6. Grandchildren

A few days later, in the early summer, I went to the main house to ask Mrs. Xu for peace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Grandmother Hailful!" As soon as he entered the main room, Chu Xia clasped his fingers together, placed his left waist, and bowed to Mrs. Xu, who was sitting on the chair in the center.

The chair that Mrs. Xu sat on was a pure backrest chair, with no armrests on both sides, which was a popular furniture in the family of this era, and was generally only able to sit by the elderly.

"Come on, come on, hehe, come over and let Grandmother see if Eleven Niang has grown taller?" Mrs. Xu beckoned to her kindly.

As the head of the family, Mrs. Xu is not as difficult as those Lafayettes in costume dramas in her previous life, on the contrary, she is very kind. For example, please be safe, I heard that there are some strict families in this dynasty, and they require their children and grandchildren to wait outside the elders' rooms every day at five watches, and after the elders get up and wash, they come over one by one to say goodbye. In Xufu, only the younger generations over the age of thirteen come to ask for peace every day, and the children under the age of thirteen at home only need to come to ask for peace once every five days.

Xu is often worshipping Buddha, and Mrs. Xu is often filled with a good smell of sandalwood, which makes Chu Xia think of her grandmother in her previous life, she is also a believer.

"Yo, it's a little taller, it used to be half a head taller than Brother Jin, and now it's a head taller than Brother Jin!" Mrs. Xu patted Eleven Niang's head with her hand and said with a smile.

The little demon king sitting on the crescent stool next to him immediately refused to accept it, and threw himself into Mrs. Xu's arms and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, grandmother, the eleventh sister is one year older than me, and by next year, I will be as tall as the eleventh sister!"

Mrs. Xu hugged Brother Jin with a smile and hit him: "You are so picky eaters, even in the next year, your eleventh sister is taller than you." ”

Brother Jin was not convinced, and shouted: "Sister Eleventh is also partial to eating, the last time I went to see her, she only eats green vegetables and tofu, and doesn't eat meat!"

Brother Jin should be talking about the food of Eleven Niang in the filial piety period.

Mrs. Xu immediately frowned, and said solemnly: "Brother Jin, how can you talk like that, Eleven Niang eats green vegetables and tofu, she is guarding the fasting and doing her filial piety for your fourth uncle and four aunts, this is the basic filial piety of your children, don't apologize to Eleven Niang soon!"

Even in the face of his favorite grandson, once Brother Jin made a mistake, Mrs. Xu did not condone it, but reasoned with him and corrected his mistake in time. What is rare is that Brother Jin is only 5 years old, but he can also listen to it, as soon as Mrs. Xu's words fell, he immediately turned his head and apologized to Chu Xia: "Eleventh sister, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, can you forgive me!"

Seeing the shame on his face, Chu Xia said generously: "Do you think Eleven Niang is such a stingy person?"

Brother Jin immediately came over and gave her a big hug, and said happily: "I know that the eleventh sister is the best!"

Then Brother Jin took Chu Xia's hand, walked up to Mrs. Xu and said, "Grandmother, you see, the eleventh sister is not angry with me!"

"You-" Mrs. Xu pointed at Brother Jin'er's forehead with his hand, and said helplessly.

Then they moved the pestle over, and the two sisters and brothers sat next to Mrs. Xu.

Then called Mama Zhou in, Mrs. Xu asked in detail about the diet of Eleven Niang during this time, Mama Zhou answered one by one, Mrs. Xu said: "Although the filial piety period of Eleven Niang is not over, but it has been a year, and Eleven Niang is still growing, the diet can not be as harsh as adults, although you can't eat meat, but chicken, duck, goose and fish can be eaten, Eleven Niang, add one more dish to each meal, Mama Yu, you are the nurse of Eleven Niang, do more in this regard, you know?"

Mama Yu should be right away.

In the early summer, I was muttering in my heart, I used to hear my grandfather, who was a professor at the university in my previous life, said that people before the Tang Dynasty thought that the meat of cattle, sheep and pigs was called meat, and the meat of chickens, ducks, geese and fish was not meat, so there were many monks in these dynasties, there was a joke, the early Tang Dynasty once forbade the imperial history to eat meat in the place, but the famous Xiangma Zhouzhi was particularly fond of eating chicken, and then he was sued, but Tang Taizong said: "I forbid the imperial history to eat meat, I am afraid of the county fee, what is the chicken to eat?" Even the emperor thinks that chicken is not meat, and everyone does not dare to have different meanings. After thinking about it in early summer, it may be because cattle, sheep and pigs are viviparous, while chickens, ducks, geese and fish are oviparous, so they think that chickens, ducks, geese and fish are not meat.

After asking Mama Zhou, Mrs. Xu turned around and asked Chu Xia and said, "Eleven Niang, if you have anything you want to eat, as long as you don't break the ban, let Mama Zhou tell the kitchen directly, do you know? Don't grieve your stomach!"

Chu Xia lowered his eyebrows and said: "Grandmother, grandson knows!" In the previous life, my parents and brother had an extreme pursuit of eating, and my mother even opened a high-end food club and invited a few celebrity chefs to come over to sit in the battle, so although Chu Xia's taste was not as strong as that of other people in the family, and he couldn't be called gluttonous, he was also a foodie. The cooking technique of this time and space is only stewing and steaming, and it can be eaten at first, but after eating for a long time, she feels that her mouth has no taste, so she is given a hundred dishes, and she also feels that it is no different from only one dish, so there is really no requirement.

It's a pity that she didn't dare to go to the kitchen to guide in the filial piety period, for fear of being said to be unfilial, and when she got out of the filial piety period, the first thing she did was to retrain the chefs of Xufu!

Chu Xia was thinking beautifully, and Mrs. Xu's words came from her ears: "The body is skinny, and you are the parents, you have raised your body well, and you are the greatest filial piety to your parents, you know?"

Hearing this heart-warming word in early summer, he hurriedly responded.

Brother Jin on the side was unwilling to be left out in the cold, and muttered to Chu Xia next to him: "Eleventh sister, grandmother asked you to study with me!"

"Really?" Chu Xia was a little happy in his heart, this time and space had the same Tang Dynasty and Wu Zetian as in the previous life, but there were differences in history after Wu Zetian's death, in the previous life, Wu Zetian was succeeded by Li Xian, called Tang Zhongzong, but here, Wu Zetian was succeeded by Princess Taiping, the year name Taiping, continuing many policies of benefiting the people during the Wu Zhou period, the country's economy increased greatly in the twenty-five years she ruled, and the population grew steadily, which was called "Taiping Shengshi" by later generations. After the death of Princess Taiping, her son Xue Chong was referred to as the emperor, the year name Tianbao, and it was good for him to be the emperor at the beginning, but Tianbao ten years, Xue Chongjian wanted to change the country name to Lu, posthumously respected his father Xue Shao, and completely changed the dynasty, which led to the Li Emperor clan to resist righteousness, especially Li Longji, personally led 50,000 soldiers to attack the capital, so that the whole country fell into chaos, and the Khitan, Western Xia and other border ethnic minorities that originally belonged to the territory of the Tang Dynasty became independent. Later, the Central Plains region was also wars and the population was sharply reduced due to the struggle between various feudal kings. More than 50 years ago, there was a great drought in the Central Plains, and many people starved to death, the peasants finally couldn't bear it anymore, and revolted with hoes and sticks, and finally the small landlord Shen Yun of Chuzhou led the revolt to unify China, ascended the throne and called the emperor, because of its uprising in Chuzhou, so the country was renamed "Chu".

Although the emperors of Chu were also very good, the reign of Wu Zhou and Taiping was no worse than that of many male emperors, so girls were prevalent in reading among the people of Chu.

The same is true for Xu Fu, as far as she knows, Siniang and the married Erniang and Sanniang also invited Mr. when they were young, and they wanted to find a reason to study when they first wore it in early summer, but because they were in a special period, they were afraid of committing any taboos, so they never dared to mention it to their elders.

"Of course, if you don't believe it, you ask Grandmother!" Jin Ge'er turned and pulled Mrs. Xu's sleeve and asked her to testify.

Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "Mr. surnamed Qin, he taught Brother Jun and Brother Lian before, and he will be here in two days, you two, you must study hard when the time comes, otherwise Mr. will be able to play the handboard!"

"Ah, don't—" Brother Jin said coquettishly into Mrs. Xu's arms.

The interior is a scene of harmony between grandparents and grandchildren.
