Traveling with a child slowed things down a bit, especially since Jiang Yue had modified the carriage again. She didn't dare to make any major changes, as the child, though small, wasn't stupid.
After a few days, Jiang Yue assessed her apprentice's abilities and then created a study plan for her. The initial study plan was not demanding, basically consisting of two or three classes a day, with the rest of the time spent sightseeing.
Actually, Jiang Yue was thinking of starting to study later, since the child had just experienced a major change and she wanted her to recover. However, the child often cried at night, so she decided to learn something to distract herself and prevent her from being immersed in the pain of the past every day.
After arriving at the next city, the little apprentice finally didn't have to take medicine anymore. The medicine was for regulating the body. Every time Jiang Yue saw that wrinkled little face, she couldn't help but laugh. Every time her apprentice looked at her with accusatory eyes, Jiang Yue could only turn her head and pretend not to see it, otherwise she would really laugh and be done for.
With Jiang Yue's company and the increased daily tasks, plus the sightseeing, the little apprentice has become much more cheerful lately. After arriving at the new city, Jiang Yue entrusted her with the task of purchasing supplies. With two puppets accompanying and reminding her, she wasn't afraid of anything going wrong. Jiang Yue walked down the street with some emotion, feeling that she still wasn't used to this ancient world after visiting it several times.
The people are being exploited too severely. Labor, war, and land taxes are all piled up higher and higher. Even though the protagonist has created a lot of things, such as potatoes being promoted, the people's lives have only evolved from starving to just barely surviving. If you want to know where the people are doing well, the only place in the world where the people live in the protagonist's fiefdom are doing relatively well right now.
The protagonist recently fought a life-or-death battle with a powerful family for a prostitute. Many people couldn't understand why the protagonist would do it for a so-called "lowly person." Only Jiang Yue and the protagonist knew that it was worth it.
Because the protagonist is a modern person who grew up under the red flag, his values are very normal. Even Jiang Yue, who has lived for so long and whose values have been distorted several times, still has the most basic human values.
Jiang Yue might kill someone if she encountered a bad person, but she could never bring herself to turn a living person into a candle. You could call her a ruthless, outlaw, but she would never do something so inhumane.
After wandering around the city, Jiang Yue returned to the temporary inn where she was staying. Her apprentice was taking stock of the supplies she had bought. When he saw Jiang Yue return, he ran over and pulled her aside to introduce her to the items. He explained what each item was, what each pile of things was for, and what the other bag contained snacks. After she finished explaining, her apprentice had an expression that said, "Praise me! Praise me!"
Jiang Yue couldn't help but rub her little head: "You did a great job. Even your master is sometimes forgetful."
"hey-hey."
After loading the things onto the carriage, the group found a place to eat. After having an apprentice, Jiang Yue stopped her original habit of eating vegetarian food because the little apprentice was quite sensitive. If she saw that Jiang Yue wasn't eating, she wouldn't eat either. However, the little apprentice was still growing and not eating meat could not guarantee a balanced diet. Even if she was fed pills, it would have to be done slowly.
The next morning, after finishing her morning class, Jiang Yue led her apprentice through some exercise. The exercise method was tailor-made for her, and sticking to it would surely improve her health and prolong her life. At first, she couldn't finish the whole set, but after a few months of rest, she was able to complete a full set of movements this month.
After breakfast, she began her daily lessons. Jiang Yue not only taught her Taoist culture, but also the knowledge from the new textbooks of the Protagonist Academy. Jiang Yue was thinking of sending her to the academy for a few years after returning to Chang'an to broaden her horizons. As for other advanced things, Jiang Yue had no intention of teaching her at the moment.
Jiang Yue can teach her a lot, but the end result will be like the protagonist, out of place in the world. Jiang Yue is not sure if her little apprentice can withstand that kind of pressure. She will teach her what she wants to learn when she grows up. Besides, her current schoolwork is already heavy enough. Jiang Yue definitely needs to teach her traditional Chinese medicine skills. Although her little apprentice is very smart, she is still young and should have a childhood.
After finishing her morning classes, it was already past 10 a.m. Aside from lunch, there was free time until 2 p.m., during which she could read or go out and play. This was unlike studying on the road, where she could at least pass the time. Looking at her little apprentice learning how to judge and feed horses from the puppet, Jiang Yue pondered what to have for lunch.
Jiang Yue didn't care what her little apprentice learned. As long as she finished her homework and showed interest in something, Jiang Yue let her learn it. Interest is the best teacher, isn't it? Even if she didn't understand it, having some knowledge was good enough. She had originally thought about learning to cook with Jiang Yue, but Jiang Yue told her to wait until she was older. Learning cooking requires a lot of practice. By the time she finished her aerobics, she would have enough strength. Right now, she couldn't even lift a pot to cook.
After thinking it over, Jiang Yue decided to make some light and refreshing dishes, since the weather was getting warmer. She went into the kitchen, searched for ingredients, and prepared to make a cold wild vegetable salad and steamed fish.
Just then, the little apprentice ran in, his face flushed and his eyes sparkling: "Master, I just saw that the little horse was very obedient. It must be a good horse."
Jiang Yue smiled and nodded, "Then you must take good care of it. When it grows up, you can ride it out to play."
Jiang Yue chatted with her young apprentice while cooking. The apprentice watched curiously from the side. Before long, the food was ready, and the two sat down at the table to eat. The apprentice ate with great relish and kept praising Jiang Yue's cooking skills.
After lunch, the little apprentice went to take a nap on her own. She knew she would have to continue with classes in the afternoon, and if she dozed off, her master would slap her hand. Jiang Yue handed the bowls and chopsticks to the puppet to clean up, and she also planned to take a nap. The afternoon sun shone through the window into the room, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.
After waking up, they continued with their morning and afternoon classes. After class, they started packing their things and set off for their next destination. After packing, they went out for a big meal. The next morning, before the city gates opened, Jiang Yue and the others were already queuing up, taking advantage of the fact that the sun hadn't come out yet so they could travel a little further.
The time spent teaching his apprentice on the road increased significantly, because there was really nothing to do except during breaks. Around 11 a.m., they found a post station to rest. The horses pulling the carriage needed to rest, so after getting off the carriage, the master and apprentice started preparing a meal, while the puppet went to fetch water for the horses. There was no water near the post station, so they had to fetch water from a well for the horses.
For lunch, they had cucumber and scrambled eggs, and then heated up a few sesame seed cakes. That was enough for a quick meal. They would cook properly when they set up camp in the evening. If the weather was bad, they would just have sesame seed cakes and water for lunch. But Jiang Yue wasn't in a hurry to get going, so she would cook whenever she could.
