Transmigrating as the Buddha-like Main Consort of a Power Minister

Chapter 48: Changing the Menu, Being Bold in Affection.

Early the next day, Xiao Qingming woke up with heavy dark circles under his eyes. Not only that, his arm was also numb.

Seeing that it was still early in the morning, Xiao Qingming carefully moved his arm without disturbing Ji Wan'er.

However, Ji Wan'er still woke up. She looked at the sky, sat up in bed, rubbed her eyes, and drowsily asked, "Why did you wake up so early? Do you want me to cook for you?"

Xiao Qingming glanced at her and saw her sleepy appearance. Her inner garment had slipped down at some point, revealing a bit of her fragrant shoulder.

Thinking about the sensation on his arm from last night, Xiao Qingming immediately blushed. He quickly averted his eyes and looked elsewhere.

"No... it's not necessary. There's food at the academy," he replied.

"Oh," Ji Wan'er nodded, unaware of Xiao Qingming's thoughts.

After tidying up, Xiao Qingming hurried to the academy, while Ji Wan'er went back to sleep for a while.

After waking up, she took Yun Shuang and Zi An to the market to buy groceries.

The shop still had discounts today, and there were even more customers than yesterday, with a few being returning customers.

From that day onwards, Xiao Qingming no longer stayed at the academy and came home every day.

In a few days, Xiao Qingming found a good teacher for Huaijing and also found a teacher for Zi An. Upon hearing that he was going to study, Zi An was thrilled. With his older brother around, he always thought that people who studied were amazing. He never thought he had the qualifications to study himself, but unexpectedly, this good fortune fell upon him.

Upon learning that her sister-in-law wanted to send her to learn a craft, Yun Shuang was incredibly grateful. She had never considered the idea of studying before because, in her eyes, women around her, except for her sister-in-law, never pursued education. She believed that studying was something for men.

But Ji Wan'er didn't think the same way.

On the day Zi An was sent to study, Ji Wan'er smiled and said, "Zi An, you must study well with your teacher and come back to teach your sister." She actually wanted to send Yun Shuang to study as well, but there was no place in the county for girls to study. Wealthy families would hire specialized teachers to educate their daughters.

They couldn't afford such a teacher.

However, in the future, when Xiao Qingming achieved the top scholar position and they went to the capital, they would be able to find such a teacher. For now, they could only let Yun Shuang learn alongside Zi An, and when Ji Wan'er wasn't busy, she could also teach Yun Shuang.

Zi An nodded solemnly, "Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll remember."

Ji Wan'er ruffled his hair and sent him off to study.

After Zi An and Yun Shuang left, Ji Wan'er didn't have time to feel lonely as she was occupied with matters in the shop. They would leave in the morning and return in the afternoon. After they came back, Zi An would do his homework, and Yun Shuang would help in the front of the shop. Once Zi An finished his homework, he would then teach Yun Shuang.

From the second day of opening, the number of customers in the shop kept increasing, and the revenue grew day by day. Sometimes it might only increase by a few coins compared to the previous day, but at least it was increasing.

After ten days of discounts, the prices of the dishes returned to their original rates.

Fortunately, the number of customers in the shop didn't decrease; it just didn't grow as fast as in the first few days.
