Transmigrating To Ancient Times With A Kitchen

Mother Jian’s heart ached as she pulled him into her embrace and comforted him, “Be good, don’t cry.”

Jian Qingqing knew that some children were too young to feel safe without their loved ones, and some of them might even have psychological problems. Xiao Ye was only six years old, and he would only be in the first grade now. Going to the Prefectural Academy now was equivalent to going to boarding school in the first grade, it would not be good for the child’s body and mind in the long run.

She said hesitantly, “Why don’t we go when we’re older? It’s not bad to study in the county now.”

!!

Xiao Ye came out of Mother Jian’s arms and shook his head firmly, “No, I want to go. Teacher said that the students in the prefectural school are all very powerful. The teachers there are also very powerful and have a lot of books. I also want to go and see what the prefectural school is like.”

There was one more thing he did not mention. The chances of going to the Prefectural Academy to become an examiner were greater. He wanted to become an examiner earlier so that he could protect his family.

Alright then. It was a good thing for the child to be ambitious. “That’s fine too. I’ll accompany you to take a look tomorrow. If you’re really not used to it, we’ll come back. I think Mr. Liang has taught you well. Take your time with your studies. You’re still young. There’s no rush.”

Old Man Jian also said, “Xiao Ye, then do as your sister says. If it doesn’t work, you can come back. There’s no rush.”

Xiao ye nodded.

Jian Qingqing asked, “Grandfather, Father, Mother, are you going tomorrow?”

Before they could say anything, Xiao Lang rushed to answer, “I’ll go, I’ll go!”

He had not been to the city yet, but he heard from his big brother in the county office that it was very fun there.

Jian Dalang patted him. “Go where?! You still have to go practice martial arts!”

Jian Qingqing also said, “You’re not going to practice martial arts? Then your Big Brother Ming might not be happy.”

Xiao Lang made an ‘Oh’ sound, feeling wronged.

Old Man Jian said, “We won’t go. You can accompany Little Ye. Stay there with him for a few days and wait for him to get used to it before coming back.”

Jian Qingqing was independent and bold, so they were not worried about her. If they were allowed to go, they might not even dare to go by themselves. They did not even know the road.

The next morning, Jian Qingqing brought Xiao Ye and the packed luggage onto the ox-cart.

Xiao Hu, Xiao Lang, and Jian Rong also hitched a ride.

Jian Rong went to school with them every morning.

Jian Qingqing saw that they had squeezed in and said, “Then you’ll walk back tonight?”

Only then did the three of them think of this. However, they really did not want to let go of the opportunity for the five of them to ride together. They hesitated and said, “That’s fine too.”

If they had no problems, Jian Qingqing would have no problems. She drove the ox-cart to the county town and only went to Cairo after dropping them off at the county town.

It took them more than four hours to get there. When they arrived there, it was almost time for lunch (around four o’clock in the afternoon). They ate lunch on the way. Jian Qingqing looked for an inn to check in and prepared to report back the next day.

The inn was the largest inn in Cairo City, so it was safe to go out.

After putting down their luggage, the two of them went down to eat.

“Waiter, give us your signature dishes! Not too much, just two dishes.” There were only two of them, and they were both children, so they could not finish the dishes even if they ordered too much.

“Okay!”

The waiter quickly ran out of the kitchen and ordered the dishes. In about 15 minutes, two dishes were served, one was steamed mandarin fish, and the other was braised pork.

The waiter saw that the two siblings were very young and asked casually, “Dear guests, are you here to visit Cairo Citry? I know where the scenery here is the best. Dear guests, do you need my recommendation?”

Jian Qingqing shook her head and said, “I’m here to send my brother to the Prefectural Academy.”
