Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect

The next day, early in the morning.

Gu Mai took out the tuition money, and Gu Sanhe and Li Ling took the copper coins directly into their hands and put them into their own money box.

The two of them already taught the tuition yesterday.

The two parties agreed that Gu Qi would go to the private school again in three days.

After putting away the coins, the family of three skipped breakfast and took an oxcart to Xingcheng, the county town, early in the morning.

Gu Qi skipped and waved to Gu Lan across the street; she was going to the county town to buy things.

He even asked Gu Lan if she wanted anything to bring.

Gu Lan did not.

She waved goodbye to her parents, who were heading to town to sell pastries. In the past, she would have gone with them.

Gu Lan thought about it all night yesterday. She is only a nine-year-old child and doesn't need to support all the family affairs.

Her mother and father aren't brainless; she can let go now.

Moreover, she had something else planned.

"Mother, come back early today, I have something to tell you."

Chunniang didn't understand, but she nodded anyway: "Okay, we'll be back an hour and a half earlier."

Gu Lan's father nodded in agreement.

He carried two baskets on his shoulders, yet walked as if nothing was wrong.

"How about I help you carry it?" Chunniang felt embarrassed, as her family's stools and tables were located in town.

Right now, she only had a purse, four cakes, and two bamboo water bottles on her.

Gu Lan's father shook his head: "No need, I have the strength. You can rest your mind and you'll be busy when it's time to sell."

His arithmetic skills are no match for his child's mother.

My daughter isn't here again.

Chunniang thought about it and realized that made sense. She would be the one to use her brain and physical strength later, so she wouldn't rush to do it.

Looking at the basket and thinking about the pastries inside, Chunniang sighed, "Our daughter is really clever."

He's smarter than everyone in his family.

Having strong endorsements can also make you money.

"I had suspected that my daughter was possessed, but after testing her, I found that it really was my daughter." Her daughter knew about the past between her and her daughter.

And they've maintained all their little habits.

"Yes, it's our daughter."

Gu Lan's father paused for a moment and then said, "I hope Shi Tou can be as smart as his sister."

"He can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar."

With an income now at home, they decided to send Shi Tou, who loves reading, back to the private school.

The sun was high in the sky, the wind was blowing, the dirt road was under their feet, and the people in the middle of the road had happy smiles on their faces.

"Dad, are the bookstores in the county town big?"

Gu Qi and the other two also boarded the oxcart. She opened her eyes, looked around, and asked questions curiously.

"It's bigger, and there are more books inside than in town, and more kinds of pens too."

Yesterday, Gu Sanhe asked Gu Yunshang, the teacher, and said that her daughter, Aqi, could learn to hold a pen and draw characters.

As for practicing calligraphy with copybooks, it's not too late to wait a year.

"Oh, then I want to buy a nice pen."

"it is good."

Gu Qi leaned against her mother's chest, the wind blowing through her hair, and smiled happily.

"Sanhe, so the news that you sent your child to school was true?" The owner of the oxcart, who was cracking his whip, immediately turned around and asked upon hearing this.

Similarly, the two women from the town, a man from a neighboring village, and a woman from their own village all looked at the family of three.

Gu Sanhe: "It's true, Uncle."

The owner of the oxcart was also surnamed Gu. According to seniority, Gu Qi should call him Uncle, since he was the second child in his family.

For now, we'll call him Second Uncle Gu.

Grandpa Gu clicked his tongue and looked at Gu Qi. This child is really lucky.

He had seen families who outwardly doted on their daughters, and families who genuinely cared for their daughters, but he had never seen a family that cared so much that they sent their daughters to private schools.

Now I've finally met him.

Gu Qi looked up and met the gaze of her second uncle, Gu Er. She asked, "Uncle, why are you looking at me?"

The little girl's round eyes were full of confusion, but she dared to ask and speak her mind.

Uncle Gu turned around and said with a smile, "Look at you... don't you look like a scholar?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qi immediately got out of her mother's arms, sat up straight, and sucked in her stomach.

Show it to others properly.

Everyone on the bus, including Li Ling, lowered their heads and smiled with pursed lips.

The child, with a round head and delicate features, looked like a little fairy boy beside a Bodhisattva, and also had a clever air about him.

Everyone who sees this child says that he is really adorable.

Gu Mai didn't say a word on behalf of the eldest son's family because she was curious about it, and she didn't handle Gu Sanhe's request fairly and justly.

You should know that at this time, people tend to favor the eldest son and grandson.

Her fairness is another kind of hidden bias.

Uncle Gu said, "It's just like her, so much like her." If he hadn't been holding a riding whip, he would have given her a thumbs up.

Gu Qi smiled happily upon receiving the praise; she was just that kind of wonderful person.

The village women looked at Li Ling with envy: "Sister Li, you've raised Aqi so well."

She doesn't have children yet, and she thinks it would be wonderful if she had children like Aqi.

Li Ling smiled and said a few words of modesty.

Gu Qi had already received the food; two women from the town were carrying a basket, one of whom was older.

Take out a piece of oil-sugar cake; the cake is wrapped in a piece of wax paper.

She smiled kindly and said, "Here, have some."

The young woman's eyes flickered; she looked at her mother-in-law, then at the unfamiliar child.

Gu Qi looked at her mother. She hadn't eaten breakfast; her stomach had growled earlier, and her grandmother had heard it.

Li Ling glanced at the woman and noticed that her inner garment was made of silk, and that she genuinely wanted to give it to her.

So he nodded.

As Gu Qi took the food, she thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Auntie. When we get to the county town, I'll ask my dad to buy you some good food too."

The woman called "Auntie" laughed; she was quite old.

"You can't call me 'Auntie,' you should call me 'Grandma.'"

Li Ling watched with a smile, glancing at Gu Sanhe every now and then; her Aqi was just so sweet-talking.

"Grandma? But you don't look like Grandma."

"Haha, then you can only call her Grandma."

Gu Qi looked perfectly fine as she ate the pastries, finding them even tastier than the ones she bought from the pastry shop.

After she finished one, the woman handed her another.

Gu Qi took another bite and found that the taste was almost the same as before, except for the size.

"Did Grandma make these cakes? They're so delicious, even better than the ones in the shop."

A hint of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes; the child was even smarter than she had imagined.

For a time, they went back and forth.

Those who don't know the situation might mistake these two for a grandfather and grandson.

Li Ling wanted to reach out and ask, "Aqi, do you still remember the mother who brought you here?"

Fortunately, we arrived in Xing County.

They are going to separate.

The woman was also greeted by a man dressed as a scholar, who addressed the older woman as "mother."

The older woman introduced herself to Gu Qi: "My surname is Feng, and my family lives in the third house in Tiankou Alley."

"Grandma welcomes you anytime, little Aqi."

Gu Qi jumped down as well, looked up and said, "Okay, I'll go see Grandma Feng."

"Alright, alright." Grandma Feng's kindness was evident to the naked eye, but the man next to her was quite surprised, as his mother was not such an easy person to talk to.

This is not the end.

Grandma Feng pulled her son aside and said, "Qi, your uncle is quite knowledgeable."

That's an understatement; a scholar in his early twenties is considered a talent in the county town.

"If you don't know, you can ask him."

Gu Qi's eyes lit up again, and she answered loudly, "Okay, thank you, Grandma Feng. After I can recite the text, I will recite it for Grandma Feng."

As the spring breeze blew by, Feng Yao felt that the little boy in front of her was perfect in every way, and he was deeply loved by her.

He even recited it to her specifically; that shows how much he likes her.

"Okay, Grandma Feng will make you your favorite pastries too."

Gu Qi stepped forward affectionately, put her arm around Feng Yao's leg, and loudly declared again, "I like Grandma Feng."

At the same time, three other people felt a pang of sadness.

Li Ling, Gu Sanhe, and Feng Yao's son Yao Wen.

The three of them thought to themselves: It's time to take our daughters/mothers and go.
