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

Jiang Xiaoqi, who was being targeted, was unaware that Aunt Pan, who lived far away in Changshou Village, actually wanted to take away the maid he had bought.

He still enforces the access control system, but he has raised the level of access control.

He considered himself, his grandfather, and his father together, and none of the three of them ever went out.

The main principle is to treat everyone equally and win people over with virtue.

The two, who had been confined for two months, couldn't say anything, since the young man had locked himself up as well.

And he was even more diligent than the two adults, not only completing his own tasks but also guiding them and answering their questions at any time.

Don't grandchildren/sons need to sleep? They get up earlier than chickens and go to bed later than dogs. Whenever Mingfei comes to the study, he has already been there for quite a while.

Alas, time waits for no one.

What do you mean, "Fifty-somethings are the prime of life"? How could your grandson say something like that?

Which grandfather in his fifties isn't enjoying his retirement, spending time with his grandchildren?

Sunzi Jiang Xiaoqi: Are you trying to trick me? (This is a direct refusal!)

After the main gate of the Jiang family was closed, only the side gate, which was opened when the servants went out to buy groceries, was opened.

The main gate was locked, and Lin Feng and Zhao Shengnan took turns keeping watch on the side gate, spending their free time teaching the servants martial arts.

The six bodyguards who came along also expressed their desire to learn, and Lin and Zhao were very generous, after all, they had worked together for several months and none of them were bad people.

Teaching ordinary but powerful techniques is fine, but exclusive martial arts manuals will definitely not be revealed.

Since the front yard needed a quiet place to prepare for the exam, they asked Jiang Xiaoqi to borrow the martial arts training ground in the back yard. Anyway, there were no female relatives in the back yard, so it would be a waste to leave it empty.

Jiang Xiaoqi has keen hearing, so she could hear the laughter and chatter of the twenty-odd people in the backyard, but it didn't affect her.

Of course, the more skilled his subordinates are, the better. If the six bodyguards are willing, he can also sign a contract with them, that is, a long-term 'labor contract'.

Unlike indenture or death contract, it can give people a certain degree of freedom and sign a flexible contract, which is very similar to a labor contract or service contract in later times.

Seeing his grandson lost in thought for the first time, Landlord Jiang watched him with interest for a while, but only for a short while before Jiang Xiaoqi started writing again.

Those who wanted to come and offer their congratulations these days have all been turned away at the door, of course, this does not include Lord Jiang Changqing.

Lord Jiang and his wife came to offer their congratulations that very day, bringing many writing brushes, inkstones, paper, inkstones, and examination materials. After giving them much encouragement, they reluctantly left.

He knew Jiang Xiaoqi's plan, so he naturally agreed, and didn't want to waste the three of them's precious time preparing for the exam.

After Jiang Changqing and his wife left, the Jiang family locked the gate, officially entering a period of seclusion.

"Yes, Father's article has made great progress. If he can continue to maintain this pace, he may have a chance of being accepted as an academician."

Grandpa's accuracy on the questions has improved significantly. He's no longer distracted by cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, or geese, and he's even applying the formulas quite well!

Jiang Xiaoqi showered them with praise, making the two elders blush with embarrassment.

"Haha, Mingfei is a great teacher. If someone else had explained this to me, I definitely wouldn't have understood it."

But this year is strange; why has the proportion of math problems increased?

This was something Jiang Xiaoqi learned from the teaching trends at the clan school. Many of the teachers at the clan school had some connections, so they naturally got wind of it.

The proportion of students studying mathematics can be seen from the previous monthly and quarterly exams at the clan school.

The arithmetic questions in the previous county examination were said to be the most difficult in recent years, which makes one wonder.

"Well, it's better to be prepared than not. I don't know if what I heard is true or not, but it's better to know than not. Even if we don't need it, we won't lose anything."

However, once you use it, it becomes the key to differentiating yourself from other test takers.

Essays, poems, and calligraphy of equal quality may or may not pass the exam; who gets the spot may depend on the accuracy of their final math problems.

"Yes, what my grandson says makes sense. It's just a little bit of work. Taking one hour out of the six hours each day for math is not a waste."

Jiang Wenqing was the complete opposite of the landlord Jiang; he was quite talented in mathematics, but his writing was indeed lacking.

The father and son complemented each other in this respect, and Jiang Xiaoqi was happy to have them occasionally guide each other and act as teachers to one another.

I took this opportunity to study the official gazette I bought from the system in more depth.

After integration, the system was passed on to the grandfather and father.

He was now able to glean some insights into the political situation of the court from various official reports, and had gained a preliminary understanding of the emperor sitting high in the ancestral temple.

He couldn't say he understood, but he had a general idea of ​​what kind of work style this top national leader had.

Whether one is decisive or indecisive, whether one prefers checks and balances or is autocratic, will eventually become clear after careful analysis.

All of the above can be said to be both true and false; this emperor was somewhat fickle.

In his youth, he expanded his territory and conquered new lands; now that he's middle-aged, he's seeking stability and fame.

Not wanting to leave a reputation for being warlike and cruel, even though he hadn't done anything wrong as the ruler of the country, some self-righteous white-robed prime ministers wouldn't miss the opportunity to criticize the emperor and gain a good reputation.

This year, the emperor is over forty, and his eldest son has come of age, but no crown prince has been appointed yet, which has led to frequent exchanges between the court and the emperor's court.

If this continues, something bad will happen.

Sigh, I hope my great-uncle won't get involved. He shouldn't, right? Consort Liu's child is not even a year old yet; at this age, it should be quite safe.

Everything settled down, and he grew up, perfectly avoiding conflict, living a carefree life as a wealthy prince.

Jiang Xiaoqi also realized that she was being somewhat idealistic. What if the emperor lived to a ripe old age? What if the emperor wanted to make his youngest son the crown prince?

Alas, he couldn't think about it. At that time, he felt that not only his great-uncle, but he himself was also trapped in this circle of power struggles.

Who's afraid of who? We'll meet force with force and water with earth, taking things one step at a time.

I was being a bit too pessimistic; I'm not even a scholar yet.

My grandfather could only pass the lowest level of the imperial examination, as he was getting old. But my father could still pass the lowest level if he was able to.

After all, he's not even forty yet. In later generations, he would be a pillar of society, so he must be ambitious.

Jiang Wenqing felt a chill run down his spine, sensing that someone was plotting against him. He looked up at his father, who was diligently working on his problems, and then at his son, who was engrossed in reading a book.

Well, it doesn't have to be just one of them.

I need a book rating! Please help this kid out! *kneeling*
