Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

Chapter 204 The Mother Who Holds Us Back

That night.

The full moon shines brightly.

The garden is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus trees.

It also has a meaty aroma.

"Big brother, have some walnuts..."

"Second brother, you eat too..."

Jiang Miaomiao nestled in her older brother's arms, munching on walnut kernels.

Every now and then, she would put the walnuts that her brothers had peeled for her back into her eldest and second eldest brothers' mouths.

By this time, the eldest and second eldest brothers had already bathed, changed their clothes, eaten, and rested.

Only then did I have time to gather with my whole family to enjoy the moon, eat wine, and have barbecue.

And of course, there's chatting.

Under the osmanthus tree, Jiang Miaomiao kept asking her eldest brother to hug her, and then she asked her second brother to hug her.

He buried his head in their arms and sniffed.

Wow! It smells delicious.

It has a sandalwood scent with a scholarly quality.

However, the aroma of the barbecue quickly overwhelmed the smell, and it's likely that everyone's clothes will smell of barbecue after they finish eating.

The little girl hadn't even swallowed the walnut in her mouth when she took the kebab that Aunt Xiuxiu handed to her older brother.

Her mother glanced at her.

Jiang Miaomiao gave her a sweet smile, acting cute and adorable.

Lu Qingyao shook her head, "No, I've already eaten a lot."

The older brother then took the meat skewers from her hand.

However, when her mother wasn't looking, she still managed to stuff a piece into her mouth.

It smells so good, and it tastes so good.

The aroma of the roasted lamb was absolutely irresistible to her.

The older brother wiped her mouth, then began to recount his observations and experiences during the scientific expedition while munching on mutton.

“Mother, Xing’er, the steamed buns and flatbreads you prepared for us are all easy to digest and easy to store, and there’s plenty of water too. But Pei’er is in trouble. His mother doesn’t know what she prepared for him. The boy got an upset stomach and keeps having diarrhea, several times a day. My cell is right next to his, and the smell is indescribable… It almost affected my performance…”

Jiang Miaomiao: ……

She stretched out her little hand to her second brother, "Second brother, hug me."

I originally wanted to eat some of my older brother's roasted lamb, but now I have no appetite at all.

I don't know how my older brother manages to eat so heartily while saying such unpalatable things.

Aunt Xiuxiu brought over the roasted mutton, but instead of handing it to him, she turned the hand that was being handed to him and placed it in her second brother's hand.

Qiao'er almost spat out the osmanthus wine she had just tasted, and she quickly covered it with a handkerchief.

Mother tore off a large piece of meat and stuffed it into her older brother's mouth.

Even eating meat can't shut you up...

Jiang Ziyan quickly picked up where her elder brother left off, “Mother, it’s fortunate that my elder brother practices martial arts regularly, and I also practice the Five Animal Frolics every day, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to last a few days. But Pei-ge’er wasn’t so lucky. Look at how delicate he is, even more frail than a girl. He ate some weird stuff and almost died…”

"Is it that serious?" Lu Qingyao asked, looking at her son.

Yan'er's height is similar to Jiang Zipei's. Although she looks thin, her small body has become much stronger after her training over the past few years.

After eating something and taking a nap, my mental state returned to normal.

Jiang Ziyan nodded, "Yes, I noticed that on the last day, he was sustained only by those few slices of ginseng..."

Xiuxiu asked curiously, "What did he eat?"

"It smells like rice dumplings and pork hock." Jiang Ziyan was quite familiar with that smell.

Before going to the examination hall, he tried a little of everything.

"How could you prepare all that for the child?" Lu Qingyao's jaw dropped when she heard her son's explanation. "They've already passed the county and prefectural examinations, this shouldn't be happening..."

In that kind of environment, on that kind of hot day.

Children's stomachs can't handle those kinds of things; every family prepares easily digestible and non-perishable food for their children.

Qi Caiwei, on the other hand, managed to make such a mistake in such an important matter; I don't know what to say about it.

I've seen sons betray their parents, but I've never seen parents betray their sons.

Jiang Miaomiao felt that without Mei Gu's right-hand woman, Qi Caiwei must have suddenly become mentally deficient.

No wonder she always seemed a bit dim-witted.

Jiang Zifeng clicked her tongue in amazement. "My brother and I couldn't stand it anymore, so we asked the examiner to help us by giving him some water each."

Jiang Ziyan shook his head and sighed, "The water in the examination hall is only drawn from the well once or twice a year. Pei-ge'er is so delicate, his stomach can't handle it. He's been having diarrhea since the second day... I'm afraid he hasn't even finished his exam paper..."

Speaking of which, that kid has changed a lot in recent years. He even knows to bow and call them "brother" when he sees them.

It seems that the books I read at Donglin Academy were not in vain.

Unfortunately, he had a mother who held him back.

Xiuxiu didn't understand, "Why can't we eat those things during scientific expeditions?"

In just three days, those things shouldn't have rotted to the point of being inedible, right?

"It's best not to eat. In that kind of environment and with such a tense atmosphere, it's torture for both body and mind. It's best to eat foods that are easy to digest, filling, and not easily spoiled. In order to reduce the number of times you need to relieve yourself, you shouldn't drink too much water either. The well water in the examination hall is definitely not drinkable..." Mother went on and on.

Aunt Xiuxiu asked her, "Sister, how come you know all this, while Qi Caiwei doesn't?"

"That's because Jiang Yunze told me about his experience in the imperial examinations. I suppose he must have given instructions to Qi Caiwei, but she probably just left it to the servants and didn't pay much attention to it herself," Lu Qingyao recalled.

The reason she knew all this was because Jiang Yunze, in order to gain her sympathy, recounted in detail the hardships he had endured during the scientific expedition.

She felt sorry for him for quite a while.

However, Qi Caiwei was different.

The woman considered herself a noblewoman from a high-class family and looked down on Jiang Yunze at first.

Even though she was forced to marry Jiang Yunze, she still maintained her noble demeanor.

They are all fond of romantic moments under the moon and flowers.

The roles that Jiang Yunze and she played were all about talented men and beautiful women whose ambitions were thwarted.

If I were to tell her about my miserable and impoverished past, I'm afraid I wouldn't gain her sympathy.

Instead, it was disdain and contempt.

The conversation abruptly ended when the topic of the scumbag father came up.

"Let's not talk about that. Princess Rong'an is about to return to the capital. What kind of farewell gift are you planning to give her?" Xiuxiu coughed twice and asked the children.

"Let me paint a portrait for my sister, the princess," Jiang Ziyan said, looking at her mother.

Lu Qingyao thought this was good; Yan'er's painting skills were unparalleled.

The booklet he drew for Miaomiao was so vivid and interesting that it could make anyone happy all day long.

Even the mushroom illustrations at Yipinju were drawn by him.

It also incorporated my daughter's whimsical ideas; next to the mushroom picture, there were tiny mushroom figures with big heads and small bodies, depicting things like seeing these tiny figures after eating poisonous mushrooms, or lying on a flat board...

The time spent browsing the product page made customers forget the long wait for the mushroom cooking process.

She looked at her eldest son, "Feng'er, what about you?"

Jiang Zifeng scratched his head, his eyes lighting up as he looked at the small porcelain bottle in Qiao'er's hand. "Mother, how about I give the princess a few jugs of osmanthus wine?"

"Alright...alright, I'll repay you with osmanthus wine in return for your osmanthus cake." Lu Qingyao chuckled awkwardly.

Jiang Miaomiao: ……

Suddenly, someone blurted out, "Brother, the osmanthus wine is finished."

Qiao'er glanced at the little guy and nodded repeatedly in agreement, "That's all, only this one bottle left."
