Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich-Chapter 227 - 226 Welcoming the Teacher

Chapter 227: Chapter 226 Welcoming the Teacher

Tang Shunyan wanted to say no, but what’s with a girl always sticking to him?

He tried to find an excuse, saying, “I still need to take my afternoon nap!”

“I’ll wait for you. Whether I take a nap or not doesn’t matter, as long as there is ice in the room next to where I stay!”

Meng Zhaojun certainly didn’t want to sit in the pavilion in the garden; she had no choice in the sweltering midday heat, where sitting in the pavilion was like feeding the mosquitoes.

She could never get used to ancient times where hot days came without air conditioning. Ice was placed in the room at home every day. The adults wouldn’t let her drink too much icy water, knowing it was for her own good, but having ice in the room was essential!

“Mother, please arrange for Miss Meng. I am going to take my nap now,” Tang Shunyan said after lunch, not caring whether Meng Zhaojun agreed or not, and left with his two maids.

Meng Zhaojun didn’t follow them obediently. She was already five or six years old, nearly reaching the age where there should be a clear separation between boys and girls. It’s not appropriate to follow Tang Shunyan to his quarters to sleep, as they were neither brother and sister.

Lady Tang had someone arrange for Meng Zhaojun to stay in the guest room next door, where there was a bed, and had maids bring ice for the room.

They were also instructed to watch over Miss Meng closely, ensuring she wouldn’t catch a cold in the chilled room.

Meng Zhaojun fell asleep on the guest room bed under a thin quilt, accustomed to taking naps and unknowingly drifted asleep amidst the boredom of waiting.

When she woke up, her eyes were groggy as she surveyed the unfamiliar room, then remembered she was at the Tang Family’s home.

“Liang Chen, what hour is it?”

“Lady, it’s the same hour you usually wake up from naps. Young Master Tang is also taking his nap!”

Liang Chen seemed to understand her lady’s wish, seeing the anxious expression on her face as soon as she opened her eyes, afraid of missing the time to be with Young Master Tang.

Truthfully speaking, the future of these two childhood sweethearts was uncertain, yet it wouldn’t be bad if they were to become a couple, given their current good relation—an arrangement typical of wealthy families.

Having been by the lady’s side for so long, the maid noticed the mature thinking of this little girl and her humble demeanor in front of the little boy, her facial expressions revealing the thoughts in her mind.

The proud young lady was always so obedient in front of Young Master Tang. In fact, at times she could be quite willful, all for the sake of Mr. Tang Shunyan.

“Lady, let me help you freshen up,” Mei Jing had already brought in a basin of water.

The two worked together, one helping wash the lady’s face, while the other assisted with her dressing and grooming.

During the summer vacation, Tang Shunyan continued his martial arts training. His teacher visited periodically to instruct him, but he had not yet mastered Qinggong. The teacher had taught him, but perhaps because he was still young, Tang Shunyan had not managed to learn it.

Ascending to the heavens and traveling across rooftops like in the legends were advanced martial arts levels he had not achieved—his highest jump was only ten feet.

His teacher praised him for having talent and being a good prospect for martial arts.

Teachers, of course, didn’t just instruct students for money; they took in each disciple hoping they would grow to be useful individuals.

It was improbable for the young master of a rich family to become a hero, but strengthening the body was definitely achievable. The young masters from wealthy families wouldn’t stay at home all day; having martial arts skills for personal protection was useful!

After all, there are risks even with bodyguards when going outside. Although the young master may not personally transport goods, sometimes one must oversee precious items or visit certain places for inspection, thus being able to protect oneself is vital!

Tang Shunyan was practicing his martial arts. Now he was wielding a wooden small sword and performing his swordplay.

He was young, and his family wouldn’t allow him to practice with a sharp sword, so he could only use this peach wood sword.

His movements were well-practiced, but unfortunately, he hadn’t been able to summon Sword Qi!

Meng Zhaojun arrived at Tang Shunyan’s courtyard and saw the young boy practicing his swordplay, which looked like dancing!

She became mesmerized at the sight, memorizing the boy’s swordsmanship in her mind. In her imagination, they were both practicing martial arts together, then adventuring through the worldly society as a happy couple.

But this was just Meng Zhaojun’s fanciful thinking. In reality, as an official’s daughter, she couldn’t go exploring the worldly society with a rich family’s son; neither of their families would permit such wild behavior!

Nevertheless, she still wanted to try practicing on her own; even if she couldn’t master advanced martial arts, treating it as a dance wouldn’t be bad either!

Meng Zhaojun spent that afternoon standing quietly to the side, watching Tang Shunyan practice.

Then she had her maid fetch her a wooden sword so she could learn too.

Tang Shunyan thought Meng Zhaojun was very quiet that afternoon, but he later realized he was mistaken. When Meng Zhaojun also took up a wooden sword and waited for his movements to practice, he had another thought. This girl truly embodied the domineering and assertive woman; what kind of girl learns martial arts?

Tang Shunyan’s master had never said his martial arts couldn’t be taught to others; these were just simple techniques from the martial society.

If it were more advanced, Meng Zhaojun certainly wouldn’t be able to learn it by watching it just a few times.

Meng Zhaojun memorized the movements; at first, her attempts were somewhat clumsy, but she quickly overcame this. The young girl’s supple body was well-suited for learning any dance form, or for that matter, this style of martial arts.

Meng Zhaojun was thoroughly engrossed. From noon till evening, they conversed very little, only stopping occasionally to drink water and rest.

…

The Ye family welcomed a horse-drawn carriage, escorted by two guards into the courtyard. When the guards dismounted, a man alighted from the carriage, assisting a woman as she stepped down!

Mr. and Mrs. Mo had traveled from the county into the countryside by carriage, a journey of half an hour that was neither too long nor too short. The couple enjoyed the scenery along the way.

Mrs. Mo certainly felt happy watching the beautiful landscape with her husband by her side.

Mrs. Mo had never visited her husband’s hometown and felt quite ashamed. It had been over half a year since she was married and yet, she had not met her in-laws.

When Mrs. Mo inquired about it, Mr. Mo shook his head and said,

“Our hometown is much poorer than here, and also more remote. Although the scenery is also nice, their lives are not as good as the people’s here!”

Mr. Mo had good reason to say that; their hometown in the North was colder, with only two growing seasons a year. During snowy weather, they couldn’t plant crops, and the area also suffered from water shortages.

Unlike this place where the land was rich with water, and the Southern climate favorable, allowing for three growing seasons. Even in winter, they could plant wheat or vegetables that would sustain them like potatoes or sweet potatoes.

Mrs. Mo didn’t understand much about farming. She did not look down upon the people of her husband’s hometown; she merely thought of working hard with her husband to earn more money or, if possible, to learn farming techniques from other families, so they could help her husband’s family.

The people of the Ye family had long known that Mr. Mo would be coming; Hongji did not go to the factory to work, waiting instead to welcome the teacher with a gift to show his respect.

Upon hearing the sound of the carriage and horses, the whole family came out of the house, just in time to greet the couple descending from the carriage.
