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.
