This is the list of successful candidates, to be announced three days after the imperial examination.
Mu Xinghe knew he had done everything in his power; now he was just waiting for news.
In the past few days, Pang Da has finally kept quiet. Qiao Lian'er knows that he doesn't want to attract the emperor's attention again and will wait until he has been quiet for a while before making a move.
The marriage between Da Cheng and Pei Qingrong was also settled, and the wedding was originally scheduled to take place soon, but it was postponed for half a year because the Qiao family lost a child.
The Pei family was quite understanding and generous, not making a fuss about it.
Since falling in love with Da Cheng, Pei Qingrong has frequently traveled to her fiefdom to train soldiers with him. Her skin has become a little tanned, but she still has an upright posture and always looks full of energy. She's almost ready to become a female general.
She brought Qiao Xier some tonics and, holding her hand, said, "Once you've recovered, I'll ride a horse and take you to see the fiefdom. There are endless grasslands and hills there; just looking at them will broaden your mind and make you feel much more open-minded."
"Okay." Qiao Xi'er smiled at her.
She's already trying to move on, but the thought of it still makes her heart ache.
When the results of the imperial examination were announced, Mu Xinghe was unsurprisingly the top scholar.
Overnight, the entire capital city knew this name.
The imperial guard delivered the rewards, which were three times more than those of previous top scholars. Some said it was because Mu Xinghe was a genius who was only seen once every ten years, while others said it was because Mu Xinghe's handkerchief had once saved the emperor's life.
In any case, Mu Xinghe is highly valued by the Emperor.
Soon, Mu Xinghe entered the Hanlin Academy, where he studied for a period of time, took the exam, and was then assigned an official position.
Everything is back on track.
Qiao Lian'er also focused her attention on business, continuing to expand her business empire, building warehouses wherever they were suitable, replenishing stock wherever there was a shortage, and even taking her business overseas.
Having not been back to Datian Village for a long time, she activated the space program and arrived in the village in just a few minutes.
Yes, the tech team has now evolved the functionality to this level, it's almost like teleportation.
It was only then that they discovered that the Shen family had already opened two branches in the county town, and both businesses were thriving. The Shen family was about to prosper again.
Indeed, this is the reward of being single-minded and focused on one's own affairs.
Only with this attitude can a family rise to prominence.
On the other hand, the Song family's side was already a charred ruin, with the bones of the Song family buried in the rubble, and now, grass has begun to grow on it.
Villagers passing by would inevitably make a few remarks, but eventually they became numb to it and stopped caring at all.
Lingyin had recovered and was walking briskly, always busy with this and that. Seeing her full of energy and looking at her two adorable nephews, Qiao Lian'er thought of Qiao Xi'er and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
But life goes on, and we can only look forward.
"Is your sister Xi'er's pregnancy progressing smoothly?" Grandma Qiao asked routinely, then muttered, "She's almost five months along."
"Everything is fine," Qiao Lian'er replied naturally.
"Lian'er, I also want to go to the capital to see it." Lingyin said with a smile, holding Qiao Lian'er's hand.
"Sister-in-law, it may take a while. The capital city is checking people entering the city quite strictly now."
"Okay, I'll go shopping with you guys and buy a whole cabinet full of stuff." Lingyin was really looking forward to it.
The Akhal-Teke horses that the Pei family sent have already been transported to Datian Village via the spatial channel, and Dayong and the others have long since ridden them.
