Bai Zhi was a little excited, and looked at the painting, "The county lord has finished painting, right?" ”

Su Yan said: "Put it away first, and then see if there is anything you are not satisfied with when you are free." ”

Bai Zhi helped to put away the pen and ink.

The three of them went down to the attic, and as soon as they came out, Mama Qing opened the oil paper flower umbrella, but saw Chuanzhen, Chuanling, and Tian Xiaoqian standing not far away with umbrellas, and the three of them were wearing new clothes of different colors.

Chuanzhen saluted: "Thank you aunt for making us new clothes, they are very beautiful." ”

Qing Mama said: "Because the county lord did it for the three of them, the other ladies in the clan have opinions. The old lady was afraid of gossip, so she asked Mama Tian and I to pick a piece of fabric for each young lady in the clan, but I didn't think that there were really a lot of young ladies in the boudoir, there were forty-three, and one person had a piece of good Hangzhou silk material, all of which had been packed into boxes, and they would be distributed when they returned to the township. In addition, each of the forty-three young ladies was given a hairpin, and this toss cost a lot of silver. ”

Even if one person counts as much as twenty taels of silver, the Yu family spent one thousand taels of silver.

Su Yeon was generous for a while, which caused trouble to her mother.

In order to prevent the people in the clan from being unhappy and losing the hearts of the people, they had to use this method to be fair and just.

When Chuanling heard this, she scolded: "It's all Chuanzhu, she is jealous of us, and she speaks ill of us in the countryside, obviously she has already got a golden hairpin, and she thinks more, it's too hateful." She didn't want to think about it, we were in the same vein as my aunt, and our great-grandmother was my aunt's own grandmother, how could they compare. ”

The Yu family took pity on their beloved daughter and couldn't bear to blame Su Yan, so they only silently cleaned up the trouble that Su Yan caused because of the momentary pleasure.

Su Yan's face was ashamed, "Mama needs to mention more in the future." ”

"County Lord, this time I have returned to the countryside, and I have to be more cautious. Speaking of which, you are also a girl who has not left the cabinet, you don't have to worry about these things, you have your own old lady and old lady to take care of it. ”

"Mama is right, I'll pay attention." When she spoke, her tone was as gentle as a clear spring.

Chuanzhen likes to listen to So-yeon like this, and is more appreciative.

Chuanling gritted her teeth and gurgled, and when she thought of Chuanzhu's girl, she got angry, and she caused the Yu family to spend an extra thousand taels of silver.

Tian Xiaoqian also secretly complained about Chuanzhu, if it wasn't for Chuanling's badness, the county lord's aunt might give a few more things, but in this way, in order to avoid the dissatisfaction of the clansmen, even they couldn't get the things on the side.

Su Yan looked at the three of them seriously, "Chuanzhen's orange-red Hangzhou silk is very suitable for you, your complexion is already white, and it looks even more charming and moving when you wear it." Chuanling's rose-red silk is well chosen, and when worn on you, it becomes more and more beautiful like a flower. Xiaoqian's goose yellow is very eye-catching, just right for your age. ”

Everyone loves to listen to good words, Su Yan praised each other, and the three of them smiled, especially Chuanling and Xiaoqian.

Chuanling asked: "Aunt County Lord, then let's put on new clothes, isn't Chuanzhu more beautiful?" ”

Su Yan smiled slightly, "What kind of comparison is this?" You are like apricot blossoms, pearls are like peach blossoms, apricot blossoms have their own apricot blossoms, peach blossoms also have peach blossoms, each has its own beauty, it is really difficult to compare. If you like apricot blossoms, you will naturally say that apricot blossoms are beautiful. If you like peach blossoms, you will say that peach blossoms are good. ”

Chuanzhen was full of admiration, in the end, she was different from them, and the words she said were comfortable to hear.

Tian Xiaoqian was interested, "Aunt County Lord, what about me?" What kind of flower am I? ”

Chuanling quipped: "You are a rape flower." ”

Tian Xiaoqian jumped up and shouted: "Why are you an apricot flower, I am a rape flower." ”

Chuan Zhen said: "The county lord's aunt is just an analogy, you two are really serious." ”

Tian Xiaoqian ignored it, pestered Su Yan and asked, "Auntie, what kind of flower am I?" I don't want to make rape flowers. ”

Bai Zhi thought for a while, and replied casually: "Miss Qian is delicate and exquisite, like an osmanthus." ”

In the land of Jinyang, there is no osmanthus, but this flower is common in the imperial city and in the south of the Yangtze River, but there are a few osmanthus flowers in the garden of the rich family. Every day during the Mid-Autumn Festival, osmanthus flowers are in full bloom, and the garden is full of fragrant fragrance.

Tian Xiaoqian raised her head, "I am osmanthus, I am as beautiful as osmanthus." ”

Chuanling glared, she didn't know what the osmanthus looked like.

Bai Zhi smiled and said to Chuanzhen: "Miss Zhen is like a jasmine, elegant and moving. ”

Chuanzhen's face was surprised, and there was uncontrollable joy in her eyes, and some people actually said that she was like jasmine.

Tian Xiaoqian shouted: "From now on, I only like osmanthus, and I don't like anyone else." ”

Chuanling was slightly jealous and asked, "Have you ever seen osmanthus?" I'm afraid that I don't know what osmanthus looks like. ”

"I haven't seen it really, I haven't seen the painting on it, the precious flower is a very noble flower, it looks big and beautiful, the rich people's homes, are hung and embroidered, and there are a few big characters embroidered on it'Rich Changchun'"

Angelica dahurica is dizzy.

Chuan Ling said: "That's a peony, not an osmanthus." ”

Obviously, Tian Xiaoqian thinks that it is osmanthus.

Tian Xiaoqian was stunned, it turned out that it wasn't, "What kind of flower is Guihua?" ”

Chuan Zhen said: "Osmanthus is the Mid-Autumn Festival will bloom flowers, there is a rich and auspicious metaphor, Wu Gang on the moon has sinned, was punished to cut down the osmanthus tree, but that is the god tree of heaven, cut off a piece, and grow a piece, cut down thousands of years have not been cut off." ”

"What does it look like?"

Chuan Zhen said: "I have only seen it in the heirloom book, it is really a beautiful flower, I heard that every time it is in full bloom, you can smell her fragrance within a radius of ten miles, Zhilan Jade Tree, this jade tree refers to the osmanthus tree, it can be seen that it is the same precious flower as the orchid." ”

Tian Xiaoqian was happy now, and compared her to an osmanthus, which is a very noble metaphor.

The group approached the Moon Shadow Residence, and Su Yan said, "Have you packed up all the things you have returned to your hometown?" ”

The three of them replied in unison: "It's all right." ”

Su Yeon stepped into the door of the Moon Shadow Residence.

Chuanzhen hesitated whether to go in, for fear of making a noise to Suyan, so she didn't want Chuanling to go in first, and Tian Xiaoqian also followed.

Su Yan entered the East House, Chuan Zhen didn't dare to follow again, Bai Ying brought refreshments and poured tea for the three young ladies. So Yeon opened the big box and put the painting away. Bai Zhi wiped the inkstone, packed up the four treasures of the study and put them in the wooden box, and was about to pack them into the baggage, when Su Yan stopped: "Just bring a pen, you don't need to bring the next one." ”

Su Yeon would practice calligraphy every day, never stopped, even when she was in a hurry, she was still practicing, only holding a pen, dipped in water, practicing over and over again on the wooden board, practicing on the desk, after writing full of water, she wiped it off with a rag, and then wrote, and so on.

"When I came, I heard from Mama Qing that there were a few nieces here, and they had prepared several things, but now they don't dare to send them anymore." It's been a long way to go, and it's hard to bring it back to the Imperial City.

Su Yan frowned, squatted in the big box, and looked at the bag of head and face jewelry, which was ordinary to her, but different to others.

She carefully wrapped three things in paper, hid them in her sleeves, and went to the hall to eat tea.

Su Yan smiled and asked, "Zhen'er, tell me about the affairs of the clan." ”

Chuan Zhen responded, swallowed the tea in his mouth, and said slowly: "Auntie, the second grandfather who is sick now is the youngest and the highest in the Yaozi generation, and he has been serving as the patriarch for more than 20 years. Chuanzhu's grandfather and the old grandfather are relatively close cousins. Further back, they are all the descendants of the ancestors of the Taizu Shi Jin Dynasty. ”

Chuanling was afraid of being underestimated by Su Yan, so she took over and said: "Chuanzhu's grandfather is slightly older than my grandfather, and he ranks thirteenth in the Shunzi clan, the eldest grandfather ranks ninth, and my grandfather ranks fifteenth. When the book is written, there are more people, and in order to sort it, it is no longer left in the big family to sort, and let each family sort by itself. There are more than 40 males in the hand-me-down generation, and there are 28 young ladies who have not yet left the cabinet; There are more than 20 men and more than 10 young ladies in the odd character generation; There are six males and four young ladies in the poetry generation......"

It seems that these odd characters and poets are the eldest grandsons of the second son of the ancestor Jiang Zhiyuan.

Chuanzhen and Chuanling can tell the ins and outs, and Tian Xiaoqian is at a loss.

In the Jiang clan, the name is taken according to the characters, "the legend of Yao Shunshu, the poetry and literature are long", and the descendants of the poetry generation are the descendants of the long house in the Xiling Jiang clan.

Su Yan listened attentively, and also sorted out the complicated relationship in the clan.

"The old grandfather was a scholar who studied hard in the cold window, and Chuanzhu's grandfather was a good farmer, and he helped us grow crops and do farm work in those years. After the old man became an official, he placed 800 acres of fertile land in Xiling, and in addition to 120 acres for my grandfather, he separately placed 100 acres of fertile land for Chuanzhu and their house. The remaining 600 acres were handed over to the clan and distributed to the clansmen, and there were not many people at that time, according to the men got two acres, and the women got one acre. ”

Chuanzhen talked about these things, such as a few family treasures, maybe he heard the elders say and wrote them down.

Chuan Ling said: "Fifteen years ago, the old man heard that the people of the clan were prosperous, so he placed another 2,000 acres of land and scattered it to various households. Therefore, our Jiang family is the largest family in Xiling, and Jiangjiazhuang is divided into Shangzhuang and Xiazhuang. Shangzhuang to my grandfather as the village head, Xiazhuang to the grandfather of the pearl as the village head, between the two villages and more than a mile apart, ancestral halls, ethnography are in Shangzhuang, Shangzhuang is the closest to Xiling Street, there is only one street on Xiling Street, the east shop is seventy percent of our house, half of the west shop is the pearl of their house, and the rest of the shop family accounts for half, only a few are the other small families in the town. ”

Su Yan asked: "So, the Jiang family lives in Shangzhuang and Xiazhuang are all from their own clan?" ”

She was like a child who didn't understand anything about these things.

Chuanling smiled, and even Tian Xiaoqian thought it was funny.

Chuan Zhen said: "There are tenants living in Shangzhuang and Xiazhuang. Some widows and weak mothers in the clan who were unable to cultivate their own fields rented their fields to tenants, and they received 30 to 40 percent of the rent every year, and lived on these rents. Like us, our house has siblings, my grandfather and father can take care of it, the family has bought people, and raised a dozen or so long-term workers, so we don't need to rent it to tenants. ”

"Thirty to five to forty percent of the rent...... "Su Yan didn't want to pay so much.

Chuan Ling said: "The fields that the old Hou Ye put are all high-quality fertile fields, less than five miles away from the big river, and the clansmen have built channels to lead the water of the big river into the fields for irrigation. Therefore, the harvest in our fields in Jiangjiazhuang is higher than that in other places. ”

The fields placed by Jiang Shuncheng Zhang Luo have convenient water sources and good soil, and they are all real fertile fields
