Rebirth of the ruffian Tailai of the 1970s

171-180

Chapter 171 

The farmhouse's breakfast is very simple and the ingredients are limited. Ji Ranjia posted a pot of cornmeal pancakes, boiled wild vegetable lump soup, rubbed a layer of muddy oil in the pot, fried chili pickles, and sprinkled a layer of finely chopped peanuts.

When she brought out the food, Gu Sifan had already packed the dishes and bowls into several baskets, and they would return them to each family later.

After the Gu family got up and washed it, the food was already warm.

Ji Ranjia went back to the room with the meeting ceremony she had prepared and went to the main room. Gu Fu was a medium and thin old man with gray hair and a cigarette on his waist. He straightened his back with a solemn face. Sit up. Gu Mu was wearing a half-old dark red blouse, her hair was meticulously combed, and she wore a brushed forehead. She elongated her face and lowered her eyelids. She didn't know whether she was not resting or was not satisfied with the marriage.

The old couple with their two babies sat on the bottom left, and the old three couples sat on the right with their four-year-old baby. Gu Erxi probably went back after helping out last night, but their husband and wife and children didn't stay.

Everyone was joking and laughing, but when they saw Ji Ranjia and Gu Sifan coming together, they couldn't help but pursed their lips slightly, as if they were in a court hearing.

Ji Ranjia and Gu Sifan knelt in front of the ancient father and the ancient mother and respectfully offered tea. The two old people didn't make a sound, and they really planned to make them kneel for a while longer. Gu Sifan coughed lightly, and said to Ji Ranjia: "Father and mother are old, and their hands and feet are inconvenient, we can just put the tea on the table, otherwise it won't be good for anyone if you hit a cup or spill water later. ."

Ji Ranjia obediently stood up with him and quickly put the cup on the table.

Gu Fu's eyes widened and his hands were about to raise his arms to show his power. Everyone's eyes lit up, and the corners of their lips rose to show that they were watching the fun.

"Daughter-in-law, my family gave me out to become the Xie Yuan family that is envied by every mile and eight townships. Everyone in our family understands etiquette. My father and mother taught me how to be a person since I was a child, otherwise I would be good at studying. If it's broken, then it's impossible to have today's achievements." Gu Sifan said with a chuckle, then turned to ask the ancient father and the ancient mother: "Dad and mother, do you think so? Today, the son has a daughter-in-law and becomes a small family. It's a matter of heart."

Before the fire of the ancient father was released, he smoothed it out, squinted and nodded deeply, "That is, although the ancestors of our ancient family were all mud legs that were shaving in the ground, everyone sat upright. You are doing well, there has never been a generation of domineering and arrogant people. Your ancestors have accumulated all the virtues on the fourth, and you can't forget your father and mother and your brothers when you develop in the future."

Gu Sifan said with a frown. With a hint of helplessness, she replied, "My son knows."

Ji Ranjia gave the shoes she was going to give to the ancient father and the ancient mother, and got two thin red envelopes. She smiled and gave a pair to each of the children of the ancient brothers. Small delicate silver peanuts strung with red string.

The masters in the palace like to reward people with golden melon seeds and silver peanuts. She likes this kind of thing very much, and has accumulated a lot of gold and silver ingots that she is not willing to exchange for whole pieces.

The size of the peanuts is also very particular. She chooses the smallest one, and sending four out is only half a tael of silver.

"Yo, the fourth younger brother and sister are quite generous, but they are richer than the young lady of my family." Zhu Chunjiao covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed lightly. Those phoenix eyes looked at Ji Ranjia up and down, and her heart was very jealous. For some reason, she had to choose Gu Santai, the unpromising salesman. When she saw Gu Si, she regretted that her bowels were blue. ignore.

In fact, she has a sense of superiority. Although she is a concubine of a foreigner, she also has 20 acres of land for her dowry, which is rare in Shili Baxiang. In addition, her aunt also won a lot of good things for her. There are two shops in the town, one is for Gu Santai to open a grocery store, and the other is a liquor store business. Their family of three lives in the backyard. The output can have forty taels of silver a year!

Ordinary people expect three to five acres of farmland at home, and they can save three taels of silver a year.

With a few pennies to buy something to eat, she could coax her mother-in-law to praise her all over the village, and she lived a more comfortable life than in her parents' home. She's not ugly. Not only has she never been on the ground, she's never even approached the stove, but she's so delicate and tender that everyone sees her with envy, jealousy, and hatred?

Now she has become envious and jealous.

How could a village girl look more delicate and beautiful than her? It must have come out of an unclean place, otherwise it would have hooked my uncle's heart away.

"I was taken to the capital by my aunt since I was young. How can the children of our poor family enjoy happiness at home? So I went to the high officials to do some light work, which was rewarded by the masters. I am willing to use it and keep it as a gift for the children." Ji Ranjia chuckled and took it vaguely, after all, she knows a lot of things, and it is not something that ordinary people should learn, and there must be a source.

"Oh, so the younger brothers and sisters have seen high officials and officials' wives? They must have a lot of style. Are there a lot of people waiting for them when they go out?" Mamelan couldn't help but whispered, The biggest official she has ever seen is the yamen in the town with a knife, and the little official the size of a sesame can walk sideways. She really couldn't imagine what it was like for the high officials.

"Yes, officials and eunuchs have a lot of rules, and there are different numbers of maids, maids, wives, and servants around people of different identities," she replied softly with curved eyebrows.

Ji Ran Canon climbed to the position of the first-class girl next to the favorite concubine in the palace, and asked the prince to ask for a concubine, still having some communication skills. If she wants to make a good impression, it is not difficult for her to make a good impression. As long as she makes other people's jealous faces less aggressive through expressions, she will succeed for the most part.

"Oh, it turns out that the fourth younger siblings used to be servants, so how can they be worthy of our family's Xie Yuanlang? If someone found out, wouldn't they laugh at us?" Zhu Chunjiao screamed in shock.

After hearing this, Father Gu stood up immediately, without giving Gu Sifan a chance to speak, he said sternly: "Fourth old man, have you really been a slave? Our Gu family is not a high-stakes family, but it has also been from Xie Yuanlang. Our daughter-in-law must be a good daughter!

If you are, then hurry up and pack up and go back to your mother's house before anyone sees you. Otherwise, the fourth child's future will be delayed, and our Gu family will not spare you!"

"Father, you don't know that the marriages of the maids of the high-ranking officials are selected from the elites, and they are no worse than the young ladies of the small families. Moreover, such a woman knows a lot, which will help her husband rise step by step in the officialdom. Gu Sifan poured Gu Fu a cup of tea and smiled lightly: "My son will definitely not destroy his future."

Gu Fu glanced at him hesitantly, thinking that the same is true, his son is twenty-three years old, and the family members It's not that he didn't find a matchmaker for him to choose a marriage. He has always put his studies as the main shirk. Two months ago, he suddenly said that he was going to get married, which was unusual.

Gu Mu had no idea, she looked directly at her favorite third daughter-in-law, and asked in a soft, dripping voice, "Chunjiao, is what your uncle said right?"

Zhu Chunjiao is just a concubine from a family outside the city. , can read and count numbers, read two sour words, and face all the half-brothers and sisters in the house all day, dig pits and set up wells without ambiguity, and then go out with the mistress I have been to several flower fairs and temple fairs, and I have seen a few nobles from a distance.

How could she know what the high official's family looked like, but only knew that there was really a maid of the high official's family who was obsessed with the champion in the book. She glanced at Gu Sifan with a pale brow, afraid that she would shake her head and be regarded as an ignorant woman by him, so she nodded in response: "Uncle is right, but people are all raised by high officials as their children, and give Give a generous dowry, and provide the man with a lot of official help. I don't know if the fourth siblings are like this too?"

After Zhu Chunjiao thought about her words carefully, she felt that it was quite good, and she was of a high standard. His own ignorance, and he could step on the bride again, smiled and waited for a reply.

Who is Gu Sifan? That's a talented man with a long history by the emperor's side in the previous life. He has had a black belly since he was a child. After so many years of cultivation, he has achieved a positive result.

He just had to think about it, and as a cheap sister-in-law he was able to reach the level, he understood the source of her words, and he didn't need Ji Ranjia to speak, he directly pierced her words, "Second sister-in-law, you said It's Tang Zhonghu's book of bamboo incense, right? Those children of aristocratic families who have lost their way in the middle of the road can't make a living by surrendering their status. People who can write a book are definitely not rich, and they need to show off their skills to win the favor of the public. The level of knowledge is limited, but it was written through Taoist listening."

Zhu Chunjiao's face flushed, she hummed: "Then you say what is so rare about a girl from a high-ranking official family? Don't those who are high-ranking scholars take a fancy to the girl behind her? The power of the high officials and the generous dowry?"

"Second sister-in-law, the girl is a girl, how reliable is the relationship with the high official's family? How much convenience can they give to the masters and jinshi? You think a little too for granted, this is not considered marriage by marriage. , it is better to form an alliance in the officialdom, which is more reassuring. When you marry a jinshi, it is because the girls are nurtured by the master's side, and they have the demeanor of everyone. They also know how to manage the backyard. ' he said lightly.

Zhu Chunjiao was gasping for breath. When she didn't read a book and didn't understand, he pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, right? Obviously, Ji Ranjia is a thousand times better than her? She wants to see how a girl can live a small life with him, hehe, the master is looking at a monthly money of one or two silvers a month, if it is only to support the family, it is okay to say, but the uncle obviously wants to continue the examination. , which paper, ink, pen and inkstone are not precious things?

The two of them will still live in the town in the future, so who does not spend money on food and clothing? After giving birth to a child, it will be another bill, and after calculating it, a tael of silver will soon make them stretched.
