Chapter 186 Premonition of the accident
The spring water was too warm, and the little guy was so comfortable that he grabbed his toes and his eyes were narrowed into slits.
If there were no guests coming, Xiao Nuobao really wanted to stay here and soak for a whole night.
Feng was tired after a day of work, and now soaking like this made her muscles and bones relax. She stretched out her old arms and legs and took a short rest. Then she began to rub Xiao Nuobao's hair.
But it was not good for children to soak for too long. After about a quarter of an hour, Feng took Xiao Nuobao out of the water and took a cloth to wipe him.
Xiao Nuobao was reluctant to leave, and deliberately shook his wet hair, splashing water droplets all over Feng.
"Mom, soak for a little longer, soak for a little longer~"
Mrs. Feng was afraid that her daughter's skin was too delicate, so she ignored her coquettishness and patted her little butt.
"If you soak your toes for a while longer, they will become wrinkled like chicken claws. Be careful that mom will get hungry at night and will grab them for you to chew." Mrs. Feng threatened with a smile.
Little Nuobao loved to be beautiful. When she heard that she was going to become a "chicken claw", she immediately retracted her hands and feet and obediently hugged Mrs. Feng's neck to go home. The next morning, when Little Nuobao woke up, she saw the copybook of elementary school calligraphy next to her pillow. The little guy couldn't help but feel disappointed, and fell back on the pillow, pretending to snore loudly. In the end, Mrs. Feng didn't let Little Nuobao go on the issue
of learning to read. She didn't really care how much the concubine could learn, after all, she was still a little kid. She just wanted to control this sweet girl with her studies, so that she wouldn't go to Xianquanju without scruples. What if she was really carried away one day? As for the job of teaching Nuobao, it was claimed by Xiao Lanyi and Jiang Fengze. Little Nuobao looked at the horizontal and vertical strokes and thought they were just ghost paintings. He felt sleepy after reading for a while, so he just threw the copybook on the kang. Fortunately, Jiang Fengze was a child. As long as his sister pouted, he would lose his principles and wanted to help Nuobao throw the copybook. "Sister, we don't want to learn anymore. Don't hurt your eyes." Jiang Fengze said in a good tone, and his heroic face was full of compromise. Xiao Lanyi leaned against the door frame, laughing: "Okay, you are fooling Sister Feng like this. I will complain when your mother comes back." But it was impossible for her to really complain. In the end, Jiang Fengze "swallowed his anger" and washed two piles of socks for Xiao Lanyi in exchange for confidentiality. Feng Miao came back from class and saw his third brother squatting at the door, rubbing a pile of stinky socks vigorously. He couldn't help but grab his hair, thinking that his third brother's tall image collapsed. He was so angry that he shouted: "Ah, Xiao Lanyi, you are stealing my sister from me, and you let my third brother wash my stinky socks. When I grow up and am taller than you, I will fight you!" A laugh came from the Jiang family yard, and it was unclear whether it was Xiao Lanyi's or Jiang Fengze's. Little Nuobao held his round belly and rolled on the kang with a smile. He rolled too hard and almost kicked Chun Ge'er in the face. Such days of constant laughter really make people feel peaceful. However, all this had to be briefly interrupted when Dean Wei came to Xianquanju again! Dean Wei's career was not smooth because he was unwilling to bow his head and bend his back. That's why he gave up his fame and lived in seclusion, concentrating on opening an academy to educate people. Fortunately, although he was not proud, he was fortunate to have a few like-minded classmates to accompany him, which was a comfort. On this day, Dean Wei brought his old friends to Xianquanju and wanted to have a small gathering for two days. "My old friends are now working in other places. It's rare that they can spare a few days of leisure. I thought of bringing them here and letting them experience the beautiful scenery here." Dean Wei bowed and said to Feng as soon as he entered the door. Feng had already reserved a few upper rooms and nodded hurriedly: "Dean Wei, please come in quickly. When Feng Jing came back yesterday, he had already told us about this. I specially arranged for you to take a bath in the afternoon. You can come in together without being disturbed by outsiders." Dean Wei hurriedly thanked him and took his friends to find a private seat in the lobby. Hearing that the uncle dean was coming, Xiao Nuobao didn't care about the "morning restrictions" and ran over happily to find Dean Wei for a hug. She also brought some Persian radishes with her, and she hugged them full. When she saw Dean Wei, she couldn't hold them in her arms anymore, and they all rolled to the ground. Dean Wei smiled and picked up the radishes. "Come and try them. You can't eat them outside. They are heavenly products." He cut the radishes into several large pieces and placed them proudly on the table. Several old friends started eating them, and their eyes lit up after taking a bite. They thought it was incredible. "No wonder Brother Wei always mentioned this Dalui Village in his letters. There are such delicious foods and beautiful scenery here. If it were me, I would be worried about it all day long." One of the men sighed. Dean Wei couldn't help but raise his lips and held Little Nuobao in his arms: "No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it's not as good as Nuobao. What really worries me is this little guy." Little Nuobao laughed and grabbed the remaining radish pieces and sent them to the uncles. "Uncles, please eat. Although outsiders can't buy Persian radishes, you are all friends of the dean uncle, so I, Nuobao, will take care of these radishes for you!" The soft and cute little girl shook her head and patted her chest to guarantee, which made everyone's heart melt, and they envied Dean Wei. At this time, Feng was carrying tea and snacks to this table. Seeing Xiao Nuobao coming to Xianquanju again, Feng was stunned at first, then hummed and shook her head, and wanted to spank her little butt. Xiao Nuobao stuck out her tongue and quickly pulled Dean Wei's big hand to cover her little face. Mother can't see it~ Mother can't see it! With Dean Wei as a shield, Feng had to tap her forehead: "Wait until you get home!" Knowing that her mother's temper would only last for a while, and there was no such thing as " settling accounts later", Xiao Nuobao was relieved and laughed so hard that her baby fat was shaking. Dean Wei and his old friends didn't know what was going on at first, but after listening to Feng's explanation, they looked at the grinning little guy and laughed. However, sometimes joy is inevitably short-lived. After laughing, everyone chatted for a while and talked about their recent situation. Then a man with a high bun frowned and sighed. He was a good friend of Dean Wei when he was studying with the same dormitory. Now he was in charge of grain and weapons in the prefecture, and was a transport officer of some importance.
"It's a rare opportunity to be out with you all. I shouldn't say such sad words, but there are some things I just can't help but say." The man with a high bun clenched his fists, his knuckles were blue.
"Do you know that some Tartars have come to the city recently, and they have been harassing the surrounding areas these days. They have harmed more than a dozen people, either robbing money and food or kidnapping young women!" He only said a few words, and his voice became hoarse with anger.
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed drastically: "What, there is such a thing?"
Dean Wei said anxiously: "The Tartars have not dared to enter our Nanji country for decades. Now they suddenly come to harass us. I'm afraid they are trying to find out our internal situation. Has this matter been reported to the court? Have people been sent to hunt them down?!"
The man punched the table.
"This is the most infuriating thing! The prefect did nothing and insisted that the matter was not worth mentioning and that it was not worth going to Beijing to bother the imperial teacher. The prefectural soldiers were just freeloaders. They said they were going to hunt down the Tartars, but... they were playing cards in the casino all day long! They simply ignored the safety of the people!" He shouted.
Xiao Nuobao stopped smiling sweetly and quickly raised her ears, listening seriously.
What? The Tartars are invading?
This is a big deal.
She has to think about it!
