After traveling through time, she still led the villagers to make money as a county magistrate

"Yu..." Li Jing pulled the reins and the horse stopped.

A little head popped out of the car, "Where is it?"

"There are candles in the house ahead. They must be still awake. I'll go ask." Li Jing said as he jumped off the carriage and walked towards the direction of the lights.

Gu Niannian and Sun Yun also got out of the car. After sitting all the way, they needed to stretch their legs.

"Ah, little Yunduo, I didn't expect that you are so thoughtful at such a young age."

Sun Yun said proudly, "That's right."

"No, why do you call me Little Cloud?" Sun Yun asked after she came to her senses.

"Miss Sun, calling you Miss Sun sounds so unfamiliar. Little Cloud sounds so much nicer, right?" Xie Feixing raised the corner of his mouth to smile.

Sun Yun felt something was wrong, but also felt it was normal. She nodded and said, "That's true."

Gu Niannian watched the show silently from the side. Now looking at the two of them was like looking at a wolf and a little white rabbit.

It seems that the little white rabbit will have difficulty escaping from the wolf.

Gu Niannian sighed softly.

"The family agreed to let us stay overnight, but they only have two guest rooms..." Li Jing ran back and said.

Gu Niannian, "Let's go! Let's go and take a look together."

There were six people present, including the groom, so it looked like quite a big commotion.

Seeing that it was a woman who opened the door, Gu Niannian stepped forward and said, "Auntie, how are you? We are here to stay the night. Could you please make it convenient for us?"

The peasant woman looked up and down at the people in front of her. "Just now, this young man said, but I only have two empty rooms here, and you have so many people..."

The peasant woman looked a little embarrassed.

"It's okay. We've been traveling so long, we just want to rest a bit..."

Gu Niannian took out two taels of silver from her purse and said, "I need to borrow the kitchen to cook a hot meal. Is that possible?"

The peasant woman saw the white silver and had no objection. She invited the man inside and said, "Why not? Please use it as you like."

"Auntie is the only one at home?" Gu Niannian asked tentatively.

"No, my husband is a deep sleeper and can't be woken up by a small noise." The peasant woman replied.

"Oh, then please help us clean up the room." Gu Niannian put the silver money in the peasant woman's hand.

The peasant woman's mouth was grinning almost to her ears. "Of course, of course, don't worry, young lady. I promise to clean it thoroughly."

As he was about to head towards the guest room, Gu Niannian stopped him in time, "Wait, take us to the kitchen first."

The peasant woman stepped back and said, "Look at my brain. My dear people, please come this way."

The farmer's house is not big, and the kitchen is just a few steps away.

"The kitchen is here. You can use as much firewood as you like, but don't make too much noise. My son studies hard at night, hoping that he can pass the imperial examination and bring honor to the family." The peasant woman pointed to a candlelit room nearby, her eyes gleaming with hope.

"The imperial examination is a big deal. We'll just make two simple dishes. It won't take too long."

The woman returned to her house satisfied with what she heard.

Originally, Gu Niannian suspected that there was something wrong with this farmer's family. After all, ordinary families would not light lights at night at this time. It was not that they could not afford it, but they were reluctant to use it because it was too expensive. Generally, they worked from sunrise to sunset.

Now after hearing her say this, Gu Niannian felt relieved. Since she could spend this money to support her son's education, she must have some vision.

It was so late, and considering digestion issues, she only cooked some rice porridge. Gu Niannian took out bamboo tubes and poured the food inside into small plates. There was dried pumpkin, dried fish, and peanuts, all made by Li's mother and can be stored for a long time. It was also delicious when eaten with porridge.

After taking a mouthful of hot porridge, Gu Niannian sighed softly, "It tastes good!"

It turns out that when you are hungry, porridge can taste as delicious as seafood.

She picked up a piece of dried pumpkin with her chopsticks, took a light bite, closed her eyes and chewed slowly, thinking to herself that Mother Li really understood her. Dried pumpkin usually has ginger in it, but Mother Li knew that she didn't like food with a ginger taste, so she actually removed this seasoning.

The one who truly understands me is Li’s mother.

Li Jing saw her intoxicated look and asked, "How is it? How does it taste?"

Gu Niannian opened her eyes and saw everyone looking at her, "Everyone, eat! Why are you looking at me?"

"It's because you're eating so happily." Sun Yun muttered softly and started to eat.

Gu Niannian then leaned close to Li Jing's ear and said, "Auntie is so considerate of me. She knows I don't like ginger, so she actually removed this seasoning."

There was a sense of joy in his tone, a feeling of being favored.

Li Jing imitated her and leaned close to Gu Niannian's ear, "I was the one who called mother."

Hearing this, Gu Niannian was so excited that she hugged his face and kissed him.

Just this action caused Sun Yun to almost bury her head in the bowl. She had never seen such a scene before.

Xie Feixing looked at them with a look of delight, his mouth open into an O shape, thinking to himself, "What a brave girl!"

Li Jing's cheeks were flushed, like boiling water, about to steam.

The person involved, Gu Niannian, tried hard to pretend that nothing had happened and picked up the porridge to drink, but in fact, she did so to hide her red face.

Everyone finished their meal in this extremely subtle atmosphere.

There were two rooms not far from the kitchen. After dinner, we wanted to take a shower before going to bed in the hot summer.

But in this unfamiliar place, men don’t care, but girls still don’t dare to take a bath in this strange place.

Gu Niannian and Sun Yun simply wiped their bodies.

"There's nothing you can do about it. Just wait until we get to the inn and take a good shower," Gu Niannian consoled Sun Yun.

Li Jing and Xie Feixing lived in the same room. Seeing that the groom was old, Li Jing invited them to live together. After all, they were just looking for a place to take a nap for a few hours, and there was no need to follow the master-servant rules outside.

The groom didn't dare to sleep in the same room with his master. He waved his hand and said, "No need. We can sleep at the door. It's not cold."

The slave mentality was deeply rooted. No matter how Li Jing and Xie Feixing tried to persuade them, they still insisted on sleeping outside. Li Jing had no choice but to take out two long clothes and said, "Even though it's summer, there's still a bit of cool breeze at night. These are for you."

Uncle Guan was about to refuse, but Li Jing gave him a look and said, "Take it and have a good sleep. If you catch a cold, how will you travel tomorrow?"

Uncle Guan then accepted it timidly, "Thank you, sir."

Xie Feixing gave Li Jing a thumbs-up and said, "Master Li is really tough on the outside but soft on the inside."

Li Jing ignored him and lay down on the only wooden bed in the room.

Only then did Xie Feixing react, "You sleep here, where should I sleep?"

Li Jing turned over, facing the wall and continued to sleep.

"You are such a dull guy. You are hard-mouthed but soft-hearted to others, but you are also hard-hearted to me. This young master doesn't care." After saying that, Xie Feixing also squeezed onto the small wooden bed.

The wooden bed creaked as if in protest.

Xie Feixing squeezed in again and found a comfortable position. He was indeed tired after a whole day's journey, and soon he could hear the sound of even breathing.

"Are you all asleep?"

"Yes, they are all asleep." replied the peasant woman.
