A lucky wife born again from a farm family

Gu Dashan's family didn't know what Shang Xiucai was thinking. They just thought that Gu Jinan wasn't good enough, so Shang Xiucai didn't accept him as his disciple. However, Shang Xiucai was willing to teach Gu Jinan, and the Gu family was very grateful.

Facing the gratitude of everyone in the Gu family, Shang Xiucai smiled and said, "No need to thank you, I am a cultivator. You can discuss it and choose a day to send Brother An to my house to study."

The matter of shopkeeper Tao inviting beggars to cause trouble was the work of shopkeeper Zeng and Zou Xiancheng. It would be better for An Geer to study with him as soon as possible. In this way, the Lu family and Zou Xiancheng would be wary and not dare to cause trouble again. Recruit to deal with the Gu family.

"We will take An Ge'er to your home the day after tomorrow." Gu Dashan was extremely excited. He originally wanted to take An Ge'er to your house tomorrow, but thinking about the preparations for the ceremony, he postponed the time for one day.

Shang Xiucai said: "Okay, then it's settled."

After talking about Gu Jinan, Shang Xiucai left with Ah Jiu.

Gu Dashan and his family sent Shang Xiucai out of their house. They did not return to the yard until Shang Xiucai's mule cart disappeared.

Nowadays, several families no longer grind spices at Gu Jinli's house. Instead, one family takes two spices and grinds them. After grinding, they bring them to Gu's house and mix them for Gu Jinli. However, the other families soon know that Gu Jinan is going to study with Shang Xiucai. thing.

The families were very happy and hoped that Gu Jinan would come up with a plan to protect them in the future.

Mrs. Chen was also very happy, but besides being happy, she was also very unwilling. She grabbed the eight-year-old Gu Dewang and beat him several times: "You are a good-for-nothing. You and An Geer were admitted to the school by Shang Xiucai. What? Shang Xiucai only accepted An Geer, but not you? Go back and grind spices for me."

Gu Dewang was afraid of Mr. Chen, so he hunched his shoulders and ran back to grind spices. He was very dissatisfied with going to school. What was the good thing about going to school? The word is like an ant, which makes people dizzy. He still prefers grinding spices to make tofu.

Gu Dexing was filtering soy milk at Luo's house and heard Chen's words. He felt very uncomfortable and felt that Chen was scolding him. He was so angry that he threw down the half-filtered soy milk and ran away.

"Brother Xing, where are you going? The work is not finished yet?" Gu Dafu shouted while carrying a bucket of soy milk, but Gu Dexing seemed not to hear and ran away without looking back.

Gu Dafu sighed, knowing that Gu Dexing wanted to go to school, but he refused to accept talented people, what could he do?

Gu Dagui on the side said: "Brother, there is also a private school in the town. Let's send Brother Xing to study."

They can all see that Brother Xing wants to study. When he was in his hometown, his father had high hopes for this nephew. He was sent to a private school from the age of seven until the drought in the northwest forced him to stop studying.

But Gu Dafu knew that his son was in trouble, and he would not go to another private school with a scholar in front of him.

"Let's take a look again." Gu Dafu said and continued busy with his work.

After Gu Dexing ran away, he didn't go home until dark. Fortunately, he didn't do anything stupid and was just sulking alone.

The next day, Gu Jinli did not go out to the stall, but made tofu at home, and asked Gu Dashan to take Gu Jinan to the town to buy things.

They wanted to buy a lot of things today, including a gift for Shang Xiucai, as well as pens, ink, paper and inkstones that Gu Jinan would use for school.

There are not many scholars in the town. There is a small bookstore in the back street, which sells pens, inks, paper and inkstones, as well as some common books, such as the Three-Character Classic for enlightenment, the Thousand-Character Classic, and the Analects of Confucius, the Book of Songs, and the Book of Rites. These.

Although there are only a few types of books and the paper is yellow, they are not cheap. An ordinary three-character classic costs one or two taels of silver.

After Gu Dashan asked about the price of the books, he wanted to buy two books for Gu Jinan, but was stopped by Gu Jinan.

Gu Jin'an said: "Dad, I don't know what my husband is going to teach me yet. Don't buy this book yet. We will talk about it after we meet my husband tomorrow."

After hearing this, Gu Dashan suppressed the idea of ​​buying books. After selecting in the bookstore, he bought a pen, the cheapest inkstone, two ink sticks, and ten pieces of yellow paper. He gritted his teeth and bought two more White rice paper.

Shopkeeper Tang of the bookstore knew Gu Dashan. The Gu family sold tofu. Recently, he often came to their bookstore to buy yellow paper, but this time he bought white rice paper. He couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Brother Gu, what's going on this time?" I bought white rice paper, which is not cheap."

Yellow paper is the cheapest, costing fifty cents a piece, while white rice paper is expensive, costing two hundred cents a piece, and is not affordable for ordinary people.

Gu Dashan said: "Brother An is going to school, so buy two pieces of rice paper to prepare. If your husband asks him to write an article, there is rice paper available." It doesn't look good if you use yellow paper.

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Tang was very surprised. The Gu family was on the run and they actually had money to send their son to school.

"Congratulations to Brother Gu." Shopkeeper Tang smiled and said, "Which gentleman did you worship? But you came to study in a private school in the town?"

Gu Dashan said: "I am worshiping Shang Xiucai from Shangjia Village. I will go to his home to study."

Shopkeeper Tang was completely shocked. He didn't expect Shang Xiucai to be willing to teach Brother An of the Gu family. This was really... He remembered the rumors in the town that a little girl from the Gu family saved the granddaughter of the county captain, and thus won the title of county captain. Adult care.

And the son-in-law of the county captain is a scholar.

From this point of view, the rumors were true. The Gu family was really lucky and had the protection of Jiang County Lieutenant and Master Xiucai.

The smile on Shopkeeper Tang's face grew brighter, and he said sincerely: "This is really a happy event. Shang Xiucai is really capable. If your brother An can be taught by Shang Xiucai, he will definitely be successful in the future."

Shopkeeper Tang said some good things, and when the final settlement was made, he wiped out the small change for them and only charged one to two to five hundred cash. He would not accept any more.

Finally, shopkeeper Tang gave Gu Dashan a pack of dried celery wrapped in yellow paper: "You must buy the gift of Xiuzhi. This celery is indispensable. There is no fresh one now, but I have dried celery in this shop for later use." , given to you."

Gu Dashan was very grateful and took the dried celery.

Gu Jinan was not that stupid person. He thanked the shopkeeper with a smile and said some nice words before the father and son left the bookstore to buy other gifts.

Gu Jinli ordered braised tofu and made soybean oil at home.

Making soybean oil is not difficult, just pick the beans, break the beans, fry the beans, make the cake embryo, and then press the oil.

The beans have been ground with stones a few days ago, and now you can start frying them.

She mixed vinegar and water for Cui, and helped order six pots of tofu. Then she built a simple stove with mud bricks outside the kitchen, took out an iron pot, lit a fire and heated the pot, then put the twenty kilograms of broken pieces into the pot. Pour all the soybeans into the pot and stir-fry over low heat.

The beans are broken and have small particles, so they are easy to fry. After two and a quarter of hours of frying, all twenty pounds of broken soybeans were cooked.
