I farmed and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 39 Your name is Ye Ce

Jiang Zhi quickly explained: "Don't misunderstand the shop owner. Not long ago, two masters visited my concubine's house to ask for water. I learned that the two of them were from Liuzhou and Kaizhou, and they gave it to my son. After reading enlightenment books, I am curious about where Liuzhou and Kaizhou are."

"That's the way it is. From now on, my lady must not ask about the map in broad daylight. If someone takes advantage of it, I'm afraid my life will be lost." The shopkeeper lowered his voice to Jiang Zhi.

"Thank you for the store's reminder." After Jiang Zhi thanked her, she left the bookstore with a basket of "money" on her back.

She thought that she had money before, and she didn't lack money to spend.

When she entered the place of scholars, she instantly returned to before liberation.

The village school has to finish repairing.

The money is really not spent at all.

Jiang Zhi went to the dim sum shop to buy some dry pastries that could be stored. There was Aunt Xu's baked cakes next door, which smelled delicious, so she couldn't help but bought four.

Ye Erlang went into the butcher's shop with brown sugar on his back. Seeing that the pork was good today, he bought three knives wide, about five catties.

This is what my sister-in-law ordered.

If you come across pork with no smell, try to buy as much as possible, and then Erlang bought another piece of pork suet.

Jiang Zhi passed by the tailor shop, thinking of the piece of cloth at home, she and her younger sister took turns to work, and it had already been woven into one piece.

There are still some threads left, and they are woven together, ready to be made into cloth bags for Ye Erlang to go to school.

The family met at the gate of the county seat and rented a carriage to go back to the countryside.

Ye Heng was hugged in Jiang Zhi's arms, she thought sullenly, it can be said that she was bleeding profusely when she came out this time.

Later, I have to take a small book to keep an account.

Ye Erlang dared to let go of his tense body after getting into the carriage. He slowly took out the silk cloth that Wang Shiba had stuffed for him from his pocket.

On it are all the carpenter's handicraft drawings secretly drawn by Wang Shiba.

He carefully spread out the crumpled silk cloth.

Wang Shiba has a particularly good memory, he saw these pictures secretly, and then drew them bit by bit.

There are many rules in the carpenter's trade. It's not that the direct disciples can't learn them, let alone their two low-level apprentices.

If you are not a craftsman, you cannot become a direct disciple.

"Second brother, who is this?" Ye Xiaomei immediately saw what the picture represented.

"Hush." ​​Ye Erlang glanced at the curtained door of the carriage, and whispered, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

Ye Xiaomei immediately fell silent.

"Mother, I want to eat pancakes." Ye Heng said suddenly.

"Okay, Mom will get it for you." Jiang Zhi distributed the biscuits to the three children, one for each.

"Thank you sister-in-law." Erlang and Xiaomei said in unison.

"Family, why are you being so polite?" Jiang Zhi also took one herself, slowly gnawing on it.

When the biscuits are cold, they don't have the crispness, but the taste is not satisfactory.

Ye Heng looked at the pie that was bigger than his face, and for a moment didn't know where to start.

Jiang Zhi was almost amused by his expression, so she tore the biscuits into small pieces and gave them to him.

"When you see something too big to solve, you might as well see the big from the small, Brother Heng."

"Yeah." Ye Heng ate the biscuits, his two cheeks bulged like a hamster, extremely cute.

The carriage stopped in the town, and Jiang Zhi asked Ye Erlang to get off the carriage and go to the rice shop to buy a bag of flour and ten catties of brown sugar before letting the carriage continue to drive to the countryside.

The village school recruits students regardless of the season, as long as the school starts, they can go anytime.

But the village school is not located in the Yejiawan area, but in the middle of several villages, which can attract children from different villages to come to study.

Most of the students were sent by their families to be of mixed age. When they were a little older, about eight or nine years old, they had to go home to inherit the family business and help the family with farming and mulberry.

Only a very small number of families have money and can study until their teens.

Or you can take the county examination. Those with outstanding grades can become scholars and initially enter the ranks of scholars.

If you can't afford it anymore, you have to obediently go home to get married and have children.

The age of marriage in the Daning Dynasty was generally relatively early. Didn't the original owner marry at the age of 16?

Jiang Zhi thought of Erlang and her younger sister. According to the trend of the times, she had to find a husband-in-law for Ye Xiaomei and a daughter-in-law for Ye Erlang.

This is really difficult.

Or let them find true love on their own.

Sad people.

Marriage costs much more than Ye Dalang's funeral.

Jiang Zhi's road to saving money has a long way to go.

Ye family hall.

"Erlang, you have to go to study without a name. Your elder brother didn't have time to give you a name when he was alive." Jiang Zhi said to Ye Erlang and then looked at Ye Xiaomei: "Little sister will not be called you forever in the future." sister."

"Sister-in-law, do you want to name us?" Ye Xiaomei stared at a weed in the yard, as if thinking about something.

In her previous life, Chunxilou's mother asked a fortune teller to name her Caiyun. Her life was as dazzling as the morning sun and sunset, but the other side of Caiyun was fleeting.

So she ended up with such a miserable end in her previous life, is it also related to this name?

"Yes, a person lives for a lifetime, and a name is the imprint of a person's life in this world. When others know you, there is a high probability that they start by knowing your name. Names have many meanings. Although your elder brother usually everyone We call him Da Lang, but he also has a real name Ye Zhao, which was given to him by my father." Jiang Zhi explained.

"Brother's name is very good." Ye Erlang said enviously.

"If you don't mind, my sister-in-law will name you today. When you reach the crown or jiji, my sister-in-law will go to the ancestral hall and ask the clan elders to create a genealogy for you and use this name." Jiang Zhi suddenly remembered that none of the children in the family had yet registered The genealogy, according to the rules of Ye's ancestral hall, only those who survived to adulthood can be included in the genealogy, and the daughter cannot be included in the genealogy.

One reason is that the daughter will marry out in the future, and once married, she will have to enter the genealogy of another family. The other reason is that sons are preferred to daughters, and women are worthless.

Jiang Zhi hated patriarchal behavior the most.

She is now the elder of the Dafang, and she can be regarded as an elder in the ancestral hall, at least she can say a few words. In the future, she must reverse the trend of not using female names in the genealogy.

Erlang hurriedly said: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, sister-in-law's name must be no worse than elder brother's."

"Okay, you follow me." Jiang Zhi went into the room and took out "Thousand Characters" from Ye Dalang's bookcase.

"'The meritorious service is great, and the stele is inscribed. Fenxi Yiyin, Zuoshi Aheng.' These two sentences mean that those who have made merit, the country will record and commend their achievements, and their deeds will be engraved on the It will be handed down forever on stone tablets and metal vessels. Jiang Ziya waited for King Wen of Zhou in Fenxi, and assisted the Zhou Dynasty in conquering Shang Zhou and unified the world; Yi Yin became the prime minister of Tang and governed the Shang Dynasty very well."

Jiang Zhi looked at Ye Erlang and said, "Sister-in-law has not read many books, but sister-in-law wants you to be a person like Jiang Ziya and Yi Yin, so she chooses the first word of this sentence to warn you, I hope you will be more positive." Whip, do it in the direction you want, from now on you will be called Ye Ce."
