Comprehensive Video: Daily life from the courtyard

The heavy rain accompanied by cool wind blows into the room through the window of the shed, Qingzhu hurried to close the window.The rainwater from the province floated to the adult's desk, and when it was closed, the sound of thunder and thunder was heard.

"There is no need to close the thunderstorm that stopped immediately, but closing the windows makes the room very stuffy"
Lin Nan sat on the desk by the window and smiled as he watched Qingzhu close the window in a panic.

"It's better to close it first, the wind blows in and it's a little cold, so don't freeze the master, madam, tell me to take good care of the master," Qingzhu replied softly.

Lin Nan looked at the quail-like green bamboo that just came to his side, and now he dared to talk back to him. He couldn't help but sigh that children are the most sensitive to people's emotions. If you treat them well even if you don't say anything, they will You can also feel that you can release your nature slowly.

"Master, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days, Madam, will she come?"

"What do you think"?

"I think so, but isn't it just a few days ago that Madam and the others went back and wanted to ask the master what he meant?"Qingzhu said with a smile.

"I will come, and I will bring your grandpa and sister together, are you happy?"

"Really, won't that mother-in-law Zhang and mother-in-law Zhou come?"

Lin Nan couldn't help laughing at the worrying look of the ten-year-old child, "Grandma Zhang and Granny Zhou will also come, and it's the holidays. Let's all get together and have fun. Little butler Qingzhu, do you think it's okay?"

"Master, you are making fun of me." Qingzhu's face was blushed by the little butler Qingzhu.

"Well, the master will not only make fun of you if you haven't finished your homework today, but the master will also use a ruler to find your memory."

Hearing Lin Nan's threat, Qingzhu hurriedly slipped outside to continue reading the Three Character Classic.

Seeing that Qingzhu had gone out, Lin Nan got up and went to open the window, standing by the window and watching the impatient rain.This rain made the dry and hot air humid and cool, and it made me feel refreshed all at once.

I have been here for more than a month, and the most difficult thing for me is the sweltering heat. At this time, people cannot wear short-sleeved shorts, and all skin is covered by long gowns regardless of men or women.Reheating should also maintain the dignity of the gentry.If it weren't for studying in the "Famous Imperial Examination Teacher Training", you wouldn't feel the temperature outside.

Lin Nan wanted to buy saltpeter to make ice, but thinking about the original owner’s ability to make ice, isn’t it strange that he suddenly knows how to make ice, and the weather is about to cool down, so he should wait until next year to think of a way to make ice This recipe has passed the Ming Road and is starting to be used for refrigeration.

As for using this to make money, forget about saltpeter, which can only be purchased in small quantities. After all, it is a blind material for gunpowder that can be circulated in a small amount in the market.If I buy a large amount of saltpeter, I am afraid that people from the yamen will come to the door.

Lin Nan heard Sun Yourong's voice as soon as Lin Nan got out of Master Zhou's class in "Training of Famous Imperial Examination Teachers".

"Qingzhu, go and help grandpa remove the things from the carriage, Granny Zhang, hurry up and cook dinner, don't delay the master's lunch time when it's morning."

"You Rong, you are planning to not go back after the Mid-Autumn Festival." Lin Nan asked at the door looking at a carriage.

"Yes, I think this hut has been repaired very well, and I will accompany my husband to observe filial piety in this hut, and my daughter-in-law should also come to the hut to keep filial piety for her father-in-law."Sun Yourong was always worried about the Fang family tripod at home. Last time he came to see that the hut was repaired. Although the hut is not big, there are not many family members. The hut built by the Fang family in this row has six rooms. How much room do you have left?
Now the husband and daughter-in-law will also accompany them to the shed to observe their filial piety, so Lin Nan didn't stop Sun Yourong from staying here, and repaired all the shed by himself in the past half month.There will be no rain, water leakage or wind in the room at night. Although it is a bit deserted to live here, but now that I am a filial piety, no one visits or invites me to be a guest.So it's better to let Sun Yourong live here if it's deserted everywhere, and the couple can cultivate their relationship.

"Come in and sit inside, although the weather is getting cooler now, but the sun is still poisonous, so don't stand under the sun to bask in the sun more." Lin Nan said and wanted to pull Sun Yourong into the room, just as Sun Yourong had something to say to Lin Nan, so he said nothing. followed into the house.

"Husband, do you still remember the little Zhuangzi in our family?"

"What's the matter, is there something wrong with Zhuangzi?"Lin Nan knew that there was such a Zhuangzi in the memory of the original owner, so he asked suspiciously.

"Two days ago, Manager Zhang from the Zhuangzi came to deliver the account book, saying that the [-] acres of land with poor harvests this year had only about seven shi left after paying the taxes, and we still need to keep the grain seeds. I am afraid that we will not be able to deliver the grain this year." Sun Yourong said slowly He relayed the manager's words to Lin Nan.

Lin Nan's face turned dark, no wonder the original owner was considered a small landlord with [-] acres of land, and the more he messed up, the poorer he was, the manager was damned.

It is clear that the original owner is no longer required to pay taxes for the land under Juren’s own name. This person bullies the original owner and does not understand vulgar things to make accounts, and he does the accounts decently.Now the grain tax is only one-third, and it is normal for my family to produce about three stones per mu of good land.It is equivalent to collecting 50 shi of grain this time, even if the government collected [-] shi of grain, where did more than [-] shi of it go.

"Ma'am, I remember that I gave you the deeds of the family in charge of the village, did you bring them this time?"

"Bring them all, I want to give them to you now" Sun Yourong immediately replied, she was also very dissatisfied with this manager, she was treating the master above as a fool, she had never seen such an outrageous and arrogant servant.

"Well, this man is too big to use anymore. He is the son of my grandmother's dowry. If he dares to do this this time, no one will help us. If this is the case, let's sell him together with Zhuangzi." Lin Nan said Zhang Dazhi took a look at the contract of selling his life in his hand.

"Even Zhuangzi is going to be sold." Sun Yourong thought that he was just selling that evil servant, but he didn't expect that Fang Jiading would also sell Zhuangzi. In Taiyuan City, their family had no other property except the three-entry courtyard.

"Yes, if we don't sell it, we are still asking someone to take care of it. It's better to sell it directly. We are living here in a hut as a filial piety. When I leave my filial piety, I will go to the capital. When I return to Taiyuan, I will lose what the Zhuangzi kept. It doesn't make much sense, wouldn't it be better to keep the money you sold and buy a small courtyard in Beijing."Lin Nan didn't know if there was anyone backing Zhang Dazhi to make him act so boldly, but it didn't matter, no matter whether someone wanted to covet his Zhuangzi, he would treat Zhang Dazhi as someone backing him so that he would not be afraid of himself.I am unable to punish that ambition now, so I will sell it to someone who is capable and stop the loss in time.

"Father, is it not good for us to do this, what if the master gets angry?" Zhang Yougen said to his father Zhang Dazhi in a naive manner.

"What are you afraid of? What does he know as an uncommon boy? Our family has worked so hard to keep him in Zhuangzi for so many years and get him some food." Zhang Dazhi said with a look of disdain.
