Everything went smoothly. After the exam results came out, Guo Jingtian didn't do anything special. He continued to stay at home with his wife and take care of the children.

This time, it took a long time to wait for the imperial edict because the emperor was seriously ill and his condition was sometimes better and sometimes worse, so we had to wait.

Finally, the day arrived for posting the imperial edict. Guo Jingtian did not let Chen Wanqing go because there were too many people and he was afraid that she would be squeezed.

Guo Jingtian squeezed for a long time before he saw it, and his name was actually the first one.

After seeing clearly, he hurried back. He had to go back and prepare first, as an official would come to report the good news soon.

Sure enough, just as he came back and got ready, the officials showed up.

Guo Jingtian quickly gave red envelopes and wedding candies to the yamen runners, and even scattered some wedding candies to the neighbors on both sides.

When it was time for the palace examination, Guo Jingtian saw the man they rescued on the road again.

But I didn’t expect that he was the Crown Prince sitting in the first seat!

Guo Jingtian was shocked when he saw him, but he lowered his head and dared not speak.

After some investigation, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally selected Guo Jingtian as the new top scholar and immediately issued an edict to appoint him as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

All the officials were a little surprised by the prince's action!

I didn't expect that this top scholar would be given such a high official position for the first time.

The rank of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is a third-rank official. It seems that the prince admires him very much.

Guo Jingtian thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to repay him for saving his life, but he did not dare to refute.

Only the prince knew that he was not doing this to repay his gratitude, but was surprised that they had enough food along the way.

He even sent people to investigate them, although they found nothing.

But Guo Jingtian is indeed not an ordinary farmer, but no matter what, he needs this kind of person now.

Coming from a grassroots background, with abilities and skills, he can use them. Of course, he has not forgotten the kindness of saving his life.

Just two days after Guo Jingtian took office, the old emperor passed away and the prince succeeded to the throne.

After the old emperor's funeral, Guo Jingtian brought seeds of sweet potatoes and potatoes and asked for a private meeting with the new emperor.

"Is what you said true?"

When the emperor heard what he said about the output, he stood up in shock. No wonder they had no shortage of food!

With such a high yield, the entire Dajing Dynasty will never lack food in the future.

This is a matter that will benefit future generations. How could he not be excited?

“I dare not do anything to deceive the emperor, and my father and his people are still growing these foods on the mountain.

We have been surviving on these foods for the past year.”

Guo Jingtian missed his father a little. They had never been separated for so long.

"Okay, I will immediately arrange for someone to go with you to bring back all these seeds."

The emperor believed what he said, which is why he let him stay in the Ministry of Revenue.

The emperor had all these foods cooked and eaten, and he immediately fell in love with corn and sweet potatoes.

He quickly sent a few of his most trusted men, along with 3 soldiers and horses, to go back with Guo Jingtian.

This time, Chen Wanqing and her three children stayed in Beijing. Guo Jingtian didn't want her and her three children to travel back and forth.

The new emperor also issued an imperial decree to bring Xiao Taozi into the palace and directly named her Concubine Guo.

Xiao Taozi had been taking care of him for such a long time since he was injured, so the two of them fell in love with each other.

Two years later, high-yield foods such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn ensured that all the people of the Dajing Dynasty had enough to eat.

The court's tax revenue filled the national treasury, and the new emperor killed all his opponents within two years and secured his throne.

Guo Jingtian was also appointed as the Minister of Revenue, and now the emperor was trusting Guo Jingtian more and more.

Seeing that her children had grown up, Chen Wanqing started her own business and opened the largest restaurant in Beijing.

The food here is not available in Dajingchao, and the business is booming.

Later, slowly, she opened stores all over the Dajing Dynasty.

Moreover, she also opened a escort agency called Tianxia Escort Agency, which really has branches all over the world.

Not only the Dajing Dynasty, but several other nearby countries also have their own Tianxia Escort Agency.

Ten years later, the emperor wanted to give Guo Jingtian a title, but Guo Jingtian refused.

He became an official just to protect his wife and children. Now he is a first-rank official, which is enough to protect his wife and children.

There was no need to ask for a higher official position, as that would arouse the emperor's suspicion over time. He dared not forget the saying "To serve the emperor is like serving a tiger".

So no matter how much time has passed, he will always keep a good distance from imperial power.

Even if he did not accept the title, with the emperor's trust, other princes or officials would not dare to provoke him easily. In fact, this is already very good.

Guo Jingtian resigned from his official position when he just turned 60. He wanted to spend his last moments with his wife.

Among his three sons, the eldest son continued to work in officialdom and took his place.

After all, the position of Minister of Revenue is too important, and the emperor would not feel at ease if he gave it to someone he did not trust.

The more tactful Guo Jingtian was, the more the emperor trusted him and the more willing he was to use him.

The second brother took over Chen Wanqing's escort agency, and the third brother took over the restaurant. There was no conflict among the three brothers.

Later, Xiao Taozi's son inherited the throne. Because Xiao Taozi had the help of Chen Wanqing, no one in the harem dared to shake his power.

The old emperor always remembered their life-saving grace, so in the end her son naturally became the new emperor.

Because of Xiao Taozi's relationship, the new emperor was very nice to everyone in the Guo family and even conferred the title of a first-rank lady on Chen Wanqing.

Privately, the emperor treated their family as relatives.

Because Xiao Taozi made him forever grateful to the Guo family, and she would not be able to survive without the Guo family.

When Guo Jingtian was in his 70s, their three sons had countless grandchildren, and later there were even more great-grandchildren.

Guo Jingtian looked at his descendants who were kneeling in front of his bed and held Chen Wanqing's hand.

"Thank you, my wife! If I hadn't had you in my life, I would probably still be single."

What he said was true. Not to mention that he had a bad reputation at the time, he was not interested in other women.

On the day Chen Wanqing fell into the water, Guo Jingtian was attracted to her, otherwise, he would not have hugged her at that time.

"Are you content with your life?"

Chen Wanqing sat beside his bed. Actually, she felt a little reluctant, but this was the law of nature and she couldn't change it.

"I'm not satisfied, because I still want to be with you. This life is not enough, I want you in the next life and the next life. Can we be together forever?"

Guo Jingtian said this with a smile on his face, and then there was no response.

Chen Wanqing felt his breath and pulse, and she handed in the task directly, letting this body go with him.

Now their son is already in his 50s, so there is no need to worry about them at all.
