Little husband, he is born with a good life

When Xie Ning woke up again, he was the only one left in the carriage, and the carriage also stopped for a rest. He opened the curtains of the carriage, and saw his family members sitting by the side of the road.

Zhou Jinnian immediately noticed his gaze, and walked over with long legs, "Are you awake? Come down and walk."

"En." Xie Ning bent down to get out of the carriage, and was hugged by Zhou Jinnian.

After Xie Ning stood still, he looked at the sky, wondering, why did he feel wet?He raised his head and rolled his eyes to look around the sky.

Looking at it, blocked by her husband's handsome face, Zhou Jinian asked with a smile in his eyes, "What are you looking at?"

Xie Ning shrugged his nose, sniffing the air, it was still damp, "It's so wet..."

"Huh?" Zhou Jinian raised his eyebrows in question.

Xie Ning pursed his lips and smiled foolishly. He liked to see her husband's expression the most. One eyebrow was raised, and his lips were pursed because of doubt, making him look sinister and handsome.

Zhou Jinnian's heart was softened by the foolish smile of the little husband, he raised his arms, and covered the two with his sleeve robe, he lowered his head and kissed the little husband on the lips.

"I don't know why, I feel the air is so sticky, I don't like it..." Xie Ning licked his lips and explained.

It was a reasonable reason not to like Zhou Jinian here, Zhou Jinian stopped asking, turned around and said a few words to the two fathers, and then called the coachman to continue on his way.

After rectifying for a while, he set off again, and then returned to the carriage. After resting, Xie Ning was full of energy, leaning against Zhou Jinnian and muttering, "What did the magistrate call you to do?"

"Ask me what I found when I went to the Nuwa Temple, and what's unusual." Zhou Jinian thought for a while and then expressed his doubts, "It seems that I am afraid that the matter of the Nuwa Temple will be leaked, so I must remind you."

"The magistrate of the county is kind. If it is made public, those who have asked Mrs. Chun to ask for a child, even if nothing happened, I am afraid they will not be able to take care of themselves."

Zhou Jinnian nodded, "Since Magistrate He ordered the Nuwa Temple to be temporarily sealed off, I think he will conduct a thorough investigation, and no more women will be victimized."

"Then Mrs. Chun has the reputation of a poor person who died innocently!" Xie Ning was angrily.

"Who cares about the past after death? She won't be able to enjoy it no matter what, but the living people can breathe a sigh of relief because this secret has sunk to the bottom. This is the most important thing."

Xie Ning pursed his lips and nodded, the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Xie Ning broke the silence again: "Go to Fucheng, I want to open a wonton restaurant."

"Okay." Zhou Ji Nian agreed.

Xie Ning continued chattering about the plan, Zhou Jinnian embraced him, most of them nodded in agreement, and occasionally came up with an idea.

When the carriages lined up at the gate of the city, it was only afternoon when the sky turned dark, and it was about to rain, and the clouds were dense, so it couldn't be drizzle.

As soon as he entered the city gate, a violent storm blew up, and the people in the two streets rushed to their homes, and the merchants picked up baskets and rushed home, and all the shops began to pack up the things at the door.

Xie Nin felt comfortable now. Before it rained, the atmospheric pressure dropped, so he would feel the air was stuffy and humid.It was different after it rained, he was like a little fish floating to the surface, getting enough oxygen.

"So it's going to rain." Zhou Jinian looked down at him sideways, "My Ning Lang can actually know the weather?"

Xie Ning raised his head, his lips parted slightly, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded happily, "Yeah!"

After finishing speaking, he sat by the window, opened a small corner of the car curtain, and looked at the scenery of Fucheng outside.The streets are twice as wide as their town, and some pavements are hung with decorations, and the lanterns are hung with red knots, which is very luxurious.

And there is a cloth sail hanging on the side of the shop. On the white cloth, there is a bowl drawn with ink, which should be a noodle shop.Most of the common people are illiterate, they can recognize things by looking at paintings, and occasionally they go to the wrong shop, the shopkeeper and the like will not mind, and will follow the directions.

Fucheng has a large territory, and there are many people living in the city, so it is very inclusive and friendly.

The raindrops fell quickly, and finally got some rain, and the family finally arrived at their home in Fucheng.

Because the family has little savings, the house in Fucheng is quite grand.The gate of the courtyard had already hung a plaque of 'Zhou's house', which was sent by the government to save face when the relocation registration was done.

The red lacquered gate, entering the gate is the front yard, and crossing the gate is the veranda, which runs through the entire house.The veranda surrounds the inner courtyard, and there is a pavilion in the middle of the inner courtyard, which is a place for the family to enjoy the moon or entertain guests outside.

On the left and right of the veranda are four independent small courtyards with the same layout. Above the veranda is the main hall. The courtyards are separated by a certain distance, and the family members also have good privacy protection.

The torrential rain lasted all night, and after finishing their sumptuous dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Xie Ning grabbed Zhou Jinnian and rolled around beside him.

The new environment made him uncomfortable, and what's more, Zhou Jinnian was about to go to the government school to study, and he only had three days of rest in a month.

Zhou Jinnian also felt the little husband's reluctance and dependence, and coaxed softly: "Then you pretend to be a book boy and follow me to go to school? Huh?"

Xie Ning rolled his eyes, pressed his forehead against Zhou Jinnian's waist, pouted and said, "No, I want to open a big restaurant."

He was like a calf, playing with Zhou Ji Nian on the bed.

Zhou Jinnian grabbed the edge of the bed, his whole body tensed up, the muscles in his waist and abdomen swelled.

The unattractive, angry Xie Ning took off his shirt, buried his head in it, and pressed his face against his husband's warm abdominal muscles.

But he was used to the body temperature of his little husband Liang Sisi, Ning Lang's moist lips rubbed against his abdominal muscles, a little itchy, Zhou Jinnian sat up and picked Xie Ning up on his lap.

"Then you can do what you want, and I will take you on an outing with Xiumu."

Xie Ning was restrained by his arms, obediently lying on Zhou Jinnian's body, with his hands tucked into his stomach, his whole body was limp and boneless.

"Then you have to accompany me these few days, let's go for a stroll in the city tomorrow." Xie Ning whispered.

Zhou Jinian smiled, but his Ning Lang was easy to coax, "Okay."

In the summer of Fucheng, the nights are still hot, Xie Ning must sleep in Zhou Ji Nian's arms, just like his husband warmed him in winter, he also wants to relieve the heat of Ji Nian in summer.It was a bit uncomfortable at first, but I got used to it in the past month.

On the second day, the couple went out to the market together, the first gift Xie Ning and Zhou Ji Nian asked for was a small basket.

The shoppers all carried a small bamboo basket, and some, like a fortune teller, carried a cloth bag.

Xie Ning also wanted one, and Zhou Jinian naturally agreed, so he dragged Zhou Jinian's carpenter's shop and began to pick it up, and finally picked a round and big one.

Holding it in his hand, he went shopping happily. The street was bustling with people at noon, and a few strange-looking people with big beards came leading strange horses.

It was the first time Xie Ning saw him, carrying a small basket, just like the people on the street, staring blankly at people.

"Hu people, the camels are what they lead. They are nomads, and they have to go through the desert when they come to China, so they don't ride horses, and camels are their mounts." Zhou Ji Nian went to lead him to give the little bumpkin a sense of security.

"Then what are they doing here?" Xie Ning asked curiously. He was also married to Zhou Jinian, and it was the first time he left Dajing Village. There are many things that the adults in the village have never heard of, let alone him.

"Come to run a business, they bring exotic specialties, spices, medicinal materials, jewelry, gourmet food, etc., in exchange for our tea, silk, porcelain, etc."

It wasn't until the barbarian leading the camel had gone away that Xie Ning looked away and flattered Zhou Jinnian, "I want to try barbarian food."

Zhou Jinian took him to inquire about it, and went to a shop run by a barbarian. There were raisins, hu biscuits, pancakes, colorful pastries, etc. that Xie Ning had never seen before.

As long as the little husband was interested, Zhou Jinnian bought some, and the small baskets were quickly spread out.Xie Ning was speechless, it cost three hundred coins for this little thing!

Why are barbarian things so expensive?Xie Ning broke off a small piece of naan and gnawed on it, but he couldn't even chew it.

Seeing him competing with a small piece of naan, Zhou Jinian gnawed until his lips turned red, with an unhappy expression of 'being cheated'.

"Is this still so expensive?"

"It's not the food that's expensive, it's the transportation costs. They came here on merchant ships with goods, arrived in Fuzhou, and then trekked to this place. Some rode camels across the desert, arrived at Luoyang, and then turned here. The journey was arduous. , These manpower and time costs make it expensive."

Xie Ning slurred the word "Ah" a few times, and looked at this small piece of naan, which was finely ground with his small white teeth like gold.

Does that mean that the chili sauce and steamed dried eggplants he made can be sold at a high price?

The streets of Fucheng are indeed lively, and there are many rich and powerful people. In one street, Xie Ning has encountered sedan chairs twice, with two strong men carrying them, and a servant walking on the ground beside them.

The sedan chair carried by two people has no compartments, and one can clearly see the sitting person, dressed in satin, the luster of silk catches the eye, wearing jade beads around the neck, and gold thread is outlined on the shoes on the feet.

Xie Ning glanced at it, then went to watch other activities, and was surprised at the same time, it turned out that compared to the town where he had to buy firewood himself, Fucheng could sell everything for money!

This stall sells soy sauce, and there is a big jar filled with salty sauce. The person who comes to buy passes the bowl, and the stall owner uses a bamboo spoon to fill the bowl, and the person takes the bowl back and puts it back in the basket. Cover and go.

There are also those holding or holding children, standing in front of a large bowl, which turns out to be sugar stirring, and two bamboo sticks go down to spin the thick syrup a few times, which is very sweet and very popular with children.

There are other weird gadgets, many of which are made by the people in the village or town by themselves and are self-sufficient.But in Fucheng, as long as you are diligent and willing to work, it seems that everything can be sold for money.

Zhou Jinian saw Xie Ning staring at the food, so he wanted to take someone to eat, "Are you hungry? There is a roast duck restaurant in front, do you want it?"

Xie Ning nodded, "Yes, go to the vegetable market after eating, the small bamboo basket is not full yet."

He doesn't like to eat home-cooked food when he spends money to eat out. He can make meat stew, stew, stir-fry, and stew by himself, and it's his own family's taste.So when he goes out, he likes to eat delicacies that he doesn't know how to cook. Ji Nian knows him well.

The interior decoration of the roast duck restaurant is exactly the restaurant style that Xie Ning likes, dine-in on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor.

Seeing Ning Lang turning his head and looking around, Zhou Jinnian simply went to lead him away.

"You two gentlemen, this way please." Xiao Er, wearing a short shirt and trousers that were convenient for work, led them to sit down at a table next to the wall.

"I'll order the dishes for you two. Our signature Jinling Roast Duck. If you like soup, you can cook duck soup with mushrooms..."

Xie Ning only wanted to eat roasted duck, so he ordered Jinling roast duck, and the waiter continued, "Our roast duck is all fat, and there is soup from the duck rack. There are only two of you, so if you can't finish it, order another one." A small stir-fry is fine, if there is not enough for the two of you, order more."

Finally, I ordered sweet and sour fish and stir-fried seasonal vegetables. Xiao Er went to the back kitchen to report the dishes, and someone came to serve tea immediately.

There was no one at the table, Xie Ning said: "No wonder this roast duck restaurant is famous, it really saves us."

Zhou Jinnian helped him roll up his sleeves, and also praised, "This restaurant is firstly characterized by roast duck, and then it is characterized by exquisiteness. It is in the food business. The taste is delicious and authentic, so it will naturally become famous."

Xie Ning nodded. The roast duck waited for a long time, and the store also sent a plate of fried peanuts. You must know that it costs three pennies to buy a plate outside.

When the roast duck was on the table, Xie Ning knew why Xiaoer said he was afraid they would not be able to finish it.

A large plate of roasted duck meat, a bowl of duck rack soup, a large plate of roast duck sauce, shredded white onions, shredded cucumbers, a plate of piling up noodles, and a signature dish will almost fill the table.

The thin, almost transparent lotus leaf pancake was rolled with shredded green onions and cucumbers, plus fat and lean roasted duck meat, smeared with a salty sauce, the duck skin was crispy and the duck meat was tender, Xie Ning was very satisfied.

Sitting on the first floor for dine-in, you can also take a look at what other tables are ordering. Knowing that the must-order table is Jinling Roast Duck, it seems that this signature is well-deserved.

Xie Ning also began to think of signs for his goals, how about he open a whole fish feast?The signature is grilled fish?

With a basket of vegetables and food in his belly, the two returned home.

During the day, Lin Jin also went with her husband to hire two servants, a man named Shitou and a girl named Luhe.

"What did you buy here?" Lin Jin asked the basket handed over by his husband.

Xie Ning took the vegetables out, and kept the ready-to-eat ones in the basket, "I don't want to eat anything, I'm greedy to buy something strange, Dad will try it."

Dad likes to eat raisins, and my father likes to eat pancakes. He used to farm, so he likes to eat these really chewy things.

……

In the afternoon, Xie Ning went to the kitchen to make dinner. He bought fish and planned to make grilled fish.

The luckiest thing about him is that whenever he has an idea, Zhou Jinnian will support him [-]%, stand behind him and overcome all difficulties to support him.

It is very important to have someone to support and encourage. Zhou Jinnian gave Xie Ning confidence, he is not afraid of failure and dares to try.

Xie Ning cleaned the fish, rubbed the whole head and tail with salt and pepper, stuffed the belly of the fish with sliced ​​ginger, scallions and spices, and then grilled it on a brazier.

Who knew that he was grilling by the brazier, but the fish was still not cooked, and the surface of the fish was burnt black. He was so angry that he had to call Luhe to help him light the fire, and re-adjust the seasoning to make fish stewed tofu.

I don't want the fish to be grilled first and then boiled, it is even more delicious, and the tofu is even more spicy and delicious.

Xie Ning saw that his family loved it, and his brother scooped up the soup and bibimbap, so he said, "I'll make it again tomorrow, Dad, help me think of more flavors, I'm going to open a whole fish banquet restaurant!"

Zhou Jinnian also ate more, since he raised this little fish at home and ate aquatic products almost every day, his memory has improved a lot.And this grilled fish stew is really delicious, the meat is fresh and tender, without a trace of fishy smell, and the taste is spicy and layered.

Hearing what Xiao Fulang said, he laughed and teased, "Full fish feast? I have a big appetite."

Lin Jin gave his "no way" son a look, and coaxed the nearest Jin Baobao, "A big restaurant? Okay, Ning Lang has ambitions, dad will give you some advice."

He also hoped that the family would earn more money, and that if they had a family business, they would be able to adopt a child from the side of the Zhou family, so that they would not be treated badly.

Afterwards, Zhou Lao’s three families ate grilled fish for four or five days in a row, spicy grilled fish, chopped pepper grilled fish, sauce-flavored grilled fish, and garlic-flavored grilled fish. The first two are spicy and the latter two are salty.

There is still a whole year before the rural examination, and Zhou Jinnian is not in a hurry. During the day, he takes the stone to the street to look at the shop, and the husband and wife divide the work and cooperate.

At the end of June when the lotus flowers were in full bloom, Zhou Ji Nian went back to Dajing Village.The harvest of rice and fish farming is very good. The fish loosens the soil, saving the hard work of plowing the land on Thursday; it also saves land, fertilizer, etc.; the fish eats the chironomus larvae on the water surface, and also protects the rice.

Finally, a double harvest of fish and rice will be achieved.

Zhou Jinian was a scholar who was able to meet the county magistrate. After explaining the situation, he took the county magistrate to Dajing Village to see the harvest, and wrote a detailed manual for rice and fish farming.

The magistrate of the county walked around the rice paddies and ordered the officials to salvage fat fish to see. He was full of praise, "The chief of Zhou's case is really a blessing to Qingshui Town. I will explain this farming method immediately."

Pointing to the acre of rice, he said, "If you can achieve such a situation, it will be a bumper harvest. At that time, I will report it to the court and I will reward you."

"My ancestors have farmed for generations, so that the farmers can have a good harvest. This is what students should do." Zhou Jinnian is modest.

The village head of Dajing Village on the side was also greatly praised for this. After sending off the county magistrate, the village head stayed for Zhou Ji Nian for dinner.He was very excited. If there was a bumper harvest this autumn, his Dajing village would be the wealthiest village in the surrounding area. As the village head, he would have an honor.

Now when the villagers get together, they have to discuss one or two things, "Why do you think this scholar is so powerful? If he is able to write and go to the fields, there is really a golden house in this book?"

"Hey... that's not everyone can get gold, there are three scholars in the old Zhou family, look at the other two."

"So it makes sense for the older generation to start a family and start a business."

"It's still Xie Jianing, Brother Wangfu..."

Every family in this family praised Zhou Ji Nian, but the old Zhou family was sour, and Zhou Boss and Zhou Lao Liu quarreled!

What is the reason?Both families want to be Zhou Jinian's book boy, Zhou Wenshu and Zhou Jinian are about the same age, so it's not impossible to be a book boy.

There are quite a few people in Liufeng's thirties this week, and he also wants to go to the government to study with Zhou Jinnian, but he has already passed the examination of scholar, so he must not be ashamed to serve his nephew, what should I do?

Zhou Jinnian drank a few glasses of wine, but he was not drunk. The village chief sent him out, but his uncle's family blocked the door.

Zhou Jinnian resolutely pretended to be drunk, dragged the village chief and sent him to the home of his father-in-law Xie Dashu.

In this way, early the next morning, he was still blocked at the gate of Xie's courtyard.

Zhou Jinian borrowed the yard of his father-in-law's house and made it clear to his uncle's family, "Brother Wen Shu hasn't married yet, and if he delays his schooling, he might ruin his life's major events. Don't panic, Auntie, let's tell Brother Wen Shu about the marriage. I also got married with Ning Lang, so my luck changed."

What he said seemed to be modest, but in fact, he made the eldest daughter-in-law Zhou angry, so Xie Ning should have been her son from the beginning, this incident... It's a pity, as the villagers said, Xie Ning is really prosperous!

Zhou's daughter-in-law was furious, she couldn't help smiling, she couldn't keep asking, she turned around and went out of Xie's yard to find a matchmaker.

The daughter-in-law on Saturday was very happy, thinking that her husband could go to the government to study with her, "Isn't it! Ji Nian, don't worry about delays when your sixth uncle gets married, I'll go back and pack your sixth uncle's burden."

Zhou Jinnian said unhurriedly: "Aunt Six, hurry up, the carriage arrives at [-]:[-], and I have to go to town."

He was confident that his sixth uncle would never wrong him to be his nephew's book boy, so why didn't he accept it generously?

As he expected, Zhou Laoliu and his wife quarreled again. Since Zhou Jinian said last year that he learned the secret recipe of steamed eggplants from a book, Saturday’s daughter-in-law has looked down on her husband in every possible way. Hardened.It's a pity that she is a woman, and she hasn't learned any skills, so she can only take advantage of whatever loopholes she hears.

This has caused her to make a lot of big and small jokes in the past six months. Saturday Feng is also very irritable. In the past, his wife talked nonsense, but he was fine if he ignored it. Now, it’s not enough to ignore it. Make fun of him!

In the past, when the sauce pot was upside down, he just took a look at it, but now everyone is forced to help it up!He is a dignified scholar, alas, I feel sad when I mention him.

"Your nephew is also a scholar. He is a good cook and works in the fields. He even passed the test! What about you? What's wrong with being a book boy? He's your nephew, how dare he order you around?!" Saturday The daughter-in-law wiped away tears anxiously.

"Women! I am a scholar! Going to be a scholar for a scholar? What does this sound like?" Saturday Feng was also full of anger.

"What's wrong with the scholar? You sit in the study every day, and you keep saying that you want to take the exam for Master Juren. Isn't it for your own good?"

"You! Women are hard to raise, I won't tell you." Saturday Feng flicked his sleeves to drive her out.

Since he was a child, Saturday Feng watched his older brothers plowing the fields under the sun and working hard. At the beginning, he really wanted to get fame and glory, but the failure of the exams year after year let him know that fame is not so easy. !

But he didn't want to go to farm after the exam, how tired he was!In order to escape the hardships of real life, he can only die on the road to study and test his fame. In this way, he does not need to farm or do housework. He reads the novels every day to make dreams come true, and occasionally attends a literati banquet to eat and drink. , Hugging left and right, how happy?

"Saturday Harvest! You are trying to kill me! Does this family spend money on food and drink? Although you are a scholar and exempted from corvee, does it cost money to hire people to farm? How can our family earn money? Will we still eat next year? gone?"

After finishing speaking on Saturday, Saturday's daughter-in-law violently shook off Saturday Feng's hand pushing her out, and yelled.

It's really too difficult for her. She washes and cooks, takes her son to serve her mother-in-law, and even chains her son to do some small business to sell during festivals. In this world, how can she, a woman, support her family?

Only now did she know that her mother-in-law was right not to separate the family before, and the family had taken advantage of it by not separating the family, but her husband persuaded her to split up, and now the whole family is supported by her as a woman.

"Then sell the land, no one will plow it, and the grass will grow if you keep it." Liu Feng can only use his status as the head of the family to suppress his wife.

"If you continue to make trouble for no reason, the family law will take care of you."

Grandma Zhou listened beside her, and for the first time she did not take the side of her youngest son. After the separation, her life became much harder.

It was also the first time she knew that being a scholar is not a big deal, that the sixth child is not a granary student, and there is no granary money to receive, except for being invited to preside over weddings and funerals of neighbors and folks, and drafting documents to earn some copper money, unless she opens a private school Find a library to accept a few students in order to earn some repair money.

It's a pity about the separation of the family. Everyone in the village felt that it was unethical for Liu Feng to split up when his elder brother had an accident, so no one was willing to invite him.

She is suffering, and only when she suffers does she know the suffering of her daughter-in-law.

……

Zhou Jinian went back to town in a carriage, and spent another night at his fourth uncle's house. On the second day, he received the shop revenue from his fourth uncle, and invited the well-known coachman, Xiaoliu, for dinner.

I negotiated with Uncle Fourth and Xiaoliu, the driver, to bring the fish to Fucheng at the end of the month, once a month.Xiao Liu naturally agrees, he can take advantage of his rest day to transport fish, and all the money he earns is his own, and this income can cover half a month's wages for him.
