Even women who travel through time can become prime ministers and nobles.

Li Qinglan and Li Shuying looked at Sister Shi in surprise, their eyes filled with doubt. In their impression, most women were skilled in needlework, and it was quite unexpected that Sister Shi, as a young lady from a wealthy family, did not know this skill.

“That’s true, wealthy families have embroiderers who make clothes.” Li Shuying said softly, her voice carrying a hint of understanding.

Sister Shi smiled slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes. She had grown up in a convenient and comfortable environment, with no worries about food or clothing, and indeed had no opportunity to learn needlework. Moreover, her clothes were all bought ready-made, unless they were handmade by artisans for high-ranking officials and nobles, I didn't have that much money to have someone custom-make them.

“Sister Shi, we know how to make these clothes, we’ll do it,” Li Qinglan and Li Shuying said in unison. Their faces were beaming with enthusiasm, and their eyes shone with determination.

Shi looked at them gratefully, a warm feeling welling up inside her. She knew that her two younger sisters genuinely wanted to help her.

"Thank you for your hard work. Don't do it now. When we get to Qingyun Town tomorrow, we'll find an inn to stay at. You can take everyone's measurements then. It's not too late to make the clothes then."

“Brother Shen, Young Master Cui, how about I buy you a set of clothes after I sell the game? You don’t look like you’re used to wearing coarse cloth clothes.”

Shen Yanchu waved his hand, saying there was no need for that. We don't have any travel permits on us right now, and we'll have to figure out how to get them later.

"No need, you can decide for yourself. Young Master Cui and I don't mind."

Shi Wanxia nodded knowingly. These two guys had a lot of bad habits. Although they were down on their luck now, they still couldn't change some of their old habits.

The oxcart swayed and lurched along the dirt road, kicking up clouds of dust. At first, Shi Wanxia would peek out from behind the curtain, but after getting covered in dust, she stayed put in the oxcart. The oxcart wasn't big, and the space was a bit cramped. Except for Li Changyu, who sat outside by the cart frame, everyone else huddled in the small space, sitting cross-legged. Their legs soon went numb, so Shi Wanxia would move her legs and stretch her back from time to time.

"Sit properly and be more dignified," Shen Yanchu couldn't help but say, the girl's sitting posture was simply unbearable to look at.

"I'm sitting down, aren't I? My legs are just numb. Moving around is good for my health."

The others dared not move around because of Shen Yanchu's low mood, and the girl's occasional movements did indeed affect her temperament.

"Sit properly. Look at them, they don't behave like this." Shen Yanchu sat cross-legged upright, closing her eyes to rest. Cui Yu'an covered her mouth and chuckled. Shen Yanchu has been much more polite than me since she was little.

Shi Wanxia rolled her eyes, and after sitting cross-legged for less than a minute, she felt uncomfortable, so she arched her legs and leaned back in the carriage to doze off.

Li Changyu and the old man took turns driving the oxcart, speeding along without daring to stop for a moment. Li Changyu, young and strong, gripped the reins tightly, his gaze fixed firmly ahead. His arm muscles were taut, each crack of the whip carrying a force that urged the ox to quicken its pace. The old man sat beside him, occasionally offering pointers and imparting driving techniques and experience to Li Changyu.

The wheels rolled, kicking up a cloud of dust. The oxcart bumped and creaked along the rugged mountain road. The hearts of the passengers rose and fell with the swaying of the cart, eagerly anticipating their arrival in Qingyun Town to begin a new life.

Finally, at 7:45 AM, the oxcart slowly entered Qingyun Town. Relieved smiles appeared on everyone's tired faces; they had finally reached their destination. Li Changyu and the old man also breathed a sigh of relief.

Qingyun Town was bustling with activity, its streets lined with various stalls, and people coming and going, busy yet full of life. The old man led them to the town's only inn, and the group disembarked from the oxcart and began busily unloading their luggage and goods.

Qingyun Inn wasn't large, but it was clean. Shi Wanxia took out one tael of silver and gave it to the innkeeper. "Innkeeper, please give us four rooms and prepare some hot water to bring up."

The innkeeper accepted the silver with a smile and gestured to the waiter to take the distinguished guest to their room. "Yes, sir, I'll have it prepared and sent over right away."

The three men each had a room, while the four of us girls shared one. Luckily, there was a bed and a soft couch inside, enough for all four of us. The waiter brought up the bathtub and hot water and then left. We quickly washed up and went downstairs to eat.

Shen Yanchu and the others changed into slightly cleaner and tidier coarse cloth clothes—one white, one blue, and one gray. They had already ordered food and, seeing them come down, gestured for them to come and eat.

"Brother Shen, you've changed everything! Wow! So much delicious food! I won't be polite then. These buns are so delicious, sizzling with oil and oozing meat flavor." Shi Wanxia quickly sat down at the table. She was indeed a bit hungry and immediately started eating. The others suppressed their laughter and also began to eat.

"Qinghuan, this little steamed bun is delicious. Here, this one is delicious too!"

At the dinner table, Shi Wanxia kept putting delicious food on Qinghuan's plate, and they all ate until they were quite full. Shi Wanxia rubbed her stomach and sighed contentedly. "It's been so long since I've had so much good food. I'm so stuffed."

Cui Yu'an kept his head down, suppressing a laugh. This girl's eating habits were truly appalling, but such a bold and outspoken girl was indeed rare. He glanced at Shen Yanchu, whose face was dark, but remained silent.

Shi Wanxia inexplicably dared not look at Shen Yanchu. This guy's sister was so annoying with all the rules and regulations in Huazhong. She wanted to slip away quickly. She got up and grabbed Cui Yu'an. "Brother Shen, you guys go back to your rooms to rest for a while. We'll go and prepare the wild game we're going to sell."

Shi Wanxia dragged Cui Yu'an upstairs quickly, avoiding his eyes. The others covered their faces and chuckled softly; Young Master Shen still wanted Miss Shi to be more dignified and reserved. Li Changyu sensed the awkward atmosphere and also went upstairs to pack his things.

Shen Yanchu stared at her with eyes as cold as a deep pool for a long time. Very well, let's see how long you can hide. This girl's unconventional and rebellious nature is a disaster for her. This is not her hometown, and her lack of discretion makes her an easy target for those with ulterior motives.

Shi Wanxia led them, carrying the game and furs they had hunted, to the market the shopkeeper had mentioned. The market was bustling with people, and a dazzling array of small commodities lined both sides of the main street. Shops stood side-by-side, their cries of vendors and the sounds of bargaining filling the air.

The market was filled with a dazzling array of goods, including exquisite handicrafts, brightly colored fabrics, and delicious snacks. Shi Wanxia and her friends looked around curiously, soaking in the lively atmosphere. They walked along the street, stopping now and then to look at this and touch that.

At a stall, Shi Wanxia spotted some pretty ornaments. She picked up a hairpin and examined it closely. The stall owner enthusiastically introduced his wares, and Shi Wanxia was captivated by his eloquence. He was quite persuasive, but she didn't need jewelry right now. She already had Hanfu and some inexpensive jewelry at home, but she rarely wore them. Who would bother sticking so many things in their head every day?

"If you like it, just buy it. It's not expensive. You're a young lady, and you don't even comb your hair or wear any hair accessories." Cui Yu'an urged her to buy a few things. She had known this girl for so long, and she had never combed her hair properly. All she ever did was either tie her hair up or braid it into a side braid.

Shi Wanxia rolled her eyes at him and pulled him away from the stall. "We don't have much money right now, and besides, isn't this fine? You're awake, let's go!"

Next, they came to a stall selling wild game. The stall owner's eyes lit up when he saw the game in their hands, and he immediately began praising their prey. Shi Wanxia's eyes lit up; this wasn't a bad option, but after dealing with the stall owner, she decided to check out a restaurant first.
