Chapter 16

After the full moon banquet, you can no longer be called Nannan, you have to choose a big name.

Those who have girls in the village are called Hua'er, Yue'er and the like.

Ma Changjiang thinks it is vulgar, and his daughter must choose a nice and catchy name.

He hadn't read the book, and he couldn't figure it out even after scratching his scalp.

After discussing with his wife, he took two taels of silver and knocked on the door of Ma Lu's house.

In the whole village, only Malu has studied and is a scholar.

He was a little embarrassed: "Village chief, it's time for my daughter to have a name, I haven't read a book..."

Before he finished speaking, Ma Lu understood what he meant and immediately agreed.

The village head agreed, and Ma Changjiang didn't delay. He went back and explained a few words before going hunting.

The ones in the field don't have much work recently, his mother can do it by herself, and he will make more money.

The concubines outside the king love to eat rabbits, but they are hard to catch.

Rabbits are timid and suspicious. They always feel unsafe after living in a cave for a long time, so they will dig deeper.

This is the reason for the three caves of the cunning rabbit.

Fortunately, he is also a veteran, and he caught three fat and big rabbits in a short while.

Tie up the rabbit, hold the ears and go back.

Putting the rabbit in a cage, he went into the river with those fish baskets.

Wang Yuan is paralyzed outside and needs eel blood, which cannot be delayed.

He was very lucky today, and he set three fish baskets, each of which was full.

Not only did he catch more than a dozen eels, but he also caught a basket full of crabs.

He remembered that steward Wang Wu said that his master loved crabs the most, and he didn't know if he could eat crabs with facial paralysis.

In less than half an hour, the two buckets were full.

Happily carrying it back, I put the crabs in a bucket alone, and kept the other fish together.

The reason why they separated was that he was afraid that the crab's pincers would kill other fish.

Wang Yuan has a tricky mouth, and he will not eat fish that is not live.

Here, Li Xueer has already prepared dinner, and specially made pancakes with oil residue.

One bite, the mouth is full of oil, crisp and dregs.

Ma Changjiang didn't have the trouble of naming, and he was eating at home with a smile on his face.

Ma Lu was bald. This was the first time he had given someone a name, and he read the poems and books for a long time when he returned home.

After thinking all night, I finally decided on the two names Shuyun and Sizhu.

Excitedly wrote it and showed it to Ma Changjiang.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Li Xueer playing with the children with a Malan flower.

Ma Lan's chubby little hands were clenched together like glutinous rice balls.

Grinning and giggling, his eyes are bright and energetic, big and delicate.

Like the orchid in the house, delicate and bright.

"The village chief is here." Li Xueer hugged Ma Lan and got up to greet her: "Brother Jiang went out to deliver fish, so he's not at home."

"This child is really well raised." Malu remembered that when the child was born, the child was thin and small, no bigger than his palm.

Now it is white and fat and pleasing to the eye.

"I've already thought about the child's name." Ma Lu pinched Ma Lan's little cheek: "How about a single name with the word Lan?"

blue?
Li Xueer doesn't understand, does her daughter-in-law want to be called Ma Lan?

This name is not very nice...

Ma Lu laughed knowing that Li Xueer had misunderstood and explained.

Su Xinqing embraces, good nights accompany the crescent eyebrows, empty valleys and orchids, the colors are charming.

It turned out to be an orchid orchid.

Malan, Malan.

Li Xueer silently recited it a few times in her heart, browning: "This name is really nice."

Malan also liked his name very much, and clapped his hands happily.

"She likes it too." Li Xueer grinned, "You will have a name from now on."

Everyone likes it, and Ma Lu is also happy, but after all, the man is not at home, and he doesn't like to stay for a long time.

Mrs. Zhao took a basket of red eggs from the house and stuffed them to Ma Lu: "This is a lottery, so don't take it away."

It is a custom in the village that the children in the family will give red eggs to the elders after the full moon, which represents prosperity and good luck.

A basket of eggs was worthless, so Ma Lu didn't refuse, and went back with it.

In the afternoon, Ma Changjiang, who came back from earning money, was also happy to hear the name.

He hugged Ma Lan and did not let go: "Lan Lan, can I call you Lan Lan from now on?"

After hugging Ma Lan for a long time, he excitedly said to Li Xueer: "Guess how much money I made today?"

"Ten taels?"

"wrong!"

"Ten taels?"

"No, guess again."

50 is wrong?

Li Xueer knew exactly what Ma Changjiang Chumen picked up.

Such an idea can make more than a dozen taels of silver, which is an eye opener.

How could 50 taels not be enough!

She was a little anxious: "Tell me, did you do something illegal?"

Ma Changjiang held the lady's hand in his palm and took out the money.

The silver ingots were shining brightly, and Li Xueer's jaw dropped in shock: "So much money?"

There are 380 taels!

Ma Changjiang held his daughter-in-law in his arms and told her what happened today.

In the morning, as usual, he went to where Wang Wu was in charge. The eel was still a tael of silver, and he bought 20 taels.

The remaining carp and crucian carp were sold for ten taels of silver.

But crabs are expensive. Steward Wang Wu was so happy to see the crabs from ear to ear.

To put it bluntly, there are distinguished guests in the mansion who are worrying about what to eat today, so he sent crabs.

Of the 25 crabs, one was sold for two taels of silver.

The lady in the mansion heard that the crabs he sent came out to meet him.

He also rewarded him with 300 taels of silver and asked him to give more in the future.

There are many gifts to be given near the end of the year, so let him prepare in advance.

"If someone offers it to you, you dare to take it." Li Xue'er was anxious: "Tell me, his family doesn't want to snatch her back."

"will not!"

Ma Changjiang is very sure that if the Wang family wanted to grab it, they would have done it long ago, so there is no need to wait until now.

Their family is busy with weddings.

"What happy event?"

Wang's eldest girl, Ma Yue, was taken by high-ranking officials in the capital and wanted to marry her as his wife.

"Get married at a young age?" Li Xueer's eyes flickered in front of her eyes.

The man's family is two years older than the elder girl, and they are here specially for engagement.

It is said that the big girl has a good horoscope, and her looks are a perfect match for his master.

"Is that a wife or..."

"Wang Yuanwai could let his granddaughter be a concubine." Ma Changjiang embraced his wife: "As a wife, you are a big lady."

For this engagement, the Wang family is busy going around.

Miss is engaged?
"I won't let her succeed!" Ma Lan recalled that gentle and firm voice.

She really wanted to see what her three older sisters looked like.

She was too young at that time to see people clearly, and she didn't know what the three older sisters looked like.

After the husband and wife said this, Mrs. Zhao, who had gone out to work, also came back.

He also held a root of wild ginseng in his hand, with thick fingers and long and dense beard.

"Where did this come from?" Ma Changjiang had never seen such a long wild ginseng.

Judging by the appearance of this head, it may be hundreds of years old. If it is sold...

"Pick it up."

She went to work in the field today and was weeding when she saw something like a dried radish lying on the ground.

When I picked it up, I found it was wild ginseng, so I pretended to be working all afternoon for fear of being discovered.

She didn't dare to come back until it was dark after everyone had left.

"Then how do we deal with this..." Ma Changjiang was in trouble.

He understands the reason why it is a crime to conceive a biscuit, and his family can't keep such a good gin.

"Isn't the big girl getting engaged?" Li Xueer's eyes lit up: "Give this to her."
