I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 309: Passed the Palace Examination

The next day, the men in the village went to the Bai family to congratulate them again. The Bai family was as generous as the Gu family. No matter what the villagers gave them or whether they brought their children to the banquet, they all welcomed them with a smile and arranged good meals, wine and tea for them.

As for those weirdos who had to bring bad luck to other people's families on their wedding day, and who thought that they would hinder their own wedding and had to tolerate them with a pinch of the nose, both families were not polite and all of them covered their mouths, controlled their hands and feet, and "asked" them to leave.

If they are still restless after being kicked out, there will naturally be people who will take more radical measures to teach them how to speak and behave in the future.

Of course, most of the elders in their families did not agree with what Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou did. They were more inclined to learn from others and choose to swallow their anger for the sake of the overall situation. However, the two were determined. They could listen to their elders in other matters, but they had to stick to their own opinions on this point no matter what.

Grandpa Gu and others who were used to the two people making the final decision on many matters finally compromised. The few guys in the village who always tried to make trouble at other people's weddings failed to make trouble for the first time and ended up suffering a setback.

The villagers who had been disgusted by them in the past witnessed with their own eyes how they were "invited" out of the wedding banquet so neatly, and they all couldn't help but applaud.

As for the few who tried to smooth things over, they were scolded by some elderly people, including Bai Lizheng and his wife, as "foolish people who talk without any pain unless the knife cuts themselves."

The wedding went smoothly. After the marriage, her grandparents, parents-in-law, husband, brother-in-law and sister-in-law were all as kind and respectful to her as ever. The most important thing was that her parents' home was right next door to the Bai family, and she could see her relatives several times a day. This made Gu Wenxuan almost don't need to spend time adapting, and she got used to the new life after marriage smoothly and silky.

Bai Jingzhou had long wanted to marry Gu Wenxuan. When the Bai family built a new house, he designed his own yard to suit Gu Wenxuan's aesthetics and habits as much as possible.

If it weren't for the subtle differences in the trees, flowers and plants in the yard and the placement of items in the house, Gu Wenxuan would have been unable to help but wonder if Bai Jingzhou had moved her yard at Gu's house directly to Bai's house.

Although Bai Jingzhou was reluctant to leave his new wife as he still had to continue his studies, he still returned to the academy on the fifth day of his marriage. After seeing him off, Gu Wenxuan began to train Jia Yuelan and Bai Jingxin.

Both girls were very smart, had been educated and were good at accounting, so Gu Wenxuan wanted to train them.

She assigned them many tasks, allowing them to accumulate experience and broaden their horizons. Then, when they were discouraged by having too many and too complicated things to do, she gave them earnest advice (ignore) and guidance (leisure).

"We girls still need to experience more. Only when we experience more, broaden our horizons, learn more skills, and grow up, will we not be easily deceived or bullied in the future."

Anyway, no matter whether what she said was right or wrong, her serious attitude looked quite intimidating. Jia Yuelan and Bai Jingxin couldn't argue with her, so they had to continue to work like slaves for her in the name of experience.

Time passed steadily as Gu Wenxuan lived a peaceful life and the two girls' daily lives were in turmoil. Soon, Bai Jingzhou and other students faced the provincial examination to be held in mid-April.

The examination venue for the provincial examination was the examination hall of the provincial government. Bai Jingzhou, Bai Jingshan and Gu Wenhai studied at Tianhe Academy in the provincial capital, so they avoided the trouble of traveling by boat. However, Bai Lizheng's eldest grandson Bai Yaoheng and Bai Yue, the youngest son of the Bai family elder, had to leave the town school in advance to go to the provincial capital to prepare for the exam.

In order to make it easier for other students, including himself, to get to the examination venue, Bai Jingzhou moved in with others in the house that was rewarded to him by the emperor.

Gu Wenxuan also took some time out to go to the provincial capital, where she served as the chief logistics officer.

She and a few servants took good care of five scholars who were preparing for the exam until the end of the exam and the announcement of the results at the provincial government.

These five people were very lucky this time. After the results were announced, they all saw their names on the list, which meant that they had all become freshly minted students.

At this point, they officially stepped onto the starting line of the long journey of the imperial examination.

When the news that all five people passed the examination and became students of Tongsheng spread back to the village, all the villagers were shocked. Wow, this time their Baijia Village will have a bright future.

Bai Jingshan's mother and grandmother were particularly happy. This was the first time their family felt relieved since Bai Jingzhou's father passed away.

Bai Jingshan is a promising person, and he will slowly repay all the kindness their family has received. The two women felt that the huge rock that had been weighing on their hearts finally showed signs of becoming lighter.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt that they had finally gained some pride, but they remained very low-key in their actions and only enjoyed themselves secretly at home.

But even so, there are still people who envy their good fortune and deliberately say sour words in front of them, "It's just that they married into the Jingzhou family, otherwise they would definitely not even have enough food to eat, let alone spend money to support their children's education."

Wu was slandered, but for the first time ever, she did not feel wronged or angry at all. She walked straight over and said to the gossiping woman with a smile on her face, "You are right. My Jingshan family can be what it is today thanks to the help of the Jingzhou family."

The woman felt embarrassed, guilty, and a little bit scared. She felt that Wu's reaction was really wrong. Wouldn't a normal person be angry or feel aggrieved when hearing her say that?

What she didn't know was that Wu was just grateful and was in a very good mood and didn't want to argue with her.

After saying this, Mrs. Wu happily took her youngest son to go shopping.

The pork stall was only available in the town, so Mrs. Wu took her youngest son to buy ten pounds of pork ribs, twenty pounds of pork belly, twenty pounds of lean pork, a pig head and a set of pig offal. She then bought a lot of soy products from Uncle Bai's family and a lot of eggs from her neighbors.

Her family has no shortage of fresh wild vegetables from the mountains and the small green vegetables that can be eaten now. She can also directly catch the chickens and ducks she raises at home and kill them for meat. By weighing them in this way, she can identify eight to ten vegetables.

She and Bai Jingzhou's grandmother planned to invite Bai Jingzhou's family and Gu Wenxuan's family to dinner to thank Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan for their long-term care for their family.

Just as the sour woman said, if it weren't for Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan, their family would not be able to provide a student, let alone feed the whole family.

Mrs. Wu and her mother-in-law carefully prepared a large table of delicious food, and Bai Jingzhou's family and Gu Wenxuan's family also came to visit them out of respect.
