Wen Zhimiao is no longer busy, so Shi Wanyue is naturally not that busy either.

Wen Zhimiao had previously said that he wanted to turn the island into a complete market to facilitate transactions for the surrounding people, but of course it would have to be subject to supervision.

She also banned all the brothels in Nanshao City. The pleasure boats were still retained, but they were only allowed to conduct legitimate business and were not allowed to provide sex trade.

Compared with other major changes in the southern counties, this matter seems less important.

When Wen Zhimiao had nothing to do, he would go to see the progress of Zheng Shu or Qi Linglang, and occasionally he would go to see the soldiers' training under the pretext of hunting.

It is almost winter now, and there is nothing good to plant this year, and there is not much in the farmland.

However, it is still necessary to deal with the fields and store fertilizer under the guidance of professionals.

Wen Zhimiao sometimes goes to take a look around the farmland when he has nothing to do.

Although she didn't understand much, the people didn't know her very well, so it was nice to chat with her and listen to what they said.

Wen Zhimiao also wrote a letter to Wen Jiuzhao, saying that she wanted to open Lulin Academy in the south. Wen Jiuzhao wrote back to her saying yes and assigned someone to be in charge of the matter.

The people in the south were relatively satisfied with their lives after the flood. There were no large-scale epidemics, and the imperial court provided enough food relief and even sent soldiers to help them rebuild their homes. This was truly something that had never happened before.

Although the people did not know Wen Zhimiao, many of them knew that the person in charge of disaster relief this time was the legendary little prince.

As a result, Wen Zhimiao's reputation among the people is still quite high. There were even people in small places who wanted to build a statue of her, but were finally stopped by local officials.

Wen Zhimiao was a little amused and helpless after learning about this.

Wen Rongxue smiled and said, "Your treatment now is almost the same as mine."

"That's still not as good as my aunt's." She was very clear about Wen Rongxue's status in the hearts of the southern people. Compared with Wen Rongxue, she really couldn't compare.

After all, Wen Rongxue's contribution to the south is more than just disaster relief.

Wen Zhimiao has nothing to do now, so she goes to listen to music and watch operas every day, and then comes back to pollute Wen Rongxue's eyes and ears. She wants to show off even though she has learned half a lot, and even asks Shi Wanyue to accompany her.

Or you can go for an outing and visit the local customs and practices in the surrounding areas.

It just so happened that the Duan family was having a festival to worship the gods, so Duan Jiling invited Wen Zhimiao and Shi Wanyue to go together, and also invited Qi Linglang, Zheng Shu and others.

Wen Zhimiao also went.

After entering the city, Wen Zhimiao found that the city was very different from the first time she went there.

With the assistance of the Duan family, the city did not feel like it had experienced war, and the people continued to live a happy life. There were even more people coming and going, and the city became more prosperous.

Duan Jiling came personally to pick up Wen Zhimiao and Shi Wanyue.

He Yuanyao and Bian Ruitong have arrived.

Wen Zhimiao was busy these days, and these two were not idle either. After all, everyone else was busy, so how could they be idle? Naturally, they were thrown into the military camp together by Wen Zhimiao. Bian Ruitong officially got a position, but He Yuanyao did not.

She just followed Yinghe around and did errands and odd jobs.

However, the South has been in chaos for many years, with various forces everywhere. It is naturally not an easy task for Wen Zhimiao to eradicate all those messy forces. Many things are indeed difficult to accomplish without the use of force.

There used to be many small countries in the south, but they were all destroyed by Wen Rongxue. However, the descendants or beliefs of those small countries still exist.

There are also those who are stubborn and refuse to leave their former village. Even though the village has suffered a flood and rebuilding it is more difficult than building a new one, they still refuse to leave.

There are really a lot of messy things like this.

As well as some large and small resistance forces that are determined to make the South an independent country, they all need to be suppressed and deterred, and then appeased with other policies.

So these days, Bian Ruitong and He Yuanyao followed Cong Yinghe's army and ran around everywhere. Since Wen Ke's death, the group has never gathered together.

This time, it is thanks to Duan Jiling's invitation that they are able to get together again.

After all, Wen Zhimiao, Shi Wanyue and He Yuanyao will return to the capital, and Bian Ruitong will have to stay in the south for the time being.

Duan Jiling's body couldn't withstand the long journey, and it was unknown whether he could recover.

Lu Jiaoyue also examined her, but after reading it she just shook her head and said that she could not be cured. However, she did help her find a suitable supervisor of the Imperial Medical Bureau, the old elder.

Her medical skills are indeed on par with Lu Jiaoyue's, and she is not opposed to Central Plains medicine. She is also quite happy with this position.

Even Duan Jiling did not expect that the old elder would agree. The old elder's original name was Duan Shanhan. The side branches of the Duan family were not qualified to enter the Elders' Council, but with her extraordinary medical skills and the assistance of Duan Yunting, she was able to enter the Duan family's Elders' Council and has since gradually increased her voice.

But later, Duan Yunting left the Duan family and went to Yunjing and never returned.

The Festival of Worshiping the Gods is considered a relatively important festival here, and the people in the city seem to be filled with joy.

He Yuanyao followed Wen Zhimiao and said, "There are really many differences between the south and the north."

She had not been to the market much before, and just like everyone else when they first arrived here, everything she saw was new to her.

Wen Zhimiao and Shi Wanyue have learned a lot more about local customs and folkways these days than before, and can also give He Yuanyao some answers.

Duan Jiling saw that Wen Zhimiao was still happy, and naturally wanted to hold Wen Zhimiao's hand.

Wen Zhimiao instinctively dodged, after all, his girlfriend was beside him!

When Wen Zhimiao looked at Shi Wanyue nervously, Duan Jiling roughly understood that she was indeed too abrupt.

But she didn't have any other intentions, and now she only had friendship for Wen Zhimiao.

But seeing Wen Zhimiao's nervous look, she couldn't help teasing Wen Zhimiao and turned to playing with Shi Wanyue's arm.

"Sister Wanyue hasn't had a good walk around the city yet, I'll take you around."

"Okay." Shi Wanyue looked at Duan Jiling with a smile and did not refuse.

Wen Zhimiao:......

She finally understood why Shi Wanyue was always jealous.

However, Duan Jiling only teased Wen Zhimiao at the beginning, and then let go of Shi Wanyue unconsciously. Seeing this, Wen Zhimiao immediately went over and held Shi Wanyue's hand, holding it tightly and even interlocking their fingers.

Duan Jiling saw her actions and couldn't help but laugh at her.

"A few days ago, I asked Miaomiao if she had someone she liked. Miaomiao said no at that time. Do you have one now?" Duan Jiling asked Wen Zhimiao with a smile.

Wen Zhimiao coughed lightly and nodded awkwardly: "Yeah~"

Everyone looked at her and Shi Wanyue mockingly.

Qi Linglang held Zheng Shu's hand, and Zheng Shu whispered in Qi Linglang's ear: "I said there must be something wrong with them."

Bian Ruitong and He Yuanyao were standing next to them, with the same look of surprise on their faces.
