Mr. Wu looked at the draft that Chu Ning'an brought back.

Indeed, these essays are meticulously crafted, each possessing its own unique qualities and value. However, the essay "The Doctrine of the Mean," addressed to the people of the world, stands out, showcasing exceptional talent and wisdom. Like a radiant pearl, this essay radiates a dazzling brilliance that captivates the reader. With profound thought, exquisite prose, and a unique perspective, it explores the question of how to ensure a happy life for the people, leaving a profound impression. Both in its conception and expression, this essay is a masterpiece, truly admirable.

"I will definitely send this article to the prefect for his review. It is an excellent piece of work, well-reasoned and well-founded. If officials act in this way, it will surely benefit the people." County Magistrate Xu held the manuscript with excitement in his eyes, as if he had already seen the result.

"Your Excellency is too kind. The idea for this article comes from Ru Yue. She once said that from a country to a family, only when the economy is developed can financial freedom be achieved. Then, only then can the family and the nation prosper, the people be harmonious, and the imperial power be consolidated. Only then can the military be strong and the territory be stable. Otherwise, the country will no longer be a country, and the family will no longer be a family."

Ru Yue never thought that she was just telling Chu Ning'an about the significance of economic development in her previous life in her spare time, but she didn't expect that he could actually apply it to the scientific examination. She had to admit that smart people are powerful no matter where they are.

After listening to Chu Ning'an's few words, several people's eyes lit up. There was no doubt that money was useful, but no one had ever said that making money could be interpreted in this way for the country and the family. But they had to admit that it did make sense.

They were all smart people, and once they were enlightened, they were like a raging mountain torrent. Several of them stared at Ru Yue with wide eyes, their eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.

"Miss Ruyue, that's a brilliant idea. Could you elaborate on it?" Master Cheng, unburdened by his status, was the first to ask. His voice was filled with eagerness, as if he couldn't wait to hear more insights on the topic.

Others echoed her sentiments, expressing their hope that Ru Yue could continue to elaborate on her views. The entire scene was filled with a strong academic atmosphere, and everyone was full of curiosity and interest in Ru Yue's remarks.
