Grandpa is not vegetarian

Hearing Mu Yunyi's question, Gao Yichun silently put the burden he had brought back on the kang, and said sullenly: "If you don't do this, they might not know how to get ahead. When my mother passed away, my uncle would take care of it." I intend to move the two houses of our family over to build a new house for the second brother, and they will be more relaxed there. If I hadn’t hugged the infant Xiaowu and knelt at the door of Lizheng’s house to beg, the whole village would be full of uproar When I picked you up, I could only sleep with Xiaowu and me." He had no joy or sadness on his face, and he just said calmly, "I know all the relatives in our family best. They occupy the house and garden. Said, the real focus is on the [-] mu of land."

Gao Yiqing became anxious when he heard this: "Let's go down to the field to see, they really planted it first."

"Don't be in a hurry, we can't mess things up by ourselves." Seeing Gao Yiqing anxious and angry, he was about to cry. In the child's impression, the land is the lifeline, and if it is blackmailed by others, it will be like hell It's no different when it collapses, so I pulled him over to comfort him, "With me and your brother here, you don't have to be afraid of anything, brother Yuanbao assures you, even if they have planted the land, I won't let them occupy any of it. Cheap!"

After pondering for a while, he took his things to the west courtyard first.

The yard of Ma Le’s house is as big as Gao’s house, but the houses are quite different. This is the yard of Gao Shang’s younger brother, Gao Yichun’s uncle. He has three sons, two of whom died in corvee service, and one grew up to 13 years old. When he was seriously ill, the old couple sold their house and land to see a doctor for their son. At that time, Ma Tiezhu was separated from the family. Mr. Ma bought this yard for him with money and let him live alone here. The couple struggled for several years. The overturned house has three main rooms. Ma Tiezhu and his wife live in the east room with their daughter Ma Hao, Ma Le lives in the west room, the eldest son Ma Ben lives in the east wing, and the second son Ma Sai lives in the west wing. They have already married. She gave birth to a son before, and Mu Yunyi gave her a congratulatory gift of fifty coins.

When they arrived at Ma's house, Ma Tiezhu, his wife and two sons had all gone to the farm. Only Ma Le's sister-in-law Niu Shi and his elder sister Ma Hao were at home with their eldest nephew. When did you come back? Why didn't you send a letter in advance, and let the family prepare for it!"

Niu held the child and let everyone into the house, and let Ma Hao go to the field to call for people. After a while, Ma Tiezhu and Mrs. Ma came back, and when they entered the house, they pulled the youngest son over to look up and down: "Bi When I left, I became fat and pale, did you learn new characters after following Yunyi?" He thanked Mu Yunyi a thousand times, "I have to thank Yunyi for taking care of us, we don't know what to say Well, when you left, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar were all moved to our house. If there is anything there, just stay with the aunt, baby, go to Lao Zhao’s house to see if there is any fish ? I heard people say that he caught several fishes today."

"Ma'am, you don't need to go out to buy. We brought all the things in the city." Mu Yunyi bought a lot of gifts when he came out of the city today. There were wine, meat, sugar and tea. From Ma’s house, let Ma Le bring it here, nearly ten catties of pork belly, two grass carp, a bag of rice, and a bag of white flour. He plans to live in Ma’s house, so there are a lot of things for his house .

When Madam Ma saw it, she hurriedly said, "You gave these to our family? That's not okay. It's not easy to get some money from your child's family, and you live in a city where you have to spend money to buy a vegetable leaf." Inside, the fish can’t hold on, so it’s been made for everyone to eat in the past few days, and the rice and noodles will be brought back when you leave.”

"Ms. Ma, you can accept it. Otherwise, we will not feel at ease living here. We will have to live for less than half a month when we come back to tend the [-] acres of land. If you really don't want to accept it, we can only live here." Go back to the courtyard and fire yourself."

Aunt Ma just accepted it, and immediately put on an apron to cook. Taking advantage of this time, Mu Yunyi asked Gao Yichun and Gao Yiqing to deliver the gift to Uncle Niu. His family has no rice noodles, but still has shochu, dry tobacco, brown sugar, and tea. For four things, he knew that he was a little evil star and it was not easy to come to the door, so he asked the Gao brothers to send it, and took care of Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu for him.

He himself came to the west of the village with the brothers of the Ji family. The old man also went to the field with his eldest daughter-in-law and two granddaughters. Only the 11-year-old granddaughter was at home. Mu Yunyi wanted to chat with the old man. As for the child's study situation, he was not at home, so he had to let it go. After a short meeting, he got up and said goodbye, and then went back to Ma's house for dinner.

During the meal, chattering about the Gao family, I knew that Dou Jiao'e had a miscarriage a while ago, and it was said that the situation was quite serious. Gao Yizhi took her to the town for medical treatment, and stayed at the home of the second aunt, Gao Xueci. It has been two or three days.

But at the beginning, Mrs. Gao proposed that there were too many scholars in the big room, and she wanted to cut down two places. Gao Xuexin took one for herself, and promised to take the place of Gao Yiliang in the fourth room. Dou Jiao'e tried to help Gao Yizhi took it, and Gao Xuejie later made the two brothers take the annual exam, and whoever passed the exam was allowed to continue studying, and those who failed the exam went home to work in farming.

In the end, Gao Yizhi was hit by the double tricks of Mu Yunyi and Gao Yichun, and failed to enter the arena, while Gao Yizheng passed the county examination, and soon after returning home, he and his uncle Gao Xuecheng packed up and went to the mansion to take the government examination. If the government has tried it, it will be regarded as a child student, and then go to the province to take a courtyard test, and after that, you will be a scholar.The government test was held in April, so they were on their way in late March.

Gao Yizhi was not reconciled to losing the opportunity to study, and fought several times to no avail, so he wanted to occupy Gao Yichun's house to find his psychological balance. The old lady Gao only said: "You are not afraid of that little evil star, just break the door lock and go in. Already!"

Mrs. Gao also has her own plans. She has always been very talkative in the Gao family, especially after the death of Mr. Gao, she treated her sons and daughters-in-law in a humble and submissive manner, and she really said what she said.However, ever since Mu Yunyi came to Gao's house last year, she felt that her authority was being challenged, especially the two granddaughters-in-law, who were ready to move. Sturdy, the second grandson's daughter-in-law is insidious, if the two join forces to deal with him, it will be extremely bad, now let them fight on their own, and also establish their own authority, let them know that the future is in their own hands Yes, so no matter what method Dou Jiao'e tried this time, Mrs. Gao would not eat hard and soft, and she would not eat oil and salt, which made Dou Jiao'e, who always claimed to be resourceful, helpless.

She wanted to suppress Gao Yizhi and his wife, so she didn't object to them moving into Gao Yichun's house. Now that Mu Yunyi came back and smashed things in the house, she didn't care, and just lay on the kang in the back room with her eyes closed and rested.

Naturally, Mu Yunyi couldn't guess what Mrs. Gao was thinking, but she could also tell that the Gao family was not in harmony. Seeing that the people who went to the ground to dig stubble didn't put away the soiled bedding and broken pots and pans until it was dark, he felt more and more worried. idea.

In the evening, Ma Le went to discuss with his parents and elder brother, and proposed to learn from Mu Yunyi. Ma Tiezhu disagreed: "Our family has more than 60 mu of land, and in the future, we will give you [-] mu of land, which is enough for you to live on. , why bother to leave home and go out to read some books? Let you follow Yunyi to learn a few more words, it would be better if you can get a degree in the exam, and it will be good if you fail the exam. In the future, you will marry a wife and have children, and eat in the land This is the duty of our family members."

Aunt Ma was still hesitating, so Ma Le went over and begged his mother: "You don't know, Yun Yi is famous in the city, everyone calls him Mr. Xiao, even Master Ju Ren is friends with him, and he can make money... ..." He talked a lot about the benefits of storytelling, "You give me [-] acres of land, one year's profit, and Yunyi earns it back in two months..."

Ma Tiezhu's eyes widened: "Can he earn ten taels of silver a month?"

"It's not how!" Ma Le said, "Shang Yi learned from him, and now he's starting to talk about it, but in the past few days, several teahouses and restaurants have come to hire him, and the highest offer is a monthly salary. 15 The high price of taels of silver! Even if I’m not as good as Yun Yi, I’m not as good as Shang Yi when I’m taking ten thousand steps back. When I’m done learning, I can still get three or five taels of silver every month.”

Hearing what he said, the whole family finally began to fall in love. Although they didn't believe the sky-high price of the ten taels of silver, it was a fact that Mu Yunyi spent a lot of money, and the cost of clothing was not as good as that of many wealthy households in the village.

The couple asked what Ma Ben and Ma Sai meant, and they both said that it would be good to be able to learn a craft.

So after negotiating with Mu Yunyi the next day, he began to prepare for the apprentice banquet. Ma Tiezhu went to the town specially, bought a lot of things and came back, cooked a large table of dishes, just in time for old man Ji to come to visit Mu Yun Yi, when he came home last night and saw his two precious grandchildren, he was startled. He thought Mu Yunyi had chased him back, and he would come over after asking about the situation, because it was already dark and Mu Yunyi was It's inconvenient to live in Lao Ma's house, so that's all. This morning, I brought my two grandchildren, carrying a lot of potatoes, mushrooms and the like, and a pheasant that I hunted in the field yesterday.

Ma Tiezhu also invited his father Ma Laogen, eldest brother Ma Jinzhu, second brother Ma Yinzhu, his uncle Ma Fulu, also known as Lizheng, and several prominent people in the village.

When the selected auspicious time came, Ma Tiezhu asked Mu Yunyi to sit on the grand teacher's chair on the steps. Ma Le kowtowed to his teacher and offered tea to him. After talking for a while, I drank the tea, and then took out the three things I prepared in advance, the Xingmu, the handkerchief, and the fan, all of which were prepared in the city in advance, and Ma Le's stage name Ma Hexi was engraved on the Xingmu, The handkerchief was also embroidered in the same way, and the front of the fan was painted with galloping horses, and a small poem was written on the back.

Mu Yunyi said: "From today onwards, you are my second apprentice. These three things are my sect tokens. Your senior brother has them, and you also have them. When I accept other disciples in the future, I will give them a set. In the future You have left the teacher and left me to go out and set up your own family. If you meet someone holding this set, you will be a junior in this sect. If you have spare energy, you must take care of it. Only when you help each other in the same sect can we be in the same class. stand in this world."
