Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

Jiang Zifeng was not beaten.

Her mother is reasonable in some matters.

"Do you know how many experts are hiding in that house? Going there like this, have you thought about the consequences? What if you get caught and no one knows where you are? How are your aunt and I supposed to rescue you?"

When the night was deep and quiet, Lu Qingyao summoned her two sons.

The second child, seemingly focused solely on his studies and oblivious to the world around him, is actually quite perceptive and knows everything.

The eldest son is straightforward and honest. His tricks with Cui Xingzhou couldn't even fool the youngest one, let alone his mother.

Jiang Zifeng lowered her head and said, "Mom, I understand. I'll definitely tell you in advance next time I go out."

Mother's words make perfect sense. That village is a dangerous place, and if they go there rashly, they may never return.

Next time I go out, I should leave a letter for my mother.

Lu Qingyao: ...

Is that what I mean?

I just want this kid to stay away.

“Feng’er, what I mean is, don’t act rashly.” Lu Qingyao rubbed her forehead.

"I know, Mother. I won't act rashly. I'll definitely invite you or Aunt Xiuxiu next time." Jiang Zifeng thought his mother's idea was brilliant; after all, they couldn't go alone.

Jiang Ziyan chuckled and served her a cup of tea to comfort her mother, "Mother, don't worry about it. I'll take care of my eldest brother."

With the second brother's words, Lu Qingyao's headache didn't hurt so much anymore.

Jiang Miaomiao was playing with tangrams on a small cushion when she looked up and saw her mother rubbing her temples.

He let out a long sigh.

Oh dear! My older brother has angered Mom again.

What a troublesome kid...

The next morning.

A gentle spring breeze caresses the face, birds sing, and flowers bloom.

Orioles sing and swallows dance; red petals flutter by the flowing water under the small bridge. [1]

Jiang Miaomiao was still asleep when her mother pulled her out of bed.

The brothers are off work today and are going to go for a spring outing.

It was also a way to take Qiao'er to relax.

Mother, Aunt Xiuxiu, eldest and second eldest brothers, Sister Qiao'er, Sister Yuan, Sun Yanshu, and a large group of people.

The girls huddled together in one carriage, chattering excitedly, while the rest rode horses.

Aunt Xiuxiu asked Princess Rong'an: Why didn't Princess Liang, Prince Liang, and Young Master Cui come?

Putting everything else aside, that young master Cui is a notorious playboy in Jiangzhou. How could he be absent from horseback riding, flower viewing, and football?

It's strange that he didn't come today, which is unprecedented.

Princess Rong'an said that her mother and younger brother were busy sorting out accounts, and that the accounts of the Jiangzhou estate and shops over the years had to be checked. They were extremely busy.

Her father was unable to manage affairs, so her mother and younger brother had to handle all matters, big and small, in Liangzhou and the Liang Prince's Mansion, keeping them so busy that they were rarely seen.

When Cui Xingzhou's father found out about stealing the Akhal-Teke horse, Prefect Cui, disliking his idleness and boundless energy, dragged him to the prefectural office to do hard labor.

I took a temporary job.

He's now a temporary constable for the government office, patrolling the streets and alleys.

But this was exactly what he wanted.

As for little Cao Jiayue, she dared not see Miaomiao.

I don't want to go anywhere; I just want to chase butterflies in my own garden.

King Jing took on the responsibility of teaching her and looking after King Liang, and would recite poems to them in his spare time to relieve their boredom.

They're just different sizes, and they pronounce them differently.

Young children recite the Three Character Classic, while older children recite the Book of Poetry.

Then the children and adults all fell asleep while reading.

Princess Rong'an felt that her eldest nephew was doing it on purpose. Every time he chanted the sutras, he could make people fall asleep, yet he still had to chant them every time.

Everyone laughed; it turned out that King Jing had this side to him.

Seeing Sister Yuan laughing so hard she was doubled over, Jiang Miaomiao felt that she was cured.

Perhaps she wasn't sick at all.

However, it seems like Sister Fu Yuan has been living at her home for a long time now, and she comes to see her every day.

She had none of the airs of a princess.

Laughing and laughing all the way.

The person who was sick has recovered.

She was crying yesterday, but now she's laughing heartily.

The carriage drove into a farm, which contained not only fields but also vast grasslands.

Horses frolic, cattle and sheep graze in herds.

The horses are all fine steeds; they were there all along.

My mother added the cattle and sheep later.

Mother took her brothers to play polo, and when they were short-handed, they called in the tenants from the farm.

Princess Rong'an cheered for them.

Her mother would occasionally let her play and teach her some polo skills.

Jiang Miaomiao discovered that this sport combines equestrianism, ball games, and strategic thinking.

Of course, to learn how to play polo, you must first learn how to ride a horse.

Princess Rong'an already knew some of these skills, as did most women from prominent families.

My mother said that every year the palace holds a Cuju (ancient Chinese football) competition, and princesses, young ladies from noble families, and other high-ranking officials also participate.

The polo field thus became one of the very few ways for young men and women to meet.

Of course, Mother didn't bring them here for a matchmaking event today.

But if they want to meet, there's no stopping them.

Aunt Xiuxiu set out tea, snacks, and fruit platters, gave Qiao'er a few instructions, and then disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Miaomiao then fell into Qiao'er's arms.

"Sister Qiao, where's Auntie? Where did she go?"

"She went to the woods over there to pick wild fruits and hunt rabbits. We'll definitely be able to eat roasted rabbit soon." Jiang Qiao'er swallowed hard.

They took out a kite and flew it with the little girl, since the two of them were the only ones there who didn't know how to ride a horse or play ball.

Children love the large lawns and the herds of cattle and sheep.

You can run around and play as much as you want on it.

You can let yourself go.

"Miaomiao, be careful not to roll into cow dung," Sister Qiao'er suddenly said.

The little girl suddenly felt that the grassland was no longer appealing.

I want to see cattle and sheep.

It climbed onto Jiang Xiaobai's back.

Princess Rong'an saw two figures, one big and one small, chasing after cattle and sheep. The little white wolf was carrying the little girl, and after running a short distance, it would turn back to wait for Qiao'er.

That looks interesting.

She rode her horse and caught up with her, pulling Qiao'er onto her back.

The group chased after them.

We entered a grove of trees next to the grassland.

As they ran, the girls disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Mother, my sisters are missing." Jiang Ziyan was the first to notice.

My sister was just chasing sheep there, how come she disappeared in the blink of an eye?

"Go find them quickly, they're over there." Lu Qingyao spotted a red dot in the woods in the distance.

Jiang Miaomiao discovered that there were also bamboo shoots and bamboo fungus in the forest, but no one was picking them, which was a waste of resources.

Qiao'er also saw the bamboo shoots. "Let's pick some bamboo fungus and bamboo shoots to take back. We can make bamboo shoot and bamboo fungus soup later when we set up a campfire."

Fresh bamboo fungus soup is also absolutely delicious.

Paired with Aunt Xiuxiu's roasted rabbit and roasted pheasant, it becomes an absolute delicacy.

Lunch is sorted out for today.

Princess Rong'an was in high spirits; it was her first time experiencing this kind of life, and she felt as if she had discovered a new continent.

The three of them then began searching in the woods.

The child wasn't interested in finding bamboo shoots or anything like that; she was looking for little insects.

Her older brother made her a small bamboo tube specifically for keeping crickets and other insects.

Actually, she was more interested in finding bamboo worms, a type of small insect that can be fried and eaten, hidden inside bamboo nodes.

It's fragrant and crispy.

Unfortunately, it's not the right season yet, so we'll have to wait until autumn to catch the insects.

However, as she approached a cave, she noticed several shiny objects in the grass.
