Chapter 129 There are pigs at the foot of the mountain
After dinner, Chu Nanzhi washed some apples, bananas and grapes, put them into fruit trays and brought them to the living room for everyone to try. Then she returned to the kitchen to help Liu Yun clean up the kitchen.
When she just took the fruit, she discovered that there were two wild ginseng at the bottom of the gift box.
The wild ginseng was more expensive than the one given by the old doctor in the city. The ginseng had long and numerous whiskers. It looked like an old wild ginseng that had been around for a long time.
Taking another inventory of the wooden box, in addition to a hundred taels of silver, there were also twenty taels of gold, which turned out to be a huge sum of three hundred taels, which made her feel a little panicked.
Although this errand was a bit thrilling, fortunately, she managed to get through it. Shen Yang was not as overbearing as Taigong Zhao, and she always felt a little guilty for earning such silly and sweet money.
Liu Yun saw the discomfort on her daughter's face, and sighed while washing the dishes: "These wealthy families, when they are stingy, are not willing to give outsiders a sip of water, but when they are generous, it is scary, let's just say Shen When the mistress of the family was still alive, she would rather donate a lot of money to the Taoist temple than let the people in the clan take advantage of it."
"No wonder the head of the Shen family and the elders are willing to help Yang Xiaoniang and her son."
Chu Nanzhi suddenly realized that there is no such thing as unreasonable kindness in this world.
Liu Yun snorted coldly: "Who says it's not the case? Although the Shen family's family fortune is not as good as your uncle's, it is still the first in our Tong'an Village. The second wife of the Shen family has always been of the same mind as the Han family. The group of elderly people in their clan Naturally, we don’t want to see the second home owner benefit.”
"I guess so."
The mother and daughter were chatting, but Lin Ruixi, the second child, walked in quietly, holding a bunch of grapes in his hand, plucked one, raised his eyes and gestured to Chu Nanzhi: "Auntie, eat grapes."
"Give it to grandma first."
Chu Nanzhi lowered her head and looked at the cute little guy.
Erbao obediently walked to Liu Yun again and fed her grandma grapes.
Waiting for the two of them to eat the grapes they fed, Erbao suddenly asked softly: "Mom, if Erlang of the Shen family bullies brother Yunqing and his mother again in the future, will you help them?"
The sudden question stopped Chu Nanzhi.
She knew in her heart that this little guy cared about the young master of the Shen family, so she couldn't help feeling cold, so she replied smoothly: "Of course, your brother Yunqing is so good to you, why would I watch him being bullied?" .”
But after all, it is someone else's family matter. Children are innocent and straightforward and won't worry so much, but I have to worry more about it.
Liu Yun glanced at Erbao and said softly: "Your brother Yunqing is now the head of the Shen family. With the support of the clan, no one dares to bully their mother and son."
Also aware of the concern of the young master of the Shen family for these children, and seeing Erbao protecting the children of the Shen family in this way, Liu Yun suddenly had an idea in her heart, and said after careful consideration:
"Da Zhi, it's rare to have such a fate. I think it's better to wait until the Shen family's mourning period is over to find someone for my mother to go to their house to arrange a baby kiss for Er Bao and Yun Qing. What do you think?"
After a pause, she continued to talk to herself with satisfaction: "Although the Shen family has a fortune, it is just a merchant family after all. After the elder man recovers from his leg injury, he will definitely be able to return to the county government and continue his job. With Mr. Nie, With these two signs of Chang Lao, maybe he will have a better future in the future with such a marriage."
"Can't."
Before she could finish her words, Chu Nanzhi directly rejected her proposal.
Erbao Lin Ruixi couldn't help but asked curiously: "Grandma, if you decide to have a baby, will you be able to get married like your father and mother in the future, and then be together every day?"
"Yes, Erbao, do you like that brother of the Shen family very much?"
Liu Yun stopped what she was doing and looked at the little guy with compassionate eyes.
Erbao Lin Ruixi just kept giggling when she heard that. A pair of sweet dimples bloomed on both sides of her mouth, which was charming and cute.
Although she didn't say anything, she was already happy in her heart: Brother Yunqing was as beautiful as a god in the sky, and she had long wanted to see him every day.
Seeing the intoxicated look on Erbao's face, Chu Nanzhi felt inexplicably panicked, and quickly said to the little guy: "Erbao, go see brother Mu Ci and feed him grapes."
Erbao nodded obediently and walked out with a sweet smile.
When only the mother and daughter were left in the room, Chu Nanzhi's attitude immediately became more serious, and she said to Liu Yun in a serious voice: "Mother, the child is still young, so don't mention such things in front of them."
Although it was very popular in this era to get married by fingertips, set a baby, etc., she couldn't accept it.
How many marriages from ancient times to the present have become unhappy because of this bondage.
Furthermore, the quadruplets are too precocious, especially the eldest child and the second child. The eldest child has a keener insight into world affairs. It is a good thing to have a self-motivated spirit at a young age, but the second child is not even five years old.
It's really worrying to know so much about men and women.
After all, my understanding of worldly affairs at such a young age is too limited.
After thinking about it, she said to Liu Yun: "Lin Dalang will not agree either."
At the mention of Lin Jinxiao, Liu Yun's eyes suddenly felt cold, she sighed angrily, and had to give up the idea.
After tidying up the kitchen, the mother and daughter walked into the living room. Brother and sister Wei Ziqing already had the idea of saying goodbye.
Liu Yun hurriedly went to the chicken coop to catch two old hens and pack them, and then asked Chu Nanzhu and Liu Shuyang to pack some vegetables collected from the fields for the brother and sister to take home.
Wei Ziqing felt a little embarrassed to eat and get food. The nephew and aunt were pushing him at the entrance of the courtyard for a long time, but no one was willing to give in. Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to go forward and persuade him: "Brother Wei
, it’s also my mother’s wish, you can take it back, the hen will be able to lay eggs, and it will give Sister Nian a chance to replenish her health.”
As she said this, she couldn't help but look at Wei Nianyi, and said reproachfully: "Look at how skinny Nianyi is. You are not qualified to be an elder brother."
She knew Liu Yun's temperament and would rather suffer a loss than treat others badly. The two brothers and sisters brought eggs and such a big pig leg today. This woman must have felt bad about it.
After hearing Chu Nanzhi's words, Wei Ziqing looked ashamed and did not dare to give in anymore. He took the things from Liu Yun's hand. Thinking of the rumors that had spread in the village over the years, he thought twice and did not forget to warn him.
: "Sister Zhi will also live a good life with Brother Jinxiao in the future."
"Um."
Chu Nanzhi responded lightly, nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Wei will also treat that lady Xiaofang well in the future."
"I will."
Although the two of them knew everything about the past, they didn't mention it.
Watching the two siblings go away, Chu Nanzhi returned to the house and took Chu Nanxiang with her. The Chu Nanzhu sisters mysteriously went upstairs to the west wing.
Lin Jinxiao was leading the quadruplets to practice calligraphy in the room. The strokes of the last character in the names of Three Treasures and Four Treasures were relatively complicated. After recognizing them for a long time, they still couldn't read the characters. They were not familiar with the characters, so they all looked confused.
San Bao had a sad face, while Xiao Si Bao started crying in aggrieved manner.
Seeing this scene, Chu Nanzhi hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Si Bao, sat beside the bed and comforted him: "It's okay, we still have a lot of time to learn, and we will learn it sooner or later."
Sanbaolin Ruichong was still immersed in his own world, muttering to himself repeatedly: "Mountain pig, wild pig, there are pigs at the foot of the mountain, there are pigs at the foot of the mountain."
The three sisters didn't know what the little guy was talking about. Chu Nanxiang looked at Sanbao in confusion: "Which mountain has a pig?"
Chu Nanzhi thought about Sanbao's name and suddenly realized it. While wiping the tears of Sibao, he explained to Sanbao: "That is a sect at the foot of the mountain."
After thinking for a moment, she asked Sanbao again: "You worship Grandpa Nie and Grandpa Chang as your teachers, so what should you call them?"
"gentlemen?"
"teacher?"
Chu Nanzhi shook his head: "What if it's in a private school or an academy?"
"Grandmaster."
Sanbao replied excitedly.
"Yes."
Chu Nanzhi laughed happily: "Grandpa Nie and Grandpa Chang are both Grandmasters. They live at the foot of the mountain. They are highly virtuous and respected by others, so they are called Grandmasters at the foot of the mountain. Your father chose the name "Chong" for you because I hope you can do the same.
You can become a respected grandmaster like Grandpa Nie and Grandpa Chang, remember?"
"Shan Zong, Grandpa Nie, and Grandpa Chang are our grandmasters. They all live at the foot of the mountain, and there are grandmasters at the foot of the mountain."
Sanbao repeatedly associated his name with his two grandfathers in his mind, and it didn't take long for his name to be firmly fixed in his mind.
Then he looked up at Chu Nanzhi with clear eyes and said happily: "Auntie, I remember that if there is a sect at the foot of the mountain, it is respected. From now on, whenever I think of Grandpa Nie, Grandpa Chang will think of my name."
"Well, Sanbao is so smart."
Chu Nanzhi smiled and gently stroked the little guy's face. The little ones were actually quite smart, but they lacked the correct guidance.
