Blessings of Time Traveling

On the first day after Xiaonian, the Zhao family had guests.

The guest's surname is Ji, and his name is Ji Liang.He is a classmate of Saburo and Shiro.More importantly, he is Zhao Xiaomei's fiance.

Speaking of which, everyone used to study in Lidong Town, and Qi Mingcheng, Sanlang and Shiro were also classmates.But Yuanshen, even though he put on a good face, actually looks down on the mud-legged people in his heart, so he rarely communicates with Saburo and Shiro.It happened that Yuan was in Class A at that time, and Saburo and Shiro were in Class C. There were few chances to meet each other, so Yuan was fooled by a studious appearance of "I have to study all the time".

However, at that time, Saburo and Shiro didn't like Qi Mingcheng faintly, but because of his sister-in-law's face, and seeing that Qi Mingcheng hadn't done anything bad, they felt that maybe everyone just didn't agree with each other, so they just followed along. The meaning of the original body has reduced communication.

Later, when the Zhao family wanted to get married, they really chose Qi Mingcheng because of Qi Erniang's face.After Qi Mingcheng became part of the Zhao family, Saburo and Shiro saw that his character was completely different from what they imagined at the beginning, and then they felt that they were narrow-minded, and they felt guilty.

I just wanted to make it clear that the original body didn't know much about Sanlang and Shiro's friendship, and even Qi Mingcheng didn't get much useful information with him. He didn't know what the student surnamed Ji Mingliang was like. This ability actually made the Zhao family fancy.

According to the rules of Lidong Town, after the two families got married, they were already relatives, but before they were formally married, the two families would not move around each other during New Year's greetings.If the man wants to show his importance to the woman, he needs to go to the woman's house to send some New Year's goods before the year.

Ji Liang's appearance of fifteen or sixteen is a bit thin, and he has the appearance of a scholar who reminds people of the phrase "a scholar with nothing to use".However, in fact, he is very strong, at least much stronger than Qi Mingcheng.There were two baskets of New Year's goods, and he carried them into Zhao's yard on his shoulders.

Qi Mingcheng glanced at it, and found that the things Ji Liang sent were all good things, the rice was new rice, and the candy was also good candy.

Zhao Xiaomei, who was sitting in front of the stove warming herself, immediately got up and hid in her own room.In fact, she finished her makeup early today, and even put rouge on her face. Qi Mingcheng thought that she would have a good talk with her fiancé, but she didn't expect that the two of them would just meet each other.

Ji Liang took out a thin silver hairpin from his bosom, blushed, but dared not chase after it.The new year's goods were prepared by the family, but the hairpin was bought with his own savings.In his spare time, he often copied books for the bookstore, and secretly wrote scripts in private, so he accumulated some private money.

Qi Erniang hurriedly said: "Brother Ji, sit down, this is for my sister, right? My sister-in-law handed it over for you." Married women are always happy to make jokes about new couples, but fortunately, everything Qi Erniang said is true. It was decent, so that Ji Liang, who had just entered the door, was so ashamed that he wanted to exit directly from the door.

Qi Mingcheng found it interesting.

Compared with the young men and women who always talk about love, hate and love in later generations, people like Ji Liang and Zhao Xiaomei are really innocent.

The brothers of the Zhao family were obviously very satisfied with Ji Liang, the future brother-in-law. Qi Erniang went to the kitchen to get a bowl of eggs in sugar water and put nine eggs in it!In this era when materials are not very abundant, everyone only knows that eggs are a good thing, regardless of whether they have high cholesterol or not.

Although Ji Liang doesn't look too old, he is very decent in dealing with people.Knowing that he couldn't eat nine eggs, he didn't want to lose face. He called a few uncles, divided a bowl of eggs into several bowls, and everyone ate them up.Qi Mingcheng also got one.

Ji Liang estimated that he set off from his own home in the early morning, and it was still in the morning when he arrived at Zhao's home.

Because Ji Liang was already expected to come, in order to entertain Ji Liang, the Zhao family deliberately ate the meal a little late in the morning, and waited for Ji Liang to come before eating together.Moreover, Qi Erniang cooked very richly.They are looking at Ji Haoliang now, pointing to him being good to the younger sister of the Zhao family in the future!

Zhao Xiaomei never came out of the room.

Even though Ji Liang's eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of the little sister's room, all the uncles pretended not to see this scene, and no one wanted to call the little sister out.Qi Erniang instructed Sanlang to light a stove for the younger sister, and the breakfast was also sent to the younger sister's room for her to eat.

Since Ji Liang's house is far away, he should go back not long after dinner.If he stayed any longer, he would have to walk at night.

When Ji Liang was about to leave, San Lang went to Zhao Xiaomei's house again, and quickly brought out a bundle.

These are all the new clothes Zhao Xiaomei just made not long ago, one set for Ji Liang, one set for Ji Liang's grandmother, and one set for Ji Liang's mother.In addition, she also embroidered a book bag and two purses, which were for Ji Liang's younger brothers and sisters.This is a pretty good return gift.Not to mention that some money was spent on these fabrics, not to mention that Zhao Xiaomei's craftsmanship is excellent, the most important thing is that there is heart in every stitch and thread!

Ji Liang hugged his bundle, and stood awkwardly in Zhao's courtyard for a long time, finally he could only choke out a sentence: "Tell Xinmeier to take care of herself."

"Okay, my dear sister, can I take care of it?" Zhao Sanlang patted Ji Liang's shoulder and said.

After Ji Liang left with a blushing face, Qi Mingcheng raised his own question: "Why is he the only one in the Ji family?"

Erniang Qi still had a smile on her face, but when she heard this, her expression darkened, she couldn't help but sighed, and said, "Isn't he the only one here? In such a cold day, Grandma Ji Liang's body... He definitely won’t be able to leave the house. I feel more at ease when he comes alone.”

Grandma can't go out, so there are still parents?

But it turns out that the situation of the Ji family is a bit complicated.Ji Liang's mother later remarried.

The folk customs in the Jing Dynasty were fairly open, so it was common for folk girls to remarry.For example, after the death of his first wife, Qi Zha's father immediately married a widow from the same village into his family?Some people in Xiahe Village looked down on Qi Zha's father, and it was only because there were rumors that Qi Zha's father had an affair with this widow a few years ago, but they never used the reason of "the widow remarried" to criticize Qi Zha's father and his wife. his stepwife.

Ji Liang's father was a scholar, but also a sick child.When Ji Xiucai died of illness, Ji Liang was just one year old. He was as weak and sick as his father, and it seemed that he was not easy to support.Ji Liang also has a grandmother, her body is also average, after her son passed away, she followed Half Life.

In this way, the burden of life was all on Ji Liang's mother.

Because the mother-in-law and son are both medicine jars, the family fortune was quickly emptied.Ji Liang's mother has to serve the elderly and take care of the youngest son, even if the family still has a few acres of land, she can't take care of it!She persisted for two years, but in the end she couldn't live anymore, so she had to remarry.

Ji Liang's mother's character and appearance are good, even if she is married for the second time, there are still people coming to ask her to marry her.

Ji Liang's mother said directly: "Although Ah Liang's father is a heartless person who left our orphans and widowed mothers and left, I can't be as cruel as him. So, even if I want to remarry, I have to take it with me." Go to Aliang and Aliang's grandmother. Aliang's surname is Ji in this life, and he will not change his surname."

As soon as this condition came out, many people retreated immediately, but a master carpenter surnamed He still insisted on asking for marriage, and he was full of sincerity.The conditions of Master He's family are good, there are fields, land and craftsmanship, no prostitution, no gambling, no extravagance, how can such a person live a poor life?He also married a wife before, and when he returned to his natal home, he fell into the water and died in his natal home. The family already had a son and two daughters.All three children are still young.

Ji Liang's mother remarried with her son and mother-in-law.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have depended on each other for several years, but Ji Liang's grandmother is actually reluctant to let her daughter-in-law remarry.However, she has to marry if she can't bear it. Her wife's life is a burden to her daughter-in-law. If it weren't for the fact that Ji Liang was still young, the old man was really reluctant to close her eyes. Sometimes she wanted to hang herself with a rope.

Ordinarily, the previous mother-in-law agreed, and Ji Liang’s mother continued to support her mother-in-law after she remarried. She did nothing wrong at all, and the remarriage should be blessed. Stand up and block Carpenter He's ox cart that came to pick her up.

The clan members said a lot of stupid things that seemed to make sense, and to sum up what they meant was to prevent Ji Liang's mother from remarrying.

Because Ji Liang's father is a scholar, the only scholar in dozens of nearby villages, people with the surname Ji seem to be looked at by others when they go out. Under such circumstances, any behavior that discredits Ji Xiucai must be To be stopped, how can a scholar lady remarry?

Ji Liang's mother lifted her veil, pointed at the clan members and cursed: "When A Liang's father became a scholar, you all put the good land under his name to avoid the land tax. I don't know how much advantage you took! A Liang As soon as father left, you had to pay the land tax again, and you felt that his death was too untimely, so everyone turned to hate the dead man! Why didn’t you stand up when my family’s life was difficult? Now seeing The life of my family is about to get better, and you come out and say some stupid things? Why doesn't God accept you?"

The patriarch cocked his neck and said: "If you dare to leave today, I will open the ancestral hall and cross out your name from Ji Xiucai's name."

Ji Liang's mother sneered: "Cross out my name and tell Ah Liang to be a bastard? He has the same surname as you!"

"How can you, an unchaste woman, have the qualifications to raise my son of Ji's family? Without you, there will naturally be a daughter of a good family to take care of Ji Liang."

Ji Liang's mother's surname is Qi—that's Qi Mingcheng's Qi, Qi is considered a common surname in this area—the Qi family figured it out instantly.There is an old girl in the patriarch's sister, who has never been married because she was born stupid. The patriarch made such a scene when she married her second time. Could it be that he wanted his niece to take her place?Even though Ji Xiucai is dead and cannot survive to hold a wedding, but if the patriarch manages it well, that niece can take Qi's position and become Ji Xiucai's wife in terms of etiquette, and pick up Ji Liang for nothing. Such a son!

Qi's anger can be imagined.She must not let her son fall into the hands of such a selfish person!

Seeing Qi's refusal to budge, the patriarch only felt that his prestige had been greatly challenged. He had come prepared, and had already planned a poisonous plan in his heart, saying: "Then let Ji Liang choose by himself. If you don't want your mother anymore, what face do you have to rely on our Ji family? And if he insists on going with you, our Ji clan will definitely not tolerate such a corrupt family style, so let him leave the clan Bar."

The patriarch wanted nothing more than an empty-handed white wolf.Anyway, Ji Xiucai is dead, if Ji Liang is sensible and can follow the patriarch's wishes, then Ji Liang will be regarded as a member of his family in the future, even if his family is for Ji Liang to study. Follow Qi's, then Carpenter He has a son, it's not bad if he can give Ji Liang a bite to eat, will he support him to study?Even if he is offered to study, can Ji Liang really be admitted as a scholar?There is nothing so easy in the world!So by leaving him out of the clan to establish his authority, the patriarch felt that this was a good deal.

Leaving the clan means letting Ji Liang leave the existing clan and start another clan.This is a very serious disposition.

Under normal circumstances, what kind of people would be cast out?It is the kind of person who commits crimes, the kind of person who shames the ancestors, the kind of person whose character is so corrupt that the clansmen can't bear it... Let's put it this way, there are some ruffians in the village who are usually lazy and lazy. Too clean, like petty theft, everyone hates them, and will tell them to die if they get angry, but no one thought about letting them go out of the clan!

"Ji Liang was not very old at that time, but he already knew what was good, so he followed the Qi family without hesitation." Zhao Dalang explained to Qi Mingcheng.Although he has not studied seriously, he knows a few words, so sometimes he can use one or two idioms when he speaks, which seems very educated.

The Zhao family felt that Ji Liang's choice was right, but the fact that he left the clan actually brought a lot of adverse effects to Ji Liang.

Ji Liang's house is two hills away from Zhao's house, which can't be said to be far away, but it's not within the territory of Lidong Town, Yangquan County.He is actually from Huichang County.Then why did he come to Lidong Town to study?Because, the master of the academy in Huichang County, after hearing that Ji Liang was a member of the clan, did not ask the reason, did not discern the truth, and directly stated that he would not accept Ji Liang as a student.Ji Liang came to Lidong Town in desperation.

Such influence may follow Ji Liang's life.
