Chapter 17: Fame

When she woke up, she was alone, as usual.

Alas, too lazy!

Changing clothes, getting ready to eat and asking them what happened yesterday, why they were so mysterious and so late.

As a result, when I opened the door, I was startled by the crowd in the courtyard, all of whom were old men!

Squatting, standing, and a few sitting. Among the people seated, the third lady was in the first place.

Everyone also saw Zhao Jiao who had just gotten up, but they just glanced at it and didn't have the heart to look at it again. What's so nice about a!

"This is a strip, and the elders of each house will go to claim the field after three days with the strip." Cai Dacheng saw Zhao Jiao come out and smiled at her.

"Tomorrow I will send a few people to measure the fields."

"As for the school, let's build it first. However, I am about to be busy with farming, even if I have to wait until the autumn harvest to build, and then discuss the specific time when I build, I will first deal with what should be bought and prepared.

As for the master, because the conditions here are not good, I am afraid that the master will not come, if you can't find it, let Bao'er Niang take her place first, until you find it. ”

Zhao Jiao hid in the firewood room for breakfast, the firewood room had no windows, and it was too dark to close, so the firewood door was open, so she listened to it, this Cai Dacheng would find trouble for her!

After eating, he cleaned up and walked out of the kitchen, carrying the laundry basket to the river.

I don't know if she's too careful, I feel that the women who are washing clothes all bow their heads and pretend not to see her when they see her, which wasn't like this before.

She knows that Cai Dacheng may come back, many of these women know that she is a sister-in-law turned brother-in-law, Cai Dacheng is alive and does not hide it, how can it not make people think about it, not to mention that it is not a blind fact.

Squatting down to wash clothes alone, whispering from time to time in the distance, it won't sound good!

Anyway, I won't scold her in front of her, out of sight is clean! silently made psychological hints to himself.

In the summer, the clothes were light, but they were washed after a while, and they returned home with the basket.

When she couldn't be seen, the crowd exploded.

"Phew! Good morning departure! I smell a lot of noise! ”

"I've never heard of a woman marrying two living men at the same time, tell me what it's called!"

"You can't blame her entirely, didn't you think you were starving to death at that time? If she doesn't marry the second child, will she marry someone else with her children? The second child didn't have the money to marry another mother-in-law at that time, and it was a last resort to take over his sister-in-law. ”

"You'll say! This time and that time! So tell me, how to solve it now? With the big or the small? Is it true that you just eat around a kang and a pot? ”

"Wouldn't it? That's too," one woman cried out.

There are also daughters-in-law of the Cai family in the middle, and they are said to bow their heads and remain silent.

"Hey, Tie Niu Niang, you are the Cai family, you can tell me."

Tie Niu Niang was already unhappy, she had a son, and two, if the two sons encountered this situation in the future, she could really cover her daughter-in-law without saying a word! Shameful stuff!

"You can't ask yourself, ask me what to do!" He shook off the wooden hammer with his hands, and his tone was also fierce with his hands on his waist, staring at each other like copper bells.

The woman who asked was choked by her, her mouth moved, and finally she lowered her head without saying anything and continued to wash her ......

"Humph! One by one, they are full of food, and everyone else is in charge of the things in the nest! If there are many men who have the ability, it is better to learn to find a few more, and there is no need to wash the clothes! ”

No one dares to say it now, how can there be good fruit to eat against this shrew!

When Zhao Jiao went back, she was just about to enter the door, and found that Zhao's sister-in-law who was on the other side of the door came out of the yard.

"Sister-in-law is busy!" Say hello with a smile.

Sister-in-law Zhao saw that it was her, so she snorted lightly and turned her head to leave.

Zhao Jiao was stunned, put away her smile and returned to the courtyard with the basket.

Walking into the hospital, the people were scattered.

Ercheng was busy washing vegetables, and Cai Dacheng was chopping firewood, and looked up at the same time when he saw her come in.

Ercheng sensitively found that the lady was in a bad mood, and turned his head to look at Cai Dacheng.

Cai Dacheng shook his head and said nothing, and continued to chop wood.

After drying the clothes, take out the fabric that was cut yesterday and continue to make it.

"Lady, yesterday I went to the third master's house with my brother, divided the fields of Qin Papi, and prepared to open the school."

Seeing that the lady didn't make a sound, Ercheng didn't care whether she listened or not, so she explained the matter.

In order for the clansmen to fill their stomachs, and for the reproduction of future generations and the prosperity of the Cai clan, Cai Dacheng discussed several major matters with the third master and several old people, and also listed the clan rules.

The first is to check the number of males in the clan.

There are four rooms in the direct line.

The eldest lady only left the Tie Niu family, including Tie Niu's father and Tie Niu brothers, a total of three men.

The second old lady is the eldest uncle and their five brothers, of which the second uncle died early and has no descendants, and the others are a total of nine big and small.

The third old lady's house, even the third lady, a total of three men.

Cai Dacheng is considered the fourth oldest house, and there are currently three men.

The two rooms are next to each other, and there are ten men.

There are only twenty-eight men in the whole clan and the village.

The second is the division of land. It is still calculated according to the male, each male rents two acres of land, exempt from paying field rent, and the income from the field is for each household's own use, and the lease period is ten years, but the taxes of the imperial court need to be borne by themselves, and the land must be returned to Cai Dacheng or his sons and nephews after expiration.

Third, the construction of schools. There are two aspects, one is the enrollment of male students.

Male members of the clan enter school at the age of five and at the latest at the age of six.

Free of bundle repair, a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone every year, plus a brush, two knives of rice paper.

The duration of study is one year, and those who want to continue their studies after one year have to bear their own responsibilities except for Shu Xiu.

If you are not a member of the Cai clan, you can pay a fee to enroll.

The women's school lasts for half a year, and can be over seven years old, and there is no tuition fee, but no pen, ink, paper and inkstone are issued. If there is surplus in the future clan, it can be given free for one year. Mainly learn literacy, etiquette, women's morality, women's appearance, etc. ”

Fourth, divide the ceremonial field into 10 acres. The whole clan first completes the field worship and then arranges their own fields to plow. In addition to paying taxes, the rest of the income of ten acres is used for school, maintenance expenses and maintenance of orphans, and the insufficient will be discussed at that time.

Fifth, the cost of building the school was borne by Cai Dacheng, and the school was also owned by him.

Sixth, the patriarch is hereditary, and Cai Dacheng is responsible for this house, and it cannot be changed unless it does something that violates the family and country.

Seventh, revise the genealogy and add family rules,......

When Zhao Jiao heard it, she felt that it was all practical, all men, women and children were taken care of, and if she could do a good job, she could indeed lead the clan to prosper. But thinking about this, Cai Dacheng is not afraid of people's words, he still has to be the patriarch on this outlet, is he stable?

"Lady, the school is expected to start construction after the autumn, together with our house, it will open for enrollment after the year, and Bao'er can also go with you then."

"What am I going to do? Do you really want me to be a master? ”

Cai Ercheng smiled: "The lady is going to be a master!" Even after you find the master, you have to be a female gentleman and teach the girl. ”

He knew that his mother was three years old and had studied for seven years, and his father-in-law was a rare talented person within a radius of hundreds of miles, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time, and the family withered and was difficult to support alone. When he was dying, he hated God why he gave birth to the wrong gender of the lady and wasted such a good brain.

glared at Cai Ercheng, if the child's parents knew that she was the master, they might only receive Bao'er as a student when the school opened.

Alas! Bao'er will be discriminated against when she goes out to play with the children in the village in the future? The old men shouldn't be, but it's hard for women to say, they occasionally say something and are heard by the children, and then a group of children surround Bao'er, laughing and bullying him.

It is more likely that they will also deliberately teach their children all kinds of negative information, and the children are not able to distinguish between right and wrong, so what will they do if they attack Bao'er again?

Thinking of this, my brows furrowed.

Seeing that the lady's brows were furrowed again, and she didn't know what she had just encountered, Ercheng felt that she had to solve it as soon as possible.

"Huh? What about Boa? Suddenly, I found that I hadn't seen my son until I got up in the morning.

Seeing that the lady reflected a lot slower than before, Ercheng felt funny: "It's not that I'm at the fifth aunt's house, and I don't know what the stone took back, and I tease Bao'er every day." ”

Cai Dacheng chopped the firewood, washed it with water, and saw that it was not early, and it was time to prepare lunch.

"It's hot, I may come back later tomorrow, bring some eggs and duck eggs, what do you want to eat? There are a lot of good things in the storeroom, and I will bring back what I can bring back when I arrive, but unfortunately the house is too small to fit. No way! It's better to find someone to build a house first. ”

Think about the fact that there is only one room in the house, and half of it is still occupied by the kang, and it is indeed too crowded for a few people to live.

After collecting the needle and thread, Zhao Jiao was about to cook, but before she got up, she was stopped by Cai Dacheng.

"It's too hot! I'll do it, don't do the clothes, I'll take a break. ”

Zhao Jiao really doesn't want to cook, it's okay to be hot, it's about 30 degrees in her previous life, but she is a little impetuous, it should be a pregnancy.

It was hot, Cai Dacheng fried two vegetarian dishes, steamed chicken cakes, cooked rice, and cooked a gourd soup.

"Daddy!"

"Hey! Son's foot is in a hurry! As soon as he walked out of the kitchen with the food in his hands, the little one ran to him, holding his legs with both hands and looking up with a grin, and he had to drag him around.

"Dad, Uncle Liangzi is amazing, he can carry three bags, but Uncle Quanzi can only carry one! Alas, why is Uncle Stone so useless, he can't carry a single one! Bao'er told the fifth grandfather, and the fifth grandfather said that Uncle Stone was useless, so Bao'er didn't have to learn from him......"

I couldn't stop his little mouth with rice, "Also, the fifth grandmother took me to the third grandmother's house to play, and the third grandmother is quarreling!" ”

"Why did the third grandmother quarrel?" Ercheng smiled and took off the rice grains on his cheeks, and just wanted to withdraw his hand, but the little guy was quick and his mouth was not far behind, dragging his hand to his mouth, and the rice grains were licked back and eaten by him!

This stinky boy, when his father came back, he threw his uncle aside, and he didn't call his second uncle until now, Ercheng was very tasty!

"The third grandmother's voice is too small, she can't quarrel with the dog grandmother, so the fifth grandmother will help......"

"Does Bao'er know why the third grandmother quarreled?"

"You know...... It's delicious, mother, I still want it! ”

"Yes, I'll keep saying it next time, and say how good it would be to save Bao'er's rations in the end!"

“?” Boa didn't understand what her uncle was talking about, but it didn't affect his appetite.

"I haven't answered my mother yet, why did the third grandmother quarrel?"

"Hmm... It's a woman...... Bao'er doesn't understand! "The little guy eats everything deliciously, and quickly scoops the rice with a small spoon.

"Oh! The dog's grandmother also asked Bao'er if Bao'er slept with her uncle and mother! ”

The three people at the table were stunned at the same time, "Then did you ask where Daddy sleeps?" Ercheng was stunned and spoke first.

"I asked, I said where Daddy sleeps! Soup! ”

"Come on! There are no secrets in our family! ”
