Chapter 507

After the Double Ninth Festival, He Zijin and A Nian lived a two-person world. Although their children would come to visit each other from time to time, the feeling of living between the two is really not too good. In particular, A Nian also said this, "Or people say that children are burdens. Just this pepper and hemp chicken, A Ye and A Xi can't eat hemp pepper, and I haven't eaten it for many years."

He Zijin picked up a chopstick for him first and smiled, "That was when a child was a child. He loved to taste everything on the table, but he couldn't stand it after taking a bite, so he did less."

"Their taste, this one doesn't eat numbness, and that one doesn't eat sourness, we can eat on the same table." A Nian didn't mind that the children were not around, and it was not that far away. Anyway, the children would come over every few days. A Nian found that it was good to meet occasionally. The eldest son was taking care of the sacred affairs of the imperial capital. On weekdays, sister Zijin only had to consider him.

They got up in the morning and then walked on the nearby road with morning dew. When they heard that there were good winds and scenery, the two of them went to enjoy the scenery together. On weekdays, A Nian went to Wendaotang to teach with the students, and Sister Zijin talked to the female relatives of the nearby husband's family. He Zijin had this benefit. She was from a poor family and gradually became rich. Therefore, she got along with the female relatives of the official family and got along with the female relatives of the teacher's family. The key is to be down-to-earth, and she was also very polite when talking about life. Even if someone asked about her family, she had nothing to say, "Our master is just too upright. You don't know that he is the kind of person who yells in unfairness on the road. Isn't this kind of person easy to offend people? I just said that it's better not to be an official, but this teaching is the most quiet."

Women are in the same place, just family affairs, husbands and children. The Jiang family has a simple population and the children are very good at taking advantage of it. He Zijin is nothing more than just a mediocre needlework, but she is very happy to do it. She also said that when I was a child, my three younger brothers were just a girl. I was a little older and followed my grandmother and my mother to do needlework. The younger brothers grew up fast. At that time, I felt that today I would be able to wear clothes tomorrow. Seeing Tianer’s clothes, I could practice it at this speed.” Tiandi’s conscience. At that time, except for A Nian’s aesthetic standards since childhood, it was Zijin’s sister, A Lie and others were more willing to wear clothes made by the third girl.

Then, He Zijin often showed a down-to-earth way of doing housework, saying, "It's time to make pickled vegetables, dry radishes, and pickle radishes. Sister-in-law, when do you pickle them?"

Then, as she talked, she started diplomatic relations with carrots and cabbage. This was planted in the twins' farm. It was planted for several acres. It was considered to be her own native product, and it was not expensive. It was a common food for food and food. He Zijin took advantage of the situation and sent a car to each family. He Zijin was so easy to interact with. Mrs. Xu Shan, who was in charge of Wen Daotang, said to Xu Shan, "You said you would let me have a good time to interact with Mrs. Jiang. I thought Mrs. Jiang was so delicate and not easy to socialize. It turned out that she was so kind and had no airs of an official wife."

Xu Shan said long, "That's good."

Mrs. Xu also asked, "Mr. Jiang, no, Mr. Jiang is a good-nature?"

"It's better, this lecture can be better." Xu Shan said long. "Mr. Jiang is also from Tanhua, so his foundation is naturally good. However, he has been an official for many years and has been a foreign official. He is busy with common affairs, so his academic knowledge has become loose."

Mrs. Xu whispered, "It would be great if you say 'It's still successful'."

Miss Xu said, "Aunt Jiang uses the method of pickling sauerkraut in Beichang Prefecture. I have only seen this method in books, and I don't know how to pickle it. Aunt Jiang said that when her family pickles, she asked me to go over and teach me. At that time, our family will also cover up a jar of sauerkraut from Beichang Prefecture and try what the taste is."

Xu Shanchang smiled and said, "You can understand etiquette when you go to someone else."

"I know, dad. I go with Sister Wu, and she also wants to learn from Aunt Jiang." When Miss Xu went there, she brought a small jar of honey-stained green plums to serve as a gift. Miss Wu brought two handkerchiefs embroidered by herself. He Zijin smiled and taught the two girls to pickle sauerkraut. He Zijin really knows how to pickle sauerkraut. She knows this and loves to do these things. While He Zijin teaches, she also talks about the customs of Beichang Prefecture, saying, "In the imperial capital, people rarely make sauerkraut. We often eat it in Beichang Prefecture, especially in winter, when it snows, we cook a sauerkraut pot at home, which is warm and appetizing, and it is delicious."

Miss Xu said, "I have seen it in the book that it is this sauerkraut pot, whether it is with fish or meatballs or slices of meat, it is very fragrant."

"Yes, when making a sauerkraut fish pot, it is necessary to make a big fish, so that it is better to produce fish fillets. If you want to buy a live fish, you should keep it in clean water for two days when you buy it home. Once you get the earthy smell, you can make a fish pot. It is simple to make a meat pot. When you are in Beichang Prefecture, it is extremely cold in autumn. You often make a lot of meatballs in advance and hang them in a house that does not make a fire, and then freeze them firmly. When you eat it, just take it out and cook it directly. As for sauerkraut, it will improve freshness and relieve greasiness. You have to eat it alone. I think it tastes a bit heavy, but it is great to make side dishes." He Zijin likes these two little girls, who are both smart girls at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Miss Xu is the youngest daughter of Xu Shan, and Miss Wu is the eldest daughter of Master Wu, a Wendaotang.

I heard from A Nian that Master Wu was very knowledgeable, but his luck in the imperial examination was poor and he failed many times, so he was a little crazy. Miss Wu looked very beautiful, while Miss Xu was more cute and silly. He Zijin was an elder with no airs. He has always been patient with little girls and was able to talk to them in the same way.

Mrs. Xu said, "You are still patient. I am so noisy that we A Yao all day long."

He Zijin smiled and said, "I have many sons in my family, only one daughter. I like girls, who are well-behaved and caring. In this world, it seems that there is no son to outsiders to see that they are old and have no reliance on them in the future. But speaking of it, it is better to be considerate or a daughter."

Mrs. Wu is a very quiet woman with a jade hairpin on her head and her clothes are just ordinary, but her temperament is excellent. You can tell at a glance that she is from everyone. According to the gossip of the Daotang, Mrs. Wu’s family is now an official family. When she married Mrs. Wu to Master Wu, it was because Master Wu was famous in the village and felt that Master Wu would be able to become noble in the future. As a result, Master Wu failed for many years, and his family business gradually faded. Because of his unique personality, he had an ordinary relationship with Yue’s family. Xu Shanchang was an old friend of him. Knowing that he was also unemployed in his hometown, he asked him to come to Wendaotang to give lectures.

To earn a family to support the family. Mrs. Wu agreed with He Zijin's words and smiled, "That's the reason. I gave birth to Ajing for the first time. I'm going to say that when I was young, I felt bad about having a daughter. I felt that I didn't have the first child to give birth to a son for our master. But as I lived through life, I knew that my daughter was good and I could really help me everywhere. If I had to be the first child, I had to be alone in the family, so how could I be busy with it?" Mrs. Wu's family had a daughter and two sons. There were two boys in the family, one was eleven years old and the other was ten years old, which was the age of naughty.

Speaking of their daughters, Xu and Wu's family had a good relationship, Mrs. Xu asked Wu Jing and the wedding reception and asked Mrs. Wu how she planned to live. Mrs. Wu said, "If you are in your hometown, you must invite people from the five-distance family to come to your house for a drink. Now here, I have discussed with the master and invite a few of our similar families to come to the house for fun." She said to He Zijin in person, "Sister Jiang, come here too, don't let the heretics."

He Zijin smiled and said, "I will go there if I don't invite me." He asked Mrs. Wu how she planned to set up a table, but if she needed help, she had a maid and cook, so she could borrow a few. Because the hairpin is the most important day for girls, as long as she is a family that can live well, she will be given a big deal for the child. The Wu family saw that she loved her daughter. He Zijin was also a girl, so naturally she knew.

Mrs. Wu said, "It's still one month before Ajing's wedding ceremony. I have some plans in my mind. If it's decided, I will definitely trouble you." This time is not the time to be polite.

Mrs. Xu and He Zijin agreed with a smile.

He Zijin felt that Wendaotang was a completely different world, as if he had returned to his old days in his hometown. Every day, he was the neighbors' family, simple and natural. A Nian was the same. He didn't have to go to the yamen to sing Mao every day, and was with a group of students all day long. Although there were some students who were depressed, he was still a bit ambitious when he could come to Wendaotang for another try. A Nian looked at them and became more free and easy, and he could also ask the teachers at school to go out for fishing and hiking. At this time, A Nian would propose family trips, that is, everyone would bring their wives and children with them.

A Ye told his wife privately, "I have met many people who have been dismissed from office. Many people don't say it. In fact, it's not good for the officials. So, my father said he wanted to go back to his hometown, I thought it was good. After leaving the imperial capital, maybe my father could see it openly and dissipate the depression in his heart. Now I don't have to go back to my hometown. Seeing that my father looks better in Wendaotang than when he was an official." As the eldest son, A Ye is born with a sense of responsibility.

"Isn't this the same for my mother? When we go next time, we have to send someone to deliver letters to our parents in advance, otherwise, our parents will easily be idle when they go out." Su Bing said intuition and said to her grandmother when she went home, she said to her grandmother, "I have never seen a couple more loving than my parents-in-law. They are holding hands when they walk when they go out."

Mrs. Su talked to her husband as an interesting thing. The next day, Su Buyu went out, and Mrs. Su still sent him to the second door. Su Buyu suddenly stretched out his hand to Mrs. Su, and Mrs. Su was a little puzzled. Su Buyu coughed lightly, "Hand." The old wife said yesterday that she must also want to hold hands with him.

Mrs. Su patted her husband's hand and said angrily, "Hurry up, don't be bothered." There is a maid next to her.

Su Buyu took up his wife's hand and put it in his palm, making fun of her, "The more she is, the thicker her skin is, why are you going to be the other way around?"

Mrs. Su was a little embarrassed. Seeing that the maid was smiling, she hurriedly said, "Old guy, you are so old, why are you so frivolous, and your grandchildren are coming."

"Come here." Su Buyu decided to hold hands with his wife in the future.

When Su Bing learned about this, he found it very interesting. When he talked to his mother-in-law, He Zijin laughed and said, "I can't tell that the old man Su's family is so funny."

Su Bing said, "I heard from my father that my grandfather was very spoiled for children when he was young. In the family affairs, my grandfather sang a slander and a sang a slander. Sometimes when my grandmother thinks about it, she is so angry that she says that my grandfather is just good at being a good person."

As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Su Bing asked about the lunch meal so that she could prepare in advance. He Zijin said, "We will save trouble at noon, just make some simple things."

Su Bing said, "Father, my husband, won't you come back?"

He Zijin said, "Aye and his friends went back to Xushan Chang for the first time. Xushan Chang was very friendly and needed to keep guests. There was also Master Wu, who was the best wine. Today they brought good wine, and Master Wu would have to go there later, and it would be lively." Sure enough, He Zijin said this, and the servants of the Xu family came to say that they would stay at the Xu family for dinner. Their wife invited He Zijin's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to go over and have a meal together.

He Zijin smiled and said, "I will definitely get it." He asked the maid to bring two big carp he raised at home and take his wife to the Xu family.

Wendaotang is a place where students gather. The masters of Wendaotang are not good at comparing with the officials of the Imperial College, but they are all famous people in the wild. When A Nian gets familiar with them, he will naturally follow his sons to talk about poetry and essays and increase his knowledge.

A Ye is older, and he gets along well with his elders, and his attitude is just right. Especially A Ye is good at learning, Master Wu said, "How can a virtuous nephew fail in the academic year with such a talent?"

A Ye said, "Maybe the style of writing is not allowed to be liked by the examiner."

Master Wu waved his hand, "It's a vulgar thing for me to say this. I've been missing for decades. Speaking of which, I can take advantage of myself and ask me to tell you that the examiners are all blind."

A Nian said, "Brother Wu, you have too deep knowledge, but A Ye is a little shallow."

Xu Shan said long, "A Nian's words are deeply my opinion."

It is not surprising that men say some imperial examination literature. What is strange is that the twins have always had springs on their butts. Why did these two sit up straight today, and look well-behaved when listening straightly!

He Zijin was very pleased that the twins had grown up and turned out to be so steady when they went out. Of course, it would be even better if they hadn't met the other girls Wu and Xu in a while, and then said "Sister Xu, Sister Wu" one by one.
