Chapter 149: Herb


Before Ah Nian and Ah Lie started school, Mrs.

Shi brought her son and daughter over to talk.

Her son Shi Feng was also admitted to the academy.

Like Ah Nian, he was in Class B.

After congratulating Mrs.

Shen first and then congratulating Lin'er, Mrs.

Shi praised A-Nian and said, "Such a young child is several years younger than my brother Feng, and he is so outstanding in reading."

This child has such an appearance.

Raw or not.

A Nianqian said, "My ranking in Class B is average, far behind Brother Afeng.

I just have better luck."

Shen said, "This exam really depends on your luck.

The grandson of the Seventh Aunt's family in our clan usually studies well.

But he just failed the exam.

I heard the child said that he was too nervous during the exam and had a cold all over his body.

I was in a cold sweat, I couldn’t even read the words on the exam paper clearly, and I cried when I finished the exam.”

Ah Lie smiled, "In terms of luck, I have the best luck.

I almost failed."

Mrs.

Shen smiled and said, "You still say that."

Mrs.

Shi smiled, "Even our masters say Ah Lie is very lucky.

Now we will go to school together.

I will bring Ah Feng here.

From now on, we will be classmates.

We know each other well and we must take care of each other in the future."

Shi Feng, A Nian and A Lie responded.

Shi Feng's temperament is not as talkative and laughing as his mother's.

He is a gentle boy.

He is two years older than He Zijin and is fourteen this year.

Mrs.

Shi chatted with Mrs.

Shen, Anian Alie invited Shi Feng to talk in the east chamber, and He Zijin invited Sister Fu to her room.

Seeing that she was heading to the backyard, Sister Fu smiled and said, "Sister has moved a house."

He Zijin nodded, "When I was a child, I lived in the wing room.

Now that I have a lot of things, I moved to my grandmother's house."

He Zijin occupied two rooms in He Lao Niang's place.

The main room where He Lao Niang lived was three square and two.

Yes, Mrs.

He lives in the main room on the east side, Grandma Yu lives in the east side room, and He Zijin lives in the main room on the west side and the west side room.

She turned the west wing into a small study room, and now she fell in love with knitting things with pampas grass.

This was also her making room.

The little girls only talk to each other about clothes, jewelry, and food.

Especially Sister Fu also likes to make snacks and preserves.

The two of them are close friends in this.

Therefore, talking about it is even more speculative.

The content of the adults' conversation was another matter.

Mrs.

Shen was asking Mrs.

Shi about buying a baby, "I had this idea last year.

My family is good enough, but now the children are getting older."

When I get older, I want to buy a few honest ones and slowly adjust them, so that the children will always need them in the future.

"When she got married, her parents' family conditions were very average.

To make up for the appearance, her parents bought her a little maid, Cui'er. .

Nowadays, life is getting better and better.

Let’s not talk about boys for now.

When girls get married, they must have a dowry girl.

As for the third girl, Mrs.

Shen also wants to buy her a little maid as a dowry.

The main reason is that the third girl is now a career person, and having a maid to serve her can help her focus on her career.

When Mrs.

Shen said this, Mrs.

Shi laughed, "That's the truth.

Whether it's a maid or a young boy, if you are not in a hurry, don't buy one that is too old, just one that is in its teens.

You can adjust it slowly and grow."

Great loyalty.

Zhang Yapo from our county is a real person.

I always buy from her.

Her people know their origins and I feel safe when I buy.

Otherwise, there are too many tricks in this business.

If you really buy something from a kidnapper, you won't be able to find out later.

If it turns out, there will be a lot of bad luck. " Mrs.

Shen smiled, "Thanks to my sister for pointing me out, otherwise I wouldn't have known what was going on here."

"What's the point?

You can find out just by asking others."

Mrs.

Shi smiled and told the anecdote, "Have you heard about the Zhao family?"

"I heard that the newly opened Bishui Building in our county is the capital of his family."

Shen said, "Didn't it mean that his family had a queen?"

"Yes, I don't know why his family has such a good fortune.

It is said that Miss Zhao is a fifth-grade talent in the palace.

Our county prince is only a seventh-grade official."

Mrs.

Shi was full of envy, "You say Tell me, why is this girl so rich and lucky?"

Mrs.

Shen echoed, "Perhaps this is the fate of others, and it should be in accordance with the fate of the empress."

"Yes, maybe the Zhao family's ancestral grave was well buried, or else it would have been covered in smoke."

Mrs.

Shi said.

Shen smiled, "Well, this kind of thing is in the eye of the beholder and the wise have wisdom.

Once you enter the palace, if nothing else, your father and mother will not be able to see each other in the future.

We all have daughters.

Let me tell you, the mother-in-law , No matter how rich you are, you still can’t bear it.”

Mrs.

Shi didn't know this, so she asked Mr.

Shen, "Is it possible that my mother-in-law and I are not allowed to visit after entering the palace?"

Shen had already been popularized about the harem by He Zijin, and now it was time to share it with Mrs.

Shi.

Shen said, "I heard from Zijin that in addition to the queen, there are four concubines in the harem, namely, the noble concubine, the moral concubine, and the virtuous concubine.

The four concubines, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Xian, are all of the first rank.

Then there are the nine concubines: Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Xiuyuan, and so on.

There are nine of them, namely Chongyi, Chongrong and Chongyuan, who are of the second rank.

There are nine beauties, who are the fourth rank.

There are nine talented people, who are the fifth rank.

There are twenty-seven imperial ladies of the seventh rank and twenty-seven of the noble ladies.

Mrs.

Shi clicked her tongue, "My dear, it turns out that the emperor has so many ladies."

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Cairen is not that outstanding.

There are dozens of ladies above her who are older than her.

"Yes."

Mrs.

Shen said, "Not to mention entering the palace to see my daughter.

I heard that only high-ranking ladies can summon their families.

There are more rules when entering the palace."

Mrs.

Shi marveled for a moment and then said, "Zijin is indeed a child who has studied in school.

He knows a lot and is very knowledgeable."

"She just learned it from a female teacher in the past."

Speaking of which, Mrs.

Shen was really grateful for the two years that her daughter was able to study at the Chen family.

After Mrs.

Shi left the He family, the more she thought about it, the more she realized that He Zijin was being aggressive and planned to ask her son to bring some rice dumplings for a walk during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Of course, now that the two children are young, the son must also concentrate on his studies and not be distracted.

Mrs.

Shi’s idea is to let the younger children get familiar with each other first, and then bring up this matter when they feel comfortable with each other.

Better.

Mrs.

Shen didn't know that Mrs.

Shi had taken a fancy to her daughter.

She was thinking about buying a little maid, so naturally she had to discuss it with Mrs.

He first.

The reason was that the child was old and there should be someone close to her to take care of her.

Madam He felt sorry for the money and said, "There's no rush now, the family has enough people."

Shen smiled, "I thought, the older ones are more expensive, so why not buy two little maids first, the ones in their teens, one is cheap, and the other can be taken by their sisters to learn from.

After getting along with each other for a long time, the relationship between master and servant becomes deeper. " Mother He was in a dilemma, so she told Mrs.

Shen, "Seeing that Ah Nian and Ah Lie are about to go to school, the tuition fee will be thirty taels.

The children will go to school, and they must also prepare books and ink.

The children will be here again."

I asked Mr.

Fu to buy a few acres of land.

I have fifty taels here, which will cover all the household expenses until the summer harvest."

Shen smiled, "Don't worry, mother, I will arrange the purchase."

Mrs.

He didn't say anything more and said, "Then you pay this amount first, and I will give you the money after the summer harvest."

Mrs.

Shen smiled, "It's all for the family, let me pay for it.

But when I buy someone, I have to ask my mother to help me."

He Lao Niang smiled and said, "I am becoming a daughter-in-law.

I am becoming more and more lovable."

Because there were many things going on during the Dragon Boat Festival, the Shen family postponed the matter of buying people.

However, the Feng family sent another clan member to Bishui County, and by chance, they bought the house next door to the He family.

This house has been empty since He Han's family moved away.

Since He Han ran away from home, I heard that He Nian's business with the army has also been discontinued and he has returned to the small business of a grocery store.

I didn't know that his family was going to sell the house.

Ms.

Shen said, "If he knew his family was going to sell their house, our family would have bought it no matter what."

Although she hadn't given birth to the baby yet, she still felt the same as when she was pregnant with He Lie.

If it was a son, After the two sons separate, the house and other things should be prepared in advance.

It has to be said that Mr.

Shen's plan is really far-sighted.

Mrs.

He smiled, "There's no rush, there are plenty of good houses."

Ever since Mr.

Shen said that the money to buy the maid would come from her private house, Ms.

He has become more and more fond of Mrs.

Shen.

"That's right."

Ms.

Shen smiled, she just said that, the Feng family is her in-laws, they live close together, so it is easy to travel.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were sitting on the porch talking, while Grandma Yu, He Zijin and Cuier were sitting in the shade under the melon stand, making rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival.

The He family's rice dumplings are simple, equally salty and sweet, the same sauce meat rice dumplings, and the same red date rice dumplings.

After it was wrapped, relatives wanted to give it away, so I mixed two large basins of fillings.

The summer wind blows slowly, and the leaves of the melons and vines rustle.

He Zijin likes his current life.

Even if he is not rich, he is still a small landowner with a house and land.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, you can make rice dumplings with your family by hand instead of rushing to the supermarket to buy a few frozen rice dumplings to suit the occasion.

First, we packed up the gifts and divided them into portions.

Anian and Lie were sent on errands.

It was a long way to Yunguan, so it was Xiaofuzi who had to make the trip.

Mr.

Xue, Xue Qianzhen, Aunt Li, and Sister Fu each have two small jars of rose jam at Chaoyunguan.

Mrs.

He was greedy when she looked at the rice dumplings, so she asked Mrs.

Zhou to cook two of them first.

Mrs.

Zhou was now more particular and knew that sweet and salty rice dumplings should be cooked in two pots.

Mrs.

He likes to eat sweets as well as meat.

She ate a rice dumpling with soy sauce and red dates.

She couldn’t help but boasted, “Our family’s rice dumplings with soy sauce and red dates are the best in Bishui County.

When I eat these rice dumplings, I can’t help but boast.”

The ones sold at the market taste pretty good.

"My daughter-in-law owns a pickle shop and pickles the meat herself.

The jujube trees at home are over a hundred years old, and the dates they produce are famous for their sweetness.

The rice dumplings were small, so Shen also tasted one and smiled, "It tastes good to me."

Mrs.

He peeled off another rice dumpling with sauce and meat and said, "It's just that the rice dumpling is too small."

She said to He Zijin, "It must have been your idea.

Make it bigger and it will be more economical."

He Zijin said, "It's so hard to make those silly big rice dumplings.

You have to stuff them to eat one.

If you make them smaller, it doesn't hurt to eat two more.

They will still be cooked when cooked."

While they were talking, Shi Feng came over to deliver rice dumplings, and Mrs.

He greeted with a smile, "You also want to try the rice dumplings made at home, they are freshly cooked."

Madam He was really enthusiastic.

Although young Shi Feng was the most face-conscious young man, he declined and ate two of them, praising the delicious taste.

Mrs.

Shen looked at Shi Feng and smiled, "I made it myself at home.

It's not as fancy as the ones sold outside.

Fortunately, the materials used are affordable.

Ah Nian and Ah Lie also went to your house.

Maybe you missed the way and didn't meet each other."

Say hello to Mrs.

Smith.

Shi Feng had already answered.

He would follow his father and brother to pay homage after the festival.

After saying a few words, he stood up and left.

He Lao Niang was a senior citizen, and Shen was not able to move easily due to her health, so Aunt Yu sent Shi Feng out.

Before the girls at home were settled, He Lao Niang paid special attention to the young men of similar age.

Shi Fengsi was gentle and his family life was good, so He Lao Niang liked him very much.

The He family had Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings from the Furong House sale sent by the Shi family for lunch.

Mrs.

Shen asked Cui'er to give four of them to the third girl.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

The main reason is that the things in Furong Building are expensive and exquisite.

If someone didn't give them to me, I would be reluctant to buy them.

The rice dumplings given by relatives and friends of the He family were naturally given in return, either fruits, snacks, or rice dumplings.

Therefore, in addition to the rice dumplings from Furong House, the He family also ate rice dumplings from Bishui House.

Anyway, they are all delicious.

In addition to eating rice dumplings, people also tie their lives on the Dragon Boat Festival and drink realgar wine.

Although there are no dragon boats in the county, there is also a lion drum troupe.

There was also a day off in the embroidery workshop.

The three girls, He Zijin and Anian Alie, had all dressed up and were ready to go shopping on the street.

He Lao Niang especially warned, "Watch Zijin, there are many people outside, be careful of kidnappers."

Especially He Zijin had the experience of being abducted before, but with such a lively incident, He Lao Niang was very worried.

But we have to ask the girls to go out, alas He Zijin said, "Grandma, don't worry.

I'm so old, how can I be abducted?"

Shen said, "Be careful and you won't make a big mistake."

Ah Nian said, "Grandma and aunt, just don't worry, I will definitely follow Sister Zijin closely."

The third girl also smiled, "Don't go to crowded places, just take a walk and come back."

He Gong said, "Little Fuzi, keep an eye on it."

If the children weren't older, they would no longer be able to worry about going out at such a busy time.

Xiao Fuzi responded quickly.

The group of people went out happily, but within half an hour, they all came back.

Mrs.

He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Ah Lie spoke quickly and said, "It was said outside that the Queen was dead, and the gongs and drums were not allowed to be played.

Even the market was dispersed.

The lion and drum troupes all ran away.

The streets were in chaos, so we came back."

The family members were shocked by the news.

Mrs.

He's eyes widened in shock.

Her expression "The Empress is dead" made those who didn't know think that she had some serious relationship with the Empress.

In fact, He Our ancestors had never even been a Jinshi, and they had no connection with any high-ranking officials.

She just wanted to express her surprise.

He Gong corrected her, "The queen can't say she's dead, she has to say she's dead."

He Lao Niang said, "It doesn't mean anything."

He Gong said, "Speaking of death is disrespectful."

He Lao Niang said, "Died, died."

She suddenly had a whimsical thought, "Tell me, when the Queen dies, will the Zhao family's Queen become the queen of Fuzheng?"

He Gong said, "Mom, this doesn't match up with anything at all.

This is a matter of the emperor's family and has nothing to do with us ordinary people.

If we are worried about it, it is also the concern of the Zhao family."

"That's true."

Mrs.

He clicked her lips and swallowed the news that the Queen was dead.

He Gong was a scholar and knew some etiquette.

He said, "I'll change into fresh clothes later.

Our small county is not very particular about it.

But since I know it, I'd better pay attention to it."

Things like observing the rules are mostly about rightness.

For those who have official titles, they are not allowed to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.

It seems that the officials are required to adhere to the same system.

Sure enough, soon there were government officials on the street reading an imperial edict announcing that no marriages, no drum music, and no festive events were allowed for one month.

Due to the death of the Empress, the entrance ceremony of Bishui Academy was held in a much low-key manner. gd1806102:
