Grandpa is not vegetarian

Mu Yunyi wanted to hang out in Gao's family, so he asked Gao Yichun about the population and income of Gao's family in advance. If he wanted to hang out in Wangcheng County, he had already figured out the general situation of Wangcheng County. This Jiang family is a big family in Wangcheng County, and their ancestors used to be ministers in the imperial court. Although the branch of Wangcheng County is a side branch, it has not had five blessings with the branch of officials in the capital. Ren's censor, now the head of the family is also a juren, and he will have a lot to do in the future. He is also one of the few well-known famous families in the county.

Therefore, when Mu Yunyi heard that he was the second young master of the Jiang family, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It's rare that you are so interested in my little craftsmanship. You love to listen to my books, and you come to support me in person. I thank you here first." As for the purse, I can’t sell it, because after all, I’m not an embroiderer for a living. Don’t worry, my lord. Listen to me. It’s true that I don’t sell purses, but I can give you one. You look at me, my lord. How about this?" He took off his twin purse and showed it to the other party.

Second Young Master Jiang took it and fell in love with it immediately: "Are you going to give this to me?"

Mu Yunyi smiled and shook his head: "It's not this. If you like this style, I can make a unique one for you. Can you tell me your birthday, not the year and hour, but just the month and day."

Second Young Master Jiang thought for a while, then came over to Mu Yunyi's ear and told the month and day. Although Mu Yunyi couldn't accurately calculate the conversion of the lunar calendar and the Western Yuan, he roughly knew that it was Aquarius: "Okay, tomorrow No, the day after tomorrow, my son will come again, and I will give you a purse in the shape of a vase."

Second Young Master Jiang's face was full of anticipation and regret: "I won't be able to come out the day after tomorrow, and I will ask Tian Lang to pick it up."

"Okay!" Mu Yunyi handed back the two taels of silver again, "Second Young Master, please take the silver back."

Second Young Master Jiang hesitated to take back the money: "My name is Jiang Yu, don't call me Second Young Master, call me Brother Yu."

"My name is Mu Yunyi. Brother Yu can call me Yunyi in the future."

After sending Jiang Yu out, Mu Yunyi went to the West Market again, saw the useful household items and bought some more, and bought an extra pack of brown sugar, and carried them back to the teahouse to pack up, then went to the West Market to find Uncle Niu and take the car back Home.

When he entered the hospital, he happened to see Gao Yiqing holding firewood, and when he saw Mu Yunyi coming in, he immediately called out joyfully, "Brother Yuanbao!"

Mu Yunyi saw that the smile on the child's face was so brisk, and it really felt like the haze of the past few years had been lifted.

"Why didn't you wear the new clothes I bought for you?" Gao Yiqing was still wearing the old clothes that had been patched in the past.

"I'll just wear this now, and save the one you bought for me for the New Year."

"What are you saving for the New Year!" Mu Yunyi also carried a handful of firewood into the courtyard with him, "I'll buy it for you after the New Year's Eve, and I'll buy you clothes for you to wear and put them in the house as decorations. Why don't you get a painting and put it on the wall, besides, your body is growing fast now, and you will become smaller after wearing it for a few months, is it because your brother won't let you wear it?"

"No, no, my brother said that the clothes are mine, and I can wear them whenever I like."

When the two entered the house, the stove was already on fire, and there was a coarse porcelain pot on the window sill. After opening, there was coarse salt in it.

"Why did you only buy salt? Didn't you buy other soy sauce, miso... soybean oil?"

Gao Yiqing was taken aback: "Soy sauce and soybean oil are very expensive. They are only used by wealthy families, and they are rarely used in houses."

There are two jars in the corner, containing sorghum rice and cornmeal respectively, and three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the stove.

Look at Gao Yiqing again, he is wearing last year's winter clothes, the child is growing fast, his wrists and ankles are exposed outside, there is not much cotton inside, but now it looks more and more stripped, hanging on his body, trouser legs and collar Two hands can be put in inside, some places are torn, there is not even a patch, you can clearly see the transparent lining, the shoes on the feet are also worn out, and the front of the left shoe has worn out a small hole. There were holes, and there were no socks, and the toes were faintly visible in it, and the child's face was red with cold, and his nose was dripping down.

Mu Yunyi found that it was too early to be happy, this family was still far from the well-off status in his mind.

After seeing him look around, Gao Yiqing stood there sullenly and silently, and asked timidly, "Brother Yuanbao, what's wrong with you? Did I buy something wrong?"

"No, that's right, you've done a good job, very good! Keep burning the fire, what's in the pot?"

"Hot water is boiling in the big pot, and the broth from last night is in the small pot. I scoured the sorghum rice and cooked it together."

"Have you stewed the bones you bought yesterday?"

"No, my brother said that we should finish the broth today and stew the bones tomorrow."

"It's done." Mu Yunyi didn't say anything anymore, and went into the room to look at Gao Yichun's injuries. The high fever has completely subsided, and there is nothing wrong with his legs. Gao Yiqing called hot water, and Mu Yunyi said while washing, " After I'm on vacation in a few days, let's go to the town to see Dr. Jiang for a review, and we can put our minds down completely when we're sure everything's okay."

After a while, the rice was ready, and everyone became a bowl of rice with broth and sorghum. Mu Yunyi saw that there were still a lot of meat in it. It was obvious that Gao Yichun and his brothers didn't eat much during the day, and they probably drank the soup. In the evening, I added water again, and my own bowl was full of meat pieces under the rice, while Gao Yichun's bowl only had a few pieces, and Gao Yiqing's bowl was pure rice porridge.

"Xiao Wu, give me your dinner." Mu Yunyi handed over the bowl.

Gao Yiqing retracted the bowl in panic: "What's wrong?"

"My bowl is not tasty. I want to eat yours. Why, are you reluctant?"

Gao Yiqing didn't know how to answer: "No, it's just my bowl..."

"What happened to your bowl? Is there meat hidden in it? I want to eat that bowl, bring it to me!" Mu Yunyi's voice became more serious.

Gao Yiqing had no choice but to pass the bowl over, Mu Yunyi took it, and then pushed his own bowl in front of him: "Eat it."

After eating, Mu Yunyi and Gao Yiqing washed the dishes and pans together. After cleaning everything, they locked the door and climbed onto the kang.

Mu Yunyi took out the book that he had copied during the day, it hadn't been bound yet, it was just sixty pages full of words.

Gao Yiqing crawled over to look curiously: "Brother Yuan Bao, what is this?"

"This one is called the Three Character Classic. I copied it in the city today. I said I would enlighten you and send you to study in the future. We can't break our promise. From today on, I will teach you how to read. When you finish reading the three hundred thousand, If you can write silently and explain, I will send you to a private school."

"Really? Brother Yuanbao, can I really study like the elder brother and the second brother?"

"Of course it's true! When did your brother Yuanbao lie to you?" Mu Yunyi took the first page, pointing to the Arabic numeral "1" and the uppercase numeral "one" on the footer, as well as the Chinese character "one" behind it. Said, "This is pronounced as one, and it is placed here to indicate that this is the first page. Let's look at it from the back to the front. The back is the formal 'one'. When writing in writing, it is more formal to use it, but it is very troublesome. If it is time-consuming to write one thousand and one thousand and so on when doing accounts, so I use one horizontal line instead. Most of them write like this now, but it is not convenient to write one horizontal line when doing calculations. I will learn to count later. When I taught you the quickest way, I just used this one to replace it, but you can see that the "one" is used at the end on my house deed and land deed, because it is not easy to be tampered with. Adding a horizontal line makes two, so when you finally get the account, you have to use the regular 'one' to summarize."

Gao Yichun and Gao Yiqing held the page of paper very reverently, then looked at the small "one" character below, and memorized it by heart.

"Now you are not required to be able to write, as long as you can recognize it, wait until you have finished learning the Three Character Classic and the Hundred Family Names, and then start writing when it comes to the Thousand Character Classic, but writing will also help your memory. I bought you a brush and will wait until tomorrow Please ask the carpenter in the village to build a kang table, and you can dip it in water and communicate on it, and when it’s time to learn the thousand-character script, I’ll bring back the inkstone and ink, and we’ll officially write on paper.”

When the two of them saw the brush, they were even more delighted. They both held it with both hands, carefully, as if it were some great treasure.Gao Yichun said: "Xiao Wu and I can just use one, you can keep this one." Gao Yiqing nodded fiercely beside him.

Mu Yunyi smiled and said: "I have already bought it myself. It is a rabbit hair brush, and it costs [-] cents apiece. This is the cheapest for you two. It only costs [-] cents apiece. Practice with it first, and learn calligraphy seriously in the future." , I’ll buy it for you again.” He picked up the first page and taught them to read, “Today is the first day, I will teach you to read this first page, and you will learn one page every day for two months. Finished. In the first month, we started to learn the hundred surnames. I read it today, and there are less than [-] characters in the hundred surnames, which is only half of this book, and we can finish it in two months." He broke his hands Counting with fingers, "After four months, it will be spring tomorrow. After planting the land, we will start to learn the thousand-character prose and start writing. Next year, we will thoroughly understand these three books. In the spare time, let's learn more. Tang Poetry and Song Ci, I will send you to a private school the next year and start studying the Four Books and Five Classics."

"Really? Is it really okay? Brother Yuanbao, can I go to the private school?" Gao Yiqing waited for the big clear eyes, couldn't believe it, and kept asking for confirmation.

"Of course! Brother Yuan Bao means what you say!"

Gao Yichun said: "It's fine to let Xiao Wu go alone. I will work the land at home and raise some chickens and ducks in the spring..."

"What kind of chickens and ducks are you raising? You two listen to me and go to study for me. It will be serious when you come back from the two scholar exams in two years!"

"Brother Yuanbao, won't you go to the private school with us?"

"Of course I won't go, but I also want to learn. When you come back from school, you have to tell me what the teacher said. If you can't explain clearly, I don't have to obey!"
