An Xuning pursed his lips tightly when he listened, he stood in place and breathed steadily, but he didn't move.

Ran Jia didn't know what to do, she whispered again: "Brother An is going to marry a wife and have children in the future, I know that you have been taking care of me for the sake of the sixth son." But when my sister-in-law enters the door and knows that you take a lot of care of me, she will lose her temper. Besides, I have recognized the village chief and his wife as godfathers and godmothers, and no one will dare to bully me in the future.

You deserve to have your own life. ”

"I provide meat, water, and firewood, and you cook for me, and no one else sees it, and it is all right," he was reluctant to eat three steaming and delicious meals a day, and if he went back to his old ways, he would be anxious to kill all the prey on the mountain.

"Brother An, this is a sign of respect for your wife and my husband in the future, I hope you can understand," After speaking, Ran Jia took a step back directly, ignoring the water and firewood in his hand, and closed the door tightly.

The half-old door separated the sight of the two of them, and also erected a high wall in their hearts, Ran Jia caressed his chest, and there was a sullen sore pain inside.

The woman's heart is too small and too soft, and she inadvertently lets a person in, and she can't get out, so she can only completely seal it in the dust.

Since then, Ran Jia really didn't receive any help from An Xuning in the morning, because she recognized the village chief and his wife as godfathers and godmothers, and after Meng Qigu came back from relatives, she specially organized three tables of recognition banquets, inviting more prestigious people in the village and relatives, and there were chicken, pork, eggs and pork at the banquet, which was quite sumptuous, showing everyone their recognition and protection of Ran Jia.

Ran Jia was wearing a pink skirt embroidered with silver bamboo, her hair was neatly tied and inserted in a silver step, and as she walked, it flashed with a little light, dazzling people's eyes painfully. She kowtowed to the village chief and his wife in a proper manner, and listened to their teachings, nothing more than that she wanted to regard herself as a member of the Meng family, and she had to have a family honor and not damage the reputation of the family, of course, she would also be maintained by the Meng family, if anyone couldn't get along with her, it would be impossible to get along with their old Meng family, and it would also be impossible to get along with Meng Qigu's maiden family!

This sentence is said to the other people here, let them restrain their hearts to watch the excitement, and from now on, they must treat Ran Jia as a girl of the Meng family, and they must not despise and tease.

After finishing speaking, the village chief directly took out a half-tael of broken silver from his arms and stuffed it into Ran Jia's hand.

Everyone present gasped, whoever has silver in the countryside will become a rich family in the eyes of everyone, no matter how rich the village chief's family is, it has to be left to his children and grandchildren.

The village chief is quite dignified in the hearts of the big guys, they all laugh and say auspicious words, and no one is disappointed on such an occasion.

Meng Qigu took out a silver bracelet of some years and put it on Ran Jia's wrist, and patted Ran Jia's hand with tears: "You will be my daughter in the future." ”

This sentence, Ran Jia smiled and accepted it in everyone's shaking of their heads.

It's over, the village chief's family is confused by the little vixen, and I'm afraid that they will take out all the old people in the family to honor her! Everyone thought so, and they were a little scared in their hearts, this vixen dared to come out and make trouble, her Taoism must be very deep. They exchanged glances with each other, and shook their heads helplessly.

Ran Jia opened the package she brought, and gave the village chief and his wife a set of spring and autumn clothes embroidered with a hundred blessing characters, a handkerchief for the three sisters-in-law and two sisters, and a purse for each of the dolls, and although the four sons of the village chief's family were her brothers, they were not related by blood, so she was not good at sending her own embroidery, so she each gave a talisman woven together with ten copper coins with a red rope.

Looking at the bright red rope and the brand-new copper coin, everyone was a little puzzled, whether this Ran Jia was a fox spirit or not, she dared to touch such a thing that blocked the evil.

After the confession ceremony, Ran Jia's body was completely healed, and the wound on her forehead left a peach petal-like scar, which added some color to her beautiful face.

The needlework, fabrics and other items she asked someone to buy came, as well as some very famous scriptures, as well as fashionable scripts and playbooks. Although she has a deep memory of the original owner's heart of the capital, Ran Jia still wants to keep track of the things that people love at any time, so that the embroidered things are popular.

A few days ago, while practicing with discarded fabrics and needles and threads left by the original owner, she looked at the script and the script, wondering what she wanted to embroider. Her soul is completely in tune with this body, the skills of the original owner permeate every cell of the body, and the slender embroidery needle is the language expression she is most familiar with.

Ran Jia squinted her eyes slightly, and was still ready to embroider a set of small kang screens in a decent manner, with the theme of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, which is loved by people. With an idea, she thought about the color and posture of many flowers, and fixed the most beautiful picture on rice paper, a total of two sets of pictures, one is the four gentlemen bathing in the morning glow, and the other is the fresh state of the evening after the rain.

The children obediently stood to the side and watched without blinking, their little mouths opened in surprise, obviously they were staring at their aunt to paint, and when the painting was finished, they couldn't understand how their aunt drew it, how it was the same as the real thing.

They have been to the town, a few scholars set up stalls to sell paintings, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, chrysanthemums, are not painted like this, is my aunt really a fox fairy, catch these four kinds of flowers and plants on the paper?

"Want to learn?" Ran Jia finally finished painting, her shoulders were a little sore, she put down the brush, pounded her shoulders, looked at the little beans adoring and amazing little eyes, and asked with a smile.

They all nodded, of course they had to learn such a powerful trick.

"Then I'll enlighten you while embroidering, right?" Ran Jia chuckled and said, "My aunt doesn't learn much, she knows a little bit about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she will pick up things that can see people and teach you." ”

"Is my aunt better than my maternal great-grandfather?"

"No, your maternal great-grandfather was admitted to Xiucai, and your aunt learned it at home from the young lady of the big official's family. Your great-grandfather learned things that are applicable to the imperial examination and serving the country, and your aunt's is more practical. You have to learn from your aunt first, and then from your great-grandfather. She patiently explained.

Xiaodouding nodded one after another, their maternal great-grandfather was a showman, and grandma often hung on his lips, saying that they were a scholarly family, and they had to know how to read in the future, otherwise they would lose the face of the old Meng family and the old Qian family.

However, most of them are still young, and the eldest two girls are only eight or nine years old, and Xiaomeng Village is only an hour and a half away from the town, so there is no school. When they followed their grandmother to Qianjia Village, they read a few lines of poetry with their great-grandfather and recognized two words.

They especially admired and envied those who could read and write, and like all the peasants who were digging in the fields, they felt that such people were two worlds with themselves, and they could not climb high.

Now the aunt said that they were able to enlighten themselves in a serious way, and that they were both male and female, and the children were jumping in place excitedly, their eyes full of stars with joy, and their hands tightly covering their mouths to prevent the screams from spilling out and causing trouble to the aunt.

Embroidery needs to be quiet and endure loneliness, Ran Jia embroidered for three hours a day, taught the babies to recognize words and endorse in the morning, and then assigned them learning tasks, she embroidered a kang screen for an hour. After eating and taking a nap, she taught them to draw, and let them practice repeatedly with a brush dipped in water on a wooden board.

Ran Jia felt that the road of participating in the imperial examination was much harsher than the college entrance examination for future generations, so it was better to learn more practical ones. She paints not to look at it, but to burn it on paper and then present it as a work, so she is closer to the style of posterity.

She taught the children the same, and her first task was to draw eggs seriously!

Ran Jia continued to embroider the kang screen for two hours, and after dinner, she would sometimes take out the chessboard to explain the rules to them, and a wonderful endgame, and then let them divide into two teams to fight each other; Sometimes she would take out the Xun that people brought to teach them to play nice and cool tunes.

The adults of the village chief's family were very happy, first, Ran Jia helped to watch the children, and second, the children did not play like crazy children in the village, but studied knowledge seriously. They have to send anything good here, saying that it is for the child, but in fact, they want Ran Jia to accept it.

said that it was a small kang screen, but she embroidered half of Bai Juan's area, and it was still double-sided, which took her more than two months. After she finished embroidering, she wrapped it in oiled paper, and then put a muslin bag on the outside, and asked the embroidery shop about the price when the son-in-law of the seller went to Fucheng to buy the goods.

Meng Qigu came to see the progress of her embroidery every once in a while, and watched the extremely thin silk thread winding into a beautiful beauty on Bai Juan little by little, which would be even more enthusiastic to take over the work, and was ready to go to her son-in-law to explain it carefully.

"Just ask the price and don't sell it?" Meng Qigu repacked the things, carefully held them and asked.

Ran Jia nodded, "Generally, the embroidery shop is a bully, we had the idea of selling it for the first time, and when we were looked at, the price must be very low." Let my brother-in-law ask the price first, and when my brother-in-law walks the dart, ask all the way, and there will always be someone willing to give us a suitable price. ”

Meng Qigu couldn't help but ask curiously: "Jianizi, how much do others pay for your four big handkerchiefs at the right price?" ”

Since she recognized her relatives, Meng Qigu directly called her Jianizi, but she was a lot more intimate.

Ran Jia listened to her question and giggled with a smile, not only her, but also the row of little beans covered their stomachs with laughter, "Grandma, it's not a big handkerchief, it's a kang screen embroidered by my aunt, it's a screen placed on the kang, and it hasn't been framed yet." ”

Their favorite now is their aunt, who is beautiful and knowledgeable, gentle in temperament, and more importantly, she is very good at telling stories, not the old grandmother in the village who has long memorized the myths and legends of demons and monsters.
