Lady Caisang: My husband is a little sweet

Chapter 234 Knowledge
After discussing with Gu Qingya, Jiang Rong'an decided to stay in Jiangjia Village. Knowing that the Jiangjia Family Temple is unusual, it is good to stay and learn more about it.

Besides, in Fucheng, the Lu family has formally worshiped their ancestors, and Jiang Rongan, a nephew, doesn't need to intervene in the next matter, and the Jiang family in Fucheng may even harass them. If they stay in Jiangjia Village, at least their ears will be quieter.

Jiang Wuyan, the old man, happily invited Jiang Rongan and Gu Qingya to live in his house. To be honest, he was very curious about Jiang Rongan.

It's not easy for Jiang Rong'an, a wanderer, to get to the exam step by step, without the support of his family after all.

Some people may want to compare it with a poor family, but this is different. To produce a noble child from a poor family often requires talent and the virtues of ancestors, but it is very difficult to produce a top three from a wealthy family, even more difficult than a scholarly family.

The Jiang family arranges people to do good deeds every year, and they don't publicize it to the outside world. However, after several generations of accumulation, there are not many after all. After all, there are too few descendants who can be enlightened.

"The humble house is a bit shabby, don't mind, I'll send someone to fetch some daily necessities later, if you men come here once, then stay for a while longer." Jiang Wuyan's house is not big, but the overall feeling is strange, All kinds of patterns and decorations give people a mysterious feeling.

"Troublesome uncle." In fact, Jiang Wuyan's blood relationship with Jiang Rongan's branch is already very weak, but in terms of seniority, they belong to the generation of Jiang Rongan's great-grandfather.

"Why, let's go, I'll take you around the village." Jiang Wuyan is mainly responsible for sacrifices and other things. It's not a festival now, so it's relatively free. It's okay to take Jiang Rong'an and Gu Qingya for a walk around the village.

Of course, Jiang Rong'an was very happy. In a strange place, the people who know him best are the local old people. What's special about this Jiangjia Village may be known after walking around.

It was already past the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather was getting hotter, and the fields were busy, fertilizing or watering, etc. Everyone had their own busy things, which looked very ordinary.

But Jiang Rong'an took a closer look and found that the number of old people, middle-aged people, young people and young people seemed to have a certain proportion, and this village kept a certain rule.

Jiang Rong'an didn't practice martial arts himself, but he followed Jin Zeping and the others on the island for a while, saw soldiers practicing drills, and roughly understood some of the nature of soldiers. These people in the village, their steps, and some of their movements, all have certain habits. Obviously different from ordinary people.

"Uncle, are the clan masters in the family temple selected and trained from various clans?" Jiang Rong'an was a little curious. If this was the case, would these people have selfish motives for their clan?
"There are strict standards for the selection of clan elders, and they are not allowed to go out to the public. Except for the eldest son, all other males must go to the clan for training after the age of five, and then they will be screened in turn. After that, they will have to pass layers of tests before they can be determined. Is it an elder of the clan?"

Jiang Wuyan didn't go into details, but these words were enough for Jiang Rongan to understand a lot.

What he thought was, if he actually got on the genealogy, would he or his children enter the power center of the Jiang family in the future?
In his heart, he is repulsive. He hopes that his descendants will become marginal figures in the Jiang family. Sometimes the relationship is complicated, which means more troubles.

Jiang Wuyan glanced at Jiang Rongan, saying that people are old and mature, and he can probably guess Jiang Rongan's thoughts, "Of course, if the future direction has been decided early, it's just a formality in the clan."

What is not said is that many ordinary people in the Jiang family hope that their descendants can become candidates for the clan elders, which means that the family can get a chance to improve their lives. They may not be rich, but they can certainly be well-off.

"Really?" Jiang Rongan couldn't help thinking that when he was five years old, he seemed to be nothing special, and he had never heard of it. It seemed that no one would know about it unless he was related.

"Uncle, does the village mainly grow lotus roots?" Gu Qingya tugged at the corner of Jiang Rongan's clothes, and changed the subject with a smile. The lotus roots grown in this village are not the ones that grow in lakes and rivers like in Sanhua County. , but in the fields, in large tracts.

"The lotus seeds grown here are very good for medicine, and they are very famous in the entire Ming Dynasty." Jiang Wuyan nodded. Besides, lotus hearts, lotus leaves, and lotus roots are all very popular.

"Does it also include lotus root powder?" Gu Qingya asked curiously, maybe it's because lotus root is too common here, and everyone doesn't pay attention to what is famous.

Jiang Wuyan shook his head, and said with some regret, "No, this variety of lotus root doesn't produce much powder, but it has a good taste, refreshing and crisp, and it is still very popular."

"Each lotus field doesn't look the same. It should be good to raise loach or lion snails." Gu Qingya was thoughtful, thinking of the books on farming that she had read recently, but there are many things that can be raised together in the lotus field.

"It sounds like you have a lot of research on these things." Jiang Wuyan looked at Gu Qingya with some interest, an ordinary-looking little girl who actually had some research on farming.

Gu Qingya shook her head, "It's just thinking about it, I don't know what it is actually like." She didn't say anything special, why is the old man behaving like this?
In fact, Gu Qingya didn't know that people like the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family don't have many opportunities to meet the elders of the clan, let alone visit the village together, so Jiang Wuyan's impression of women is not like Gu Qingya's. This matter can be said clearly and logically, to save my husband from the siege.

"Very good. In two days, I will arrange for the daughter-in-law in charge of farming to talk to you. Maybe you can make sense." If Jiang Wuyan thinks someone is valuable, he should find out all of them, which will benefit the family, but he is not brazen to do.

Gu Qingya is still very interested in this kind of lotus root planting, so I thank you in advance. Didn't she learn from others?
When the two were getting along in private, Jiang Rong'an and Gu Qingya started chatting about Jiang's village.

First of all, the village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the entrance of the village is facing outwards. Secondly, the mountains around the village are lush with forests, so that people can't see anything on the mountains, nor can they see anything special. Finally, the fields at the entrance of the village are always covered with The laborers are always paying attention to the situation outside the village.

"My lady, this village is really not simple!" Jiang Rongan sighed, "I feel that maybe we will be deeply tied to the Jiang family, and I don't know if it's good or bad."

"This should be the inevitable result. We take the initiative to find the family temple and maintain a good relationship. It is better than being approached by them in the future and causing unpleasant troubles." People live in different environments and have different rules. Since the rules cannot be changed, then adapt and find another space in the rules.

Really smart people will never go against the rules of this social environment. It is tantamount to being a cart with the arms of a mantis. Only by following the rules can we go further.
