The ugly daughter-in-law of a peasant family wants to shake things up

Chapter 140 The irresponsible father

She raised her head and looked at Chen Wu: "Uncle Chen, can you make an ice mirror?"

"Bingjian?" Chen Wu wondered: "What is that? This is the first time I have heard of it!"

"Bingjian is a thing that stores ice cubes. Haven't you heard of it in Chang'an City?"

Chen Wu shook his head: "No, people in Chang'an City use ice cellars to store ice cubes. Rich families just make a wooden box like a honeycomb, put the ice cubes in a basin, and fasten the wooden box on top!"

"You can also put food and drink in the basin, so there won't be any delay!"

Jiang Ran snorted, then she held her chin and asked again: "Then if I can make something that is more useful than a wooden box and can keep the cold longer, will anyone want it?"

"Can Madam do it?" Chen Wu blurted out.

After he finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly lowered his head: "Madam, I said the wrong thing!"

"It's okay!" Jiang Ran waved his hand disapprovingly: "After all, Chang'an City has never thought of putting things there. If it were you, I would definitely be suspicious!"

Chen Wu felt relieved.

The previous master's family did not allow servants to question them.

If you say something you shouldn't say, you will be punished.

"Uncle Chen, do you think anyone can want it?"

Chen Wu thought for a while and then said: "There must be people who want good things, and maybe they can be spread to the palace. If Madam wants to go to Chang'an City in the future, she can take advantage of this opportunity to make her reputation known!"

"If Madam wants to stay in Shitang Village peacefully for the rest of her life, it's best to find someone to cooperate with!"

"The young master is a scholar. I heard from the old lady that the young master's legs are promising one day. If the young master continues to pursue an official career, the madam will have to think more clearly!"

These words reminded Jiang Ran.

There is no express rule in the Zhou Dynasty that family members who are officials in the court are not allowed to do business. However, if the family's business is large, it will at least attract impeachment, and at worst, it will attract the attention of the emperor.

If you do anything wrong, your life may be in danger.

Thinking that one of the Xie family was the future regent and the other was the future imperial master, Jiang Ran had no idea of ​​moving to Chang'an City.

If possible, she would rather move to the prairie and let the two people see the cattle and sheep.

"Uncle Chen reminds me that I need to think about this matter carefully!"

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen, you are busy first, I will go to the mountain to take a look!"

Jiang Ran continued to climb the mountain.

Two days ago, Dabai told her that Six-blooded Danwu was found on the mountain, and she was going to see if it was true.

"Dabai, why don't you leave?" Dabai took Jiang Ran to the place where Eclipta was found before, and stopped going up.

Dabai jumped onto a big rock: "Ancestor, a big cat came in a few days ago. The big cat was very unreasonable. I will find a way to collect the herbs. Ancestor, just wait here!"

"Okay! Then be careful!" Jiang Ran obediently waited for Dabai.

That big cat is no joke, that thing can eat people.

Jiang Ran held Xiao Lanlan in his arms and waited: "Xiao Lanlan, what do the male and female big cats look like?"

Little Lanlan wagged her tail: "Male, I heard that he came from another mountain and brought a kitten with him!"

"Still white!"

Yo heh.

This is still taking care of the family.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

Jiang Ran was glad that the big cat was not female.

Otherwise, the two of them will fight sooner or later.

Jiang Ran couldn't sit still and looked around. After looking around, he found many rare herbs.

These herbs are still too young and cannot be harvested until fall.

Once there is enough rain on the mountain, there will be more vegetation and animals. Jiang Ran walked around and found a lot of wild fruits.

Seeing several apple trees, pear trees, and walnut trees, Jiang Ran smiled from ear to ear.

With these fruit trees, we can take the three little guys to pick fruits in autumn.Children in the countryside should go down to the river to catch fish and go up to the mountains to dig out bird eggs.

These are all things Jiang Ran did when he was a cat.

Jiang Ran found a handful of red wild grapes and ate them while waiting for Dabai.

I saw Dabai bringing back a pure white cat.

Jiang Ran was scared to drop the grapes in his hand.

She looked at the still majestic Dabai in shock.

"Dabai, why did you bring back a big cat?" Jiang Ran shouted.

Dabai meowed: "Ancestor, it's not me who wants to bring it back, it's the big cat's father who forces me to bring it back, otherwise it will eat me!"

"No, why is his father so irresponsible? It is so easy to raise a child? He just doesn't want it when he says he doesn't want it?"

Jiang Ran has one head and two heads.

She can still handle raising cats, but she doesn't seem to be able to handle big cats.

Dabai was afraid of scaring his ancestor, so he stopped two meters away from his ancestor.

"Ancestor, his father just heard that you have become a cultivator, so he sent this big cat here specially!"

"His father also said that raising a child is too troublesome, so he might as well leave it to the ancestors, as long as the big cat lives!"

Jiang Ran: "..."

This is very demanding, okay?

If she had known that the big cat would tangle with her on her last trip to the mountain, she might as well not have gone up.

Seeing his ancestor's sad face, Dabai quickly asked the big cat behind him to spit out the greeting gift.

"Ancestor, look at this!"

Jiang Ran glanced at it casually: "Six-blooded Danwu? It looks very similar. Where did you find it?"

Dabai patted the big cat on the head with his paw: "In his father's nest!"

Jiang Ran chuckled.

Jiang Ran looked at the little guy who was as big as Dabai and couldn't describe his mood at the moment.

This thing was cute when he was a child, but when he grows up, he can eat people.

If anyone found out she had a big cat, she was sure she would be kicked out.

"Ahem..." Jiang Ran cleared his throat: "Tell your irresponsible father later that I can raise you for three to five months, but I won't keep you forever!"

"How can someone like your father find someone to raise him? Your mother is not afraid that I will sell you for meat!"

I don't know if the little guy understood Jiang Ran's words. He ran up to Jiang Ran and rubbed his furry head against Jiang Ran's legs.

Jiang Ran sighed.

On the way back, there was a big cat behind her.

"Sister, you brought back another cat? This cat is cuter than Dabai!"

As soon as Jiang Ran entered the courtyard, he saw three little guys playing in the courtyard.

Ah Chu ran over on his short legs.

He looked at the big cat curiously.

Ah Qing imitated her sister's example and stretched out her little hands to touch the big cat.

"Fat!" The little monk put his chubby hand on his chin, frowned, and said seriously: "This doesn't seem to be a cat, right?"

Xie Siheng, who was looking down at the book, looked over with his slender eyes.

"cat?"

Recognizing what the cat was, Xie Siheng put down his book and walked towards Jiang Ran: "Why did you bring a cat back? Do you know what this cat is?"

"You think I want to bring it back?" Jiang Ran said with a drooped face: "Its father threatened me. If he doesn't bring it back, I won't be able to come back. You tell me whether I can take it or not!"
