Chapter 631 It's time to think better
Although Li Hutu is very talented, he is often looked down upon by his colleagues because of his weak character.
The powerful and nobles treat him, a poor scholar, with arrogance.
But now, the most popular Jiang family in the capital is different from others. Not only does it treat him with courtesy, it also gives him real respect.
How can Li Hutu, who has never been valued, not be moved!
He held up the soup with trembling hands, ate it with tears in his eyes, and tasted it mouthful by mouthful.
The Jiang family treated him so politely.
And of course he had to return the favor!
So Li Hutu shuddered, and then he slapped the table, deciding that he would teach the little princess everything he knew in the future, so that the little princess could learn all his knowledge and become the most talented woman in Nanji!
After finishing the half-day class, Xiao Nuobao twisted his sore butt and ran back to the inner courtyard hand in hand with Chun Ge'er.
Who knew that at this moment, he heard a sudden shout from behind.
"Talented girl!"
"She must be the most talented girl!" Li Hutu exclaimed to the sky.
The little fat girl scratched the back of her head and chuckled arrogantly, "Wow, Chun Ge'er, listen quickly, the young master is praising me for being a rich girl! Haha, does he also know that I am not far from becoming the most wealthy woman in Nanji!"
Little Chun Ge'er chewed the skin of his hand and looked up suspiciously.
"That little aunt, Master... is that really what she meant?"
Although he couldn't tell the difference between the talent of talent and the wealth of wealth, he vaguely felt that the little aunt seemed to be possessed by money and had completely misunderstood...
Xiao Nuobao was still confidently standing with her hands on her hips, but she didn't know that the storm of learning was about to sweep towards her!
After Li Hutu went back, he locked himself in the study.
When he came out again, he saw that the three pages of rice paper on his desk were all densely written, all of which were the plans for Xiao Pangya to become a talented girl!
From this day on, Xiao Nuobao could no longer sleep in.
Li Hutu added early reading on the original basis. Xiao Nuobao's beautiful day would start with reading poems and reciting.
Then they had to learn arithmetic and recite classics, and from time to time they had to listen to some policy discussions, which made Xiao Nuobao's brain almost explode.
But she was a little kid after all, and when she was confused, she often yawned, and her mouth was so wide open that she almost swallowed Li Hutu.
Sometimes, the little fat girl propped up her chin and wanted to sneak away for a while, but Li Hutu had his own way. He rolled his eyes and knew that it was not good to punish the princess directly, so he deliberately coughed twice and hit Chun Ge'er to punish her.
This trick of "knocking the cat to scare the tiger" made little Chun Ge'er suffer. If the little aunt didn't come back to her senses for a long time, his little head would be knocked into a wooden fish, and he would just need someone to recite the classics next to him!
Xiao Nuobao touched the bump on her nephew's head, and she felt so distressed.
So she wanted to prop up her eyelids with a stick. Even if she was extremely sleepy, she had to hold it back and listen carefully to the lecture of the young master.
At first, when Feng heard that her grandson was punished, she felt very distressed.
"What? Chun Ge'er was beaten twice. Let me go and see what happened?"
"He is so young. I wonder if the young master Li is too strict."
But when Feng looked around, she found that it was to teach the young lady a lesson. So the distress she just felt immediately disappeared without a trace!
"Don't say, this Lord Li is really capable." Feng was happy again, and went back to the house and laughed, "The fat girl has been punished."
Jiang Fengze also found it fresh.
"I didn't expect that although Li Hanlin is a bit depressed, his method is really clever. This is a blow to Chun Ge'er, but it hurts our Nuobao!"
Xiao Lanyi ran over and said with a smile, "This method has its source. The princes of the previous dynasty were taught in the same way! Once someone is disobedient, the Grand Tutor and the Junior Master can't punish them, so they pick a similar-aged tutor from the aristocratic family and let the tutor take over. Being punished, using guilt to make the prince progress, Li Hanlin is well-read in history books, of course he knows this trick! "
Feng felt educated after hearing this, and sighed, "It seems that reading more books is useful."
She deliberately raised her hand to threaten, "Okay, mother has also learned a trick, and in the future, if any of you brothers dare to disobey, mother will do this!"
Although this trick is effective, it is hard on Chun Ge'er's little head.
Feng hurriedly told Zheng Ma to go to the street to buy some pig brains to supplement her grandson's "brain".
People in the capital rarely eat pig brains.
The occasional trend of eating pig brains came from the wine houses with Sichuan flavor.
Madam Zheng carried a basket and searched around the market for a long time. The soles of her shoes were almost worn out. She finally managed to get five or six pig brains, and also bought a handful of fresh scallions, chili skins, and half a pound of tofu.
Before noon, a burst of spicy aroma of oil-fried food wafted out, and soon it drifted all over the yard with the breeze.
After Li Qiqiao showed off her cooking skills, she took off her sleeves and looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction.
On the stove, there was a dish of spicy pig brain, a dish of pork brain tofu fried with scallions, and a small dish of roasted pig brain!
Sprinkle a handful of cumin and scallions on the roasted pig brain, and it looks delicious.
The children in the family were already drooling at the smell, craning their necks to look towards the kitchen, their eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Soon, when Li Qiqiao and Madam Zheng brought the plates and served everything,
the Jiang family members' eyes lit up and they quickly picked up their chopsticks.
"Oh my God, we're having a meal with pig brains today. The whole table is full of them. I've never eaten pig brains before. Let me taste what they taste like." Sun Chunxue was so greedy that she quickly took a bowl to get some.
Feng was also eager to try, but she still focused on getting some for the children first.
Xiao Nuobao and Feng Miao love spicy food. At this moment, the two of them were squeezed on a stool, showing off the spicy plate of pig brains.
"Fifth brother, let's eat this! It must be super spicy and super addictive!" The little fat girl grabbed the chopsticks and almost jumped off the chair with joy.
The pig brain was cooked tender and smooth, and the soup was very delicious.
There was red chili oil on it. Soon, the two children kept inhaling and their mouths were almost swollen from the spiciness. They couldn't stop eating!
The adults liked the one with tofu more.
They also ate without raising their heads.
At this time, Feng picked up half of the roasted pig brain and put it in Chun Ge'er's small bowl, "This is roasted to the best degree, Chun Ge'er, eat it slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Little Chun Ge'er bit the end of the chopsticks and blinked his round eyes.
Grandma seems a little abnormal. Normally, at this time, shouldn't she be concerned about her aunt first?
However, the little guy lowered his head and took a bite, and soon his eyes lit up with surprise. He didn't care about thinking too much and quickly ate it.
But he couldn't think of it.
Today's big feast of brains was specially prepared to compensate his little head melon.
After lunch, Li Qiqiao brought sour plum soup to relieve the greasiness, and each person was served a big bowl.
Sweet osmanthus and honey were added to the sour plum soup, which tasted sour and sweet. Little Nuobao drank two big bowls of it, and it was so enjoyable.
After today, Xiao Pangya's school will be closed for two days.
She can finally take a breath.
Little Nuobao jumped back to the house, counting on her fingers that she would have to sleep in for two days, make some beautiful clothes, and go to Xiao Jiuchongtian to check the accounts!
But of course, she couldn't forget her favorite Xiaoliu Manor!
So in the afternoon, she changed into small flowered pants and a milky white vest, and took Feng's big hand to go to the manor to play.
The carriage creaked and rushed to Xiaoliu Manor. Old Li was squatting next to the trap, waiting to catch sparrows.
Seeing the little fat girl coming, Old Li waved his hands in surprise, "My dear, you are finally here. Grandpa Li has caught more than 30 sparrows in the past few days, but unfortunately half of them died. I will roast them all for you later so that you can eat your fill!"
Little Nuobao touched her round belly.
Although she was already very full, it was a common problem for children to have a full belly but not full eyes, so she was busy like a chicken pecking at rice, nodding her mind non-stop.
"Great, Master Li is the best~"
Feng pulled her little braids and smiled back, "Don't listen to her, this child has just stuffed her stomach with grease, just roast three or five first to relieve her hunger."
Old Li said "Ah" twice in response, and Da Wen and Xiao Wu also ran over at this time, one holding a carrot and the other holding a fragrant pear, and they wanted to show off their knife skills to please the princess. Soon
, the five little sparrows were pulled out of the cage, and under the big hands of Old Li, they screamed and turned into five "little black sparrows".
The carrots and fragrant pears were also peeled and carved into the shapes of little rabbits and pigs, and placed next to the roasted sparrows as side dishes, which was very cute and made people more appetizing.
Old Li took out a small bamboo table, put all the food on the plate, and sent it to the little fat girl.
Little Nuobao couldn't wait and pulled Chun Ge'er to sit on the ground. The two of them ate so much that their cheeks were burnt black.
At this time, the village chief also came over and took Dawen and Xiaowu to find Feng.
"Don't you two have something to say to the boss?" He looked at the brothers with a smile.
Dawen and Xiaowu looked at each other, then one blushed and the other touched his head, and then he bowed to Feng.
It's not so much that they wanted to say something.
It's better to say that all the people in Beihe County want to do something for the boss.
"Old lady of the Dong family." Da Wen spoke first in a slow voice, "We still have a lot of vacant land on our farm. We want to pick a place to build a large house for your family to stay when you come to stay. What do you think?"
Xiao Wu nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Dong family, in order to settle us, you gave up your own house, so now we have free time, we want to build another one for you."
Feng was a little surprised.
In fact, she had this idea when she gave up the house, but she didn't expect Da Wen and the others to mention it.
The refugees in Beihe County are grateful to the Jiang family, but they don't know how to repay them. Fortunately, although they are disabled, they still have strength, so they want to repay the Dong family with more strength.
Anyway, now their house is built and the spring planting is over.
We have plenty of time, so building a house for our employer is a piece of cake.
Feng smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll trouble you. When the time comes, each person will be paid 100 coins a day. My family can't let it go for free."
Da Wen waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, old lady. We don't want the wages!"
Xiao Wu also said anxiously, "Yes, where can we get money? If you don't want us to work for nothing, just bring the little princess over to play more often in the future. When we see the little princess, we won't feel tired!"
The princess is so cute. If the house is built, she will definitely come more often. They couldn't ask for more.
Seeing them say this, Feng had to stop insisting.
She would use other methods to compensate them in the future.
At this time, Xiao Nuobao was staggering after eating so much, and he came over with his stomach in his arms, "That's great, burp~ Let's build the mansion as soon as possible, and finish it before summer, burp~ Then I can come to the manor to escape the heat, and Grandpa Li will give me roasted sparrows to eat in the evening, burp~"
Seeing that the little fat girl was burping, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Feng picked her up helplessly and rubbed her belly gently, "You are burping, and you still want to escape the heat and eat roasted sparrows. You should find your Grandpa Wu first and ask him to prescribe some digestive powder for you."
But when it comes to Doctor Wu.
At this time, he couldn't get his hands to redeem the digestive powder.
When Feng carried the little fat girl over, he saw that he was surrounded by a group of women, his face was flushed, and the corners of his mouth were so happy that he could hardly suppress it.
"No, no, ladies, you are too polite!"
"Curing the sick and saving lives is my job, hehe, why do I need any reward?"
It turned out that after many days of care, the women of each family had almost given up their addiction to ointment and could go home.
They have been working on the farm and doing housework for many days. Although their faces have been tanned, their bodies are healthier.
At first, they complained a lot when they were working.
But today, these women know that Doctor Wu is so well-intentioned.
They are very grateful and keep thanking Doctor Wu.
Doctor Wu was also praised so much that he felt like he was walking on cotton. He was dizzy and his beard was almost blown away.
Seeing that these women were in good health, Xiao Nuobao was happy for them and kept clapping his hands.
A breeze blew past the women's smiling faces and blew the rice seedlings in the fields.
Everything was so full of vitality and getting better and better!
Xiao Nuobao kicked his short legs with a smile.
He was thinking that the ladies had quit their addiction to ointment, and if his father knew, he would definitely be happy.
However, at this moment, a black light suddenly flashed through Xiao Nuobao's mind, and then she saw a dark and depressing scene with the rumbling of horses' hooves and the passage of the army!
"This is..." Xiao Nuobao widened her eyes in surprise, and her little face suddenly became serious, "Which army is this?"
How could she suddenly see this!
At the same time, at the Gu Mansion in Southern Province, a letter stained with sweat had just been delivered into the mansion.
The messenger killed three fast horses, but it took only twelve days to finally deliver Gu Changying's handwritten letter from the capital to the Jiangnan water town.
The square-faced man in a red robe opened the letter and his facial muscles trembled with excitement.
"Great! The old dove has left the nest, it seems that the gate of the capital is open to us!"
Gu Pingzhi raised his eyelids, revealing eagle-like black eyes, "Come on, quickly gather people to the capital."
"Finally, after so many years of waiting, the 200,000 private troops raised by my Gu family can finally be put to use!" Veins bulged on the back of his hands, and his voice became particularly low like a dragon due to excitement.
