The young couple from the farm fights back

Chapter 131 Arrange a close person for the child

In the afternoon after the ceremony, Jiang Li took the children back to the front hall for lunch. Even though the environment had changed, Jiang Li still did not like excessive extravagance and asked the kitchen to prepare the same food as before.

One meat dish, two vegetable dishes and one soup, all of which are common dishes on the island, including braised pork ribs, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, scrambled eggs with sauerkraut, and a light fish head soup.

Anger felt his knees ached from kneeling today and needed to eat a couple more spare ribs to help. The children ate very quietly, a sign of the table manners Zhou Chunfeng had taught them.

Jiang Li put down his chopsticks, picked up the soup bowl and took a sip. Looking at the children's mouths shining with oil after eating, he couldn't help but smile.

"Tomorrow morning, you must get up an hour earlier to practice with Uncle Mingye."

Que Ge'er and Heng Ge'er nodded in agreement. They remembered that their mother [aunt] said that after practicing martial arts, they would be able to protect their mother and younger brothers and sisters, as well as themselves.

Jing Ge'er stuffed a large piece of scrambled eggs into his mouth, blinked his eyes, and said in a vague voice: "Mother, Jing Ge'er will practice hard and kill the bad guys in the future."

puff~

Among the children, Jing'er is the toughest. Not only is his personality different from that of the original couple, but it is also not very similar to her and Zhou Chunfeng. It is unclear who he takes after.

"it is good."

An Ge'er looked at Jiang Li in confusion: "Mom, does An Ge'er have to get up early too?"

He is still young, does he need to practice martial arts too?

Isn't it enough for the brothers to practice martial arts? With the brothers here, they will definitely be able to protect An Ge'er.

"Of course!" Jiang Li could see what this kid was thinking. If Jing Ge'er was the tough one, then An Ge'er was the smartest one.

Hearing this, An Ge pursed his lips and replied sullenly: "Oh~"

Then he asked, "Sister, do you practice martial arts too?"

Jiang Li really didn't want to roll her eyes at the boy. Where did she learn this from? "My sister is still young. In two years, I will practice martial arts with you brothers."

"Oh~"

Well, his sister is still young, and as an older brother he should really practice martial arts and protect his sister no matter what.

Fang, who was holding Lan Jie'er at the side, couldn't help but smile softly when she saw the cute appearance of the little master.

At this time, Yuan Niang slowly approached and said, "Madam."

Jiang Li looked at the person who came and nodded in understanding. He wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and stood up, telling Fang: "Thank you for watching here. I will be away with Yuan Niang for a while."

"Yes, ma'am."

Earlier, Uncle Qi, as the elder with more influence in the clan, had suggested selecting close associates for the brothers. Especially for Ang, who would one day take over the position of island master, if a good one could be selected and placed by his side for training, he would be more useful than a bodyguard in the future.

Jiang Li heard that every five years, a group of children with good qualifications are selected from the tribe to be trained as guards, but very few children can be selected.

The news was released just after the morning ceremony, but unexpectedly, the clan sent their young man here so soon.

When Jiang Li walked out of the hall, he saw Ming Ye and the others had brought dozens of boys and maids with them. Could it be that they were trying to imitate the wealthy families and place a few useful maids around the young man?

Seeing this, Yuan Niang quickly explained, "Madam, a while ago I heard you mention that you wanted to pick a few clever girls from the clan to be your medicine boys and learn medical skills. I thought, if they are good, I would keep a few of them to work by your side, so that they can be taught by you from a young age and help you share your worries when they grow up."

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow and smiled: "That's a good idea. I really want to start a class."

Yuan Niang was still worried that acting on her own would displease Lady Li, but after hearing this, she felt relieved.

Ming Ye stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Madam Li, these boys are all nephews and nieces of the clan who are of good physique. I have selected them all. Madam, please review and select them."

Jiang Li understood, and her eyes fell curiously on a child who was less than three years old: "This child seems a little younger."

Ming Qing, standing aside, bowed awkwardly and said, "Madam Li, he is my son. If you dislike him, I will let my wife take him home."

Ming Qing is the oldest among Ming Ye's plainclothes guards. He has a calm and introverted temperament. The wife he married is not talkative, but she is a good worker.

Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. He's about the same age as An Ge'er. Let him follow An Ge'er, and the two boys can play together."

Ming Qing and his wife were overjoyed and knelt down excitedly to express their gratitude: "Your servant thanks my lady for your kindness."

"Get up."

"Thank you, my lady."

Seeing this, Yuan Niang couldn't help but step forward and said softly, "Madam, why don't you pick two more boys from An Ge'er's side, some older and better to take care of the master."

"Okay." Jiang Li looked at the children lined up in two rows in front of him. All of them were in high spirits, with timidity and expectation in their eyes.

Jiang Li thought for a moment, raised his hand and pointed at two children aged five or six, then waved to the boy from the Mingqing family: "Come here."

The Mingqing family hurriedly signaled their children to come forward. The three boys took a few steps forward hesitantly, looking at each other, feeling restrained and at a loss.

"What are your names?"

The boy from the Mingqing family raised his head in confusion, not at all shy: "My name is Xing Mu!"

After the little guy finished speaking, he smiled sweetly at Li, and the two dimples on his cheeks were particularly adorable.

Mingqing and his wife were afraid that their son's unruly behavior would be disliked by Lady Li.

But Jiang Li took his hand with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, you are a smart kid."

Xing Mu felt that he was being praised, and his eyes curved with joy. He turned around and looked at his parents. He didn't understand why his parents were so nervous, because the aunt in front of him was obviously very easy to get along with.

Mingqing and his wife: ...

Jiang Li looked at the three children and had another plan in mind. He said, "Ange'er is still young, and Xing Mu and the two boys are not that old either. I have a lot of things to do now, so it's inevitable that I will neglect the children." After that, he looked at Ming Qing and his wife and said, "Then, the two of you will stay with Ange'er and take care of him. Are you willing?"

Ming Qing and his wife quickly knelt down to express their gratitude: "Your servants are willing to swear allegiance to you until death."

"it is good."

Next, Jiang Li picked three children who were about the same age as Que Ge'er and the other boys and asked them to stay with the child to take care of him.

Then, she picked out two little girls, about five years old, who looked attractive to her. "You two will stay with Aunt Fang in the future and learn to do things as much as you can."

"Yes."

The two girls Jiang Li picked out were to be the ones to surround Lan Jie'er.

The remaining boys and girls who hadn't been chosen looked at Jiang Li with increasing trepidation. Jiang Li gestured to Ming Ye and said, "These children were carefully selected by you. These boys will stay in Jianglin Pavilion and be trained as the new generation of guards."

"I give orders."

"Let the girl stay too." Jiang Li knew that the clansmen had finally sent the girl out with great difficulty, and they all hoped that the child would stay in Jianglin Pavilion.

"After a few days, when I am more comfortable, you can learn medicine from me."

Seeing this, Yuan Niang quickly signaled to the group of maids: "Why don't you thank Madam Li quickly?"

The little girls were very sharp-minded and could see the situation clearly. They knew they didn't need to be sent home, so they knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude.
