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

Her encounter with Lin Xiao was brief, followed by a quick separation.

Jiang Xiaoqi took this "meeting an old friend in a foreign land" as a prelude to his future "passing the imperial examination with flying colors".

Aside from the clan members, there weren't many people I spent time with when I was young; Lin Xiao was one, and Tan Hao was another.

There's also Zhao Hongxuan and Lin Xiao's cousin, who's been missing for a while now. I think his name is Yun Muze?

I can't quite remember, but as long as we're all on the land of the Great Zhou, there will always be a time when our paths cross again.

They returned the farmhouse, and Li Mo and Fu Ling loaded all their belongings onto the carriage.

These past few days have consumed some of the food and dried goods brought on board, but the carriage is still quite full.

When settling the rent, Lin Yueniang couldn't resist buying two large bars of smoked ham from the landlord.

Sigh~ It's alright, it's something useful after all, Jiang Xiaoqi thought.

Chunyi is located at the southernmost part of Yuanzhou, only two hundred li away. Jiang Xiaoqi and his group did not travel very fast and arrived outside Chunyi County in less than two days.

"It feels like the climate is no different from that of Yuanzhou..."

It took Lin Yueniang less than half an hour to go from expectation to disappointment.

During this half-hour period, they entered a small town in Chunyi County, which is said to have "salt hot springs," from outside the city.

However, the climate here is not significantly different from that in Yuanzhou. Although the scenery is also beautiful, they have already seen too many beautiful sights along the way.

I wouldn't say I'm immune to beautiful scenery, but I'm just a little tired of it.

Li Mo stopped the carriage and tied up his masters' horses.

Fu Ling found a shady spot, set up a simple stove, and prepared lunch.

Jiang Xiaoqi brewed two cups of tea with mint leaves. Although Chunyi is said to be like spring all year round, this time of year should be considered Chunyi's "summer".

The group ate some minced meat porridge and were losing their appetite when they suddenly heard a melodious flute tune.

The voice was ethereal and melodious, as if it possessed a kind of magic, instantly attracting their attention.

Curious, Jiang Xiaoqi followed the sound of the flute and found a young man in white leisurely playing the flute in a bamboo forest.

The young man had a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament, and seemed to be surrounded by a faint halo.

I have to say, this is really pretentious! But it's also really cool!

But the prerequisite is... the person trying to show off needs to meet certain standards in terms of appearance!

You have to be handsome, otherwise you'll look rather greasy.

Please! Who would wear a brand new, all-white outfit and play the flute in the wild for no reason?!

However, Jiang Xiaoqi did not go forward, simply assuming it was free background music in a tourist attraction.

“Mother, although this place seems no different from Yuanzhou, the salt hot springs here are unique to Chunyi.”

While other counties within Yuanzhou also have hot springs, this "salt hot spring" is unique to Chunyi County.

"What's so special about this salt hot spring? Does it have any health benefits after soaking in it?"

"I don't know if it can improve your health, but I once read a travelogue that mentioned that salt hot springs are indeed good for your health."

Everyone's interest was piqued upon hearing this. Lin Yueniang eagerly asked, "Then the people of Chunyi County can use the salt hot springs freely?"

"I don't know if others can do it, but we'll definitely be able to."

"Oh?" Lin Yueniang knew her son was going to keep her in suspense again, so she didn't urge him and just sat on the rock waiting for Jiang Xiaoqi to continue.

Jiang Xiaoqi cleared his throat and said, "My master, Mr. Ouyang, has an old acquaintance in Chunyi County. His family owns a hot spring resort with the largest salt hot spring in Chunyi."

If we want to go, we just need to go and identify ourselves.

Lin Yueniang's eyes lit up, but she hesitated, "Wouldn't that be a bit presumptuous? After all, it's a hot spring, would they really let a stranger go?"

"There shouldn't be any problem. The hot springs are widely distributed, and even if they are all in the same village, there isn't just one hot spring pool."

The host will specially set aside a hot spring for guests to use, which is usually located in the guest courtyard.

I was carrying my master's keepsake, so I took the opportunity to visit an old friend on his behalf.

"We won't go empty-handed, Mom. Didn't you buy two big strips of smoked ham? Let's bring them along as gifts!"

It was already late, so the group found a slightly larger inn to stay at. Jiang Xiaoqi put down her luggage and took out paper and pen from her spatial storage.

He had to write a visiting card; he couldn't just walk straight to their house, that would be too impolite.

He sometimes feels it's a real pity that some of the customs and etiquette of the ancients have not been passed down. In later generations, people can visit others with just a phone call or a WeChat message, which is so convenient.

Many people don't even know that you should invite someone to dinner or a party at least three days in advance. Three days in advance is called "inviting," two days is called "calling," and one day is called "tipping off."

In later generations, more and more people have stopped caring about or valuing this seemingly unnecessary and troublesome etiquette.

He sealed the visiting card and handed it to his only subordinate, Li Mo, saying, "Send it to the Cui residence now. Tell them that Ouyang Zheng's student is traveling through this area and has come to pay a visit to Master Cui."

"I understand, Master!"

Fuling had already tidied up Lin Yueniang's room. She knew her mistress's habits and still preferred to use things brought from home.

Fuling can quickly arrange everything wherever she goes, truly deserving of the title of the one who defeated all the female guards of the entire Jiang family.

His fighting skills are undeniable, and his work ability is even more outstanding.

Cui Residence, Chunyi County

"Master, master, this is a visiting card brought in by the gatekeeper. It says that Mr. Ouyang's student is here to study and wishes to visit in three days."

“Ouyang? Which Ou…” The words that Master Cui was about to say seemed to be paused.

Could it be him? His old friend whom he hadn't seen for twenty years, Ouyang Zheng!

"Give me the visiting card!"

After receiving the visiting card from the steward, Master Cui skimmed through it, then went back and read it slowly again.

"Haha, as expected, it is Shan Chu's disciple who has come to Chunyi!"

Three days later, three days later… Steward Wu, prepare the best hot spring inn. Now that we're in Chunyi, how can we let the disciples of Shanchu stay outside?

Also, have someone buy more seasonal fruits and vegetables, as well as seafood and game, but I don't know if he can get used to Chunyi's taste.

besides……"

Master Cui circled his pavilion several times, giving instructions to his steward while pondering what else might be needed.

After arranging everything, I finally gave up the idea of ​​going to the inn to find someone right now.

It's only three days; he can wait.

It's a good time to have the servants tidy up the house over these three days, especially the guest courtyard!

"Father, what's making you so happy?"
