After Mingjin suffered a lot, he became more sensible. The specific manifestation is that she will get angry if she doesn't make Wen Wan angry anymore. Wenwan listens to whatever she says and is very well-behaved. Wen Wan said before that food should not be wasted. Since he came back, he is no longer picky about food. He eats whatever is available and is full every time.
Wen Wan saw that Mingjin had really learned a lesson this time, and her goal had been achieved. However, in order to prevent Mingjin from returning to his old ways, the food has not been restored to normal levels. But the kitchen is back in Xia Xian's hands. The dishes are still the same, and the rice is still the same, but the level has gone up.
Ling Chang followed Wen Wan as she walked in the fields, and saw patches of green vegetable fields. Thinking about listening to Wen Wan all the time saying that the food on the dinner table is hard-earned. Ling Chang came up with the idea of ??growing vegetables by himself. When the time comes to eat vegetables grown by oneself, the feeling will be different.
Lingcheng told Wen Wan, and Wen Wan thought about it and thought it was a good idea. No matter how much you listen or see, it is better to do it yourself. Once you know how difficult it is to do it yourself, you will feel even greater.
Wenwan is a person who does what she thinks of. When she came back, she ordered someone to gather three pieces of soil next to the house. The three pieces of land were to give each of the three children a piece of land, so that they could compete with each other to see who could grow the best vegetables.
Mingjin finds it very strange, while Mingrui is a little reluctant. Mingrui thinks this is a complete waste of his time. If you have this time, you might as well practice hard.
Wen Wan hugged the martial arts madman's son with a smile and comforted him: "Growing vegetables won't waste much of your time. Except for the first day, I only occasionally fertilize and catch insects. Mingrui, think about eating what you grow by yourself." Food, does it feel different?¡±
Mingrui curled his lips, he was not interested. cough. His mother has so many tricks. But now that his mother had made up her mind, he knew there was no point in resisting. If you don't resist, you will have to do it reluctantly.
Before planting vegetables, you must first weed. Plow again, and finally divide the land into whole ridges. Wen Wan led the three children to pull out the grass and hired someone to plow the land. Xia Yao was determined not to let Wen Wan do such rough work with her children. Wen Wan's wish to dig the ground with her children came to nothing.
The ground has been plowed. Wen Wan took the three children to level the plowed land and divided it into small pieces. Then she sprinkled the vegetable seeds, applied a layer of plant ash from the stove, and then collected the water from the side of the vegetable field. I watered it once (Wenwan was afraid of getting dirty and didn't dare to use manure).
After working for a long time, Wen Wan saw that the three children were all covered in mud. He smiled and said: "Okay. Let's go back and take a shower. From now on, it will be up to you which one of you has the best vegetables." It is not easy for ordinary people to grow food, but it is not easy. I haven't experienced it personally, so it sounds like that. . Let these three children experience for themselves how hard-earned the vegetables on the table are.
Mingjin has been growing since the seeds were planted in the ground. I go there to look at it every day, and then there are a lot of questions: "Mom, why haven't they sprouted yet?" "Mom, do I need to fertilize?" Mingjin wished that it would grow immediately and then she could eat it.
Wen Wan was smiling on the side, but she was really impatient.
After finishing the work in the vegetable field, Wen Wan changed the schedule. They still studied together in the morning, but in the afternoon, Wen Wan took the three of them to the school training ground.
Lingchen is eight years old. Mingrui and Mingjin are also six years old. You can learn to ride. Wenwan prepared three horses and three young mares for her three children.
Of course, what we are learning now are some elementary things. But even if they are just learning the most basic things, the three children are very happy. Xia Yao watched the three children listen carefully to the teachings of the people around them, and said with a smile: "The princess is too impatient. The two young masters are still young, so why don't they learn to ride horses." She also said that Jin was impatient. The princess is more impatient than Mingjin.
Wen Wan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. There is a master by my side and the horse is a trained mare. It will be fine. Mingrui will go to the battlefield in the future, and good riding skills are a must. First, lay a solid foundation. , I won¡¯t be afraid that Mingrui won¡¯t be able to keep up when Bai Shinian comes back. As long as he has learned all Bai Shinian¡¯s skills, I don¡¯t have to worry too much if he has your martial arts foundation.¡± Wen Wan thought. In the future, when Mingrui goes to the battlefield, he will have to wait eagerly for his son to come back. I have to live my whole life waiting. Well, Mingrui joined the army, but Mingjin must never join the army again.
Mingrui is very happy to learn riding and shooting in the afternoon. But if I study riding and shooting in the morning and practice riding and shooting in the afternoon, there is no time to practice. Tell Wen Wan to cancel the morning study time and change it to practice time.
Wen Wan did not agree. Wen Wan's reason is that martial arts is important, but strategy is even more important. Wen Wan doesn't expect Mingrui to be really good at both civil and military skills, but he definitely can't be a reckless man.
????????????????? Well, Mingrui knows that what his mother said is what she says, and there is no chance of changing it. So I spent my evenings practicing martial arts. To Wen Wan's surprise, Mingjin also practiced with Mingrui. Mingjin now practices very diligently, instead of doing it half-heartedly like before.Nowadays, I am not afraid of hardship nor complain of tiredness, I am very serious. Second only to the martial arts madman Mingrui.
In Wuxing¡¯s words, Mingjin realized from this incident that his own skills were really not good enough. In order to prepare for the dilemma of being beaten until he was unable to fight back in the future, and his brother killing him and causing him to faint, he is now practicing hard. If nothing else, at least I can't be bullied anymore without losing my dignity or status.
When Xia Yao saw Ming Jin starting to practice martial arts hard, she couldn't help but sigh that Wen Wan's method was effective. Although it is a bit harsh, it is indeed good for the children.
Wen Wan listened to Xia Yao's sigh and smiled: "Aren't you going to say that I am the stepmother?"
Wenwan began to worry that Mingjin was too frightened and would have a high fever at night. So that night, Wen Wan, Xia Yao and Xia Ying took turns keeping vigil. The three of them took turns watching, even if they were worried that the child would be sick and have a high fever, they would know it immediately. In the end nothing happened. Then Wenwan was worried that Mingjin would have sequelae after witnessing the murder this time, but Mingjin had no problem at all, and said that I was just worrying about it and looked down upon him.
Facts have proved that Wen Wan was indeed more worried. It has been less than half a month since Mingjin came back. So far I haven't felt any discomfort. Wu Xing gave Wen Wan a reasonable explanation. That is, it was Mingrui who committed the murder, not Mingjin. Mingjin was very ashamed that she had fainted during the killing process. She only felt annoyed and regretful, not fear or panic. This also has something to do with martial arts training in the past. After all, Mingjin is not an ordinary child who has never seen the world.
Xia Yao sneered. I also made up my mind that I must be strict with my two children in the future. Relaxing the requirements would be more harmful than a blessing to the children.
Wenwan had been on guard against the news leaking, worried that people in the capital would find out that Mingrui and Mingjin had run away. So during that time, we controlled the road from Shili Village to the outside. It can be said that not only were people unable to get out, but all the birds that flew out during the day were shot down.
These gentle methods also have a certain effect. At least it was three days after the news was sent. These people didn't know the child's specific location. When they found out the details, the child had already returned.
The emperor was relatively well-informed and found out about the child on the second night after he ran away. The emperor knew that Wen Wan was extremely distressed when he allowed his two children to suffer outside. However, seeing Wen Wan sealing the news, the emperor remained calm. After the child came back, the emperor wrote a letter and scolded Wenwan. Wen Wan also replied, just letting the child endure hardship, everything else is fine. Mingjin is much better behaved now. Don't give her any more headaches.
Although the emperor always said that Wen Wan was his stepmother, the emperor also knew very well that Wen Wan was doing this for the sake of his children. It is indeed good for children to suffer more when they are young. The child had returned safely, and the emperor said nothing more about it. He just wrote a letter and said gently that if something like this happens again in the future, he should say hello in advance. Don't worry him again like this time.
This time the emperor heard Wen Wan asking her three children to grow vegetables again. The emperor shook his head, did this girl think that she would not give up until she had toiled the children enough? But after laughing, I fell into deep thought. Did Wenwan let her children grow vegetables in order to familiarize them with farming (by this time, Mingjin was no longer picky about food).
After a long time, the emperor said: "Sun Degong, Wenwan lets the children grow their own vegetables? What do you think?"
Grandpa Sun was embarrassed. He had only heard that mothers wanted their children to live a good life, to have good food, clothing and fun, so that they would have a bright future when they grow up. He had never heard of a mother torturing her son like a princess. Compared to ruthlessly throwing the children out, Eunuch Sun thought that the gentle princess would let the three children grow vegetables, but it was really a big deal: "I really can't think of the princess's idea." No matter if he throws out two Whether the children suffer or grow vegetables, it is all to train the children. If all the rich families in the capital could do what Wen Wan thinks, there wouldn't be so many dandies in the capital.
The person who was most affected by this incident was Ling Yuan. Ling Yuanyuan got the news that his younger brother Ling Chang actually went to plant vegetables. When he returned to the East Palace, he went to find his mother-in-law: "Mother-in-law. Why does aunt let Ling Chang grow vegetables? Mother-in-law, if this matter is spread, everyone will laugh at Ling Chang in the future." I don't know what happened to my aunt. I think, instead of teaching my younger brother to study hard, I always let him learn some weird things.
Ruyu must have received the news earlier than Lingyuan, so he smiled and reassured Lingyuan. Then he let Ling Yuan go down.
After Ruyu waited for Lingyuan to leave, he leaned on the rose chair and said after a while: "Mom, it's a small thing for Wenwan to let her children grow vegetables, but she is willing to throw her two sons out and ignore them. Wenwan is really capable. You are so cruel." Wen Wan accepted Ling Chang as her student, but she still kept her distance from Dong Gong as before. This was not beyond his expectation. But Wen Wan can be cruel to her own son, which is really rare.
Aunt Rong said tactfully: "Princess, Princess Wenwan is not an ordinary person. Although Princess Wenwan did not directly support the prince. But??The changes in His Highness Lingcheng over the past two years are obvious. Not only am I taller, I am no longer as timid as before. He was no longer afraid when he saw the prince. As for the princess letting the two children go out and suffer, it is good for the children. It¡¯s just that most people are reluctant to part with it. "This is really something that ordinary people are not willing to give up. Mothers often feel distressed for a long time when they see their children bumping into each other. Grandma Rong also admires her in her heart.
ps: Haha, actually I like farming articles very much, and I especially want to write a farming article myself. (To be continued)
