Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect

After separating from the others, Gu Qi and her family of three went to a noodle shop and had breakfast.

My belly was full of rice, bulging.

Then I went to the bookstore.

On the way, Gu Qi said that she would study hard and not let down her mother and father who had worked so hard for her, and that she would get first place in the exam.

Li Ling patted the head of little Aqi, who loved to say sweet words, and deliberately asked, "Do you want to recite for your mother?"

I didn't tell her, but I told Aunt Feng.

Yes, after learning that Madam Feng had a son who was a scholar, Madam Feng's status in her heart had changed to that of a close aunt.

Gu Qi replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, if not Mother, then who should carry her?"

She glanced at her father beside her again: "Mother and Father, you are the people I love most."

Gu Sanhe smiled modestly; that's just how well-liked his father was.

Li Ling listened to the comforting words, pinched her daughter's cheek, and didn't say anything more.

Half an hour later.

The family of three came out of the bookstore again, with the basket on Gu Sanhe's back containing the things they had just bought.

Two rabbit-hair brushes and two sticks of coarse pine ink—these were inks Gu Qi specifically requested; her mother and father wanted to buy better ones.

She didn't agree to the 105-coin pine soot ink offer, and only bought the 30-coin coarse pine ink instead.

Gu Qi considered her family's situation and the fact that she was a beginner, so there was no need for her to use expensive things. She mentally gave herself a thumbs up for being thrifty.

She's amazing.

In addition, there were five sheets of coarse hemp paper, totaling one hundred sheets, costing one hundred and seventy-five coins.

A simple inkstone made of coarse stone costs fifty coins.

Gu Qi sighed sincerely, "Studying is really expensive, but the more expensive something is, the more valuable it must be."

She will definitely make good use of it and study it well.

As they walked, Gu Qi and the other two arrived at Sweet Mouth Alley. Gu Sanhe was carrying two bluefish, each weighing two pounds.

Li Ling was holding a box of dried fruit and a small jar of honey.

I'd like to ask someone why they can't give a thank-you gift, especially since they've just met and the other person has been so kind to Aqi.

Li Ling and Gu Sanhe were not ignorant of etiquette.

After knocking on the door, Gu Qi went inside and saw that the blue bricks and black tiles seemed different from the other houses in the alley.

Knowing that the person had just returned home and needed to rest, Li Ling quickly put down her things and said, "I'll come to see you again another day."

They left in a hurry.

Yao Wen heard her mother saying that parents should know proper etiquette. It was one thing for her to like Aqi, but as an adult, knowing proper etiquette would earn her respect.

Even if they didn't give her anything, Feng Yao wouldn't say anything, but if they did, her favorability towards them would increase.

The rise in status is not due to the value of the gift, but because they know how to be grateful.

"When Aqi comes to ask for advice, you should teach her properly." Feng Yao was also tired, so after saying that, she went straight into the house to rest.

Yao Wen glanced at his wife and asked curiously, "How did that girl named Aqi meet your mother?" Was it at a temple? His mother is a Buddhist.

The young woman told him how they met on the road.

Yao Wen frowned, finding it all quite unbelievable. Although his mother wasn't mean-spirited, she wasn't exactly kind-hearted either.

Was it simply fate? Or did it catch my eye?

"I know a really nice aunt; it's such a coincidence."

As soon as Gu Qi returned, she ran to the apartment across the hall to share with Gu Lan about a new person she had met.

Gu Lan listened, nodding occasionally; she also had something to say to Aqi.

"Aqi, what do you think about me going to a private school for two years?" Her expression was hesitant and a little confused, unsure if her idea was right.

Gu Qi: "Of course!"

She reached out and took Gu Lan's hand: "Sister Lan, you understand some principles, but you also need to study the principles in books to truly understand them."

Yes, Gu Lan felt that what she understood were all modern principles and rules, and she had not yet come to know anything about the ancient times.

Moreover, she had another plan. She learned how to make money from books, and it sounded more reliable than her natural abilities.

We can't let her mother test us again.

"Yes, you're right. I'll talk to my family tonight." As for his family's disagreement...

Gu Lan had never thought of that.

All the money her family has earned and saved over the past year came from her secret pastry recipe.

She should be the first to use it.

Gu Qi was delighted: "We can go to school together now!"

"Um."

Gu Lan was also happy.

However, Gu Dalang and Gu Qing were unhappy when they returned home. Yesterday, they had already learned from their parents that their younger sister, Aqi, was also going to a private school.

Besides his tuition, the public funds didn't cover all his expenses; his family had to contribute 30%.

Gu Qing was unconvinced. No girls in the whole village went to the private school, and even many boys couldn't go.

Why did she insist on going?

As soon as Gu Qi entered the door, she saw her eldest cousin, nine-year-old Gu Qing, who always put her first.

"Gu Qi, you're not virtuous; no one will marry you when you grow up."

"If you insist on going to a private school, I won't care about you anymore."

These are the two most effective phrases Gu Qing has ever heard used on the girls in the village; as long as they are said, the girls will back down.

Gu Qi was in a good mood, but her good mood was suddenly interrupted when she showed Gu Qing her fist.

"Apologize, or I'll beat you up."

Gu Qing subconsciously took a step back, but Gu Qi had never laid a hand on him before, and coupled with his anger, he suddenly became bolder: "You dare?"

"You're just unwanted..."

The next second, Gu Qi ran up and punched him in the stomach.

Gu Qing bent over, clutching her stomach and crying out loudly.

Gu Dajiang and Shen Yun then came out of the house. Shen Yun ran towards Gu Qing, while Gu Dajiang looked at Gu Qi with disgust.

"You actually dared to hit your older brother, Gu Qi! I think you really have no manners. I'm going to beat you up in your father's place."

Gu Sanhe and Li Ling went to Gu Yunshang's house and bought some gifts for Gu Qi's future teacher.

Gu Dajiang only dared to make a move because the two of them weren't home.

"You dare?"

Gu Qi clenched her fists; she didn't think that just because her uncle was her uncle, he couldn't be beaten.

"See if I dare! You're unruly because no one taught you. I'll teach you a lesson for the Gu family." As he spoke, Gu Dajiang walked over and beat Aqi up.

Gu Qi also decided to beat up her uncle.

However, there were other people in the Gu family. Gu Mai came out of the house and looked at Gu Dajiang's posture.

He shouted, "Boss!"

Gu Dajiang turned around and saw his mother's angry face. He turned his head away, pretending not to see it, and said, "I'll teach her manners."

"If she dares to hit her eldest brother today, she might dare to hit her elders tomorrow."

"Mother, I'm doing this for her own good."

Gu Qi was also ready to charge forward. She was just as strong as her uncle, though she was small, but she was fast.

Gu Mai watched helplessly as her boss disobeyed her and actually went to hit Gu Qi. She could only run over to stop him.

He cursed Gu Dajiang in his heart, calling him a stupid idiot.
