Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich

Ye Jiaxing was stirred by his companion's words.

"What? Is this true?"

"It's true, there's absolutely no mistake, my family is also on the list for Shangjing," his companion asserted firmly.

Ye Jiaxing had just been thinking about how he could catch a glimpse of that woman, even from afar, and this was the perfect opportunity to penetrate the inner circle and follow them to the Capital City.

...

Ye Shiqi got out of bed and started dressing up that day. After washing her face and looking in the mirror, she saw her makeup-free visage—rosy cheeks within a white complexion, skin so pale and fine that she needed no makeup at all.

She patted her face with a simple refreshing skin tonic she had made out of Spiritual Spring water and flower petals, leaving her lips naturally red without any lipstick.

Today she wore a mid-sleeve dress patterned with small purple flowers she had designed herself, incorporating a bit of the ancient Han style. The mid-sleeve dress had wide sleeves and was not high-collared.

Her shoes were purple embroidered slippers; she had matching shoes for every outfit, and some were not made by her mother.

Every year on her birthday, Young Master Tang would come up with various excuses to send her fabric, and whenever he thought of visiting, he would bring her a gift.

The other elder sisters received gifts as well, but she got particularly many.

Like the other day when her two aunts visited, bringing gifts not just for the sisters but for the whole family.

The aunt who ran a sundry shop was very thoughtful, giving trendy hairbands as gifts to the sisters for tying their hair.

The future brother-in-law not only gifted the elder sister with jewelry and dresses but also brought presents for the sisters, with everyone in the family receiving a gift.

Today, she and her brother were following their parents to the county town. When they were about to get into the carriage, "Brother, sister-in-law, I want to go play too," Ye Daidi, always closest to the Hongji couple and their children, said with an expression that conveyed even more goodwill.

Unlike the fierce glares she received from her mother and concubine, those looks scared her a bit.

Aunt Lai watched from her room, feeling annoyed at first upon hearing her daughter wanted to join the family's outing. Then she saw an opportunity.

Would her young daughter understand what their family was up to?

"Eldest Young Master, young madam, let Lady join you on your trip. Take her with you!" Aunt Lai's attitude was oddly different from her usual confrontational stance.

Hongji and his wife exchanged a glance before Mrs. Li gently addressed the little over two-year-old child:

"Daidi, stay home, okay? We'll bring you back something delicious!"

"Oh," Ye Daidi bowed her head, looking somewhat disappointed and didn't insist any further!

Aunt Lai stomped around her room; her health had improved a lot, but the miscarriage had caused her to lose too much blood. She had barely clung to life, leaving her body frail.

The miscarriage was almost as debilitating as childbirth, requiring her to recover in a 'little confinement,' which is why Hongji's father wouldn't let her move to the smaller house.

And, making her stay indoors prevented her from having the energy to concoct any more mischief.

Their carriage had a driver today and was accompanied by two bodyguards on bicycles for their protection.

The family sat crowded in the carriage, which though not as luxurious as those of the wealthy, was specially expanded to be more spacious, with an extended carriage box and four wheels instead of the usual two, having been modified for improvement.

As their carriage passed the estate, two groups of people followed behind.

Zhong Xingwang had been waiting at the entrance of the estate for quite some time, as the future bride was off to make purchases, and he could not resist following along.

Upon seeing their carriage, he immediately followed, and it was not just his men on his carriage but also his classmates.

At that time, these shameless men did not use their own carriages but insisted on following others'.

The other group was Tang Shunyan and his friends, who hadn't been home in many days, and that day Tang Shunyan had decided to follow them to the county.

They too thought it would be good to follow, amongst them was a girl, Si Ma Roumei.

Si Ma Roumei was present that day at the estate when Zhong Xingwang brought people over, after Pan Zhongdan made a bet and lost.

The next day, she had arranged with friends to join them for a bicycle race, which included Si Ma Roumei.

Originally, Si Ma Roumei did not want to join in their fun, but regrettably, the Ye Family's sisters were busy these two days and could not spend time with her.

On the second day of the bicycle race, their group missed the two Ye Family sisters but gained a few young men from the Capital City.

That day, Pan Zhongdan was brimming with confidence, sure that he would come out on top in cycling.

The prizes for this race were funded by the men themselves, with rewards for second place and third place as well.

Among the bicycle racers, there was only one woman, Si Ma Roumei, and the young men thought it best if Si Ma Roumei, just a girl, didn't compete at all, and didn't need to contribute any Silver. If the young lady won, she could receive a reward, and if she lost, she wouldn't be at a loss.

This time, having Si Ma Roumei in the race was like having an extra spectator.

Si Ma Roumei was underestimated by these men, but she did not care, knowing that these men were older than her and cared about their face.

She secretly convinced herself that she must win a title, to show these young gentlemen that women could also be very strong.

Tang Shunyan and his buddies joined the race with several older brothers, and he did not believe he would lose.

Their equipment was the best, which those men from Shangjing had not prepared sufficiently, having heard about the race and borrowed bicycles at the estate.

The estate also provided bicycles for cycling enthusiasts to rent, of course, charging a rental fee and a deposit.

If someone lost a bicycle or took it away, the deposit would not be returned.

Pan Zhongdan had never known the scenery here to be so beautiful, as they raced on a mountain road.

The race distance was not long, and winning relied entirely on individual charm.

As the group entered the starting point of the race, Pan Zhongdan, joining for the first time, didn't know the distance and didn't think he was the best, but decided to follow the others.

Pan Zhongdan just focused on not losing to Si Ma Roumei; losing to someone else was acceptable, but not to this girl, lest he be even more embarrassed than the day before.

The other young men all felt the same way, believing that their age gave them an advantage and that they should be more formidable than these younger boys.

Their imaginations were rich, but when the race started, they realized that even fierce cycling couldn't match the others.

Leading the pack was Tang Shunyan, and these older boys thought this kid was fierce!

Then they assumed that these boys were fiercer than the girl, but they didn't expect Si Ma Roumei to emerge within their group, sprinting to second place, with third place also being a young boy.

Having lost the lead, they fell behind further, lacking the strength to climb the slope, and on that hot morning, they perspired profusely. In the end, the victor was Tang Shunyan in first place, Si Ma Roumei in second, and Tang Xiyue in third.
