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

"Young Master, which way are we going?"

Li Mo forced down his smile and asked his young master while driving the carriage.

The young master didn't bring anyone else this time, only himself. Wenbin and Aniu's attempts to whine and plead were useless this time.

What are your thoughts, Mother?

Jiang Xiaoqi had planned several locations, but he had some difficulty making a choice, perhaps because he is a Libra.

"It's almost winter in the capital now, how about we go somewhere where it's spring all year round?"

Spring-like weather all year round? Jiang Xiaoqi's first thought was Yuanzhou, which governed five counties, one of which was Chunyi County...

It has a spring-like climate all year round, with suitable humidity, a warm and livable environment, and no miasma.

"Okay, then let's make Yuanzhou our first stop!"

Jiang Xiaoqi recalled that the place not only had a spring-like climate all year round, but most importantly, it also had many hot springs, especially a type of salt hot spring, which was beneficial to health.

Although it is a study tour, there is no need to suffer without hardship. The true meaning of a study tour is to travel and learn about things you have never heard of or seen before.

Lin Yueniang didn't bring any maids this time, only her best female bodyguard.

The female nurse, Fuling, and Li Mo sat on the carriage shafts, one on each side, driving the carriage, their smiles equally uncontrollable.

She stood out by defeating all the female nurses in the mansion, and this "official business trip" opportunity was earned through her own hard work!

The four of them, master and servants, headed towards Yuanzhou. After leaving the capital for a hundred miles, Jiang Xiaoqi and Lin Yueniang switched from traveling by carriage to riding horses.

Of course, Li Mo and Fu Ling took turns driving the carriage, since all the luggage was inside.

"What do you mean by 'lost track'?! I'm asking you, what does 'lost track' mean?!"

"Useless! Good-for-nothings! A bunch of freeloaders!"

With a crash, teacups and teapots were knocked to the ground.

"Master, calm down. Send someone to investigate again, or have someone subtly inquire with the Jiang family."

Both of Jiang's brothers-in-law work at the Hanlin Academy, and Jiang's grandfather works at the Ministry of Revenue.

And then there's the favor you went through so much trouble to obtain—isn't Jiang Wenqing, the magistrate of Tongzhou Prefecture, the father of young Master Jiang?

With Xiao Dezi's reassurance, Zhao Hongsheng finally calmed down a bit.

"Yes, yes, you're right. Jiang Wenqing, no, Uncle Jiang, is in Tongzhou Prefecture. It's impossible for a father not to know where his child is."

Besides…”

Furthermore, Zhao Hongsheng felt he had done a favor for his "future father-in-law," so what was wrong with taking a little credit for it?

Go to the Tongzhou prefectural and county government office and ask Uncle Jiang; you'll definitely be able to find out where Qiqi is!

However, the Jiang family is really unreliable, sending an eleven or twelve-year-old child on a study tour!

It's one thing for their family not to know Qiqi's true identity, but Madam Jiang, as a mother, clearly knew that she had given birth to a daughter, not a son, yet she still sent her abroad to study!

That's utterly absurd! There are so many bad people out there, what if you encounter danger? What if you meet a lecherous person?

Sigh, they really are a handful!

But... could it be that Madame Chiang did this on purpose?

Knowing that her daughter was getting older, and fearing that it would be increasingly difficult to hide the truth from her in the future, she took her daughter away from her family to live elsewhere.

Perhaps they were using the pretext of revealing their daughter's true identity to find a place where no one knew them to live...

Zhao Hongsheng felt he had figured out the truth yet again! Sure enough, no secret plan could hide from his reasoning!

Lin Yueniang & Jiang Xiaoqi: That was a good push, don't push like that again next time!

Undeterred, Zhao Hongsheng asked Xiao Dezi to bring him his palace exit record, saying he could leave again in five days.

"Xiao Dezi, make the arrangements. We'll go to Tongzhou Prefecture in five days, departing at 3 AM!"

"Um... Master, isn't the hour of Yin (3-5 AM) a bit too early?"

It's still dark! We might not be able to convince the gatekeepers then.

"Tongzhou Prefecture is so far away, how can we make a round trip in one day if we don't start early!"

My father only stipulated the number of times I could leave the palace, but he did not limit the specific time I could leave!

"Just take care of the gatekeepers first, why can't you be more flexible!"

Xiao Dezi wiped the sweat from his forehead. What he said was true, but the opening and closing of the city gates were scheduled according to the time. How could a mere eunuch like him manage to do that for his master?

I'm so worried!

That young master Jiang is really causing trouble! Why did you run around like that for no reason?!

It's true what they say, "The higher-ups just give orders, but the people below are running themselves ragged." The servant who lost track of Young Master Jiang was punished, and he'll probably be punished sooner or later too!

...?(ˉ﹃ˉ?) Sigh~

Jiang Xiaoqi had no idea that the "working class" in the capital had shifted all the blame onto him. As he galloped on his horse, he felt the sweet fragrance in the air slowly purifying and easing the fatigue from his days and nights of studying.

Of course, I wasn't particularly tired. I've been away for so long that I haven't touched a book during the day. I only start writing when I go to my study space at night.

Of course, checking his points balance every day is his top priority.

Watching my points balance steadily increase makes me happy even if I don't buy or redeem anything!

If you occasionally give the dog system a little treat, it will fawn over you at any time, showing absolutely no restraint as a system.

System: What's this about being reserved? Can you give me an upgrade? Can I earn points? Can I redeem the system's latest skin? Oh, no, then what's the point of being reserved!

You can earn points simply by licking the host, buy skins, and quickly level up and evolve—why not?!

On the narrow mountain path—

"Mingfei, what is this? It's really useful!"

Lin Yueniang wore the brown goggles that Jiang Xiaoqi had just redeemed from the system. She felt that the sunlight was no longer glaring and the sandstorm no longer hurt her eyes. They were really useful!

"These are goggles imported from a foreign land. They also come in other colors. Would you like to try them on, Mother?"

Seeing that Jiang Xiaoqi was wearing a black suit, Lin Yueniang waved her hand in front of his eyes.

"You...can you really see the road?"

Jiang Xiaoqi took off her sunglasses and handed them to Lin Yueniang: "You can see, Mother, you can try!"

"Oh dear, it feels like a cloudy day!"

Wearing these goggles makes everything seem veiled in darkness; it's quite amazing!

Which one does Mother like?

"I'll stick with the one I just wore. This color is too dark and it's obstructing my vision a bit."

Lin Yueniang handed the sunglasses back to her son and then put on her own pair.

Jiang Xiaoqi didn't forget Li Mo and Fuling either, letting them choose for themselves.

Li Mo chose one just like his young master, so that people would immediately know that he was the young master's attendant, guard, and page.

Fuling, who is both a guard and a maid, actually wanted to choose burgundy, but felt it was too flashy, so she finally chose light gray.

She felt that she couldn't wear the same thing as the mistress, as that would be presumptuous.

"Mingfei, I've never seen such a novel item in the general stores in the capital. When did you buy it?"

"Well, it was probably brand new stock that just arrived when it was about to leave Beijing."

Lin Yueniang nodded. She had indeed been quite busy before leaving the capital and had barely stepped out of the mansion. It had been quite a while since she had gone shopping in the capital. She would visit that general store next time she returned.

System General Store: You won't find this even after ten looks! Everything produced by the system is guaranteed to be top-quality! Unique items! Not for sale! Only redeemable with points!
