After being reborn as a man, the woman improved her family's fortunes through education.

After winning the "Little Three Yuan" (a lottery prize), all the reward points were credited to my account. I only have less than a thousand points left to owe, so there's no pressure.

Touching the letter of recommendation that had been in his pocket for a long time, Jiang Xiaoqi decided to make arrangements for his family first before setting off south.

He had to explain things to all the family members, young and old, and plan out their 'development direction' for the next few years.

It's best if the whole family comes together for a roll (a traditional Chinese custom).

Lin Yueniang instructed the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal for the three newly appointed scholars.

As Landlord Jiang ate, he thought of Zhao's cook's skills. Actually, his own dishes were quite good, but for some reason, they were missing something: refinement.

Yes, it's exquisite. This is the kind of food that wealthy families usually eat. But the Zhao family, you can tell their wealth and status just from the dishes they serve.

Alas, it's incomparable, it's incomparable...

However, while his family had a son who achieved the highest honors in the imperial examinations, the Zhao family did not. Hehe, with such a promising grandson, it's hard to guarantee that his family won't become a prestigious clan in the future!

Jiang Wenqing didn't think his family's dishes were inferior to others; the flavors of Changshou County suited his stomach better, and he ate even more than he did in the provincial capital.

After a hearty meal, Jiang Xiaoqi told his grandfather about his plan.

"What?! Go south! No, no! You're still so young, your grandfather won't feel at ease!"

Landlord Jiang shook his head so hard it was like a rattle drum, and his hair bun almost fell askew.

"Grandfather, this is a rare opportunity."

Jiang Xiaoqi stared intently at her grandfather, her gaze firm and brooking no refusal.

The usually well-behaved grandson had now abandoned his usual tricks of acting cute and charming, leaving Landlord Jiang somewhat unaccustomed to it.

How come... after passing the imperial examination, my grandson has grown up in an instant?

"Are you really sure? Is that great scholar the Liu family introduced really reliable?"

Grandpa thinks you're learning very well on your own, why bother going all that way?

Who knows what we might encounter on this journey? The mountains are high and the roads are long, and I'm really worried about my family!

Does your mother know you're leaving? Even if your grandmother came, she wouldn't agree..."

"Grandfather, my studies have reached a bottleneck. Although I will study hard and pass the provincial examination in the future."

However, if one wants to come out on top, it's not something that can be achieved simply by putting in the time and effort day after day...

Many things still need a guide, a lighthouse, a direction.

"Besides, a man's ambition lies in all directions. I'm almost seven years old, it's time for me to go out and gain some experience," Jiang Xiaoqi said earnestly, word by word.

Looking at his resolute expression, Landlord Jiang couldn't help but sigh inwardly. If only his temperament could be balanced with that of his son.

"Since you have made up your mind, then your grandfather will not stop you any longer."

But remember, no matter how far you go, your family is waiting for you to come home.

Don't worry about material possessions when things happen; you yourself are the most valuable treasure.

"Bring Master Lin along, along with all the guards and skilled servants from the household."

Landlord Jiang patted Jiang Xiaoqi's still not very broad shoulder: "Wait for your grandmother and the others, let the whole family have a reunion dinner before you leave!"

"That's what my grandson thinks too, and besides, there are many arrangements that concern the sisters in the family."

Landlord Jiang didn't ask any more questions. His grandson's arrangements were naturally for the good of his granddaughters, as could be seen from the changes in the eldest and second daughters.

After a conversation, Jiang Xiaoqi finally returned to her room and began to pack her belongings. Once she had packed some things, she simply tossed them into her external storage space.

The four treasures of the study that I usually use, a large box of books by my bedside, some spare clothes and snacks.

After tidying up most of the things, I took out spare paper and pen and started writing a schedule for each person in the family.

He started with his grandfather, and gave him two suggestions: first, to continue taking the imperial examinations, participate in the provincial examinations next year, and then take the provincial examinations to obtain the title of Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial examinations).

Then, if you can become an official, then you can become an official. Even if you can't become an official, having the status of a scholar who passed the imperial examination makes it easier to do anything.

Secondly, they could abandon scientific research, stay home and focus on managing their businesses, and develop one or two new ventures to increase production and efficiency for their families.

He didn't know which path his grandfather would choose, but he actually preferred the imperial examination, since his grandfather was more knowledgeable than his father and had a greater chance of passing the examination.

This is evident from the rankings in the provincial examination.

Then there's Mother. Master Lin will take her with him, while Master Zhao will stay in the Jiang family, specifically responsible for teaching martial arts to all the women in the Jiang family.

We can't be satisfied with dealing with thugs who only have a mediocre skill level; we must at least train to be on par with Master Zhao.

This way, you won't be bullied, and you'll have the ability to protect yourself when you encounter danger.

I wonder how well the martial arts books I gave to the mother and daughters are doing with their studies... They should be of some use, right?

Then there were his two older sisters, each writing a letter that, in addition to arrangements for martial arts training, also mentioned their marriage.

My eldest sister is about to turn 18, and he's afraid he won't be able to make it in time, but he's already prepared a gift for her.

Around the time my eldest sister comes of age, her marriage will definitely be officially on the agenda.

At this age, most girls start looking for a partner around thirteen or fourteen. His family had three members preparing for the provincial examinations, which downplayed the importance of Jiang Xiwen being a potential matchmaker.

Now, looking at it again, the timing is just right...

After all, she's the granddaughter of a scholar, the daughter of a scholar, and the sister of a scholar—a triple scholar, that's a truly remarkable achievement...
