The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 is coming
Father Gu asked Li Langzhong to sit down for a while, and then ordered the eldest daughter-in-law who sent the baby back to bed to go and see, "Old man, go and see who it is?"

"Hey! Dad!" Fang Shi, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family, was feeling guilty and guilty.If the mother is not well, then she is really a sinner, the father-in-law will not spare her, and her eldest girl will be troubled, so he hurried to open the door.

He Shi of the second family curled his lips, thinking that you will suffer later.Even though he thought about it, when he calculated the ledger later, he was also worried that she would be punished accordingly. This mother-in-law is not very desirable.

When Fang opened the door, he saw a master in cassock.I saw that the master was dressed in cassock, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and the one who opened the door was a female benefactor, who gave a gift.

"Female benefactor, the old monk passed by here, I wonder if the benefactor can make it easier for the poor monk to ask for a bowl of water."

Fang hurriedly said: "Master, wait a minute."

"Master, which one is outside the door? But what's the matter?"

Fang turned her head, "Father, you are a master, come to ask for a bowl of water." Fang held the corner of her clothes and whispered back.

Old Master Gu took two steps forward, and saw a master wearing cassock outside the courtyard gate, and the cassock looked a bit worn out.

He looked at the sky again, and now the sky is slightly bright, about three quarters of Yin time.The master came at this hour, probably because he was hungry, or maybe he wanted to ask for alms.

Although the food at home is also tight, it’s okay to give two corn buns, not to mention that the daughter-in-law is still giving birth in it, so it’s just a blessing for the baby.

Looking back, I saw the second child sitting there looking at the door.snort!This troublemaker, her mother-in-law gave birth in it, but she didn't take it to heart at all.When he didn't know, the second daughter-in-law was already impatient sitting still!
Besides, the baby's mother's wrestling must have something to do with her this time. After the child is born, let the second child take care of her.Thinking of this, I also added a little anger in my heart.

"Second brother's family, go to the kitchen to get two cornbreads and a bowl of water." When He heard her father-in-law calling her, He had to stand up and go slowly, muttering as she walked, the family There's nothing left to eat, these two steamed buns are a solid meal!

The mother-in-law is used to being stingy, and only the men eat two cornbreads for each meal. When the women are not working in the fields, they only have one cornbread plus a bowl of black noodle soup with only wild vegetables in sight.The whole family can't get enough to eat, so they give it to outsiders.But when he rolled his eyes, he quickened his pace and entered the kitchen.

After entering the stove, He opened the steamer on the pot, and saw the steamed buns that hadn't been moved last night in the steamer.After hesitating for a moment, he checked that there was no one outside the door, and hurriedly stuffed two into his arms. After taking two, he felt that they were not enough, and wanted to take a few more.But seeing that the front skirt was a little bulging, it would be ugly to hold it again, so I had to put it down, took two, put them in a bowl, and scooped up a scoop of hot water.

Outside, Mrs. Gu heard Zhang Wenpo say that she wanted to boil boiled eggs in sugar water, so he hurriedly asked everyone to go to the kang in the house to get the key, open the cabinet, and get the eggs.

Don't worry about the old man, if he asks her to take two, she won't dare to take more. It won't work if the second daughter-in-law is changed, maybe she will hide several. Can you make up for it?
He saw the elders rushing in, holding two oval eggs in their hands.Yo!She was startled, and her big hand slapped her chest hard.

As a result, as soon as his hand touched the bulging area of ​​his chest, he immediately put it down again.Seeing that Fang didn't pay attention, he put the eggs on the stove and went to get firewood.

He's eyes were fixed on the eggs, did this old man get the hang of it?Or did he eat the guts of the ambitious leopard?How dare you take eggs while your mother-in-law is giving birth?
Then I thought, since I took it, why did I only take two?Want to eat alone?And the eggs are all locked in the cabinet in the mother-in-law's outhouse without a key, how did she get them?
"Sister-in-law, where did you get your eggs? Didn't you steal them while your mother was giving birth?" Mrs. He squinted at Mrs. Fang, dare to eat alone?
Frightened by what He said, Fang's face turned pale, and he quickly put down the firewood to explain: "Sisters and sisters, father told me to take it. How dare I steal eggs? Zhang Wenpo said that mother-in-law needs to eat eggs to be strong enough to have a baby. What's more, I didn't eat dinner last night!"

After hearing this, Mrs. He rolled her eyes, she really has the guts to be a sister-in-law!It turned out that it was cooked for the mother-in-law, and she is usually a boring gourd. Now she is so quick-spoken, she really knows how to pretend. Could it be that she looks honest, but she is a bad person?Hearing Fang's saying that he hasn't eaten dinner yet, he feels a little guilty when he thinks of the two buns in his arms.

Gu Laodi said that the master outside heard that there were two corn buns, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the benefactor, but there is a woman in the benefactor's house who is giving birth?"

Mr. Gu paused. Everyone heard such a loud noise, right?Isn't this asking knowingly?But thinking of having a child, my heart was raised again, and there was a bit of anxiety on my face.

"Benefactor, don't worry, but also congratulate the benefactor, and you will be blessed with Lin'er immediately. The poor monk sees that this son is very lucky, and he will be able to rise to the top in the future. He will be named a marquis and minister, honor his ancestors, and change the family for the benefactor's family."

"Really? Thank you for your auspicious words, master. If you can really do what the master said in the future, you will definitely go to pay homage to the Buddha."

Old man Gu only thought that the master came to beg for alms, and he had to say a few happy words, but he didn't take it to heart, and everyone thought so too.

However, the master took out something from the bag in front of his chest and handed it to Papa Gu. Papa Gu was puzzled and took a look. He saw that it was a half piece of jade pendant in the shape of a lotus. That's right, it's a bit transparent, but there are a few cracks on it, which ruined this fine jade.

Although Mrs. Gu didn't know the quality of jade, but the jade did look good, but there was a crack on it, it might be worthless, and it was only half a dollar.But why half a block?

"Master? This."

Several people in the courtyard rushed forward when they saw it. The second child, Gu Chengyi, glanced at the jade pendant and said, "Father, this jade is not worth much. It's broken like this, and it's only half a dollar."

Gu Chengyi was afraid that the master was a liar, and wanted to exchange a broken jade for money.

The master pointed to the jade, and then gave another gift, "Benefactor, this jade is for the little benefactor who is about to be born."

Old man Gu was in a hurry to refuse, but it was impossible.Although the jade is broken, it's still a good piece of jade. I don't know if it's worth much, but it's worth more than two steamed buns, right?
Seeing what Old Gu was thinking, the master said again: "Actually, it's not considered a gift. This was originally the little benefactor's thing, and now it's returned to the original owner."

Li Langzhong, who was sitting next to him, was a little surprised when he heard this.The monks don't tell lies, could it be that there is smoke rising from the Gu family's ancestral grave?Could it be that the old Gu's family is going to change their family?Amazing.This is the blessing of several lifetimes of cultivation!
The Gu family didn't believe it, but he did.Although he is a rural doctor, he also worked as a doctor in a pharmacy a few years ago, and he has seen more of the world than ordinary people.

Seeing that the master's demeanor did not look like a wandering monk who often came out to beg for alms, but he was not sure, the cassock was really worn out.

Papa Gu was even more confused, and everyone was also dumbfounded.At this time, Mrs. He came out with water and corn bread.When I walked over, I listened to it, and my eyes lit up, darling!Two nests for a piece of jade?What a deal.

Busy to go up to look at Yu, Mr. Gu knew very well the greedy character of the second daughter-in-law, and he was too busy to care about Yu, who the master said was originally the youngest son, and stuffed Yu into his arms.

Seeing this action, He paused, got it!Is this to guard against her?Ask the baby's father later, the family is so poor, if it's really a good thing, it's better to sell it for money.
