happy old days

Chapter 28

Walking back with San Auntie, the three women were holding baskets and walked slowly. Yingzi was not as shy as she was at the beginning, talking to Jin Niang, but San Auntie looked at them and smiled Hehe, he didn't make a sound.Just now, Jinniang heard that the third aunt was discussing with her cousin about being a matchmaker for her youngest son.It seems that this means that you have found someone, and the happy event is about to happen.

A group of people came from a distance, all riding tall horses, and the speed was not satisfied at all.Jin Niang looked at those people who seemed to be dressed as officials, and wondered what they were doing in this small place.

The third aunt's face changed when she saw it and pulled the two back to the side of the road. The three lowered their heads and hid from a distance.But the soldier who didn't want to run in the front stopped in front of the three of them, "Where is the aunt going to Minshan Village?" The people behind the questioning room also stopped.

"Oh, if you want to go back to Master Jun, go to Minshan Village and walk along the east road, just pass two villages." The third aunt hurriedly replied.

This time, Jinniang didn't dare to raise her head and follow Yingzi to bow her head and stand sideways at the back, but even so, she still felt a few eyes watching her, and couldn't help frowning.

After replying, the group rode away on horseback. The third aunt let out a sigh of relief and pulled the two of them away quickly.

They did not see that two of the departing persons kept looking back.

"How is it sir?" one of them asked.

"It's a good face, but it's a pity that I didn't see the whole picture, but it's auspicious." A man in his 30s wearing a plain suit stroked his beard and looked back at the distant figure.

The man who asked the question shook his head, "Unfortunately, he is already married."

The man in plain clothes smiled, "Although you are married, you can look at your figure and posture, but you are perfect. I am afraid that you are too young to consummate the house."

"Oh—" The other man suddenly stopped the horse, looked back thoughtfully, and ordered, "Go and check."

"Yes." A sergeant ordered to leave.A group of people speed up.

Jin Niang didn't hear what they said, and was thinking about why San Auntie dragged them away so quickly.

"What's wrong with Third Auntie? What do those people do?"

The third aunt looked back, and she said, "I really didn't expect these people to appear here. I don't know if you have heard of them. This year, the top will be selected. We have to go through the selection before." Those people came down to pick them, you didn’t see that there are two official media and a fortune teller in that team, I’m afraid someone from Minshan Village has been photographed, so I’m going to have a look.”

"Oh." Jinniang nodded, losing interest.When I got to the door, I didn't ask any more questions.

When I got home, Father Yang had already finished all the chicken coop fences, occupying a place in the southwest, which looked very neat.Waiting for the next episode to catch a few chickens and raise them.

Yang Zhenhai didn't come back at noon, he helped the fourth family, and the fourth family sent today's meal to the field.The fourth son's family planted three acres of paddy fields, and rented the rest of the land to others. After the spring plowing was over, the fourth son had to prepare for the rural examination, and he didn't care about the affairs of the field. The two women in the family didn't know much about it. It is also convenient to rent out.

The two ate pancake egg soup at noon. The eggs were bought by Jinniang at the market. If there is anything to eat and eat at a rural home, she seldom buys anything. Since Jinniang is in charge, the food in the family has been much richer. There are not many vegetables this season, and she also changes the way of soaking bean sprouts and digging bamboo shoots. I'm afraid he would have been scolded as a prodigal.But in this family and in the yard, she is in charge, the old man and Yang Zhenhai don't care about these matters at all.

Life is lived, not saved. It is such a rare thing for Jinniang to get a new life. She wants to live well, not only to live but also to live well. The life is going to be prosperous, and she can do nothing wrong Own.When I was in college, when I had the opportunity to go online, I would look for recipes for health care, thinking about going home to take care of my grandfather’s body. Now those things are more useful than what I learned in school.

After lunch, Jinniang washed the wild garlic she dug in the morning, put it outside to dry, and then pickled it in a jar.The miso sauce cubes made last month have all grown hairs, and in ten days it will be the eighth day of the eighth day, and the sauce can be served.I don't have a suitable sauce jar at home, so I bought it together with the chicken in the last episode.The vegetables in the backyard have already grown, and the cabbage has grown to a finger length. Jinniang thinks that tomorrow she will thin out the seedlings and fry a plate.She thought about having more vegetables at home, and planting more, such as spinach and rape, which can be eaten in a month, other eggplants, cucumbers, loofahs, mustard greens, leeks, wax gourds, and a few gourds planted by the wall. It didn't matter if it was planted too early or not, relying on the water of life in hand, they were all planted, and the effect was not bad, and the germination rate was very high.

In fact, Mr. Yang is very puzzled about growing vegetables. He has been planting for so many years, and he has never seen anyone planting vegetables in the field early, and they are still growing alive. These two days, he has been watching from the back every day, but he is better than Jin. The mother has to pay attention.

Eating shepherd's purse and pork dumplings in the evening, the father and father were a little bit overwhelmed. They didn't say anything, but they thought that their daughter-in-law (daughter-in-law) was clever, able to make things, and diligent, so they were lucky.These dudes are becoming more and more like foodies.

"Young master has found information about that woman." The sergeant bowed his head and reported.

"Oh, bring it up." The 27-year-old man put down the teacup after hearing this.This person is the person Jinniang met today.

After taking over the information compiled by the sergeant, I read it. The biography is simple, and the family situation is also very clear, but "Her husband went to the south to fight?"

"Yes, there are many people who went to Yangjiacun together, and he was the last one to come back. No information has been released, only that he was in the capital for a while."

The man thought about it, even if he stays in the capital for a while, it's not a big deal. If he has some important status, he probably won't come back here.For some reason, he remembered Bai Ri's figure, although his face was not very clear, but it just fell into his eyes suddenly, and he couldn't get rid of it.

He waved his hand to let the sergeant go down, and handed the list to the gentleman next to him, "Mr. Zhao, what do you think? Can it work?"

The gentleman took it over and looked at it, "It's easy to control by only looking at her natal family, but she is already married, and it may be troublesome if she is found out in the future. What's more, you can't be sure of anything just by looking at it."

The man nodded, "Take another look at the time these two days, and don't miss any chance. Now that the capital is competing, the other families will definitely not sit still." The man shook his head. This opportunity is rare. Can't let go of any possibility.

Mr. Zhao nodded. He is also a member of the family, so he will naturally try his best in this matter, "What about De Gonggong?"

The man shook his head, "If you really want to be suitable, just be a general picker. Since Eunuch De has been sent down, he has a good vision." Moreover, Eunuch De's caution may hinder him, "It's still too early to say this, you first Find a way to have a look, and then we can talk about it.”

The two talked about which gentleman had a conversation and left. The man opened the window and looked at the moonlight outside. The cold air made him shiver.

This year, the selection of the major families is very important. In previous years, the selection of the major families may have some meddling, but they will not be so serious. This year is different. The Taizu ancestor taught that the queen can only be born in the family of the common people. The daughters of the important officials of each family can only be the noble concubine. , a concubine born in the family of three generations is not allowed to enter the palace, everything is to prevent foreign relatives from monopolizing power.But how could it be stopped.

In the early years, when the queen was not established, the tallest person in the palace was a concubine, but now he canonized the concubine and noble concubine in order to borrow the power of several families.This year, the world has settled down to pick and choose, which means that there is no post-election.

There are beauties on both sides of the Blue River, and this is an important place to recruit women every year. If you can find a suitable one, you should grab it first.It's a pity that there are many beautiful people in Yueyu, but I haven't seen a suitable one, let alone one with the qualifications of a queen.In the countryside, the quality is not enough. Today's slight glance was a little touching, but unfortunately I didn't see it clearly and couldn't be sure. I thought about what was written on the list, and the literacy and embroidery were excellent. I didn't know the others. news.

"Are you going to go into the mountains today?" Jinniang asked when she got up early in the morning and watched Yang Zhenhai start packing up the things to go into the mountains.

"Well, if you don't go far, you can go back in one day. The work in the field is over. I'll go to set up a few traps and get some wild animals."

"Be careful in that business, the day after tomorrow is the market, I want to buy a big jar, save the sauce, and buy a few small jars to pickle pickles." Jinniang combed her hair a few times, thinking that it would be ready for Yang Zhenhai as soon as possible Take dry food with you.

"As you wish, I will go with you when the time comes." Yang Zhenhai never cared about these trivial matters.

After tidying up, Jinniang went out to make breakfast. It happened that yesterday she made noodles and steamed a large pot of white flour steamed buns, half of which were sugar triangles. Since the separation, Jinniang has paid more attention to food. Most of them are black noodles, not the modern coarse grains, which are nutritious and delicious. This kind of black noodles are rough and unpalatable, and it is not good for the stomach after a long time.After we separated, the family began to eat fine noodles. Although they are not as white as modern ones, they taste not bad at all. Sometimes they are eaten with corn noodles, pancakes, steamed buns, dumplings, and noodles. They are made in different ways, basically every two days Eat pasta every day.

In addition, I made two rice porridge, served with Jinniang's own pickled vegetables, pickled wild garlic, and sour bamboo shoots.

After breakfast, Jinniang wrapped five sugar triangles in the white cotton cloth she had in a hurry, filled a water bag with water, and thought about going to the market to find out if there were any smaller jars, preferably the size of a palm. Yes, in the future Yang Zhen will go up the mountain, which one can he use to bring some pickles or something, or ask a carpenter to make a lunch box or something, wooden things are not heavy, and they are easy to break if they are touched, or they can be made of copper. Thin ones are not afraid of damage, Jinniang thought of the military lunch boxes she had seen casually before, the oval ones could be heated in the mountains.The more you think about it, the more feasible it will be. Wait until you go to Jishang to find a blacksmith to try.
