Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune
Chapter 81, Section 6: Gifts and Ceremonies
Early morning.
Qingshi Town.
The first rays of sunlight in the morning.
It was scattered over the small mountain village.
The area is shrouded in mist, creating a dreamlike and ethereal scene.
Jiang Miaomiao sat on a straw mat under the peach tree.
Wearing a light pink jacket, she looked like a pink peach that had fallen from a peach tree.
Pink and tender.
The little baby held a teething toy in one hand, putting it in his mouth every now and then, and taking a bite every now and then.
One hand strokes Jiang Xiaobai.
One moment I'd stroke its back, the next its belly.
The little wolf cub lay sprawled out, letting her pluck its fur.
Jiang Miaomiao felt good stroking it; it was soft, smooth, and had a wonderful feel to it.
The little wolf cub was also very comfortable from being petted, and he dozed off with his eyes half-closed, looking very content.
Just as I was happily petting him, the little baby stretched out his chubby little hand to take a look...
Ah! My hands are covered in hair.
Finished!
Jiang Xiaobai is going to be ripped bald by her!
He's going to turn into a bald wolf.
She had only ever seen hairless cats, never hairless wolves.
A hairless cat is weird, a bald wolf must be even weirder...
The little baby got anxious and prepared to show it to his mother and brothers, hoping to salvage the situation.
However, everyone in the family is busy.
Some people burn incense, bathe, and change clothes.
Some people packed up their things in an orderly manner.
The busiest of them all was the mother, who not only tidied herself up, but also helped her two eldest sons get ready.
He would occasionally glance at Jiang Miaomiao.
Aunt Xiuxiu was busy preparing the six gifts for her eldest and second eldest brothers to receive when they became apprentices...
Please bring dried meat or meat strips; this is a generous gift to express the disciple's gratitude.
Celery symbolizes diligence and a love of learning.
Lotus seeds symbolize painstaking effort, representing the painstaking teaching and dedication of teachers and elders.
Red beans symbolize good fortune and prosperity.
Red dates symbolize early success in examinations and passing the imperial examinations with flying colors.
Longan symbolizes the completion of one's merits.
……
Unsurprisingly, the eldest and second eldest brothers successfully became apprentices.
Unsurprisingly, the second brother was taken in by Mr. Cui, but surprisingly, the eldest brother was also accepted as a disciple.
Mr. Cui said that teaching one person is teaching, and teaching two people is also teaching. We should treat everyone equally, so we might as well accept them all.
Next up is today's apprenticeship ceremony.
Today is a very important day.
The whole family looked radiant and were all ready to go.
Even Jiang Miaomiao was dressed in pink and looked adorable.
A pink lace hat, a pink floral jacket, pink embroidered koi shoes... pink from head to toe.
Although she didn't like this shade of pink, her mother said that the whole set was a gift from Old Mrs. Cui, and she couldn't go against her wishes.
Okay! I'll reluctantly put it on and be a dumpling for a day.
"Beep, bab, bab..."
The little baby stretched out his chubby little hands to show off two tufts of wolf fur, babbling and begging for attention.
"My dear girl, you can't eat wolf fur!" Her mother came over, glanced at her, and patted her little head, giving her a gentle reminder.
Jiang Miaomiao: "..."
She wasn't planning on eating it; she wasn't so hungry as to be indiscriminate in her choice of food...
Aunt Xiuxiu came over and took a look. "Miaomiao is really amazing. She actually dared to pluck a wolf's fur!"
Jiang Miaomiao "..."
Is plucking wolf fur really that impressive?
The older brother ran over and kissed her on the cheek before noticing the fur in her hand.
"Hey! Wolf fur? Miaomiao, pluck some more, and I'll make you a wolf-hair brush another day."
What?
Wolf hair brush?
Jiang Miaomiao: "..."
My brother! This wolf is not that wolf...
My brother is illiterate!
Jiang Ziyan clicked his tongue. "Brother, wolf's hair isn't made of wolf fur..."
Jiang Zifeng scratched his head and gave an embarrassed smile. "Isn't that right? What's it made of?"
"The wolf in wolf hair is the wolf of the weasel, and it is made from the tail hair of a weasel."
"Oh I got it."
Jiang Zifeng's sudden realization amused Jiang Miaomiao.
Little Miaomiao blinked her big, eager eyes and stared blankly at her second brother.
Then her second brother leaned closer to her and said, "Miaomiao, don't be afraid. Jiang Xiaobai is just like you. It needs to change its clothes when the weather gets warmer. It's fine. It won't go bald, and it's not sick."
Jiang Miaomiao thought this explanation was very reasonable; no wonder he was her exceptionally intelligent second brother.
Second brother understands her best.
Then the second brother gently blew, "Pfft..."
Mao flew away...
Then Jiang Miaomiao fell into her mother's arms, and her mother looked especially beautiful today.
She looks good whether she's wearing light or heavy makeup, and she also has a subtle fragrance.
The whole family left, leaving Jiang Xiaobai, the wolf, to guard the gate.
Jiang Miaomiao originally thought it was the Cui family mansion.
It doesn't look particularly large; it's a three-courtyard house, located next to the county magistrate's residence.
The house is surrounded by bamboo and vegetable gardens.
"I'd rather go without meat than live without bamboo," that's exactly what Mr. Cui was talking about.
Inside the main hall of the Cui family, the dignified and solemn old man with a white beard sat upright in the main seat, with his wife beside him.
An elderly woman with kind eyes.
Although the old lady's face bore the marks of time, it could not conceal her exceptional beauty and charm.
She must have been a stunning beauty in her youth.
At this moment, the old lady was smiling and looking at Jiang Miaomiao with gentle eyes.
Ever since the baby entered the house, Grandma Cui's eyes have never left her.
"Little girl, come here and let Grandma hug you!" The old lady reached out her hand.
Jiang Miaomiao smiled and reached out her arms for a hug.
Just kidding, this woman was personally bestowed the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady by the Emperor, and she was also the teacher's wife of her brothers.
No clinging to powerful figures!
Then everyone saw the little baby give the old lady a big kiss on the cheek, leaving her face covered in drool...
The old servant behind Mrs. Cui looked astonished and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her face.
The solemn-faced old man with the white beard then smiled slightly.
Lu Qingyao gave an awkward smile and reached out to take the baby back. "My little girl is a bit naughty, please forgive her!"
Grandma Cui had no intention of returning the child. She gave Jiang Miaomiao two kisses on the cheek and said with a smile, "It's only fair to return the favor!"
Then she took out a piece of white jade from her bosom and placed it in her little hand. "Little Miaomiao, this is a gift from your grandmother. Hold it carefully and don't drop it."
The jade pendant is engraved with the character "Cui".
Jiang Miaomiao wondered if it might be some kind of special pass, and that she should keep it safe.
These antiques and jade artifacts are very valuable!
She quickly clenched her little fists.
Unfortunately, her fist was too small and the jade pendant was too big, so her small hands couldn't hold it firmly.
Lu Qingyao quickly took it, afraid that the jade pendant would be dropped or damaged.
“Madam, the generational order is all messed up. The little one should call you ‘Master’s Wife’ like her brothers,” Mr. Cui reminded her.
The old lady rubbed her forehead. "Look at me, I'm getting old and my memory is failing. Little Miaomiao should call me 'Teacher's Wife'."
“Eeya ya ya…”
The little baby seemed to respond by calling out a few times.
Everyone laughed, and Grandma Cui laughed heartily, "Look, little Miaomiao is calling me..."
But after a while, she seemed to become sad again, "If only my little grandson were here, he'd be about the same age as Miaomiao, and they would definitely play together."
Jiang Miaomiao: "..."
Oh! Is the old lady trying to find her a childhood sweetheart?
Seeing his wife's sadness, Mr. Cui, without any hesitation, took her hand and said in front of everyone, "It's alright, we'll ask them to send her back when she's older."
Jiang Miaomiao then fell into Mr. Cui's arms again.
Although the white-bearded old man smiled at Jiang Miaomiao with utmost gentleness, Jiang Miaomiao still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
The authority emanating from those in power frightened her somewhat.
She nestled obediently in the old master's arms, like a soft and cuddly kitten.
My mother told me that this old gentleman was a veteran of three reigns, and was the teacher of the previous emperor and the current emperor.
He also taught the future king and the current crown prince for several years.
Because of his advanced age, he abdicated and passed the position to his student.
Wouldn't that mean her brothers were from the same school as the current emperor, crown prince, and grand tutor?
They are even a generation older than the Crown Prince...
As their younger sister, Jiang Miaomiao also benefited from it!
Thinking about it this way, I became a little excited.
The little baby couldn't help but start waving his arms and legs excitedly.
He even touched the tiger's whiskers...
