Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 262 The Stable Boy Transforms into a General

This was the first time Jiang He had accompanied her mother to the temple.

Jiang Mu made many prayers: for peace, for health, and for everything to go smoothly.

Pray for Jiang's father, for his children, and for himself.

The temple was very crowded and the incense was very strong.

Jiang's mother also ran into an acquaintance here.

They chatted hand in hand, and he even praised Jiang He for being cute.

Jiang He called out "Auntie" and returned a sweet smile.

The temple also has beautiful scenery, with a large peach orchard on the back mountain.

Many people come specifically for the peach blossom grove, climbing the mountain to admire the flowers.

Jiang's mother took Jiang He for a walk and they looked at the peach blossoms.

Before we knew it, it was getting late.

The nanny reminded the lady that it was time to go back.

Jiang Mu nodded, left the temple, and prepared to return home.

The little horses were waiting by the carriage, and they all started to doze off.

The old woman stepped forward and woke up the little horse.

"Little Ma, wake up, it's time to go home."

Xiao Ma really felt very tired.

I was hit with a board yesterday, and it hurt all night. I had to sleep on my stomach and couldn't sleep much at all.

Today was another long and tiring day, and I'm extremely exhausted.

However, since his master was leaving, Xiao Ma forced himself to adjust and hurried back to the mansion.

Going downhill is much faster than going uphill.

On the way back, Xiao Ma didn't have any further problems.

They returned to the Jiang residence without incident.

Xiao Ma stopped the carriage and knelt down in front of it, waiting for Jiang He to get off.

"Grandma, Xiaohe is asleep. She must be tired after playing all day."

Have someone take Xiaohe back to her room so she can get a good night's sleep.

Oh, and fetch a cloak, so Xiaohe doesn't catch a cold.

The old woman responded and went into the mansion to call for someone.

The nanny could also carry Jiang He.

However, since the nanny is dirty and needs to carry the young lady back to her room to rest, we should find someone who is clean.

The people inside the carriage did not get off; it turned out the young lady had already fallen asleep.

Without saying a word, Little Horse got up from the ground, stood aside, and waited quietly.

When the nanny went to call for help, she ran into the master.

The master himself came out, wrapped Jiang He in a cloak, carried her out, and took her back to her room.

The master and mistress said nothing and went straight back to their residence.

Xiao Ma felt a little relieved. Since the master and mistress hadn't said anything, he figured they probably wouldn't punish him today.

Little Horse drove the carriage to the back door and went in through the back door.

Take the horse to be cleaned and put it back in the stable.

When Old Ma saw Little Ma return, he came out with a stern face and asked Little Ma if he knew he was wrong.

Old Ma's sudden questioning made Little Ma very uncomfortable.

He just forgot to bring his footstool, and the butler scolded him; now Old Ma wants to scold him too.

He didn't bring a footstool, so wouldn't it be the same if he knelt down and let the lady step on his back?

The master and mistress didn't say anything, so why should Old Ma lecture him?

Little Horse was unconvinced and casually replied, "I know."

Old Ma could tell from Xiao Ma's dismissive attitude that he hadn't listened.

Old Ma spoke more seriously to Little Ma, criticizing Little Ma's wrong behavior that day.

The horseback riding activity from yesterday was mentioned again.

Xiao Ma was already in a bad mood because he had been punished yesterday.

Old Ma kept bringing it up, which made Little Ma very angry.

Old Ma, relying on his seniority, criticizes and judges him.

These things only need to be said once; he has already remembered them.

Why do we need to keep emphasizing these things to him?

Xiao Ma thinks Lao Ma is actually quite hypocritical.

They clearly told him to rest today and not to do anything.

But Old Ma ran out early in the morning.

Little Horse still spent the whole day running around outside.

His wounds have reopened, and he's covered in mud, making him very uncomfortable.

Old Ma is still harping on his mistakes.

If Lao Ma really cared about him, why didn't he ask how his wound was? Was he tired? Why didn't he get him some water to wash it off properly?

Xiao Ma ignored Lao Ma's accusations, went back into the house, and took off his clothes.

Old Ma followed behind Little Ma and came in. When he saw Little Ma's back, which was covered in blood and gore, he exclaimed in shock.

"Xiao Ma, how did your back injury get so bad? Lie down quickly, let me put some medicine on it for you."

Upon hearing Old Ma's words, Little Ma turned his back and sneered.

If it weren't for that long accusation, he might have believed that Old Ma cared about him to some extent.

However, he did need someone to help him apply the medicine, so Xiao Ma didn't say anything and lay down on the bed.

Old Ma tenderly treated Little Ma's wounds, muttering to himself as he did so.

Xiao Ma did not respond at all.

Old Ma looked closely and saw that Little Ma had already fallen asleep.

This child has suffered today.

Old Ma treated the wound, pulled the blanket over Little Ma, and left the room.

Jiang He had just carried him back to the room and put him on the bed when he woke up.

"Father, Mother, where is this?" Jiang He rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"Xiao He is still half asleep. Of course we are home. We are back now."

"You fell asleep in the carriage, your father carried you in." Jiang's mother patted Jiang He's head; the little one was still half asleep.

"Xiao He, would you like to sleep a little longer?"

"I'm not going to sleep anymore, Xiaohe isn't sleepy anymore."

Jiang He shook her head.

I told Jiang's father about going to the temple today.

Father Jiang agreed, saying they would go see the peach blossom grove together next time.

In the evening, Jiang He's brother, Jiang Tao, came over to have dinner together.

Jiang Tao is now ten years old and has to study his lessons every day.

Learning to read and write, and reading account books—the daily learning tasks are quite demanding.

Despite his young age, Jiang Tao has already shown great interest in business.

Father Jiang was also very happy, as his son could follow in his footsteps.

Sometimes, when Mr. Jiang went out to discuss business, he would take Jiang Tao with him.

They intentionally started to let Jiang Tao get involved in some business matters.

"Father, Mother, Sister." Jiang Tao came in and sat down in his seat.

"Brother, I went out with Mom today. Can you come with me next time?"

Jiang He happily shared her joy with Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao is still just a ten-year-old child.

His mother took his younger sister out to play, and he naturally longed to go too.

However, he has daily homework to do, so he can't just go out whenever he wants.

"To be honest, it's been a long time since our family went out together."

"Once I've finalized this deal, my family and I will go out for a walk together."

Jiang's father saw the longing in Jiang Tao's eyes.

My son is still a child.

Business is not in a rush.

It's okay to take a day off from studying.

Jiang He and Jiang Tao were already excitedly whispering about where they were going to play.

Over there, Mr. Jiang asked Mrs. Jiang if everything went smoothly when they went out today.

The greatest success is arriving home safely after a trip.

Jiang's mother took out the peace charms she had obtained at the temple that day and put them into the pouches worn by everyone.

This is a monthly ritual that Jiang's mother performs, and the three of them obediently cooperate.

Every day, she wears a peace charm that her mother specially obtained.
