Chapter 254: Why?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The next day, they found out that they were too shallow to think so.
Han Chi got up very early. He brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth before feeding his horse. He then led Hei Yun to run beside him. There were two sandbags tied to his ankles. They heard that it weighed 10 pounds on each ankle.
Not only did he run, but he also climbed over walls.
He easily climbed over the wall that was as tall as two people, and the sound of his landing was very soft.
“My god! Even a 20-pound sandbag would make a loud bang when it hits the ground!”
After that, he had to practice with knives, spears and sticks twice before he went to clean up and eat.
The new boys would think that was the end of it.
But they were wrong.
Next, he had to start studying. He was very serious about reading and did not allow anyone to disturb him. Even He Cheng sat far away and would not disturb him.
During lunch, he would visit his brother, Ah-Yao.
After accompanying Ah-Yao for half an hour, he would sleep with Ah-Yao and Cheng’er for an hour in the main courtyard.
An hour later, he had to practice martial arts again and then went to receive one-on-one guidance from the Headmaster.
After dinner, he still had to practice martial arts, take care of his horse, and recite what he had learned after his bath.
It was because Han Chi was going to take the examination next spring.
Therefore, he worked especially hard.
Han Dacheng and the others were sitting in the courtyard.
It was only at this moment that they realized that they were not as good as Han Chi.
Whether it was enduring hardship, perseverance, or courage.
Han Chi rode Hei Yun back and forth on the horse track. He was so young, but he looked so majestic.
His eyes were filled with sharpness and confidence.
“We have to work hard too.” Han Dacheng said.
They had just learned how to ride a horse today, and their legs hurt a lot.
They were a little discouraged, but they did not dare to relax at this moment.
Meanwhile…
Heng Yi’s kick had ruptured Sun Yiming’s spleen.
Fortunately, Heng Yi had restrained his strength. If he had killed Sun Yiming, he would have died long ago.
It was already two days later when Xiao Cui arrived at Ji Min Hall with a big belly.
“Master.” Xiao Cui cried when she saw Sun Yiming in pain.
Sun Yiming already felt embarrassed.
He didn’t even dare to say who he was in this Ji Min Hall.
“Why are you here?”
“Someone came to the house and said— Master, are you okay?”
Ever since Sun Yiming passed the scholar examination, wealthy merchants had come to give him money and a small courtyard.
Although the courtyard was very small, it was better than renting one. In addition, Xiao Cui was pregnant. Sun Yiming felt that it was a double blessing, so he brought Xiao Cui to be his concubine and even bought a maid to wash clothes and cook.
Sun Yiming had money on hand, so he gave Xiao Cui some. Xiao Cui was not outstanding to begin with. After she got pregnant, she had acne on her face, which made her look even more terrifying.
“What are you doing here? Go back!”
Xiao Cui cried and insisted on taking Sun Yiming back with her. Sun Yiming reminded himself that she was pregnant with his flesh and blood, so he took a deep breath and asked Xiao Cui to pay for the medicine and consultation fee.
He was carefully helped into the carriage and brought home.
Xiao Cui didn’t even dare to ask how Sun Yiming got injured. The only thing she could do was serve him carefully.
Sun Yiming was lying on the bed when Han Qiao appeared in his mind again.
In terms of love, he knew he didn’t love her much. It was more of unwillingness.
He couldn’t accept that Han Qiao was doing so well while he was starting to get his footing.
He wanted to drag Han Qiao down, lower than him, to show off that he was already a scholar and would be a high-ranking official in the future.
Who would’ve thought that Han Qiao would remain unmoved, and continue to speak harshly and coldly to him.
Then Heng Yi came and kicked him without saying anything.
Sun Yiming’s eyes were filled with hatred and anger.
He wouldn’t let Heng Yi go.
One day, Heng Yi would pay the price.
The exam questions this time were exactly the same as the ones he had in his dream. As long as the question at the back didn’t change, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to pass.
He originally wanted to steal someone else’s writing, but he was afraid that he would be caught. He might as well know the topic. If he pondered over it and polished it, even if he could not make it into the top three, he would still be able to make it into the rankings.
As long as he could get on the rankings, he would not force anything else.
Xiao Cui quietly left the room.
She stood under the eaves and gently exhaled.
Han Qiao was very busy these few days. She had to go to a few villages and arrange tasks for them.
The head of the village implemented a new law. Nobody was allowed to live off a person while secretly helping another or embezzling money.
The fast food restaurants and restaurants were also inspected. If there was anything wrong, they had to rectify it.
“These corners must be cleaned carefully. The same goes for the jars. It can’t always be placed in this place. After a long time, dust will accumulate below.” “You must pay attention to safety in the kitchen, especially the fire. No matter how busy or tired you are, the person who manages the fire must be careful.” Houses in this era were all made of wood. If the house was burned down, it would cause a huge loss.
And it would implicate the neighbors or even the entire street.
She couldn’t afford to compensate.
“You must be careful. This is not only your job but also your responsibility.” “Don’t worry, Madam. 1’11 check several times before 1 leave.” The woman in charge of the fire quickly replied.
“I’ll patrol every night, Madam.” Another guard hurriedly said.
Han Qiao nodded slightly.
“Be careful. I’ve always known that I’m going to Chenzhou City. Before 1 leave, I still have to remind you.”
This is not just her shop.
They also had a share.
If the restaurant’s business was good, they would receive more wages. They also knew that this shop was full of wood and that a misfire would cause a disaster, so they did not dare to slack off.
Regardless of whether they were setting fires or patrolling at night, they were all extremely careful.
They had been working in this restaurant for almost a year. They had already bought a small courtyard in the county town and brought their parents here to enjoy life.
Some married their beloved daughters off and some of their sons were about to become fathers.
No one wanted anything to happen to the restaurant, so they were extra cautious.
“This year will be the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. Then, I’ll give you a holiday until the eighth of next year—”
Before Han Qiao could finish, someone shouted.
“Madam, we don’t have to take a holiday! We’re willing to work every day!”
“Yes, Madam! We’re willing to work every day!”
Han Qiao could not help but laugh, “Silver is endless.”
“You should go home and spend time with your parents, wives, and children.
You should spend some of the money you earn.”
The business here was still very good. She stayed here for a while and chatted with the new shopkeeper before getting up to go home.
Then she saw a few figures not far away.
“Eh? Is that Dacheng and the others? Why are they on the streets?” Han Qiao frowned.
Even Han Chi and Sun Xiu were not allowed to go out at will. They could only go out and play once a month. Most of the time, they had to study and practice martial arts at home.
They had only been out after studying for a few days?
Han Qiao was very surprised. Why would they come out?
“Let’s go over and take a look.”
“Yes.” Dong Lai followed behind in his carriage.
Han Qiao was even more surprised to find out that they were going to the residence behind Ji Min Hall.
1Q11
“Madam…” Shulan said softly.
Han Qiao didn’t want to go.
No matter what they did, they wouldn’t lose their lives.
She also wanted to see what these children were doing out here instead of studying and practicing martial arts.
“I’ll go take a look.”
Han Qiao got off the carriage and walked to the door.
The old man guarding the door was shocked when he saw Han Qiao. “M-M-Madam…”
Han Qiao glanced at him and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.
In the courtyard, Madam Han looked at the children in surprise, “Why are you here?”
“Grandmother,”
Han Qiao also wanted to know what they were doing here instead of studying, reading, and practicing martial arts at home..
