Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 2276: World Shock

Editor: Henyee Translations

Being a teacher was quite relaxing.

Unexpectedly, the world plunged into chaos. As a frail scholar, Zhang Wenshu was among the first to feel its effects. Compounding his troubles, a flood destroyed his home, forcing him to flee with his wife and children. Along the way, he encountered both kind-hearted and malicious individuals, enduring hardships.

Eventually, representatives from Huaixi found him. Impressed after a conversation, they arranged a carriage to transport him to Huaixi province.

When Shao Yunduan and Jia Heming met Zhang Wenshu, they were deeply impressed. He wholeheartedly aligned himself with Shao Yunduan, and his family settled in Huaixi province.

With Shao Yunduan’s conquest of a large area around Hangzhou City, there arose a need for capable administrators. Jia Heming and Zhang Wenshu were the ideal candidates.

Since Jia Heming couldn’t leave Huaixi province, Zhang Wenshu came alone.

Zhang Wenshu brought several scribes from Huaixi province and selected individuals from the Prefect of Hangzhou’s office and the general public. These three factions competed and balanced each other, bringing beneficial governance to the region.

After stabilizing the situation around Hangzhou, Shao Yunduan returned to Huaixi province.

Despite his acquisition of a large area around Hangzhou City, Huaixi province remained his true stronghold, where his presence was essential.

The entire province buzzed with excitement. Spirits were high, and admiration for Lord Shao was widespread. Praise for him echoed throughout the city.

"Lord Shao is truly remarkable!"

"As expected of Lord Shao! Hahahaha!"

"I always knew Lord Shao would prevail! Huaixi is bound to triumph!"

"This is incredible! Who would have thought Lord Shao would conquer Hangzhou City? Surely, he will dominate the world!"

"Yes, yes, absolutely!"

"Huaixi is Lord Shao’s birthplace. We will surely reap the rewards."

"Absolutely! Let’s look forward to a prosperous future under Lord Shao’s leadership. He won’t forget us."

"..."

During Shao Yunduan’s absence from Huaixi province, while he was in Hangzhou managing and pacifying the people, Qiao Xuan was also kept busy. Visitors came daily to pay their respects to her.

During such times, she had to treat everyone well and win their hearts.

Though admired and respected by all, both Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan remained level-headed and rational. While filled with joy over their initial success, they knew it was only the beginning of their journey.

Their ability to conquer a prominent city like Hangzhou demonstrated they were far more formidable than perceived globally. It also meant they had entered the world stage and were now subjects of fear.

In such moments, maintaining composure was crucial.

Being noticed by the world might not always be beneficial.

Over the past month, Qiao Xuan had received numerous gifts and heard many kind words. She felt proud and content, yet in the quiet of the night, she often found herself missing Shao Yunduan, keeping her emotions in check.
