Pan Jinlian's petty bourgeoisie life

Zhong Zan said:

"Sure enough, the officials and the lady are very good people. I have never lost sight of you. You will definitely become rich and powerful when you move out to live in the future. Don't forget me by then."

"Let me borrow your old auspicious words, but it's just a mess, I just want everyone to be harmonious and peaceful, and I'm satisfied."

Of course, it would be even better if you can make money as a landlord.

72 ending

Separation is actually quite simple.

When Mrs. Chai and Li leave the Buddhist hall, she is the elder of the family, as long as she makes up her mind, naturally no one else has the say.Pan Jinlian knew that the Chai Li family was not a village woman who favored the youngest son, and the Chai family did not have many concubines or unmarried daughters, which made it even easier to divide.

Sure enough, the Chai and Li family followed the rules. The ancestral house they lived in now belonged to the uncle of the Chai family, and she naturally lived with the boss, but the second master of the Chai family also shared a thousand acres of fertile land and some money. Mrs. Li took out some of her private house and gave it to the second master of the Chai family, but said:

"You are also the meat that fell out of my heart. Since then, going out to live will naturally cost a lot more. I feel uneasy if I don't give you some. If you have more, you won't have any. Just use it to buy a thatched cottage."

The second son of the Chai family also shed tears, knelt and took it, and promised to come and visit his mother often.Although Chai Wang couldn't go to the front, he still let people inquire about the news in the backyard. Hearing this, he couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth and sneering.The Chai Lin family sat upright, with a cold face and did not speak, just drinking tea with his head down.

Pan Jinlian was sitting alone with the child in her arms, just watching the play, but she was still thinking about the winery business that Chai Wu talked about last night.

Since Chai Wu passed Master Chai's first seven days, he found time to go out of the city and went to the winery to have a look around. The impact of Liangshan on the county town did not affect the village. And rum, the millet wine was sold on the counter, but the rum was well bottled and placed in the wine cellar. Chai Wu took out a few bottles and opened them to taste. The taste was very good.

The shopkeeper of the wine shop smiled and said:

"We didn't dare to touch these, we just waited for the officials to come and do that before we put them out for sale."

A major event happened to the Chai family, so Chai Wu and Pan Jinlian's artificial rainbow project was naturally shelved.

It happened that the next day was the day to rush to the market, and the weather was cloudless, so Chai Wu asked his men to carry a large tank of water, hang it on the beams of the house, and took off a tile on the roof, and asked the men to wear tile-gray clothes. Clothes lay in ambush on the roof, waiting for the rushing people to come over one after another, holding a basin and pouring water into the sky.Unexpectedly, the heavens are beautiful, and it was done in one go. The translucent rainbow leaped above the winery, and people who passed by couldn't help but stop and watch.At this moment, the shopkeeper of the winery suddenly jumped out, and shouted loudly to Chai Wu who was standing with his back to the crowd:

"It's brewed, officer! Our wine is finally brewed!"

"What?" Chai Wu pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly asked loudly, "It's really brewed?"

"Isn't it, this serious amber color, this smell, even the immortals will go down to earth if they smell it in the sky!"

Just as the shopkeeper was talking, the winemaker behind him had already put the newly brewed and unbottled rum in a shallow basin on top of the charcoal fire. The aroma permeated the entire wine shop, and rushed towards the crowd, and someone inside was already clapping their hands and shouting:

"Smelling wine! Could it be that there are gods descending from the sky in this scene!"

While talking, someone started to agree, Chai Wu nodded to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper hurriedly shouted:

"Blind date everyone, our officials said that we are destined to meet each other. The newly brewed wine from our winery is counted as one. Each person has a bowl to taste the freshness. I hope everyone will take care of our business in the future!"

The crowd was agitated for a while, and the fan workers in the wine shop hurriedly took out a bunch of small bowls, filled them in basins and took them out, but they were all snatched up as soon as they went out.

Chai Wu watched from the side, but he felt a little complacent in his heart, and finally his hard work was not in vain.

And that wine also got a new name - rainbow wine.

************************************************** **

When Pan Jinlian heard Chai Wu talk about the grand occasion at that time, she couldn't help but feel happy. As long as the winery made money, she and Chai Wu would not be hungry even if they moved out empty-bodied.It's just that I still have to think of a way to strike while the iron is hot?

She thought to herself, but the outside of Chai's house was very strange.The elders of the Chai family watched as the two brothers of the Chai family finished handing over the land deed money, but one of them suddenly said:

"Let me say that although the fifth child is not on the family tree of the Chai family, he is still a descendant of the Chai family. You should be considerate."

Chai Li's hand holding the Buddhist beads froze, slowly raised his eyes, and after a while, he said:

"If you can't get the genealogy, you're not the Chai family. It stands to reason that you can't share the family property...Since the uncle said it, we have to listen to it. Boss, let's give him five hundred guan, rent a few houses outside, and then do it." Do a small business to support your wife and children."

The boss of the Chai family was also taken aback, then nodded and agreed:

"I'll ask the housekeeper to send the money to his yard, but since I got the money, I think it's better for the fifth family to move out as soon as possible. Our family is in trouble now, and we don't know how much this servant can keep in the future. Their Food and clothing can no longer be afforded.”

Don't eat and drink for nothing at home, go where you should go.

Chai Wu couldn't help but blushed when he heard this, he just saluted and said:

"Of course we want to move out. Madam allows me to look for a house outside for a few days, at least three days, and at most five days. I will move out as soon as I find a house. I will definitely not burden Madam and the officials."

Mrs. Chai Li hurriedly said with a smile:

"Boss said recklessly, there are so many people in the family and there are not many of you, but this brother was born into several families, and you are also an adult. Naturally, you have to go out to make a living and learn how to support yourself. If you have Come back when there is any difficulty, the Chai family is still your home after all, and you won't always ignore it."

Speaking of this, there are some ghosts.When the master of the Chai family was dying, what he said to Chai Li was to let Chai Wu recognize his ancestors and return to the family tree, and he should not be allowed to go out to live alone even if the family is divided in the future. They have no children, so they have to rely on Chai Wu's children to continue the bloodline.

How could Mrs. Chai and Li be willing to do this? Naturally, she kept the matter under wraps. Although she was not afraid of asking for an explanation about Chai Wu's incident later, she was somewhat afraid that the soul of the master of the Chai family would come to settle accounts with her. After thinking about it, she said:

"In this way, I feel sorry for this child again. I still have five hundred guan of my own house here, and I gave it to you. It can be regarded as a little love from me for the child."

Chai Wu hurriedly declined, but Chai and Li refused to take it back, only saying that it was for the grandmother and the child, but Chai Wu was helpless and accepted it.Chai and Li felt relieved, and let the girl help her back to the back house, took out some jewelry from the bottom of the box, and divided them among Chai Wang and Chai Lin, and said with a smile:

"Your sisters-in-law have served me for many years, you have worked hard."

As he spoke, he pulled Pan Jinlian to sit next to him, and took out a pair of gold and jade bracelets:

"This is for you. Come and see me with the child when you have nothing to do. Don't move out and there will be no news."

No matter how wary and suspicious she was of Chai Wu, elderly people were really happy for children, not to mention that the Chai family had no children for many years.Pan Jinlian asked Ying'er to take the bracelet, thanked her and said:

"It's natural. Even if Madam is still Madam after leaving the gate, I will definitely come back to visit often."

But I decided in my heart that if I don't come, I will never enter the gate of the Chai family again. The people in this family are too complicated, with seven or eight bends in their intestines, and it's just the people who are tossing and crying.Chai Wang and Chai Lin also hurriedly wept, and after a few words of persuasion, the woman outside brought soup and medicine, and they all dispersed.

************************************************** ********

Only two days later, Chai Wu asked the manager of the winery to help him find a small courtyard near the winery. The house was neatly built with twenty rooms, and there was a small garden in the back with planted With lush trees and seasonal flowers, a stream of running water is drawn into the garden, and stones are used to build a rockery with a height of one person, and a small bridge is built, which has a taste of the south of the Yangtze River.

The owner of the house was originally a scholar, because the only son in the family was an official in another place and took over his parents. At this time, there were no relatives here, so he simply left a loyal old servant from generation to generation to guard the house. If someone bought it, he would sell the house Yes, the asking price is not high, only [-] guan.The two made an agreement at that time, and after paying the money, the old servant took the money and went to his master.

Chai Wu took the people in the wine shop to look around the house, and found that it was very clean. He only asked the wives of the shopkeepers who lived nearby to wipe the tables, chairs and windows inside. Jin Lian and the others moved in after packing up the furniture.

In the Chai’s courtyard where they lived, all the tables, chairs and beds belonged to the commune, and Pan Jinlian naturally didn’t know how to use them, so she packed them up quickly. She packed the two people’s clothes, shoes and socks into several packages, and took her own. The dowry, the land deeds hidden in the ground, etc., found two large carts and moved everyone to the new house.

Then it was setting up the wine and warming the room and buying a few pieces of furniture. Pan Jinlian was busy for half a month before she was free and fell asleep for two days.That Chai Wu was looking at the wine shop inside and outside, and even more so.
