Chapter 134 Life in Lin's Village

Ge was very uncomfortable. She wanted to cook, and immediately a maid came over, "Old lady, rest, let me come." She wanted to carry water and wash clothes, but an old lady grabbed the basin from her hand. "How can I let you do it? Is there a maid?" She wanted to flip through the herbs, and someone immediately invited her aside, "Old lady, how do you do it, I will do it."

She didn't find anything to do at her own house, so she had to go out with a basket on her back and was about to dig some herbs on the mountain to check for bacteria and other things. She always went out for money, so could she not earn more money?

Before she could step out, a rough woman came over, "Is the old lady going out? I'll accompany you."

Ge's-----

She also complained to her granddaughter, but what did she say?

"You are our ancestors, with so many slaves, why do you have the turn of work? Grandma, you have worked hard for most of your life. Let's take a break. I used to be nowhere to be by your side, but now I'm back, can't you be filial to me?"

Even the third uncle advised her, "Sister-in-law, if the child has this filial piety, you can enjoy your happiness with peace of mind."

Ge was happy, but she was so idle!

Ge didn't know that the servants were full of tears! The old lady thought they were too many and wanted to sell people. Can they perform if they didn't rush to work? The servants could help build houses. Peach blossoms and fish are the girl's direct descendants, and if they wanted to sell people, they could only sell them. The girl had their own contracts. If she really made up her mind to sell people, she would not care whether they were slaves in the Marquis' Mansion.

Jin Jiuyin knew all the thoughts of slaves. She said nothing and did nothing. These slaves, even though they were just a rough woman, were also cunning. It would also make them feel a little crisis, so that they would not have time to have too much leisure and cause trouble.

The homestead was marked and was at the foot of the mountain. Although it was a little distance from the village, the place was so big that there was no place that Jin Jiuyin was satisfied with in the village.

Actually, this place is quite good. On the one hand, it has another advantage that it is close to the mountain and it is very convenient to go up the mountain. And even if you can’t walk, it’s easy to open a vegetable garden to water it.

After a rain, Jin Jiuyin went up the mountain to pick mushrooms with her third uncle's cousins. The third uncle had only one son, named Fengnian. He had great hopes to let him study, hoping that he could read a name and change his family. However, Lin Fengnian was not that material, so the third uncle married him a wife early. Fortunately, his wife was able to give birth to her, and she gave birth to three sons and two daughters one after another.

The eldest grandson is Donglin, who is better than his father, and he can study. He has been studying for more than ten years and ended up taking the exam twice, but he didn't even pass the exam. The second time he came out of the exam room and said he would not study anything, saying that he should not waste money. He is the eldest son and it is time to go home to help his father and his grandfather.

When I got home and learned to do farm work, I also read books in my spare time. Now I have married and had children, and my son is over one year old.

The second grandson is called Dongshan, who is sixteen years old and is studying in a school in the city. He is about to come to take the exam like his brother. If he doesn't work, he will simply go home to learn farming, or find a friend in the city. He is so adult, so it's not easy to keep his family.

The third grandson is named Dongfu, and he is only nine years old. He followed an old boy in the village to learn to read and recite three hundred thousand.

The two granddaughters, the older one, are called Yingchun, as big as Jin Jiuyin, and are half a year older than her. They have already made a marriage and get married after the autumn harvest is over. The younger one is called Yinhuan, who is eight years old and is the youngest child in the family.

As soon as he heard that Jiuyin wanted to go up the mountain, the third uncle sent his eldest grandson. In addition to Dongshan who was studying in the city and Yingchun who was preparing to marry, the two young ones followed.

Taohua and Chenyu also wanted to go up the mountain together, but Jin Jiuyin didn't let him go, "You two help grandma dry the medicinal materials." She and her cousin went up the mountain together. What would she look like if she still brought the maid? She was also afraid that they would be uncomfortable.

Donglin is worthy of being the eldest brother, taking good care of Jin Jiuyin and his brother and sister below. He trampled the thorns in front and let the three behind leave.

Dongfu and Yinhuan are at their innocent age and are full of curiosity about this cousin from Beijing.

Dongfu said: "Sister Jiuyin, are people in the capital as beautiful as you?"

Jin Jiuyin burst out laughing and teased him, "Who is this little bitch? Are you so nice?"

"Of course, my mother said that when I grow up, I will marry me a pretty wife." Dongfu was proud and his little breasts were so tall. "No one in Linjiazhuang is as beautiful as Sister Jiuyin. So will I have to go to the capital to get a wife in the future? That's so far!"

Seeing Dongfu looking so worried, Jin Jiuyin couldn't help laughing and thought to herself: Young man, you can't marry a better-looking wife than me even when you go to the capital. If you use me as a standard, you may not be able to marry a wife in your life.

"It's okay, you study hard, and you can rely on scholars when you grow up, take the imperial examination, and go to the capital when you get the imperial examination." Jin Jiuyin comforted him.

Dongfu sighed, "That's all."

Now not only Jin Jiuyin, but also Donglin smiled and touched his head, "Then you have to study well. Only by studying can you go to the capital."

This made Jin Jiuyin look at him differently. Dongfu was a child and didn't know how difficult it was to pass the scholarship exam. How many scholars did not pass the exam even if they had gray hair.

However, as an adult, Donglin, who passed the Tongsheng exam, knew how difficult it was to go. He did not scold Dongfu for his whimsical imagination, but instead encouraged him to study hard. It is said that his elder brother is like his father. In Jiuyin's opinion, Donglin's cousin deserves it.

Yinhuan is interested in Jin Jiuyin's fairness. "Sister Jiuyin, are you all the people in the capital so white?" Sister Jiuyin didn't say that, the two maids and sisters around her were very white, and even those few mothers were white and fat, which made Yinhuan very envious of her dark skin.

"Sister Jiuyin, I would be as white as you."

"Of course not. There are also many daughters in Beijing who have dark skin, but they can't tell if they apply powder." Seeing Yinhuan's heart was very moved, he said again: "You are still young, it's not good to apply powder, it hurts your face."

"Actually, you are so dark that you can go back in vain as long as you bask in less sunshine."

"Really?" Yinhuan was half-believing and half-doubting.

"Can I still lie to you? You and Sister Yingchun are sisters, do you think she is not dark, right? That's because she is not like you who run outside all day long. She is not dark, and you must not dark."

"Looking at your second brother, he is also white, right? He is still a man, just because he sits in school all day long and does not blow the wind or rain or hit the sun or shines, so it will naturally turn white."

This example immediately convinced Yinhuan, as if she had made a great decision, "Then I won't go out to play anymore." But when she stayed at home, her mother kept asking her to learn needlework, and she really didn't want to! If she could be as white as her sister, she felt that she could still bear it.

Looking at the little loli's entangled expression, Jin Jiuyin smiled unkindly. She turned to talk to Donglin, "Brother Donglin, have you not taken the exam in the future? I have been reading books for so many years, so I will waste it if I don't take too much."

Donglin was very open-minded, "What's the waste? When I get older, I can enlighten him. Sister Jiuyin, I'm really not that piece of material."

Jin Jiuyin said: "I heard from the villagers that you are good at studying."

"I am considered good in the village, but I can't be much in the city. The more I continue to study, the more I feel that I am shallow. Didn't I take the exam twice? I'm not hiding it to my sister, the first and second games are fine, but in the last three games, I can't even understand the questions." Donglin said frankly.

"How come I can't understand?" Jin Jiuyin was curious.

Donglin thought for a while and said, "I know all the words, but I don't understand them when I put them together. I don't know how to solve the problem, and where to start."

Jin Jiuyin understood, "This is because you have read too few books." Thinking about it, although the third uncle's family does not have to worry about food and clothing, they all study, and paper and pen are so expensive, so they really can't afford to not tighten their belts. Brother Donglin went to an ordinary school, and the teacher was just an old scholar. Without the guidance of a famous teacher and without the family's wealth, it was really difficult for a poor family to have a noble son.

"Brother Donglin, why don't you try again! I have been studying for more than ten years, and it's a pity to be abandoned." Jin Jiuyin advised him and said, "Uncle Fourth Palace Examination High School Tanhua. When I came back, I borrowed a lot of books from him and brought two imperial examination books. The top ten answers to the previous palace examinations, as well as articles and comments from famous teachers and scholars. I can lend them to you."

"Really?" Lin Dong's excited face was distorted.

Jin Jiuyin nodded, "I don't think it's too difficult for Uncle Fourth to take the science exam. I easily took the first few exams. I think it's because he has the guidance of a famous teacher. He can understand the scriptures and teachings thoroughly, and only by seeing more can he know a lot!"

Lin Donglin nodded suddenly, "No matter whether he can pass the exam or not, just my sister is willing to lend me a book, which is a great kindness."

I have been studying for more than ten years, and once I go home to work as a farmer, is he really as willing as he says? No, deep down, he is unwilling to give up. He hopes that he can read some of the names, even if he can't get into a scholar, he can get into a child! Then he opens a literacy school in the village to enlighten the children in the village, which is easier and more decent than going to the field!

But he can't be so selfish. His grandfather is still working in the fields when he is so old. The second brother should say his wife as he sees it, and the third brother is also growing up soon. His two sisters are about to get married. As the eldest son, he cannot put all these on his grandfather and father. In order to support him in school, his mother and milk spinning wheel has not stopped all year round. He cannot be unfilial!

Now Sister Jiuyin is willing to lend him a book and help him, so how can he not be excited?

Jin Jiuyin looked at the ecstatic expression on the face of the young man who had always been introverted, and naturally understood his mood. She said, "Brother Donglin, we are a family, and we will be angry when we say we are kind and moral."

"Yes, we are a family." Lin Donglin had already decided to treat this sister better in the future.
