The spring rain is like oil, and since the Han family hired people to weave cloth, the rain in Shangxi Village has not stopped.

It's raining outside, and the farm work in the fields can't be done. The peasant women who were idle came to Han's house one after another to ask for something to do.

Mrs. Han's son and grandson stood all over the yard, there was no work in the rainy day, and they were very happy to run errands in the city.

"Cut, isn't it just that there is a mule cart at home, what's the big deal? If my family marries the daughter of a rich man, they will also ride in a mule cart. "There are people who don't deal with Mrs. Han, and they start to slander them behind their backs.

What is the easiest way to discredit the Han family?

Of course, you have to laugh at Han Xiucai for marrying a dominatrix. Not only did the dominatrix have a bad temper, but she also came from a very humble background.

It is said that the status of the merchant is only higher than that of the untouchables. Mrs. Wang's family was also out of her father's generation. In the generation of Mrs. Wang, the imperial examination was allowed. But the Wang family's foundation is too thin, even if there is a few spare money, there is no background in reading.

The Wang family thought of a good way, that is, to allow their daughter Mrs. Wang to be a scholar. The Wang family paid for their son-in-law to study, and the son-in-law brought the Wang family after he was raised.

Mrs. Han and the Wang family coincide with each other, so there is a mismatched marriage between Han Xiucai and Mrs. Wang.

In the eyes of outsiders, the fact that the Han family can have such a family business now is all the credit of Mrs. Wang. Behind his back, he was laughing at Han Xiucai's soft bones, a soft egg who was greedy for his wife to marry.

Now Han Beiqing has sought a new way out for the Han family, which has provoked a group of people to be hot, and they have moved this set of rhetoric out again.

There is no need for others to chew their tongues, as soon as Han Beiqing walks in the village, some people will talk about it.

"Don't listen to their nonsense. They are jealous of your family. "The person who spoke was called Erniu, and she was the second daughter of the neighbor Erzhu's family.

Since Erzhu's daughter-in-law weaved cloth for the Han family, she found that Han Beiqing's knowledge was far greater than that of her own daughter. Erzhu's daughter-in-law thinks this is normal, after all, Han Beiqing's father is Xiucai, and the old lady is the daughter of a rich man's family. The knowledge must be much stronger than that of your own soil girl.

So during this period of time, Erniu became Han Beiqing's little follower.

Han Beiqing is an adult in his bones, and he likes a sensible and obedient little girl like Erniu from the bottom of his heart.

To like someone is to keep feeding. So since the second girl followed Han Beiqing, she has lived a good life of eating and drinking spicy food.

Hearing others chewing their tongues, Er Niu didn't dare to argue with those women, so she could only comfort Han Beiqing.

"It's okay, they're telling the truth." Han Beiqing smiled disappreciatively.

"My mother said that your family is not what others say it is at all. Grandma Han is a very powerful person, she is very good at saving money. also said that it depends on your mother's loser, if it weren't for Grandma Han, your family would have been defeated a long time ago. ”

The second girl is a solid eye, and she actually said bad things about her mother in front of Han Beiqing.

Fortunately, Han Beiqing didn't take it to heart, and listened to Erniu's words to analyze what kind of person she was as a cheap mother.

"My mother's ....." Han Beiqing looked at the second girl suspiciously: "Is it a loser?" ”

"Of course! Everyone in the village said this about her, and also said that Han Xiucai didn't get into the exam for so many years, all because your mother was dragging her feet behind. ”

Han Beiqing disagrees with this statement. Since ancient times, scientific research has been very difficult, especially in the rich places in the south of the Yangtze River, where there are many students. The competitiveness of the more people is extraordinarily large, and Han Xiucai must have no problem in learning, but he is just lacking someone to mention it.

To put it bluntly, the imperial examination is not just about being able to read. What the imperial court wants is not nerds, but talents who can govern the country.

Han Xiucai can't figure out anything about his own family, he is just a nerd who has no clues, and if he can pass the exam, it will make the ancestral tomb smoke.

"My mother is capricious and capricious. My grandfather has really given my family a lot of good things over the years. Don't forget, there are six people above me. There are only five people in your family, and you know this best. ”

The more people chew, the more they use, Mrs. Han, a widow, returned to Shangxi Village with her three sons. The village chief cared for the old feelings, gave a thatched house in the most inconspicuous part of the village, and painted two acres of land.

Mrs. Han with her three sons survived with this kind of belongings.

The money earned over the years is to buy paddy fields in addition to marrying a daughter-in-law, otherwise Han Xiucai would not be able to marry a merchant girl.

"You're right, we have a family of five, and all the delicious food is close to my brother. Nannan, it's still your life, you are the only girl in your family. ”

The second girl looked at Han Beiqing with envy, she really wanted to go to the Han family, because the Han family was the only girl in the whole village.

Han Beiqing sighed and rolled his eyes: "Scarcity is expensive, I may be more good at reincarnation." ”

The Han family is not a rare girl, but Mrs. Han likes her. It is true that she is the only girl in the Han family, and the most important thing is that her whole face after the miscarriage is like a copy of Mrs. Han's face.

Han Beiqing was loved by her grandmother because she looked like Mrs. Han. And her mother, Mrs. Wang, didn't like her, but it was because of this face.

Just ask, what woman can like a child who shares a face with her mother-in-law?

"Nan, this is Yue Jiao." Han Beiqing took Erniu up the mountain in order to pick some local Yue peppers that can be seen everywhere.

Yue pepper, also known as dogwood, is a spice with a spicy taste with a bitter taste, similar to the chili peppers of later generations.

Recently, Boss Han has caught too many fish, both big and small. The family couldn't finish eating, so they sliced and made dried fish and put it under the porch.

When marinating dried fish, Han Beiqing found that the family used this kind of thing that resembles Sichuan pepper to remove the fish.

After tasting it, Han Beiqing decided to pickle some small dried fish by himself, which can also be sold for money.

The peppers at home are picked in the mountains, so in the past two days, Han Beiqing took the second girl to pick the peppers all over the mountains.

It generally grows in sparse forests on hillsides, or in wetter places near foothill streams. In general, in fertile and moist land, there must be large patches of peppers.

"Nannan, we've been picking peppers for two days. What the hell are you going to do? Er Niu looked at Han Beiqing puzzled while picking Yue peppers.

Yes, what does Han Beiqing want to do?
