FARM GIRL TURNS EVERYTHING AROUND: SLY HUSBAND, LET'S FARM

Chapter 668: Chapter 668: The Top of the County Town

Principal Gu appreciated Qiao Xiaomai’s gesture of delivering food once again, beaming with approving delight like an elderly fairy in New Year’s paintings.

After tasting the dried sweet potatoes, he couldn’t help but give Qiao Xiaomai a thumbs up. This girl was impressive; the food she brought was not only delicious but also suited his palate.

Now that Bailu Town had a Qiao Xiaomai, he was one lucky man!

On the day of the rural examination, he had already reviewed the papers and had them sent to the Capital City as a matter of urgency. Now, as he saw the look of curiosity on the faces of Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang, he laughed and said, “I placed Sanlang first. As for the rest, we must wait and see what His Majesty says.”

However, the chances were high. After all, even the old emperor had commended Tong Sanlang before.

Upon hearing this, Xiaomai and Sanlang were overjoyed. Xiaomai started rubbing her hands together in excitement, a habit she had picked up from Qiao Changshun. “Principal, t-thank you. Thank you so much!”

“You need not thank me. Sanlang did well on his paper; I simply made an honest judgement,” Principal Gu said, waving a humble hand. He then picked up another piece of dried sweet potato, merrily biting into it.

“His self-study efforts are commendable.”

Unbeknownst to Principal Gu, he had made the same assumption as Zhang Family and others that Sanlang had been self-studying all these years.

Qiao Xiaomai and Sanlang exchanged a glance, both of them smiling modestly.

Principal Gu continued, “Keep studying when you get home. The Imperial List will be out in a few days; you should start preparing for the provincial examination.”

Sanlang nodded in agreement.

The provincial exam would be held in Prefecture City one month after the rural exam results. The schedule was quite tight.
