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

When Jiang Xiaoqi returned home, she was greeted with a delightful meal by her grandparents.

Of course, I also didn't forget to send the smoked bamboo shoots that I brought back from afar to the kitchen, so that my family can taste the spring bamboo shoots from Yunqing Mountain tonight.

The eldest sister, Jiang Xiwen, also returned to her parents' home with her husband, Dong Jin, and brought along their baby, who was less than a year old.

Jiang Xiaoqi was becoming an uncle for the first time, and he remembered to prepare a gift for his little nephew in advance. Of course, he also made up for the full moon gift, a complete set of gold necklace, gold bracelet, and gold anklet, five pieces of gold!

Besides gold, he also gave his nephew a jade safety buckle. This safety buckle was a bit smaller than the external space safety buckle he had snatched from the system, but it was still very beautiful and valuable.

It contains gold and jade, symbolizing wealth and good fortune.

Dong Jin was amazed by his brother-in-law's generosity, while Jiang Xiwen scolded her brother for spending money so extravagantly.

"Sister, this is my own nephew. It's not my duty as his uncle to spend money on him. When I get old, my nephew won't abandon me."

"That's true. If this brat dares to be disrespectful to his uncle in the future, I'll beat him three times a day. I can't raise a son who's a thankless wretch."

蒋曦文说要揍儿子，董进一句话也不反驳，倒不是不疼孩子，他就是怕娘子连他一起打，打了儿子，不是就不会打他了？

"Spare the rod and spoil the child," he couldn't stop his wife from disciplining the child, yes, that's how it is.

After giving the younger child away, Jiang Xiaoqi presented her grandparents with all the delicious food and fun toys she had collected over the past year, much to the delight of the two elderly people who nodded and praised her.

They don't care what gifts the children give them; they are simply content with the fact that the children remember them.

What the son couldn't do, the grandson did. He didn't enjoy the blessings of his son, but he did enjoy the blessings of his grandson.

At this point, they could see that their daughter-in-law, who had been gone for a year, wasn't so angry anymore. After all, without her, they wouldn't have such a wonderful grandson.

Sigh, while I can still walk, it's good to go out for a walk. It's better than regretting it when I can't move anymore.

Just as the family was enjoying a happy time together, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

"What's going on? It's so noisy."

Landlord Jiang frowned. On this joyous occasion of his grandson's return home, who was causing trouble?

"Reporting to Master, it's the Third Miss. She's arguing with Aunt Pan," Steward Wen reported as he entered. He had just sent someone to mediate the fight.

"What's going on now?" Landlord Jiang stood up, his face full of displeasure. The others followed suit and walked out.

In the courtyard, the third young lady's face was flushed: "Auntie, my marriage is decided by my grandparents. How can you, how can you ask me to meet some cousin without the family's consent!"

Jiang Xiwen stepped forward and scolded, "Third sister, stop being so rude! Today is a day for family reunion, yet you're throwing a tantrum. What kind of behavior is this?"

The third young lady snorted: "Eldest sister, my aunt is confused. She actually wants me to meet with men outside the marriage at will."

It turns out that the Pan family had long wanted to arrange a marriage between the three members of the Jiang family who had passed the imperial examinations. They were afraid that if the Jiang family produced another scholar who passed the provincial examinations, they would look down on their family even more. That's why they wanted to finalize the marriage before the provincial examinations.

Now that the third young lady, Jiang Lan'er, is about to come of age, the Pan family has privately entrusted Aunt Pan to act as matchmaker.

Of course, they knew that a concubine couldn't make the decision about the marriage of the Jiang family's daughter, which is why they came up with the idea of ​​having the two meet in private. If Miss Jiang herself was willing, wouldn't that make it more than halfway done?

Before she could even meet him, Aunt Pan had only mentioned him to her daughter, but her daughter strongly objected, saying she would rather die than see her cousin.

Jiang Lan'er studied poetry, literature, and etiquette with her female teacher for three or four years and learned many principles. Teacher Su was not a dogmatic or pedantic person, so naturally the students she taught also had their own ideas.

They already know to resist anything they deem wrong, even if that person is their own aunt who gave birth to them.

Just as the atmosphere was at an impasse, Jiang Xiaoqi stepped forward: "Third sister, you haven't seen the gift I brought you yet. Fourth sister and the others are already waiting in the flower hall, they're just waiting for you."

"Seventh Brother! You're back!"

Jiang Lan'er wiped away her tears, put on a smile, and impressed Jiang Xiaoqi with how quickly she changed her expression.

"Yes, you're back, Third Sister. Shall we go check the gifts together?"

"Okay, let's go!"

Jiang Lan'er left behind the aggrieved Aunt Pan and happily went off with her seventh brother.

"Um, is it that easy to persuade them?"

Jiang Xiwen and Jiang Xiyue exchanged a glance, both seeing the question in each other's eyes. They had thought it would take some effort.

When everyone arrived at the flower hall, they saw that the table was filled with strange and unusual things.

These were all collected by Jiang Xiaoqi while shopping. Most of them were not worth much money, but they were rare and precious.

Jiang Xiaoqi smiled and picked up an exquisite bone fan, handing it to Jiang Lan'er. "Third sister, this fan is only found in the South. I bought more than a dozen, one for each of the women in the family."

Oh, and this silk handkerchief, it's made of silk, and several other delicate little trinkets, are all in these two boxes. You'll be in charge of distributing them to everyone later.

"Me? I'll take a share?"

"Yes, I'll leave it to Third Sister."

"Okay, I'll make sure I get them all, I won't be biased."

Jiang Xiaoqi then took out a small box and handed it to Jiang Lan'er separately.

"What is this?"

"The coming-of-age ceremony gift for Third Sister was given to both Eldest and Second Sisters before, so of course Third Sister will receive one too."

Now, Jiang Lan'er's tears, which she had just held back, were about to burst forth again. Jiang Xiaoqi pulled out a silk handkerchief from the box and handed it to her.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Such a beautiful handkerchief shouldn't be used to wipe away tears, it would be a waste."

"It is an honor for this handkerchief to wipe away my sister's tears, how could it be a waste?"

"Pfft!" Jiang Lan'er was amused again and happily accepted the coming-of-age gift from her seventh brother.

"Aren't angry anymore?"

"Ah."

"Grandparents will keep an eye on Third Sister's marriage. As for Cousin Pan, if Third Sister doesn't want to see him, then she doesn't have to. Besides, cousins ​​are considered close relatives, and marriage between close relatives is really problematic and will affect the next generation."

"Seventh Brother, what you say must be right. Master Su also mentioned it before. What you learned people say must be correct."

My aunt is illiterate and always assumes things are easy. She softens immediately when someone comes to our door crying. She used to know that she was doing it for my own good and for my sake.

Now that I'm older, my mind is becoming increasingly stubborn. She's my aunt; all I can do is argue and make a scene to teach her a lesson, so she won't do something similar again.

When Jiang Xiaoqi was little, he played with his older sisters. He knew that his third and fourth sisters were girls with their own ideas. Now that they were older and had gone to school, they had indeed improved a lot since they were little.

It was truly the right decision to hire Master Su Ran; I imagine the fifth and sixth sisters below have also been taught very well.

This time when I go to the provincial capital, I can bring my older sisters with me. My youngest fifth and sixth sisters are already thirteen years old. In a few years, they will all be looking for partners and leaving home to get married.

Then take advantage of the time they are at their parents' home and take them out to see more of the world.

Like his eldest and second eldest sisters, the other sisters could choose whomever they liked; he didn't need to sell his sisters for marriage alliances.

He passed the imperial examinations to support his family, so his sisters wouldn't have to compromise themselves and ruin their happiness.
