Chapter 507 After the Double Ninth Festival, He Zijin and A Nian lived in a world of two.
Although their children would come to visit from time to time, the feeling of living as two people was not very good.
In particular, Ah Nian said something like this, "Otherwise, people would say that children are a burden.
Just this peppercorn chicken, Ah Ye and Axi can't eat peppercorns.
I haven't eaten it to my heart's content in years."
He Zijin first gave him a pair of chopsticks and said with a smile, "When the children were young, they loved to taste everything on the table, but they couldn't bear to take a bite, so they did less."
"Their tastes, this one doesn't eat sesame, and the other doesn't eat sour, we can still eat at the same table."
A Nian doesn't mind at all that the children are not around, and it doesn't matter how far away they are.
Anyway, they are separated every now and then.
Will come.
Ah Nian found that it was good to meet him once in a while.
The eldest son took care of the chores in the imperial capital.
On weekdays, Sister Zijin only had to consider him.
They got up at dawn and took a walk on the nearby roads with morning dew.
When they heard that there was good scenery somewhere, they went to enjoy the scenery together.
A Nian went to Wen Dao Hall to give lectures to the students on weekdays, while Zijin's sister chatted with the female relatives of the nearby husband's family.
He Zijin had this advantage.
She was born in a poor family and gradually became wealthy.
Therefore, she got along well with the female relatives of officials and teachers.
The key is to be down-to-earth, and she talks about life in a clear and logical way.
Even if someone asks about her family, she has nothing bad to say and says, "Our master is just too upright.
You don't know, he is the kind of person who meets someone on the road."
It’s easy to offend people with such a temper.
I would say that teaching is the most peaceful thing, no matter how you are not an official.”
When women are together, they only have three things to do: housework, husbands, and children.
The Jiang family has a simple population, and the children in the family are also very capable.
He Zijin is nothing more than mediocre in needlework, but she works quickly.
She also said that she has a nose and eyes, "When I was a child, I had three brothers in my family, and I was the only girl.
When I was a little older, I followed my ancestors.
My mother and my mother were doing needlework, and my brothers grew up very fast.
At that time, I felt that if I made a piece of clothing today, I wouldn't be able to wear it tomorrow.
When I saw Tian'er making clothes, I was able to practice this speed.
"Heaven and Earth.
Conscience, at that time, except A-Nian, whose beauty standard has been Zijin’s since childhood, A-lie and the others were more willing to wear clothes made by the third girl, okay?
Then, He Zijin often showed a very down-to-earth way of doing housework, saying, "Now it's time to make sauerkraut, dry radish, and pickle radish.
Sister-in-law, when do you pickle it?"
Then, after talking and talking, she started her diplomacy with radish and cabbage.
This was grown on the twin farm for several acres.
It was considered a local product of her own.
It was not expensive and was used for daily consumption.
Why?
Zijin took advantage of the situation and sent a car to each family.
He Zijin was so easy to socialize with.
Mrs.
Xu Shanchang, who presided over the Wen Dao Hall, said to Xu Shanchang, "Earlier, you said you wanted me to have a good time with Mrs.

Jiang.
I thought Mrs.
Jiang was delicate and difficult to socialize with.
It turns out that she was.
Such a kind person has no airs of an official wife at all."
Xu Shan said, "That's good."
Mrs.
Xu also asked, "Mr.
Jiang, no, does Mr.
Jiang have a good temper?"
"It's okay, but the lectures could be better."
Xu Shan said, "Mr.
Jiang is also from Tanhua, so his foundation is naturally good.
It's just that he has been an official for many years and has been busy with common affairs, so he is loose in knowledge. ” Mrs.
Xu teased, "You've accomplished quite a lot."
Miss Xu said, "Aunt Jiang uses the method of pickling pickled cabbage from Beichang Prefecture.
I have only seen this method in books, and I don't know the specific method of pickling it.
Aunt Jiang mentioned that when her family pickled pickled cabbage, Let me go over and she will teach me.
Then we will also make a jar of Beichang Mansion's pickled vegetables and taste them."
Xu Shanchang smiled and said, "When you go to other people's homes, you have to be polite."
"I know, Dad.
I'm going with Sister Wu, and she also wants to learn from Aunt Jiang."
When Miss Xu went there, she brought a small jar of honey-soaked green plums as a gift, while Miss Wu brought two pieces of her own.
He Zijin accepted the embroidered handkerchief with a smile and taught the two girls how to pickle sauerkraut.
He Zijin is really good at pickling.
She understands this and loves to do these things.
He Zijin teaches and talks about the customs of Beichang Prefecture, saying, "In the imperial capital, it is rare for people to make pickled vegetables.
In Beichang Prefecture, We often eat it, especially in winter, when it snows, we cook a sauerkraut pot at home, which is warm and appetizing.
It’s so delicious.”
Miss Xu said, "I have read in a book that this pickled cabbage pot is extremely delicious whether served with fish, meatballs or sliced meat."
"Yes, when making pickled fish pot, the fish needs to be thick and fat, so that the fish fillets can be produced.
The fish should be bought alive.
When you buy it home, keep it in clean water for two days to remove the earthy smell and it will be easier to cook.
Fish pot.
Making meat pot is easy.
When I was in Beichang, it was very cold in autumn, so I often made a lot of meatballs in advance.
Take it out and hang it in a room without a fire, and it will freeze firmly.
When eating, just take it out and cook it.
As for sauerkraut, it is fresh and greasy.
You have to eat it alone.
I think it has a strong taste.
It's great for making side dishes."
He Zijin likes these two little girls.
They are both smart and clever girls at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
Miss Xu is the youngest daughter of Xu Shan, and Miss Wu is the eldest daughter of Mrs.

Wu in Wen Daotang.
I heard from Anian that Master Wu was very knowledgeable, but his luck in the imperial examinations was poor and he failed in many tests, so he was a bit arrogant.
Miss Wu is extremely beautiful, while Miss Xu is more delicate and naive.
He Zijin is an elder with no airs.
He is always patient with little girls and can talk to them very well.
Mrs.
Xu said, "It's better that you have the patience, I'm constantly being harassed by our A-Yao."
He Zijin said with a smile, "I have many sons in my family, but I only have one daughter.
I like girls who are well-behaved and considerate.
In this world, to outsiders, if you don't have a son, it will seem like you will have nothing to rely on when you get old.
But when it comes to being considerate, , it’s better to be a daughter.”
Mrs.
Wu is a very demure woman.
She has a hosta on her head, and her clothes are just ordinary, but her temperament is excellent.
You can tell at a glance that she is from everyone.
According to the gossip in Daotang, Mrs.
Wu's natal family is now also an official family.
Mrs.
Wu was originally married to Mrs.
Wu because Mrs.
Wu had a reputation in the village for her talents, and she felt that Mrs.
Wu would be a prominent figure in the future.
As a result, Mrs.
Wu had been unemployed for many years, and her family fortune gradually withered.
Because of her unique temperament, her relationship with the Yue family was average.
Xu Shanchang was an old friend of him.
He knew that he was also unemployed in his hometown, so he invited him to come to Wen Dao Hall to give lectures and earn a living as a cultivator.
Mrs.
Wu agreed with He Zijin's words and said with a smile, "That's the reason.
I gave birth to Ah Jing in my first child.
To tell you the truth, I was young at the time and gave birth to a daughter.
I was not happy at all.
I felt like I had no idea.
One child will give our master a son, but this life is too easy. , I know that my daughter is really good, and she can really help me in everything.
This is my first son, and I have to do all the work at home.
"Mrs.
Wu's family has one daughter and two sons.
One is eleven years old and the other is ten years old, which is the age when they are naughty.
Speaking of their respective daughters, the Xu and Wu families were on good terms, so Mrs.
Xu inquired about Wu Jing's hairpin ceremony and asked Mrs.
Wu how she planned to live.
Mrs.
Wu said, "If you were in your hometown, you would have to invite clansmen within five servers over to have a drink at home.
Now here, I have discussed with the master and invite several people from nearby us to come and have fun at home."
She personally talked to He Zi Jin said, "Sister Jiang, come here too.

Don't be heretical."
He Zijin smiled and said, "I'll go there even if you don't invite me."
He then asked Mrs.
Wu how she planned to set up a banquet, but if she needed help, her maids and cooks had some, so she could borrow a few.
Because the haircut ceremony is the most important day for a girl, as long as the family is decent, they will make a big deal for their children.
The Wu family seems to be a family that loves their daughter.
He Zijin also has a daughter, so he naturally knows.
Mrs.
Wu said, "It's still a month before Ah Jing's hairpin ceremony.
I've already made some plans in my mind.
Once they're finalized, I'll have to trouble you."
This is not the time to be polite.
Mrs.
Xu, He Zijin all agreed with a smile.
He Zijin felt that being in Wen Daotang was a completely different world, as if he had returned to the old days in his hometown, where every day he was like the neighbor's parents, simple and natural.
Ah Nian is the same.
He doesn't have to go to the Yamen to order anything every day.
He spends all day with a group of students.
Although there are some frustrated students, they are still somewhat ambitious if they can come to Wen Dao Hall to try again.
A-Nian looks at them and feels a little more free and easy.
In his spare time, he can invite his wife from school to go fishing and hiking.
At this time, A-Nian will suggest a family trip, that is, everyone brings their wives and children.
Ah Ye said to his wife in private, "I have seen a lot of people who have been dismissed from office.
Many people don't say anything about it, but in fact, it feels uncomfortable to be dismissed from office.
My father is the same, so when our father said that he wanted to go back to his hometown, I felt that That’s fine, After leaving the imperial capital, maybe our father can take things a step further and relieve his depression.
Now that we don't have to go back to our hometown, our father looks better in Wen Daotang than when he was an official.
"As the eldest son, Aye is born with a natural talent.
More sense of responsibility.
"Mom, it's not like that.
When we go next time, we have to send someone to deliver a message to my parents in advance.
Otherwise, it's easy for my parents to miss the trip."
Su Bing said it was intuitive and interesting, and she also said it to her grandmother when she returned to her parents' home.
"I have never seen a more loving couple than my father-in-law and mother-in-law.
They are still holding hands when they go out for a walk."
Mrs.
Su told her husband as a funny story.
The next day, Su Buyu went out, and Mrs.
Su sent him to the second door as usual.
Su Buyu suddenly reached out to Mrs.
Su, and Mrs.
Su was a little confused.
Su Buyu coughed lightly, "Hand."
The old wife said specifically yesterday, she must also want to hold hands with him.
Mrs.
Su slapped her husband's hand away and said angrily, "Hurry up, stop complaining."

There was a maid beside him.
Su Buyu picked up his old wife's hand and put it in his palm, teasing her, "Others always become thicker-skinned as they live longer.
Why are you doing the opposite?"
Mrs.
Su was a little embarrassed.
Seeing that the maids were laughing, she quickly said, "Old man, how can you be so frivolous at your age?
Your grandchildren are coming over."
"Come here, come here."
Su Buyu decided to hold hands with his old wife from now on.
When Su Bing learned about this, he found it very interesting.
When he told his mother-in-law, He Zijin burst into laughter and said, "I didn't know that Mr.
Su's family is so funny."
Su Bing said, "I heard from my father that when he was young, my grandfather was very doting on his children.
Everything at home was always done by my grandfather and his grandmother.
Sometimes when my grandmother thinks about it, she gets very angry and says that my grandfather knows how to do it.
Good old man.”
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Su Bing asked about the lunch meal so that the kitchen could prepare it in advance.
He Zijin said, "It's just the two of us at noon.
To save trouble, just do something simple."
Su Bing said, "Why don't my father, husband, second brother and third brother come back?"
He Zijin said, "Ah Ye and the others are going back to Mr.
Xu Shan's place for the first time.
Mr.
Xu is a warm-hearted person and must welcome guests.
There is also Master Wu, who is the best at wine.
Today they are bringing good wine.
Master Wu will be there soon."
You have to go there, it will be lively."
Sure enough, He Zijin's words were true.
Immediately, some servants from the Xu family came over and said that they were all staying at the Xu family for dinner.
Their wife invited He Zijin's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to come and have dinner with them.
He Zijin smiled and said, "I must have expected it."
He asked the maid to take the two big carps that she kept at home and took her daughter-in-law to Xu's house.
Wen Daotang is a gathering place for students.
The masters of Wen Daotang are not comparable to the officials of the Guozi Festival, but they are all famous people in the field.
Anian has become familiar with them, so he will naturally take his sons to talk with them.
Poetry and composition increase knowledge.
Ah Ye is older, he is very measured in getting along with his elders, and his attitude is just right.
In particular, Ah Ye is very good at academics.
Master Wu said, "How can a nephew with such a talent fail in college?"
Ah Ye said, "Maybe it's because of the style of writing that the examiners don't like."
Master Wu waved his hand and said, "I'm just saying this.
I myself have been failing for decades.
Speaking of which, I can put my own knowledge to use.
If you ask me, the examiners are all blind."

Ah Nian said, "Brother Wu, you are too knowledgeable, but Ah Ye is a little too knowledgeable."
Xu Shan said, "A-Nian's words really resonate with me."
It's not surprising that the men talk about imperial examination literature.
What's strange is that the twins have always had springs in their butts.
Why are they sitting so straight today, looking like they are listening attentively?
He Zijin was very pleased that the twins had grown up and were so stable when going out.
Of course, it would have been better if they hadn't met the two girls Wu and Xu all at once, and then said "Sister Xu, Sister Wu".
It doesn't matter if you call me sister.
The twins are indeed slightly younger in age.
But, twins, why are the tips of your ears so red?
The author has something to say: s: The second update is two updates today.
Everyone, go to bed early.
Good night, the farming article is just a short one.
Everyone, take a rest.
The storm will continue in the next chapter. gd1806102:
