Chapter 153: The Male Protagonist's Best Mother (Forty-One)
Ji Saburo's family has gone through this catastrophe, and their lives have become better and better.
Ji Sanlang was recuperating at home, and only Ji Sanniang was the only one to work.
But she met the soft-hearted Gu Niangzi, in addition to giving her some wages every day, she would also give her some food.
And these things will no longer be taken away by Mrs. Ji, nor will they be snatched away by the children in other houses of the Ji family.
There is also Wan Niangzi, who knows that her husband has accepted Ji Keji as a disciple, and she treats him like half a son.
The food and accommodation are all in the Zheng family, and when he goes back, he will ask Ji Keji to bring some back.
Wan Niangzi will also make clothes for Ji Keji, and it is not made of particularly good fabrics, but they are all new and comfortable to wear.
Instead of spending a penny on the family, Ji Keji was able to bring back food, clothing, etc. to the family.
There are other neighbors, and they all pity Ji Saburo's family.
Although he is not as generous as Gu and Wan, he is also within his ability to take care of it.
The days are good, and with a head, Ji Saburo and his wife seem to have a fire burning in their hearts, and they are becoming more and more diligent and capable.
Ji Saburo injured his leg and couldn't move.
It doesn't matter, it's hard to beat Zheng Wanjun who came in later generations.
She copied the wheelchair, which once again amazed her parents and Ji Keji.
Why again?
Isn't there also movable type printing?
Although Zheng Wanjun didn't remind too much, just a little click, and the clever Ji Keji carved out the movable type.
However, Ji Keji knows very well in his heart that sometimes just a few words can make people see through the fog.
Therefore, Ji Keji and Zheng Wanjun came to Mr. Zheng, took out the carved movable type and a small wooden frame, and successfully demonstrated how to print with movable type on the spot.
Ji Keji replied without hesitation, "Thanks to Little Lady Zheng for mentioning it, otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of it at all." β
Zheng Wanjun was a little weak-hearted, and she did mention it, but at the most critical time, it was Ji Keji who took the initiative to think of it.
Her credit doesn't seem to be that great.
As for Ji Keji, instead of rushing to attack, he also put all the credit on Zheng Wanjun.
Is he trying to slap himself up?
It shouldn't be, because Zheng Wanjun clearly saw that her father's eyes had already flashed with her liking for Ji Keji.
Even if Ji Keji doesn't take the initiative to "give credit", Mr. Zheng will still accept him as an apprentice.
So, this man is really kind!
And thank you for it!
Also, Zheng Wanjun found that Ji Keji really admired her cleverness, and she was not "jealous and jealous".
In addition to hating Ma Bao Nan and foolish and filial piety men, Zheng Wanjun also hates a type of man very much: he is incompetent, but he still hates and suppresses excellent partners.
Isn't it good to support each other and achieve each other?
But for the sake of the so-called big man's self-esteem, he uses secular prejudice to PUA women.
Ji Keji doesn't seem to be such a person.
Of course, it may also be that he is still too weak and needs the support of the Zheng family.
But, does a ten-year-old child have such scheming?
Moreover, even if he succeeds in the future, he may not be able to reach the height of the Zheng family.
Zheng Wanjun has vaguely guessed that her family does not seem to be a well-off family.
After all, it is impossible for a real ordinary person to have the ability to invite a retired palace maid from Beijing.
Zheng Wanjun had a guess in her heart, so she began to pay careful attention to the details of Zao's home.
If you don't pay attention to this, Zheng Wanjun found that her family's life is actually different from that of a real small family.
Her family has four "helpers", her father's maid, the mother-in-law in the stove room, a grandmother by her mother's side, and a little maid.
Can ordinary people afford to hire so many people?
Not to mention, these people may not be hired.
Zheng Wanjun observed carefully and boldly speculated: These people may be the legendary sons of the family!
Moreover, there should be more than four of them.
After all, these people are all dedicated to their duties, but the Zheng family's water tank and firewood room have never been empty.
There are also meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables sent regularly, cattle, sheep, poultry, skins and wool goods sent during the New Year......
"My father and mother are just low-key, but my family is very likely to be a big family."
Zheng Wanjun silently hid this guess in her heart.
Then, she began to consciously inquire for information.
When I went to Qingfeng Temple, I met a local old man who was looking at a book.
Zheng Wanjun pulled Ji Keji, pretended to be a curious child, and asked the other party about what local celebrities had appeared.
The old man said proudly, "Heyin Zheng clan! β
Zheng Wanjun and Ji Keji's eyes lit up.
Zheng?
"That's right! It is our Zheng family in Heyin County. Their ancestral home is in Heyin Village, Heyin County, and a hundred years ago, they were ordinary farmers. β
"Later, the Zheng family came out with a genius who could read, at the age of thirteen, he was admitted to Xiucai, even won three yuan, and at the age of twenty-five, he was named the champion by the sage."
"In the following 100 years, all the children of the Zheng family studied hard and entered the imperial examination."
"The most dazzling generation is Zheng Shangshu, a seven-jinshi, father and son double tanhua."
Zheng Shangshu?
Zheng Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zheng Wanjun's maternal grandfather, is also the father of "Father and Son Double Exploration Flowers".
The "son" is the eldest uncle of Zheng Wanjun's relatives, who was sent to Zhejiang the year before last, and the prefect of Sipin has a bright future.
Zheng Wanjun: ...... I knew that my family might be a big family, but I didn't expect it to be so awesome.
Her grandfather was already the head of the Sixth Ministry.
In a few years, it is very likely that he will enter the cabinet.
Entering the cabinet is equivalent to worshipping the prime minister, that is, the important ministers of the court who are above 10,000 people under one person.
There are also uncles and so on, who are also very good.
In the next 30 years, there will be no fault in the Zheng family.
Her father is the youngest son of the Zheng family, not only loved by his parents, but also the eldest brother and second brother regard him as their responsibility.
Over the years, every New Year's holiday, as well as the birthdays of Mr. Zheng and the three children of the Zheng family, Beijing will send rich gifts.
Mr. Zheng loves to be quiet and does not want to be public, and Wan Niangzi takes her husband as the sky, so she naturally follows her low-key.
Otherwise, with the Zheng family's door, it is slow to say that the county is known, and even the prefect must be respectfully held.
Zheng Wanjun: ...... Very good, with such a family background, I am not afraid of meeting a phoenix man and a Zhongshan wolf at all.
Because the Zheng family is really strong, a rookie like Ji Keji, even if he works hard to grow, it will take thirty or fifty years to reach the height of the Zheng family.
And by that time, her children and grandchildren have grown up, are she still afraid of a bad old man?
Ahem, okay, Zheng Wanjun admits that she thinks too much.
The topic was also taken away.
With movable type printing and a chair that could be moved at will, Mr. Zheng began to look at his daughter-
Although he is only seven years old, he is precocious and sensible.
Thinking is like a wild one, and it can always bring unexpected surprises.
It's worthy of being my daughter, who has been so smart since she was a child.
Mr. Zheng knows that he is not good enough, but if he can give birth to excellent children, he will cultivate excellent students.
Who would think that he Zheng Shilang was a useless sick man?
Mr. Zheng originally regarded Zheng Wanjun as the pearl of his palm, and after realizing her extraordinary, he became more and more indulgent.
Wan Niangzi has always obeyed her husband, and when she saw that her husband began to raise her daughter personally, although she disagreed, she still silently let it go.
As for the grandmother invited from Beijing, it has also become an ornament.
Occasionally give Zheng Wanjun an etiquette lesson, or share with Wan Niangzi the popular tricks in Beijing.
The Zheng family's life has also entered a new stage.
Ji Saburo, who has a wheelchair, began to try to do some work.
I can't do hard work, but I still have no problem boiling water for cooking, basket weaving and carpentry.
Subsequently, Mr. Zheng's book printing workshop quietly opened, and Ji Saburo went to work in the workshop.
He studied carpentry, carved for a while, and also looked good.
Mr. Zheng looks at Ji Keji's face, and takes care of Ji Saburo very much, and his salary is higher than the market price.
Ji Sanlang has a stable income, and Ji Sanniang can continue to get paid from Gu Niangzi.
The couple worked hard, and they even received two or three thousand copper coins a month.
Seeing so many copper coins, Ji Saburo and his wife were stunned.
"In addition to food, housing and spending, I can save so much money. It's only a month, if it's a yearβ"
Ji Sanniang pinched her fingers hard, feeling that ten fingers were not enough.
She smiled from ear to ear, as if she had seen her family save several taels of silver a year.
If you save for three or five years, you can find a way to buy a small yard!
"Daddy, pinch me! Is this true? How is it like a dream? β
Ji Saburo is honest, whatever his wife asks him to do, he will really do it.
"Shhh It hurts! You fool, I'll let you pinch, then it's really pinched! "It's still pinching so hard.
Ji Sanniang scolded coquettishly, but the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.
Her arm hurts, so, it's not a dream!
The life of her family is really good, it is a good day that she never dreamed of in the past!
The life of Ji Saburo's family is good, and it is first manifested in the appearance of the family.
Ji Sanlang and Ji Sanniang lost the numbness, haggardness, and old they used to, and there was light in their eyes.
Although he still looks cowardly and cowering, he is more honest than unconfident.
Not to mention Ji Keji, after being raised in the Zheng family for a few months, the dirt and smell of ink on his body disappeared, and his skin gradually turned white.
The calluses on his hands slowly softened and disappeared, and there were no more black stains between his fingernails that seemed to never be washed off.
Wearing clean, well-fitting clothes, as well as the unique temperament bred by reading, he is also a handsome young man.
Ji Keji's appearance is not as delicate as Zhao Qingyun, but he also has a little more manly toughness.
Zhao Qingyun is so beautiful that he is incomprehensible, and Ji Keji is a handsome little Langjun.
The two are different types of beauty, each with its own merits.
However, the one who can give people the most beauty crit is Zhao Qingyun.
Ji Ke has a gentleman like Mr. Zheng, and he works hard enough.
Although he, a latecomer, did not come to the top, he also had capital comparable to Zhao Qingyun.
is always compared by the gentlemen of the academy and the neighbors, but the parties Ji Keji and Zhao Qingyun are not affected by the gossip.
Ji Keji continued to study hard, and he also treated Zhao Qingyun with great respect.
What about Zhao Qingyun, it's too late to read and take care of the family, where is the spare time to go to the comments of unexpected people?
Neither of them cared, but the people in the Ji family's old mansion listened to those words......
