A peasant girl

Chapter 204 Zhongju, treat guests to dinner

Jun smiled deeply, stretched out his hand and touched Anhao's head, but Anhao avoided it before touching it.

"Still touching, you are responsible for not being tall..."

She has always touched other people's heads, but now he dares to touch himself, and it's not enough to take advantage of it.

"Okay, I'm in charge."

Jun Shen said it so bluntly, but An Hao was a little uneasy. Does this mean that he will be responsible if he can't get married?

Jun Shen looked at Anhao, he didn't know what was going on in his head, so what if he couldn't remember, as long as he wanted to, he could do anything.

The carriage was driving smoothly, and the two chatted without saying a word.It didn't take long to arrive at the Rong'an Palace. Seeing the carriage stopped, Anhao opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. Jun Shen also jumped down behind Anhao.

Zhui Ming felt Jun Shen's gaze looking over him, and he wanted to cry, but he was driving this carriage much slower than usual.

"Go back quickly, pack up and go back early..."

Hearing An Hao's words, a smile appeared on Jun Shen's face, and after saying hello, he turned and walked towards the gate.

After Zhuiming drove the carriage into the Rong An Palace, he left quickly.

After coming out, he got into the carriage driven by Feihua. At this time, the street was very lively, with people walking around everywhere.There were also many more stalls than usual, and shouts were everywhere.

"Today is the first day of July, and the list will be out soon."

An Hao listened to Fei Hua's words and smiled, I'm afraid it will be late today.

"Let's go, let's go to the grocery store first." An Hao thought for a while, and said to Zhui Ming outside the carriage.Now that she is ready to start cultivating white fungus, she still has to buy what she needs first.

Zhui Ming heard An Hao say to go to the grocery store, thought about it, and drove the carriage to the street ahead, but he knew one.

After arriving at the grocery store, An Hao got out of the carriage, walked towards the store, and looked around.

At this time, the woman who finished her work came to An Hao: "Girl, what do you want to buy?"

"Sister, how do you sell your soybean flour, sucrose, and gypsum?" Anhao said after looking at her.The woman was wearing a blue skirt and a small gown, her hair was casually tied up in a bun, her stomach was slightly protruding, and she was about 20 years old.She looks pretty, but she's a little thinner.

"Well, the soybean powder costs six cents a catty, the sucrose fifty cents a catty, and the gypsum eight cents a catty. Do girls buy them all? If you buy more, you can get a discount."

The woman looked at Anhao with a smile and asked.

"Well, then I'll buy [-] catties of soybean flour, [-] catties of sucrose, and [-] catties of gypsum." An Hao said to her after thinking about it.

"Okay, then I'll give you a penny and a catty for everything. Then wait a minute, I'll ask my husband to weigh you."

The woman finished speaking with a smile, walked into the room, stood at the door and shouted inside.

"Xu Lang come out and weigh the scale..."

Following the woman's voice, footsteps came from inside after a while.A man about seven feet tall and with a yellowish appearance ran out. He had a smile on his face, but there were a lot of sawdust on his body.

After listening to the woman say what An Hao wanted to buy, he started to get busy, and within a short while put everything An Hao wanted into an oilcloth bag.The two couples weighed themselves up.

"I've weighed everything here for you. It's a total of [-] Wen. If you want to buy anything in the future, come to us and we'll give you a bargain."

The man smiled and finished speaking, took the money, and helped An and them to load their things into the carriage.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Anhao and Feihua got into the car after putting away the things. After thinking about it, Anhao asked Zhuiming: "Zuiming, do you know where there are tools that can drill wood?"

"This, the blacksmith shop should have it, let's go and have a look first."

As Zhui Ming said, he turned the horse around and ran towards another street.After a while, they came to a shop called Li Ji Blacksmith Shop.

"Little girl, what are you going to buy?" The old man who forged black stopped his work, looked at Anhao and asked.

Anhao thought for a while and told him what she wanted.

"The one you mentioned, we have it here, and it's all in the house. This is called a dancing drill. The ones we sell here are deeper than others."

An Hao thought about it, and asked him to take it out to look at it, and finally chose ten, one for fifty, and ten for five hundred.Anyway, I have to buy it in the future, so I will buy it first and put it away.

Feihua couldn't help but feel a little strange looking at Anhao's purchase of these things. Did she buy them to drill wood, but what's the use?

Afterwards, Anhao bought some fruits and snacks, and some vegetables. After buying everything, she went back to the village in a carriage.

Not long after they left Yuehan City, the list posted here also came out.

An Dalang, An Sanlang, and An Shiro looked at the posted list together.

"Shiro, you have been selected as a scholar, and the position is quite high." An Sanlang saw An Yuzhu on the list, and pulled him to talk.

"You got the pass too, look at the following positions." Both of them became emotional because they passed the exam in one pass.

Hearing An Sanlang and An Shiro's words, An Dalang also rushed forward.When he saw the last few names on the list, An Dalang couldn't help jumping up.

Knowing that An Dalang has won Juren, both An Sanlang and An Shilang are happy for him.

An Dalang and An Sanlang hurried to call a carriage, and returned to the village in the carriage.The place Anshiro filled in was the braised goose shop in Yuehan City, so those who announced the good news would go directly to the Juewei braised goose shop.

After being admitted to Juren, An Dalang's overall condition improved a lot.

The carriage walked all the way to the village, and many people looked at it twice. After the carriage stopped, An Dalang gave the money, and the two got out of the carriage and ran towards the house.

In the yard, Fang Rong was teaching a few children to recite books.Andahu helped his father repair the fence, and later picked up the tiles on the house.

There are people brought by Fang Rong to cook and wash clothes. Jiang is like an old lady from a rich family. She walks here and there in the village when she has nothing to do, bragging with others.

Seeing An Dalang and the others come back, Jiang hurried back.

"Grandpa, brother Dalang has won the Juren, I have also won the scholar, and Shiro has also won the scholar..." An Sanlang ran in and said happily when he saw the old man An.

When the old man heard this, he dropped the tools in his hands excitedly. He stood up and looked at them and asked, "Really, that's great. You are a lucky star, the fourth son. Once you come back, all three nephews will win the prize." ..."

"Father, don't say that. Those who don't know think I'm cheating for personal gain. I didn't invigilate them this time, and other people read the test papers." It is not something he can do to select candidates, they are all selected by other invigilators.He can't write any good articles.

Hearing what An Dahu said, old man An hurriedly looked around. It would be very troublesome if it spread.

Only then did An Dalang and An Sanlang notice the Anda Lake on the side.

"You are, fourth uncle."

"It's been a long time. You've grown so tall. Not bad, you're capable." Andahu still praised them, after all, this person is not so good.

An Erlang also came out, and when he heard that they had won, he was also very happy.After walking over and saying a few words, he went into the kitchen to make tea for them.

Andahu introduced his wife and children to An Dalang and the others.

Jiang Shi heard what happened to An Dalang Zhongju outside the house, and when he came in, he hugged An Dalang and cried, saying that God has eyes.Hurriedly entered the house, and began to prepare for rewards. They finally settled down and felt proud.

Two hours passed and it was already noon.Preparations were already underway in the kitchen. Andahu sent people to Yuehan City to buy these dishes, and the family really didn't have much to eat.

After a while, the sound of gongs came from the village, and two men on horseback entered the village beating the gongs hung with red silk.After asking about the homes of An Dalang and An Sanlang, they ran over on horseback.

Immediately, rumors spread in the village that the eldest son of the An family had won the honor of Juren, the third man of the An family had won the title of scholar, and An Dahe also asked for leave and returned home.Many people in the field returned home, took things and went to the door to congratulate. The Su family also got the news. Accompanied by An Hao, they went to An's house together.

When Yun Zhengde learned that there was another Juren in the village, he also came to congratulate him.For a while, An's family was full of people, and many people went there, An Dahe was indescribably happy.

Seeing Su Shi and the others coming, many people gave way.

Mrs. Jiang watched Mrs. Su and the others come and brought things, but he didn't bother them.An Erlang saw that An Hao came back without incident, and he couldn't help wondering, how could this happen.

Now that the An family has money, the old man An saw so many people coming, and immediately stated that he would invite the villagers to dinner to celebrate An Dalang and An Sanlang's passing the imperial examination.

Both An Dalang and An Sanlang accepted Su's congratulations, knowing that An Hao's family is not easy to mess with now, An Dalang is not stupid enough to confront them now.Here, Yuen Long also fell for Tongsheng, and Anhao and the others also sent gifts.

Because he wanted to treat guests to dinner, Old Man An discussed with Yun Zhengde, and after discussing the lunch, Old Man An handed over money to An Dahu and the others, and asked them to help buy food.

The rapeseed and hickory here, Habayashi and the others are in charge of drying, the oil press is still working, and the rapeseed pressing has not officially started. After lunch, Anhao took them to the mountain. Yun Qingfeng went to Anjia to help in the afternoon. , Yunfan went to the mountain with Anhao when he had nothing to do, and didn't pack any sausages.

An Erya and An Sanya also followed Anhao up the mountain with their baskets on their backs, and Fengling also followed. After going up the mountain, they walked behind them and collected dyed flowers and plants.

Feihua and Zhuiming, Anhao left them at home, one was responsible for protecting her mother, and the other was protecting An Erya and An Sanya.

After getting used to the big girl, the people who helped Anhao's house were not so scared anymore.There are tigers going up the mountain with them, so they are also careful.

After the big girls went up the mountain, they ran up, and Suzaku followed them.

"Boss, what are we going to do up the mountain today?" Zhang Shan walked in front of Anhao, turned his head and asked her.Yun Fan and others also looked at An Hao.

Anhao thought for a while, then said with a smile: "I told you to bring knives, so naturally we cut down trees. Today we can cut down a lot of trees, and we only cut down trees that have grown for three to five years, such as tung tree, maple poplar, Liquidambar, Chinese tallow tree, duying, acacia, monkey earrings, and saltwood are all acceptable."

Hearing what An Hao said, everyone looked around, and after finding a tree, they began to cut it.

At this time, there was a sound from the forest above, and after a while, a few wild boars ran down chasing Xiao Bai.

"Master, master, look at a lot of wild boars, I've lured them out for you."

Anhao looked at the wild boars rushing over, and said speechlessly: "Xiaobai, you think I'm a god, so many wild boars, can I deal with them?"

After communicating with Xiaobai consciously, Anhao looked at the people around and shouted.

"You all hurry up to the tree..."

Xiao Hei, Da Niu, and Suzaku didn't know where they went.

As soon as An Erya heard it, she saw a wild boar not far from her, and hurriedly pulled An Sanya and Fengling up the tree.Compared to An Erya and Fengling, An Sanya was a bit clumsy when climbing trees, but luckily she climbed up.

Upon hearing this, Yunfan hurriedly called the others to climb up the tree. The wild boar looked bigger than usual and was very ferocious. After seeing it was safe, he attacked it.

Anhao took a rough look and there were five or six of them. She really wanted to kill Xiaobai. Where did this guy go if he provoked wild boars.

Fortunately, Anhao can fly, and when those wild boars ran over, Anhao flew up and landed on the branch of a tree.The few wild boars below collided together, and after several times in a row, these wild boars actually fought among themselves.

Seeing the wild boars fighting together, the people in the tree gasped. This wild boar is really ferocious.

After a while, they ran down from above, biting a roe deer and dragging them down.Xiao Hei was biting a fat yellow-gray rabbit that weighed seven or eight catties, and Xiao Bai followed behind Suzaku with a fat pheasant in his mouth.

"Master, you are amazing, so violent and bloody..."

Looking at the fallen wild boar, Xiao Bai was overjoyed. The wild boar's skin was too thick and kicked it hurt its feet. When it saw that there were too many people chasing it, Anhao lured it down.

The big girl dropped her robe, rushed in, and cleaned up the remaining wild boars in a short while.

This big girl is a tiger after all, it's so fucking cruel.

The people watching from above were all sighing, Feng Ling was also very frightened watching it, An Erya was much calmer, but An Sanya didn't dare to look at it and wanted to look at it, so she covered her face and took a few glances.

Seeing that An Hao and the others all came down, everyone else on the tree also got down.

"The wild boar just now looked so ferocious, but fortunately you know how to do light work, Master." Zhang Shanyi said that everyone around him agreed.

"It's always good to know how to work hard. The tree will be chopped down later. Let's carry the wild boar back now. Everyone will have meat when we go back."

Except for An Dahe, there are 29 people who press rapeseed here.Hearing that Anhao said that everyone was very happy to divide the meat, after all, they didn't do anything.

As the wild boars were carried down the mountain, many people saw them.

After returning home, Anhao left a few people to clean up the pigs at home, and didn't let Suzaku go, but asked them to take care of the pigs at home.An Erya and the others went back to make dyed flowers and plants, so they didn't follow. Feng Ling saw the scene just now, and didn't follow.

Taking advantage of the good weather, An Hao wanted to cut down more trees, but the trees they cut were not big, and everyone's speed was much faster than before.

Some are responsible for chopping, and some are responsible for carrying it back.

When they saw that the setting sun was about to set, they carried the cut trees down the mountain.After all, it was a bit of a delay today, so it was not enough for Li Anhao, and I just waited for tomorrow to continue cutting.

All the trees cut today are piled up in the yard of Anhao’s house.

Let them all wash their faces and hands, and then went to the workshop together, where the pork was processed.By the time Anhao and the others passed by, all the pigs had been cleaned up.

"Everyone has worked hard recently. Uncle Zhang will wait for you to count the servants and share the three wild boars."

"Understood, my boss..." I am really lucky to have such a good boss.

The people working in the workshop, knowing that there are wild pork parts today, worked harder and harder one by one.After the people are counted, the meat will be divided here. After all the parts are finished, when they get off work, each person will take a big piece home.

There were still three pigs left, and Zhang Shan cut off another leg according to what An Hao said, and someone helped him send it to Andahu.Anhao asked Zhang Shan to cut the remaining half of the pigs into strips, throw them into the box, and move them all back home.The remaining two ends are also cut out, but the cutting method is different. Put lean meat in a pile and fat meat in a pile.She planned to decorate the two ends with sausages to eat at home, or give them away, after all, wild game is rare.

Li Xiaoyue's condition has also improved a lot. Thinking that she can make money and get money after she gets married, Lin's heart is much more balanced, and she is no longer so mean.Thinking that the family can get dozens of catties of meat today, Lin is very happy.

Mei Ling and Lan Xin were sweeping the yard, while Yuzhu and Feihua followed Su Shi for a walk in the yard. Seeing someone coming in from the kitchen, Su hurried over and saw An Hao in the kitchen There is meat hanging in it.

"Big ya, why do you have so much pork? By the way, when you were not at home in the afternoon, a letter came from your aunt's house, asking us to visit them tomorrow. Your eldest cousin won the exam, and you six Uncle was also selected as a scholar, so he simply managed it in one place."

Seeing the boxes of pork, Su couldn't help being a little surprised, and Yuzhu was also a little surprised, isn't it usually put in the workshop.

"That's right, we have to go. Didn't we go up the mountain to cut trees today, and then we met wild boars and were killed by the big girl, and then we carried the wild boars down the mountain. Then, I After thinking about it, I distributed some meat to the workers in the workshop, and took some home for us to eat by ourselves."

There are really many people who passed the exam this year. It is possible that the court is short of people, and the questions are easy.In other words, there are more talents this year than in previous years.

Da Niu and Xiao Bai also just came back from playing, when they heard its name, they rushed over in a hurry.They started rubbing around Anhao, as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"This is terrible. You have to be careful when you go up the mountain in the future. Fortunately, there is a big girl, otherwise it will be troublesome."

Knowing that it is impossible for Anhao not to go up the mountain now, Su can only tell her to be careful.

"Mom, I know. Tonight, let's make something else to eat. Feihua, you have to help me, go and chop a bamboo first, and come back, peel some more bamboo sticks, I will bring them to skewer later."

After hearing this, Feihua nodded, picked up a hatchet from the kitchen and walked out.

"Mother is very bored all day, either embroidering or walking around. Is there anything I can do to help." Su Shi said standing behind Anhao.

The eldest girl saw that An Hao was busy, so she ran out to play with Xiao Bai and the others.

After Yu Zhu came in, she sat on the side and picked vegetables with Hui Xin and the others.

"Mom, I bought bananas and apples today and put them on the table in the living room. Why don't you go wash an apple and eat it first. Eating more fruits is good for your skin in all aspects. I'll wait for Feihua to come back here before you It can help me."

An Hao smiled, looked at Su Shi and said.After hearing what An Hao said, Mrs. Su went out of the kitchen to wash apples and eat them.

After hanging up some meat, Anhao began to cut the meat, which was a bit fatter and thinner.One pot for the fat and one for the thin one, thinking that her mother can't eat spicy food, An Hao cut out two small pots and made some non-spicy food for her.

At the workshop, Habayashi and Yukaze had already packed the dried rapeseed and hickory nuts into different bags.According to what An Hao said before, they put them in the room next to the workshop. After locking the door, they went home first.

When they came back, Feihua had already chopped the bamboo back, and they were peeling bamboo sticks with Anhao.

"Master, what are you doing? Can we do it?"

"You guys go to the kitchen to get the knife..." An Hao saw Habayashi asking, and said with a smile.

With their participation, a lot of bamboo sticks were peeled out in a short time.Here, Mei Ling and the others also finished sweeping the floor, and followed Su Shi over.

After they came over, An Hao went to the house and brought out several pots of mixed meat, and after letting them wash their hands, everyone sat around and put on meat skewers.

They were still skewering, Anhao had already taken the skewers into the kitchen, and Yubayashi also ran over to help start the fire.

I haven't got a grill yet, so I'm going to make kebabs tonight.As the fire slowly fried, the meat skewers in the pot also exuded a strong fragrance. Xiaobai and the others stopped playing wild outside after smelling it, and ran back directly, guarding the side.As soon as Anhao blew up some, they were scraped by Xiaobai.

Suzaku didn't like to eat much at first, but now she ate a lot with Xiaobai and the others, and her stomach got bigger.

After making a plate this time, Anhao brought it out to Su Shi and the others first, and asked them all to taste a little.The golden-yellow meat skewers are fat and thin, and they are particularly fragrant when bitten. I don't know what An Hao added to them.

After teaching Huilan and Huixin in the kitchen how to make kebabs, Anhao went outside, and she skewered the meat before she finished skewering it.

When it was getting dark, the workshop here also started to eat.

An Erya and An Sanya were almost too busy here, so they came back from work.As soon as she got home, An Erya smelled a scent, ran in quickly, and learned that An Hao had newly made meat skewers, so she quickly picked up a skewer and started eating.

"Eldest sister, your meat skewers are really good. It looks like you want to eat it, and you want to eat it even after eating it."

When An Erya said this, Su Shi and the others couldn't help laughing.After the fried skewers were made, the cooking and eating started inside.

Seeing that An Hao's family sent a pork leg, which was still for An Dahu, old man An felt a little bit blocked.Andahu treats their family well, so she treats them well, and they used to treat them like that, so there is nothing.

Jiang Shi didn't take it seriously, but felt that An Hao's family saw that Da Lang had passed the exam, so they came to curry favor.

In the early morning of the next day, An's family was busy. Anhao ordered someone to bring a gift there early in the morning, and asked the person to tell An Dahu that they couldn't come today because of something.After hearing this, Jiang shi yelled, "What's so serious about it? Is it important to have her precious grandson?"

After the family affairs were done, Anhao's family got into the carriage, accompanied by Yuzhu, Feihua and Zhuiming, and Lin Cheng was driving the carriage.

Suxiu's family is not as far away as Su's family, and it only takes ten miles to get there from Yuehan City, but the land is located on the back of the mountain, so the road leading to their place is bumpy all the way.Fortunately, An Hao listened to what Su said before and made a cushion, which made it better.

The place where Su Xiuniang married is called Qingshan Village. The reason for this name is because their village is backed by mountains, and there are greenery in all seasons. Doesn’t it look like a stretch of green hills?

There are only 83 households in the village, with a population of more than 200. In this way, there are only three people in each family, which can be said to be a little small.

Walking through the bamboo forest path, I saw children running around on the grass.

As the carriage entered the village, everyone looked at them curiously. Many children even ran after the carriage. After all, they rarely saw a carriage.

Opening the curtain, An Erya looked around, she didn't have a deep impression of this place, because she hadn't been here for many years.

The women who were washing clothes in the stream below started talking when they saw the carriage coming.

Suxiu's family is the last one in the village. The house is an earthen embryo house, with one main room, three side rooms, one kitchen, and a wooden utility room. The yard is surrounded by bamboo fences, but it is so wide.

Before An Hao and the others got out of the carriage, Su Xiuniang and the others came out, and Su Heng and the others had already arrived.In addition, there seemed to be quite a few people in their yard, probably from the village.

After the carriage stopped, Lin Cheng and Zhuiming got out of the carriage first, and Fei Hua jumped out of the carriage afterward.After walking to the back of the carriage, Zhui Ming took the stool to the front and placed it on the ground next to the carriage.An Erya and An Sanya got out of the car first, and Anhao got out of the car next, and when Su Shi got out of the car, Anhao supported her.After Yuzhu came down, An Hao handed over the Su family to her care.

Here, Feihua and Zhuiming followed Lin Cheng to find a place to tie the horse.After the horse was fastened, Wang Anhao and the others were chatting, and Zhui Ming and the others also sat on a rock beside them and chatted.

"Fourth Sister, Da Ya, Er Ya, San Ya, you are finally here..." Su Xiuniang greeted her and said with a smile.

"Fourth aunt, younger sister..." Sun Xiao and Sun Yun also called out.

Su Xiuniang gave birth to two children, one is Sun Nian who won the exam, and the other is Sun Xiao who is still studying. They are naturally much older than Anhao.

"Grandma, grandpa, aunt, first cousin, second cousin..."

"It's good that you are here, your grandfather has mentioned you several times." Liu Yushu looked at An Hao and the others and said.

"I chanted, but you didn't chanted."

When Su Heng said this, Su Xiuniang and the others all laughed.

Su Jinniang also came out from inside, she looked like she had come out of the kitchen busy, her body was covered with vegetable leaves.

"Fourth sister, you are finally here, you can have dinner after a while."

Su Yuniang was chatting with Su Xiuniang and the others, when she heard Su Jinniang's voice, she looked over and saw the boy standing beside her: "Second Sister, this is your little son, he has grown so big since we haven't seen each other for so long gone."

"That's right, he is Qu Yun, but the older he gets, the more stupid he becomes, and he doesn't even know how to call it when he sees people."

Su Jinniang introduced Qu Yun's servants again. He looked at them and took care of them, and called them in a low voice. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't have heard what he was saying.

"It's better to be bigger..." Su Yuniang said with a smile.

Su Heng also felt that this grandson was a bit of a headache, with such a timid temper, what should he do in the future.

An Hao couldn't help but sized up Qu Yun a few more times, he was quite shy, he was about 15 years old, he was wearing a blue robe, he looked good, and he looked like a nerd.Su Jinniang gave birth to two daughters before, and they are both married now, but they didn't come today.

Su Yueniang also came out with her two daughters, and said hello to Anhao and the others. After all, they hadn't left much for a few years, and they didn't have much impression of each other.Every family also has scriptures that are difficult to recite, otherwise there would not be so little contact, because if they are well, they will separate soon after returning.Now that the family is separated, Su Yueniang feels a lot more relaxed.

Su Yunniang and Su Tianlin went to Lincun to buy fish, but they haven't come back yet.

Su Jinniang's man Qu Dagui and Su Yueniang's man Deng Yuan went to Yuehan City to buy wine, and they should be back now.
