Eating big melon is so refreshing

It is worth mentioning that there was a student in Zhaojia Village! This person was Zhao Erlang's nephew. You know, in that era, being able to pass the imperial examination was a matter of honor for the family!

In other words, Jiang Ji's biological mother was originally a lowly maid, and his wife came from a military household. More importantly, Jiang Ji has not yet held a formal ceremony to recognize his ancestors, and even his name has not been recorded in the family tree.

As soon as he came back, Jiang Tang, a concubine who was not worthy of being in public, ignored his 26 years of marriage with Tian and took the case to court, which opened a new chapter for Jiang's divorce.

The wives of respectable families all look down on illegitimate sons, not to mention that they can't get any benefit from it, so public opinion naturally leans towards Zhao Erlang and his people.

There were two coffins in the Jiang family's yard. Jiang Tang and Tian Shi were both under the age of fifty and were not qualified to prepare coffins for themselves. Because they both died suddenly, according to custom, their relatives could only keep vigil for one night, and the burial time was very hasty at noon the next day when the sun was at its highest, so the two thin wooden coffins were not even painted.

White cloth strips were tied at the four corners of the yard, swaying in the night wind, and the two oil lamps at the door of the main room emitted a dim light.

Jiang Ji's family of four were burning paper money next to the coffin on the right, while Zhao Erlang and his wife were burning paper money next to the coffin on the left. Everyone was doing their own thing.

"Brother, cry, cry loudly!" Xiao Chunya saw her brother's expressionless face, without any sadness. She took out a handkerchief soaked in ginger and wiped her brother's face. Xiao Qiulin's eyes were stimulated by the smell of ginger and tears immediately flowed down his face. He had to cry even if he didn't want to.

Who is so wicked to ask my sister to soak her hands in ginger water? Is it necessary to cry so hard now that there is no one around to pay tribute?

"Wow, wow, wow" Xiao Qiulin's eyes were filled with tears, but his crying was not loud, at least it was not fake crying, it was much better than the two crying opposite.

Instigated by Tian Bao, Jiang Tianshi became a little cold to her daughter and son-in-law this year, and she also cared less about her grandson. Even if Jiang Ji had not appeared, Tianshi insisted on choosing her nephew for adoption, and the final outcome would be divorce. Then she used all her property to subsidize her brother's family, and even indulged her brother to blackmail her son-in-law after she had no property.

None of the brother-supporting maniacs had a good ending. The customs of the Daye Dynasty were very similar to those of the Tang Dynasty. The preference for boys over girls was not serious. There were just as many women selling things on the streets as men, and they were so aggressive that even men were afraid of them.

Xiaoqiu's big, watery eyes met Jiang Baochai who was secretly looking at him. He saw through the two souls in the other person at a glance. It turned out that this woman was also reborn.

Xiao Qiulin frowned. There were four time travelers in this time and space, they were a brother and sister, Young Master Mingyue, and the luck-stealing girl, and two reborn people, Jiang Xiaocao and Jiang Baochai.

The luck-stealing girl has set her sights on Fat Sister's luck, Jiang Xiaocao and Jiang Baochai have taken a fancy to Master Mingyue, and Master Mingyue wants to flirt with Fat Sister, but Fat Sister can't recognize him. This reborn Jiang Baochai has the space to farm and wants to make trouble. What a mess of relationships!

Xiao Chunya lowered her voice and asked, "Is there a problem?"

Xiao Qiulin wrote the word "rebirth" on her palm. Xiao Chunya looked at the brother and sister in the dim candlelight in the dark night and confirmed, "Young one?"

I found something wrong when I read Jiang Baochai's resume from the big melon. A normal five-year-old child should be like A Jiao in the village, who is very arrogant when he knows two words, thinks he is beautiful when he picks a wild flower and sticks it on his head, and runs faster than a rabbit when something small happens.

Jiang Baochai must be reborn. She is a thousand-year-old fox spirit. Why is she still playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?

A gust of wind blew, and Xiao Chunya felt a little cold while leaning in Jiang's arms. The fire in the basin was blown out by the wind. If the music of the appearance of strange spirits was played at this time, Xiao Chunya would have laughed out loud.

"It's cold at night, you should put on more clothes."

Jiang found an excuse to go back to her room. She went around to the back and dug out the silver buried in the ground and took it back to her room. After thinking about it, she decided to give it to Xiao Qiulin for safekeeping. She had long discovered that no one else could find the things her son collected.

Xiao Qiulin put on a thick cotton coat just to collect ten taels of silver, and he felt like he was smoking. Xiao Chunya decisively refused, "Mother, I'm fat." She has a lot of fat, and is afraid of heat but not cold.

"You've sneezed, aren't you cold?" Jiang didn't allow her to refuse and directly put a piece of clothing on her.

Xiao Chunya's inner voice echoed, "I'm not really cold, I'm just a little sleepy and want to sleep. Although it's dark now, I can still see the situation over here through the firelight. If I stay awake to watch over the casket, I wonder how Jiang Baochai will make up rumors tomorrow."

"Oh, my eyelids are fighting, I dare not yawn, I always feel that the person opposite me has been looking at me for a long time." This Jiang Baochai always feels familiar. Now I remember that she is the one who snatched the pearl flower from me at the market a few years ago. She hung that pearl on her wrist, yeah, it looks like a treasure."

Xiao Qiulin's eyes were subtle, the space was in the bead. He thought Jiang Baochai had some chance to be reborn, but it turned out to be a chance to rob his sister.

"I know why they are only coming now to trace their roots. At that time, my father was still working in the county government, so they didn't dare to act rashly. Later, my father was suppressed by the Shen family, and they were afraid of being taken away and dared not come. Tian Bao, the bad uncle, caused my grandmother to be imprisoned in isolation. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so they showed up."

Xiao Chunya's voice was loud and clear, "Jiang Ziheng wanted to take the imperial examination, so he needed money and more importantly, his family background. According to the laws of the Daye Dynasty, candidates had to be examined for three generations and their family must be innocent. So his family came back to recognize their ancestry and persuaded grandpa to force grandma to recognize the illegitimate son as the legitimate son. Fortunately, grandma did not agree."

After Jiang Baochai was reborn, she instigated her father to recognize her ancestors. She thought that her grandfather's original wife, Tian, ​​who had no children, would definitely recognize their family. However, she never expected that Tian could not bear this and exposed Jiang Ji's life experience, cutting off Jiang Ziheng's path to the imperial examination. Jiang Ji, Diao, and Jiang Ziheng hated Jiang Baochai to the core!

Jiang Ji didn't want to come back in the first place. He had already made an agreement with a family surnamed Jiang to form a clan alliance. When the time comes, he will pay some silver and adopt Jiang Ziheng to the family that has no descendants. Although his merchant family background is a bit low, the advantage is that as long as his son works hard and can pass the examination, the merchants will pay for his son to continue to take the imperial examination.

Now that this incident had happened, everyone in Huangyang County knew that Jiang Ji was the son of a maidservant and had a concubine. He could not be included in the Jiang family tree. The old man did not make much money, and he had to spend a large sum of money on the funeral. This was a huge loss!

If they didn't need to put on a show for others, they wouldn't have kept vigil for the dead Zhao Bei. It's not worth it to be cold and sleepy and gain that bad reputation.
