Chapter 218 The children of the General's Mansion are not bad

From the time of exile to the time of life in Yamen Village, Jing Chunxi briefly talked about the most important things, including the hardships, the pressure of life, and the sufferings of his family members. The only thing he did not mention was the death or injury of his family members.

She also told them the expectations of their elders. During Jing Chunxi's speech, the classroom was very quiet from beginning to end. The children wanted to remember every word and every thing she said to them.

Wu Tou was sitting closer to the front. As he listened, his face became tense and his palms were clenched into balls. He must have heard it all.

Even those who were still in the arms and didn't understand, at first they blinked their big eyes and stared at the beautiful sister in front of them, but after listening for a long time, some of them sucked their fingers, and some played with the maids' hanging hair. Only one little one was a little noisy and was carried out.

After the letters were distributed to every room, the children became excited again, but they only looked happy or had trembling hands and feet, but did not make any loud noises.

Jing Yongcheng's family had the fewest children, but they also received the most letters from home. Everyone was thinking about their children. This was also because Jing Yongcheng had asked them to write more letters to their children, to show more care and encouragement, so that they could always feel the thoughts of their distant relatives.

He, the old lady, and Jing Yongning set an example by writing a letter every ten days. They also required the elders of each family to write to the younger ones of their family, and the older brothers and sisters to write to the younger brothers and sisters, so the letters alone were a huge pile.

The other two rooms also received quite a few, five or six each.

The least affected were the five heads of the family that had just been making the loudest noises. They received three letters in total, one of which was written by Erlang, but in the tone of their elders.

The other two letters did not exist. In their family, only Jing Changming and Jing Changdu were left without concubines. Only Jing Changdu's two-year-old daughter stayed in Beijing. When he was exiled last year, his daughter was just learning to speak and could not understand the letters at all. After being away for several months, she might even have forgotten what her parents looked like.

So they just came as a family to beg Sister Xi and their aunt to help take care of their child. All they sent were two sets of small clothes that her mother had made from old clothes, a small pillow, and a small doll.

Jing Chunxi smiled and comforted them, telling them not to worry, saying that there were maids to take care of the child, and that his daughter would have no worries about food and clothing in the farm, and the clothes she wore were better than theirs. At that time, Jing Changdu's wife was very embarrassed, probably because she felt that the things she gave were too old.

They knew their children's general situation, as Jing Qiurong's letters had detailed instructions for their placement. But after all, they were her own children, and she still felt deeply for them. Even if she didn't wear them herself, she wanted to make them for them, her motherly love evident.

But later, seeing that the two brothers had not expressed any gratitude to the other legitimate children in the family, they were called over by Jing Yongcheng and the old lady and taught a lesson. They were asked to put aside their past grudges and not to vent the grievances between the elders on the younger generations. They were also required to write a reply letter every ten days, and to write in the tone of legitimate elders, so those two extra letters were written.

Jing Yongcheng and the old lady also have a good conscience.

I don’t know if Jing Changming and Jing Changdu also taught their children after they returned home. His children were quite sensible. Even though they didn’t have money to buy shells, they still took the time to pick up a lot of shells on the beach and brought them all back to them.

Although the shells are not as beautiful as the ones you buy, they are good gifts for children who have never seen the sea.

In addition, Jing Chunxi and the little dumplings bought a lot, so I gave some to them, so the food was finally acceptable.

So after reading those letters and gifts, the fifth one seemed to be shocked and lowered his head, and the sixth one was the same.

While they were distributing gifts, Jing Chunxi continued to tell them about the reality that their elders were also organizing spring plowing and had to dig the ground and plant crops.

The children were given a general understanding of the local customs and practices of Yamen Village, as well as the village's current situation. They learned that their elder brothers and sisters who had moved there weren't there to enjoy themselves, but also to endure the hardships of farming. They also diligently studied and practiced martial arts there, hoping, like them, to revive their family's legacy.

He also encouraged those who studied literature to strive for an imperial examination, and those who practiced martial arts to become generals in the future. This once again inspired the children's spirits, and they all secretly put in their best efforts.

Jing Chunxi mentioned a few more things to Wutou's family, saying that although the elders there didn't write many replies, whenever they got together, they would talk about the children at home and they still missed them very much. He also asked Jing Chunxi to bring a message to them, letting them know that the elders had actually given them many instructions, asking them to study hard, strive for excellence, unite and be kind to their younger siblings, and not fight among themselves. He kept talking until Wutou and Liutou believed it and were obviously comforted, and even the younger siblings at home were smiling.

After the children received their own gifts, they didn't dare to come forward to ask any more questions, but they were reluctant to leave.

What Jing Chunxi didn't expect was that when Aunt Mi finally got the order to disband, the children didn't run away immediately. Instead, another child gave the order, and they all stood up and bowed to them at the same time, saying, "Thank you, Auntie! Thank you, Miss Xi! (Cousin Xi)"

This was something Jing Chunxi had not expected. The children's expressions were all very respectful, but she didn't hear clearly whether it was Cousin Xi or Miss Xi who said thank you.

When the children left, they bowed to them in front of the podium before leaving one after another. They looked very happy and only let themselves go after they left the door, chattering outside the classroom.

Only the five children from the General's Mansion were not anxious. Their belongings were carried by the three older children. They were not in a hurry to go out like the other children, but were waiting quietly for their aunt and her group.

Jing Mingrong specifically instructed Aunt Mi to pull Bilian aside to talk, and Jing Chunxi and Pu Ge'er also slowed down to let the eldest Jing Mingyao and Jing Congxuan catch up.

Jing Qiurong instructed Bilian: "After school tomorrow, all of you should go over there. Your family has brought you a lot of things."

The gifts their family brought back couldn't be that few. Not only did they bring a lot of things for Jing Qiurong and Pu Ge'er, but they also brought three red envelopes for the New Year.

The gifts for the younger generation in the family are naturally not that simple. Last time, I had just arrived in the village and had no time to prepare, so I only sent back shells.

This time the family had good fabrics and a long period of free time during the New Year, so all the women in the family joined in and made clothes and embroidery for the children in the farm. However, following the old lady's instructions, they also made underwear, handkerchiefs, purses and other things for the children in the family.

Jing Qiurong specifically told them not to make outerwear, saying that the embroiderers at home had already prepared them, and she was worried that they didn't know the children's current sizes and would waste them. So the clothes they prepared for the children were all close-fitting and oversized.

Even Nanny Wang prepared gifts for them. Even Lin, who had just joined their big family, asked how many boys and girls there were in the family, and embroidered purses for them and sewn several small school bags for them.

Of course, all these things cannot be taken to the classroom to be distributed, otherwise the children in other rooms will be very disappointed. Judging from the expressions of the five and six children just now, children's minds are still easily affected.

"Let's take it now. It's not good to have too many people see it during the day." Jing Mingyao was very sensible. He knew there were a lot of good things when he heard her say that.

The other four children were so happy that they couldn't wait to get their hands on the gift. Even Jing Mingyan, who was in Bilian's arms, was jumping for joy and dancing with joy. It was too dark, and even if she struggled, she couldn't get up or down.

"Alright, let's go get it now, but don't make a fuss so late when we get back. Bilian asked them to go to bed early.

Also, as I said earlier, my grandparents suffered hardship in the past, and their conditions weren't as good as Zhuangzi's, so don't be picky about the gifts they give you."

Several children answered loudly: "No!"

Jing Mingyan said: "...Yes!"

Jing Mingyao added, "What the elders give me is the best. I will make sure my brothers and sisters cherish it."

Bilian is also an honest person, otherwise she would have run away long ago. Now she nodded, knowing that the eldest lady still cared about her and brought gifts for her and the child in her arms. She was in a good mood.

She was originally Zhuang's dowry and had a very close relationship with her daughter. It was also she who personally sent her daughter to Jing Chang'an's bed when she was pregnant, so there was no grudge between the two.

Bilian replied, "The four children are all very sensible. They are secretly making gifts and say they will give them to the elders at home when they write next time."

Jing Qiurong looked at the children behind her and nodded, "Children from the General's Mansion are not bad. Don't embarrass your grandparents."

The children all nodded, indicating that they would not. Over the past four months, the children of the General's Mansion had been the least of their worries. They were not arrogant just because Jing Qiurong was their aunt, and they never bullied the children of other families.
