Chrysanthemum said to Zhang Dazhuan with a straight face: "Dad, don't say that." Yang Zi is used to seeing all kinds of people outside, and what he comes home to picture is a comfortable and loving father. Daddy just treats him as his son as usual. Even if the younger siblings are from the capital, they are not only from a scholarly family, but also know the rules of serving their in-laws, how can they laugh? Besides, we are croppers, and even if we have some money, we are still croppers. If you pretend to be and learn the rules of the family, you can't learn it. ”

She doesn't want to restrain herself, it's better to keep her true colors, if she tries her best to pretend and insists on acting as a home for the outbreak of Xinrong, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be quiet in the future. With that kind of work, it is better to put more effort into educating the next generation.

Zhang Huai's narrow eyes flashed, his gaze was a little cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Chrysanthemum is right." What about the croppers? Didn't Yang Zi go out from Qingnan Village? Didn't Xiaoshi and Sishun go out from Qingnan Village? Didn't Li Changfeng go out from Qingnan Village? This time, I will definitely be able to show off my talents. Heroes don't ask where they come from! Those who are officials, are their ancestors born to be powerful? Hmph, if he can pass on a hundred years and two hundred years without decay, he can be regarded as a good ruler. Many people have fallen after decades of prosperity, and most of them are not from poor backgrounds. Don't think too much about it, just take this opportunity to let us take a look at the character of Yang's daughter-in-law. ”

Laishou has already passed the county and government examinations, and is now working hard day and night, preparing to participate in the hospital examination at the end of June. Zhou Fuzi had high hopes for him, and felt that he was very hopeful of being admitted to the student and entering the county to study.

Zhang Dazhuan and his family have always been simple-hearted, and they are refreshing and unpretentious, and after listening to their son's words, they also reacted, and they were reasonable, so they didn't have to bother Zhang Luo. He also said that when Yang Zi left, there were only four tiled houses in the house, and the garden where he lives now is not worse than the garden of the family above the lower pond - this is what the shopkeeper Song said when he came back - can he still wronged them?

"Humph! He's only a little bit of money a month. Daddy earns more miles than he does now! Dare to dislike Dad, look at me and I won't smoke him. Zhang Dazhuan said proudly.

Aoki looked down and hid a muffled smile.

Huaizi coughed, and said to him with a smile: "Dad, this is the word." Don't talk about it. You can't compare it like that, it's going to be laughed at. ”

Everyone is vying to be an official, is it going to the dozens of taels of silver?

Zheng Changhe hurriedly comforted his in-laws: "Yang Zi, this baby was raised by me since I was a child, not that kind of person, you just wait and see." ”

Speaking of which, everyone curiously guessed what kind of person Zhang Yang's daughter-in-law was.

It turned out that Zhang Yang was a high school jinshi two years ago. The palace test was hand-picked by the holy Zhu pen as a flower exploration, and he was awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing, plus he was a proud disciple of the court, and the powerful families in the capital were worried about his relatives. In the end, Cao Yuan, an old friend of the current Guozi priest and Master Zhou, personally begged the emperor to allow his granddaughter to marry Zhang Yang, so the emperor decreed marriage.

Other families had to feel sorry, and the Fang family was one of them.

Fang Jingyu's eldest uncle is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. He already liked Zhang Yang, and then he heard his nephew talk about the relationship with Zhang Zheng's family, which strengthened his idea of getting married. also specially instructed his nephew to visit Zhang Yang's parents, but he was busy in vain after all.

Fang Jingyu thought about it back then, but he didn't say a few more words, and later cooperated with the Zheng family several times, and the money he earned couldn't be said to outsiders at all.

The rice threshing machine has been continuously improved by the Fang family, and now the workshop is getting more and more, and it has always been the leader in the industry; Sausages, all kinds of pickles, etc., are now made by everyone, but the Fang family is still dominant.

Xiatang set this piece, climate, water and soil, pork, and ingredients. Various factors have contributed to the unique taste of Aoyama sausages, which have become a local specialty. Even if his family makes sausages elsewhere, the taste is not bad, but the taste is different from that of Qingshan sausage and Qingshan ham, and others can't compare.

Back then, a method of storing chili peppers, Chrysanthemum thought that his family was powerful. It's hard to earn 10,000 silver, who knows that he harvested chili peppers elsewhere, plus his own chili peppers, and made tens of thousands of dollars in a winter.

Therefore, the Fang family has been staring at the Zheng family and the Zhang family, and they have also deliberately befriended them. For the sake of Zhang Yang's family affairs, Fang Jingyu went to the Zhang family in person and met Zhang Dazhuan and He's family. Although he didn't say anything about his intention to get married, they talked very happily. I thought I was going to become a relative, but I was preempted by someone, and I was so angry.

After Zhang Yang was given marriage, he wanted to take his father and mother to the capital, but he couldn't bear the pain of their travel, so he wanted to take leave and return to his hometown to get married, but he couldn't do it.

After Zhang Dazhuan learned of this, he asked Zhang Huai to send him a letter, so that he could marry in the capital, and entrust his teacher Zhou Fuzi to preside, so that he didn't have to worry about his father, and he would bring his daughter-in-law back to meet his in-laws in the future. The letter also sent 3,000 taels of silver to him to buy a family property in the capital.

After Zhang Yang got married, he added a son in August last year. Ignoring the ridicule of his colleagues and the opposition of his wife, he helped his son marry a pumpkin, and there were more and more fruits and vegetables in the Zhangjia vegetable garden.

Speaking of his grandson, He Shi was a little distressed, and said: "The pumpkin can't walk miles, so he has to follow his old son and mother to run so far, and he will die of sin." The little baby is very squeamish, and the second daughter-in-law is raising a baby for the first time, and she has never experienced it. When you are out on the road, sometimes you don't have a village in front of you, and you can't find a store in the back, so ......it's hard to find a home."

Chrysanthemum heard that she was worried about this and that, so she first comforted her softly, and then simply went with her, letting her nag with Yang, and she talked to Red Pepper and Purple Eggplant.

Chestnut pulled Huaizi and asked, "Dad, you say, will the uncle forget about me?" ”

He was referring to asking the uncle to help find Master Wu, and Hulu listened with concern when he heard this.

Xiaoshi Zhao Yun and Zhang Yang are the same batch of jinshi, and they are third in the second class. His sister Zhao Qing sent him a letter, saying that his younger brother Zhao Feng didn't like to study, and he had a strong temperament and a short temper, so he asked him to write a letter back to discipline.

It just so happened that he befriended a noble son who started with martial arts, and said that many veterans who had retired from the army had returned home due to disability and had a very difficult livelihood, and said that these people crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, and many of them were very capable. So, he picked a lame soldier with good fists and feet, hired him with a generous gift, and sent him back to teach Zhao Feng martial arts.

Chestnut and gourd were very envious when they saw it, and occasionally went to Zhao's house to study with Zhao Feng, but they still had to go to school and study, which was not as convenient as their own home after all.

So, as soon as he rolled his eyes, he personally picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Zhang Yang, to the effect that since the uncle left, the nephew missed it very much, and he lost weight when he thought about it, and he heard that the nephew's name (big name) was still given by the uncle, and every time he mentioned it, he felt honored, and the uncle helped Chestnut find a martial arts master by the way, just like the third uncle of Xiao Zhao......

Huaizi looked at his son amusedly and said, "Your uncle is very busy, so do you have time to pester?" You have practiced the fist and foot kung fu taught by Dr. Qin with Uncle Heipi, which is better than anything else, and you can't chew it if you are greedy. Doctor Qin has many capable people, can the martial arts he teach be worse? Even my dad is practicing. ”

Chestnut hurriedly said: "I'm also practicing that." But Dad, Uncle Zhao's master knows a lot of miles, and he said a lot about the war......"

Zhang Huai frowned and said: "Chestnut, have you thought about it, whether to learn literature, or practice martial arts, or farm and breed at home?" If you just want to listen to stories, there are many books at home, and there are not the most stories in the books? ”

Chestnut hurriedly straightened his body, held his small chest and said to his father: "Dad, I will definitely study hard, and practicing martial arts is also a matter after returning from school." In this way, you can also train your body bones to be stronger, and save yourself from becoming a weak scholar who is powerless. What will I do in the future, when I grow up, I will tell my father. ”

Zhang Huai nodded, and asked him to say a few words to the gourd.

In the evening, the two families went to Zhang's house in Oak Garden together, and the Zheng family went back after dinner.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Chrysanthemum instructed Aunt Liu and others to clean up the third courtyard, and appropriately added some household utensils, and the sheets and mosquito nets were also complete, so they waited for Zhang Yang's family to come back and move in directly.

When the house was cleaned up, He had to go in and visit several times a day, touching here and looking there, as if his youngest son had already moved in.

However, Huaizi and Chrysanthemum didn't have time to talk to her about her youngest son, because it was time to harvest a large number of fungus.

In the past, they were all picked and harvested first, and there were not very many of them, so they were not so busy; Now, the fungus grows in large quantities, and while harvesting, it has to be dried in the sun, and if it rains, it will be even more troublesome, and it has to be dried with a clay kang. The whole family was so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground.

This money is not so easy to make either. Everything has been arranged, and the fungus has been planted, but it is extremely difficult to make and package it. In the past, there were few acacia seeds, and after the fungus was recovered, it was dried and sold at any time, so he never bothered about these things, but now it is not done.

After discussion, Huaizi and Aoki decided to follow the example of chrysanthemums with clay kang, and if the fungus was picked on a rainy day, they would use the clay kang to dry; The packaging is mainly made of cloth bags, and then put into wooden boxes, and the boxes are stuffed with charcoal to prevent moisture, and there are also grass and wood ashes.

Anyway, after this fungus is recovered, it will be taken immediately, otherwise there will be more things, which is why Huaizi has to make a contract with Master He in advance.

As a result, the Zhang family and the Zheng family kept transporting the harvested and dried fungus out. Master He and the Zhou family of Changxing Warehouse knew that they were short of manpower, so they sent a carriage to pick up the goods.

The family was so busy, Chrysanthemum didn't go out, thinking about visiting He's house after this time.

In the meantime, she often took gourds and chestnuts and others to spend half a day to harvest fungus, so she specially asked for leave from the school. In her opinion, this labor class is also very important.

"Pick the big ones and cut them, and keep the small ones for a few more days. It's not cheap to grow this thing, and it's picked in batches. In a season's spring ears, I can't harvest much from a single piece of wood, and it's not even a mile or two after it's dried. It's just that we have a lot of wood at home, so we can collect a lot, which is actually extremely difficult. ”

While cutting the fungus with a thin piece of bamboo, Chrysanthemum explained to Qingshan and other little babies the difficulty of planting fungus and the happiness of harvesting.

Chestnut hurriedly asked: "A piece of wood can't get one or two weights, so how many pieces of wood do we have to use after selling so many fungus last year?" ”
