After being reborn as a man, the woman improved her family's fortunes through education.

Chapter 608 Reserved Seats, Spring Outing Team Returns

In this respect, he is on the same wavelength as Jiang Xiaoqi.

Jiang Xiaoqi was planning to have the Jiang family members gradually take over some of the affairs under the Second Prince after the provincial and palace examinations.

After all, Lord Qiu Cheng is now using himself as three mules.

Wangchuan and Aniu have arrived at Tongzhou Wharf, but the only help Wangchuan can provide is to do accounting, pay wages, and act as a cashier.

All Ah Niu could do was help maintain order and do his physical labor.

Compared to the roles previously played by Master Qian and Master Xing at the docks, this role was somewhat limited, as both of them were seasoned veterans in various affairs.

Many times when Lord Qiu was too busy, either of these two could step in; they were quick-witted and unconventional, and solved many thorny problems.

Wangchuan is cautious and meticulous, making him well-suited for managing accounts, while Aniu is rough and unrestrained, yet his appearance is quite intimidating.

Currently, both of them are in the most suitable positions and doing the most suitable work.

However, Lord Qiu's needs do not stop there. To be freed from the heavy workload, he needs more capable people to assist him.

Jiang Xiaoqi set a goal for Jiang Hao to be ranked first, although he never expressed this to the person involved.

If the other four Jiang family members can enter the palace examination, whether they are ranked second or third, one or two of them can be assigned to Lord Qiu's side for training.

Having participated in the Second Prince's shipbuilding project, one could be considered a member of the Second Prince's crew.

However, will Qiu Feng and the other six scholars also have the same idea of ​​having a second bowl?

It seems I'll have to reserve a seat in front of the Second Prince for the next lecture.

Cough cough, this doesn't count as cheating. He didn't stop Qiu Cheng from reserving a seat.

Although Lord Qiu is indeed extremely busy and hasn't had a chance to make a reservation, that's fine~

As usual, Jiang Xiaoqi placed an order for a batch of cat food for the Cat Detective Team, only to realize that something seemed to be missing from her life.

Furry System!

Is this guy still leveling up? It seems to be taking him even longer than someone who's been pregnant for ten months.

It's been months already, and they still haven't come out of quarantine?

The consciousness probed into the external space of the safety buckle, which had previously been allocated to the system as a temporary fortress for upgrades.

Wow, the fur ball system has grown dozens of times larger. It used to be a tabby cat, but after this upgrade, is it going to turn into a Siberian tiger?

It seems okay, I can accept it, it's just a bit scary to take it out.

I wonder if his cat minions will be scared when the time comes, haha.

Just as I was thinking this, the fluorescent light surrounding the system suddenly faded.

Before the fluorescence faded, an invisible barrier seemed to shatter, scattering across the ground.

Jiang Xiaoqi's consciousness was ejected; this was the first time he had been actively thrown out by the external space.

What's going on? Is the hairball system in danger?

Jiang Xiaoqi probed her consciousness in again, but this time she failed.

After several unsuccessful attempts, I finally had to give up.

"System, please don't get into trouble. After all these years, I'll feel uneasy without my best buddy by my side."

Jiang Xiaoqi didn't know if the system could hear her, but after saying those words to the safety buckle, she carefully placed it into her internal space. Although it was much smaller, it felt safer there.

The following day, under a bright sun, the large group that had gone to Tongzhou Wharf for a spring outing returned home.

"Do we really have to take these fish back with us? We don't have any cats at home, and we can't eat so many fish."

"Go ahead and bring it, otherwise your father-in-law will be unhappy."

"Will you take it back to eat?"

"Well, we can give some to the servants at home, or send some to Mingfei. Doesn't he have a cat? Cough cough, anyway, it won't be wasted."

"Alright, then take it back to Mingfei."

Although Jiang Xiyue said this, she was also silently complaining in her heart: her brother's little raccoon is so small, and this fish looks even bigger. Who is going to eat whom?

Jiang Wenqing instructed people to load fish onto the oxcart. The fish were still alive and were placed in several large wooden barrels, each half-filled with water. It was only a few dozen miles away, so the fish wouldn't die.

Aunt Pan also loaded a lot of local specialties she had recently purchased in Tongzhou onto the car. Although they were all from the capital, Tongzhou had some things that were not available in the capital.

For example, the tofu from that tofu shop at the dock is perfect for stewing with fish heads to make a nourishing soup.

Both of her daughters came this time. Lan'er had already given birth to one child, while Lian'er was not pregnant yet.

Both daughters need to nourish their bodies properly. She doesn't have anything particularly special to offer, but this tofu isn't expensive. She'll pack two portions for her daughters to share when they get back.

"Lan'er, although you already have a son, a woman needs more than just one child to gain a foothold in her husband's family."

"Once you've recovered, you can have another child. The Xue family can afford to raise one; and it's good for a woman to have many children."

Aunt Pan hadn't seen her daughter for a long time, so she took advantage of this free time to pass on her thoughts to the child.

Of course, Jiang Lan'er's first child was a son, which greatly relieved her. If her daughter were as disappointing as she was, she would have to worry a lot more.

Jiang Lan'er was not in a hurry to have another child, and her in-laws never urged her to.

My mother-in-law and sister-in-law are both easy to get along with. My sister-in-law got engaged a few days ago, and now the family is busy preparing her dowry and related matters, so they won't be focusing on her pregnancy.

My mother is worrying too much. Doesn't she know what kind of man she married?

Mothers only know how to use children to solidify their position as matriarchs, but the most important things between husband and wife are not these things, but shared interests and common topics. These are the most important things for a couple to get along.

As Mingfei once said, the desire to share between husband and wife is the secret to maintaining a stable marital relationship.

She always felt that her brother's words made sense, especially after marriage, when she realized that his intelligence was evident in every aspect of their relationship.

After finishing his shift each day, although he couldn't tell his husband what happened in the palace, he would tell him about any new shops that had opened on his way back, and suggest they go shopping together another day.

She would tell her husband everything that happened at home, from big things like which colleague's family member came to visit to small things like what new dishes she had come up with in the kitchen.

In short, it's about sharing the little things that happen when you're alone with the other person. I didn't realize it at first, but now that I think about it, it really is exactly what Mingfei said.

No one can interfere in their marriage.

"Understood, Auntie, I'll handle it."

"Yes, we can't be perfunctory; we have to take it to heart."

After instructing Jiang Lan'er, Aunt Pan then gave detailed instructions to Jiang Lian'er, who was not yet pregnant.

“Lian’er, you should eat more good food to nourish yourself. You’ve been married for quite a while now, so why is there still no sign of a baby? It must be because your body is still weak that the baby doesn’t want to come.”

Jiang Lian'er looked embarrassed; she wasn't as calm as her sister.

How can you casually bring up the topic of concubines in the street?

"Oh, Auntie, I know. Didn't you bring a lot of food? I'll eat when I get back. It's getting late, and Father has already packed the fish. My sisters and I should set off now."

"Fine, so you all just think your aunt is nagging. How many times a year does she nag you? You little ungrateful brats!"
