Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister

Jiang Changtian came out from the inner room, leaning on his cane.

The visitor was Jiang Changtian's classmate, the kind of person with whom he didn't usually socialize much. He pulled out a card from his pocket.

"This is an invitation from the Guo family. They're inviting all the students from this year's academy to a poetry gathering at the Guo family's house tomorrow. I heard they've also invited the tutor. We're all planning to go, and I just happened to be passing by, so I brought it to you."

"Your family owns a restaurant? It took me ages to find out."

The classmate handed the invitation to Jiang Changtian, then looked around the small restaurant and was taken aback when he saw Lin Shuyun and Xiao Qing.

Upon seeing Qin Niangzi, he was completely stunned.

Xiaoqing's eyes turned slightly cold as she smiled and reminded him, "Scholar, your eyeballs are popping out."

The classmate immediately blushed and said, "I'm sorry, I was rude."

Then he said to Jiang Changtian, "I didn't know your family owned a restaurant. I'll definitely invite more friends to patronize it in the future."

As he spoke, the classmate couldn't help but glance at Qin Niangzi.

"Thank you." Jiang Changtian blocked his classmate's view in front of Xiao Qing.

"I'm leaving now, remember to come!" The classmate took two steps, then couldn't help but turn back.

Xiaoqing threw the tablecloth on the table and muttered under her breath, "You lecher, what kind of scholar are you!"

Lin Shuyun leaned over the table, resting her chin on her hands. "Everyone likes to take a second look at good-looking people, as long as they don't have bad intentions. Just like I love looking at Brother Xiaoqing."

"You're the best at sweet-talking people." Xiaoqing blushed instantly.

Jiang Changtian curled his lip and deliberately picked up the invitation.

As expected, Lin Shuyun's attention was drawn to the invitation, and she craned her neck to look at it.

"Isn't the results going out tomorrow? What kind of poetry gathering is that Guo guy organizing?"

"The release of the results is a perfect opportunity to win over promising scholars; that should be the plan."

Qin Niangzi sat at the next table with her legs crossed, showing no concern for her appearance whatsoever, her posture as wild as could be.

Anyway, it's not mealtime now, and once the braised food is sold out, there's no one left.

Old Xu went out for a stroll again; he only goes for walks when he's busy.

In his words, he was just going for a walk after meals, believing that a good walk after eating would help him live to ninety-nine.

"I see. Are you going, my husband?"

Lin Shuyun stroked her chin. Her husband and Guo Chong had a grudge against each other. Could this be a trap?

"go."

Jiang Changtian's tone was firm. What was the point of simply avoiding it? This grudge must be avenged.

"It's a pity we can't bring family members, otherwise I could have gone and broadened my horizons." Lin Shuyun said this, but in her heart she was already planning how to sneak in.

Xiaoqing interjected, "What's so special about this? The Deer Cry Banquet in Shengjing, personally presided over by the Emperor Emeritus, that's what's truly spectacular."

"You've seen him before?" Lin Shuyun looked over immediately.

Xiaoqing paused slightly, "No, I heard about it."

"Oh, what did you say? I'm going to cook. When my husband passes the imperial examination and comes back from the Deer Cry Banquet, he can tell us about it." Lin Shuyun was about to go into the kitchen.

Jiang Changtian looked at Xiaoqing with a meaningful gaze, and was about to ask a probing question.

"I am back."

Old Xu, wearing a large straw hat and carrying a basket, ran in from outside.

"Girl, try this." Old Xu lifted the basket and handed it to Lin Shuyun like a treasure.

There were seven bright red peaches inside.

"Where did it come from? It looks big and fresh."

Xiaoqing and Qin Niangzi both reached out to take it at the same time.

Old Xu patted each of the outstretched hands.

"Go away, all of you, get out of the way. These are peaches I bought for Yun'er. I spent all my wages on these peaches."

Lin Shuyun pays everyone a monthly wage, which they can use as they please.

Xiaoqing and Qin Niangzi have only been here for less than a month, so they haven't received their wages yet.

Lin Shuyun picked one up without hesitation and took a bite, juice flowing everywhere. "Sweet, old man, you can order for dinner."

"Really? Then I want braised pork knuckle." Old Xu chuckled, having been waiting for this very sentence.

“Okay, I happen to have a braised pork knuckle.” Lin Shuyun nodded.

Xiaoqing interjected, "No, don't you get tired of eating meat every day?"

Old Xu has been eating braised meat every day for the past few days; he's probably had enough of the smell by now.

Old Xu rolled his eyes. "You're not eating?"

Xiaoqing:......

There were seven peaches in total. Lin Shuyun got two, and the rest were one for each person.

Lin Hongwen isn't at the restaurant today; he's reading at home. Old Man Xu left some peaches for him, which he'll take with his dinner later.

If Lin Shuyun hadn't eaten two and then stopped, all of these would have been hers. The others only ate one, and Old Man Xu rolled his eyes at each of them.

After finishing the peach, Qin Niangzi stared at Old Man Xu for a long while. "Old man, what's your surname?"

Peaches of this quality are impossible to buy on the market, and ordinary families simply cannot afford them.

Moreover, this old man always seemed somewhat familiar to her.

Old Xu gathered the peach pits together and casually said, "My surname is Xu."

Upon hearing this, Madam Qin said "Oh" and went into the kitchen. It was good that it wasn't the one she had heard of.

Xiaoqing glanced at Old Man Xu fiddling with the peach pits several times, then lowered her head and absentmindedly wiped the table.

Jiang Changtian observed the three people discreetly: a godfather, an aunt, and an older brother.

Weirdness is revealed everywhere.

……

……

The next morning.

No one went to the store, but everyone got up very early in the morning.

Because the results were released today.

"Sis, didn't you say you didn't care whether your husband took the exam or not?"

Seeing that his sister was already getting ready to leave, Lin Hongwen jokingly teased her.

Lin Shuyun adjusted the hairpin securing her Taoist nun's hair. "Yes, I don't care. Anyway, I can support your brother-in-law. I'll just go join in the fun."

Lin Hongwen just chuckled.

"Yunyun, come here." Madam Qin stood at the door and beckoned to Lin Shuyun.

Lin Shuyun walked over. "Aunt, what's wrong?"

Qin Niangzi pulled the hairpin out of Lin Shuyun's hair, and Lin Shuyun's long black hair fell loose.

"I've been fed up with your hair for a long time. Are you trying to become a nun?" Qin Niangzi tapped her forehead.

Lin Shuyun's face felt a little itchy, and she shook her head. "I don't know how to comb my hair. I feel like combing my hair into a bun is too troublesome."

She is very busy when she gets up in the morning, which is definitely not an excuse for her laziness.

Qin Niangzi pulled Lin Shuyun into the room, made her sit down, and quickly tied her hair into a bun and put on the wooden hairpin. "All done."

Lin Shuyun felt her hair was holding up quite well, even better than her Taoist nun's hairstyle, and asked with a grin, "Auntie, does it look good?"

There's no mirror at home, I'll buy one later.

"Go ask your husband." As soon as Madam Qin finished speaking, she saw Jiang Changtian staring intently at Lin Shuyun from the doorway.

He immediately burst into laughter, "Look at you, you're so pathetic. All you did was change your hairstyle. If Yunyun dressed up like that one day, wouldn't your eyes pop out of your head?"

Jiang Changtian's ears burned.

"Does my husband look good?" Lin Shuyun walked over with a smile, and Jiang Changtian's heart beat a little faster.

"It looks nice, let's go."

With her aunt there, Lin Shuyun stopped teasing him, and the two went to the entrance of the county government office.

The list of successful candidates was posted right in front of the county government office.

"My God, am I seeing things? Number one!"
