Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

Yun Huaikang and his group arrived smoothly in Yuliang County. They reached the vicinity of Madam Xu's house.

Fearing that having so many people in would disturb the peace, Yun Huaikang settled the others in a small teahouse at the entrance of the alley.

He gave Wu Changchun some money and asked him to buy some medicine for Wang Yuanqiu's injuries and a change of clothes.

Wang Yuanqiu was quite embarrassed.

He had run so fast that he had indeed lost most of his loose travel money. Now he was carrying several hundred taels of silver notes, but he dared not take them out.

Having just survived a robbery, he was terrified and didn't want to cause any more trouble.

He could only accept Yun Huaikang's kindness with embarrassment, secretly keeping this debt in mind.

I felt even more strongly that Yun Huaikang and his family were good people.

After making the arrangements, Yun Huaikang, along with Yun Shengsheng, Fan Sibo, and Yun Ziyan, drove the oxcart into the quiet alley where Madam Xu lived.

The car was loaded with gifts, several times more than the usual tuition fees for becoming an apprentice, piled up like a small mountain.

Fan Sibo stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door creaked open.

Standing inside the door was a woman in her fifties, her hair already gray, but neatly combed; her clothes were made of ordinary material, but were washed clean, and she exuded a composed air about her, unlike any ordinary farm woman.

Yun Huaikang even felt that this Madam Xu was more dignified and elegant than the wives of county magistrates and wealthy men he had ever met.

He immediately became reserved, and his back straightened up a bit more than usual.

Xu Lingniang's eyes lit up the moment she saw Fan Sibo, and she greeted him with a smile. Then she also noticed the people behind him.

Fan Sibo quickly introduced, "Madam, this is my father-in-law, and also my brother-in-law and sister-in-law."

Hearing that they were Fan Sibo's family members, Xu Lingniang politely invited them in and sat them down at the stone table in the middle of the courtyard.

The courtyard wasn't big, but it was kept very clean.

Xu Lingniang was getting on in years, and only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old maid took care of her daily life. The two of them lived a simple life, even somewhat frugal, but everything they did was quiet, dignified, and elegant.

The young maid, named Chuncai, quickly served tea and snacks, then stepped aside to wait respectfully.

Yun Ziyan and Yun Shengsheng were both affected by the atmosphere and stood quietly behind Yun Huaikang, behaving themselves properly and not daring to move or look around.

After Fan Sibo invited his teacher's wife and father-in-law to sit down, he took his own seat and then explained his purpose.

Xu Lingniang was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

To my utter surprise, they were asking her to be a tutor for Fan Sibo's wife's younger sisters.

Yun Huaikang sat there, his palms sweating, and he stammered as he spoke:

"Madam Xu, I... I just want my daughter to learn some manners and etiquette so that she won't be looked down upon wherever she goes in the future..."

After saying that, he awkwardly picked up his teacup and took a sip, almost choking.

Seeing his clumsy yet sincere appearance, Xu Lingniang smiled instead.

"You really do care about your girls."

Yun Huaikang quickly nodded: "As their father, I naturally have to consider their needs more."

Xu Lingniang nodded, but did not agree immediately.

She had her own concerns.

If you really become the lady of this house, you'll have to move in with them.

She knew about Fan Sibo's family situation and figured that his father-in-law's family was probably not well-off either. If she went there, there would be one more person to eat and one more room to occupy, and she might be disliked by others at some point.

She's getting old and really doesn't want to have to put up with other people's attitudes anymore.

My own little family is the best; though we're poor, we're content.

Fan Sibo noticed her concerns, thought for a moment, and quickly explained the situation of his father-in-law's family.

"Master's wife, don't let my father-in-law's simple clothes fool you, his family is actually quite well-off."

Yun Huaikang also realized what was going on and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we run a pastry shop and a sweet soup shop in the county town. Next spring, I'll also be doing business outside the Great Wall with some people. Our family is doing quite well financially. We have a big yard and plenty of empty rooms. Our family is thriving, with many young people. It's lively and bustling, so you definitely won't be bored when you come."

Xu Lingniang was amused by his blunt words.

Yun Huaikang pressed on, "I have five daughters, one son, one granddaughter, three nephews, and one niece..."

"Cough cough..."

Fan Sibo felt awkward and quickly interrupted his father-in-law.

He was worried that his master's wife would feel uncomfortable and have a headache if she heard that there were so many people.

Yun Huaikang quickly fell silent.

Xu Lingniang lowered her head, took a sip of tea, and her gaze fell on the little girl standing quietly beside Yun Huaikang.

Yun Shengsheng was also looking at her with her big, dark eyes, neither crying nor making a fuss, being unusually well-behaved.

Xu Lingniang couldn't help but reach out, "Come over here!"

Yun Shengsheng wasn't shy at all. She quickly ran to Xu Lingniang's side and greeted her cheerfully, "Hello, sir!"

Xu Lingniang was taken aback, then smiled. She patted the little girl's head and asked, "Do you also want me to be your teacher?"

Yun Shengsheng nodded.

My parents told me that finding this female tutor would involve learning not only academic subjects but also etiquette and manners. I'm absolutely unwilling, but in this world, if a woman doesn't learn these things, she'll probably have a hard time marrying into a good family.

So no matter what I think, I can't let it hinder my sisters' future, so let's get them back first!

Fan Sibo and Yun Huaikang were both stunned for a moment.

Yun Huaikang primarily hired female tutors to teach Yun Xiaoxiao, Yun Pianpian, Yun Shuangshuang, and Yun Qiaoqiao. As for Yun Shengsheng, he hadn't really considered her. After all, her teachers were the great scholar Su and Elder Li; with those two in charge, who would dare say they'd be her tutor?

Fan Sibo was also afraid of misunderstandings in the future, so he quickly told everyone about it.

Xu Lingniang was genuinely surprised this time, her eyebrows rising: "You mean, this little child is actually a disciple of Master Su and Elder Li?"

She had been away from the capital for many years, but she still remembered Su Qing and Old Master Li's names clearly.

Fan Sibo smiled and nodded: "Yes, Master's wife. So whether my younger sister should learn with you or not, we'll probably have to discuss that with Mr. Su and Mr. Li first..."

Yun Huaikang and his group were gone for several hours, but luckily he had left a lot of money behind.

Wu Changchun, along with his brothers and Yuan Yunqiu, drank tea and ate snacks at a teahouse.

As it was getting dark, I realized that I had already said I wouldn't be able to go home tonight and would have to stay here for the night.

Seeing that they still had enough money, Wu Changchun simply booked rooms at a small inn next to the teahouse. Since there were many of them, they booked the entire inn.

As soon as they paid, they saw Yun Huai'an and his family enter the inn.

Yun Huai'an glanced at Wu Changchun and the others, but his eyes kept glancing at Wang Yuanqiu.

Yun Zide asked the innkeeper, "Are there any rooms left? We'd like to book a few..."
