Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich-Chapter 226 - 225: Wish Fulfilled

Chapter 226: Chapter 225: Wish Fulfilled

Zhaojun gave Tang Shunyan a proud look, then said haughtily, “Didn’t you say you’d make time for some guidance from me? Now that I, your teacher, am here, shouldn’t you be hosting me properly?”

“Alright! Let’s go to my courtyard!” Tang Shunyan wanted to sigh internally but could only suppress the urge to roll his eyes, maintaining the appearance of a little gentleman. After all, a good boy doesn’t quarrel with girls.

Zhaojun felt victorious today and giggled happily, finding Tang Shunyan the cutest he had ever been!

While Zhaojun was delighted, Tang Shunyan was quite frustrated, yet he dared not offend the domineering little lady before him whose name, ‘domineering little lady,’ would henceforth be imprinted in his mind.

Zhaojun arrived at Tang Shunyan’s courtyard, where, at his instruction, a maid fetched a guzheng from the classroom. Zhaojun sat before the guzheng to play some basic exercises, allowing the little lady to help correct her!

Zhaojun did not disappoint, guiding Tang Shunyan through his basic techniques and correcting his erroneous motions as he played.

From his initial reluctance to his serious playing at the end, Tang Shunyan was only learning the basics and the techniques. Playing the entire melody was impossible for him.

Thus, they busily practiced all afternoon, and Tang Shunyan felt he had made some progress in his playing. Indeed, Zhaojun’s individual tutoring was helpful.

It was certainly better than Mr. Mo teaching so many students at once and not being able to provide him with better instruction.

“Tang Shunyan, how are you going to thank me for tutoring you today? You wouldn’t send me back alone, would you? You must treat me to a meal. You can’t expect me to go to your mother’s courtyard to eat alone, right?”

Zhaojun did not demand that Tang Shunyan take her out to a restaurant, knowing well that they were children and it would be unrealistic to eat out without adult supervision.

Having spent the morning together, she believed the little boy had grown fonder of her. She was delighted to have spent the morning alone with him and wondered how often such opportunities might arise in the future. However, she believed in cherishing each day as it comes without stressing too much about it!

Just like her family had to move wherever her parents went, she had no freedom of choice because she was still young, and her wings were not yet strong. She needed to grow under her parent’s care.

She thought it would be nice to grow up alongside this little boy, but also hoped her father would have a better future, brightening their siblings’ prospects as well. Regardless of what the future held, they must grow under their parent’s protection.

“Zhaojun, come eat at my mother’s courtyard!” Tang Shunyan finished and asked Qiu Xia to inform his grandmother that they would not be having lunch at her courtyard today!

Lady Tang had already heard that Zhaojun had come to her son’s courtyard and had a maid check what they were doing.

Learning that the two were making music and her son was being tutored by the little girl, as a mother, she naturally felt proud, believing her son to be the best—in this regard, Lady Tang would not admit defeat.

She was pleasantly surprised that her son had invited the little girl to eat in their courtyard today.

She instructed the maids in the courtyard to have the chefs prepare finer dishes, specifically those the two children enjoyed.

Lady Tang knew her son’s favorite dishes. As a mother, she still had this slight advantage. Zhaojun had eaten in their courtyard several times and, having observed the girl’s every move, knew which dishes the little girl liked.

Her son liked the softer braised meat and was not very fond of greens. However, ever since the Ye family had supplied vegetables, her son had also grown fond of melons and vegetables.

Meng Zhaojun, the little girl, was different. Most of the time, she only ate dishes made with lean meat, avoiding any that contained a bit more fat, whether it was vegetables stir-fried with lean meat or slightly oilier chicken or duck.

The picky eating habits of Meng Zhaojun, this little girl, were indeed unlike her son’s dietary preferences. She had once asked Mrs. Meng how the little girl could prefer lean meat when it was generally tougher!

Mrs. Meng’s response left her somewhat puzzled—was this supposed to be a method of health and fitness, something wealthy people practiced?

If one were born into a poor family, having any meat to eat would be good enough, let alone worrying about fat or lean for healthiness—wasn’t that absurd?

What did a little girl know about health and fitness? At her age, being plump and chubby meant she could grow taller and healthier. Her frail, skinny body, akin to chicken claws, was this really considered beautiful and healthy?

Lady Tang thought she was not wrong in her assessment. In this era, fuller figures were celebrated. Whether in the countryside or in the city’s wealthy families, thin and frail women were not particularly desirable!

Meng Zhaojun happily sat next to Tang Shunyan, across from Lady Tang. At that moment, they sat together like a family, making her momentarily envision many future years of growth, them being a family, sitting together for a meal—what a blissful scene!

Meng Zhaojun could not imagine that Lady Tang’s gaze held a different meaning. Perhaps even if she had known, she would not have agreed with Lady Tang’s thoughts, for their souls from different eras harbored different ideas!

“Lady Meng, why didn’t Mrs. Meng come today?” Lady Tang made small talk, as there was no rule against speaking during meals at that moment.

“My mother has matters to attend to…” Meng Zhaojun, while the maid Liang Chen Meijing served the dishes, ate her favorite dishes. Hearing Lady Tang’s question, she could not reveal the true situation and had to lie!

Don’t label her as a lying child; indeed, under the probing gaze of Lady Tang, she had to conceal her real thoughts. This woman before her was formidable, a future mother-in-law not easily dealt with!

“Oh, that makes sense… Mrs. Meng, being an official’s wife, cannot be compared to a child like you. She just visited our house the day before yesterday, so I understand she’s busy today!”

Lady Tang spoke while still maintaining a smile on her face.

Tang Shunyan silently ate, served by Chunxiang and Qiu Xia. He was not interested in the conversation between the two women, one young, one older.

“Tang Shunyan, let’s practice the guzheng this afternoon!”

Meng Zhaojun was not about to let this young boy slip away. She wanted to fill his entire day, leaving him no time to think about anyone else!

“Meng Zhaojun, this afternoon I have martial arts practice. You play here with my mother!”

For Tang Shunyan, martial arts practice was already a habit and not specifically meant to avoid the little girl.

Meng Zhaojun stopped her movements of eating, staring intently at Tang Shunyan, yet her expression did not reveal any additional emotions. At this moment, in front of her future mother-in-law and without her own mother around, it was inappropriate to show annoyance towards the young boy.

Eventually, she conceded. Since the young boy did not want to play the guzheng in the afternoon, she would follow his lead. As long as she was by his side, it did not matter what they did.

“Alright, I’ll watch you practice martial arts, and you can teach me some moves too!”
