Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich-Chapter 159 - 158 The Punishment for Sneaking Food
Chapter 159: Chapter 158 The Punishment for Sneaking Food Chapter 159 -158 The Punishment for Sneaking Food Meng Zhaojun was having breakfast when the pastries she had sent out through her maid were still in the little pageboy’s hands.
She had them made, but now she didn’t really want Tang Shunyan to eat them. Just thinking about how his little face might turn pale with diarrhea, bringing last night’s dream to reality, tugged at her heartstrings a bit.
After a few bites of breakfast, she had Liang Chen send someone to gather news about everything that happened today at Xinghe Academy.
Tang Shunyan went to the Ye family yesterday and was so excited that he couldn’t sleep, tossing and turning in bed. It was only after Jinhua sang him a lullaby-like tune that he fell asleep.
Jinhua sighed with relief. It was a precarious job to be a wet nurse, even a single slip could bring disaster.
Being a yet childless wet nurse, if it weren’t for Madam’s orders, she truly wouldn’t dare to take the role for Tang Shunyan. The young Master’s ideas were too grand; it was not an easy task.
Fortunately, the past year and more by Tang Shunyan’s side passed without incident.
Jinhua thought about how she had been married for over a year, and for Tang Shunyan’s sake, she and her husband dared not have children yet, always being cautious during their meetings. Despite the monotony, they were loving partners every single day.
Tomorrow was the young Master’s exam day, and she needed to make all the arrangements carefully, not daring to be negligent. Tonight, she would sleep in the room next to the young Master’s, not trusting the maid to watch over him as usual, nor would she return to sleep at the house her husband and father-in-law bought.
Upon waking, Tang Shunyan saw the dawn breaking. His internal clock woke him up every morning without the need for an hourglass or anyone calling him.
“Young Master, let me wash your face and brush your teeth. The kitchen has prepared your breakfast.”
“Hmm, for breakfast, I’ll have a glass of milk and some dim sum. No congee for me, too much liquid makes me pee too often.”

“Hmm,” Jinhua gestured for Chunxiang to take care of it.
After Tang Shunyan washed up, Chunxiang brought in the breakfast.
Qiu Xia carried away the washbasin.
Tang Shunyan had his breakfast and immediately went outside, where the little pageboy was already waiting for him. They got into the carriage together.
Escorting them to Xinghe Academy were also a concerned Jinhua, a driver for the carriage, and guards for protection.
When they all arrived at Xinghe Academy, the guard was the first to dismount and lift Tang Shunyan out of the carriage.
No sooner had Tang Shunyan been set down on the ground by the guard than a woman charged out from one side, carrying a basket in her hand.
“Young Master Tang Shunyan, our Lady has sent this breakfast for you. Please accept it on behalf of the Tang Family.”
Tang Shunyan recognized her as soon as he saw her clearly; the person offering the basket was Meng Zhaojun’s maid.
In his heart, Meng Zhaojun embodied the image of a formidable woman, and the food sent by her maid…
Tang Shunyan didn’t have any guard up, having eaten breakfast already, and with a wave, he let the little pageboy behind him take the basket of food.
The food sent by The Mengs was something Jinhua didn’t dare to delay considering. She thought that the food from Lady Meng would unlikely be poisoned.
Then, remembering the young Master had already eaten, she also had pastries made for him to eat if he got hungry.
“Young Master, I and the others will come to pick you up around noon.”
“Alright, wet nurse, you can go back,” said Tang Shunyan. Being young, unlike the older boys who stayed overnight, he would be sent back and forth from home, as the families were worried.
“Okay, I’ll go back after delivering some things for you.”
Of course, what Jinhua was delivering were the lychees and fruits brought back from the Ye family the day before. Since the teachers were bathing and resting yesterday and it was inconvenient to deliver them to their residences, the day-old fruits were still fresh, indicative of the Ye family’s outstanding products.
“Tang Shunyan, did Meng Zhaojun send you food again?”
“Hmm…” Tang Shunyan smiled noncommittally, each time Meng Zhaojun sent something, the little buddies would tease him, but actually, he did have a reciprocal gift. All right!
“Tang Shunyan, Meng Zhaojun is so good to you. We know her as well, but we never see her giving us food or toys to play with.”
There was a hint of jealousy in the little buddy’s words.
“Tang Shunyan, the lychees and watermelon you brought back yesterday were so delicious. We even cooked the melon you brought back, it tasted so great, I ate until I was stuffed.”
Tang Xiyue patted his stomach; he had eaten watermelon and lychees in the morning, and his family had insisted he eat breakfast too, leaving his tummy all round.
“That’s not very friendly of you, Tang Shunyan. Tang Xiyue can have fruits, and you give them to him but not to us.”
“Yeah! It’s like we aren’t brothers with you guys.”
The complaints of the two buddies made Tang Xiyue cover his mouth, feeling he had said too much.
However, Tang Shunyan did not blame Tang Xiyue and smiled as he said, “Of course, I have something for you too, but right now we’re about to enter the academy for our examination, and it’s not convenient for us to eat. When my wet nurse comes to pick me up at noon, she’ll bring something for you guys.”
“Really? That’s great.”
“That’s what true buddies do.”
Tang Shunyan was hugged by the arms of the two buddies as they entered the academy together.
The older students who were bigger than them looked at their antics and laughed with a snort.
These two days of examination must bring these little ones to their knees; having these kids around, the family kept pushing them which felt too exhausting.
The little pageboy escorted the young Master into the room inside the academy, holding the food box in his hand, uncertain whether to keep it or throw it away.
Since the young Master left no instructions, he could only wait outside holding the food box.
Tang Shunyan entered the classroom and soon after, the teacher arrived to assess them on ancient texts, not only requiring them to write essays but also compose poetry.
Such an advanced examination stumped many.
After an hour of examination, Tang Shunyan couldn’t say he wrote very smoothly, but he wrote whatever he could.
As for whether the essays were well written, as long as he tried his best it was fine; he hadn’t thought about taking the child student exam yet, he should consider that after moving to a higher class.
During the examination, the teacher kept walking back and forth while some students bit their pen caps, showing their frustration at not being able to write anything.
Yet, some students were so nervous that they urgently needed to go to the bathroom.
The little pageboy was waiting outside and saw that some older students or those in the young Master’s class, along with students from the classroom next door and even those from lower levels, there were continuously people going in and out, running towards the toilets.
As he waited and waited, the little pageboy grew bored and boldly opened the food box. Under the gaze of other pageboys, he took a piece of cake and ate it.
The little pageboy enjoyed the cake, which had milk flavor and was sweet and fragrant with a piece of lychee he had picked yesterday, squinting his eyes in delight.
Thinking after eating one piece of cake, the young Master probably wouldn’t notice, right?
The little pageboy dared not eat any more after one piece of cake; but as he closed the food box, he felt a pain in his stomach, and the idea of needing the restroom hit him.
He ran toward the toilet holding his stomach quickly, only carrying the young Master’s bag behind, leaving the food box on a bench in the hallway.
Among the other Attendant Students waiting for their masters outside, some dared to stealthily open the food box, lured by the cake’s milky fragrance, they picked up a piece and sneakily ate it.
Once one person dared to do it, others followed suit; but when so many ate up all the cakes inside the box, they all ended up running toward the toilets clutching their stomachs.
