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

Chapter 324 Departure, Autumn Examination in Xuanzhong Prefecture

There are only seven days left until the provincial examination begins. Xinghe Prefecture is right next to Xuanzhong Prefecture, only two or three days' journey away.

Jiang Xiaoqi finished his intensive pre-exam training for his cousins ​​and also got the three of them back to a fairly good health.

At least people won't easily catch a cold or get an upset stomach during the provincial examinations.

In total, Jiang Xiaoqi consumed three Body Strengthening Pills and one Brain Strengthening Pill. All three of them were young and there was no need for excessive supplementation.

It's not that Jiang Xiaoqi is stingy; they're already allies bound to his affiliated system, so he's willing to make this small initial investment.

Compared to the benefits that follow, the pills obtained by exchanging 200 points are really not worth mentioning.

He now earns over five figures in interest every month just from the points bank, and it keeps increasing.

The dog system has also benefited greatly from its connection with its host, and has recently become much more proactive in helping to find new questions for the provincial examinations.

As usual, I put most of the necessary items into the external space, and then put the safety buckle from the external space into my own expanded internal space.

This nested approach had become Jiang Xiaoqi's routine, little did he know that the cart he brought back from the south only carried one or two-tenths of his goods.

The essential oils and floral dews that he extracted in the space at night were also stored there, in quantities ten times that of the escort team.

After leaving the South, there was a lack of raw materials, and we were busy preparing for the provincial examinations, so the distillation and extraction devices in the space have been idle recently.

After the provincial examination, we can look for flowers in the north. If we can find a suitable place to build a flower nursery, that would be nice.

I'll write to my mother then and ask her what she wants, whether she wants to stay in the south or come back.

"Young master, the carriages are ready, and the luggage of the young masters in the clan has been packed. We can set off at any time."

"Okay, load my suitcase into the car too, let's set off immediately."

After giving the instructions, Jiang Xiaoqi felt as if she had forgotten something, so she checked the things she had brought again.

Writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, oilcloth, bamboo tubes, bedding, clothing, spare herbs, insect repellent spices, rice paste, flour paste, sesame paste, osmanthus lotus root starch, and oil tea noodles—it's quite complete; nothing's missing!

Could it be that I'm getting nervous because the provincial examination is approaching?

Impossible. There must be something I forgot, but I just couldn't remember it right now.

Even after getting into the carriage, Jiang Xiaoqi couldn't recall what he had forgotten.

They were stopped by the Yun family's carriage just as they approached the city gate.

Ah~ I forgot about Yun Muze, a living, breathing person! Thank goodness, it wasn't something I forgot for the exam.

Jiang Xiaoqi adjusted her expression, lifted the carriage curtain, and looked apologetic.

"I'm sorry, Brother Yun, I was probably too nervous and forgot that you were coming along. I'm really sorry."

Jiang Xiaoqi spoke sincerely and looked guilty. Because of her good looks, it was hard for anyone to feel any ill will towards her.

Now, with a soft apology, Yun Muze's anger and fury were completely extinguished, and he couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh.

"It's alright. Brother Jiang was so focused on preparing for the exam that he neglected things. I still made it in time, so Brother Jiang won't abandon me again, will he?"

Yun Muze spoke as if she were a young woman afraid of being abandoned by her husband, her words carrying a hint of resentment.

Jiang Xiaoqi got goosebumps all over her body instantly and shuddered inwardly: "Of course not, we agreed to go together!"

After saying that, he immediately lowered the carriage curtain and instructed Li Shan to drive the carriage.

Jiang Lin and his companions, whose carriages were behind, also poked their heads out when they heard someone stopping the carriage.

"This is... a classmate from our Jiang clan school? I don't remember him at all."

"Brother Jiang Lin, isn't this normal? It's normal for things to change a lot in six or seven years. Look at Mingfei, he's changed a lot in the last few years, hasn't he?"

Jiang Lin nodded, then shook his head: "Ming Fei hasn't changed his appearance, he's changed his height. Even if we haven't seen each other for several years, I will definitely recognize him."

Jiang Xiaoqi had taken the Youth Preservation Pill twice when he was a child, but he hasn't taken it again in recent years, nor has he exchanged it with the system. Instead, he has used the Brain Enhancement Pill and Body Strengthening Pill more often.

However, it seems that the two times he ate it when he was a child did have an effect on the development of his facial features.

It wasn't as alarming as having a baby face, but the baby fat on her cheeks hadn't faded in the past few years.

I wonder when he will transform into a male lead with sharp, angular features, like a knife-cut axe.

In terms of height, he has grown very quickly in the past two years. At the age of thirteen, his height is already catching up with that of Jiang Yan, who is quite tall.

Five feet and five inches is equivalent to 1.75 meters in later times. At this rate, he could probably continue to grow taller, and reaching 1.85 meters is not impossible.

Another difference is their voices. Jiang Lin and the other two have all changed their voices, except for Jiang Xiaoqi, who hasn't changed his voice yet.

Although Jiang Hao's current hoarse voice isn't very pleasant, every teenager has to go through this process.

Jiang Lin and Jiang Yan, who have already finished changing their voices, have almost completely shed their youthful immaturity and are gradually entering the ranks of young adults.

The Jiang family members were all good-looking, and their scholarly demeanor added to their appeal. Jiang Lin and Jiang Yan were both well-proportioned and handsome.

In comparison, Jiang Hao still retains a bit of his childishness.

Jiang Xiaoqi's childlike nature is more evident in her face. Even though she is not short, her broad shoulders and narrow waist can be quite intimidating.

If someone were to see him here now, they might praise him as a handsome young man, but they would definitely not mistake him for a woman.

After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty was not a barbarian state, and there were very few women who were over five feet tall.

After Jiang Xiaoqi lowered the carriage curtain, he took out the jade flute he always carried with him.

In the last two days, he has become engrossed in playing the wind instrument again. After all, he has mastered the eighteen forms of the long spear to a very high level, and he needs to find some other form of entertainment.

He reads books at night, and these days there aren't many rare or classic books that attract him, but he has read quite a few sheet music.

As the carriages and horses left the city, the melodious sound of a flute drifted into everyone's ears on the wind. When the music ended, everyone remained in a daze for a long time.

"I never expected that Mingfei could play the flute. With such a heavy workload every day, how did he find time to practice his music?"

"Could it be that he has several times more time than us?" Jiang Lin wondered.

"He practiced whenever he had a spare moment. One day, I got up a little early at the house in Xinghe Prefecture and saw Mingfei practicing his spear for a long time in the open space. It was still dark then."

Jiang Yan didn't say that she saw it because she had an upset stomach in the middle of the night; she only said that she got up early.

"Sigh, it's true what they say, comparisons are odious. She's well-read, diligently practices martial arts, and now she's even accomplished in music—she's leaving no room for anyone else!"

Jiang Hao spoke in a hoarse voice, putting on a listless and lifeless expression.

"Alright! Stop acting strangely! We should learn from the virtuous. Having brothers like these in our clan is a blessing for us all!"
