All the things in Mu Xinghe's house were moved to the Qiao family.

Including the plaque of the "Family of the Top Scholar" and the tablets of my parents, to prevent the Mu family from destroying them.

If he could stay in the capital, he would bring his parents' tablets to the capital.

If he were sent back to his hometown, he would build a new house in Datian Village.

The Qiao family knew yesterday that Mu Xinghe had passed the imperial examination, but they didn't expect that he would actually rank first in the Southwest region.

It's simply exhilarating.

The two elders of the Qiao family couldn't stop laughing. For the first time, Old Man Qiao wondered how he could be so smart that he actually took a fancy to a top scholar.

With such talent, he is sure to pass the imperial examination, it just depends on his ranking.

"Xinghe, we'll put these boxes away for you. You can cook and eat the dried meat and smoked fish that the villagers gave you, otherwise they will go bad." said Old Mrs. Qiao.

Mu Xinghe said seriously, "Grandpa Qiao, Grandma Qiao, take the gold, silver, jewelry, and materials in the box and use them as you please."

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?"

"If it weren't for the food, clothing, and shelter you provided, and if the county lady hadn't allowed me to study in the capital, I wouldn't have been able to do so well in the exam. All of these things are thanks to you, but they're not enough to repay even one ten-thousandth of your kindness."

The clothes he wore were made of very fine material, prepared for him by the Qiao family. The first time he went to take the exam, he was looked down upon by many other students because of his shabby attire.

But this time, because of his decency, he made several friends. It is exactly the same principle as respecting the clothes first and then respecting the people.

Seeing him so grateful and sincere, the Qiao family was very relieved and felt that they had not misjudged him.

"Good boy, keep all these. After you get married, they will be your family's property. The Qiao family has no shortage of these." Old Mrs. Qiao said kindly.

"Then, I'll use it as a betrothal gift to marry Xi'er." Mu Xinghe's eyes were a little hot.

Old Man Qiao laughed heartily and waved his hand: "What does the Qiao family need from you? If you're talking about a betrothal gift, the title of Jieyuan is more than enough."

"Just concentrate on your studies. You have no parents, and your uncle has no conscience. Your marriage will be arranged by our Qiao family."

Mu Xinghe returned to his room and sat at the desk, but he couldn't concentrate on reading and tears flowed down his face.

In the evening, the Mu family came to the door again, but before they could even shout, they were driven away by the soldiers.

When they came back the next day, the soldiers simply drew their swords.

"Mu Xinghe, you are such a heartless person. You have become an ungrateful person after passing the exam. You are so unkind and unfilial. When you pass the imperial examination and someone from above comes to investigate your character, don't expect the Mu family to speak well of you."

Yes, Daze State not only implemented the imperial examination system, but also cooperated with a certain system of selecting filial and honest officials. After the autumn examination, there was the metropolitan examination. If one failed to pass the imperial examination, the Juren would generally be granted a small-rank official position. If one passed the imperial examination, he would have a better position.

Before assigning a position, the superiors will send people to the student's hometown to investigate his or her character and other related matters from local officials and people. If the person has a bad reputation, the position may be vacant, which means the exam has been in vain.

Among all qualities, filial piety should be the most important. A person who is unfilial to his parents and relatives and elders is definitely disloyal to the country and will not be considered for appointment.

So, when he heard his uncle shouting like this outside, a look of worry appeared on Mu Xinghe's face.

He almost forgot that the Mu family could still influence his future, but they were ruthless and ungrateful to him before, and now they are clinging to him like leeches, which he cannot accept.

Qiao Jianer sneered and walked out of the house.

"Don't worry, the whole village and I, the county lord, are here to guarantee you. No matter how much you try to smear Brother Xinghe, it won't work."

Boss Mu glared but was speechless.

Qiao Jianer returned to the house: "Brother Xinghe, don't take it to heart. The Mu family can't control you on this point."

"The Mu family went too far and it's intolerable. It's impossible for the higher-ups to be unable to distinguish right from wrong."

Mu Xinghe thought about it and felt relieved.

The wedding day soon arrived. The Qiao family also made some arrangements at Mu Lao Si's house. They went there to hold the wedding ceremony first, and then brought the young couple back.

If the Mu family wasn't so unreasonable, they wouldn't even do this when getting married.

The Mu family did not come to the party, but the Shen family came instead.

Shen Liang drank silently. He didn't expect that Mu Xinghe had such strength and Qiao Xier was so lucky.

It turns out that he was also a conceited person, but now, he just feels that he is insignificant.

A person's talent is limited, and there are some people you can only look up to forever.

"The Qiao family is truly blessed. Whoever gets involved with them is lucky. Just look at Mu Xinghe. He might even become the top scorer in the imperial examination. Shen Liang, do you regret this?"

The villager sitting next to him patted Shen Liang on the shoulder, with an expression of watching the fun on his face.

"Oh, everyone has their own destiny." Shen Liang's face was a little gloomy and he didn't want to say more.

The Qiao family is very generous with their ingredients. The tables are large and every dish is very rich. You can pack up any leftovers to take home.

With the financial resources of the Qiao family, they don’t care whether the gifts given by the villagers can recoup the cost.

As long as the scene is lively, festive and grand, everyone enjoys the meal and the banquet goes smoothly.

Qiao Jianer brought the Chu family, including Wei Chi and Gao Shuying, and also brought the Qiao family from the capital, including the Pei brothers.

After a few days, they were sent back to everyone, and Mu Xinghe and Qiao Xier were also sent to the capital.

The express report of the Southwest District Champion has been sent to the capital, but the news that Mu Xinghe is in the capital has not spread.

Because according to the distance, it would take half a month to travel on horseback at full speed.

This time, Qiao Jianer was not in a hurry to find a teacher for him. By then, many famous teachers would come to him.

Entering the underground ice storage of the house, there were rows of ice bricks stacked inside, with no end in sight. Inside the ice bricks were durian, sugar-apple, and coconut. There were still some left, so Qiao Jianer restocked the store.

One of the important reasons why she bought this big house was because there was a large ice storage in the basement.

I have to say, the original owner really knew how to enjoy life.

Butler Chai took the list and directed people to take the durians out of the ice storage one by one.

The wealthy families are a bit tired of eating nuts, but not durian. Due to the hot summer, many people like to drink coconut water. These two things maintain extremely high sales every day. There are even nobles from nearby cities who come to the Qiao family in Beijing specifically to buy them.

Butler Chai carefully keeps the accounts every day. He knows that he is secretly doing some tricks and Miss Qiao can't see it, but he always adheres to the principle of honesty.

Qiao Jianer has a space for accounting, and the books match those of Butler Chai. Despite such a large volume of goods sold, Butler Chai didn't even have any interest in it.

He is a trustworthy person.

You know, during this period of time, she has arrested many housekeepers and accountants. They were tempted by just a little profit, which shows how rare housekeeper Chai is.

He was so happy that he tripled the monthly salary of housekeeper Chai.

Butler Chai was flattered and a little terrified. Did Miss Qiao no longer want him? She wanted to kick him out.
