The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

When Zhou Sisi heard her mother say that she wanted to exchange the deed with her, how could she agree? She immediately put the deed in her arms and said, "Thank you, mother. Hehua and Chen Nan are still waiting for me. I'll go out first." She ran away quickly, otherwise her mother would change her mind later.

However, Zhou Sisi did not lie. Before her mother came back, she did lead a few people to the study.

Xiao Hehua plans to publish her own picture book, and Zhou Sisi is teaching her how to conceive characters and what to pay attention to when drawing them. Of the four people who have decided to publish a tabloid, Dabao and Chen Nan's drawing and writing skills are stronger than Chen Bei and Erbao's, so they've decided to serve as editors, while Chen Bei and Erbao will handle external responsibilities. However, these plans are still being worked out.

Chen Nan and Dabao watched Sisi teach Hehua how to draw, so they joined in. Chen Bei and Erbao began thinking about a plan for launching a small newspaper, including where to set up the office, where to gather news, where to sell their products, and so on. When Sisi first told them about it, it seemed easy, but when it came time to actually implement it, they felt it was full of problems.

Seeing that they were like two headless flies, scattering their thoughts here and there without a clear focus, Zhou Sisi asked them to write down their ideas first, then summarize them into a plan. Finally, executing according to the plan would be much simpler. So, the two of them were scratching their heads and writing the plan.

Tietou Suotou, Xiao Xiangsheng and the twins were also in the study. Master Chen gave them homework.

Tietou and Suotou were going to the Ministry of Works to run errands for their second uncle. To put it bluntly, they were their second uncle's followers and non-staff members of the Ministry of Works, and their second uncle paid them a salary.

Master Chen said, "The capital is populated by many people and officials. Of the ten people you meet, nine are likely either officials themselves or have relatives who are officials." Therefore, learning how to treat people well is crucial. "You two should study the Analects again when you have time. I'll test you later."

Xiao Xiangsheng was tricked into coming here by the twins. Why? This is a long story.

Grandpa Chen doted on the twins. Since they were born, their grandma and grandmother had fought over them. Sometimes, however, the old ladies were busy, and Zhou Sisi had classes, so they just handed the children over to their grandpa. Children always wanted to play with other children, and Xiangsheng was the youngest at that time. So, Xiangsheng grew up under Master Chen's watchful eye.

These three had been separated for over a month and only just got together yesterday, so what could possibly go wrong? But this morning, when Grandpa Chen wasn't paying attention, the three kids knocked over his favorite jar of wine.

That was Grandpa Chen's treasured wine, which he had brought all the way here without even drinking it. In the end, it was kicked away by the three of them. Grandpa Chen was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at them, and punished them to copy books. Now, they are copying books while muttering to themselves.

Tietou and Suotou also looked worried and sighed at the Analects. Suotou couldn't help but complain, "Why is the Analects so difficult to understand? Do we really have to learn it all over again?" Tietou nodded helplessly.

Meanwhile, Xiao Xiangsheng winked at the twins and whispered, "Let's copy quickly. We can go to the farm to see the chicks this afternoon." Hearing that Grandma had caught a large cage of chicks, Xiao Xiangsheng wanted to go back and see them. The twins' eyes lit up when they heard this, and their hands moved faster.

Zhou Sisi came over to check the situation and couldn't help laughing when she saw their distressed or cunning looks.

"You two, be serious. Brothers, not everyone can enter the Ministry of Works. Grandpa asks you to learn more for your own good. Xiao Xiangsheng, Zhige'er and Hengge'er, you are not allowed to go out and play before you finish copying." Zhou Sisi acted like a little teacher, and the few of them had no choice but to obey. The study suddenly became quiet again, with only the rustling sound of writing and the occasional sound of flipping papers.

Elsewhere, after Zhou Sisi left, Chen Xiuying began planning. She planned to partition off a section of the second floor for a private room, and then furnish the remaining space, along with the first floor, with comfortable tables and chairs. She'd also build a raised platform by the windowsill and place a few high-legged round stools so people could sit by the windowsill. The private room would be furnished with a sofa and a long coffee table, creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere.

By the time she had finished listing all her ideas on paper, Zhou Dajiang and the other two had returned.

Chen Xiuying put away her plan and hurried out to inquire about the situation, "How is it? Can I get in?" She had heard Dajiang mention before that Jixianzhai was not easy to enter, and it was Lord Yuan who greeted him when he entered.

"It's been reported!" Chen Mingyuan couldn't stop smiling.

Master Chen saw that his silly son had only finished speaking half a sentence, so he pushed him away and continued, "It's really hard to get into the Jixianzhai. When we first entered, there were several students asking if they could register.

The manager in charge of reception had a pretty good attitude, but he turned people away without even a mile. He just told them respectfully that Jixianzhai couldn't accept any more teachers due to its limited space and limited teaching staff... When I heard that, I thought, "That's all!" I said, "Don't ask any more. I guess it's useless even if we ask!"

As luck would have it, An Ge'er happened to be passing by with a classmate and saw Dajiang first, so they struck up a conversation. We then learned that the reason Jixianzhai had limited places for outsiders was because this private school was originally designed for students from Jixian Academy. Initially, they didn't admit outsiders, but later, as its reputation grew, many children of officials began to apply, forcing them to open up some places.

Zhou Dajiang added, "I studied there for several months and didn't know about this. After An Ge'er finished telling us, he directly pulled Mingyuan over and told the manager, 'This is my uncle.' Without saying anything else, the manager immediately gave him a spot. Afterwards, I asked An Ge'er, 'Does the manager know you?' What do you think he said?"

"What did you say?" Chen Xiuying's curiosity was piqued. The children in the study heard the noise and came out.

Zhou Dajiang said with a smile, "Ange told me that he beat up the steward's child before, and then the academy called his mother over. When the steward saw that his mother was the wife of the then-general, he immediately changed his attitude and said it was his child's fault. After that, his child became Ane's little brother."

Chen Xiuying understood. This meant that they had recognized An Ge'er. An Ge'er said he was his uncle, so the steward must have mistaken him for a relative from the Duke's wife's family. The three of them were just using An Ge'er's influence to bully others!
