Chapter 486 Something strange is going on in the barren mountain
When this order was issued, many young masters in the capital rolled around at home and wailed.
To learn farming?
To work?
Or was it an order issued by the imperial teacher himself?
They were so used to living in luxury that they even had to ask servants to take off their pants in advance when they farted.
How could they bear being suddenly thrown into the countryside?
Although the officials were reluctant, no one dared to disobey the order, and they could only coax their beloved ones to endure for half a month.
When the news reached the Jiang residence, Xiao Nuobao was extremely happy. He bared his teeth and laughed, "Daddy is awesome, Daddy is mighty! With this order to teach farming, let's see who dares to destroy grains in the future!"
This really hit the nail on the head. Since this morning, not to mention these rich young men
, even the servants in their residence had to pick up the swill before going out to pour it, for fear that they would pour out some delicious food and be seen by passers-by.
Feng nodded in admiration, "A young tree cannot be straight if it is not pruned. It is good for them to learn farming. The national teacher will educate them on behalf of their parents, so that these children will not grow crooked in the future."
Moreover, there is always a mountain higher than the other.
After Mu Yihan issued the order, he actually enclosed the land for learning farming in the west of the suburbs of Beijing, including the Jiang family's manor!
It just so happened that the farm had just finished the autumn harvest.
After that, they had to dry the rice, burn the stalks, plant cabbage, and dig dandelions, all of which required manpower!
Jiang Fenghu laughed, "Haha, no wonder, the farm manager just reported that some officers and soldiers had gone to ask for eight or nine children to be sent over in two days, so now there's someone to help with the work."
Little Nuobao clapped his hands with a smile, "Second brother, Nuobao will go too, it will definitely be lively, I want to join in the fun!"
Jiang Fenghu patted his chest, not only agreed, but also made calculations in his mind.
Some arrogant and noble children can't be counted on to plant cabbage.
But like moving stalks and fetching a few buckets of water, they can always do it with their hands.
Two days passed in a flash, and it was the day to set off to learn farming. For a while, a "strange scene" appeared in the capital.
In front of many noble mansions, there would be one or two young masters, holding full bags, pouting at their parents.
"Dad, don't you love me anymore? Wuwu, can I not go?"
"Father, mother, can you let my book boy pretend to be me and go to work?"
When faced with doting parents, I didn't want to be a "bad guy", so I simply threatened the imperial teacher.
"It's okay not to go, then wait for the imperial teacher to chop off our whole family, and your little fox flower, will be chopped off too!"
In the eyes of the children, the imperial teacher has always been cold and ruthless, and they were frightened and hunched their shoulders.
"Ugh, let me go, don't chop my head off!"
"Don't chop off my kitten's head either -"
But there are always a few who don't know how to live or die.
There was a young man of twelve or thirteen years old who drove to the outskirts of Beijing in a carriage. When he arrived, he did not get out of the car and only called five or six maids and boys to come forward.
In front of the black-armored army, the boy stretched his neck and shouted, "Isn't it just to do some farm work? There are so many servants in my family. With such cheap bones, why do I need to do it myself!"
The black-armored army is not used to his mistakes.
Then the kid was found and thrown into a farmer's big pig pen, where he was left to be eaten by the pigs until his pants were torn to pieces, and he was so scared that he crawled all over the pen.
Xiao Nuobao had just arrived at the village when she saw this relieving scene. She was so happy that she stamped her feet. The man deserved it for his outrageous remarks.
Soon, nine young men who were learning farming gathered in the quiet village.
They were carrying small bags, pouting, and standing at the entrance of the village angrily.
The one standing in the first place was none other than Pei Lao's grandson, Pei Jinbao, who had cried because he failed the exam.
Jiang Fenghu rolled up his sleeves and came out. He counted the people and wrote down their names, then ordered them to learn how to fetch water first.
However, the saying goes that little brats are very smart, and this is exactly what this age kid is talking about.
Pei Jinbao was not willing to do it at all. He put down his bag, waved his fat hands, and then showed his gap teeth, secretly teaching his companions to play with the bear!
"This is not our farm, so we won't do anything. We will just make things worse for them. After a while, they won't dare to order us around anymore." Pei Jinbao laughed and put his hands on his hips.
When the other partners heard this, their eyes lit up and they started to learn to make trouble.
The nine boys pretended to work hard. They first shouted that they wanted to fetch water, but they deliberately broke three wooden barrels and cut the well rope when the villagers were not paying attention.
Jiang Fenghu saw this and felt that it was not going to work, so he hurriedly asked them to move the straw.
Unexpectedly, they took advantage of the opportunity again and threw the half-burned straw on the firewood pile of the tenant's house, almost causing a big disaster.
Jiang Fenghu was so angry that he glared, but Pei Jinbao was smart. He threw himself into his arms, raised his chubby face, and started crying.
"Wuwu, uncle, don't be angry. It's all Jinbao's fault for being too stupid." He was thundering without raining. "If you give me another chance, I will definitely do it well and never make mistakes again."
Jiang Fenghu's mouth twitched. Looking at the extinguished firewood, he really didn't dare to let him do it again.
Pei Jinbao secretly winked and thought that his plan had succeeded. He was feeling proud in his heart.
Who knew that at this time, Xiao Nuobao narrowed his eyes and ran over with short legs.
It's impossible to fool her second brother under her nose!
The little guy had seen through his tricks, so he said with a smile, "Second brother, since they can't, don't embarrass these little fools, let them rest."
The children cheered, but who knew that the next moment, Xiao Nuobao laughed again, "However, the farm is not like the city, food is precious, and only those who work can eat~ Since they can't work, they can only starve." After this
, the boys were a little suspicious, and they didn't believe that the farm was so cruel that even the children's meals were deducted.
But who would have thought that after the meal, Jiang Fenghu only listened to his sister and really didn't give them food.
Xiao Nuobao is a child, and he knows the psychology of children best.
Even if they are naughty, they will definitely be obedient after two meals of hunger and their stomachs can't stand it.
Sure enough, after staying up all morning until evening, the young masters' stomachs started to growl and they began to regret it.
Pei Jinbao was born chubby and was the greediest one. He couldn't help himself and ran to hug Jiang Fenghu's thigh.
"Wuwu, good uncle, we won't be lazy anymore."
"Then will you still make trouble?" At this time, Xiao Nuobao was holding a bowl of cornmeal vegetable cakes, deliberately emitting fragrance.
The children nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice, "We dare not, we really don't dare anymore."
"Good princess, please give us something to eat, we are really hungry!"
Seeing this, Jiang Fenghu and some adults in the village couldn't help laughing.
"Children are children. They can bear it at first, but they can't stand it after two meals." Jiang Fenghu laughed and shook his head.
Xiao Nuobao also lowered his eyes, walked forward and gave a vegetable cake to each person, then put his hands on his waist and said, "Here, take it and eat it."
"But remember, every meal is earned through hard work, first, don't waste it, and second, since you are here, you can't just sit back and be the eldest master, that's not possible." Xiao Nuobao taught in a baby voice.
After being hungry for two meals, Pei Jinbao and his companions all ate the vegetable cakes in big mouthfuls, and answered Xiao Nuobao directly.
The rough cornmeal, paired with the non-smelly sauerkraut stuffing, is usually something that people in their mansion would disdain to eat.
But now in their eyes, it has become a rare delicacy, so delicious that they almost bite their tongues.
"What's going on?" Pei Jinbao cried out in satisfaction, "When did corn cakes become so delicious, Princess Nuobao, give me another one!"
"Yeah, I want one too!"
"And me, when I go back home, I'll ask the cook to make corn cakes for me every day."
The children ate with relish, but they didn't dare to waste any food. They would pick up the crumbs that fell on the ground, clean them up and eat them.
Little Nuobao sat on the side "supervising", her little face flushed with smiles. Not bad, they have made some progress.
After a full meal, Pei Jinbao and the others burped twice, but they didn't dare to have any bad thoughts anymore.
Little Nuobao nodded with satisfaction, and then took them to put away the farm tools that had been knocked over during the day, and moved some straw to make up for the day.
The children had a full stomach and were much stronger. They worked until it was almost dark before they realized it was time to go back and rest.
Xiao Nuobao yawned and nodded, "If we work any more, we won't be able to see it. Let's do the rest tomorrow. Let's go back to the farmhouse and take you to bed."
The boys agreed obediently, patted the weeds on their bodies, and followed Xiao Nuobao, like a group of ducks returning to their cages.
Although "Duck Mom" was the youngest, she walked in front with her short legs, and the little fat girl still had the momentum of a king of children.
But at this time, Pei Jinbao looked around and saw the high mountains in the distance. He was suddenly stunned and showed a look of surprise.
"Am I dazzled, Princess Nuobao?" Pei Jinbao rubbed his eyes quickly. "Aren't there only barren mountains over there? How come there is still light in the middle of the night?"
