Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

"Do you know how important that load of grain is to a farmer? Have you been high and mighty for too long that you can't see the soil below? You've wasted grain and humiliated old farmers. Do you think human life is meaningless to you? Your position allows you to decide lives and take enemy heads on the battlefield, but you can't be without reverence for human life. I think you've become arrogant."

Lan Yunchi's expression remained one of half-understanding.

Lan Wan'er did not continue lecturing him, but instead had her men hold down Lan Yunhan and Lan Zhiming, and each of them was whipped ten times.

"Do you know why I'm hitting you?"

"We are all family; if one suffers, we all suffer; if one prospers, we all prosper."

"That's one point. When he caused trouble, you were there, right? What were you doing? Just like him, you weren't looking down at the ground."

Lan Wan'er had the two girls brought over and gave each of them ten slaps on the hand: "Do you feel wronged that your aunt hit you?"

Lan Yuezhi blew on her palm, and Jinshu, who was about to hit her hand, didn't hit her hard.

"Aunt, Lan Yunchi was wrong. As a scion of a noble family, he enjoys wealth and luxury, yet he bullies a farmer. The Lan family's sharp edge should not be directed at its own people."

Lan Wan'er nodded: "Yuezhi is intelligent, but you still don't realize that Lan Yunchi's actions are a disaster for a farmer."

The child might have even chosen the most convincing way to appease her because he saw she was angry.

"Go back and each of you should cultivate a plot of land in the manor. Since there aren't many masters left in the manor, you can cultivate it as you like. You can pick any precious flowers and plants you want, depending on your physical strength. You can cultivate as much land as you want. You can find someone to give you guidance, but you must do all the work yourself. I will have someone watch over you."

"Yes," Lan Zhiming replied first.

"Remember this: the harvest from this land will be your staple food for next year. The more you harvest, the more you eat; the less you harvest, the less you'll go hungry!"

The children looked at each other in bewilderment. This was a completely foreign concept to them, and they had never expected their aunt to punish them in this way.

"Anfu, escort them out of the palace. Tell my second uncle and aunt my orders and carry them out strictly."

The children were sent back to the Lan family in a daze.

Lan Wan'er arranged for Qinghe to send a message, asking her father to personally find the farmer, offer him several times the compensation, and properly appease him.

When Xuan Chengyan arrived, he asked her with great interest, "I thought you had already punished them and made them copy books. Why did you come up with the idea of ​​punishing them by making them farm?"

"In this matter, a thousand bushels of grain in a book are not as valuable as a hoe in hand. Even if they hold high positions, they should understand the preciousness of food and drink, and they should have even greater respect for human life."

Xuan Chengyan's expression was complicated: "If Wan'er were a man, she would surely be one of my most trusted ministers."

"If I were a man, I would be expanding Your Majesty's territory right now. Why would I need to go through all this trouble and painstakingly educate a few little brats?"

"Hahaha, what a pity, I have lost a Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition."

"Your Majesty, in order to supervise them to do their work, the palace servants here may need to go out frequently to prevent them from cheating."

"I hereby grant you a special pardon. Your palace servants are permitted to leave the palace and visit the Marquis of Xiaoyong's residence every day."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

For the next six months or so, not only did the palace servants of Zhaoqing Palace go to watch the young masters and ladies work every day, but the Emperor also went to see them incognito, taking his two princes with him and Lan Wan'er with him. The Lan family's children suffered terribly under his watchful eyes, and the Lan family's second uncle and aunt were very nervous all day long. They even wanted to wash the stone lions at the gate every day.

Lan Wan'er did benefit from it, as she strolled through the markets of the capital several times and bought many things.

Xuan Chengyan chuckled: "Those exquisite items from the royal workshops are just ordinary things to you, but you treat the things from ordinary people as treasures and proudly display them in the most conspicuous places."

He was referring to a set of twelve zodiac animal wood carvings placed in the very center of the display cabinet.

"Things are valued for their rarity. Exquisite craftsmanship has its advantages, and ruggedness has its own charm," Lan Wan'er said in a good mood.

"That's true. By the way, your kids' farming isn't doing very well. If the harvest is bad, are you really planning to let them go hungry?"

"They will still go hungry for a few meals, but that's secondary. The main thing is that their harvest is not enough. When they harvest and work, they will definitely cherish every grain and keep it all in the basket." Lan Wan'er smiled. She kept a close eye on them and prevented anyone from helping them with the work, but she would always give them water when they ate so that they wouldn't really starve.

"That little guy Yunchi is very ambitious. Not only did he open up a large grain field, but he also opened a vegetable garden. He was so tired that he almost cried halfway through. Lang'er secretly helped him with some of the work, and his hands even got blisters."

Of the three boys, the most conservative was Zhiming, who only opened a small area to ensure he could manage it. The smartest was Yunhan, who initially opened a large area but found that his stamina and time couldn't support it, so he left an area slightly beyond his stamina, securing a minimum while also reserving room for his stamina to grow.

"Isn't Yunhan good?"

"It's really good. He asked the old farmer in advance to confirm the approximate yield, and he also asked the cook at home about his own appetite. He opened up the land according to his actual situation. It's a pity that he didn't take into account the inexperience of a novice." Xuan Chengyan said with great interest.

"He is the eldest son of this generation, the leader of the family. He is shrewd and not reckless. He is not exceptionally gifted, but he can be considered intelligent."

"How did you raise your two girls? They never complain."

"Boys and girls in our family are the same. They have been trained in physical fitness and martial arts since they were young, so they are in good health."

The Lan family's children were registered in the Emperor's sight. When the Emperor inquired about the princes' studies, he would also ask about the Lan family's children, which meant that the Emperor was personally teaching them.

The Lan family's nephews and nieces became very popular in the capital, but Lan Wan'er kept a close eye on them, turning away anyone who proposed marriage.

Being favored by the Emperor isn't all good; at least, her parents no longer have a say in her marriage.

Lan Wan'er was very satisfied with the development of her family and was becoming more and more comfortable in the harem.

In the blink of an eye, the Emperor has been on the throne for three years. The court has been basically straightened out, those who needed to be purged have been purged, and those who needed to be promoted have been promoted. Xuan Chengyan is in a good mood. In addition to celebrating with the court, he will also hold a grand Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the inner palace.

Lan Wan'er sat behind her desk drawing, while the servants busily selected clothes and jewelry for her to wear to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

The original owner had learned music, chess, calligraphy, painting, housekeeping, and management. During her mission, she familiarized herself with these skills and was able to use them. However, she could only take away what she had learned herself. Moreover, the original owner's delicate calligraphy, painting, music, and chess skills were not suitable for her. Therefore, when she was in the Eastern Palace, she changed her calligraphy books and started learning from scratch.
