Zhaojun's open life

Chapter 2: A Dream in the Red Chamber

The Yang family who ran out dragged a man who had been electrocuted. His whole body was so dark that he couldn't see his facial features clearly.

The capital has always been rich in the east and rich in the west, poor in the south and humble in the north. Zhaojun's family lives in the southeast, which is the boundary of the east city, but close to the south city.

Go out of the alley and cross two streets, which is Nancheng.

The Yang family took the burnt second son Yang into a medical clinic.

The old doctor saw it in surprise and asked, "It was caused by a lightning strike."

Before, the southeast of the capital was covered by dark clouds, and the day turned into night. Although it only lasted for a while, the momentum, as well as the continuous rumbling, purple thunder and lightning, suspended in a certain area, were especially obvious in the dark night.

The old doctor saw it too, but he didn't know that Grandpa Leishen also chopped up two people.

Uncle Yang rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "This, it's okay, please show me the doctor."

"Hehe, take a look, old man." The old doctor inspected skillfully, and the old doctor who had a lot of inner jokes asked insinuatingly.

After figuring out how and how Yang Laoer and Zhou were hit, he understood everything clearly.

The scene of lightning hitting Zhou Shi and Yang's second child also flashed in his mind, and the simulation was eight, nine, and ten.

"It's okay, take some medicine powder back and apply it on. After a few days, the burnt area will fall off naturally. If you are not afraid of the color of the new meat that grows out, just don't eat heavy-colored food in the near future."

He didn't die from the lightning strike, and he still took a sigh of relief. What can he do, let's take care of it slowly.

He is not a god, but he knows how to hit it and what it feels like when it is hit. The old doctor thinks that even if it smells like paste, it is nothing.

The Yang family hired a bullock cart and dragged the seriously injured second child Yang back home.The Zhou family also enjoyed a blessing and went back in a bullock cart.

The rest of the people, except the children, followed the ox cart back.

I didn't get home until very late.

In one night, everyone around Jixiang Lane has already heard about it, roughly meaning:

The Yang family is a new widow with two sons.Forced out by her husband's cousin's family, the war is on the verge of breaking out.

Suddenly, the sky was covered by dark clouds, the sky was dark, thunder and lightning flashed, and the purple thunder and lightning intertwined into a grid, covering the edge of the east city near the south city.

The god of thunder appeared, and he was dedicated to killing bad guys. The Wang family who was persecuted by his husband's uncle's family and his two sons, as well as all the spectators watching the fun, were all fine, but the uncle's family, a man and a woman who came forward to push and swear They were all struck by the thunder god and passed out, and the thunder god has been chasing Tang Bo's family, hovering above their heads.

A few days later, such a miraculous event quickly spread from the common people to the ears of the nobles in the eastern and western cities.

The legend is amazing, and there are various versions. In the teahouse, there are storytellers who write this story into a short story and perform it in the teahouse. (This is a later story)

Early the next morning, Zhaojun got up to cook. Yesterday, his parents, elder brother, and fourth brother stayed in the city. The other two elder brothers left before closing the city gate. There were only women and children at home, so he was somewhat worried.

After breakfast, Wang's father took Wang Da and Wang four brothers to go out to do errands together, looking for two servants for the younger sister (second sister), one room was put on the Zhuangzi, and the other room was left to work in the house in the city.

There is also the idea of ​​going to the main family in the capital to find connections and suppress the Yang family. Father Wang never thought about killing the Yang family.

He is an honest farmer who has thought about the future of his children and getting rich, but he has never thought about killing people.

I also want to find a relationship with my family, buy a second-year-old house in Xicheng, and let my youngest daughter move to Xicheng.

Sell ​​the Dongcheng house, add some money, and buy it again.The security of Xicheng is relatively good, there are many small schools, and there are also many masters who understand university knowledge.

The little grandson and the others are going to go to school to take the exam for fame. After thinking about it, Xicheng is good.

It's just that the houses in Xicheng are very pretty, even the small houses once you enter them are very pretty, and they are generally not easy to buy.

Without the help of officials and eunuchs to find a middleman, even if you buy a house, you will be ruthlessly slaughtered like a fat pig, and it may even hurt your muscles and bones.

The father and son took the money given by Zhaojun to visit the home of Prince Teng, the governor of Beijing.

Clansmen like them are also farmers, and when they have something to ask their clan relatives, they didn't say goodbye to them.They are not some other promising officials in the clan, and they will send greetings to each other when they communicate with each other. They are rough people, and the general process is:

Find the concierge first, and then the housekeeper. If the housekeeper can do it, he will do it directly.Then the housekeeper reported back to the mistress of the mansion to know.

When it’s the holidays, just send some agricultural products produced at home to thank.

If the housekeeper can't do it, he has to immediately report to the mistress or the master in the mansion and let them make a decision.

It's usually a small matter, and it's usually done with the help of the housekeeper.

Father Wang has been to the mansion of his younger brother Wang Ziteng several times, and he also knows the housekeeper, and even had a drink together, so he went directly to the housekeeper.

I bought a few boxes of snacks and two jars of good wine.

At home, Zhaojun had eaten breakfast, and the queen mother took the children to the street to buy.

Yuanchen's embroidery skills are good, and her clothes-making skills are also good. She needs to buy some plain clothes, shoes and socks that she and her children wear during the mourning period.

Ordinary people's filial piety rules are not as big as those of big families. They have to do errands, buy things, and some chores.

Eating meat, drinking alcohol, and things between husband and wife, if you are not pregnant, you must abide by it, and you must also abide by it if you don’t go to other people’s doors.

"Mom, where are we going?"

Xiao Pingle, holding his mother's hand, looked around.

He lives in the capital, but he seldom goes out and walks on the street. Most of the time he takes an ox cart or a horse-drawn cart to go to Zhuangzi in the countryside, or to be a guest at the house of his grandfather and grandmother.

"Go buy some fabric."

Xiaopingan is the elder brother, he seems to be one?I grew up overnight, sensible, and matured a lot.He also tightly held on to his grandmother's hand. There was Pai Huazi on the street, and he dared not let go.

Go through two alleys and step into the street of Nancheng.

The streets are full of traffic and crowds.

The signboard above the store flutters in the wind, making the wind blow.

The hawkers on both sides of the street yelled vigorously, intertwined with the bargaining sounds of customers, and there was a lot of voices.

What a peaceful and prosperous age, what a prosperous scene.

Through many lives, she has seen many tragic scenes, and also seen many more prosperous and peaceful times.

At the first stop, I bought fabrics, coarse cloth, Songjiang cloth, and I bought a lot, even a lot of cotton.

If you can't get it, make an appointment with the shopkeeper and ask the little guy to deliver it to your home in the afternoon.

At the second stop, I went to the bookstore and bought all the brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, as well as the temporary posters for tracing red.After that, I went to the Youfang grocery store to buy oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. I passed by a dim sum shop and bought a lot of dim sum.

Queen Mother Bai twitched her lips, trying to say something, but it was hard to say.Before buying cloth, my daughter said:

I have nothing to do at home, except to make the clothes I want to wear now, as well as winter cotton-padded jackets and cotton-padded shoes.

It's hard for her to buy more, and it doesn't matter if you buy more oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, anyway, it can be used at home.

But buying so many snacks, she wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.It seems that when they go back, they are brought back to the nephews and nieces (grandchildren) at home.

She wanted her daughter not to buy it, but she thought that her daughter would have to rely on her brothers and sisters before the children grew up.

She and the old man can control the money of their sons and daughters-in-law, but they can't control what they are thinking.

Just buy it, let the sons go to the city more in the future, and come to the second daughter's house to see more and see what they can help.

The Queen Mother thought wildly for a while, and then she realized that the second daughter was leading the two children into a leather goods store.

"Shopkeeper, do you have sheepskin?"

Zhaojun herself knows how to knead leather in the ancient way, and she wants to make some sheepskin winter boots.My family wears them, and I keep a few pairs as gifts.

Her technology is more advanced than the current ones, and thick down is embedded inside, the bottom is thicker, it is okay to step on the snow a little bit, get wet a little bit, and it will keep your feet warm in winter.It is also an excellent item for gift giving.

"Yes, there are all kinds of furs." The shopkeeper waved, and a little guy came over to greet Zhaojun and the others.

The young man was eloquently introducing all kinds of low-end leather goods in the shop, and the customers in front of him were not the kind of wealthy people at first glance.

I bought [-] or [-] sheepskins, and I also have rabbit skins. I bought a lot. I plan to make fur vests and rabbit fur hats for the children.It needs to be painted well, and the process is a bit complicated, so prepare more, for fear that some will be damaged.

After buying what to buy, the mother and daughter took the two children and didn't go home until noon.

"Mother, rest, I'll cook." The tired children, who had settled down, quickly went into the kitchen to cook.

The cooking skills have been experienced for many generations, and the home-cooked dishes are very delicious. There are also a few special dishes for entertaining guests.

There are still a few pieces of meat left in the house, which have been marinated. Originally, the Uncle Yang's family wanted to take them away, but they fled yesterday. How can I remember those pieces of meat.

The fire under the stove was burning vigorously, and the cut pork belly made a "stinging" sound in the pot. It was greasy, and the soaked large iron pot was shiny.

She never thought about not letting her children eat meat for three years, once every seven days, and egg custard once every three days.

Children are still young and need nutrition. It is more scientific for people in later generations to raise children, and they are not taboo about these things.

It took half an hour to prepare a table of dishes, including red meat, fried eggs with shallots, stewed pork ribs with taro, and several bowls of vegetables.

"Father, mother, go to the table for dinner." Father Wang returned home with his two sons and the two servants he had just bought.

"Hey, Junjun still made all these meat dishes, don't do it again in the future, you mother and son three can't be criticized. You can't eat meat during the filial piety period, you know?"

When the prince returned home, he and his sons kept arranging the newly bought two servants.

They are arranged to live in the upside-down house at the front, and the other family will follow the Wang family tomorrow. Father Wang will take them to Zhuangzi, and he has to introduce them to Zhuangzi.

There are two hundred acres of fertile land in Zhuangzi, and more than ten acres of dry land are planted with vegetables and fruit trees (jujube trees, apricots, persimmons, and a few high-quality large white pears specially bought).There are also a few pigs and a hundred chickens (raised loosely in the small fruit forest), and the village provides fruits, vegetables, and meat for the daughter's family.

He would go to Zhuangzi from time to time to have a look, but if he didn't, he felt bad.I'm afraid of the tenants, and the head of the village will play tricks, so I will go more frequently in the future.

The son-in-law is gone, only the mother and son are left, the weak daughter, they probably don't understand the affairs of the village, unlike before when there was a son-in-law running around.

Zhaojun smiled softly and explained with a good temper, "Father, An'er, Le'er and I don't eat meat. These are made for you and mother. There are a few pieces of meat left at home, and I will take them back when I leave tomorrow." .

They also make up for their nephews and nieces. I haven't seen you for a while. Next time my mother comes, I will bring the eldest girl, the second girl, and the third girl. "

There are three elder brothers in her natal family, and one daughter in the family. Only the fourth son has only one son in her family, and the rest have two to three children.

"Second Sister, your cooking is really delicious. Next time Dani comes, you can teach her."

After Wang Da ate the meal cooked by his sister, he was surprised for a moment, but he didn't go into it any further. Maybe the second sister's cooking skills have improved.

They also didn't eat the meals cooked by their eldest sister for more than half a year.

"Okay, as long as they want to learn, they can learn."

The little niece is only four years old, and the one who has been with Xiao Pingle for a year is only a few months older.What can I learn, Da Ni and Er Ni are both eight and six years old, but they can learn.

The days passed smoothly, and it was winter in a blink of an eye.

At the end of November, it snowed in the capital for three consecutive days, and the snow had already reached the calf.

"Ma'am, Zhuangzi has brought food." Han Dagen's family opened the curtain, walked into the house, and reported.

Sitting on the kang, Zhaojun was looking at his eldest son, Bianhong, who was still holding a needle and thread in his hand, and was holding the sole of the shoe stitch by stitch.

The younger son was lying on the kang with his head resting on Zhaojun's.

Zhaojun raised his head, glanced at his eldest son, and lowered his voice, "What did you give?"

"There are fish, there are eggs, and the rest are side dishes (vegetables) for the winter."

Han Dagen's family handed Zhaojun a list, which included the names of various dishes, and there were two catties.

"Save some fish and eggs, and two fish to eat fresh, and you can make them yourself. After the rest are marinated, smoke them into cured fish.

Leave enough side dishes for the winter, and sell the rest. "

She and the children can't eat meat, but they cook white eggs, steamed egg custard, and scrambled eggs for the children in rotation every day.The children are still young and growing up.

"Yes." Han Dagen's family withdrew and arranged for a man to sell vegetables.If the wife has anything to do, she will tell her to pass it on to the man.

It's already winter, and the city and the countryside are starting to relax.

"Mother, the description is finished." Ping An raised the big characters written.

"Okay, rest. In the afternoon, practice." The two children practice martial arts at home every day, and Zhaojun teaches them.

Children practice martial arts, no matter how well they learn.In the future, their physical fitness will not be too bad, and they will be able to resist one or two dangers.

"Mom, my brother and I will play in the snow for a while, okay?"

"Go, come back when your shoes are wet. Don't be playful."

"Okay, just play for a while." The younger brother Pingle jumped up happily when he heard that he was going out to play.He didn't sleep anymore, he lay on his mother's lap and kept tossing and turning.
