I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

"emmm...

Absolutely sure! Xiangxiang wants to go to town and eat the wontons that her master used to eat.

"..."

Seeing Song An Ning standing there in a daze, Xiang Xiang burst out laughing.

"Oh, Master, don't think too much.

Xiangxiang is happiest when she is with her owner.

Before, every time the owner went to town to eat wontons, Xiangxiang felt that the wontons were particularly delicious, so she wanted to try them.

And the seafood pancakes from Linhai Town...

hey-hey……"

Song An Ning smiled and nodded, picked out a goose yellow gown embroidered with osmanthus flowers for Xiangxiang, said goodbye to his family, and went out.

"Come on, I'll take you to Ping'an Town."

"Okay... We can help my aunt with some work, eat at some street vendors, and go to the market..."

The two sisters walked slowly on the road hand in hand.

The sky suddenly turned into an autumn appearance, particularly deep and high.

This time, Song Anning did not use teleportation. Every time he went to a place, he would introduce it to Xiangxiang.

Although Xiangxiang had seen the surrounding scenery many times, it was a new feeling to put herself in their shoes and experience it.

In the next half month, Song Anning and Xiangxiang went to Ping'an Town, Linhai Town, Tongchuan Prefecture, Huaichuan Prefecture...

With nothing to do, the two of them wandered around the village bored and received warm hospitality from the villagers.

While waiting for the results of the autumn examination, Song Xing also had some free time. Except for occasionally going to the town to meet with his classmates, he spent the rest of his time in Old Man Pan's yard, teaching the children to read and write.

Song Juaner also opened a milk tea shop.

Ping'an Town is not as good as Linhai Town. Prices are lower and purchasing power is not as strong.

But generally speaking, it's not bad. I have no time to spare during the day. If you calculate carefully, after deducting the costs, I can save twenty or thirty taels of silver every day.

A few days before the shop opened, Song Anning and Xiangxiang went to the shop to help a lot. After a day, they were so tired that they went into the space and fell into a deep sleep.

The two of them played with cats and dogs in the village, went to the town to eat and drink, and went to the mountains to play with Dahui. Xiangxiang also imitated Song Anning and dug wild vegetables with a small shovel.

It is the beginning of September in the lunar calendar and the autumn harvest is about to begin. Today, my uncle’s autumn examination results will also be announced.

The Song family got up early and went to town. Xiangxiang also followed Song An Ning, waiting for the people from the yamen to announce the results.

Although it was just an exam for the scholar, with Song Xing's ability, there would definitely be no problem.

But the whole family was still very nervous. There were also many students waiting under the list, with their hands folded, praying silently.

Xiangxiang was also very nervous. She held Song Anning's hand and waited eagerly with her eyes wide open.

A quarter of an hour later, the official came out with red paper and a smile on his face.

As the red paper was pasted, Song An Ning saw at a glance that his uncle's name appeared at the top.

"First place! My uncle is number one!"

These days, because Ayuan and Ayue know how to read, the family members have also learned a lot.

Everyone saw Song Xing's name, which landed safely at the top.

Zhang was so excited that she cried. Song Dashan and Song Erhe patted Song Xing's shoulders. There were compliments all around, rewards from the court, and a personal meeting with the county magistrate.

For a time, the Song family was famous in the town! After further inquiries, it turned out that the chili peppers and preserved eggs also came from the Song family in Banyue Village. There was also Song Anning, who was from Yaowang Valley and had developed an antidote to the plague, which was valued by the current emperor.

Now another top scorer has emerged. It seems that it will be easy for him to pass the imperial examination and become a juren.

After hearing this, the wealthy family who had wanted to get to know Song Xing suddenly didn't dare to approach.

They are not short of money, nor are they short of power...

The group of officials who were looking for a son-in-law under the list didn't dare to step forward, especially when they saw Song An Ning and Xiang Xiang protecting their uncle behind them with such fierce looks, so they decided to give up...

"Aning, uncle did it!"

"Yes! I knew my uncle could do it!"

I forgot how I got back to the village, but I only remember that the villagers said that Song Xing was the first person to win the first place in the case in Banyue Village and was the glory of the entire Banyue Village.

It was the villagers who went to the town to do business who heard the news and returned to the village to tell everyone.

So, all the people in Banyue Village beat drums and gongs, slaughtered chickens and sheep, and hitched ox carts to come to the town to pick up the Song family and bring them back to the village.

"Uncle Song, your family doesn't have to buy anything today! We'll do it!

This is a great event for the whole village!"

On the first day, the villagers prepared it, and on the second day, the Song family prepared it.

The entire Banyue Village celebrated for two days, and on the third day, everyone returned to normal.

Song Xing packed up his things and went to the provincial capital to study.

After the extreme joy, the Song family began to pack Song Xing's luggage and welcomed his departure.

Before leaving, Zhang brought Song Xing a lot of silver, while Song Anning prepared some handy writing brushes, inkstones, clothes, bedding, and knee pads for his uncle...

As long as their uncle could use it, Song Anning and Xiangxiang made a list, pretended to go to the town, and actually spent a long time selecting from the system mall, filled a whole car, and brought it back.

Song Xing held his forehead and smiled bitterly. This little girl was afraid that he would suffer in the provincial capital, so she bought so many things at once. When would he be able to use them all?

Not only that, the villagers also prepared a lot of things, including boiled eggs, dry food suitable for storage, cotton towels, and long boots...

After preparing for a whole morning, Song Feng drove the carriage, and Song Dashan and his wife took Song Xing, Song Anning and Xiangxiang to the provincial capital.

The three carriages galloped all the way and arrived at Tongchuan Prefecture in the evening. They found an inn to stay in and prepared to settle down in the academy the next day.

At night, Song Anning and Xiangxiang lay in bed, counting the days.

Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, Xiangxiang has been here for more than half a month.

The weather is gradually getting cooler, especially in the morning and evening, the temperature difference is very large.

"Sister, when we get back from the city, Ayuan and Asheng also have to go to school."

"And Yuan Yuan."

"Yuan Yuan? Isn't he a slave? Can he go to school?"

"That's easy. When I pass by Ping'an Town on my way back, I'll go to the government office to handle it and make Aunt Yuanying and Uncle Ming happy.

Also, I saw Sister Yingchun following my aunt and opening a milk tea shop, and she liked it very much.

My aunt also told me about this, let’s wait and see.”

"Hehe, sister, you've thought it through very carefully.

Isn't it time for the autumn harvest in a few days? Xiangxiang also wants to go to the fields to help harvest the land and pick the corn."

“Haha, that’s very tiring.

Especially when the corn leaves scratch my skin, and then I sweat, it hurts and itches, and at the end of the day, I'm exhausted."

Xiangxiang didn't listen at all, and there was some anticipation in her eyes.

"I want to see everyone's joy at the harvest. Only by doing it yourself can you feel it."

"Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want!

But don’t cry when you’re tired.”

"Don't worry! I definitely won't!"

Three days later, Ayuan, Wang Sheng, Xiao Yuanyuan, and several other children from the village went to the town school together.

The little girl was not willing to be outdone, and she studied even harder with Mr. Pan, even practicing martial arts with a bit of reluctance.

Why? Boys can go to school in town, but they can’t!

But it doesn’t matter. Sister Aning is also a girl. Didn’t she still receive the emperor’s reward and become the pride of the whole village?

Therefore, all the girls in the village worked hard and studied very hard.

When Xiao Ming and Qin Yuanying learned that their youngest son had been freed from slavery and could go to school, they were so moved that they insisted on kneeling down to express their gratitude, and the Song family couldn't stop them.

The days passed one by one. After a rain, the weather became cooler. There were not many peppers left in the village, but the pepper fields in Huaichuan Prefecture were growing well.

It was a sunny day and the sky was a deep blue.

Song Dashan got up early, looked at the sky, walked around the fields, and then announced:

"From today on, our family will take over the land!"
