Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Pampering My Little Husband

"What a nuisance, interrupting her meal," Han Zixuan thought, growing impatient with the steward.

Without lingering any longer, she turned and left! The manager saw that Han Zixuan hadn't paid any money but had left directly.

With a look of disdain, he said, "Tch, you want to get into Zhiyuan Academy without money? Studying and taking the imperial examinations? What a pipe dream!"

Han Zixuan hadn't gone far, so she naturally heard everything!

But she didn't argue with the manager, since there was no need to waste time on such a person.

He left gracefully and turned to Mingjing Hall, which was located on East Street, a bit far from the bustling city center!

There are two large willow trees in front of Mingjing Hall, and the gate is very quiet and simple!

With the door tightly shut, Han Zixuan stepped forward in confusion and scratched at the door a few times!

"Boom!"

A young girl came out from outside the door. "Excuse me, who is this?"

Han Zixuan obediently gave her name! "My surname is Han, and I have come to Mingjing Hall to study!"

The wooden door opened from the inside, and a girl of about eight or nine years old poked her head out.

Her round head was adorned with two small buns. Her dark eyes sized Han Zixuan up and down.

"You want to enter the Mingjing Hall?" The tone was childish but serious.

Han Zixuan nodded, "Yes, I want to study at your esteemed academy!"

The girl nodded. "Do you know the rules of the Mingjing Hall?"

"I understand, they said they need to conduct a test!"

"Yes, if they don't pass the test, our Mingjing Hall won't accept them!"

"Wait here, I'll go get the test questions the teacher gave you, then you can do them!"

As he spoke, he jogged into the gate. Han Zixuan was taken aback, but saw a stone table and benches under Liu Shu and sat down to wait.

A moment later, the girl brought out the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on a tray.

He placed it on the stone table, saying, "You may answer the questions here!"

As he spoke, he sat down to the side and stared intently at Han Zixuan!

Is this what they call entrance exam proctoring?

He then picked up the test paper, which contained sentences from the Analects and the Book of Songs, explaining their sources and meanings.

These questions were simple and didn't stump Han Zixuan, but the two questions on the next sheet of paper gave her a headache.

What countermeasures should be taken in the event of a river breaching its banks? How can grain production be increased?

"Do we have to write all of these?" She could understand the earlier questions, as they were meant to test the students' learning progress and level.

She really didn't understand the last two questions; they seemed a bit beyond the scope of the curriculum.

Shouldn't solving these two problems be the responsibility of some officials and ministers?

How could it possibly be related to her entrance exam?

The girl nodded, "Yes."

Seeing the girl's affirmative gaze, Han Zixuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and start writing.

I had barely finished writing the first page when a little girl complained, "Your handwriting is even worse than mine!"

Even her little pageboy's handwriting is neater than this older sister's.

Han Zixuan didn't have time to answer; she was scratching her head, thinking about the remaining two questions.

These two questions weren't too difficult for her, given the rapid development of modern technology.

There are many ways to deal with a situation where a river breaches its banks.

However, some of these methods are not applicable to ancient times. After thinking for a moment, Han Zixuan summarized some of them.

Slowly, I put pen to paper, reinforcing the dam.

Reinforcing dikes: Constructing or reinforcing dikes using materials such as earth, stone, and wood. For example, compacting soil to make the dike more robust.

You can also build a retaining wall with stones on the outer layer of the dam to resist the erosion of the water flow.

Dredging waterways: Regularly remove silt and debris from waterways to allow water to flow smoothly.

You can also set up simple water level markers along the riverbank and assign someone to observe water level changes.

If there are any abnormal water levels, they can be detected early.

Furthermore, in the event of flooding, flood diversion areas and flood barriers can be constructed.

Establishing flood diversion areas at appropriate locations along the river allows floodwaters to be guided into these areas when floods occur, thus reducing pressure on the main channel.

At the same time, diverting floodwaters through the diversion channel greatly mitigated the damage caused by floods. (Search)

.........

Han Zixuan wrote two or three kinds of articles in great detail.

Let's move on to the next question: How to increase grain production.

Improvements in farming techniques, what crops to plant in what areas, or water conservancy.

Using fertilizers, selecting superior grain varieties, etc... Han Zixuan wrote down everything she could think of.

While everyone was engrossed in writing, another room in the academy was bustling with activity.

"I clearly remember that the teacher left the assignment here a few days ago!"

Why can't we find it now?

A middle-aged woman around thirty years old wore a light blue cotton robe with a plain-colored long skirt underneath.

Wearing a cloth headband of the same color, she searched back and forth in the room.

A tall, slender woman stood to the side, also dressed in a cotton dress.

"Senior Sister Mo Yan, don't worry, think carefully about where you put yourself!"

Why don't I search with you?

"No need, no need, Yongqing, I'm sure I put it on the table!"

"Let me go ask my husband if he can clean my desk today!"

Lin Moyan hurried to the backyard and anxiously asked her husband.

In the backyard, Lin Moyan's husbands were chatting together.

Lin Moyan suddenly entered and asked, "Has anyone been to my room today?"

Upon seeing his wife's anxious expression, the physician Qin immediately perked up.

"My lady, no one went to clean the front yard today. Could something have happened?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Moyan sighed and said, "Alas, an important letter is missing from the room!"

Qin was startled, and they dared not touch anything in the wife's room.

Not to mention important things like letters and books, she turned to look at her other husbands behind her.

"Has anyone been to the mistress's room?"

All the husbands shook their heads, and then one of them spoke up.

"When I first arrived, I saw Xiaolian carrying a tray out!"

"I wonder if it is..."

Xiao Lian was Lin Moyan's adopted pageboy. Lin Moyan frowned and walked quickly toward the door.

Zhang Yongqing quickly followed, and before they even reached the gate, they saw Xiaolian carrying a tray and walking back.

They happened to run into Lin Moyan and the others, and bowed respectfully. "Master Lin, Master Zhang!"

Lin Moyan hurriedly and anxiously asked, "Alright, Xiaolian, did you see the papers I had on my desk this morning?"

"Are you referring to the entrance exam questions, Master?"

The entrance exam questions had always been on Lin Moyan's desk.

That's why she went to get it, isn't that right?

When Lin Moyan heard the test questions, she thought about it for a moment and realized that she had accidentally put the two together!

He then frowned. "There are two in total, one is a test question and the other is my letter!"

Xiao Lian was shocked and her face turned pale. She didn't notice that she had given both sheets of paper to the student to write on!

He hurriedly placed the tray on the ground and then knelt down and kowtowed.

"Master, please forgive me... Just now, a girl wanted to enroll in the Mingjing Hall."

So this servant took the test questions, thinking...thinking both sheets were test questions, and just gave them to that woman to do!

After saying that, he held the full sheet of paper above his head, feeling extremely uneasy.

Lin Moyan's face darkened as he took the paper, while Zhang Yongqing, smiling, broke the tense atmosphere.

"Senior Sister Mo Yan, it's good that you found it. As long as you can still read the words on it, that's fine."

Lin Moyan's expression softened considerably, though his face remained stern.

"Never be so reckless and careless again! Let it go for today, but write twenty large characters and send them over in three days!"

Xiao Lian breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked her!

"Thank you, Master!"
