Through the rebirth of the husband and wife Qingxi

It was only the next day that Yu Qingxi found out why Ren Sangyu wanted to buy that jar of spinach.The well-cooked rice porridge, or the mellow wheat-scented steamed buns, served with shredded watercress, no one disapproves.Everyone's appetite was somewhat affected by the fatigue of the journey, and their food intake was declining. With this spinach, they ate a little more.

In the morning, I went to another town. The most famous food in that town was yellow bone fish.Ren Sangyu provided water spinach and asked the restaurant to make water spinach yellow-bone fish soup, shredded water spinach soaked in rich and mellow pork bone soup, and delicious yellow-bone fish, which makes people want to stop.Even the owner of the restaurant followed the sour smell and asked Ren Sangyu where he bought the spinach.

Yu Qingxi used to cook and eat for Ren Sangyu at home, but seeing him eat more now doesn't stop him from eating. It doesn't matter if he grows some meat next year, he has the right to keep out the cold.

So hurried and slow, finally arrived at Yuqi Town, Yuchai County.Ren Zhichu is the eldest son of the director of Ren's family, and he is the highest climber in Ren's family, but when it comes to his family, he has no official authority at all.The Ren family was an official not only at the beginning of their tenure, officials big and small gathered together and did not take the official position seriously. They only respected one, the head of the Ren family.

The Patriarch of the Ren family knew that they were going home that day, so he waited in the front hall after lunch, with the elders of the Ren family sitting beside him.The oldest uncle had a big white beard, and his hands on his knees were trembling uncontrollably.But the youngest uncle looked younger than Ren Chuchu, and his expressionless face showed that he was an elder.Ren Sangyu walked in and took a glance, and he saw everyone's reaction in his eyes.

Ren Zhichu led his family members to greet the Patriarch, Ren Fan was beside him, only the descendants stood in a row behind him, and the concubines were not even qualified to greet the Patriarch, so they stood on the periphery.Ren Changyu led the row behind Ren Zhichu, Ren Xingyu and Ren Sangyu followed, and his wife stood beside them.

Not all the concubines who stood on the periphery came out, only those who were favored could follow the family, and the rest stayed in the Renfu in Kyoto.Ren Sangyu was not familiar with the Ren family, so he could only observe and weigh.After the beginning of tenure, Ren Changyu led the eldest family's direct line to salute the head of the family.Hearing their titles, Ren Sangyu paused for a while. It stands to reason that the Patriarch of the Ren family is Ren Zhichu's father and Ren Changyu's grandfather, but they all called "Patriarch" like outsiders.He lowered his eyes and didn't want to, and followed suit.

After seeing the ceremony, Ren Da said a few very polite words of encouragement and expectation.At the beginning of his tenure, he led his family members to salute the uncles on both sides, and then saluted with the uncles.These elders were also like Ren Da, and said some polite words.

After all the greetings, Ren Fan led the daughters-in-law to retreat according to the rules. He Jingyan couldn't stand standing for so long, and Chen Shiwei had already supported her.The concubine and the relatives of the same generation standing outside saw someone pushing out, so they also went to the back of the hall.

"The third young lady Ren stays here," the Patriarch said.

Yu Qingxi paused for a moment, glanced at Ren Fan, got a nod and returned to Ren Sangyu.

Not long after, the crowded front hall suddenly emptied.Ren Zhichu led his three sons-in-law and a man and his wife to sit down at the bottom, and the servants came up to set tea and then retreated.

"After Sang Yu got married to a male wife, she seems to be in good health." Ren Da said, "Come here and show grandpa."

When Ren Sangyu heard the word "grandfather", he thought to himself, is this a change of routine?He got up, walked forward with Yu Qingxi, and saluted respectfully.The servant brought out the tea again in a timely manner. Ren Sangyu knew that this was a serious tea offering, so he took the tea and handed it to Ren Da, and Yu Qingxi followed suit.

Ren Da looked at the two of them carefully, and said, "It's really good, let's go to the family tree tomorrow."

This has passed the level of the Patriarch of the Ren family, and Ren Zhichu looked at the two of them with a faint smile.

"Thank you, grandfather!" The two of them bowed again, without thinking carefully whether they were addressing Ren Sangyu's body or Yu Qingxi's people.

Ren Da sent a red envelope alone, and Ren Sangyu and Yu Qingxi thanked him.After passing Ren Da's eyes, all the elders also received tea offerings from the two of them one after another. Like Ren Da, they all gave red envelopes.

"Okay, let's sit down after serving tea." Ren Da said, "Although you are in good health, you should pay more attention on weekdays."

"Yes, thank you grandfather for your love." Ren Sangyu said.

"Our Ren family is all civil servants, but we still have to exercise every day." Ren Da said, "Sang Yuming got up early to practice boxing like everyone else, so don't sleep through." After finishing speaking, he also watched Glancing at Yu Qingxi, he wanted him to practice with him, but thinking about his status as a husband and wife, he added, "If it's convenient for Qingxi, come here with Sang Yu."

"Yes." Yu Qingxi's thoughts turned around on the word "convenience", and she couldn't help being slightly embarrassed. Grandpa really took care of him!

Afterwards, everyone chatted about the affairs of the Ren family, and chatted for a while about the affairs of the current court, before they dispersed.When Ren Sangyu and Yu Qingxi came out, they found Chunhua waiting outside.

"Sang Yu, your yard is still the same. It was cleaned a few days ago, and the bedding was turned over to dry." When Ren Da passed by Ren Sangyu, he paused and said to them.

"Father, worry about it!" Ren Zhichu, who was beside Ren Sangyu, said without hesitation.

"Thank you, grandfather!" Ren Sangyu and Yu Qingxi said hastily.

Ren Da glanced over Ren Changyu and Ren Xingyu again, and told them to bring the little doll to play, before leaving.

After passing the front hall, everyone went back to their own yards.Ren Sangyu didn't know where her house was, and neither did Yu Qingxi. Fortunately, Chunhua led them there.

All the way from the front hall to her own yard, Ren Sangyu was shocked.The Ren family has a large population, but it is not a wealthy family. The house is a yard of five people, and the five generations live together in a full house.Along the way, Ren Sangyu could see that married couples shared a yard with their brothers and wives. Changyu and Xingyu shared a yard. Changyu lived in the east room and Xingyu lived in the west room. The whole yard is not as big as their own yard in Kyoto.But he, Ren Sangyu, occupied a yard alone, a main house with two side rooms, a small kitchen on the east side, and a sundry place on the west side.The yard is small, but it is for private use.

"Don't be so busy, the house is clean, so you don't need to tidy up. You're tired on the road, so let's take a rest first." Ren Sangyu said to Chunhua Chunyu.

"Yes." They answered, still holding things together.

"Chun Yu," Yu Qingxi said, "I don't need to open the things that I don't need for the time being, but put them in the sundries."

"Yes, Madam Third!" Chun Yu responded.When they came out this trip, they took all the things they were going to take to Gantang Town, and they didn't go back to the capital after the year, and went directly to the office.She thought for a while, and then asked, "Third Young Master, Third Young Madam, tonight is a family feast, should we prepare some supper in our small kitchen?"

"Let's make some vegetable porridge?" Yu Qingxi looked at Ren Sangyu.

"Okay." Ren Sangyu said.

"Yes." Chun Yu took the order.When they came out this time, Haohanyuan brought Chunhua and Chunyu out, and it was not easy to arrange too many, Chunyu would still cook a little for simple meals, so they followed.

Chun Yu fetched hot water for the two of them to wash and comb, and Yu Qingxi let them go down when they were done.Ren Sangyu handed the red envelope received to Yu Qingxi and asked him to keep it.Yu Qingxi opened it directly, and Ren Da, as the head of the family, gave out the most, which was 1000 taels of silver notes, and the red envelopes after that were all 200 taels.

"Judging from their salaries, this is considered a heavy payment." Ren Sangyu looked at the hundred taels of silver ticket and said.

"Yeah." Yu Qingxi nodded, after thinking for a while, he took out five 1000 taels of banknotes that he had prepared in advance and gave them to Ren Sangyu, "Sangyu, the family will spend a lot of money next year, you take these banknotes to give to Ren Sangyu. Go to Mom and Dad's place." As for how much to give to Ren Fugong and how much to Ren's family, there must be a charter between Ren Zhichu and Ren Fan.

"This..." Ren Sangyu thought for a while and nodded, "Okay!"

Ren Sangyu couldn't rest peacefully, her buttocks were numb from sitting all the way, so it's better to walk.He stuffed the 5000 taels of silver into his sleeve pocket and walked out of the house.Chun Yu was packing things in the sundry room, Ren Sangyu went in and called her, "Chun Yu, are you cleaning up the third young lady's account?"

"Yes." Chun Yu put down what she was doing, and came over to answer.

"The third young lady took 5000 taels of silver bills," Ren Sangyu said, "then it will be withdrawn from my account, and there is no need to add money to the third young lady's account."

Chun Yu paused and looked at Ren Sangyu.

Ren Sangyu glared at her: "Silly girl! You are my servant!"

"Yes, Third Young Master!" Chun Yu responded.

Only then did Ren Sangyu walk out of the yard in satisfaction, and went to Ren Zhichu's yard.

After Chun Yu cleaned up everything, she went to the house to serve Yu Qingxi.Yu Qingxi handed over the received bank note to Chun Yu to enter the account, and Chun Yu held the bank note and hesitated for a long time without moving his feet.

"The third young master went to look for you?" Yu Qingxi knew that she definitely wanted to say this, so she didn't dare to say it clearly.Although he was in the main house, the movement in the whole yard could be heard clearly.

"Yes." Chun Yu immediately raised her eyes, the third young lady seemed to know?

"He used his own money to make up the 5000 taels in my account?" Yu Qingxi asked again.

"Yes." Chun Yu nodded

"I see." Yu Qingxi didn't say much, just let her go down.Chun Yu saw that the third young lady's face was normal, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or something else, so she went down.The corners of Yu Qingxi's mouth curled up slightly after waiting for the person to leave, you idiot!The money in Ren Sangyu's account is indeed enough to pay the 5000 taels, but the remaining monthly bills are not much, and he will be an eighth-rank official in the next year, and his salary will not be much.Being an official inevitably requires a lot of entertainment, and human relations are also necessary. Is it possible that he will not be able to survive when the money is short in the future?Not long after they got married, all the wealth was handed over to him, and he insisted on sticking to which ledger it came from.Well, male chauvinism is something that men will have more or less!

Yu Qingxi smiled, took a sip of tea, looked at the hand stove on the small case, and shook his head again and again.He picked up the hand stove, went outside, and called Chunhua to deliver it to the fool.

Ren Sangyu found Ren Zhichu's yard according to his impression just now, which was also a small yard. Ren Zhichu and his wife lived with the rest of the bastards, and it seemed that the location was not as good as his yard.He thought about the location of each house in Ren's courtyard, and his courtyard should be the one with the most sunshine during the day.He was about to go in when Chunhua trotted over from behind: "Third Young Master, Third Young Madam asked me to bring the hand stove."

"Oh." Ren Sangyu smiled, left in a hurry, and dropped the hand stove into the room.Holding the stove in hand, he went into the house.

"Did Sang Yu rest in the house?" When Ren Fan saw him coming, he took the teapot off the charcoal stove and poured him a cup of hot tea.

"Well, come here for a walk." Ren Sangyu hung the cloak on the side shelf, sat down next to Ren Fan, and then looked around, "Where's father?"

"Your father went to sit with your uncle." Ren Fan said with a smile, "How about it, you haven't been back to my family for many years, do you still remember?"

"I don't remember clearly." Ren Sangyu lowered his eyes and sipped his tea.

"En." Ren Fan recalled that when he was young, he was arguing to go back to his home, exhausted all the way, and immediately fell ill on the bed when he arrived at his home, and it has been many years in a flash.She said: "You have liked this place since you were a child, and after living here for a few days you get used to it, and you can probably remember the end of it."

"I also think this place is pretty good now." Ren Sangyu smiled.

Ren Fan smiled and asked him again: "What's the matter when you came here suddenly to find your mother?"

"Mother, Sangyu is also getting married this year." Ren Sangyu took out five bank notes and handed them over, "This is a little filial piety from Qingxi and I, thank you for your father, mother, brother and sister-in-law for taking care of them for many years."

Ren Fan looked at him and smiled, took the banknote and took a look: "This must be Qingxi's handwriting."

"Yes," Ren Sangyu said, "Even after my elder brother got married, he also went out to Ren Fu Gongzhong and Ren's compound every year, and Sangyu was no exception."

"You don't know your grandfather's temperament?" Ren Fan returned the five bank notes to Ren Sangyu, "The public money is not taken, and the dowry of wives and daughters is not taken from private houses."

Ren Sangyu was silent.

"You haven't started to be an official yet, so you don't know how much your salary is." Ren Fan said.

Ren Sangyu didn't speak, just looked at her.He knew the salary of officials. Judging from his eighth-rank salt official, the annual salary did not exceed one hundred taels.

"If you take so much money all at once, don't say that your grandfather would never accept it, neither would your parents." Ren Fan said, "You don't need these five coins, just one can make your grandfather punish you Recite home training."

"How much is Sangyu suitable?" Ren Sangyu asked.

"Your two elder brothers don't dare to give more than 50 taels to the Ren family every year, but to our public house it is 100 taels." Ren Fan said.

Ren Sangyu remembered that when they got married, the two elder brothers even sent 500 taels of red envelopes.

Seeing his expression, Ren Fan understood, and said: "When you get married, the red envelope is the last time you receive it, and it will be given out in the future. Your grandfather, father, mother, and elder brother are your closest relatives. When you get married, the older ones are the same. In order to make you more comfortable in the future. After you get married, you will start a career. Fortunately, you are going to be an official now. It is reliable that such a small salary is not enough to support your family. This year you will pay 5000 taels. Maybe next year Qingxi will pay [-] taels ?”

Ren Sangyu confessed.If he hadn't been awarded an official, he would have to take the exam every year, and if he had no income, he would have to live on this money.He said: "Mother, how did the Ren family support such a large expenditure?" No wonder he asked, but he knew that the Ren family was not in business.

"The fields are harvested, and the rent of the shop. Every spring, the Ren family will buy some fields and pass them down from generation to generation." Ren Fan said, "Also, inheritance. The accumulation of ancestors and the hard work of each generation have made the Ren family a reality." .As long as the inheritance exists, the Ren family will always be an aristocratic family."

Ren Sangyu nodded to express his understanding.There are many rich families, but they may not be able to become aristocratic families. Only the family's deep and strict family education can maintain the name of this family.Therefore, if the Yu family wants to change the lintel, if the teaching is not strict, not to mention the impossibility of an aristocratic family, even a century-old family cannot be formed.

"There are a lot of officials in Ren's family, scattered around Ruomi, but there has never been one who has a bad style of work, and that is because he has been upright since he was a child." Ren Fan said, "Being upright is the foundation of a family. In the future You have to keep that in mind when you're out there."

"Yes, thank mother for teaching me." Ren Sangyu said sincerely.

Yu Qingxi apologized to Ren Fan when he heard what Ren Sangyu had conveyed, but he didn't think of this.During dinner, Ren Sangyu and Yu Qingxi had a better understanding of Ren Fan's words.The seats were still divided between men and women, and Yu Qingxi was not arranged among the female relatives, but sat next to Ren Sangyu, which made him feel very comfortable.

In the banquet where the wind and dust are washed away, the dishes are very homely, there is not even a luxurious and expensive dish, but the atmosphere is very harmonious.The amount of food for dinner is enough, but not too much.After dinner, the servants cleared away the dishes, and there was no trace of dirt on the table.When the tea was served, the people on the table did not leave the table, they just held the tea and talked.

"Qingxi, I like this place, how about you?" Ren Sangyu said softly to him.

"Me too." Yu Qingxi smiled, he also liked this atmosphere very much.

"I'm afraid the cooked vegetable porridge will be wasted?" Ren Sangyu said.

"I don't know if Chunyu Chunhua has been used. We will share one point later, so there should be no leftovers." Yu Qingxi said.

When Ren Sangyu heard this, he smiled lightly with him.
