Bianjing Pet Shop

After transmigrating to the Northern Song dynasty, Zhou Niaoniao went from well-off to destitute overnight.

But for the sake of her sharp-tongued yet soft-hearted, chronically ill mother and her shy, considerate younger brother, she had no choice but to return to her old line of work and start a pet business.

She can treat sick cats and dogs with acupuncture, and make all the fluffy pets on the street drool with her pet food.

She can team up with a seamstress to make pet toys, then convince the old man next door who weaves grass to join in and make cat beds.

Next, she can dabble in imports: peacocks from Dali, falcons from the Liao, snow leopards from Tubo, white camels from the Uyghurs...

With a red panda in her arms, she gets her life back on track, pays off her debts, and even buys a house! The royal menagerie comes to ask for her help, too!

It all sounds wonderful, but where will she get the money to start her business?

Xu Shi'an is staying with his paternal uncle in Bianjing while preparing for the exams. He has food and a place to sleep, but still worries:

How is he supposed to get by with no income? He has heard that if he places first in the imperial examination, he will have to pay to print a class directory. Won't everyone laugh at him if he can't afford it? Why not invest in a shop instead?
