I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 945 - Chapter 945 Incident

Chapter 945: Incident Chapter 945: Incident Editor: Atlas Studios Little Bear majestically led the group of children to mess with his clams.

However, they returned at night with their heads drooped.

Even the usually carefree Little Lion and Tiger Head had their heads lowered, looking very dejected.

Little An walked between them with a frown, obviously very troubled as well.

Mu Yangling was playing with Little Fu in her arms.

This child had just turned 100 days old and could already move his head very cleverly.

He was looking around with his round eyes.

Seeing his older brothers enter, he let out a cry and stuffed one fist into his mouth while waving at them with the other.

Little An went forward, grabbed his younger brother’s hand, and waved it.

Seeing them like this, Little Madam Xia asked with a smile, “What’s wrong with you brothers?

Why are you frowning?

Were you bullied?” Mu Yangling wrapped Little Fu up before taking the time to reply, “Who would dare to bully them?

It’s already not bad if they don’t bully others.

Tell me, did you get into trouble or encounter a problem?” Little Bear briefly mentioned the matter of filling the clam with sand and said, “Mother, didn’t you say that the pearls were ground by the clams?

Then how does one pour the sand into them?

I opened two earlier.

There wasn’t even a small grain of sand inside, let alone pearls.” Mu Yangling coughed lightly and hugged Little Fu to cover up.

She asked, “Have you asked the fishermen?

Since they frequently come into contact with clams, they might know.” The four children pouted and looked at her.

Little Bear could not hide the disappointment in his eyes.

“So Mother doesn’t know either.” Mu Yangling shook her head.

How would she know?

Everyone who had attended junior high school knew the origin of pearls, but she really didn’t know how to raise them.

If the children hadn’t told her, she wouldn’t even have known what sea clams ate.

Thinking about it this way, she seemed to be quite useless.

Mu Yangling tried her best to think.

“Why don’t we break open the clam and pour the sand in?” “Mother, that’s a clam.

It needs a lot of strength to open it.

We’ve all tried it, and Big Brother is the only one who could open it.” Little Lion tilted his head and said, “Are you going to help us?

But there are so many clams.

How long will it take to fill all those clams?” Tiger Head nodded repeatedly.

“We bought a lot of clams.” Little An counted with his fingers and said, “About 5,000.” Mu Yangling looked at them awkwardly, temporarily speechless.

“You brought so many friends with you today, but none of you could figure out a way?” Little Bear shook his head.

“It didn’t have much effect.

The group of us only managed to fill up six clams after staying there for a day.

We simply left the clams on the sea and waited for them to open their mouths.

When a clam opened its mouth, we took the opportunity to pour the sand in.” Mu Yangling felt that it was best to consult the experts, so they should find someone who was knowledgeable in this area.

Hence, she said, “Why don’t I take you to ask the fishermen nearby?” The four children shook their heads in unison.

They had also asked the nearby fishermen, but there were no pearl divers here.

Those fishermen would simply kill the clam when they did manage to catch a big one.

Naturally, they would be happy if there were pearls inside.

Even if there wasn’t, it was fine.

Hence, none of them knew how to make the clams open their mouths to suck in foreign particles.

Mu Yangling’s eyebrows jumped.

The people who knew the sea clams the best were none other than the pearl divers.

Because the four children wanted to raise pearls, she had also focused on gathering knowledge in this area.

Nowadays, pearls were divided into Eastern Pearls, Northern Pearls, and Southern Pearls.

Among them, Eastern Pearls and Southern Pearls were the most precious, and Southern Pearls were even more precious.

The Eastern Pearl and the Northern Pearl were freshwater pearls.

The Eastern Pearl was named after its roundness and colorful color.

As for the Southern Pearl, it was a sea pearl that was produced in the northern bay area of Hepu, Guangxi.

According to historical records, since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Southern Pearl had been presented as tributes to the royal family.

Previously, even though there was also a maritime ban in Guangxi, the pearl divers under the employment of the Imperial Court were exempted from this ban.

However, Southern Pearls were hard to find, and even among a thousand clams, one might not find a single such pearl.

In addition, because pearls were harvested wantonly during the Tang dynasty, Southern Pearls were even rarer now.

As a result, it could fetch a very high price.

On the other hand, there were more Eastern Pearls, and because they were smuggled from Great Jin, they were even more popular.

Considering Guangdong and Guangxi were not far apart, she did not need to look for the pearl divers hired by the Imperial Court since there were also many pearl divers in the fishing village there.

If she invited a few of those divers over, the children would have someone to help manage their aquatic farm.

At least then, the children wouldn’t have to explore blindly.

So Mu Yangling said, “Then I’ll get someone to go to Guangxi and find a few pearl divers for you.

They might know how to make the clam open its mouth.” “Then let’s set off tomorrow.” Little Bear was too old to wheedle, so he nudged Tiger Head, who immediately rolled into Mu Yangling’s arms and twisted his body.

“Mother, let’s go tomorrow.

Let’s go tomorrow.” Mu Yangling twisted his ear and said with a smile, “You’re a boy.

Who taught you to wheedle like this?

Thos who don’t know better would think that you’re a girl.” Tiger Head let out a cry and betrayed his brothers decisively.

He shouted, “Brother was the one who taught me.

He asked me to wheedle like this.” Little Lion was unconvinced.

“Brother, you’re lying.

You were clearly the one who came up with this idea with me.” Seeing that they had messed up the way they addressed each other again, Mu Yangling twisted Tiger Head’s ear slightly and said, “Tiger Head, you’ve got to decide on the order of seniority between you two once and for all.

You can’t call him ‘Older Brother’ today but call him ‘Younger Brother’ tomorrow.

The servants at home are confused by you two.” As the twins were still young, their appearances were still very similar.

Besides, these two brats liked to play tricks on people and often wore the same clothes to confuse others.

Adding to the fact that they weren’t consistent in the way they addressed each other, the servants at home often mixed up the duo.

Feeling a slight pain in his ear, Tiger Head quickly agreed.

He asked, “Then who’s older in the genealogical tree, Second Brother or I?” Mu Yangling glanced at Little Lion from the corner of her eye and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

She felt that she must have been infected by Qi Haoran.

What did this matter of seniority have to do with her?

Why should she feel embarrassed?

Mu Yangling said, “Your Royal Uncle is the one responsible for writing your names in the genealogical tree.

Your proper names have also been chosen for you.

This is a big deal.

When your father comes back, let him officially inform you.” Since this trouble was caused by Qi Haoran, it was better to let him deal with it.

The moment Qi Haoran returned, he faced this shocking thunderbolt.

He asked, “Who mentioned the genealogical tree to them?” Mu Yangling glared at him and said, “How old are the children?

How long do you plan to hide it from them?

Quickly wash up and change your clothes before going to the reception pavilion.

The children are waiting for you there.” Sighing, Qi Haoran said, “Look at how sensible Little Lion is.

One look and you can tell that he’s the older brother.

I already said that he must have pushed Tiger Head out at birth.

Due to these reasons, he should be the older brother.

But Big Brother didn’t believe me.

Now that Little Lion has been an older brother for so many years, he’ll definitely be sad to suddenly be reduced to a younger brother.” Mu Yangling rolled her eyes at him and wrung a towel to wipe his face.

She said, “If you hadn’t suggested it, would Little Lion and Tiger Head have thought of changing their seniority?

Royal Brother was already giving you face by not smacking you.” Aside from the four children, there was also Fan Zijin in the reception pavilion.

When he returned home, Little Madam Xia had asked him for Tiger Head and Little Lion’s names.

Knowing that something had happened, he specially came to watch the joke.

However, he was obviously early.

Since Qi Haoran had yet to come out, the four children were playing in the reception pavilion.

He couldn’t just sit there and do nothing, so he called the four children over to quiz them on their homework.
