Bian Lan came in first place. Before everyone who had been checking the rankings had left, the conversation between the group was overheard by someone nearby.
Upon hearing that Bian Lan had come in first place and that all three of them had passed the exam, the other students who had also passed couldn't help but greet her.
Since we'll all be in the same academy in the future, it's good to get to know each other beforehand.
Bian Lan wasn't intimidated, and since her soul was that of a modern person, she had no concerns about the boundaries between men and women, and quickly started talking to people about it.
At noon, Bian Lan had lunch with Liu and Zhang to celebrate their ability to stay.
During the meal, Liu and Zhang couldn't help but thank Bian Lan again.
Brother Liu said, "If it weren't for Brother Bian thinking of me this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have passed the exam. Thank you, Brother Bian, I'll toast you with this glass of wine."
Bian Lan isn't incapable of drinking, she just can't drink much. The wine glass is quite small, so she only drank one glass.
Brother Zhang also said, "Brother Liu is right. This time, we are very grateful to Brother Bian for helping us fill in the gaps in our knowledge. During the exam, I was glad that many of the points that Brother Bian mentioned as important seemed to have been tested. Thank you, Brother Bian. I toast to Brother Bian."
Bian Lan couldn't refuse this drink, so she drank it.
After two glasses of wine, Bian Lan's complexion remained unchanged, but she felt somewhat unwell.
The two men then offered toasts, but Bian Lan shook his head, saying, "I can't hold my liquor. This inn isn't home. Drinking too much can easily lead to mistakes, so I won't drink. You two should also drink less."
Upon hearing this, the two stopped urging him to drink, but perhaps because they were genuinely happy, they continued drinking.
Both of them brought servants with them, and Bian Lan didn't say anything. After all, they had drunk too much, and they could just go upstairs to rest.
After lunch, Bian Lan had a headache. The two glasses of wine she drank at noon made her feel unwell, so she went back to her room to rest for a while before getting up.
She went to find Liu and Zhang, but they were both fast asleep, still drunk.
Bian Lan didn't want to stay at the inn any longer, so she decided to go out for a walk.
He's been in the capital for quite some time now, and he hasn't had a proper look around, which is really inexcusable.
In fact, Bian Lan had long had doubts in her heart. Although she was a science student, she was different from Tong Cheng'er, who was an unloved science student. As a homebody, she had read many novels and watched many TV series, and had some understanding of the Kangxi Dynasty.
She felt there was something wrong with Prince Yong's residence. Also, she clearly remembered that Prince Yong's wife should be from the Ulanara clan. Furthermore, historical records clearly show that Prince Yong had many wives and concubines.
However, she wasn't sure who was at fault. It could be Prince Yong or his wife. After all, there's a saying in modern times: Yongzheng was very busy, busy being the male lead in various Qing Dynasty dramas and busy being conquered by time-traveling, reborn, and letter-carrying women in various novels.
Who knows, maybe the wife of Prince Yong is the female lead!
She heard that Emperor Kangxi had spoken about Prince Yong's exclusive favor towards his wife. It has to be said that anyone who could do that would be quite capable.
In various Qing Dynasty time-travel dramas and novels, Emperor Kangxi is portrayed as a ruthless and iron-fisted emperor who also deeply dislikes his son's exclusive favor towards one woman.
Bian Lan was lost in thought on the clean cement ground when she unknowingly walked away. When she looked up, she found herself in a shop called Qiqiao Grocery Store.
Perhaps it was the shop's name containing the word "Qiqiao" that made Bian Lan, who had just been admitted to Qiqiao Academy, stop and look around for a while before deciding to go in and take a look.
The fact that a grocery store dares to use the word "Qi Qiao" (奇巧, meaning clever or ingenious) suggests that it must have some impressive background.
She just walked in.
Once inside, she found the shop to be quite large, and there were quite a few people inside. As soon as she entered, someone came over to greet her warmly.
"Sir, what would you like to order?"
Bian Lan said, "I'm just looking around."
The waiter smiled and said, "Alright, sir, feel free to take a look. We have things in our shop that you wouldn't expect. Just let me know if you need anything."
Bian Lan smiled and said, "Okay."
After the waiter left, Bian Lan looked around on her own. She became quite certain that the shop was definitely related to the Yong Prince's Mansion. The shop had a variety of scented soaps, some for washing hands, some for washing faces, and some similar to laundry detergent.
Not only that, there are also toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, body wash, as well as flower essential oils, perfumes, lip balms...
These things look so familiar; she really didn't expect to see them at KitKat.
She felt that the person who could make such a thing was more likely to be a girl. Of course, it was also possible that Prince Yong was a time traveler with a background in chemical engineering. However, Bian Lan still thought that it was more likely that Prince Yong's wife was a time traveler. After all, according to the usual plot, only the female lead would create so many things that were ahead of their time.
Looking at all these things, Bian Lan made wild guesses in her mind, and then she shamefully felt a flutter in her heart.
Having transmigrated to ancient times, she constantly wanted to curse. She was living a perfectly good life in modern times: food delivery for hunger and thirst, Taobao for clothes and other necessities, and her mobile phone for entertainment…
What a happy time it was! But in ancient times, a whole host of chaotic things came one after another. That's not all. The key point is that the quality of life in ancient times was far worse than in modern times.
There are all sorts of inconveniences. Let's not even talk about the distant ones, just take her hair for example. She was raised as a boy since she was a child, and most of her hair in the front was kicked off. Not only was it an eyesore, but her hair in the back was so long that washing it was a hassle. Also, she had to braid it every day.
When she first transmigrated here, she wished she could cut her hair off.
Furthermore, washing her hair was even more troublesome. The stall at the Oddity Central hadn't been set up yet, and there was no shampoo in the remote place she was in. Every time she wanted to get her hair clean, it was an incredibly difficult process.
Now, sitting in the quaint grocery store, she had only one thought: to buy as much as she could. Just as she was about to reach out, she suddenly realized a problem: she didn't have much money on her and couldn't afford it. This is a sad story.
So she immediately withdrew her outstretched hand. She was really envious of these things; they were all good things she needed. She had been wearing them for several months, but she still wasn't quite used to the ancient way of life.
Sigh! It's all because of poverty.
Just then, someone came down from the second floor. She looked up and thought, "Even though I can't afford it, I can at least look at it and satisfy my craving. I can come back when I have the money."
So she decided to go upstairs to take a look.
She went upstairs. Compared to the cluttered trinkets on the first floor, the second floor looked more "spacious." The second floor had more items like telescopes and music boxes.
She also saw a clock that was two heads shorter than her, and judging from the drawings on it, it must have been made by local craftsmen from the Qing Dynasty.
These were clearly items she couldn't afford, but they felt genuinely familiar to her.
"Young master, is there anything you wish to obtain?"
Bian Lan turned around at the sound and saw a handsome young man in a wheelchair behind her. She was stunned.
At that moment, all she could think was: "Mommy, I saw an angel!!"
And another thing: how come she's even prettier than celebrities?
...
Bian Lan snapped out of her daze, her face turning red.
