old lady in red

Shi Mei taught Jia Min the same way her mother taught her back then: sit cross-legged, with five hearts facing the sky, the dantian absorbs spiritual energy, and then the luck passes through the abdomen and returns to Niwan.

So back and forth cycle.

The so-called spiritual energy absorbed is just a conjecture.

Her grandmother said that in her imagination, a gust of qi flowed and circulated through the meridians of the whole body like blood.

It's just that the blood circulates through the heart, and the vitality circulates through the Niwan palace.

Grandma said that after the introduction of practice, there will be a clear sense of qi, and the introduction of practice will cleanse the essence.

However, Shi Mei has practiced for 30 years, and she has never felt breathless.I don't even know what washing the essence and cutting the marrow is.

The only feeling is that the running path is slightly hot, the body is good, the food is delicious, and there is almost no illness.

The rest are indifferent.

Shi Mei thought, let's do it this way, sister Lin's mother should have some fairy spirit.

The next day, the guests left one after another.

Three days later, Jia Jing and his wife left.

Jia Jing wants to go back to Beijing to sell the vacation.

Mrs. Yang wants to go back to Zhang Luo Jiazhen's little Dingli.

Shi Mei made a promise with Yang: "Next year when Brother Zhen gets married, I will definitely be there."

Although it is not appropriate for a widow to appear at a wedding.

However, Jia's mother has both sons and daughters, and she is super-grade, with luxuriant branches and leaves under her knees.

This kind of existence is like the consecrated Guanyin, a Quanfu person that no one else can invite!

Yang was overjoyed: "Then I'll wait for my aunt to make the bed for Brother Zhen."

From April onwards, the brothers Jia Zhu and Jia Lian officially became filial piety, and Shi Mei immediately prescribed meat for the two grandsons.

For breakfast, you must eat milk, eggs and red rice porridge.

Invigorate blood, qi and protein!

Four dishes and one soup per meal, three meat and two vegetarian dishes.

Big bone soup, beef bone soup, fish soup, chicken soup.

Duck and lotus root soup with fried scallions and shrimps, beef noodle, and crab feast are not allowed to be repeated every day.

Every time they ate, the mouths of the two boys would flow oily, and their stomachs would bulge like frogs.

Half a month later, apart from studying, the two grandsons followed Shi Mei around like a greedy cat all day long, smearing honey on their mouths, and only praised Shi Mei as a grandmother.

Jia Zhu walks quickly when she goes out every day, and dally when she returns home.

Wang's heart panicked.I feel that the husband is partial to the mother-in-law, and the son is also attracted by the mother-in-law.

Under jealousy, Wang felt that Shi Mei wanted to imitate the old Duke's wife, because she was afraid that she would rob his son of the right to raise him.

So he didn't let his son go to Rongqingtang to study and eat.

Wang's arrest of Jia Zhu, there is another reason that can't be said.

Jia Zheng would go home every now and then to teach Jia Zhu.

In particular, Jia Zheng decided to go on a study tour and added courses to Jia Zhu. After Xiaoxiang, the number of times he went home increased significantly.

Jia Zheng usually didn't stay overnight, and after teaching for an hour, he still went back to the cemetery.

Mrs. Wang just thought, as long as Jia Zhu is kept by her side.Didn't Jia Zheng and his wife start talking when they came home?

In early April, brothers Jia Zheng and Jia She went on a study tour.

Immediately, he fell down in anger: The Zhang family is nothing more than a sour scholar, and everyone in the Rong family regards the Zhang family as a treasure?

Her elder brother is an important minister of the emperor, and the Rong family didn't care about it. Could it be that their brains are broken?

Wang's calculation was in vain, and she hated her mother-in-law even more.

Jia Zhu was detained for the whole April and he was not allowed to go to Rongqing Hall.

When Shi Mei met such a happy daughter-in-law, there was nothing she could do.

Furthermore, the son was born to Wang, so she can do whatever she wants.

Although Jia Lian played tricks every day, he never left Jia Zhu in his three words, and wanted Shi Mei to negotiate with the Wang family and snatch her brother back to Rongqing Hall for dinner and study.

But Shi Mei doesn't want to mess with Wang, something you can't figure out.

In order to teach your son to be successful, have a happy childhood, and have a strong body, do I still ask you?

I'm just afraid of being sick?

No matter how Jia Lian's tongue shines like a lotus flower, Shi Mei will not interfere.

In early May, the weather was fine.

Shi Mei asked Jin Da to bring out some well-trained fillies and teach Jia Min and Jia Lian how to ride horses.

He also asked the scouts to teach Jia Lian how to bend the bow and shoot arrows.

Jia Lian studied and practiced martial arts. He was busy like a spinning top all day long, but his body became stronger day by day.

In June, Jia Lian was able to ride a horse alone and shoot arrows immediately.

Although it is only a filly, the bow and arrow are also very light.

However, Jia Lian galloped on horseback, drew a bow and shot arrows in a decent way.

Jia Zhu occasionally came to pay her respects to Shi Mei, her eyes glued to Jia Lian's bow and arrow, and she couldn't move her eyes.

The envy and disappointment in his eyes made Shi Mei feel distressed.

Of course, Shi Mei wanted to see if Wang was a qualified mother.

On a certain day in July, Mrs. Wang brought Jia Zhu to pay her respects.

Suddenly, he became indignant as if his nerves were touched.

Jia Lian is one year younger than Jia Zhu.

Before, Jia Zhu was a head taller than Jia Lian, and Wang felt very proud of it.

After three months of absence, Jia Lian suddenly jumped up, almost on the same level as Jia Zhu.

Jia Lian's complexion is rosy and energetic because of horseback riding and archery practice, like a horse that can't be tethered.

Looking at Jia Zhu again, she was overwhelmed.

Especially Jia Lian's way of getting along with Shi Mei made Wang even more jealous.

Jia Lian ran through the door, and arrived before anyone could hear: "Grandmother, grandson is back, please greet grandma!"

Next to each other, please greet Shimei Wang's Zhang's Jia Min.

It's like flowing clouds and flowing water, without any intention.

Then, Jia Lian slipped into Shimei's arms and sat down firmly, looking up and smiling like a flower: "Grandmother, grandson is hungry!"

Shi Mei was not angry, she stroked Jia Lian's head, "Go wash your hands and change clothes first."

Then, he ordered the girl and mother-in-law to put a table of snacks for Jia Lian to enjoy.

Looking at Zhang's Jia Min, and Rongqingtang's girls, they seem to be used to it.

Obviously, Jia Lian has always been so free and at ease in Rongqingtang.

Then look at Jia Zhu's reservations like a guest.

Wang's heart was really sour.

This time, Jia Lian invited Jia Zhu to the table to enjoy the food, and Mrs. Wang did not stop her.

Seeing Jia Zhu came to the table, Shi Mei hurriedly ordered: "Prepare a set of tableware for you, Master Zhuer."

Jia Lian usually eats cakes with silver knives and forks.

Eating while cutting, skillful and natural.

Seeing that Wang Shi became more and more jealous.

When I went back that day, Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Zhu for a long time, and finally said: "If you like to study with your aunt, you can go. But, every day, you have to find time to come back to see your sister!"

Jia Zhuru was amnesty: "My son goes to study in his grandmother's room during the day, goes to the school to practice martial arts, and must come back at night to accompany his mother for dinner, and teach his younger sister to read pictures, read and tell stories."

The next day, Jia Zhu dressed up early in the morning and came to greet Shi Mei.

Then, Jia Zhu bowed to Jia Min: "Auntie, can my nephew study at Auntie's place today?"

Jia Lian was very happy: "Okay, okay! Then let's go horseback riding and archery together in the afternoon!"

Shi Mei and Jia Min were both surprised: "Where's your mother?"

Jia Zhu blushed: "Mother agreed, but grandson won't be with grandma for dinner..."

Shi Mei nodded: "Well, Lian'er doesn't use it here every day, he can be anywhere he likes, and so are you."

Jia Zhu was afraid that her grandmother would be unhappy, and she didn't want her to be so kind, so she smiled brightly: "Thank you, grandmother!"

At the beginning of August, Jia Zhu returned to Rongqingtang to eat.

In September, autumn is high and crisp, and it is the harvest season.

Jia Zhu is also proficient in horseback riding and archery.

The ninth of September.

Ancestor worship ceremonies are held in the clan.After worshiping the ancestors, hunt in the afternoon.In the evening, there will be a harvest banquet, which is very lively.

Shi Mei was also invited and took Jia Min, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian to participate in the sacrificial activities.

Because the children are too young, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhang are worried about leaving them at home, and they are afraid of bumping into guests, so they both asked Shimei for leave.

Shi Mei couldn't ask for more.

She thinks she is very young, how pleasant it is to take Jia Min Qiuyou and pretend to be a big girl and little daughter-in-law.

Bringing two daughters-in-law looks old-fashioned and not free!

In general, the sacrifices in the clan are all men.

The harvest banquet in the evening is the time for the women to show their talents. The young daughters-in-law and the big girls of each household will contribute their special meals for the tribe to taste.

The big girl and young wife who have the best tea and dinner are selected.

Although no prizes will be given out.

However, after showing their faces at this harvest feast, the clansmen will look at them high.

When the clansmen hold weddings and weddings, the winning girls and daughters-in-law will be invited by every family to be masters.

This is a rare decent person in the countryside.

After the sacrifice, it was almost lunch time.

After lunch, it was time for field hunting in the afternoon.

The young and middle-aged men in the clan, as well as the boys who were older than Jia Zhu and Jia Lian, ran away cleanly.

The girls and daughters-in-law of the clan, those who are capable go back to prepare tea and rice, and those who are not confident will marry in the mountains and fields to pick up relics.

At this time, the general fields are harvested.

However, the crops will not be harvested so cleanly.Intentionally or unintentionally, some grains and wheat will be scattered.

These women went to rake peanuts, pick ears of grain, or go to the mountains to pick fungi and fruits.

Anyway, it's a harvest.

Shi Mei said to Jia Zhu and Jia Lian: "At night, other people's families have to contribute melons, fruits and delicacies. Our family has no land, so grandma depends on you. Whether it is wild game, or missing grain ears, peanuts, beans and sorghum, there must be Give something up.

Otherwise, our grandparents and grandchildren are embarrassed to taste other people's food! "

In fact, the clan will never invite them to taste it because there is no melon, fruit, tea and rice in Rongfu, but it is just Shi Mei's grandson.

This is also a kind of field survival training.

Also, wait for the two boys to get the food with their own hands, it will definitely be delicious to eat.

Shi Mei and Jia Min also wandered among the mountains and rivers on their fillies.

They are not in the mood for hunting, but then they go to the mountains and rivers to worship their ancestors and relax.Take care of the grandchildren by the way, don't knock your teeth.

Jia Zhu and Jia Lian were ambitious at first, thinking that field hunting could always catch some prey. As a result, the clansmen were so numerous that they rushed out.The big animals were scared away, and the small ones were robbed.

Want to shoot a bird, fly early.

He didn't touch any of the two hairs.

After the two discussed it, they were reluctant to go to the pond to shoot fish.

Then, he shot and shot and didn't hit a big fish.

Jin Da secretly helped them shoot two hares and stuffed them, but the two brothers didn't appreciate it.

The two said righteously: "Grandma said, no matter what flies in the sky, runs on the ground, swims in the water, or digs out the soil, we have to get it with our own hands. In short, we have to find a dinner with our own hands. If you can't leave your servants to serve you, you will become a waste!"

Jin Da was very ashamed to be sent here to teach Shi Mei: "I am ashamed, I am ashamed, my servant saw the young man working hard and kindly helped, but was taught a lesson by the young man."

Shi Mei smiled and said: "Very well, you can take care of them in secret, as long as they are not in danger and don't cheat, it doesn't matter if they can find food or not."

Then, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian rode to the peanut field to rake peanuts.

The two brothers didn't have the tools to rake the peanuts, so they certainly couldn't do it by hand.

The two had an idea, and saw that the girl raking peanuts was very envious of their little mare, so they discussed with others: "You lend us the tools for raking peanuts, and we will let you sit on our horses?"

There are very few children in the clan who can ride horses, and of course the children are willing to exchange.

It didn't even take the brothers to rake it themselves.As long as the two brothers let them ride around on horseback, they would be happy to exchange their peanuts, beans, wild fruits, and bird eggs with their brothers.

The two brothers were afraid that Shi Mei would be unhappy, so they raked the peanuts themselves.

When the sunset was all over the sky, the two brothers returned home with a full load.

There were two bulging bags of peanuts hanging on the saddle, weighing four to five catties.

Not to mention that the four grandparents and grandchildren are enough to eat, and Jin Da and his two apprentices are also enough.

Then, the two of them still had bird eggs, wild fruits, wild mushrooms, and yam eggs in their purses.

Jin Da had prepared an iron pot early in the morning, and dug it at the foot of the mountain with his two brothers. He cleaned the peanuts and yam eggs, and made a pot of boiled peanuts and a large bowl of boiled yam eggs.

Wild mushrooms and bird eggs are made into wild mushroom egg soup.

Shi Mei tasted the peanut and yam eggs, the original taste was really good.Shi Mei stretched out her thumb and praised the two brothers: "Oh, I'm so lucky, I can rely on my son to eat today!"

Jia Zhu and Jia Lian were so excited that they peeled the peanut yam eggs and ate them, each of them thought it was very delicious.

Then, Shi Mei took the two brothers and generously arranged the food at the harvest banquet.

When it came time to evaluate the food, the family selected the three most capable young wives.

The third master, Jia Daixing, has faintly become the leader of the clan.

He repeatedly invited Shi Mei to comment on the harvest feast.

Naturally, Shi Mei praised the new labor of the clansmen, although most of the clansmen no longer farm the land by themselves.

In the end, Shi Mei spoke highly of Jia Zhu, Jia Lian and the clan's children who participated in the autumn hunt.

"Whether you find a handful of peanuts, or hunt a small rabbit or a small fish, this is the result of your hard work. This shows that you have left your parents, at least you will not starve to death, and relying on your parents is worse than relying on yourself. We The Jia family is known as the heir to farming and studying, but it is actually a family of five. I am very happy to see that the clan members practice martial arts while farming and studying, and have not lost the skills that their ancestors relied on to make a fortune.

This is the sign of a prosperous family!

I hope that the men in the clan will continue to maintain their true nature of farming and studying. In three to five or eight years, there will be another Jinshi like the patriarch Jia Jing, or even Wu Jinshi in the clan.Don't make the mistake of eight-bedroom and five-bedroom again. "

Shi Mei's concluding speech received warm applause from the tribe.

Jia Zhu and Jia Lian stood on both sides of Shi Mei, their black eyes were bright, their faces were full of pride, how proud they were!

Grandma is so domineering!

The grandparents returned home happily.

Jia Min also showed a long-lost smile!

However, a letter from Ningfu in Kyoto completely ruined this joy!
