Chapter 319: The Old Man

Just when everyone was thinking about the two saints in the palace, an old man from the Jia family came.

It is said that Ou Mengmeng will go to the countryside to live for some time every year, spend the summer and come back in the autumn. It's not a matter to always play in Zhuangzi, so I also took the Daiyu sisters to put on men's clothes and go to some villages to see the people's livelihood.

These people are self-cultivated farmers, with a few acres of thin fields, but they also watch the sky for food, if the year is not good, the family can really only sell the land, sell the children and sell the daughters.

In the first two years, the year was not good, and Ou Mengmeng also took the old tricks in the village to some nearby farmers to help them dig wells and raise seedlings, so that the disaster year could pass.

I didn't say which family they were, but I thought it would teach the girls some ways to deal with the disaster. It's not that it's right to open a warehouse to release grain or reduce rent, the ancients also said that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish.

They met a family surnamed Wang in a village, and the old lady of that family was called Grandma Liu, and they were stunned by Ou Mengmeng at once, but they didn't expect that the most amiable and respectable old man in the Red Mansion didn't arrive in Jiafu, but let them meet them in the village.

Like others, using different ways to deal with it, Grandma Liu's village also successfully survived the disaster that time. Grandma Liu is also very grateful, and Ou Mengmeng must leave her name.

Ou Mengmeng looked at these children, and it seemed that none of them were of Mrs. Wang's blood. In the end, he shook his head at them and left.

Think about it, the first time Grandma Liu went to Jia's house, it should be when Baoyu was nine years old, she lived in Qin Keqing's house in Ning Mansion for the first time, and then sleepwalked in the fantasy world, pointing to the twelve hairpins. It's the same time they spend in the countryside, so they don't have to go to Rongfu to borrow money. The cause and effect of the two families is not over.

As a result, when Ou Mengmeng was plucking green onions, a report came from outside, saying that some relatives of the second wife's mother's family came to Zhou Rui's family. The porter has also been trained for many years, and he doesn't dare to drive people away, but who to ask now? Daiyu and they are still in the Lin family, Wang Xifeng and the old lady in the house, Wang Xifeng is still an old lady, the next person, report the old lady.

Ou Mengmeng didn't think of who it was at the time, she said that she was looking for the second wife, she hadn't come back to her senses for a long time, and it was easy to remember that Mrs. Wang, who had been locked up by her for four years, was found by her relatives, let me see it?

After a while, she still invited someone to come in first, she didn't want to take it big, so she changed her clothes and went to Rongqing Hall to sit. Thinking about whether to take a look at the situation, if there is something to say, let me sit down if I have nothing to say, and then send the Wang family to the house.

Soon a familiar old man and a tiger-like little boy were lured in, Ou Mengmeng and the old man glanced at each other, and both of them smiled.

But immediately, Grandma Liu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Ou Mengmeng. Speaking of which, Grandma Liu and Wang Xifeng are equals, and it is actually right to kowtow to the ancestors of their in-laws. Besides, the old lady is the Duchess of the Imperial Court, and Grandma Liu is a commoner, and she can't lose her kowtow in the face of the Duchess of the State. At this time, age really doesn't matter.

"Hurry up, old in-laws, don't stop here." Although Ou Mengmeng has been here for several years, her children and grandchildren kowtow to her, and she also counts, but Grandma Liu kowtows to her, although she also knows that it is not a loss to her, but she still feels a little embarrassed, and she is busy asking Amber to help her up.

sat down, thinking about the TV series, the first time I entered Jiafu, Ban'er wanted to eat, and thought, "Let's eat first, it's not easy for you to enter the city, I'm afraid that you won't have a good hot meal on the road."

"Old lady......" Grandma Liu hurriedly tried to stop it.

But Ou Mengmeng waved her hand: "Don't worry, I'm not leaving, I'll talk to you here." But what's wrong at home?"

Grandma Liu's old face also showed a trace of embarrassment, last year's year was not good, thanks to the old lady they went to the village to play, helped them work hard in the field, so that the whole village survived the difficulties, and because the capital is near, in fact, the counties, the government, but do not dare to overwork, their life is actually passable.

And Ban'er is also five years old, the Wang family was originally born as an official eunuch, and Wang Gou'er (Ban'er's father, Grandma Liu's son-in-law) also lived a good life for a few days when he was a child, but his father died early, and he was uneducated, so his life became like this. Now that I have a son, I have always wanted him to study and become a talent.

Especially last year, the old lady took people to the village, and those children were all out of the way, each with their own abilities, and they were so envious of the dogs that they wanted to let the board read

Book of determination.

But the problem is, after inquiring around, the average private school also takes twenty or one years. And the most famous school in the capital is the Jia family's clan study, which costs 500 taels of silver a year, and the Jia family's own children can be exempted from tuition.

Grandma Liu is open-minded, and she made up her mind for a long time, so the relationship between the Wang family and the Jia family is also in-laws, can you beg the second wife to let Ban'er go to school. Even if you sit in the corner, it's better to go to a private school for the past 221 years. It's mainly a private school for twenty-two and one years, and they can't afford to go to it.

No, I found it. But when she saw the old lady, Grandma Liu's mouth couldn't open. The old lady had already helped them before, and now she asked for five hundred taels a year, and she really couldn't open her mouth.

Ou Mengmeng was not in a hurry, Amber asked people to come over for a guest meal, and let Grandma Liu and Ban'er eat. Ban'er ate happily, but Grandma Liu seemed a little unate.

Ou Mengmeng thought about it, it seems that this time they are not here for money.

Waiting for them to finish eating, let Amber take the board to Jia Ruo to play, she took Grandma Liu to her own green onion jar, pulled out the green onions one by one, carefully patted the mud, put it in the basin on the side, and then turned the soil deeply, let the sun dry, dry for two days, the mud in the soil will be eliminated back to poison, and when you plant again, the green onions can grow better.

"These roots can grow longer." Grandma Liu is an old man, and when she saw that the old lady was uprooted, she was a little puzzled, like onions and leeks, they can grow again, and they can grow again after cutting a stubble. It does not affect the taste of green onions.

"I know, but I'm fine, so I'd rather plant something new every time." Ou Mengmeng smiled and sat down by the well to wash it one by one, the tender and raw green onions, just so cute in the pot, seeing Grandma Liu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, I didn't expect that she would be moved by the pot of green onions.

"What the old lady thinks about planting green onions?" Grandma Liu didn't expect that such a precious person as the old lady would grow onions by herself. But I felt stupid again, the old lady was in the village last time, and she also clearly showed that she was not the kind of woman who did not touch the spring water with her fingers. She went back to the mansion and planted some green onions to play, and there was nothing surprising about her. The two started talking about the onions, but the more they talked, the more they agreed.

"But what happened? It's not the first time I've seen you, your old reputation in the village is excellent, if there is anything, the Jia family can help, and they will definitely do their best to help." Ou Mengmeng saw that she was almost talking, and then said softly.
