"Alright, then we’ll wait until you’re a bit older!"
The Eldest Princess listened to Yuan Bao and agreed without any hesitation.
Thinking that she finally didn’t have to waste her ti on these things, Yuan Bao was in a great mood.
Seeing the Eldest Princess and others deeply engrossed in their card ga, Yuan Bao took the opportunity to bid farewell, she had to go check on her two little brothers!
When she ca earlier, Yuan Bao brought the two little ones with her, but once they started playing cards, she had Nanny Xue take the two to go read.
As the old saying goes, education should begin at an early age; one can be poor in anything but education.
Considering that so cousins turned out wayward, Yuan Bao paid a lot of attention to educating her two brothers.
It’s not about making them excel in both literature and martial arts, but at least they should be competent in both.
They can’t fail in both literature and martial arts!
Therefore, from when the two were little, Yuan Bao paid great attention to their enlightennt.
The facts have proven that the results are quite good.
Leaving the Eldest Princess’s place, Yuan Bao quickly returned to her own courtyard and saw Yuan Shouqian and Yuan Shousun who were reading.
To prevent the little ones from growing tired of studying, Yuan Bao didn’t start them off with the Four Books and Five Classics, but instead had soone prepare many interesting little stories for them to read and listen to.
People in later generations often say that interest is the best teacher.
This is a principle summarized by people of later generations.
As for whether this principle applies to her two brothers, it had to be tried to know.
After all, practice is the only criterion for testing here.
With Yuan Bao’s various guidance, the two little ones beca very interested in reading.
They especially liked reading history books and poetry.
The little stories in the history books were what interested them the most.
And then there were those beautiful poems, it’s unclear how the two little ones developed their sense of appreciation.
Not long after Yuan Bao returned, Yuan Shouqian and Yuan Shousun noticed.
The attention span of little children is really just that short.
"Big Sis, Big Sis!"
The two little ones saw Yuan Bao and imdiately put down their books, happily rushing towards her.
"Stop, don’t rush forward!"
Yuan Bao saw the two running over and quickly stepped back two paces.
The force these two little ones have now is really strong; if Yuan Bao isn’t prepared, she might be hit and unable to stand steadily.
Hearing Yuan Bao’s words, the two indeed braked suddenly, stopping three feet in front of her.
"Big Sis, play, let’s play!"
The two stopped, then each grabbed one of Yuan Bao’s hands, urging her to take them out to play.
"It’s so cold, there’s really nothing fun to do!"
"Fishing!"
"Let’s go fishing!"
The two brothers spoke in unison, "Just like at ho!"
At ho!
The ho these two brothers were referring to was the one in Yann County.
Winters in Yann County are colder and last longer than those in Yunyang City.
Every winter, when snow blocks the mountains and paths, the two little ones, with nothing to do and too much energy, beco very bored. If they can’t release their excess energy by day, these two little ones can stay awake half the night.
They may not sleep at night and can catch up during the day, but the adults can’t.
Especially for Yuan Yindi, who has public affairs to handle during the day. If he doesn’t sleep well at night, he will be drowsy all day.
For this, Yuan Bao tried to find various ways to help the two brothers expend their excess energy.
Snowball fights, building snown, ice skating, fishing in the river...
Whatever winter activities Yuan Bao could think of, she played them all with the two brothers.
And what they rembered the most was fishing.
Opening up the frozen surface, putting bait by the ice hole, and actually having fish jump out by themselves, that scene was truly magical for the two brothers.
"Alright, let’s go fishing!"
Yuan Bao thought for a mont and then had Nanny Xue inform the Eldest Princess about it, asking her if she wanted to join in the fun?
"Let’s go, definitely go!"
"Right, let’s bring a few chefs from the house, and we can grill the fish while we’re at it!"
Upon hearing about going to the river to fish, Mrs. Wei Shen was the first to express her interest.
Then, the foodie Mrs. Wei Yun quickly followed suit.
Seeing this, the Eldest Princess also agreed.
Actually, she also wanted to play, but there was never an opportunity before.
After all, as the matron of the Wei Family, she had to maintain her dignity.
But now, with Yuan Bao here and with Yuan Shouqian and Yuan Shousun leading the way, it was perfectly reasonable for her to join as an elder.
"Aunt, then I’ll go back and call Qiqi, she would be delighted to know about this!"
"I’ll call Little Nine!"
Mrs. Wei Yun added.
The Little Nine she referred to was her daughter with Wei Shizhou, who was even younger than Yuan Bao.
