The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 569 Sansi Street
Grandma Wang was a decisive person. Once she said she was leaving, she took Ayu and Qin Huai and left Puji Temple after finishing her vegetarian meal. Before leaving, Ayu not only took the cocoon-shaped frame, scriptures, and amulets from Puji Temple, but also, after eating the vegetarian buns and steamed bread served at Puji Temple that morning, the chef happily told her the cooking techniques.

Ayu wrote it down very carefully in her notebook, intending to copy it down and give it to her third uncle and aunt so that the steamed buns at home would definitely taste even better.

Qin Huai was still a little weak, but seeing that A Yu was still so observant and eager to put things into practice, he felt much happier.

"No wonder you have so many business ideas in your head, you've been thinking about these things all day long." Old Mrs. Wang teased Ayu deliberately, lightly tapping her forehead with her finger. "It seems I can't let you stay with your father, lest you corrupt him."

Ayu: "Grandma, why do you make such a bad impression on me? I'm not like that at all."

Qin Huai also explained, "Ayu is just worried about her family. Every time we pass through a new place, Ayu thinks about whether her family needs anything. If they do, she will buy it. She will also write down any good business ideas she comes across, just to leave her family with more options."

As Grandma Wang listened, she nodded inwardly. It wasn't because Ayu was so well-prepared, but because the child always cared about her family, which showed that she was still kind-hearted.

Only those who are purely kind and possess the necessary wisdom can go further on their journey.

“Ayu, Grandma knows you’re a smart child. If you were a boy, it wouldn’t be difficult for you to achieve something in this matter. Grandma also knows that you’ve never thought being a girl was a hindrance, but the world is what it is now, and it’s not something that one person or a group of people can change, or even that can be overturned overnight.” Grandma Wang kept a stern face, not letting Ayu see the heartache that flashed in her eyes, and continued, “In the future, don’t show off your intelligence too much. Knowing when to hide your talents is also a kind of wisdom, do you understand?”

Ayu nodded: "I know."

Grandma Wang looked at Qin Huai again. She originally wanted to give the child some advice, but then she felt that the children were too young. Even if she taught them the way of husband and wife now, it would be too early. She suggested waiting a few more years until the children were older and could understand and practice many principles. That would be the best time.

As they talked, they arrived at a main street in Wanning City.

Besides the imperial city, Wanning City has twenty-three main streets, more than two hundred smaller streets, and over a thousand alleyways. There are three moats, inner and outer, and along the central axis, there is an underground river that leads directly to the imperial city. The imperial city is upstream, and beyond the imperial city, it becomes the outer river.

Everyone calls this river the Heavenly River.

Now, they are about to embark on this celestial river boat and head towards Sansi Street outside the imperial city.

On the cruise ship, a scholar stood on the deck and told another friend the story of Sansi Street: "Legend has it that Sansi Street was originally called Wencai Street, a place specifically for the top scholars to parade through the streets and meet the emperor. Later, a top scholar, arrogant and overconfident, bullied an old farmer. It was only later discovered that the old farmer was a Grand Tutor to three emperors. As a result of this incident, the top scholar was stripped of his academic honors and was barred from participating in the imperial examinations for life. The emperor at the time personally wrote the words 'Think thrice before you act,' and Wencai Street was thus renamed Sansi Street."

Ayu listened with great interest, tugged at Qin Huai's sleeve, and whispered to him, "Brother Ayou, you should think it over carefully."

It would be a real shame if you became the top scholar in the imperial examination, only to have your academic achievements revoked because of your improper words and actions!
Qin Huai looked helpless: "You're overthinking it. I'm not that stupid."

“I knew it! Brother Ayou, you’ve become the top scholar in the exam. Let’s go back to Nanhe Town to celebrate. Uncle and Aunt sent a letter saying that the villagers really want to thank you!”

Before Qin Huai could answer, a sneer came from the side.

"Who do we have here? It's just two ignorant children. The title of top scholar is not something you bunch of naive kids can just joke about!"
