Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

Meng Yuanjun felt tired intuitively. He really spoiled his sister too much.

In the past, apart from the masters like them, the rest were servants or maids, and there was a hierarchy.

In the past, I thought she was innocent and naive, but who knew...

"Ah~"

Meng Yuanjun sighed deeply and left.

When Meng Yuanjin saw his eldest sister leave, he immediately stood up unwillingly and sat down on the stool.

Seeing her like this, Meng Yuanhua knew that she didn't listen much and was a little disappointed.

But he still stayed patiently and tried to persuade her.

"Be obedient and go apologize to Miss Xu."

"Why? How can she, a merchant's daughter, be worthy of this?"

She was extremely reluctant.

Meng Yuanhua suppressed his anger and said, "She is not an ordinary merchant girl."

Meng Yuanjin snorted disdainfully, "Isn't he just an imperial merchant? So what if he's an imperial merchant? He's still a city resident."

"The Xu family is not from the city."

"What?" Meng Yuanjin naturally didn't believe it.

Meng Yuanhua glanced at her and asked, "Do you know where the Xu family came from? Why are they merchants but not businessmen?"

Meng Yuanjin had no idea and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

"When the Great Xia Dynasty was founded, the Xu family had served the emperor well. The founding ancestor originally wanted to bestow great honors upon the Xu family, but the then-Patriarch of the Xu family was a rare and understanding person. He bluntly stated that the Xu family did not need any special honors, and that all the clan members needed to establish themselves in the world based on their own merits. The ancestor greatly appreciated this, but felt compelled to not bestow the honors, lest he discourage loyal ministers. So he asked the Patriarch of the Xu family if he had any other requests."

"Guess how Patriarch Xu asked for it?"

Meng Yuanjin shook his head again. Seeing that she was still so ignorant after all Meng Yuanhua had said, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"The head of the Xu family said that the Great Xia Dynasty was just established and the treasury was unstable, so he needed to replenish it. He was stupid and uneducated, and the emperor was busy with government affairs. He was willing to contribute to the country and his family through business, and would pay six-tenths of his annual earnings to the treasury. He only asked the emperor not to change the Xu family's household registration to city registration."

"At that time, the empire was just beginning to settle down. Talent and money were in high demand, just as it is today. Our ancestors were deeply moved after hearing this and decreed that the Xu family be made imperial merchants for generations, with 40% of their annual income to be turned over to the national treasury, and they were granted official status. So, although the Xu family were merchants, they were aristocrats. So, do you think you could offend the Xu family?"

"The youngest generation of the Xu family only has two daughters. The second daughter has been in poor health since she was young, and the family dotes on her. If you cause any harm today, we won't be able to save you."

Meng Yuanhua didn't want to go into details about the other things. In any case, it was not easy to offend the Xu family.

"Second sister, how come you all knew all this? You didn't even tell me."

Meng Yuanjin was a little scared at this time, and also blamed his brothers and sisters.

Meng Yuanhua glared at her and tapped her forehead fiercely. "Have you forgotten what father told us when he left?"

"Father didn't say that. He just told me to be kind and control my temper."

"Ah, forget it. You're such a blockhead. Think about it carefully and apologize to Miss Xu later. Also, be kind to others. Please control your temper here. No one will spoil you here. If you suffer any harm, we won't help you."

Meng Yuanhua was really helpless with his sister and hoped that she would suffer less punishment.

"How's the advice going? Did you listen?"

Meng Yuanjun didn't walk far either. She stood in the yard in a daze. When she heard footsteps, she turned around and saw it was her second sister.

"I've said everything I need to say. Let her think about it herself. She always acts so recklessly and without regard for the seriousness of the situation, and she is so domineering and doesn't know how to restrain herself. Sooner or later, she will suffer the consequences."

The two sisters looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.

Meng Yuanjin thought about everything carefully in the room and knew that he shouldn't have done that.

She couldn't bring herself to admit her mistake, but she was also afraid that if she didn't apologize, her elder sister would send her back, and then her father and mother would definitely not forgive her.

Finally, he reluctantly left the room, apologized to Miss Xu Er awkwardly, and then locked himself in the room and sulked.

"Look at her, she's so reluctant even after doing something wrong."

Xu Wuyou looked down on Meng San very much, and when he saw her like that, he didn't even give her a serious look.

Ming Miaoren disagreed, "You, too, should control your temper. After all, she is a daughter of the royal family. It is not for us, as subjects, to pick on her."

Xu Wuyou curled his lips and whispered, "Yes, Fifth Grandmother."

"No illness, are you feeling unwell?"

Miss Xu looked depressed, but she smiled and tried to comfort them, "I'm fine, Fifth Grandmother."

Ming Miaoren felt so distressed when she looked at her.

"Sister Wubing, don't stay in your room all the time. Go out and get some fresh air. When the weather gets warmer, you can follow us and train with Master Qi."

Qing Ning asked her and she found out that it was not a heart disease or something like that, and that proper exercise would be good for her.

"What Qing Ning said is that getting some fresh air is good for your health."

Ming Miaoren advised with a smile.

"Come on, sister, I'll go out with you and take a look. The scenery in this countryside is no worse than the garden at home, and there are many interesting things here."

Xu Wuyou helped her up, and the maid also added hand guards and a cloak for her. Then she went out with the others.

The little thing was quickly forgotten, and they got along quite naturally with each other.

March is here in a blink of an eye. It is the season when grass grows and birds sing, and the spring breeze brings warmth to all things and new life.

The two sisters played chess in the study, leaning against the window and looking at the new colors in the yard.

"Put that chess piece back."

Qingzhu was anxious, and Qingning had to put the chess piece back when he saw that he had been discovered.

"You know how to make a move without regrets? How many moves have you regretted?"

"No way."

Qing Ning protested softly in dissatisfaction.

"Hurry up, it's so shameless to play chess like this."

Qing Ning glanced at the chessboard, feeling a little dizzy, and randomly chose a place to place the piece.

"Hahaha, you, you really are! No wonder no one wants to play chess with you. You're such a bad chess player! Even Li Jing plays better than you."

Qing Ning pouted, expressing dissatisfaction. "There are always things that people are good at and bad at. I'm just not good at chess, but I'm good at horse riding and archery."

"Okay, okay, whatever you say makes sense."

"Ouch!"

"Be careful"

The two sisters looked outside at the same time and saw Qin Zheng carefully supporting Qingke.

When they looked up, they saw Qingzhu and Qingning staring at them, and they quickly separated.

Qin Zheng hurriedly explained, "I just saw Qingke sister accidentally slip and almost fall, so I helped her up."

"I was not careful when walking, it's not the elder brother from the Qin family's fault."

The more they talked, the more embarrassed their expressions became.

Qingzhu and Qingning looked at the two of them in confusion. Why were they so eager to explain? They didn't ask.

Seeing that the two of them were still looking at them like this, they ran away.

Qin Zheng was worried, so he turned around and said to Qingke's back, "Sister Qingke, you are injured. Be careful and go slowly."

After saying that, he glanced at the window and saw that the two were still staring at him, so he immediately turned and left.

Qingke pretended not to hear and walked even faster.

Seeing Qingke ignoring Qin Zheng, Qingzhu thought her elder sister didn't hear her, so she kindly called out, "Elder sister, the elder brother of the Qin family told you to walk slowly and be careful not to get hurt."

After hearing this shout, the two of them ran even faster.

Qingzhu asked inexplicably, "What are they doing?"

Qing Ning shook her head, "I don't know."
