Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

Several people went to their respective rooms, packed up their things, and then went out to meet up.

"Brother Jing, you guys go downstairs and eat first." Yun Zhenzhen leaned against the door, feeling a little exhausted. "It's been such a bumpy ride, I feel sore all over. After you finish eating, just bring me a bowl of porridge. I'm not very hungry."

After saying that, she went back to the room and lay down on the bed. After sitting in the carriage all day, only when she lay down did she feel alive again.

Yun Jing and a few others walked downstairs, chose a quiet spot, and started ordering food.

They set out early in the morning and arrived almost a day later. At noon, they ate some dried meat they brought with them, and their stomachs were already empty.

The inn was also bustling with activity. Many students who came together were having meals downstairs. Those from wealthy families stayed in the superior rooms, while the poorer ones chose the inferior rooms, which had large bunk beds for several people to sleep in. So there was a mix of good and bad people here.

"Brother Yun, cousin, just order whatever you want to eat. I'll treat you all today." Wang Ye waved his hand, his whole body full of the aura of a wealthy man.

"No need. We're not without money for food. Just save your own money." Wang Ze rolled his eyes at him and ignored him, discussing ordering dishes with Yun Jing.

Lai Fu also followed behind his young master, earnestly helping him massage his shoulders and serving him tea and water.

Yun Jing coughed softly and said, "Brother Wang, as the saying goes, when you go out, don't show off your wealth, or you'll be watched by others."

We are all children. If we openly show that we are rich, wouldn’t that be a clear warning to those who have bad intentions?

Wang Ze nodded, then looked at Wang Ye: "Did you hear that? I'm talking to you. Don't attract bad guys, and don't blame us for not warning you."

"We've been traveling all day, so we don't have much of an appetite. Let's have a bowl of rice porridge each," Yun Jing said to the waiter. "And a plate of minced meat and tofu, a portion of pickled vegetables, and a cucumber salad... This is our first time in a strange place, and heavy meals can easily irritate our stomachs, so we can eat something lighter for our first meal."

Wang Ze also nodded in agreement and gave instructions to the waiter.

Wang Ye could only give up the idea and quietly shut his mouth. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. It would be better to wait until today is over and eat something good to replenish yourself tomorrow.

The four of them sat quietly aside. Aside from Ah Fu, the other three were scholars. Yun Jing had a clear appearance and an elegant demeanor. Wang Ze had a somewhat wilder air, while Wang Ye's every inch of him clearly showed he was rich.

While they were waiting for their food, the young man at the next table couldn't help but come over and talk to them.

"My name is Wenxuan, nice to meet you, brothers." The man, dressed in a light blue gown, greeted them with a smile and a bow. "I came to Yuzhou today to take the exam. From your accents, you sound like you're from Yunding County. I wonder if I'm right?"

Wang Ze has always been unrestrained and doesn't like this kind of scene. Wang Ye even looks down on people who take the initiative to strike up a conversation, so Yun Jing has to come forward to greet them.

Sister Yun stood up from her stool and bowed slightly in return, "We are indeed from Yunding County. It's amazing that you can recognize our accent."

"I've heard there are two talented people in Yunding County, one is Yun Jing, the other is Wang Ye, both are renowned for their virtues." The man's eyes were blazing with curiosity. "I just heard you guys talking, could they be the people mentioned in the rumors?"

Hearing someone praising him, Wang Ye couldn't sit still any longer. He immediately stood up and replied proudly, "It was me. You guys have good eyesight. You saw it right away."

"Haha..." Perhaps he didn't expect Wang Ye's answer to be so arrogant, which made him smile awkwardly.

I really don't know how to handle this kind of situation. After a few greetings, the dishes were served.

Everyone then returned to their respective seats and started eating. Yun Zhenzhen, the adult, was completely unaware of the little incident that happened downstairs and was still lying on the bed resting.

Until nightfall, she took a nap, drank a large bowl of white porridge, and lay back on the bed to continue sleeping. She slept for a whole night. When she woke up the next morning, she felt that her strength had returned to her.

She stood at the window of her room, looking at the bustling crowd below. On both sides were various merchants shouting. This street was very wide and long. Compared to the town, it was at least five times larger.

As Yun Zhenzhen walked out of the room, Wang Ze excitedly called her, "Godmother, when we went out today, we saw people performing acrobatics on the street. Let's go and join in the fun. You can't see this kind of thing in town."

"Let's not talk about that for now. Have you all had breakfast? You won't have the energy to study without breakfast." Yun Zhenzhen asked them with concern: "There should be a lot of snacks on the street that you haven't seen before. Whatever you like, just buy it. Godmother will pay for it."

Yun Jing and his friends got up early and had been studying in the room. Only when they heard Yun Zhenzhen's voice did they open the door and come out.

Wang Ye was just chatting with a few students in the lobby downstairs, as if they were friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Yun Zhenzhen felt a little helpless. She had never seen how this child studied, yet he had so many concubines at such a young age. She didn't know what the result of this exam would be.

However, when he saw the dark circles under the eyes of several children next to him, he knew that they had stayed up late to study. Over-relaxation is not good, but being too nervous before the exam is not conducive to the exam either. They should have some proper leisure and entertainment.

She looked at the two children with a smile and said, "Come on, let's go shopping, try some local specialties, and take a walk."

Yun Jing never refused his aunt's request. He immediately packed up the books and other things and followed.

While he was cleaning, Yun Zhenzhen looked at the writing supplies on the table. The brush he used was the one he bought a long time ago, and it was a bit prickly. He couldn't take this thing to the exam. It seemed that he had to buy some school supplies for the children.

After all, living conditions are better now, and children cannot make compromises when taking important exams. Apart from their own efforts, all kinds of external objects cannot disturb their studies.

A group of people slowly walked out of the F Inn and headed towards the busiest street.

"Godmother, I went out for a walk early today and saw some dim sum shops that were really busy. I heard they're a local specialty. I'll take you there." Wang Ze pointed excitedly. "I wasn't familiar with this place originally, but I came out early this morning to check it out, and now I have a pretty good idea of ​​where it is. If we want to buy anything, I'll take you there."

Wang Ye followed behind and saw this scene. He was very puzzled. His cousin used to be a proud, cool and elegant man. How come he became such a flatterer after staying in the countryside for so long?
