Chapter 40 Taking my younger brothers and sisters out
"Let me remind you, your Zhuifeng is a donkey. Don't mess with my Ruhua so casually, or she will be unhappy."
Miss Jiang was very flexible and drank the bowl of cold water her sister poured at her.
"What happened to the donkey? Did it delay my family's handsome performance? It just accidentally took the wrong path during its reincarnation. I believe it will be able to ride away in full glory at the racecourse at the end of the month!"
"Oh, you're really bold. Can you guess why that horse ranch is called a horse ranch?"
Jiang Wan stretched out his finger, pushed his sister's big head away from his shoulder, then turned around and looked at her.
"You're small and weak, so it's not a disadvantage that you can't ride a tall horse. If you really can't do it, just give up on the second-level archery. But if you put a donkey on it, what will happen then? Do you think Master Zhao would agree?"
Seriously speaking, Princess Huai really cared deeply about the children at the Li Family Academy. Although she did have some other concerns, she definitely didn't mistreat anyone.
The six arts of a gentleman and the eight graces of a woman were all taught without exception. Her teaching methods were clearly based on the upbringing standards of children from aristocratic families. She did everything she could to give these children the best education possible.
For children from small families or poor families, there are many tasks that their families cannot afford to support them, not to mention the Jiang family who just came from farming families.
In fact, if the Jiang family hadn't been so lucky and hadn't happened to meet the distressed Xu daughter, then under normal circumstances, the children of the Jiang family would probably be illiterate.
No one knows how much patience Xu had over the years to teach a silly child to write crooked words on the sand table by pinching a branch.
Whenever Jiang Wan thinks of his mother's sacrifices, he becomes more compassionate towards his two younger siblings.
"If you're afraid of being laughed at, can I talk to Master Zhao about it for you tomorrow? It's not shameful to be afraid of riding a horse. Who are you arguing with?"
"How can it not be embarrassing? You don't even know that damned Li Laowu, who's been colluding with Jiang Laosan to point fingers at me all day long. If I fail the second grade of archery again this time, those two will definitely laugh at me to death behind my back!"
Jiang Han was so angry that he wanted to jump up and down.
Jiang Laosan, who is from the same mother as Jiang Laosan, is very annoying, and Li Laowu, who has the same bad taste as Jiang Laosan, is also very annoying!
"Sister, I've already made an appointment with Qingqing. Today we're going to the outskirts of the city to learn horseback riding and archery."
"Why, Sun Qingqing is also riding a donkey?"
"hold head high!"
Jiang Wan's mouth twitched.
"Are all the kids in your Xuanzi class already so clever and competitive?"
Jiang Han pouted her rosy little mouth and kept muttering with an unhappy look on her face.
"You don't know how annoying those boys are. Jiang Lao San and Li Lao Wu are the most annoying! And Chang Yuhao and Ji Minzhi are not good either. They especially like to eavesdrop on us girls' private conversations.
The same goes for Guo Ziqian. He always pretends to be very smart in front of me and always calls me stupid.
Humph, I don't want him to teach me. I have the most amazing elder sister! Just wait for me to make a big splash in the future!"
Children don't have extraneous thoughts, at least not the silly second and third children in the family. But Jiang Wan had seen those so-called annoying boys in the Xuanzi class, and she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in amusement.
Her sister just celebrated her ninth birthday a few days ago, yet she's already so eye-catching?
However, I really need to take good care of my own juicy little cabbage. Otherwise, if some brat from some family takes it away with the pot, I guess my father will cry to death in front of my mother.
"Alright. Go get ready first, and let the third brother know so he can come train with you. I'll go to Anranju and report to Mother, and then I'll take you out to meet your classmate."
"Thank you, elder sister!"
Jiang Han thanked her happily and turned to leave contentedly. He heard his sister giving him a few more instructions behind him.
"Go change into some proper riding clothes. Don't wear a skirt that's restrictive. Your technique isn't good to begin with, so don't make it any harder."
"I know!"
As soon as the words fell, the petite figure rushed back to her room.
Lu Guo, who was serving the second young lady, bowed very politely to the eldest young lady before quickly chasing after her master.
Hongzhu, holding the snow-blue, floor-length, gold-sprinkled dress that she had just chosen for her master, stood aside and asked with a smile.
"So, Miss, are you going to wear this skirt or your riding clothes today?"
Jiang Wan reached out and touched the beautiful skirt. Ever since her appearance had been successfully upgraded, her mother always dressed her and her sisters in different styles within the limited household budget.
"Put this skirt away for now. I'll wear it for you next time I have time. Find your red riding clothes; they'll make riding easier."
"Yes, Master, please wait a moment. I will go and change it right away."
He returned to the chest and put the dress back where it was. He then opened another rosewood chest and took out the fiery red riding clothes.
Holding it in front of her master, Hongzhu still smiled.
"My dear young lady, you have fair skin and beautiful features. You will look stunning in this bright red dress! Today, I will give you a simple hairstyle. How about tying your hair with that ruby crown?"
"Just do it as you see fit. The simpler the better. I have to go to Mom's place quickly, otherwise the second brother will definitely come to urge me again soon."
"Then I will help you get dressed."
"No, I can dress myself. Go get the hairdressing supplies ready, and we'll finish this quickly."
"yes."
Jiang Wan quickly changed her clothes, shoes and socks, and with Hongzhu's skillful hands, she gathered all her hair behind her head, combed it into a simple ponytail hairstyle, and put the ruby crown on her head, and she was done.
"Walk."
She hurriedly went to the main courtyard with her maid. After being welcomed in by Sister Ziyu who was beside her mother, she found that not only her mother was busy in the house, but her grandparents were also there.
"May grandparents be healthy, and mother be healthy."
When paying respects, it is basically time to check academic performance, and Jiang Wan's movements are very standard every time he pays respects.
After calling her eldest daughter, Madam Xu sighed softly inwardly. This child was so proud and would probably never learn how to be humble. But fortunately, she could still pretend to be submissive for the sake of appearances, which was not bad at all.
"You came here so early in the morning, but do you have something to talk to me about?"
The Jiang family does not have the rules of morning and evening visits for the time being. The elders in the family love their children and are reluctant to bother them.
"Mom, I'm planning to take the second and third kids out for a horseback ride soon, so I came to tell you. I won't be back for lunch, but I'll bring them back early this afternoon."
Jiang Wan had just finished speaking, and before Mrs. Xu could respond, Mrs. Wang, who was sitting next to her, opened her mouth first.
“Nonsense!”
