I was the heir in ancient times

The afternoon passed slowly like an old woman's embroidery needle, unhurriedly passing through the insole stuffed with paper.The embroidery needle is pushed in slowly from the front, pulling the thin thread like the breeze into the insole slowly, and embroidering only one petal in the whole afternoon.

The little Gu Baozhen was holding the goose's wings and sitting in the yard waiting for dinner. The swaying canopy of the tree let out the setting sun and shrouded the three muddy old houses of the old Gu's family under the red-gold sunset.

For a while he went to watch the eldest third brother in the family chop firewood, and for a while he went to watch the fourth and fifth brothers sitting inside the stove, rolling dry straw and pulling a bellows, while the old lady who was making soup rolled up her sleeves and copied one with one hand. The big wooden spoon stirred back and forth in the pot of clear soup and little water, and when she saw Jiaoer running, she waved to Jiaoer and said, "Xiaoqi, come and help mother taste the saltiness."

As the old lady said, she wiped the side of her old clothes with her hands, knelt down and blew on the bright white fish soup on the big wooden spoon, and coaxed with a smile: "I'll throw some shrimps in later, those small shrimps It’s all from your old Uncle Li and the others, saying that you like to eat it, so you asked me to take it.”

After Gu Yangshi finished speaking, she saw Jiaoer abandoning her little friend General Bai and running to drink the soup with a big wooden spoon in her delicate bright red mouth. , and finally looked up at an extremely cute face, hugged her and said, "It's super delicious!"

"Hahaha, it's delicious and then soaked in black steamed buns for a while, don't say it's bitter!"

Little friend Gu nodded obediently, glanced at the two elder brothers who were lighting the fire and pulling the bellows, and immediately walked over with a big wooden spoon, saying, "Brother, try it too."

There is no such thing as a gentleman staying away from the kitchen in the old Gu's kitchen, so the kitchen is also a place where Gu Baozhen and his brothers often come.

The kitchen is not big, except for a stove and a sturdy wooden shelf.

The wooden shelf is used to put books, but there are no books in the old Gu family's house. Gu Baozhen yelled that after the third brother made such a thing, he specially put it in the kitchen, and asked the old lady to put the vegetables, baskets, etc. that were piled on the ground. Eggs are sorted and put away.

In Gu Sangou'er's words, that's "fucking about fart". Now that the supplies in Daoliang City are so scarce, it's good to have something to eat. Who cares about whether these things are well-decorated or not? !

But after all, Gu Sangou'er made a beautiful wooden frame for his younger brother, and dedicated it to his mother along with his younger brother.

Having said that, the one who was being fed fish soup by Xiao Qi at this moment was Gu Yu'an, the fourth child who was sitting a little outside.

The fourth brother, Gu Yu'an, didn't have time to refuse, but Xiao Qi's wooden spoon came over and knocked on the teeth, and his lips, which were not so smooth, dry and cracked, immediately bleed!

But Gu Yu'an just blinked his eyes, took a sip of the fish soup according to Xiao Qi's movement, nodded, and said to the old lady: "It's delicious."

"Fifth brother is coming too!"

The fifth brother who was sitting inside the fourth child shook his head quickly, and said with a smile: "Give back the spoon to mother, you eat here and there, you take a bite and I take a bite, there won't be much left when it's served on the table!"

Gu Baoyu let out an 'oh', and returned the spoon to the old lady who didn't mind at all, and swayed on the back of the fourth brother who was sitting outside, relying on being the youngest in the family, it can be said that he was pampered.

The fourth child kept licking the broken lips, not to blame Xiao Qi for being reckless, but when Xiao Qi habitually lay down on his back, he went back behind him with one hand and held Xiao Qi's bare buttocks, saying: "Don't fall."

"Well, I know."

Around the time when the sky gradually turned blue, but it was still bright, the Gu family had dinner.

Gu Baozhen, who claims that his family is still a farmer, can no longer have milk anytime and anywhere since he ended his baby life. He began to enter the era of two meals a day with his family.

The first meal is after work, at about eight or nine o'clock, or later, at ten o'clock for breakfast.

The second meal is in the afternoon, when it is getting dark, at four or five o'clock in the afternoon in winter, and around six o'clock in summer because it gets dark late.

After eating, most people are ready to rest, because candles and oil lamps are luxury items at this time, and everyone will only light them when they are in urgent need. Usually, no one is willing to light lamps.

Gu Baozhen has lived for five years, and he always feels some contradictions. On the one hand, his father's famous feat of leading troops to rebel is on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is eating miscellaneous vegetables in the rear, saving money on food, and everyone is a peasant.

Anyway, they can be regarded as squeezed into the upper class of feudal society, right?It doesn't matter if there is no maid, no three courts and six courtyards, at least let him have a full meal!But that didn't work either.

Everyone is very economical, all the food and grass are given to the front, and the wounded soldiers and some surrendered soldiers are constantly taken in. The city can't live, and the healthy family members spontaneously move to the villages outside the city to live in the countryside. Let the wounded live in good places.

Therefore, most of the time, Gu Baozhen didn't feel that he had any special status. He was just a country boy. Look at his brothers, who have been farming since birth. The farmer with his face facing the loess and his back facing the sky, after all, he now understands that a battle is impossible every three to five years, and if he wants to rebel, it will be fought one after another. One three to five years.

Every time little Gu Baozhen thinks of this, he feels sorry for himself.

With my mother's resounding 'eat! ’, the big locust tree seemed to shake a few times, staggering and frightening a few confused magpies, chirping and flying away, finding no danger, and returning.

Gu Baozhen is still a child who can't carry his shoulders or hands, so he usually doesn't need to do any rough work. The third brother carried the wooden table out of the main room, and the fourth and fifth brothers moved the stool—although these two people have completely different personalities, they can do a lot of work. But things are always arranged by the old lady - the sixth brother is accepted as an apprentice by the Yunlu genius doctor, and he studies with him every day, so he only needs to serve the dishes.

The ones who came out of the side room were the sister-in-law who basically didn't want to go out except for meals, and Gu Baozhen's little nephew.

Gu Baozhen actually likes sister-in-law quite a lot.

The original name of the sister-in-law was Liu Ruqin. I heard from the third elder brother with a big mouth that the sister-in-law was originally the daughter of the famous Liu family in Shandong. In this way, he married the eldest son of a tycoon in the turbulent era-a rough guy who didn't know the style, love, or elegance except for the art of war and weapons.

The image of a rough guy was imagined by Gu Baozhen, because the third brother always told him that the eldest brother can carry a tripod and has a beard.

Marrying a daughter is a very risky thing.

Because the old man and the others have not successfully climbed to the top, but since the Liu family chose to stand by them, marrying their daughter is probably a very loyal thing for them. If they become in-laws, then all the strengths of the two families will stick together. When they are together, one hair will move the whole body, and there is absolutely no way to retreat temporarily.

The elder sister-in-law is tall and tall, and she looks like a lady when she sits, walks and stands up. She is not the kind of weak willow and supportive wind. If Gu Baoyu sums it up, it is a kind of aloofness and a bit of maternity.

Gu Xiaoqi couldn't help but think that if the father really became the emperor, then the elder brother would be the prince. After a few years, the elder brother would ascend the throne, the elder sister-in-law would be the queen, and the younger nephew would be the next prince.

According to the strict education the sister-in-law gave to the five-year-old nephew, it is estimated that she was educated for the position of the future emperor. I am afraid that those Shandong aristocratic families saw that their Gu family did not shed the blood of educated people, so they married a daughter. Improve future royal lineage?

Gu Xiaoqi found it quite interesting.

Gao Leng's sister-in-law came out to eat with her five-year-old nephew in her arms, and had strict requirements on every move she made. As soon as she came, she asked the five-year-old nephew to follow her to salute her mother-in-law.

Gu Baozhen is used to this kind of scene. At first, I could still see my old lady telling my little nephew not to be so polite. We are all a family. How could there be so many rules, but the sister-in-law said righteously [Mother, the husband said before leaving home, All Zhitong's education is taught by his daughter-in-law, so you don't have to feel sorry for him. Now that you have learned these rules, you will not embarrass your husband outside in the future. 】

This is indeed a bit insinuating, but the old lady didn't seem to understand, so she just replied, "That's hard work for you, I'm an old woman, I don't understand these things, and I didn't have any regulations on what I learned from my husband, so maybe I can understand it." few words. 】

[By the way, I think Xiaoqi and Zhitong are about the same age, and it’s not a big deal to go out with his brothers all day long. Why don’t you just study with you and Zhitong?How about letting him also strive to do the right thing at the right age? 】

The old lady asked with bright eyes at that time.

But the sister-in-law hesitated for a few seconds, did not accept Gu Baozhen immediately, and said [this... If you want to teach the seventh brother, it is not impossible, but I don’t have so much energy, and the seventh brother has already missed the time for enlightenment. Individual progress is different, I'm afraid I can't teach well...]

When Gu Baozhen heard this, he was afraid that his old lady would not understand, and he didn't want to break the wonderful balance between sister-in-law and old lady, so he jumped out and said that he was still young and didn't want to go to school, so his old lady patted his head and escaped. that matter.

At this moment, the little nephew Zhi Tong, who was about the same age as Gu Baoyu and was born a month earlier, was saluting to his elder brothers with a straight face, and finally came to Gu Baoyu's side in order. , Stretched out his little hand to touch his nephew's head, and said pretendingly: "Well, Zhi Tong, my little uncle will tell you a story tonight, the story of the Monkey King three times beating the Bone Demon."

Zhi Tong was wearing a simple blue gown, the cuffs were stained with ink, and the thin arms that Xiao Qi saw inadvertently were full of pinch marks and traces of bamboo sticks. He bowed respectfully, and replied, "Xie little uncle."

The author has something to say: In ancient times, seniority was chaotic haha~

To be honest, I am the same age as my uncle, and he is even a month or two younger than me QAQ

Stick education was more popular in ancient times, and now Xiao Baozhen still feels sorry for his nephew, and he will have to feel sorry for his attack in the future. 233
