After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

After thinking it through, Bai Qingyun was silent for a long time. She never regretted her harsh criticism and education of the girl. She told her the risks of going into the river and asked her to prevent harm. There was nothing wrong with that.

But at this moment she was at a loss. She didn't know whether it was right or wrong to keep Xiao Yan by her side!

If she stayed in Lijia Village, or if she lived in Lijia Village on her own, she wouldn't have to live such a sensitive life in the Bai family.

But the reality is always cruel. Without Bai Qingyun's appearance, where would Xiao Yan go?

She really hoped that the girl could survive the fire and start a new life.

Bai Qingyun gently comforted Xiao Yan, thinking to himself that perhaps when he arrived in Pingcheng Prefecture, he would no longer need to ask Xiao Yan whether he was willing to find a family to settle down.

Because it was almost noon when the hunting team came down the mountain, and it was almost evening when the wild boar meat jerky was ready.

"Everyone, have a good rest today and pack up your belongings. We'll be on the road tomorrow morning!"

At the command of Village Chief Yang, the atmosphere at the foot of the mountain became much more lively.

The women went to the river together to wash clothes. They didn't change clothes often in winter, so today was a good opportunity for them to take a hot bath, change their dirty clothes, and dry them by the fire.

Bai Qingyun took advantage of several sacks on the ox cart to hide and took out several jars of brewed peach blossom wine from the space. Three or two people sat around and drank happily.

"Sister, let's go fishing by the river! Big brother has made the fishing rods!"

Several elders of the Bai family found their companions, drinking and chatting, leaving only a few children of the Bai family.

They were long past the age for playing in the mud. Even the five-year-old Xiaoyan didn't play house games. The children were bored and just wanted to have some fun.

When Bai Qinghai has nothing to do, he likes to think about having fun.

At the foot of the mountain, the simplest happiness is to go up the mountain and down the river, but going up the mountain is dangerous and the elders will not agree.

I don't know how deep the water here is, and I can't go down easily. After thinking it over, I can only fish with a fishing rod.

"Sister, I made a fishing rod for everyone. It's hard to find earthworms in the winter, so let's use the entrails that the aunts just killed the chicken as bait and see if we can catch some fish."

"Okay, the place where Xiao Yan was just slacking off is pretty good, let's go there and give it a try!"

The children didn't know how to fish, so they just found a long wooden pole and some thin threads from the white mother's embroidery needlework and used it as a simple fishing rod.

It was Father Bai who saw what the children had in their hands and found a small bamboo and made it into the shape of a "Kongming hook".

The story of the Kongming hook originated from Zhuge Kongming. It is said that Zhou Yu also used this method to fish.

Cut the bamboo into appropriate length and width, then remove the excess branches and burrs from the bamboo. Sharpen the tip of the bamboo into a sharp shape so that it can better pierce the fish hook when fishing.

Insert the sharpened bamboo tip into the middle of the bamboo, then tighten the two ends of the bamboo to form a hook shape.

Fix it with a reed ring and put bait inside. It is said that as long as the fish bites the hook, it will not be able to escape.

Each of the Bai family's children had one, and even Xiao Yan, Bai Qingshan made a special small fishing rod for him.

Beside the stream, people sat in a row, holding fishing rods in their hands, looking at the river surface intently.

"Brother, can this really catch fish?"

Bai Qingshan is the oldest among the group of children. In his early years, he followed his father everywhere and became the "king of the children" among the group of children.

"Shh~ Keep your voice down, don't scare the fish!"

After saying this, he carefully looked at the ripples on the river surface, hoping that his fishing rod would move.

"Xiao Yan, did you see many fish when you went down to the river just now?"

Xie Shuer and Bai Qingyun sat at both ends of Xiao Yan respectively. Watching Xiao Yan's previous interactions with themselves, Xie Shuer also tried to communicate with her again.

After spending some time with the Bai family, the little girl slowly began to accept them and would occasionally respond to people who came to talk to her.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, looking at Xie Shuer with his bright eyes, as if saying that there were countless fish here.

"Host, we have been in this world for so long, should we start doing some tasks?"

The sound of bamboo rang in Bai Qingyun's mind.

Ever since he put Zhuzi and Huohuo into the space, this guy has been doing nothing but commanding the robots and eating snacks and basking in the sun, just like someone on vacation.

If it weren't for the mention of mission at this time, it would really be a new word.

"Tell me what the mission is!"

After a long and boring journey, coupled with boring fishing, Bai Qingyun really needed to find something to do.

"After the main system's detection, the host's world is undergoing a huge change. A female emperor will be born in this world, and the existence of the female emperor will slowly change the world dominated by men in the past."

"The status of women will gradually improve. The host's ultimate mission is to become the assistant of the empress and become a female official second only to the emperor in Da Zhao!"

"At the same time, with the host's intervention, more women will enter the officialdom of Dazhao. The host's secondary task is to help more girls enter the officialdom smoothly and build a 'women's army' that belongs to Dazhao alone!"

It looks like a good mission, and it has more in common with the Son of Fortune who helped the world in the past.

In the past, because I was traveling between different dimensions, I was an outsider to that world, so the tasks issued by the system were more often to assist the son of luck in this world.

But this world is different. Bai Qingyun himself belongs to this world. With the help of his own space, Bai Qingyun can be said to be the most fortunate person in Dazhao except Wei Xi.

Wei Xi's fortune had been tied to the fortune of the Dazhao Dynasty the moment Bai Qingyun rose to power. Bai Qingyun was in the middle of it, so naturally he could not compete with it.

"It looks like this mission is a long and arduous one! What's the deadline?"

Although he was quite familiar with Wei Xi, he would ascend the throne as emperor in the future. Putting aside the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects, the social class they were currently in was difficult to cross.

Creating female officials and challenging the patriarchal rules of this world is not something that can be done overnight.

People's concepts will begin to change slowly, and it will only be possible to achieve this when such quantitative changes accumulate to a certain qualitative change.

But the previous tasks were either to save the son of luck from danger, or to help him become powerful or wealthy, and these were all based on existing rules.

Although each task has a time limit, it can be achieved with the assistance of the system and your own efforts.

But it looks like this mission is a protracted battle. If there is still a deadline for the mission, it would be better not to do it and continue to live in retirement!
