Gu Wan saw that Sister-in-law Chen brought her four-year-old daughter with her, the child was a little baby fat, with a round face, big eyes open, ignorant, moist and beautiful, and she was a little happy, and hurriedly grabbed a handful of candy cubes and handed them to her to eat.

Chen Hui looked at the candy, it didn't look like starch candy, took a closer look, and exclaimed: "This candy is made of sand starch, right?" I've heard my father say before that this kind of snow candy cube is only sold in Dayong's 'Honey Zhai', and there are only three or five boxes sold every day, which is a good thing with no price! ”

Gu Wan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Where is the expensive thing that Sister-in-law Chen said, this is just homemade, but the materials are rarer, and it is also a snack for children to eat." ”

When everyone heard that it was self-made, Chen Hui unconsciously showed a shocked look, and the others didn't think much about it, and hurriedly looked over, and saw that this sugar cube was as white as snow, with different images, including white rabbits, snakes, and flowers.

Gu Wan was moved, she had been in the 21st century for a long time, and she almost forgot that the sugar industry in the Feng Dynasty was not developed, and the sugar boiled by hand was very small, and it was turbid, and it was an absolute luxury if it was slightly higher, and sugar was not like salt and iron, it was controlled by the imperial court, and it was not easy for ordinary people to get involved.

Her thoughts flowed, but her face was not revealed, she politely talked to several sisters-in-law, and behaved in a way that was not generous, so that it was difficult for the daughters-in-law present not to have a good impression of her.

After the feast, it was already dark.

The men all went home, a few children were laughing outside the door with melons and fruit snacks, and Chen Hui helped Gu Wan clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Gu Wan didn't refuse, there were too many things, she cleaned up alone, I'm afraid it would take half the night.

The leftovers were divided to feed the pigs, pots and pans were put into the pool, Gu Wan put the remaining half pot of white flour steamed buns, as well as a few pieces of bacon, and packed them in baskets, planning to wait for tomorrow, let Sun Darttou help send them to Futian Courtyard, I heard that recently, there have been many disaster victims in Yazhou, and there are more and more beggars on Xingyuan Street, and the life of Futian Courtyard is not very good, because most of the people in it are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they can't do work, and they can drink a bowl of gruel every day, and they are lucky not to die of hunger.

Gu Wan set up a banquet, and it was a pity that the rest of the meal was wasted, and if it was sent to Futian Courtyard, it might be able to save people's lives!

Gu Wan can do these things in private, there is no need to say it, so as to save people from saying that she is pretending. After a while, everything was cleaned up, and Chen Hui and the others visited Gu Wan's new home with great interest.

The two brothers and sisters of the Gu family have just arrived, and the yard has not been cleaned up, except for a few stone tables and stone benches, there are some trees and flowers that were planted before, Wang Ce took good care of them, and now in the New Year, there is a little greenery.

However, the east wing where Gu Wan lives is extremely elegantly furnished, there are not many things, but everything is not ordinary, there is no incense in the house, only a sky-blue ceramic incense burner is placed in front of the window, and all kinds of fruits are placed in it, and the fruit is fragrant.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the bedside, the thread-bound books and a few bamboo slips placed on the small bookshelf of golden silk nanmu.

Chen Hui looked over through the light and saw that the light was a paper thread-bound book, how could there be fifty or sixty books, each of which was exquisitely bound, and there were even hardcover books with gold leaf inlaid at the four corners, "This is ......"

Gu Wan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "It's just a few miscellaneous books, I have nothing to do, my eldest brother is afraid that I will be bored, so I can take a look at it to pass the time." ”

Chen Hui's eyes were dizzy, and when he looked at Gu Wan's gaze, he became more and more suspicious.

If you say that the jade ornaments at home can be bought with money, even if there is, it can only mean that the family is rich, but the books are ...... After years of war in the previous dynasty, most of the books were damaged, and now, even the big families can have a large-scale collection of books.

She remembers that when she was very young, her mother's family was still rich, she was in her hometown, she went to the birthday banquet of the old lady of the prefect's family with her father, and a few friends quarreled, and accidentally broke into the study, so her father played a handboard, and her hands were swollen and like turnips, and they were not good for more than ten days - and in the study, there were only a dozen books, not even half of them...... If you really want to talk about it, these dozens of books in front of you are naturally not many for the real family, but if you place them casually and show them to a ten-year-old girl, no matter which one you are in, it is unlikely that you will be so careless - how many books you have in the family will be so careless!

When she got married, her mother took a copy of the "Female Commandments" and a fragment of the "Tao Te Ching" that she married at home, and brought them to her to press the box, which greatly increased her status in her in-law's family......

Gu Wan would definitely be surprised if she knew that Chen Hui thought so, in fact, these dozens of books here are indeed miscellaneous books to watch and play, and the really important ones are all in the study, two large bookcases, one of which is the books that Gu Anran needs to use - "University", "Tao Te Ching", "Book of Rites" and so on. The other one is the books that Gu Wan bought and can't be easily shown, of course, these books, Gu Wan tried her best to choose these books that had been in this era and were not common now, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble...... If it weren't for the absolute intelligence of her store, the books that belong to the local area, and the books that already exist in the local area, are all listed separately, and she wants to choose, I'm afraid it will take some effort.

She has long found that most of the ancient books she has read in the 21st century have them in her own world, and even the author's name is almost the same, but the names of the surviving dynasties are slightly different, some dynasties have, and some, she has never even heard of them, just like Qin Shi Huang, in her world, the first emperor was obviously surnamed Zhao, established the Wei Dynasty, and did not die in the second generation, but inherited it for three hundred years before it was replaced by the Han Dynasty of the Liu family......

She also didn't understand whether the history she knew had been revised, or whether it was simply two worlds, as the popular saying in the twenty-first century, that she lived in a parallel time and space on Earth.

Fortunately, Gu Wan has never been a more serious person, she lives her own life, and she just knows a little bit of history, so there is no need to get to the bottom of it......

Invite a few sisters-in-law to sit down and serve tea and fruit snacks, and after a while, Gu Wan obviously found that the most talkative sister-in-law Chen was a little absent-minded, and her eyes glanced at the bookshelf from time to time...... She couldn't help but laugh.

It's no wonder, not to mention now, even in the previous life, even if Gu Wan understands that books are precious, she can't really understand the thirst for knowledge and envy of the ordinary people of this dynasty.
