THE FARMER’S ELDEST DAUGHTER HAS A SPATIAL POCKET

Chapter 1072: Take Down the Champion

Editor: Henyee Translations

Putting aside the fact that there were thousands of people participating in the Prefecture Examination, just the Tianhai Academy alone was already filled with talents.

As expected, an unfamiliar name was quickly mentioned downstairs.

Everyone felt a little regretful, but they still had a smile on their faces as they comforted Gu Dajiang. “It’s fine, it’s fine. This prefectural examination is so difficult. We saw people taking the exam that day. They were all in their seventies or eighties. It’s obvious that it wasn’t easy to pass. We can’t be too greedy.”

Gu Dajiang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You don’t have to do this. I’m already mentally prepared. As far as I know, there are dozens of people participating in the prefectural examination from Tianhai Academy this time. All of them are people who are well-read. I’m an old man who has only been in the academy for less than a year. I’m already satisfied to be able to pass.”

How many years had it been since he had put down his books? The championship was not a carrot or cabbage. It was not that easy to get it.

Just as he was thinking about it, two people ran up from downstairs, panting.

Tong Shuitao was the first to enter. She turned around and realized that Xue Rong was still behind her. She immediately turned back and dragged him over. “I told you that your body is too weak. I told you not to go down, but you refused to listen. I could’ve come in and out myself, but I have to bring you along. It’s troublesome.”

Xue Rong was speechless. Yes, you’re strong, so you’re right.

He couldn’t say a word. Even his arm hurt from being pulled too hard by her. He didn’t have the strength to refute.

Tong Shuitao strode through the door with a happy smile on her face.

“Congratulations, Old Master. You won second place in the class ranking exam.”

Second place??

Everyone was stunned. Gu Dajiang was also shocked. He suspected that he had heard wrongly. “What did you say just now? Is it second or twentieth?”

“Second!!” Xue Rong finally caught his breath and replied firmly, “And Young Master Yi, eighth place in the Prefectural Examination.”

Yi Junkun was not with them. He went back after the exam. It was his family’s turn to be vaccinated in the county.

Gu Dajiang laughed. “Alright, alright.”

Gu Yunshu slammed the table. “So close. Father was so close to taking down the champion.”

Gu Yundong was speechless. She did not teach him this, did she?

But no matter what, after passing the prefectural examination, Gu Dajiang was now a proper Preparation Scholar.

Although he was a little old, this was the first time Gu Dajiang had participated in the imperial examination. Furthermore, he was ranked at the top. His ranking was very gratifying.

“Father, we’re happy today. Let’s go to Jinxiu Restaurant later and have a good meal to celebrate, okay?”

“Alright, let’s go to Jinxiu Restaurant.”

The children were the happiest when they went to celebrate.

Yunke had already started to order. “Sister, I want to eat peach blossom meat, flower carving chicken, melon strips, squirrel fish, and tender tofu and balls.”

Gu Yundong pinched her pink cheeks. “You’re quite good at memorizing the names of dishes.”

“I’m good.” The little girl patted her small chest proudly.

Yunshu and Yuanzhi followed suit and ordered food. Although Big Sister’s dishes were also very delicious, it was also an enjoyment to occasionally go to a restaurant to eat their signature dishes.

They had not eaten at Jinxiu Restaurant in the prefecture capital.

Therefore, before they left the teahouse, the Gu family had already ordered all the dishes.

When they went downstairs, the group of people looked at the bustling street and quickly walked towards the main road. The carriage was parked in a spacious place.

They got into the carriage and quickly rushed to their destination.

However, when they arrived at Jinxiu Restaurant, just as everyone sat down in the private room, the shop assistant suddenly came up and said, “Miss Gu, Tong Ping is here. Should we invite him up?”
