Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

A teacher.

It means to impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts.

Confucius said, “I have never refused to teach anyone who brings me a bundle of dried meat as tuition.”

Mr. Cui also followed this principle.

They sat upright in the main seats with Old Madam Cui, receiving three kowtows from the brothers Jiang Zifeng and Jiang Ziyan.

After the ceremony.

The two then presented their teacher and his wife with six gifts as a token of their respect.

Celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan, and dried meat strips.

After accepting the tuition fee, Mr. Cui gave each of them a return gift...

A copy of the Analects.

A scallion and a celery stalk.

All the remaining red tape was omitted.

Therefore, Jiang Miaomiao felt that Mr. Cui was just a bit serious on the outside, and was probably not a stubborn and pedantic old scholar on the inside.

Although Mr. Cui did not accept any monetary gifts, it did not prevent my mother from expressing her gratitude in her own way.

My mother has tasted countless delicacies and has her own unique appreciation and taste.

Although she is not good at cooking, she is good at tasting.

I reckon this is one of the essential skills for ladies from wealthy families.

They never lift a finger, yet they possess a unique sense of style.

Even a young lady from a military family like my mother was no exception.

My mother can eat, but she's not a good cook, so Aunt Xiuxiu makes up for her shortcomings.

With her mother's guidance, Aunt Xiuxiu learned to cook.

They also brought their own cured pork, pheasant, goat milk, dried bamboo shoots, pickled bamboo shoots, and fresh bamboo shoots...

I prepared a large table of delicious dishes.

This is to express our gratitude to Mr. Cui for his guidance and instruction to our two elder brothers.

Mr. Cui was very pleased!

He also greatly admired the character and talent of his old friend's daughter.

In the days to come.

The brothers Jiang Zifeng and Jiang Ziyan would come to the Cui residence every two days for three days of study, and spend the remaining two days reviewing the lessons assigned by their teacher.

Jiang Miaomiao and her daughter also became frequent visitors to the Cui residence.

It wasn't Lu Qingyao who came to bring the two elders some wild game, snacks, or fruits.

It means that Grandma Cui wants to see Jiang Miaomiao.

The little girl's place in their hearts is almost surpassing that of their grandson who lives thousands of miles away.

When the little baby saw the two elders, the first thing he did was kiss each of them and then giggle.

This made the two elders laugh heartily.

It evokes a sense of domestic bliss, like the joy of playing with one's grandchildren.

At the beginning of the two older brothers' class.

The second brother's studies often received praise from Mr. Cui, while the eldest brother could only receive a sigh from Mr. Cui, "Feng'er, take care of yourself!"

Because my older brother often unconsciously dozes off in class.

After being scolded and made to stand as punishment by his mother, the eldest brother felt extremely ashamed.

He deserves this opportunity to be personally taught by Mr. Cui.

He actually dozed off in class.

It’s so embarrassing!

I have let down my teachers, my mother, my sister, my brother, my grandparents...

He immediately made a decision to follow the example of the ancient sages, who would hang themselves by their hair and prick their thighs with an awl.

And so, this scene unfolded...

in class.

Three boys sat side by side, one of whom had a rope tied to his hair in a bun, the other end of which was tied to a beam in the room.

Mr. Cui was lecturing with complete concentration.

Jiang Ziyan and Sun Yanshu listened attentively to the lecture.

Jiang Zifeng, on the other hand, continued to listen to the lecture while dozing off at the same time.

"Ouch, that hurts..."

He had barely dozed off when his hair was pulled up so high it stood on end, and he let out a scream.

As a result, Jiang Ziyan and Sun Yanshu lost interest in listening to the lecture, and Mr. Cui also lost interest in teaching.

All attention was focused on Jiang Zifeng.

Even Jiang Miaomiao was worried about her brother...

I'm worried that if this continues, my older brother might become bald!

Will he become a bald top scholar or a bald general in the future?

what!

Jiang Miaomiao shivered.

Thinking back to that scene, I can hardly bear to look at it.

……

Jiang Ziyan's eyebrows twitched, and he was worried for his elder brother.

He had never experienced the hardship of hanging himself by his hair or pricking his thigh with an awl.

He never dozed off in class, not because he wasn't sleepy, but because he was always eager to learn from the teacher.

There's no time to doze off.

Sun Yanshu could hardly believe his eyes and burst into laughter, burying his face in the table.

There are still such interesting people in this world.

You can fall asleep even with your head hanging down!

However, Mr. Cui fell into self-doubt.

He puffed out his beard, his eyes wide like copper bells, staring intently at Jiang Zifeng.

He had countless students, and his students filled the imperial court. Even those princes and grandsons who were unruly and capricious could not be subdued by him.

But there has never been anyone like Jiang Zifeng, who studied so hard in his class that he would stay up all night.

Even in this state, how could you still fall asleep?

The key point is that the child didn't do it on purpose; even with such extreme measures, he could still fall asleep!

He can be considered a prodigy.

Mr. Cui was both amused and exasperated; his lifelong reputation was about to be ruined by this young man.

Therefore, Mr. Cui decided to adjust Jiang Zifeng's studies and teach her according to her aptitude.

When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher.

The old gentleman focused on teaching him military strategy and tactics, such as "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, "The Book of Master Gui Gu" and "The Six Secret Teachings".

He assigned Chen Qian, his most capable bodyguard, to him as a martial arts instructor.

In this way, their progress was rapid.

Jiang Miaomiao was able to see her older brother transform from someone who used to climb over walls and scramble up and down to someone who could scale walls and leap across rooftops...

You can also see him swaying his head in the courtyard, reciting intently, "Sun Tzu said: Governing a large number is like governing a small number; it is all about division of labor..."

Jiang Ziyan, on the other hand, was proficient in all schools of thought, including poetry, history, the Six Arts, policy essays, governance, and military strategy.

He can be considered to have received the true teachings of Mr. Cui.

Jiang Miaomiao, however, continues to be a freeloader.

But she has also made progress...

Time flies, and she can crawl now!

Little Miaomiao, who is not even eight months old, can already crawl around.

After all, infancy is a long and arduous period, so I need to make progress as quickly as possible.

Aside from eating, sleeping, and pooping, it's all about practicing crawling.

Master basic human abilities as soon as possible.

From crawling to standing, and then to walking upright, one becomes a wise person.

This is the law of human evolution.

Lu Qingyao felt that her daughter was unusually clean, as she didn't crawl on the ground, but only crawled inside the straw mat.

They had to increase the size of the straw mat again.

Little Miaomiao crawled back and forth, sometimes rolling over, sometimes playing with her toes, and sometimes lying on her back staring blankly at the blue sky.

Can such a young child already have worries?

There were no babies, of course, but Jiang Miaomiao did.

My brother said that an uninvited guest had arrived in Qing Shi Town.
