After being reborn as a man, the woman improved her family's fortunes through education.
Chapter 5 Overuse of the Brain
Who has a baby under one year old reading the Analects of Confucius?
Oh, it's him, Jiang Xiaoqi.
Through tireless efforts every night, Jiang Xiaoqi has begun to delve into the Four Books and Five Classics.
As the missions were completed, all sorts of strange pills accumulated, but his favorite was the Youth Preservation Pill.
After all, Mother is no longer young, and it is precisely the time when she needs the anti-aging pill.
Lin Yueniang is about to turn thirty-three. She suffered grievances in the Jiang family a few years ago, which made her resentful and caused her to develop premature gray hair.
The skin on her face is no longer fair and tender, and she has long lost the charm of her youth. It is only after having a son that her mood improved and she became more energetic.
Jiang Xiaoqi was eager to give his mother a youth-preserving pill. He had seen the two concubines before; they were not as beautiful as his mother, but they were young.
He was confident that as long as he gave his mother the youth-preserving pills, her appearance would absolutely surpass that of his two concubines.
No rush, let's wait a bit longer. The system said that one youth-preserving pill can make you five or six years younger. We'll give it to his mother when he grows up.
Even if you eat it at night for two years, you can still look like your mother in her twenties. As a mother of three, that's pretty good.
"Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have completed the stage of learning. Please select your reward."
"Hmm, the Youth Preservation Pill is enough for now, then let's have the Invulnerability Pill."
Although there's little chance of getting poisoned, it's better to be safe than sorry, since there are only a few types of prizes to choose from right now.
It's either a pill to preserve youth or to make skin snow-white, or a pill to cleanse the marrow and strengthen the bones. But his small body can't practice martial arts for the time being, so he'll have to wait a few years before he can use it.
It's not easy for a new category to appear, so of course I have to collect it.
This collecting habit is deeply rooted in collecting cards from instant noodles. Which person born in the 1980s doesn't have this collecting habit?
"Congratulations, host, you have successfully claimed your reward. Would you like to arrange for storage?"
Haha, are you expecting me to eat them all now if I don't store them? He almost choked to death last time!
That hypocritical, dog-like system, that skinflint! Just wait! Wait until he grows his teeth!
"Store!"
"Alright, host. You have currently obtained three Youthful Appearance Pills, two Snow Skin Pills, one Marrow Cleansing Pill, and one Immunity to All Poisons Pill. The daily storage fee is 7 points, and today's points have been deducted, leaving a balance of 109 points. Please actively complete tasks, host!"
"Got it! I owe you 7 points every day I close my eyes. The more rewards I collect, the more storage fees I pay. You're such a heartless capitalist!"
I wish it would get light soon, so I wouldn't have to suffer the arduous task of studying during the day, and I could just lie around like a pampered young master!
“Madam, the young master has been waking up earlier and earlier lately. Is this a bad thing? Didn’t Doctor Wang say before that children need to sleep more to grow well?”
"What time did you wake up today or tomorrow?"
"Waking up just past the hour of Yin (3-5 AM) is a bit too early."
"Let Cui'er go to Hechuntang and invite Doctor Wang to come and take a look at Ming'er."
"Yes, Madam, I will go and tell Cui'er right away."
East Courtyard
"Dr. Wang, I haven't had a good appetite these past few days, and my period hasn't come this month either. Do you think this is...?"
"Please wait a moment, madam, allow me to take your pulse first."
"Alright, alright, please go ahead."
"Hiss~ This is somewhat like a slippery pulse, but not very obvious. Either my medical skills are not good enough, or my aunt is still young."
"Well... you are the best doctor in Changshou Town, within dozens of miles. If you are not sure, who else can we trust?"
"Alright, I'll come back for a follow-up appointment in fifteen days."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. So, it's highly likely that I am...?"
"We'll make a decision in fifteen days. Don't be impatient, Aunt. Taking good care of your health is the most important thing. I won't prescribe any medicine this time. During this period, please pay attention to your diet and avoid cold foods."
"Yes, I'll do as you say. Magpie, please see Doctor Wang off for me."
Although she did not receive a definite answer, Aunt Pan could not hide her excitement, as if a big, fat son was waving to her.
Haha, she finally got what she'd been waiting for! She can finally surpass the West Wing! She can't compare to the mistress, but she can't compare to a lowly actress!
Pan Qiushuang was also a girl from a good family. Even if they were both concubines, she was a good concubine!
If she were to have a son in the future, she might ask her mother-in-law to elevate her to the status of a secondary wife. After all, both her mother-in-law and she were from the Pan family, and they would surely want the best for her.
Aunt Pan was lost in her fantasies, placing high hopes on a child who hadn't even been born yet.
"Dr. Wang? What are you doing here? My wife just sent me to Hechuntang to invite you."
"Oh? Is the lady unwell?"
"No, it's our young master who wants to take a pulse to check on his health, not that anyone is unwell."
"Oh, I see. Miss Cui'er, please lead the way."
Magpie hadn't expected that Doctor Wang would take on another job before she even left the gate, so she had no choice but to turn around and walk back.
"Why are you back so soon? I told you to send them out, but you were slacking off again."
"Auntie, you've wronged me. Before we even reached the main gate, Sister Cui'er invited Doctor Wang to the main courtyard, saying she was going to take the young master's pulse to check his health. I don't understand, if he's already well, what kind of pulse check is that?"
"Don't tell me you don't understand, I don't understand either. A baby drinking milk is more precious than anyone else."
"It's only because the Lin family has few sons that they seem so precious. If a few more young masters were added to the backyard, I think their preciousness would become pretentious."
"You brat, don't say that outside. It's fine in our courtyard, after all, he's still our only grandson."
"Yes, this servant knows her mistake. We certainly won't go around spreading rumors. We're just waiting for Aunt's good news!"
Aunt Pan was very pleased with the girl's understanding and subconsciously stroked her lower abdomen gently.
Main courtyard
"How is he? Doctor, is there anything wrong with my son?"
"Please don't worry, Madam. The young master is fine, he's just a little..."
"What is it? Doctor, you must tell me the truth."
“This child seems to get plenty of sleep. According to what you just said, the young master sleeps for less than four hours a day, which is a bit short for a child, but that doesn’t matter.”
"Judging from the young master's mental state, he does not appear listless. He is quite lively during the day. The only strange thing is the child's pulse."
"Strange? How so?"
"Judging from the child's pulse, it is strong and vigorous, full of energy, but there are also some subtle symptoms of overworking the brain. Strange! Very strange!"
"In my thirty years of medical practice, I have never diagnosed such a young infant with brain overuse. Usually, only scholars who have studied hard for years would do this."
"Huh? How could this be? This child does nothing but eat and sleep all day, and rarely even plays with toys. How could he be overworking his brain? You must be mistaken."
"Although I am not a great physician who saves the world, I still have medical ethics. How could I make things up? The pulse is as it is!"
"If you do not believe me, Madam, you may invite a renowned physician to examine you."
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that. Of course I believe you, it was just a bit of a surprise."
Lin Yueniang: The old doctor is about to blow his beard and glare, so let's not argue with him. As long as our child is healthy, that's enough. As for overworking our brains? That's just too absurd.
My son is not even a year old yet. Even if he's very smart, it can't be from memorizing books, right?!
Jiang Xiaoqi: I have to say, Mom, you're absolutely right! Your son is about to be killed by this damn system. If it weren't for the ear-piercing nagging if he doesn't memorize, he would have given up long ago. Who would want to be the King of Exams if they could just lie down?! Ah! Ah!
After seeing Doctor Wang off, Lin Yueniang remembered to ask Cui'er, "Did you invite the doctor from the main gate?"
Cui'er: "Yes, Madam. Doctor Wang was just escorted out of the east wing by Que'er, so I picked him up. I don't know if it's because Aunt Pan is sick."
"It's good if she's sick, but I'm afraid she's pregnant..." Granny Zhou thought to herself.
