Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Xiao Lang and Xiao Hu saw this, they said excitedly, “Sister, what are you doing?
Jian Qingqing jumped off the bicycle. Liu Yuewen and Xiao Tao quickly went forward. Xiao Tao handed her a cup of tea, and Liu Yuewen quickly wiped the sweat from Jian Qingqing’s forehead.
Jian Qingqing took a few sips of tea and said, “Riding a bike.”
Xiao Hu and the other two circled the bicycle in surprise, carefully observing it.
“Big Sister, did you buy this?” Xiao Lang curiously asked. “Can you buy one for us too? It feels so fun!”
“No,” Jian Qingqing shook her head. “I asked someone to make it.”
“Wow!” the three of them exclaimed in surprise and looked at Jian Qingqing with admiration.
“Sister, how did you make this? It was so magical! You can actually walk on the road like this!”
“This is called a bicycle,” Jian Qingqing said with a smile. “Do you all want it?” The three of them nodded in unison and looked at Jian Qingqing with bright eyes.
“I really want it!”
“I know you want it, so I’ve asked someone to make it for you. You should be able to get it soon. I’ve also made you a skateboard. You can ride it to the Academy. If anyone asks, just tell them I have it here, understand?”
The three of them looked at Jian Qingqing with admiration and said excitedly, “Sister, there are many rich people in our Academy! This bicycle is so fun to play with, they’ll definitely be willing to buy it!’
Mother Jian usually gave the three of them pocket money, and Mother Jian was afraid that they would spend money recklessly, so she always gave them less. So. except for Xiao Ye. the three of them always thought that their family had no money, and were very keen on making money.
As for Xiao Ye, he was usually very interested in calculations, so he was even more keen on making money.
Before the business even started, he had already thought of several ways to make money.
“Sister, leave it to me, I’ll definitely sell it well for you!” he said passionately.
Jian Qingqing smiled. “Okay, when the bicycle and skateboard are done, you’ll be responsible for selling them for me. You must sell them well.”
Xiao Ye’s personality seemed to have become much more lively and cheerful after coming to the Capital. After all, he was a top student, and there was almost no one who could match him in Shifeng County. There were all kinds of people in the Capital, and there were always people better than them. He met many friends with similar interests here, and they often organized poetry meets and singing gatherings together. With his own intelligence and charm, he made many good friends. Of course, there were many children of nobles among them, and they were not short of money.
Jian Qingqing did not have time to do this personally. It was best to leave it to Xiao Ye to train himself.
Xiao Ye puffed out his chest proudly and said, “Sister, don’t worry. I’ll definitely do a good job!’
Xiao Hu and Xiao Lang said unhappily, “We can also do it?” Why don’t you hand it over to us?
“That’s right. Many of our students in the Academy are rich. They’ll definitely love to play this game!”
Ever since Xiao Lang came to the Capital, Ming Zhiyan no longer taught him personally. He found a martial arts school for Xiao Lang, which had a good reputation in the Capital. Many rich families would send their children there to learn martial arts.
Because the Wei Kingdom had been fighting wars for years, the Emperor encouraged everyone to learn martial arts. Therefore, the status of warriors was also very high, comparable to scholars.
There were many martial arts academies in the Capital, mainly teaching martial arts, and they also taught how to read. However, not many children pay much attention to this aspect.
As a result) many children from large families who could not study literature or were interested in martial arts would be sent to the institute of martial ans..
