“I just need to make a few trips to the forest and my coin pouch will be bulging.”,”

“Enough. I’m responsible for making money for our household, and you’re responsible for your looks…”

“I’m responsible for passing the Imperial Examination.” Tong Sanlang interrupted her.

He couldn’t handle the phrase ‘handsome as a flower’.

Qiao Xiaomai laughed, “Well, then you better study hard. There’s no urgency for the money at the moment. We can deal with it once you’ve passed the exam.”

If he passes the township examination, he’d become a student eligible to take the Imperial Examinations. The next step would be the prefecture level examinations in the Prefecture City. If he passes that, he’d become a candidate for the spring examination in the Capital City, also known as the so-called Spring Palace Examinations.

This series of examinations are quite a handful. While Tong Sanlang’s abilities have been praised by the Academy Director and the retired emperor, actual competence is always confirmed through examinations, so it’s best not to let such mundane matters distract him.”

“Actually, I enjoy the process of earning money. If you suddenly handed me a big pile of banknotes, I wouldn’t be motivated at all.”

When she lived in the future, she could pass the time watching television, watching movies, or playing on the computer. In that age of information explosion, there were always new things happening.

But what about here?

Even going to Linzhang Village to lash out at Zhan Jin is difficult to accomplish. It’s so isolated!

It was all right when Tong Sanlang could accompany her, but now that he’s engrossed in his studies every day, she’s left alone with nothing to do.

It’d be better to find something to do.

Right now, she prefers to focus on the process.

The following day, after breakfast, she took a spade and drove a cart down to the fields. She shoveled a cartful of soybean stalks, picked and cooked them, and then delivered them to Jìwèi Residence, just in time for mealtime.

This time, she didn’t sell it all to Jìwèi Residence. She kept about forty pounds and delivered it to Bailu Academy.

Lately, when she had nothing to do, she’d muse over Yang Ye’s revision of the “Daqi Law” and the situation in Linzhang Village.

The people of Linzhang Village consisted only of dullards. It wasn’t anything like the villages under the jurisdiction of Bailu Town. The Academy Director Gu single-handedly suppressed all the bad elements.

Even throughout the entirety of Huai’an County, the county magistrate’s duty was so easy that Yang Ye couldn’t find a challenging case even if he wanted to.

This was all thanks to Director Gu.

The people living in Bailu Town were unbelievably fortunate!

Moreover, in addition to Director Gu, Yang Ye had also left a guard, a man surnamed Yang, from his own household. She was instructed to bring some tasty food to him from time to time. Although the edamame was cheap, she felt that after she’d processed it, it was good to share some with this Xiaoyang guard.

Director Gu was pleased with her visit. He’d tried the edamame the previous night and found it to be very toothsome.

The Xiaoyang guard tasted it, immediately left, and quickly returned with a large block of ice. He carved a hole into the ice, placed the clean food container filled with edamame into it, then stuffed back the shards from the hole.

After this task was completed, he retrieved an exquisite, thickly padded brocade that was extremely well-sealed, used it to wrap up the large ice block, which worked similarly to how cotton wraps were used to prevent Popsicles from melting in the future.

Finally, he shoved the ice block into a large crate and loaded it onto the carriage. Xiaoyang then headed for the postal station.

There was a small postal station in Bailu Town, mainly responsible for communicating messages between the Imperial City and Bailu Town. He handed the crate to the postal worker to be dispatched at top speed. Yang Ye would receive it by tomorrow evening.

Qiao Xiaomai watched, gobsmacked, as Xiaoyang the guard went through this series of packing processes, clicking her tongue and couldn’t help but marvel. This was like ancient Shunfeng Express!

[The Imperial Examination system here is different from the historical one. I have modified it a bit, so my lovely readers, please don’t pick on this~]
