Chapter 882: Sister-in-law’s Dowry [3]

However, today's experience has made them grow a lot, and they know what it means to be in a desperate situation...

Even if they are fierce tigers and their literary talent is the best among their peers, once they go to the countryside or change to another field, they become a group of waste.

The fact that the field was not in line with their own talents made them think deeply.

They also decided to write a few policy papers on this topic.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Jia." Zhou Rong thanked Jia Xiang cleverly. He really was working hard all the time to win the hearts of the students.

Seeing this, other students also thanked Jia Xiang.

Jia Xiang was flattered and quickly stood up to return the greeting: "Thank you for your courtesy, fellow students. I only know how to build a simple stove and make a fire to cook. I still have a lot of shortcomings in my studies. I hope you can give me more guidance."

Si Pei said straightforwardly: "Don't worry, as long as you come to ask for advice, we will definitely answer your questions."

Kang Rong was nagging him in his heart... Your bad luck proves your own inability. You are already incompetent, and you still want to teach Jia Xiang. Do you know how to teach him? !

"..." Kang Lang was speechless and wanted to remind his fellow tribesman that next time when he laughed at others in his heart, he should control the expression on his face.

Your facial features are almost acting out a drama.

After everyone finished eating, Ying Zilin said, "My fellow students, please go to bed early. Teacher Xun may wake us up early tomorrow morning."

The students were startled when they heard this and nodded in agreement: "Brother Ying is right. With our master's temper, we will definitely not have an easy life."

Ahem, Ying Zilin coughed twice: "My fellow students, we shouldn't criticize our elders."

Kang Yong: “…”

Your worry is unnecessary.

The old master wants to sit down and criticize himself with us!

In order to prevent Mr. Xun from bothering them early in the morning, the students quickly finished their meal, washed up, and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Sadly, today was so exciting that they couldn't sleep.

I finally fell asleep in the second half of the night, but was woken up by the sound of gongs before the morning.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The soldiers in the restaurant rang the gong and shouted, "By order of Master Xun, all students please get up and wash. After half past the hour of Mao, follow Master Xun on time to set off. There is a new task to be done!"

New Job?!

The students got up with a start, despite being very sleepy, and lined up at the well to wash... Because servants were not allowed to come in to serve, and they were in a hurry, they gathered around the well and squatted to wash.

Soldiers: “…”

In just one day, the young masters turned into rough country guys.

Hey, hey, hey, don’t rush to fight. If someone falls into the well, we will have to rescue him!

Water, the water for rinsing your mouth, should be spit into your own basin, don’t spray it into the well, that water is needed for eating, drinking and cooking!

The soldiers were speechless, but old Xun and old Jing were laughing.

"These guys are pretty good. They can adapt to the environment quickly."

But, hehe.

Xun Lao smiled evilly.

Upon seeing this, Master Jing took a few steps back... Master, you can just punish the students, but never lay a hand on me, your disciple.

At half past the morning, the students gathered in the main lobby of Taifeng Restaurant.

Old Man Xun called out to them: "Come on, I will take you to do some big work!"

Big job?

Many students’ eyes lit up and they were surprised.

"I didn't expect there would be such a big job for us to do in the countryside? Are we supposed to interrogate some spies secretly detained by the government troops?"

"It's possible. I heard that the descendants of spies were caught in Wansong Village. There are also spies' tunnels underground in Wansong Village. Gold was also found hidden in the tunnels..."

"Maybe we should study the things we have excavated to see if we can decipher the conspiracy of the East Desert Party."

"..." Old Man Xun looked at Old Man Qiong, his eyes full of condemnation. Look at what you have taught these children to be like? They are too imaginative. If it gets any worse, they can be diagnosed with hysteria!

Mr. Jing was innocent. How could I have known that they were so naive and incapable of changing their thinking according to the situation? I thought they were still alive in Wuyuan, the capital.

Dangdang Dangdang!

"Let's set off!" Captain Zhong personally escorted them to their destination.

"Oh, oh, the scholars and juren are coming out!"

"They are here so early. Where are they going?" The villagers of Taifeng Town had already gone out to work. When they saw the students, they came over to watch.

Captain Zhong glared at them coldly, and the villagers shrank back, not daring to approach the students, and just followed them from a distance to watch.

The students still had a lot of scholarly baggage, and when they saw the villagers following them, each of them displayed the elegance of their scholarly manners as they walked.

However, they soon lost their elegance.

Just because their destination is the Qin family's medicinal materials workshop.

Old Man Xun pointed at a pile of building materials and said, "This is the medicinal material workshop. It must be completed before the end of autumn. The most important strategic materials in wartime are medicinal materials, so this medicinal material workshop is a heavy weapon to fight the enemy... Your recent task is to help build the medicinal material workshop and build a heavy weapon to fight the enemy for our Northeast Province of Great Wei!"

Old man Xun is indeed a senior charlatan and is quite good at boasting.

The students looked at the huge pile of bricks, stones, tiles and wood, the large construction site and the newly-employed craftsmen and were at a loss.

This?

Ying Zilin bravely asked Master Jing: "Master, do you really want us to do these rough jobs?"

"What is rough work? What is fine work? You can't do these jobs?" Jing Lao asked him back, and then sighed: "The Duke said that if you want to make some real achievements, you can't just read books, you have to go deep into the world and do the work. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get rid of the empty and the real. Do you understand?"

Ying Zilin was startled, and felt as if he had just been enlightened. He bowed and said, "Disciple, I understand."

Ying Zilin turned to the students and repeated what Mr. Jing had said. Finally, he said, "My fellow students, this task is the beginning of our journey to get rid of the empty and embrace the real. No matter how hard or tiring it is, we must do it well!"

Students: "Get rid of the empty and embrace the real, and don't be afraid of hard work!"

If you don’t know, you might think this is some kind of religious scene.

Qin Xiaomi's family rushed over after hearing the news, and this was the scene they saw.

Qin Xiaomi's face turned black, and she asked Jiang Dalang, "Call old man Xun over."

"Okay, I'll go call him right now. Xiaomi, don't be angry yet." Jiang Dalang went to call Mr. Xun.

Xun Lao immediately came running over with Jing Lao: "Young Master An, it's rare to be here so early today."

"If you don't come soon, my herbal medicine shop will be destroyed by you!" Qin Xiaomi wanted to slap him. She pointed at the student and asked, "What's going on? If you don't tell me the real reason, no one will have a good day today."

If she brings these young men to her herbal medicine shop, will the shop still be able to operate?

If someone gets hurt or dies, who will be responsible? Her family!

"The herbal medicine shop is not a place for them to play house!" Qin Xiaomi added angrily.

"Young master, please allow me to report." Mr. Xun hurriedly explained the situation, plan, and benefits.

It was because the Duke of Yan wanted to reform these students, so the old man brought them here to do hard work for a month or so.

The advantage is that the young masters have great reputations. Changji Pharmacy has seen so many young masters working in the medicine shop, so when they want to make some moves, they will be cautious.

Grandpa Qin has always defended Duke Yan and respected Old Xun. Hearing this, he advised, "Xiaomi, your reason is very serious. How about we agree to it?"

Uncle Qin... Dad, you can be a coward sometimes!

Ha, Qin Xiaomi let out a cold laugh, which frightened Old Xun so much that he shrank back, thinking that she was going to start a killing spree.

"You must leave before September. If anything happens, you and Duke Yan will be held responsible, not my family. Don't come to my house for anything, I won't provide you with food. Don't delay the construction of the herbal medicine shop. Pay them, one ounce of gold per person. If you don't pay, leave."

Uncle Qin's eyes widened when he heard this, and Old Man Xun gave him a thumbs up: "When it comes to making money, the young boss is still the best."
