A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

Xia Tian quickly asked Cui Ling and Ning Xiang to help Xiao You and Xiao Zhou up first.

Xiao Zhou was still in a daze and didn't react for a while.

After Xiao You's excitement subsided, he asked a little nervously, "Madam, but we are all lowly now, so we shouldn't be able to go to school."

I was so excited just now that I forgot that they probably can't go to school with their current status.

"Xiaozhou is not a prostitute. Only you were registered at that time, not Xiaozhou." Xiaozhou and Uncle He's youngest son were too young at the time, and Aunt Xu did not confiscate the money from the two children's prostitution, so Xia Tian was not registered either.

"Really? Madam, Xiaozhou can really go to school?" Xiao You was so excited when she heard Xia Tian say that.

"Yeah, really." Xia Tian nodded.

Xiao Zhou also reacted at this moment, his eyes sparkling, he knelt down and kowtowed to Xia Tian again, "Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am."

"Thank you, madam. From now on, Xiao You is willing to serve you like a slave." Xiao You kowtowed while crying.

If her parents knew that her brother could go to school again, they would definitely be very happy!

"Okay, okay, get up quickly." Xia Tian said helplessly.

Uncle He and Aunt He who were standing nearby were filled with envy.

Xia Tian then asked them, "Where is He Kang?" She was so caught up in Xiao You's excitement that she didn't even bother to mention the child.

Aunt He quickly replied, "Madam, He Kang is practicing boxing with Yun An and Yun Quan!"

He Kang is the youngest son of Uncle He and Aunt He. He is only ten years old this year and is the late-born son of Uncle He and Aunt He.

"Ask He Kang if he wants to go to school?" She was so caught up in Xiao You's excitement that she didn't even bother to mention the child.

"If you're willing, go study with Xiao Zhou. I had Mu Feng remove his lowly status last time, so we're all good citizens and have the qualifications to study."

She had specifically researched this. Except for those of lowly status who could not study and take the imperial examinations, everyone else could, even those of merchant status.

When she said this, Uncle He and Aunt He were stunned for a moment, then they reacted and knelt down and kowtowed.

Xia Tian held her forehead with her hand. This was really the result of the knock on her head. She couldn't even sit still.

"Hurry up, both of you. I'll need your help from now on. The two children are too young to do any work, so they might as well go to school.

"But you must study hard while you're studying. When you pass the imperial examination and become an official, you must support me, your wife!" Xia Tian said jokingly.

"Thank you, ma'am. My family will never forget your great kindness." Uncle He wiped his eyes.

Aunt He knelt down on the ground and sobbed.

For so many years, they have been of low status. They never expected that the lady would allow their youngest son to become a good person and send him to school. This was something that the family never dared to dream of.

"Okay, Uncle He, comfort Aunt He, and go ask He Kang. I'll arrange for someone to send them to school in the next few days." Xia Tian saw that Aunt He couldn't stop crying for a while, so he could only let the two of them go out to find someone first.

After a while, He Kang came in and said that he was willing to go to study. He thanked Xia Tian before leaving.

Things here were almost arranged. After Xia Tian had lunch here, he left with Ningxiang and Cuiling.

She did not go back to the mansion directly, but went for a walk on the street first and bought some things she needed.

By the way, find out about the price of food.

Probably having an idea of what was going on, he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, so as not to go back too late and make the old lady unhappy.

In the evening, Xia Tian went to find Shen Nian.

"Brother Shen, do you have any reliable place to store food?"

"Store food?" Shen Nian was slightly surprised. "How much should we store?"

"A few hundred thousand jins."

Shen Nian was shocked. What was going on? Why store so much food?

“Why do we need to store so much food?”

"Come closer." Xia Tian moved closer to Shen Nian. Seeing Shen Nian also move closer, he whispered, "I heard that there is a severe drought in the south. I estimate that the grain production will decrease this year.

And today I checked the grain prices, and they're about 30% higher than at the beginning of the year, and the price of coarse grains has doubled."

Shen Nian raised his eyes slightly, feeling surprised. He, who went out every day, hadn't noticed these things. He didn't expect that a girl who stayed in the backyard every day in the summer would be so sensitive. It really made him very curious.

Xia Tian saw that Shen Nian was just staring at her without saying anything, and thought that she was waiting for her to explain, so she told Shen Nian what Master Liu said today and also told her about her arrangements.

"Is the news reliable?" Shen Nian came back to his senses and was even more shocked. With just such a casual sentence, she actually made so many arrangements.

He, a man who went out on duty every day, had never heard of this incident, nor did he hear anyone in the court talking about it.

Xia Tian saw that Shen Nian was lost in thought and nudged his hand with his arm. "What are you thinking about, Brother Shen? I think this news is almost certain, so I want to buy more food now and store it. When prices rise sharply, we can secretly help the people."

Shen Nian nodded. At this moment, he was filled with admiration. He didn't expect that she bought grain for the people.

This is a great thing to do to accumulate virtue and do good deeds.

Shen Nian thought for a moment and said, "There is a place to store it. There is a large underground warehouse in the courtyard where Aunt Zhang lives. It is very hidden.

There are also two other courtyards outside the city, both of which can be used for storage. Shen Nian thought for a moment, "This matter must be kept secret, no one can know. Once you buy the grain, I will arrange for someone to store it."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Shen." Xia Tian thanked him with a smile.

She then remembered that she still had to find a school for Xiaozhou and He Kang, so she asked Shen Nian about it. Shen Nian told her not to worry about it, and he would find someone to arrange it.

The next day, Xia Tian asked Mu Feng to take the silver notes for buying grain to Uncle He and Aunt He, and explained the arrangements here.

Two days later, Mu Feng brought back news that Xiao Zhou and He Kang had already gone to school.

Uncle He has also negotiated with the grain merchants, and Shen Nian has already arranged for someone to go there.

Xia Tian didn't care about what happened next for the time being. She believed that Shen Nian would definitely do it well.

After that, she never went out again and stayed in the study to paint.

A few days passed in a flash, and soon it was the Empress Dowager's birthday. Everyone got up early in the morning to dress up and prepare to go to the palace to pay tribute.

Today is the Queen Mother's birthday. Marquis Wu'an lifted the house arrest on Liu and Shen Lan, and the old lady led them into the palace together.

Shen Lan had been under house arrest for the past few days. As soon as she came out and saw Xia Tian, she glared at her, as if she wanted to eat her.

Shen Nian frowned when he saw it.

Xia Tian ignored her and got on the carriage when everyone arrived.

When she went to the palace today, she brought Ningxiang with her. Among all the maids, Ningxiang was the most stable.

When they arrived at the palace gate and got off the car, they heard a mocking voice coming from the front, "How dare you go out?"

Xia Tian looked up and saw that it was Princess Yunying.

oh! No!

Now she is the County Master of Yunying!

Shen Nian, who was standing next to Xia Tian, suddenly felt cold when he heard what County Master Yunying said.
