Chapter 7: Quill
When I went back, when I passed by the market near Wangjia Village, I took two catties of pork ribs and winter melon back.
In such a hot weather, how can you not have some winter melon pork rib soup to get rid of the heat? Seeing that Jian Ning was buying meat again, Second Brother Jian quit, "Sanniang, you can't eat meat every day, keep it to buy rice." ”
Jian Ning laughed, "Brother, don't worry! Where is this? From now on, we will eat meat every day! ”
After a pause, he asked, "Don't you like to eat meat?" ”
"Like, like!"
Second Brother Jian nodded again and again, but his face showed confusion, "But, but I have heard people say that meat is very expensive, and meat can buy a lot of rice, if we have a lot of rice, we won't be hungry." ”
"My silly brother."
Jian Ning shook his head, "Silver is earned, not saved." Okay, Mo Duo said, go, go home, I'll make you winter melon pork rib soup! ”
Second Brother Jian's IQ is only the IQ of a seven- or eight-year-old child, and being surrounded by Jian Ning like this, seeing her sworn expression again, where is it better than anything else? At that moment, he happily lifted everything from Jian Ning's hand and said, "Hmm! Sanniang, I'll get it! ”
The brother and sister entered the village with a smile and a smile, and they knew that they had only walked a few steps before they saw the Qian family. I saw her holding a jug in one hand and a basket in the other, obviously to send food to the men in the field, seeing the two brothers and sisters, her eyebrows and eyes were raised, and she was about to say a few words, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the ribs in the hands of Second Brother Jian, she was stunned at first, and then scolded: "Good you loser!" Jian Sanniang, you sold all your furniture, and instead of handing over the land, you are buying meat to eat, you are going to kill us! ”
Jian Ning frowned and said softly: "Mrs. Qian of the Wang family, there are still a few days left in the summer harvest, is it inappropriate for you to speak like this?" How do you know that I won't pay the field tax? ”
"Huh!"
Qian sneered; "I've seen a lot of people like you! Sell what you can sell at home, and then you will be a fugitive, and let us share the taxes and miscellaneous labor in the township! Good you have no conscience, back then our Wangjia Village took in your father, but now you are doing such a wolf-hearted thing! Folks, come on, come and see this shameless thing, you have money to buy meat but you don't pay for food, come and see! ”
"Wang's Qian Po!"
Jian Ning was furious, "You are speculating! Even the old parents in the yamen would not ask such a case! I'm living here, but I'm just buying some meat to eat, so why do you think I'm going to be a fugitive?! ”
X's! What divine logic? And this is clearly looking for trouble! She doesn't want to cause trouble, but it doesn't mean that she is a good bully! This time and again, again and again, is it really true that she is a sick cat?!
"What do I care you do? In short, it's not right for you to eat meat now! ”
"You can control the heavens and the earth, and you can control my shit and fart?!"
Jian Ning was also angry, "In the morning, he said that he wanted to take my house, and in the afternoon he said that he wanted to be a fugitive, he was really a vulgar mother-in-law in the countryside, with long hair and short knowledge, and he came here with nonsense, so he tarnished my name, what are your intentions?!" ”
"I can't shout if you want to be a fugitive?! Your dignified grandfather's daughter actually speaks a common saying?! Hello, everyone, come and see! Come and see, this little girl's scolding is really neat, she used to pretend, and you were all deceived! If you want me to say, the house should be sold, so that you don't have to worry about her being a fugitive! ”
The village women who were cooking at home were attracted by her shouts, and they ran out to see the excitement, and when they heard Mrs. Qian say this, they also echoed her, "Yes, Mrs. Qian has a point!" I said Miss Jian, our Wangjia Village has not treated you badly, if you really can't pay the money for the Ding Servants, it is better to sell the house to our Wang family, so that you can still go to the city to find a way to live! ”
"Sanniang, Sanniang......"
Second Brother Jian was so anxious that he grabbed Jian Ning's sleeve, "The house can't be sold, it can't be sold, my father said that selling a house is not filial." ”
"Don't worry!"
Jian Ning snorted coldly, "The hat on Xiucai's head is three inches taller than the common people, let alone the house." Does the Wang family have anyone who dares to live in my house?! ”
Does the Wang family have anyone who dares to live in my house?!
In a word, it exploded in everyone's ears like a thunderclap on a sunny day, and everyone was dumbfounded, looking at Jian Ning with wide eyes, and now they didn't know how to respond.
Changzhou has been prosperous since ancient times, Confucian style, and is located in an economically developed area, and it has been a major state of imperial examinations since the Song Dynasty.
In a competition for talent and fame, there are thousands of candidates, and there are tens of thousands, and there are only forty or fifty people who have won the fame. Although Jian's father was at the end of the ranks, he could be proud of the entire Wangjia Village, because the Wang family had never produced any meritorious people, and many people were eliminated in the county examination, and they couldn't even get the qualification for children.
Xiucai's house is three inches high, at that time, Emperor Hongzhi died a few years ago, the Ming Dynasty was still simple, where did anyone dare to blatantly transgress things?
A group of villagers were bluffed by Jian Ning's words, and their hearts were sour and angry, but they couldn't refute it. Compared with the girl of the Jian family, she is an earthworm in the mud, even though she has no father or mother, but the means of being able to read and hyphenate can immediately throw off a few streets from them.
Jian Ning's gaze was cold, swept over everyone's faces, and said word by word: "Don't think that my father is gone, and I think my brother and sister are so bullied!" I said it in the morning, if anyone dares to bully my brother again and tarnish my Jane's name, I will not be done with you! My father still has classmates, and those grandfathers are all face-saving people, I, Jian Sanniang, gave up this cheekiness and went to Nafu to learn to kneel, I want to see if they can help me out! ”
After that, he pulled Second Brother Jian and said, "Let's go!" ”
"You, don't scare us!"
Qian shouted, "What kind of murder are you bad luck thing?!" If you have the ability, you can call the grandfathers! I don't believe it! There's no place in the world to make sense?! You want to be a fugitive......"
"If I pay the field endowment, do you want to kneel down for me to admit my mistakes?"
Jian Ning stopped, turned to look at Qian and said, "What do you think is a person's name?" Did you say that it was defiled?! Do you believe it or not, I'll sue you?! ”
"You, you think the yamen was opened by your family!"
Qian sneered, "Even if it's ......"
"Hehe, the yamen is naturally the yamen of the imperial court! But my father is a born, and I am also literate and hyphenated, do you think my parents believe in whose words do you believe more? ”
Jian Ning sneered, "Do you believe that you are an ignorant and vulgar village woman?" Or do you believe in me, a man who has been taught by the saints? ”
"You!"
Qian's nose is crooked! Good little girl! The feelings used to be cold and pretended, this mouth is Lisuo, she has never met such a powerful one after scolding all over the country! Three sentences and two sentences are inseparable from the word "reader", his mother's! Readers are amazing!
Looking at the faint expression on Jian Sanniang's face, Qian's anger knotted, as if the truth was: those who can read and hyphenate words are amazing!
Seeing the Jian family brothers and sisters leaving, Qian's face was distorted, and he instigated: "Everyone looks at her, I think she wants to be a fugitive like this!" ”
The other village women responded one after another, but they also wondered in their hearts, didn't the furniture at home be sold out? I borrowed grain from the villagers before, so where did I get the money to buy meat? Seeing that she should be going out like this, did she really give up her cheeks and go to borrow money from Jian Xiucai's classmates?
At the thought of this possibility, many people flinched.
What's that......
They can't afford to mess with those grandfathers!
Jian Ning took Second Brother Jian home, and while lighting the fire, she pondered about it, and thought for a while before she said, "Brother, shall we go to live in the city in the future?" ”
"Not good."
Second Brother Jian shook his head, "This house can't be sold, Sanniang, can't sell the house." ”
"If you don't sell it, you just live in a different place."
Jian Ning thought very simply, just this group of village women, tearing them up every day, and she had to die of exhaustion. simply change the environment, maybe it will be good for yourself and Second Brother Jian.
The household registration system of the Ming Dynasty was very strict, but as long as he paid the field tax on time, the money for the Ding service, and lived in the city, it should not be difficult to make some silver.
"That ......"
Second Brother Jian scratched his head, in fact, he was also a little scared now. Because he found that the villagers who had been kind to him before did not seem to be kind to him anymore, and their eyes seemed to eat him, like wild beasts.
"Then listen to Sanniang."
"Hmm."
Jian Ning nodded, "If the house at home is not sold, let's go to the city to live." It's so nice in the city, there's so much to eat, there's so much fun, it's much more fun than that. ”
Thinking of what he saw and heard in the city, Second Brother Jian quickly forgot about Father Jian's instructions, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, let's go to live in the city, go to live in the city!" ”
After drinking the winter melon pork rib soup and having lunch, Jian Ning took a short rest and began to process the goose feathers.
When she first came back, she got some sand and dirt, which came in handy. I took a broken clay pot, put the sand in it, heated the sand, inserted the feather tube, and when I took it out again, the feather became transparent, so that the pen would become more wear-resistant and strong.
After the feather tube cooled, he took a bamboo skewer and pulled out the tube to hollow out the scale-like substance, which was convenient for storing ink and writing. Then she found another pair of scissors, cut it diagonally at the base of the feather, trimmed the tip of the pen and the place where she held the pen, dipped it in ink, and found that the writing was very smooth, and she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Sure enough, I'm still used to using a hard pen!
Put all the quill pens into the water and boil them, degreased them and put them in the sun to dry, looking at her row of quill pens, Jian Ning was a little small.
Who said writing web novels is easy? Over the years, in order to write a good novel, she has read many books, and the hard work she has put in before can now come in handy!
The sun was scorching at noon, and it didn't take long for all the water to evaporate. Jian Ning put away the quill, returned to Jian's father's house, and worked with Jian's second brother to move the desk to his room, and then started the day's work again.
She grinded, Jian Erge fanned, Jian Ning spread out the paper, the quill pen was dipped in ink, and after a little thought, she wrote a few words on the paper: Infant Ning of the Wild Ambition.
