I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl - Chapter 371: The 9th Year of Traveling

As for not being able to buy a suitable farm, Bai Jingzhou felt that there was no need to rush about it. Anyway, he would have to go to Beijing to take the exam, and Gu Wenxuan would definitely follow him. Maybe she would be able to find a suitable farm by then.

Peng Xuan'an had just gotten married, and his relationship with his new wife was at its best, so not only was Bai Jingzhou anxious to go home, he was also anxious. The two had already agreed before Mu Jingzhi's wedding that as soon as Mu Jingzhi got married, they would pack up and return home as soon as possible.

Bai Jingzhou's visit to the emperor took a day, and the next day the two of them, along with the other people they brought with them, said goodbye to Mu Hanzhi and Mu Jingzhi, and left the capital to go home.

Although newlywed Mu Jingzhi was reluctant to let his two good friends leave so soon, he and his wife had just gotten married and he really couldn't spare much time for his two good friends, so he could only reluctantly tell them, "You must come to Beijing to take the imperial examination next time."

The convoy carrying a large amount of earthenware left quickly. After a long journey of walking in the morning and sleeping at night, Bai Jingzhou and Peng Xuan'an returned safely to the capital of Xingzhou.

The two parted ways here. Peng Xuan went home, while Bai Jingzhou, together with Bai Jingshan, Gu Wenhai, Li Fan and others who took the opportunity to go to the capital to broaden their horizons, returned to Baijia Village with a large number of local rituals.

During the time they were away, there were always disaster victims moving around in Qingshan County. Fortunately, due to strict government control, these disaster victims did not cause any chaos in Qingshan County.

When the victims saw Bai Jingzhou and his convoy, their eyes and expressions subconsciously revealed envy or greed, but none of them dared to step forward to snatch the goods.

Since entering Xingzhou, Bai Jingzhou has been either riding a horse or sitting on the shaft of a cart to observe. He found that the victims were indeed well accommodated and there were no signs of unrest, so he felt relieved.

The group headed for the village before dark. Bai Jingshan and Li Fan got off the car at the door of their respective residences, while Gu Wenhai and Bai Jingzhou went back to the end of Baijia Village together.

The Bai family and the Gu family had already received the news, and now they all came out to greet them. Everyone was chatting with each other, welcoming the two people who had been away from home for a long time back to their own homes.

Xiaoxiao no longer remembered Bai Jingzhou, but fortunately this child was not shy. Bai Jingzhou came over to tease her. She blinked her big eyes at Bai Jingzhou for a while, then smiled sweetly at him again.

The familiar tastes and dishes made him feel that today's meal was especially delicious, and the family sitting around him made him feel particularly at ease.

There is no such rule as "no talking while eating, no talking while sleeping" in their family. While everyone is eating together, they still talk to each other occasionally.

After the joyful dinner, Bai Jingzhou began to tell everyone about his experiences in the capital in a concise manner. At the same time, he did not forget to distribute the various local rituals he brought back to everyone while everyone was present.

He also bought an almost identical gift package for the Gu family. Now that it was getting late, he planned to deliver it to the Gu family members together with Gu Wenxuan tomorrow.

It was already the second day of the twelfth lunar month. Bai Jingzhou had no plan to return to the academy before the New Year, but he never slacked off in his studies. He still spent most of his time every day studying hard.

After the New Year, it will be the ninth year since Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou traveled through time.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Bai Jingzhou returned to the academy with Gu Wenhai, Gu Wenche, Bai Jingshan and others. Gu Wenxuan stayed in the village, taking care of the children and supervising the farmers in preparing for the upcoming spring plowing.

The disaster victims who were allocated by the imperial court to be resettled in Xingzhou last year were basically sent back to their hometowns after the weather became slightly warmer in February.

As people continued to return, the fields and shops that Bai Jingzhou bought in the two disaster-stricken states were rented out one after another by the brokers who accepted the commission. He kept the house in his hands and left it vacant for the time being in case of emergency.

For the next six months, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou lived their lives as usual. The only changes in their lives were that Bai Jingheng passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, while Gu Wenche, Su Yunzhan, Peng Xuan'an, Tao Chang, Bai Lizheng's eldest grandson Bai Yaoheng and Bai Yue, the youngest son of the Bai clan's elder, passed the imperial examinations and became juren.

Among them, Gu Wenche and Su Yunzhan were both ranked in the top ten, Tao Chang and Bai Yaoheng were in the middle, and Peng Xuan and Bai Yue were just at the bottom of the list, one was third from the bottom and the other was fifth from the bottom, and they were the ones who barely made the list.

The other two young scholars in the village who were already married unfortunately failed the exam this time. After being depressed, they returned to the village to continue teaching.

In addition to the leaders Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou, and their less than two-year-old daughter Xiaoxiao, the team also includes Su Yunzhan, Bai Jingshan, Gu Wenhai, Li Fan, Bai Yaoheng, who, like Bai Jingzhou, plan to give it a try next year, as well as Fang Youfu and his brothers who act as guards, and their respective servants, maids, and old women.

In addition, Tao Chang and Jiang Yuheng will meet them in Xingzhou City, and then everyone will go to Beijing together.

Bai Jingxin was not among the entourage as her baby was only half a year old and was not old enough to be taken on a long journey.

For this purpose, Su Yunzhan specially sent Bai Jingxin to Baijia Village and asked Bai Chong and Ning Cuizhi to take care of her for a period of time.

Jia Yuelan was not among the entourage. She would work with Gu Yongming and his wife, and Bai Chong and his wife, to help Gu Wenxuan manage the properties under her and Bai Jingzhou's names.
