A bag of kimchi that used to cost two yuan has become an expensive side dish that costs one tael and two catties.

I remember it was said on the Internet that during the Jiaqing period, the price of one stone of rice was two taels in a good year, three taels in a bad year, and four taels in a bad year.

Even if we take the middle number three or two as an example, at that time one stone weighed 28 kilograms, that is, one or two could buy ten kilograms of rice.

The current price of rice is about four yuan per kilogram, which means that the purchasing power of one tael of silver is equivalent to 36 yuan.

According to such an algorithm, 18 yuan per catty of kimchi...

It's really "expensive"!

"Come on, let's eat. This kimchi was bought from a store in the North and South. When it reached a few hundred catties, people in Beijing could not buy it. This is from the middle of Sichuan." Wu Jun picked up his chopsticks.

Wu Youwei picked up a chopstick and ate it: "It's not much better than salted radish."

"Uncle can't even eat the kimchi from Sichuan, what else can I eat?" Wu Ying felt disgusted with this little uncle who was born in concubine.

He has no concubine brothers, only concubine sisters, but these two sisters are very strange to him, and he can't speak ten words all year round.

After getting older, all that was left was nodding and saying hello.

"I just think that this pickle is just a pickle that every household in Sichuan can make." Wu Youwei picked up a pickled bamboo shoot, which is hot and sour.

In winter, eating this can also keep out the cold.

"That's right, things are expensive away from home, and people are cheap away from home." Wu Ying emphasized the word "cheap".

Wu Youwei gave him a cold look, like looking at a kid who was messing around.

Wu Jun scolded unhappily: "How do you talk?"

He can embarrass this concubine brother, but his own son can't, even if he is a concubine, this is still his uncle.

Although everyone knows that direct descendants are more valuable than concubines, but on the surface, everyone must abide by the rules, and elders are elders.

The reason why unspoken rules are unspoken rules is because they cannot be put on the table!

Wu Ying curled her lips and remained silent.

Wu Youwei continued to eat slowly.

He wouldn't pretend to be a good person and say something like "I'm still a child", they are the same age!

It was the first time Wu Ying was reprimanded by her father in front of her concubine uncle, her pale face suddenly turned red!

But Wu Youwei didn't take it seriously, and didn't say forgive him, so he posted the father and son somewhere, and ate breakfast on his own.

Today he had a good appetite, ate an egg pancake, drank a bowl of corn porridge, and ate all kinds of side dishes and pickles.

Cucumber money pickles, he must ask the kitchen to send him this pickle next time.

Few people eat garlic eggplant, because the smell of garlic is too strong, it is not good to eat it early in the morning, unless it is at night, clean your mouth after eating, and then you can go to sleep.

Wu Youwei ate happily, but Wu Jun and the others ate so-so, and kept looking out. After eating, they bid farewell to the old lady again.

Mrs. Wu looked at Wu Jun and sighed: "Go ahead, the Chinese New Year is coming up in a few days, and we can't see the festivities at home, so the New Year's Eve dinner should be simpler.

Because of the filial piety period, let alone firecrackers during the New Year, even couplets cannot be pasted. If couplets are to be pasted in the second year, they must be written on jute paper. Only in the third year, after the filial piety period, can red be used. See festive.

"Yes, mother." Wu Jun cupped his hands, "I'll leave it to my mother to take care of the inner house."

"What do I have to work on? Your wife is taking care of it. Thanks to her, I can enjoy the happiness." Mrs. Wu gave Mrs. Wu a loving look.

Wu Sun bowed her head and said modestly: "That's what my mother-in-law taught me."

Then there was another round of motherly kindness and filial piety, which made Wu Youwei want to vomit, every time he did this, it was enough!

Come to pay your respects, this situation will happen twice out of three times, what does their mother's kindness and son's filial piety matter to him?

The original owner might be secretly sad and think of his mother who had passed away; but Wu Youwei would not, because he has a father, a mother, and a younger brother in modern times.

Because he was not in good health since he was a child, his parents worried a lot, and after having a younger brother, they still couldn't reduce their love for him. The original owner lacked love, but he didn't lack it!

After crossing over, he was extremely fortunate. He bought insurance, and the natural beneficiaries were his parents. He was not married and had no children. Therefore, no one could share his huge insurance money with his parents.

At that time, I just thought that there would be protection when I was old. His insurance money, except for major diseases, started to pay him monthly pension insurance when he was four years old.

But there are 5000 yuan a month!

The maximum insurance compensation is 200 million.

The minimum compensation is enough for parents and younger brother to live a good life.

He finally got the compensation from Lord Yan, and he survived the Ming Dynasty. Of course, he had to live well and live comfortably.

Go for a walk recklessly!

Who the hell is willing to watch such a boring scene?

Wu Youwei made an exaggerated repayment and rubbed his eyes.

The eyes are boring, the attitude is perfunctory, and the whole person looks lazy.

This made Mrs. Wu feel tight in her chest. Maid Wu felt very disappointed every time she acted like this, but since his father passed away, Maid Wu didn't care anymore every time she did this.

Now he looks even more impatient, what do you mean?

Don't envy?

Mrs. Wu was also a little tired from acting, so she simply waved her hand, and Wu Jun then took Wu Youwei to say goodbye, and walked out of the main room in the backyard.

But along the way, Wu Jun, contrary to his appearance when he came, seemed to have endless conversations with him, asking him what books he read recently?

Of course Wu Youwei answered the "Book of Filial Piety".

He also praised Wu Youwei for his filial piety.

Wu Youwei was a little surprised that he didn't criticize him?

Wasn't it because he didn't know what books he was reading before, or was he still pretending to be deaf and dumb?

But when an older brother cares about his younger brother, he, the younger brother, can't be "ignorant of good people", can he?

So the two endured their nausea, and along the way, they staged a scene of "Brothers and Brothers Congratulate", and Wu Ying, who came out with them next to them, turned green in the face.

When did his father care so much about this concubine little uncle?

If you want to talk about Wu Ying's opinion of Wu Maid, it's simply unbearable! !

Because they were both born in the same year!

They are all 15 years old!

This uncle was the same age as his nephew, and Mrs. Wu felt particularly ashamed at that time.

And Mr. Wu is particularly proud, because he is as strong as his son, but unfortunately, Wu Jun also thinks that this father is old and not ashamed, and even got drunk and forced a village girl who came to help him.

That village girl is going to die!

Her talented old father actually wanted to sue her!

If it weren't for the fear of affecting their reputation, the Wu family would never have allowed such a concubine to enter the house. It's really disturbing that a person who doesn't even have much "dowry" has a son.

Until the crossroad where we had to part ways, to the south of this crossroad is Wu Jun's territory in the front yard, to the east is Wu Ying's territory, and to the west is Wu Youwei's small courtyard.

After Wu Youwei said goodbye to Wu Jun, Wu Ying didn't greet him, and he turned around and left as if Wu Ying didn't exist.

After Wu Jun watched him leave, he taught Wu Ying a lesson: "What's the matter with you?"

"Father, my son doesn't want to salute to him." Wu Ying poked her neck: "What is he?"

"No matter what, he is also your little uncle in terms of seniority." Wu Jun sighed: "Now is not the time to touch him.

"I didn't want to touch him either. When I can take the imperial examination, I will definitely give you a Jieyuan test and let him know that the first son and grandson are different from his concubine." Wu Ying knew his father's knot, That's why I say this.

When Wu Jun was young, he also took the imperial examination. He wanted to be a man of both civil and military skills, but it turned out that he was not qualified. What is the imperial examination?Thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge. The exam is stricter than the current college entrance examination. Wu Jun was squeezed off the single-plank bridge without even being a scholar.

He didn't want to take the exam because of the number of times, anyway, he couldn't pass the exam, but because he failed every time, people he knew were a little gossip.

So just gave up.

But after the concubine was elected, the old man's ecstatic posture still made him feel uncomfortable, so he joined forces with his mother and wanted to send this concubine to be a son-in-law, but his father was furious...

No one knew that the reason why the second brother failed repeatedly back then was because he also failed repeatedly, the result of his mother deliberately doing it.

"I hope!" Wu Jun is actually not optimistic about his elder son, because the elder son has been in poor health since he was a child. He has grown up in the past two years, and he looks better. A serious illness every day.

He was afraid that he would not grow up and be able to support him.

Wu Ying also knew what his father meant, and opened his mouth to say something, but finally closed it, then said goodbye to his father, and returned to his yard.

He really wanted to say that he was fine, but his mother told him to pretend to be sick and show weakness.

Because every time his father saw him weak, he would feel guilty towards his mother. In his childhood memory, the several concubines were very arrogant, but now they are all as honest as quails.

Even if the concubine who enters the door is a little bit more arrogant, without the mother talking, the father will be the first to tolerate...

I didn't understand it when I was young, but as I grew older, I understood that this is a struggle between the mother and the concubines, and at the same time, it is also a means of protecting him.

Because of him, the backyard dominated by his grandmother has a place for his mother; because of his body, his father has been guilty of his mother for more than ten years; because of him, even when his grandfather was alive, he would still care about him.

It was because of his existence that my father didn't have any concubine sons, and the ones he had were all concubines...

Don't look at Wu Ying who is Mu Shaoai's age, but she is very disgusted with maids and the like, even beautiful maids with attractive colors. If they take the initiative to seduce him, it will make him feel sick. So, a maid is a maid, and servants are My servant, that day lily, was sent to the yard of that concubine.....

After the breakup, Wu Youwei went back to his small courtyard, but as soon as he reached the door, he met several people.

"Butler, why are you here?" Wu Youwei was taken aback when he saw the butler come out of his yard.

"Oh, the master ordered you to send something to the library." Seeing Wu Youwei, the housekeeper panicked, but then calmed down.

Wu Youwei glanced behind him one by one and knew something was wrong: "Come with you to deliver things, escorted by the nursing home? Is it real money?"

The butler blushed a bit: "Yes, it's real money, the master said, although you are a filial piety, your classmates have given you a lot of gifts, and you have to return the gifts, but the ones that are too cheap are not after all. The way of communication, so the master sent you 200 taels of silver, it is also convenient for you to buy some gifts.

"Our Wu Manor sent 200 taels of silver at our own house, and we still need to send a guard to follow?" Wu Youwei sneered, "Is this Wu Manor or a robber's den? Are you afraid that you will encounter robbers on the way?"

"I'm afraid of petty corruption." The housekeeper said with a sneer, "This is 200 taels of silver!"

Wu Youwei was even happier: "With 200 taels of silver, the head manager of Wu's mansion can risk his life to embezzle in the mansion? Have you been embezzled?"

The butler's face turned red when he was questioned.

How would he answer this kind of question?

"Master, you're back!" At this time, Wu Xu ran out with someone, saw the butler standing in front of Wu Youwei, pointed at the butler and said, "Early this morning, the butler broke into the house with someone. Come in, say to give you 200 taels of silver, but call

It's easy to open the door of the warehouse. "

Wu Youwei raised his eyebrows and looked at the housekeeper. He remembered that last night, Wu Jun and the others turned over this small courtyard, but they didn't enter the east wing, which was locked and used as a warehouse...
