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

Jiang Xiaoqi also felt that her father was incredibly lucky.

His trip to the capital this time was purely to see his family off. Once his brothers-in-law entered the Hanlin Academy, his grandfather went to the Ministry of Revenue, his father went to Tongxian to take up his post, and his family was all settled, he was ready to let his family roam freely.

Staying in the capital meant nothing to him, even though most of his family was there, but he had promised his mother.

Take your mother to more places, whether it's to help others or to enjoy the scenery.

In addition, Jiang Xiaoqi also wanted to further refine his map of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and also inquire about the whereabouts of A Niu's family.

Wander around and explore, measuring the vast land of the Great Zhou Dynasty with your footsteps.

Of course, he continued to complete his map of the Great Zhou Dynasty in secret, since drawing maps without authorization was a capital offense.

He also invited someone to accompany him on this study tour. If possible, after seeing the magnificent landscape of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he would like to go to the other side of the sea.

I wonder how far things have developed over there, since the Great Zhou Dynasty doesn't exist in his known history. So what about overseas?

Could there be places similar to the crescent moon or Fusang?

"Mingfei, do you only have one set of cards for the Champion of Fighting?"

The usually taciturn Sixth Sister rarely spoke such a long string of words, which surprised Jiang Xiaoqi. Could this be the charm of playing cards?

"Well, there's only one finished product right now, but I have some semi-finished products. I should be able to make another one in a day or two."

"If Sixth Sister wants to play, I'll make another set. How about tomorrow? I'll send it over to you then, okay?"

Actually, Jiang Weier regretted saying those words as soon as she did it. She always told her fifth sister not to waste her time on frivolous pursuits.

But now, Fifth Sister isn't attracted to the "battle for the top scholar"; instead, she's a little reluctant to leave.

But she couldn't tell her grandfather and father, "Let me play for a while. You must be tired after playing for so long. Take a break."

Although that's probably what she really thought, her grandfather, father, and second brother-in-law kept playing one game after another, occupying their spots, which was quite frustrating.

My third sister's husband and third sister were playing chess, but their eyes would occasionally drift to the "battle for the top scholar" game.

She could also tell that her fourth and fifth sisters wanted to play too, but they just didn't dare to say it out loud.

She didn't dare to say it herself, but she could just tell her seventh brother, since he was the one who made the "Battle of the Top Scholar" cards.

If you can make one set, you can make a second and a third. Jiang Feier was very happy to hear Jiang Xiaoqi's agreement, but after calculating the number of people in her mind, she still asked for two sets of cards.

There are now five people who want to play, but only three people can play a set of cards at the same time.

If my seventh brother makes another set, then there will definitely be two more people who won't be able to play, so we can't take that risk.

"Yes, can I have two sets?"

"Two sets?" Jiang Xiaoqi was a little surprised. If everyone wasn't on the official ship, he would have suspected that his sixth sister wanted to take the cards to sell.

But this is on the river, far from any village or shop, so there must be more than three people waiting to have fun.

"Okay, then I'll make two new sets for Sixth Sister and send them to you tomorrow."

Jiang Xiaoqi now has cheap bamboo strips obtained by exchanging points, as well as props produced by the system, such as a printer.

There's no need to draw them one by one, saving time and effort.

But he can't take it out now; if he does, Sixth Sister's resentment will probably only intensify.

After all, the official boat had been sailing for several days, and Sixth Sister had been watching Grandpa and the others play "Battle of the Top Scholars" for just as long.

If you knew he could pull out two decks of cards in a heartbeat, you'd probably feel even worse...

The next day, as promised, Jiang Xiaoqi delivered two sets of Dou Zhuangyuan cards to her sixth sister, Jiang Weier.

Jiang Xiaoqi finally saw a faint smile line on her sixth sister's face, which was as cold as an ice queen.

However, he didn't know that this was Jiang Weier's appearance after she had tried her best to control it.

In reality, she was overjoyed at that moment, even jumping around and rolling around in the air several times!

"Thank you, Seventh Brother. When we arrive in the capital, Sixth Sister will treat you to the city's delicacies."

Hmm? Beijing cuisine? I've eaten my fair share in my past life, but does Beijing really have any good food?

I don't know, but it definitely didn't happen in later generations!

He would never forget that infamous drink that captivated people, a drink that was said to be a special drink that outsiders wouldn't believe in.

I never want to try it again! Never again!

"There's no need for such formalities between siblings, cough cough, no, I mean, it's too much of a formality for siblings to say thank you!"

Jiang Weier nodded slightly, then walked away carrying two boxes of bamboo cards.

Soon, two more groups of heroes, each vying for the title of "top scholar," appeared on the spacious deck.

Jiang Xiaoqi didn't want to go fishing or play cards, and he wanted to play chess but couldn't find an opponent.

He could only wander around on the official boat alone; it was the same kind of official boat he had ridden on a few years ago.

That night marked the first time I went on a killing spree, and it felt completely different from the experience of killing enemies in the North later on.

Wenbin and Li Mo must have felt the same way, which is why they never mentioned the word "fishing" again after boarding the boat.

Jiang Xiaoqi went to the bow of the boat and looked at the surging river.

The river is now back to its usual state, clear and azure.

The river water can be restored, but the innocent lives taken away by the river can never be brought back.

By sheer coincidence, a carrier pigeon landed on Jiang Xiaoqi's shoulder, and Jiang Xiaoqi casually fed the pigeon some grains from her purse.

He casually untied the thin bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg and took out the paper strip inside.

"The prince begged and pleaded, and the emperor personally gave the order."

The snowflake-like scraps of paper were thrown into the river and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Ha, just as I expected. I thought that person had quite a background before, but this is more than just a background.

If the emperor is also a type of official, then this is probably the biggest "second-generation official" in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Last time in the alley, Jiang Xiaoqi didn't want to get involved, after all, those big men who were "bullying people" were really bad actors.

And that silly, beautiful young master, apart from his pretty face, his intelligence is really worrying, and he really treats everyone else like fools.

The two had clearly met for the second time, but for some reason the other party refused to admit it.

Even if Jiang Xiaoqi didn't have a photographic memory, he wouldn't make a mistake recognizing a person, especially since that person wasn't a generic face.

To match the other party's lackluster performance and to see what they were really up to, he went along with it and acted out a bit as well.

Unexpectedly, the man persisted, not only asking him to take him home but also forcing him to accept a jade pendant that looked quite valuable.

This is not how you stage an accident; the consequences are far too great.

Everything is so strange...

Now it's even stranger; the information gathered by Lin Feng's intelligence agents in Beijing must be accurate.

After all, this intelligence agent has a special identity; if you get information from him, it's 99.99% guaranteed to be true.

Zhao Hongsheng, what exactly are you trying to do?!
