3 Most favored
Qin Yu's eldest father, as a commoner, returned to Liyang with his wife and children, and seemed to be content in the fields, but in fact, it was not.
He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, he was a nobleman who enjoyed power and honor, and like his father and brothers, he was not willing to be inferior.
He didn't go to the battlefield himself, he hoped that his children and grandchildren would go to the battlefield. But it's a pity that he doesn't have a second son besides Qin Yu's father. Qin Yu's eldest mother is a famous family, and she is even more powerful, his back house is managed by her, except for herself, no woman can get close to him at all. What's more, because he took care of his father and was not close to women, so before he left Xianyang, he didn't even have a concubine by his side, let alone an heir. When he came to Liyang, he had a high vision, and he was used to seeing good women in Xianyang City, so he naturally looked down on women in the mountains and villages, so until he died, he had only one son, not even a daughter.
Qin Yu heard her nagging with her mother more than once, saying why did she give birth to so much? Sooner or later, you will go to the battlefield, and the white-haired people will send the black-haired people, which is painful!
Qin Yuchai said that the eldest mother had seen the tragedy of her great-grandfather's children and grandchildren in the old mansion in Xianyang, and she didn't want to have children herself, nor did she let other women give birth, so that she didn't have to feel the pain of losing her loved ones again and again.
However, Qin Yu's father, Qin Lu, still followed in the footsteps of his fathers after all.
Qin Lu was accustomed to seeing the sorrow on his father's face since he was a child, he listened to his mother's nagging over and over again, and there was an evil fire in his heart.
The Qin people had to serve one year of military service in their lifetime. The eldest father's military service was exempted by King Huiwen, but his father Qin Lu's military service King Qin did not say that it was exempted, and no one spoke up for Qin Lu, so the people below did not dare to exempt him, so he could only go to military service. But generally this military service, as long as it is completed before the age of sixty, Qin Lu took the initiative to serve in the military as soon as he turned twenty, and it can only be said that he really wants to go to the battlefield.
Qin Lu has already gone to the county to report his name, and the mother can't go back on his word to cancel him, otherwise, he will violate Qin's law.
Qin Lu could only go to the battlefield.
It seems that the time has come, Qin Lu has participated in more than a dozen battles of all sizes for more than ten years, not only did he not die, but he also got the title of military merit, not much, but it was like a ball of living water, and finally made this lifeless home ripple again.
The family's acres of land are increasing one by one, and the homestead is also expanding round by circle, and Qin's mother wants her son to go to the school to learn Qin Law. Although the Qin State has to fight against foreign countries almost every year, the families of the Qin army living in the hinterland of the Qin State are still very stable. Besides, Qin Lu is the only son in the family, so he doesn't have to go to the battlefield.
Aunt Qin wants her son to marry a daughter-in-law well, have three or two children, and spend the rest of his life in peace. But Qin Lu, who fought bloody and played glory, was unwilling, his daughter-in-law listened to the family, married, and gave birth to three children, two boys and one girl, enough to continue the bloodline, plus his father's secret support, he still went to the battlefield every year, and took a lot of rewards and honors back home, and left all other trivial matters at home to his mother and wife, and he just honed his martial arts to kill the enemy.
However, the glory was short-lived. Qin Lu was unfortunately hit by a stray arrow in a war against South Korea, although he had received the title of no change, but in the end he could not be saved, saying that he died of fever and burning, and the body was not brought back, so he was buried on the spot. The county magistrate personally came to the door and brought the Qin family the rewards given by the state—as the title was elevated, the field house and silk coins were rewarded—as well as the armor that Qin Lu had been wearing, as the last memorial of their relatives. Qin Yu guessed that his father should have died of inflammation of the wound and couldn't hold on, so he died.
Qin Lu died in battle, and Qin's father, who lost his only son, also went a few days later. After all, like his father, he couldn't bear the pain of losing his only son, and cried to death.
Qin Yu's eldest mother persevered, and she had to cheer up, because at that time, Qin Yu's mother was pregnant with Qin Yu and was about to give birth. Qin Yu's eldest mother was so busy taking care of her daughter-in-law and her young grandchildren that she couldn't spare the time and energy to grieve the death of her only son.
After Qin Yu was born, the two women who lost their sons and husbands had no time to grieve, because Qin Yu was born prematurely and her body was extremely weak.
Qin Yu's eldest mother knew that this was because her daughter-in-law heard that her husband had died in battle, and her mood fluctuated too much, which hurt herself and caused the child to be born prematurely.
According to the eldest mother's recollection, after Qin Yu was born, he stopped breathing for a while, but whenever they felt that he couldn't survive, he could stubbornly struggle and survive again.
For this troubled grandson, the eldest mother of the Qin family likes it very much, and she feels that this is her son who has come back to life. Therefore, even though Yingyu is almost three years old and still babbling and can't speak, she doesn't dislike him, and still regards him as her dearest good grandson.
When Qin Yu opened his mind, not only could he speak, but he could also learn Qin characters quickly and intelligently, and the eldest mother of the Qin family would like him even more.
Relying on the favor of the elders in the family, Qin Yu is still quite able to toss.
What was the most unbearable thing about clothing, food, housing and transportation in the pre-Qin period?
That, of course, is "food".
In Qin Yu's eyes, food comes first. Although it was sad to wear sackcloth and live in a mud house, because his family was rich, these were all bearable, and only food was a limitation that could not be changed no matter how rich he was.
In this era, food is an important strategic material that determines the survival of a country.
Therefore, food, first of all, can be eaten, and then the other can be pursued. The pursuit of whether the food is delicious or not is a matter for the nobles and gentlemen, and has nothing to do with the Qianshou.
Of course, for Qin Yu, this "food" is more aristocratic and more pursuing, and it is even more desirable for those Qiantou who are digging in the field.
Qin Yu himself felt that he was wronged, didn't he just improve the form of the food? Wouldn't it be nice to change the shape of food to make it easier for the body to absorb? How did it become "poor!" Extravagant! Pole! Desire! "Oops! Tread on! Grain! Food! "Got it?
Yes, in order to be able to eat fine wheat flour, he and his family went to the capital to find the Mo family to build a large stone mill, and spent two gold cakes in the family, but later, the whole family even the master and the slave ate grain without a husk, and the family never burned raw rice again, isn't this a good thing? Aren't these two golden cakes worth it?
Yes, in order to be able to eat steamed bread, he deliberately put the kneaded dough in a warm and humid place and waited for him to ferment naturally, but the stinky and long plaque of the dough was not something he could control, let alone his will. Didn't he just experiment one, two, three... Two and a half months? It didn't take more than three months, that is, dozens of times, dozens of times to successfully ferment, make the first steamed bun in the pre-Qin period, and successfully master the dough fermentation technology, this is a pioneering feat, shouldn't he be encouraged? As for muttering before eating hot white and soft steamed buns: "This is a soft cake made by spending a whole ten urns of fine wheat flour, I'm afraid that gentlemen can't eat such soft cakes......"?
Take a shortcut to the Qin fish passing by: ......
Thank you, if you like it, if only I kneaded ten urns of dough to make it!
Also, he seals the goat's milk in a jar and lets it ferment itself into yogurt, isn't that okay? Although more than a dozen urns have been wasted without yielding results, with the experience of steamed buns in front of them, can't they believe him once and create another miracle?
However, in addition to the eldest mother who doted on him unconditionally, even his mother Zhusang also showed a look of disapproval.
During that time, Qin Yu was a little unhappy.
There was so much goat's milk at home that he couldn't drink it all, so he couldn't ...... I really can't! Although goat milk is liquid, as long as it can be eaten, it is food, and it cannot be wasted.
Qin Yu still heard about how much Qin Law was.
As for why they have excess goat milk for him to squander at home, it is another story, and it has to start from the fact that he was born not long ago and could not eat.
