Chapter 278 Big Brother, I'm the Captain
"Young master, please slow down!"
Following behind Shen Muyang, Gu Xiang slowly ran over. Upon seeing Ning Bao, Gu Xiang quickly and warmly greeted her.
"Ningbao is here, come in quickly."
The old woman guarding the gate saw how warmly the steward treated the little girl, and that her own young master had also run over.
Although Shen Muyang has been practicing martial arts with the children in the small team recently, he has only been practicing the most basic techniques.
Shen Muyang, having caught his breath, looked at Ning Bao.
"Did Ningbao come to call me for training?"
Ning Bao nodded seriously.
"Yes. Brother Mu Yang's training is very important, we can't slack off."
Shen Muyang nodded slightly apologetically.
"Yes, Ningbao is right. I shouldn't have made Ningbao wake me up when I overslept today."
Ningbao and Shen Muyang walked out as they talked.
Seeing this, Gu Xiang quickly called out to them.
"Ningbao, young master."
The young lady said you should all come over for breakfast together, and you can exercise after breakfast.
Ning Bao shook his head seriously.
"no!
My senior brother said that practicing martial arts on an empty stomach in the morning is most effective.
Exercising right after eating is bad for your health.
"Grandpa Butler, you can play by yourself. We're going to exercise."
When Ning Bao and Shen Muyang arrived, the other members of the team had already reached the open space at the entrance of the manor.
Fourteen-year-old Gu Kaizhen walked out of the manor. Although he was the son of the prefect, he was not spoiled.
Gu Kaizhen was very self-disciplined from a young age, not only excelling in his studies but also keeping up with his martial arts training.
Moreover, he was already old enough to remember when his grandfather and aunt had their accidents. The changes in his family made him realize that in an imperial society, a large family could fall down at any time.
This is entirely a matter of a single word from those in power. If you want to survive and your family's, you must improve yourself. Only with strong personal abilities can you find a way to survive at any time.
When Ningbao walked over, she saw that her brother and the other team members were dressed very cleanly and neatly today, unlike the patched clothes they wore when they were traveling before. This discovery made Ningbao feel very happy.
Today, not only are the children dressed clean and tidy, but all the villagers are also dressed very cleanly.
Lin Dajiang, who had gotten up early to wait outside for the yamen runners to measure the foundation, couldn't help but sigh when he saw everyone dressed in clean clothes.
"Ah! We can finally live like human beings."
Lin Jianfei looked at his clean clothes with some confusion.
"Dad, shouldn't we keep a low profile since we've just arrived here?"
"We don't look like refugees at all dressed like this, is that inappropriate?"
Lin Dajiang glared at his son.
“What’s wrong with it? We’re not wearing silk or satin, just ordinary coarse cloth clothes.”
Besides, the clothes we wear now are no different from those of refugees, except they are a bit cleaner, making us look more like ordinary villagers.
We are refugees, not beggars. In the past, we couldn't change our clothes every day while traveling, and if we dressed too cleanly on the road, we would be easily robbed.
Things are different now. We're home now, so there's no need for us to get ourselves all dirty.
Moreover, we are now staying on someone else's estate, and although the host family hasn't said anything, we should still take the initiative to keep the place clean.
And when we go out, do you feel that the people around you prefer you when you're clean and tidy, or when you're dirty and slovenly?
Lin Jianfei said something a little embarrassed.
"Clean and tidy!"
Lin Dajiang nodded.
"Yes, it's better to be clean; it makes you feel more comfortable."
It doesn't matter if our clothes are good or bad, but cleanliness is the most basic requirement.
…………
The children from Ningbao's group have all gathered and are warming up.
As Gu Kaizhen emerged, he couldn't resist walking over to the group of busy children.
"Why are you exercising here? I know a great place that's perfect for exercising, would you like to go?"
A nice place?
Team leader Ning Bao nodded.
"go!"
"Big brother, are you out exercising too? Then you lead the way and we'll follow behind!"
Gu Kaizhen glanced at the other children who were standing obediently in the open space, and Ning Bao was clearly the youngest.
But he had just noticed that Ningbao was at the very front of the line, and only Ningbao was speaking while the other children remained silent and were still training diligently.
It seems...
The little girl in front of them is their leader.
Gu Kaizhen thought this through and asked it directly.
"Is Ning Bao their leader?"
Boss?
Ning Bao was stunned for a moment; she was the youngest!
No, Ningbao's little brain was working quickly; what her older brother was saying didn't seem to be the order of siblings in the family.
Ningbao patted her little chest, looking at Gu Kaizhen with a proud expression.
"Big brother, I'm the captain!"
Gu Kaizhen: "…………"
