Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the harvest was drawing near. As they had exchanged a lot of things, apart from Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan going to work daily to keep up appearances, Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu stayed at home. Jiang Xia used this time to teach Jiang Gu some knowledge.

Some of Jiang Gu’s friends came to play with her. When they heard that Jiang Xia was teaching Jiang Gu, they looked at Jiang Xia eagerly and asked if they could listen.

Jiang Xia had no reason not to teach the children who were close to Jiang Gu.

To their surprise, these children found joy in learning. They relayed the experience to their families, and subsequently, other children came to learn as well.

Word about Jiang Xia teaching the children to read started to circulate within a small circle.

Since there wasn’t much work at this time, the families who heard about this sent their children to Jiang Xia’s home to learn. They hoped their children could learn to read which might come in handy one day.

Jiang Xia counted the children who came to her class. Including Jiang Gu, there were a total of n children. With no teaching equipment available, Jiang Xia had the children form a circle while she slowly wrote characters for them to observe. Then, they would practice writing these characters on the ground using tree branches.

The sudden influx of children left Jiang Xia a bit flustered. However, luckily, Jiang Gu knew more than the other children and could help Jiang Xia with teaching, which also reinforced her own learning.

Jiang Xia looked at the children diligently practicing their writing on the ground with a contented smile. However, upon catching sight of the man lounging under the eaves as though he were a lord, her smile instantly disappeared, and she walked over to him with her hands on her hips.

“Young Master Shen, how come you’re here again?”

Shen Mo, sitting on the rocking chair, slowly opened his eyes, and the fan in his hand started to swing back and forth again.

“Finished teaching? Come and sit for a while.” Saying this, Shen Mo tapped the other rocking chair next to him with his fan.

This was something that Jiang Chuan had made for Zhou Lan when he was on the mountain. Thinking that one chair looked lonely, he made a pair. Jiang Xia had brought them down using her interspace ability.

Without any formality, Jiang Xia casually settled herself onto it. After all, this was something her father had crafted, so there was no need for her to be overly polite.

Seeing Shen Mo reaching out for the fresh, juicy wild fruit beside her, Jiang Xia promptly slapped his hand away.

“These are rewards for the children, don’t touch.” While saying this, she herself picked up a fruit and began to bite into it.

The reason she is acting like this towards Shen Mo now, needs some explanation. It started from the time when Shen Mo shamelessly insisted on staying at the village chief’s house.

Originally, the plan was to rest at the village chief’s house for a two days until Shen Mo’s injuries improved, and then they would leave.

Unexpectedly, after Shen Mo was able to move around, he told the village chief that he wanted to stay a little longer. Of course, he didn’t plan to stay for free. Wang Wen took out notes and money to pay the village chief for their accommodation. The village chief initially refused to accept the money, but they insisted on paying him and he had no choice but to accept.

Wang Wen, the man with the satchel, and the two soldiers, although they were paid for their accommodation, still helped the village chief during the day. Occasionally, they would go to the neighboring village to make an unannounced visit. However, Shen Mo was different from the others. After finding out where Jiang Xia lived from the village chief, he began frequenting her house as his injuries improved.

At first, Jiang Xia was somewhat wary of this powerful and influential young master. But, as he kept coming to her house, her wariness gradually faded away.

Probably because she had shared a lot with Shen Mo previously, he kept asking her questions, like how to manage the land after it was distributed to the farmers, or how much land tax should be appropriate.

For these questions, Jiang Xia gave Shen Mo a huge roll of her eyes. If she were omniscient and omnipotent, what would they need leaders for? These systems needed to be established based on the country’s situation, and she had no idea about these things.

Even though she repeatedly expressed her ignorance, Shen Mo remained persistent. As they spent more time together, they gradually grew familiar with each other.

In recent days, Shen Mo managed to fish quite a bit of information from her, such as ideas about water conservation, seed cultivation, education promotion, and so on. It wasn’t until the children started to ask her if they could learn that Shen Mo ceased his behavior of pumping her for information.

Jiang Xia might have let it slip at first, but after a few times, she realized that Shen Mo was trying to get information from her. However, it would be beneficial for everyone if these things could be implemented early, so whenever Shen Mo asked her, she shared what she knew..
