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

I thought they had arrived early enough, but when I got there I found that the area under the list was already packed with people.

There was a dense, dark mass of people, three or four layers deep. Unless you had X-ray vision, you couldn't possibly see the list.

However, Guo Hongfang's loud voice successfully attracted the attention of everyone present.

Incidentally, the crowd dispersed around him, making him the center of attention.

"Don't look at me, I'm not number one." Guo Hongfang awkwardly touched his nose.

He was tall, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Changtian immediately, waving excitedly.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, you're number one! You're number one! The top scholar!"

Well, the focus of everyone's attention has successfully shifted to Jiang Changtian.

Everyone was deeply impressed by Jiang Changtian's upright posture while using a cane.

After all, he was the only one in the entire academy who was lame and still studying.

Someone muttered under their breath, "How is it possible that he's number one?"

Guo Hongfang retorted, "What's impossible about it? Brother Jiang is outstanding and very knowledgeable. He always answers Master Feng's questions fluently."

Lin Shuyun took this opportunity to see clearly that the first one was Jiang Changtian.

Guo Hongfang had already squeezed out from the center of the crowd and was praising Jiang Changtian.

"Brother Jiang, you are truly a man of few words but great talent. Now let's see what that Mr. Li who looked down on you has to say. He might regret it to the core in the middle of the night."

"What do you call this? It's called when no one has any faith in you, but you're the most promising and hardworking one!"

Guo Hongfang became more and more excited as he spoke, almost bursting into laughter as if he were the one who had won first place.

"Did you win?" Lin Shuyun only glanced at the top and didn't see Guo Hongfang's name.

"I won! I'm the fortieth one!" Guo Hongfang was overjoyed.

There were sixty people on the list this time. He thought he wouldn't pass, but the result was below average, which is good enough.

At this moment, Feng Hao also squeezed out from the crowd, "I won too, I'm thirty-three, Brother Changtian, congratulations."

Jiang Changtian smiled, "Same to you."

“We all passed! Let’s go to Brother Jiang’s restaurant for a celebratory meal. It’s on me.” Guo Hongfang was already thinking about Jiang Changtian’s restaurant.

He had some things to do after the exam and didn't go to a restaurant to eat.

Feng Hao glanced at Lin Shuyun and quickly lowered his head. "No, I need to ask someone to send a message to my mother first. There's a poetry gathering organized by the Guo family this afternoon. Let's get together then."

He left in a hurry after saying that.

“That makes sense. I’ll write home too.” Guo Hongfang also remembered this. He had at least passed the exam, so he should tell his family first.

"Let's meet again this afternoon. I heard that Guo Zhong has a grudge against you. I'll keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble."

Guo Hongfang gave Jiang Changtian several more instructions before leaving, still feeling uneasy.

"Husband, let's go home and have breakfast." Lin Shuyun's eyes were full of smiles.

Jiang Changtian couldn't help but smile.

The Meng family's backyard.

"Xiao He, did you see clearly? Who is the one in charge?"

Hearing the noise outside the door, Meng Yingying asked.

Xiaohe hesitated at the door for a long time before bracing herself to come in and whispering, "Miss, the top scholar is Jiang Changtian."

Why did it have to be Jiang Changtian of all people?

Xiaohe shrank her neck and tried to stand as far away as possible, afraid of being beaten. The young lady these past two days has been terrible; she beats and scolds her at the slightest provocation.

Miss Mingming used to be gentle and kind to her.

Meng Yingying clenched her fists, her face turned pale, and she turned her head and gagged twice.

She felt nauseous just thinking about that day.

Jiang Changtian is Jiang Changtian.

She should have been happy, but Jiang Changtian was heartless and cruel, causing her...

"Yingying, what's wrong with you?"

Madam Meng happened to come in and saw her daughter's pale face, so she asked with concern.

"It's nothing, maybe I ate something wrong with breakfast, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable." Meng Yingying forced a smile. "Mother, is something the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to let you know that the Guo family has invited your father to the poetry gathering. I'll have your father keep an eye out for any of the scholars from the academy who come from prominent families, and try to arrange a marriage for you." Madam Meng's target was the young master from Shengjing, as rumored.

If it's true, as long as Yingying marries into the Meng family, their fortunes will rise accordingly.

"Mother, can I go to the poetry gathering?" Meng Yingying felt so angry; she wanted to go and poison that bastard Guo Zhong.

Madam Meng frowned. "They're all men. What are you going there for? Remember this: if you want to marry into a higher social class, you must never lose your dignity."

After saying that, he instructed Xiaohe, "Xiaohe, take good care of Miss, especially her diet. Don't let her look sickly. The higher the social status, the more attention is paid to a woman's health, otherwise it will be detrimental to her fertility."

"Yes." Xiaohe lowered her head, her voice barely audible.

After giving her some instructions, Madam Meng left, as she needed to find out about that young nobleman.

As soon as the person left, Meng Yingying's tears fell.

Given her condition, how can she possibly marry into a higher social class?

……

……

As soon as noon passed, the Guo family's house was bustling with visitors.

Although the Guo family were merchants, they were still very wealthy. It was said that in order to host this banquet, the Guo family hired the most famous chef in Wuyun County to cook, used the best wine, invited the teachers from the academy, and also had some connections with Prefect Qian.

When the group of scholars heard that the teachers from the academy had all arrived, they naturally all came.

Of the sixty scholars, at least fifty came.

In the side courtyard, Guo Zhong instructed Rouge, who was dressed as a maid, "When that Jiang guy comes in later, make sure to use the medicine. I'll make sure he's utterly disgraced in front of everyone."

So what if he's the top scholar? His reputation is ruined. Let's see if the academy will still want him.

Rouge winked at Guo Zhong in a coquettish tone, "Young Master Guo, if you bring people here, won't my body be exposed to everyone?"

Guo Zhong patted Rouge's face, "You prostitute, are you afraid of being seen? If this works out, I'll redeem you and give you some money so you can marry an honest man and live a peaceful life."

"Young Master Guo, you'd better keep your word." Rouge was deeply moved.

Although Jiang Changtian's wife hit her hard last time, Guo Zhong really gave her too much.

Let's take a gamble; maybe if it works out, she can turn over a new leaf.

"It's a promise. If you can't get it done, you know what will happen." Guo Zhong emphasized.

Rouge shuddered and hurriedly assured everyone that she could definitely do it.

It was almost time when Jiang Changtian arrived, dressed in the academy's student robes.

As soon as they arrived, they were surrounded and pulled to sit down at the banquet.

Guo Hongfang and Feng Hao arrived early and had already planned to sit with Jiang Changtian, but they were squeezed to the side and almost lost their shoes in the process.

At the same time, Lin Shuyun, dressed in men's clothing, sneaked to the back door of the Guo family.

People were going in and out through the back door, so it didn't seem easy to sneak in.

Lin Shuyun stroked her chin, moved to a different spot, and with a quick push of her feet, she scaled the wall and went inside in a few leaps.
