Chapter 1116: Number One Scholar
After hearing what Aunt Liu said, Su Xue was furious. Wasn't it obvious that she was an outsider?
There was not even a trace of taboo, which was too bullying. Even Aunt Xu beside her couldn't listen and looked at Aunt Liu with dissatisfaction.
"Madam Liu, look at what you're saying. Our young lady is the prince's concubine, how can she be considered an outsider?"
This old woman obviously dislikes her own young lady and doesn't even bother to avoid saying it.
Upon hearing what Aunt Xu said, Aunt Liu frowned in dissatisfaction.
"Madam Xu, please be careful with your words. Our prince doesn't even have a concubine besides the princess."
After saying that, he turned and left. Why didn't he come to tell the prince when he was in trouble? Now that he has seen the prince turn things around, he doesn't even care about his face.
A girl came here from far away and acted so arrogantly, really thinking of herself as the master.
"You..." Su Xue gritted her teeth in anger.
This damn old woman, if I become the prince's woman in the future, I will definitely get rid of her first.
Qin Chuchu didn't know what was happening here, so she led Han Xing and everyone to the man's study.
Now that this little guy is sticking around, she can’t sit on the same chair with the man, so she sits aside.
Seeing that everyone was present, the man looked at Feng Yi.
"Now that the weather has warmed up, we can start work on the defensive wall."
"Yes." Feng nodded and looked up at the man again.
"Your Highness, at this rate, it will probably take more than three years to complete the project. Should we send in more manpower?"
Although the current progress is not slow, it cannot be guaranteed that it will be completed in three years.
Now, except for the base, other places no longer need manpower, and some of them can be transferred to the city wall.
Even if the project cannot be completed ahead of schedule, it will not be delayed.
After some discussion, everyone decided to transfer another 200,000 people over, after all, there was a surplus of manpower now.
After the matter on the city wall was finalized, they talked about the matter on the base.
After another discussion, it was decided that except for the 100,000 pits used to grow rice, the rest would be used to produce sticky corn seeds as originally planned.
Although sticky corn was not a high-yield variety in the past, it is a rare high-yield variety here.
The land here is barren, and only about 100 to 200 kilograms of grain can be produced per mu. Compared with sticky corn, which produces more than 1,000 kilograms per mu, the yield is much higher.
So everyone unanimously agreed that in addition to reserving a portion to grow vegetables to supply restaurants in various places, most of the pits would be used to make sticky corn seeds.
If possible, I hope that people other than those in the Far North and Qingzhou Prefecture can grow this kind of grain.
Even if the yield per mu does not reach more than 1,000 kilograms, even if it is 400 to 500 kilograms, it will allow the people to make a living and avoid starvation.
In addition, there is a piece of vacant land next to the Beihe River. We are still digging holes in the ground, and we will decide what to plant later.
Speaking of this, the man seemed to remember something and turned to look at Xu Zhe.
"How do you use the things you made?"
Although I had heard Chuchu mention this before, I had never asked about it in detail.
Now that the weather has turned warmer, I don’t know how to use the things he made.
Seeing that the prince asked about him, Xu Zhe hurriedly looked at Qin Chuchu.
"Boss, let's..."
But he stopped talking as soon as he opened his mouth. Everyone followed his gaze and saw the confused princess and Han Xingshi sitting on the chairs, and they couldn't help laughing.
They were busy discussing important matters and didn't notice that the princess had fallen asleep while sitting.
“………………” The corners of the man’s lips curled slightly.
Looking at Chuchu and Han Xing with amusement, some people would believe that they were mother and son.
The sleeping positions are the same, both of them keep swaying in the same direction, and even the frequency is exactly the same.
Hearing the laughter, Qin Chuchu frowned.
"Huh?" He opened his eyes dazedly.
Looking around, I realized that in the man's study, they were all smiling at me.
He quickly sucked his saliva and looked at Han Xing in his arms. He was asleep just like him.
"Princess, why don't you go back to sleep?"
April also tried to suppress the smile on her face as she looked at the second princess.
I was listening so attentively just now that I didn't even notice that the Second Princess and Young Master Xing had fallen asleep and were drooling so much.
The little guy also frowned because of the laughter, and looked around, it was obvious that he was sleepy.
"Oh, okay." Qin Chuchu nodded.
I was indeed very sleepy. The main thing was that they were talking about some topics that were not interesting to talk about, and it was the middle of the day, so it would be strange if I wasn't sleepy.
I'm not interested anyway, so I might as well go back to sleep. As soon as I lifted my butt while holding Han Xing, Butler Liu came in hurriedly from outside.
"Princess, great joy!"
"Hmm?" Qin Chuchu frowned.
She looked at Butler Liu in confusion, not knowing what made him so happy. And he started talking to her as soon as he entered the room, as if it had something to do with her.
"Princess, Master Xiaoshan not only passed the imperial examination, but was also personally selected as the top scholar by the Emperor in front of the palace!"
Butler Liu spoke excitedly as he handed over the letter in his hand.
Although the child was not related to him by blood, he was still very happy to hear it.
After all, everyone saw with their own eyes how hard the child worked when he lived here.
Now he has finally reaped the rewards of his hard work. I am really happy for him, and he is the princess's sworn brother, which makes me even happier.
"Really?" Qin Chuchu's eyes lit up, and she was no longer sleepy at all.
He was so excited that he almost dropped the little one in his hand. He quickly took the letter. The more he looked at it, the bigger his grin became. He was so happy.
"My brother makes me so proud!"
This is even happier than getting the top score in the imperial examination. It is a great thing.
Han Xing, who was originally confused, saw his master's wife so excited. Although he didn't know why she was happy, he also grinned.
“………………”Han Muchen didn’t say anything.
He just took the letter from Qin Chuchu's hand and read it carefully. He was a little surprised that Xiaoshan was really chosen as the top scholar by his father.
After all, it’s not time for the palace examination yet. According to previous calculations, we still have to wait for some time.
What he didn't know was that Xiaoshan won the first place in the examination again, which immediately attracted the emperor's attention.
I heard that the child only studied for more than a year, but he took part in the three-level joint examination and ranked first in every exam.
Now, he has won the first place in the imperial examination. If it is true, he is definitely a genius.
Only then did he call Xiaoshan to the front of the palace. After a rigorous examination, he was found to be unable to pass the test, which made the emperor very happy.
Not only was he personally appointed as the top scholar, he was also directly conferred the title of sixth-rank official and became an editor in the Hanlin Academy.
For a time, the whole capital city was told that a genius had emerged in Dayu Kingdom, and everyone on the streets was talking about this matter.
Master Sun has been in a very good mood these past two days. There is nothing he can be proud of more than having taught such a good student.
Prime Minister Qin was equally happy and had been in a very good mood these days.
Whenever they have time, they run to Xiaoshan's yard, drink tea, play chess and discuss current affairs. There are always endless topics to talk about.
