Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 319: Marrying the Mountain God 41 (End)

Time passed quickly, and as soon as the results of the autumn examination were announced in August, the gong and drum band announcing the good news rushed to the courtyard rented by the Gu family.

Lian Yunshen actually won the first place in the autumn examination and became the first champion in Huaihua County since the founding of the dynasty!

When the news reached the village, Lian Yunshen and Gu Li were almost back. The Third Uncle was very happy, and with a wave of his hand, he set up a three-day buffet in the village, and anyone who came to Taohua Village to congratulate could stay and have a meal.

Everyone praised the Taohua Village chief for his magnanimity.

Taohua Village is not short of money. Although this makes several nearby villages jealous, no one dares to provoke it.

The reason is that Taohua Village not only repaired the road in the village, but also repaired the road from Taohua Village to the town, which greatly facilitated several nearby villages.

After the village school was built, not only the children of the village could study for free, but also the children from nearby villages were accepted, and the tuition was half the price of the enlightenment school in the town.

Not only that, the third uncle also selected a number of boys with good aptitude in the village and sent them to the martial arts school in the town to learn martial arts, and those with good skills were sent directly to the escort agency.

With such a high level of military strength, Taohua Village has become a well-known target that should not be provoked.

Now, Taohua Village has produced another juren, who is said to be the top scholar in the imperial examination. He is truly the envy of the village heads of other villages.

Several village heads gathered together and whispered, wondering how Lian Jieyuan had studied and why he was so talented.

The Third Uncle stroked his beautiful beard and acted profound for a long time, "I guess his imprisonment has eliminated his bad luck in this life!"

Other village heads: -----

It’s not sour anymore.

Even the top scholar is a pitiful person.

You know, once a scholar is involved in a lawsuit or murder, his reputation will be completely ruined.

But Lian Yunshen is an exception.

It was not enough for him to study hard, his third uncle also contributed to it.

Before the village school was completed, my third uncle did not go to find a teacher himself, but was introduced by Lian Yunshen to meet the dean of the town's academy.

The dean introduced three students who were knowledgeable but had no luck in exams to be teachers in Taohua Village.

I helped the dean solve the problem of students who wanted to take the entrance exam after graduation but failed and had no money to continue their studies.

Yunli Academy accepts all children from the countryside, as long as they are willing to come. Those who are talented in studying can be recommended to the academy in the town after being tested by the teacher. Yunli Academy will also sponsor their first three years of tuition!

Taohua Village is not short of money!

Such a good thing that benefits the people, not only the dean was very happy, but even the county magistrate was happy to meet the third uncle, and only praised him for taking the lead in educating people. Lian Yunshen also gained a good reputation in the town and the county.

The imprisonment that was originally a stain turned into sympathy and admiration for Lian Yunshen. It was all because of those murderous villains who almost ruined Lian Juren's bright future.

Such a good reputation was really useful and it continued until the next spring examination, and even into the palace examination.

Lian Yunshen, who ranked first in the second class, surpassed the three people in the first class and was directly selected by the emperor to enter the Ministry of Justice for training.

It was only because Lian Chuanlu had experience in interrogation by the Ministry of Justice which they did not have.

The top three candidates in the imperial examination had to go through the hard work of entering the Hanlin Academy to gain experience.

Of course, these are all for later.

After holding a thank-you banquet in Taohua Village, Lian Yunshen was about to set off for the capital.

The Spring Examination will be held in March next year, so they have to rent a courtyard in Beijing first and adapt to the climate and life in Beijing in advance.

This time, Gu Li insisted on taking Lian's mother with her.

Her business acumen will have greater room for development in the capital, and she will be busy. Someone is needed to take charge of the family, and that person can only be Lian's mother.

Before leaving, the third uncle gave Lian Yunshen two silver notes worth one hundred taels and a ginseng of good age.

The third uncle said, "It doesn't make sense that students from our school who go to town get subsidies, but you, the top scholar in our village, don't. Take it, this is what your family deserves, go to the capital and see if you can buy a house. As for the ginseng, it is a good thing that cannot be bought with money. I specially left it for you. Those noble families in the capital are very fond of these things. You can do whatever you want!"

Gu Li sighed and thought that for a person like Third Uncle, his talent would be buried if he stayed in the village.

Lian Yunshen entered the carriage and put the box of ginseng into Gu Li's hands. Gu Li said goodbye to the villagers who came to see her off one by one, and her uncle whipped the horse whip.

"Go! Let's go!"

My uncle no longer drives a cart for wealthy families. He opened his own cart rental shop and bought several horses and donkeys. The carriage he used to pick up and drop off the Lian family was also changed from the original donkey cart to a horse-drawn carriage.

"Uncle, you are going to the capital with us this time, why don't you stay too and drive your carriage to the capital!" Gu Li lifted the thick felt door curtain and stuffed a hand warmer for her uncle who was driving the carriage.

The eldest uncle happily wrapped the hand warmer given by his niece-in-law into his cloak, "Hahaha, the eldest uncle is old and doesn't want to leave his hometown. Your second uncle may go to the capital to join you!"

His niece-in-law is really nice. His nephew has not enjoyed the benefits yet, but after living in the town for a year, she has made a fortune and has not forgotten to help her brothers-in-law.

They all have conscience!

They were all very happy.

"That's a good relationship. It's lively when the family is together."

The green carriage rumbled forward, raising a cloud of dust that then slowly fell down.

Deep in the Lingyun Mountain, left far behind by the warm and lively carriage, someone was holding a pregnant belly as big as a basket, gazing at the village at the foot of the mountain where more and more houses were being built, and constantly thinking of ways to escape from here.

She waited and waited, waiting for the village to be covered with snow again and again, waiting for the unknown little flowers in the mountains to bloom and then fade, and then bloom again.

Gu Jixia lost her vitality in this repetitive cycle, and even her basic language function degenerated.

Time passes little in the mountains. When she heard news about Gu Li again, she had already laid snake eggs for the big black dragon twice.

A pair of brothers who went hunting in the mountains said with envy and admiration: "The village chief said that this Spring Festival, Shangshu will bring his family back to worship their ancestors. Oh, that's Shangshu, an official higher than our county magistrate."

"Yes, he was admitted from our Taohua Village. What a pity, we worked hard for two years in Yunli Academy, but he is not good at studying at all!"

"I heard that the Shangshu Lord even asked for an imperial decree for his wife. Tsk, tsk, tsk, even the county magistrate had to bow to her when he saw her."

"You keep calling him 'county magistrate'. I guess he is the most powerful official you have ever seen!"

"Well, I haven't even met the county magistrate, but I will be able to meet the minister soon. By the way, it seems that the minister's wife is from Qingxi Village here."

"Yes, she seems to be the cousin of the ancestor of the Guigu family in Qingxi Village. I don't know her name!"

"You forgot, the Yunli School in our village was named after the Shangshu and his wife. The Shangshu's name is Lian Yunshen, and his wife's maiden name is Gu, and her given name is Li, so she should be called Gu Li."

"Hey, you are brave enough to call the first-rank lady by her maiden name------"

Gu Li?

Why did this name sound familiar? However, she couldn't remember where she had heard it. Who was this person?

Before Gu Jixia could figure it out, a powerful, pitch-black, scaly tail swung out from the depths of the cave, wrapped around her waist and dragged her inside.

Gu Jixia let go of the small flower she had pinched in her hand and numbly let it drag her into the darkness.
