The farmer's breakfast was very simple, the ingredients were limited, Ji Ranjia pasted a pot of cornmeal cakes, boiled wild vegetable gnocchi soup, rubbed a layer of muddy oil in the pot and fried chili pickles, and sprinkled a layer of finely chopped peanuts.

By the time she brought out the food, Gu Sifan had already divided the dishes and bowls into several baskets, and would return them to another family later.

After the Gu family got up and washed up, the food was already warm.

Ji Ranjia returned to the house and went to the hall with the prepared meeting gift, the old father was a medium-sized and somewhat thin old man, his hair was a little gray, and he had a dry cigarette pinned to his waist, and he straightened his back and sat on the top seat with a solemn face. Gu Mu was wearing a half-worn dark red blouse, her hair was meticulously combed, with a raw forehead, she stretched her face and lowered her eyelids, I don't know if she didn't rest well or was not satisfied with the marriage.

The old couple sat on the left with their two babies, and the three old couples sat on the right with their four-year-old babies. Gu Erxi was afraid that he would go back directly after helping last night, and their husband and wife and children did not stay.

Everyone was still laughing a few words, but when they saw Ji Ranjia and Gu Sifan coming together, they couldn't help but raise their faces slightly and purse their mouths, looking like they were passing the court.

Ji Ranjia and Gu Sifan knelt in front of Gu Father and Gu Mother and respectfully toasted tea, and the two old men were silent, and they wanted to let them kneel for a while. Gu Sifan coughed lightly and said to Ji Ranjia: "Dad and mother are old, and their hands and feet are not dexterous, let's just put the tea on the table, otherwise it will not be good for anyone to hit the cup or spill water and touch the moldy head later." ”

Ji Ranjia stood up with him obediently and quickly put the cup on the table.

Father Gu's eyes widened, and his hands were about to be raised, and everyone's eyes were shining, and the corners of his lips were raised, making it clear that he wanted to see the excitement.

"Daughter-in-law, our family will give me up to become the envy of Xie Yuan's family, and everyone in our family understands etiquette. My father and mother taught me how to be a man since I was a child, otherwise I would have studied well and my roots were bad, and I would not have achieved what I am today. Gu Sifan chuckled and said, turned around and asked Gu Father and Gu Mother: "Daddy, did you say it?" Today, my son has a daughter-in-law and has become a small family, and you have a lot of things on your mind. ”

Before the ancient father's fire came out, he smoothed it out, squinted his eyes and pretended to nod deeply, "That is, although the ancestors of our ancient family are all mud legs that are shaved in the ground, but everyone sits upright, and there has never been a domineering and rampant person who steals chickens and dogs." The ancestors have accumulated virtue and piled up on the body of the fourth, and you must not forget your father and mother and your brothers when you are developed in the future. ”

Gu Sifan had a faint helplessness between his eyebrows, and responded: "The child knows." ”

Ji Ranjia gave the shoes she was going to give to her father and mother, got two thin red envelopes, and she smiled and gave each of the children of the Gu brothers a pair of small and delicate silver peanuts strung with red strings.

The masters of the palace like to reward people with gold melon seeds and silver peanuts, she is full of love for this kind of thing, and has accumulated a lot of gold and silver ingots that she is not willing to exchange for a whole piece.

The size of the peanuts is also very particular, she chooses the smallest one, and the four give it away only half a tael of silver.

"Yo, the fourth brother and sister are quite generous, but they are more generous than me, a young lady from a foreign family," Zhu Chunjiao covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled, her Danfeng eyes looked Ji Ranjia up and down, and her heart was jealous. For some reason, she had to push the boat down the river and choose Gu Santai, a salesman who had no interest, and when she saw Gu Si, she regretted that her intestines were blue, and she scratched her head and made a gesture against Gu Si behind her back, but she was ignored by him every time.

She actually has a sense of superiority, although she is a concubine of a foreigner, she also has 20 acres of land to marry, which is rare and rich in ten miles and eight townships. In addition, her aunt also won a lot of good things for her, there are two shops in the town, one is a grocery store for Gu Santai, and the other is a wine shop, and their family of three lives in the backyard, and the three outputs can have forty taels of silver a year!

Ordinary people expect that their families can save three or five acres of land a year to reach the sky.

She took out a few pennies to buy some food, and her mother-in-law praised her all over the village, and she lived a more comfortable life than in her mother's house. She is not ugly, not only has she never been on the ground, but she has never even approached the stove, she is very delicate, and everyone is envious, jealous and hateful when she sees it?

Now she has become a person of envy, jealousy and hatred.

How can a village girl be whiter and more delicate than her? It must have come out of an unclean place, otherwise it would have taken away the little uncle's heart.

"I was brought to Kyoto by my aunt since I was a child, so how can our poor children enjoy happiness at home? So I went to the big official mansion to do some light work, which was rewarded by the masters, and I was never willing to use it, so I stayed for the children as a gift. Ji Ranjia chuckled and vaguely said, after all, he knows a lot of things, which are not something that ordinary people should learn, they have to have a source.

"Oh, so my brother and sister have seen the big officials and the wives? They must be very big, aren't they all a lot of people waiting for them when they travel? Ma Meilan couldn't help but let out a low breath when she heard this, the biggest official she had ever seen was the official with a knife hanging in the town, and the small official with the size of a sesame seed could walk sideways. She really couldn't imagine what kind of life the big officials were like.

"Yes, there are many rules in the official eunuchs, and the number of grandmothers, girls, mothers-in-law, and servants around people of different identities is different," she replied softly with crooked eyebrows.

Ji Ranjia can climb to the position of a first-class girl next to the favorite concubine in the palace, and let the prince beg to be a concubine, and still has some communication skills. If she wants to make a good impression, it is not difficult for her to make a good impression, as long as she makes the jealous faces of others less aggressive through expressions, and she will succeed most of them.

"Oh, it turns out that the fourth brother and sister have been subordinates before, so how can they be worthy of our family's Xie Yuanlang? If people found out, wouldn't they laugh at us? Zhu Chunjiao was frightened.

Father Gu immediately stood up when he heard this, and didn't give Gu Sifan a chance to speak, and said directly: "The fourth family, have you really been a slave?" Our ancient family is not a big family, but it has also been Xie Yuanlang, and our daughter-in-law must be a daughter of a good family!

If you are, then hurry up and pack your things and go back to your parents' house while you are not being seen. Otherwise, it will delay the future of the fourth child, and our Gu family will not be able to spare you! ”

"Dad, do you know that the marriage matches of the girls of the big official family are all selected from the Jinshi, and they are no worse than the young lady of the small family. And such a woman knows a lot, which helps her husband rise step by step in the officialdom. Gu Sifan poured a cup of tea for Gu's father, and said with an indifferent smile: "My son will definitely not destroy his future." ”

Gu's father glanced at him hesitantly, thinking to himself, his son is twenty-three years old, and the family didn't find him a matchmaker to pick a marriage. He has always focused on his studies, and suddenly said that he was going to get married two months ago, which was unusual.

Gu Mu didn't have any ideas, she looked directly at her favorite third daughter-in-law, and asked in a gentle voice that could drip water: "Chunjiao, is what your uncle said right?" ”

Zhu Chunjiao is just a lady from a foreign family who is an ordinary member of the city, she can read words and count, read two sour poems, and face a group of half-brothers and sisters in the house all day long.

How did she know what the big official's family looked like, she only knew that there was really a maid in the script who was obsessed with the big official's family. She glanced at Gu Sifan, who had a faint brow, afraid that she would shake her head and be regarded as an ignorant woman by him, so she nodded and responded: "Uncle is true, but everyone is raised as a child by the big officials, and he will give him a rich dowry, and he will also provide a lot of officialdom help to the man." I don't know if the fourth sibling is the same? ”

After speaking, Zhu Chunjiao thought about her words carefully, and felt that it was quite good, quite level, not only would not expose her ignorance, but she could step on the bride, so she smiled and waited for a reply.

Who is Gu Sifan, that is the emperor in the previous life who had a handsome talent by his side, his belly was black since he was a child, and he has been cultivated for so many years, and one Xie Yuan is not enough to show how powerful he is.

He only needed to use his brain to think about the level that he could reach as a cheap sister-in-law, and then he understood the source of her words, and he didn't need Ji Ranjia to speak, he directly pierced her words, "Second sister-in-law, are you talking about Tang Zhonghu's script ordering bamboo incense?" It is impossible for those children of families who have fallen in the middle of their families to surrender their identities to make a living. The family of a person who can write a script is certainly not wealthy, and he needs to show off to win the hearts of the public. Their level of knowledge is limited, but they write through hearsay. ”

Zhu Chunjiao's face turned red, and she hummed: "Then what do you say is so rare about a girl from a big official's family?" Didn't those people who raised people take a fancy to the power and rich dowry of the big officials behind the girl? ”

"Second sister-in-law, a girl is a girl, how strong can she be with the big official's family? How much convenience can they give to the lifters and jinshi? You take it for granted, this is not an in-law, but it is not as reassuring as an alliance in officialdom. Lifting people and Jinshi to marry girls, that is, the girls are edified by the master's side, and they have everyone's demeanor, and they also know how to take care of the backyard, which is higher than the daughter of a small family. He said lightly.

Zhu Chunjiao was so angry that she didn't know how he scolded Huai when she hadn't studied, right? It clearly means that Ji Ranjia is a thousand times better than her? She wants to see how a girl can live a small life with him, hehe, the master looks at the monthly money of one or two silver a month, if he only supports his family, it is okay to say, but the uncle obviously wants to continue to take the exam, which is not a precious thing in paper, ink, pen and inkstone?

The two of them will still live in the town in the future, and which one will not cost money to eat and dress? When they have a child, it is another account, and when they are calculated, a tael of silver will soon make them stretched.
