Nanyang County.
Zhongjing Lane is bustling with activity because a family surnamed Cui has moved into a new house today.
Several neighbors leaned over to look in and gathered together to chat.
"Looks like he's from a prominent family, doesn't he?"
"Oh, seven or eight carriages came to visit one after another, and it seems that they all brought servants with them!"
Everyone was amazed and guessed the identity of the new neighbor.
At this time, an old man walked out from the opposite yard and poured a basin of rice water at the door with a stern face.
Then he said disdainfully: "If you really have a background, how could you live in such a run-down place like Zhongjing Lane? You would have moved to Funiu Lane long ago!"
After saying that.
The old man turned around and went home, slamming the door shut.
Several neighbors looked worried. What had happened to this old man Cui today?
Who pissed him off!
One of the neighbors rolled his eyes and understood: "Maybe it's because the new neighbor also has the surname Cui, and he's doing great while his family is in a mess. Same surname but different fate, he's jealous."
These words made everyone around look awkward.
Everyone in Zhongjing Lane knew that the Cui family lived a miserable life and that the whole family was extremely difficult to deal with.
What a coincidence.
The new neighbor also has the surname Cui.
As soon as I moved in, old man Cui became jealous of me!
I'm afraid there will be some fun to watch in the future.
The other side.
The newly moved Cui family is indeed enjoying a prosperous life.
Although Zhongjing Lane is a bit old, it has an excellent location.
It only takes an incense stick of time to reach Funiu Lane.
Out of the alley, the market, the market town, the livestock workshop, the breakfast shop, the restaurant, the tea house, the bookstore, the clinic, etc. are all not far away.
Life is extremely convenient.
What’s even better is that the rent is not expensive - only eight hundred wen per month.
This is a place specially selected after the Pei family helped to search for a long time.
The broker gave a reasonable price out of respect for the scholar's family.
In the past, Mrs. Cui would never be willing to pay the basic expenses of eight hundred dafen per month.
Because in a year, the rent alone would be nearly ten taels of silver!
So scary.
But it was for the convenience of Xian'er and Yu'er's studies, for the purpose of sending the two sons to the county school in the future, and for the family to live a more comfortable life.
Old Cui gritted her teeth and rented it!
Now that Xian'er has become successful, the family is living better and better.
The gloom in old Mrs. Cui disappeared unconsciously. She became more cheerful and looked like a kind old woman.
now.
She sat in the yard of her new home, smiling and teasing her little granddaughter.
The two men, Cui Boshan and Cui Zhongyuan, their aunt Lin, and several children were busy cleaning and scrubbing.
The yard of the new house is not big, only half the size of the original one in Hexi Village.
There are still three large rooms with three small rooms inside, which can accommodate the whole family.
Cui Xian also has a room of his own!
What’s even better is that there is a well in the yard.
A chicken coop was built on the west side, and a osmanthus tree was planted not far from the chicken coop.
It is said that it was planted by a scholar in the past.
When Old Cui saw it, she was overwhelmed with admiration: "What a laurel tree, what a good symbol! In the future, her sons and grandsons will all be able to win the imperial examination!"
It can be seen that the Pei family really put a lot of thought into choosing this house.
That’s not all.
Today, the Cui family moved into a new house. The ladies from the Pei family, Gao family, Zhuang family, and Li family all came to congratulate them.
When you move to a new residence, people will congratulate you and the social interactions will be warm and lively.
How can we not be prosperous these days?
While Lin was packing, she smiled and suggested, "Mom, let's kill a chicken and stew it tonight to celebrate the new home."
Hearing this, the whole family was very interested.
Old Cui agreed very readily: "Okay!"
"Yeah! That's great, there's chicken stew to eat!"
Cui Xuan's eyes lit up with joy.
She took Yu'er and Xian'er with her, and the three siblings worked together to catch the fattest rooster in the shed.
Fresh home-raised chicken and the first crop of taro that has just matured are stewed in an iron pot for a full half hour.
The chicken is soft and tender, and is put into your mouth to chew along with the taro that has been stewed until it is soft and sticky.
It smells really good!
There are eight people in the family... no, there are nine people now, and they are eating so much that their eyes are shining.
Unfortunately, the youngest one could only watch.
After dinner.
Chen looked at the sky and said, "Yu'er, Xian'er, go to bed quickly. You have to go to school tomorrow, so you can't be late."
Upon hearing this, the brothers Cui Yu and Cui Xian went back to their room obediently.
Before going to bed, Cui Xian looked at his new home and stretched comfortably.
In just a few months of traveling through time, he earned himself the reputation of a child prodigy.
And they rescued the poor family from Hexi Village.
Now that life is finally on track, I am about to enter the Pei family school and officially become an "ancient primary school student with formal academic status."
Tsk, when you think about it this way, I did a pretty good job?
Praise yourself before going to bed.
Then he felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.
Get ready for a new beginning——
The daily life of elementary school students in ancient times.
Well, it’s the daily life of primary school students studying in ancient aristocratic primary schools!
The next day, at the hour of Mao.
It was just daybreak and the monk from a nearby temple, who was in charge of announcing the dawn, was beating a wooden fish and telling time along the street.
In the alley, every house lit up its oil lamp.
Chen wants to take care of her daughter.
Hearing the noise, Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Lin got up first and washed up simply.
Amid the call of the monk to crow, in the early morning when the sky was just beginning to turn pale, I pushed open the door and went out.
If you look down from the sky above Nanyang County at this moment, you can see that the city has begun to "come alive" after a night of silence.
