"Old man, please teach me how to do it. I'll learn."
Jiang Pengji smiled. She rolled the wide hem up to her knees and secured it with a rope, revealing a pair of slender white calves.
As for the sleeves, she tied them up with a rope to make it easier for her to walk.
Xiaoxiao Gui: "Eh, the rope to secure the sleeves looks like it's from Japan …"
Laosiji Lianmeng: "Sleeves, also known as arm ropes. They're not from Japan. In fact, people in ancient China used ropes to secure sleeves so that they wouldn't get in the way of their work. But no one was wearing a robe with wide sleeves, so they didn't need it. "
Well, he was being taught a lesson.
Jiang Pengji secured the sleeves with Xu Ke's help. She stood beside the old tenant farmer and listened attentively to him teaching her how to harvest the grains.
After all, the old tenant farmer had worked in the fields his whole life, so he was very experienced.
Although he was old and had gray hair on his temples, he was no slower than the young men. He was even faster than them.
At that moment, Xu Ke keenly sensed that his Langjun's mood was a bit weird.
He thought to himself, Does Langjun think it's too difficult?
However, the scene that followed refreshed his worldview and limits. Langjun, who was thought to be inattentive and inattentive, only needed to watch it once. The old tenant farmer told her some things to pay attention to, and she was able to do it by herself.
"Langjun, you're really smart. You're much smarter than my grandson …"
The old tenant farmer was so happy that he complimented her, but he realized he had said something wrong after he finished.
How could they compare the status of his grandson and the Langjun in front of him?
If his grandson couldn't learn this skill, he would probably starve to death. Langjun, on the other hand, could live a luxurious life even though she didn't know what the grains looked like! When he thought of this, the old tenant farmer was so scared that his legs trembled. His face turned pale, and he almost fell to his knees.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Pengji revealed a very happy smile and spoke to him in a gentle and soft voice.
"It's not hard to see, but you need to pay attention to your posture and strength. Otherwise, your whole body will hurt."
The old tenant farmer didn't know how to control his posture and strength, but he had accumulated a lifetime's worth of experience.
Xu Ke stood to the side, and his face turned slightly better.
Jiang Pengji didn't seem to realize that the old tenant farmer had said something offensive. Instead, she quickly harvested the rest of the rice.
A quarter of an hour later, she sat on the ridge of the field, swinging her two slender white legs. Her forehead was faintly covered in a thin layer of sweat.
"Langjun, do you want to apply some medicine?"
Xu Ke held a small brown bottle in his hand, which contained a plaster that could remove blood stasis and stop bleeding.
Jiang Pengji looked at his hand, then looked at her calves and feet, which were scratched by the grains and foreign objects.
She understood and shook her head. She pointed to the seat beside her and gestured for him to sit down.
"That old farmer didn't mean to offend you …"
Xu Ke was sensitive to other people's emotions, and he had a better understanding of his Langjun. He knew that she was not in a good mood.
No matter how he thought about it, it seemed like the old tenant farmer's words were the only thing that offended him and made him unhappy.
However, Xu Ke was wrong this time.
Jiang Pengji had many flaws. She was capricious, arrogant, arrogant, and unruly … It seemed to be a common failing of the aristocratic families in this era. However, Jiang Pengji was different from those people. She would not hurt the weak and innocent, not to mention that the old farmer had no ill intentions.
"Are you pleading on behalf of someone else?" Jiang Pengji couldn't help but laugh. She said, "Xiaoyu, the premise of pleading is that you have to understand the whole story and know the truth. Otherwise, not only will your pleading fail, but it will also add fuel to the fire. I am not angry because of that … "
Xu Ke said seriously, "But you are indeed not in a good mood."
Jiang Pengji smiled and asked him in return, "Then do you know why I am not happy?"
Xu Ke was dumbfounded.
He even suspected that it was not that she was in a bad mood, but that she was simply using this as a pretext to torment him.
Xu Ke cupped his hands in front of his chest. His cheeks were slightly red. "I don't understand. Please enlighten me."
Jiang Pengji did not answer his question. Instead, she asked, "Do you think I was a burden when I harvested the grains?"
Xu Ke was speechless.
Sure enough, it was directed at him!
Before Xu Ke could recover from his confusion, Jiang Pengji continued, "Don't think that I look fine now. In fact, my back is aching. Farm work is not something that can be done with strength. If you don't know how to save energy, your muscles will definitely swell and your whole body will ache … "
Xu Ke listened to her quietly and looked at her profile.
To be honest, he always felt that his Langjun's face was a bit too delicate, like a girl's.
But that was the trend nowadays. Men had to put on incense, put on flowers, and dress gorgeously when they went out.
A group of enchanting bitches!
It was normal for her Langjun to look delicate. After all, she was still young, and it was hard to distinguish her gender.
When she got older, the difference would be huge.
"It's too hard."
Jiang Pengji's current physical fitness was trash in her eyes, but compared to her peers and even adult men, she was a crane in a flock of chickens!
With such fitness, she actually felt a bit tired after working for 15 minutes on the farm.
She felt that it was not worth it. The hard work and the results were completely disproportionate.
But even though she thought that way, the others felt that she was very capable and had a high level of understanding. She was no worse than the experienced tenants.
They were not from the same era, so there was a huge gap in their thinking.
"Langjun, you don't have to work so hard," Xu Ke said.
Her identity was different from those tenants. The latter needed to rely on the land, but she did not have to do anything to live a luxurious life.
"You're wrong to think that way." Jiang Pengji clasped her fingers together and rested her elbows on her knees. "I personally went down to the fields to experience it. Only then did I feel that the tenants are working hard. The hard work and sweat of the people are not equal to their harvest."
Xu Ke was secretly surprised. There were many things that were not equal in this world.
"If every household had access to more advanced farming tools, it wouldn't take much effort to reap an acre of land without breaking a sweat, and it would increase efficiency …" Jiang Pengji murmured. The ideas she had in her head couldn't be implemented in this world. She had to compromise and come up with other ideas. "A field that would normally take two hours to reap can be done in half a cup of tea's time …"
Xu Ke was speechless.
Did his Langjun … Did she go crazy from working in the fields?
"I need to go back and think about it. You'll be responsible for the things here. Whoever dares to slack off will be drilled to death by the head instructor. "
Jiang Pengji seemed to have an idea. She got up and put on the wooden clogs, ignoring Xu Ke.
Xu Ke was speechless.
Hey, don't stop halfway through. It's so uncomfortable to keep me in suspense!
He reached out his hand, but his Langjun walked like he was flying. He could walk in the fields with those wooden clogs as if he was walking on flat ground.
