I farmed and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 99 Additions to the Genealogy
Seeing that it was Uncle Ye, Jiang Zhi immediately welcomed him into the courtyard.

"Daughter-in-law Azhao, the old man is here today to inform you that there will be an event in the clan on the Lantern Festival, and that the family tree will be added and changed. You are the elder of Dafang, so you must be present. The clan's discussion means that your Gotta add a few lines to the family tree."

Uncle Ye tactfully expressed what he wanted to express.

Jiang Zhi is too powerful, it is a great honor for Ye Shi to receive the present's reward.Jiang Zhi herself is a talented lady, and her natal family is also a scholarly family, so the genealogy should not be too thin when you are in the book.

Then Uncle Ye conveyed to Jiang Zhi that she needed to express some of her experience in the clan council, so that the clan would also benefit from it.

This was not a difficult task for Jiang Zhi, Jiang Zhi readily agreed.

As for the addition of the family tree, it was done by Mr. Cun Xuexiu, so Jiang Zhi didn't need to worry too much.

Seeing Uncle Ye off, Ye Erlang jumped three feet high: "That's great, sister-in-law! Then future generations will know that there is a virtuous person in our Ye family, and our eldest family's status in the clan will be even higher, at least in Ye Family Village. Walk."

Jiang Zhi smiled, sure enough the power of the ancient clan should not be underestimated.

It's not that she became a feudal society when she entered the feudal society, but this is a trace of history. If she wants to make a success in Daning, it is not enough to fight alone, and nepotism is also very important.

Of course, she's not some kind of Virgin Mary Sue who doesn't ask for anything in return for helping others.

During the Chinese New Year, Ye Xiaomei seldom left her needlework to go for a walk by the river with the girls in the village, and even taught them how to sing.

"San Niang, how do you know how to sing so many beautiful songs?" Er Nizi asked curiously while holding Ye Xiaomei's hand.

Ye Xiaomei said the speech she had prepared: "I heard these songs in the county, and these songs are all famous lyrics. You also know that I go to the county town every month. I learned a lot of songs and libretto during this trip. Trendy."

"Wow, Sanniang, you are so amazing! Then you go to the county so often, doesn't your sister-in-law talk about you?"

"How could it be? My sister-in-law said that I can do everything I want." Ye Xiaomei couldn't hide the pride in her eyes when she mentioned Jiang Zhi.

"Is...really?" Qingcao suddenly felt sad, but she concealed it, and Er Nizi next to her was even more envious.

"Sister Jiang is really kind." Er Nizi said.

Their family is strictly controlled, and they can’t finish their daily tasks, let alone their own work. It is a luxury to go to bed after dark, and more often they work in the dark, and they have to be beaten and scolded if they can’t finish. .

I really envy Sanniang, my own mother died early, and my sister-in-law took care of her.Her sister-in-law is still so gentle and protective.

It would be great if they also had such a sister-in-law.

Ye Xiaomei is also well-informed, how could she not see what the two girls were thinking?
Suddenly she had a bold idea in her heart, recalling what her sister-in-law said before, the so-called women without talent are virtues are all farts, it seems that this world really treats women unfairly, and never even treats women as human beings .Why doesn't she do something that makes women stand upright?

She died once anyway.

After being reborn, do you still have to follow the character of the previous life, and only know those women's boudoirs or blatant flattery for the rest of your life?
"My sister-in-law is really good. On behalf of my sister-in-law, I would like to thank the two of you for your compliment." Ye Xiaomei first praised her own sister-in-law, and then asked Erni: "Erni, did your mother teach you sewing skills?"

"I'm already on the loom, and my family said that I will raise silkworms with my second sister-in-law this year." Erni looked at Ye Xiaomei with puzzled eyes.

"What about the grass?"

"I haven't. My mother doesn't have this ability, so naturally she can't tell me anything." Qingcao spread her hands, feeling very helpless.She didn't do any needlework, but in the early years she took care of raising pigs and chickens at home, and also took care of her younger brothers and sisters.

Now that her siblings have grown up, her grandmother doesn't let her do the work of raising pigs and chickens, saying that those things stink, and if she smells like pigs in the future, she won't be able to get married, so she was put into the stove house,
"In other words, you are not very good at it yet, especially Qingcao."

"Yes." Qingcao said without thinking.

In fact, after careful recollection, there is a trace of resentment in Qingcao's tone.

The Qingcao family is not as thin as the Ye family's big family. She not only has three older brothers, but also two younger siblings.There are a few uncles and aunts, sisters-in-law and aunts, and other than that, my parents and grandparents are still alive.

Prosperity is one thing, but the key is that the family favors sons over daughters, and Qingcao is in the middle, the one that is least valued.

The most embarrassing thing is that Qingcao is getting older now, and will reach her age in a year, and the family is looking for a husband for her.

How can a family like that choose someone who is really suitable for Qingcao?

Although according to folk customs, a generous dowry is required to give a daughter the face of being married, but this is definitely not done by a family who sells her daughter.

The so-called water poured out by married daughters, what they think is that women belong to other people's families anyway, so why invest so much?

Although Ye Xiaomei has never had such an experience, she can empathize with it.

"It doesn't matter, you can learn from me. My mother forced me to learn how to weave embroidery before she passed away. I can teach you." Ye Xiaomei said as she walked, "It is difficult for us women to walk in this world, and it is far less easy than for men. They If you don’t study to get fame, there are still many ways to go, we women are different, so I am willing to teach you embroidery, if you are not happy in your husband’s house in the future, you can rely on this skill to make a living.”

"Really, Sanniang?" Erni's eyes lit up, she could only weave on a loom, but Sanniang could embroider, and the cuffs of her clothes were embroidered with small florals, which made her envious.

There was a rule in the Daning Dynasty that the embroidery on the bodies of ordinary people could not be exceeded, so Ye Xiaomei only had a little embroidery on her clothes, any more would violate the laws of Daning, and she would be punished.

"I'll forget it." After thinking about it, Qingcao shook her head and said, "If my grandmother knew that I would come to Sanniang to learn weaving and embroidery, she would definitely think that I came to be lazy instead of learning weaving and embroidery."

Erni lowered her head and thought about it, she felt that her mother might not stop her, after all, this is what mother would not do, but Sanniang would.

Ye Xiaomei looked at Qingcao and said, "Isn't it okay to come to me for an hour a day to learn how to tailor clothes and make straw sandals?"

Facing Ye Xiaomei's sincere eyes, Qingcao hesitated.She really wants to learn, but her family may not be willing.

There is no way Ye Xiaomei can only let the two of them go back to think about it for a day, and then go to the riverside to reply tomorrow afternoon.

After Jiang Zhi heard Ye Xiaomei's idea, she didn't object, but she didn't support it either.
