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

The arrival of the four women from the Jiang family brought a moment of silence to the flower hall.

The four sisters are of different ages, but they all inherited the good genes of the Jiang family. Unlike Jiang Xiaoqi, who looks more like her mother, the sisters, including the fifth and sixth sisters, all look very much like Jiang Wenqing.

This is probably Jiang Wenqing's greatest contribution to the family: passing on her good looks to her daughters.

However, it's also possible that the girls inherited their good looks from the landlord Jiang. After all, Jiang Wenqing's own good looks were inherited from the landlord Jiang.

To be fair, there are no ugly people in the Jiang family; the only place with an "average appearance" is among their future sons-in-law.

After all, the current son-in-law Dong Jin is of above-average looks, while the prospective son-in-law Li Haisheng, apart from having a slightly darker complexion, is quite handsome.

The undecided third brother-in-law, whom Jiang Xiaoqi initially set her sights on but later disliked, was also a handsome man with the spirit of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

"Whose daughters are these?" a pretty young girl couldn't help but ask curiously. All of them in the flower hall were the families of scholars and officials who had passed the imperial examinations.

"The oldest one has her hair styled in a woman's bun. You should ask which scholar or licentiate's wife she is."

"Aren't there three unmarried young ladies? They must have come with their fathers and brothers, not with their fiancés, right?"

"What you say makes sense, but those who can pass the imperial examination are all quite old, so you shouldn't count on it."

The young lady who answered came with her brother, but her brother was only a scholar; their family had paid money to get in.

My elder brother is only twenty-two years old this year. He is a young talent among the scholars. Compared with those scholars who are thirty or forty years old, my brother is quite outstanding in terms of academic achievements.

She had long had her eye on the young lady in front of her. This was the daughter of a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations. If she could marry her brother, he would have a ready-made scholar as his father-in-law.

Not only will I be able to guide my elder brother's studies from time to time, but I can also impart some experience to him during the next provincial examination, which will greatly increase his chances of passing the examination.

But this woman in front of her is the daughter of a scholar who passed the imperial examinations, and she still dares to dream of marrying a scholar who also passed the imperial examinations. She really has a wild imagination. Is it so easy to become a scholar?

Besides, the youngest person who actually passed the imperial examination was already of marriageable age, so where would you find any unmarried talents waiting for you to choose from?

Her older brother is already very outstanding and hardworking; his goal is to pass the imperial examination at the age of twenty-eight.

A scholar who is not yet twenty years old is even harder to find than a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. Even if one could be found, he would have already been snatched up by a powerful family that had made a list of potential sons-in-law, and he would not be available on the market.

"What are you talking about! I'm just curious about which family these celestial beings belong to. What do you mean by 'hope' or 'hope'? I don't understand what you're talking about, hmph."

The pretty young lady wrinkled her nose, making her even more adorable. Ignoring the people in front of her, she walked towards Madam Tan on her own.

Approaching Madam Tan's side, he gave a slight curtsy and said, "Madam Tan, are you well?"

Madam Tan smiled and nodded, "Zhiqing, you've been quite well-behaved today."

The girl named Zhiqing smiled sweetly: "Madam, this place is so lively, so naturally I had to come and join in the fun." As she spoke, her eyes secretly glanced at Jiang Xiyue and her sisters.

When Madam Tan saw Feng Zhiqing's gaze fall upon them, she was happy to introduce them to each other.

"These are the daughters of the Jiang family, who have come to the capital with their families to take the imperial examinations. Since you are all relatives of scholars, you must have common topics to discuss. Why don't you hang out together?"

"So it's the young ladies of the Jiang family. They are all truly talented. I feel ashamed of myself."

"You're too modest, little sister. If such a lovely and charming girl should feel ashamed of herself, then there are hardly any good women in this world."

"Sister, I am Feng Jiazhiqing. You can just call me Qing'er."

Feng Zhiqing, ever the friendly type, took Jiang Xiwen's hand, her eyes sparkling.

“Jiang Jiaxi, these are my second sister, third sister, and fourth sister.”

Jiang Xiwen revealed the names of her sisters, letting everyone present know that they were sisters, and deliberately downplayed the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children.

The girls in their family all have the same monthly period now, and their clothing is only slightly different. The family knows this, but it is difficult for outsiders to tell the difference in their standards.

Even Madam Tan, who brought them here, assumed that all the Jiang family members were legitimate daughters, so she never neglected any of them.

"So you are all sisters by blood. That's wonderful. It must be so lively at home with so many sisters together."

"Sigh, unlike me, I have brothers in my family, and I'm the only girl. I can't even find someone to learn embroidery with; I can only ask other embroiderers for advice."

"It's good to have many brothers in the family. They can help each other and not put all the burden on one person. They can also support their married sisters together."

Jiang Xiwen thought of her younger brother, who was so young and had to worry about the family and his older sisters' marriages. It was really too tiring. If he had a brother to help share the burden, he wouldn't be so tired.

The five of them left the crowded flower hall and found a waterside pavilion surrounded by chrysanthemums of various colors. There was also a stove in the pavilion, so it wasn't too cold.

"Sister Xiwen, so you're not only the granddaughter of a Juren (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations), but also the daughter of a Juren, and then you married a Xiucai (a scholar who passed the county-level imperial examination), and now you're a Juren's wife?!"

"Yes, that's true."

Jiang Xiwen felt quite helpless because although the girl in front of her was lively, the conversation always revolved around the topic of the scholar.

Now they're still pressing for answers, wanting to know exactly who these girls came to the Tan Family Villa with.

"What a lucky person!"

Um, what I mean is, with such a good marriage for the older sister, won't it raise the standards of the younger sisters? They'll probably all look for husbands based on the older sister's standards, right?

These average young men probably wouldn't even catch the eye of the sisters. After all, with their eldest brother-in-law as a benchmark, who wouldn't want to find someone with a promising future?

Feng Zhiqing's words seemed joking, but they also carried a hint of sourness. If one daughter could marry a scholar, it couldn't be that every daughter of the Jiang family could marry a scholar. Did they think scholars were as common as cabbages, something you could just get if you wanted them?

"No, not at all. These things are arranged by parents and matchmakers. How can a daughter say such things? The elders have their own arrangements, and we should just follow their arrangements."

Jiang Lan'er couldn't hold back any longer. She felt that since they were all daughters of a scholar, her eldest sister was a scholar's wife, her second sister was a scholar's fiancée, and she and her younger sister were a scholar's granddaughters, a scholar's sister-in-law, and more likely, the future scholar's older sisters.

Since everyone is of equal status, there's no need to tolerate Feng Zhiqing's repeated overstepping of boundaries.

Feng Zhiqing was asking about Jiang Xiwen, since she was indeed married to a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations, and might even become the wife of a scholar who passed the highest level of the imperial examinations, or the wife of an official.

She was much colder towards Jiang Xiyue and the others. She hadn't expected that the Third Miss Jiang, who had been quietly following behind and not very noticeable, would say such things.

"Uh, haha, yes, yes, I just said it offhand, please forgive me, haha."

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

With the help of her two brothers-in-law, Jiang Xiaoqi picked several plum blossoms and saved the best ones for her mother.

He gave the remaining flowers to his older sisters. Although he was over seven years old, his baby face allowed him to successfully move to the women's side. He planned to give the flowers to his sisters and then leave.

But as soon as he arrived, he overheard his sisters being asked by a young lady about their criteria for choosing a husband. Haha, he really came at the perfect time!
