After experiencing this disaster, Ji Sanlang's family's life got better and better.
Ji Sanlang was recuperating at home, and only Mrs. Ji San was working.
But she met the soft-hearted Lady Gu. In addition to giving her some wages every day, she also gave her some food.
And these things will no longer be taken away by Mrs. Ji, nor will they be taken away by the children in other rooms of the Ji family.
And Lady Wan, ever since she found out that her husband had accepted Ji Keji as his disciple, she treated him like half a son.
Food and accommodation are all at Zheng's house, and Ji Keji will be asked to take some back when he goes back.
Lady Wan also made clothes for Ji Keji. They were not made of particularly good fabrics, but they were all brand new and comfortable to wear.
Not only did Ji Keji not spend a penny on his family, but he was also able to bring food, clothing, etc. back to his family.
There were other neighbors who also felt sorry for Ji Sanlang's family.
Although he is not as generous as Gu and Wan, he still takes care of her as much as he can.
As life gets better and they have Bentou, Ji Sanlang and his wife seem to have a fire burning in their hearts and become more diligent and capable.
Ji Sanlang injured his leg and could not move.
It doesn't matter, this will not trouble Zheng Wanjun who came from later generations.
She copied the wheelchair and once again amazed her parents and Ji Keji.
Why again?
Doesn’t this also have movable type printing?
Although Zheng Wanjun didn't remind him too much, he just clicked a few words, and the clever Ji Keji carved out the movable type.
However, Ji Keji knew very well that sometimes just a little hint could make people see through the fog.
Therefore, Ji Keji and Zheng Wanjun came to Mr. Zheng, took out the carved movable type and a small wooden frame, and successfully demonstrated how to print with movable type on the spot. Mr. Zheng asked with great interest: Who thought of this when.
Ji Keji replied without hesitation, "Thanks to Mrs. Zheng for the tip, otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of it at all."
Zheng Wanjun felt a little guilty, and he did mention it, but at the most critical moment, it was Ji Keji who took the initiative to think of it.
Her contribution does not seem to be that great.
As for Ji Keji, not only did he not attack, he also put all the credit on Zheng Wanjun.
Is he trying to curry favor with himself?
Probably not, because Zheng Wanjun could clearly see that his father's eyes were already shining with love for Ji Keji.
Even if Ji Keji doesn't take the initiative to "give credit", Mr. Zheng will still accept him as his disciple.
So, this man is really kind!
And know how to repay your kindness!
Also, Zheng Wanjun discovered that Ji Keji really admired her intelligence and was not "jealous of talents."
In addition to hating mama's boys and foolish and filial boys, Zheng Wanjun also hates a type of man: he is incompetent, but he still hates and suppresses excellent partners.
Wouldn’t it be great to support each other and achieve each other’s achievements?
Just for the so-called self-esteem of a man, he uses worldly prejudices to PUA women.
Ji Keji doesn't seem to be such a person.
Of course, it is also possible that he is still too weak and needs the support of the Zheng family.
But, does a ten-year-old child have such a scheming mind?
Furthermore, even if he succeeds in the future, he may not be able to reach the heights of the Zheng family.
Zheng Wanjun had already vaguely guessed that his family did not seem to be a well-off family.
After all, it is impossible for a real ordinary citizen to have the ability to invite retired nurturing mothers from the capital.
Zheng Wanjun had a guess in his mind and began to pay careful attention to all the details in Zao's home.
It didn't matter if she didn't pay attention, Zheng Wanjun discovered that her family's life was actually different from that of a real small family.
There are four "helpers" in her family, including her father's servant, the kitchen lady, a nun beside her mother, and a little maid.
How can an ordinary family afford to hire so many people?
Not to mention, these people may not be hired.
Zheng Wanjun observed carefully and boldly speculated: These people may be the children of the legendary family!
Moreover, there should be more than four in their family.
After all, these people are dedicated to their duties, but the water tank and woodshed of the Zheng family are never empty.
There are also meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables delivered regularly, cattle, sheep, poultry, leather and wool goods delivered during the New Year, etc...
"My parents just keep a low profile, but my family is most likely a wealthy family."
Zheng Wanjun silently kept this guess in his heart.
Then, she began to consciously inquire for information.
When I went to Qingfeng Temple once, I met a local old man who had read a book.
Zheng Wanjun took Ji Keji and pretended to be a curious child, asking him about famous people in the local area.
The old man said proudly: "Heyin Zheng family!"
Zheng Wanjun and Ji Keji's eyes lit up.
Zheng?
"That's right! They are our Zheng family in Heyin County. Their ancestral home is in Heyin Village, Heyin County. A hundred years ago, they were ordinary farmers."
"Later, the Zheng family produced a genius who knew how to read. He passed the scholar examination at the age of thirteen and won three yuan in a row. At the age of twenty-five, he was selected by the saint as the number one scholar."
"In the next hundred years, all the children of the Zheng family studied hard and took the imperial examination to become officials."
"The most dazzling generation is undoubtedly Zheng Shangshu, who has seven Jinshi in his family, and his father and son are both talented."
Zheng Shangshu?
Zheng Qi, the Minister of Rites, is Zheng Wanjun's direct grandfather and the father in "Father and Son Explore Flowers".
The "son" is Zheng Wanjun's biological uncle. He was sent to Zhezhou the year before last and became the fourth-rank magistrate with a bright future.
Zheng Wanjun: ...I knew my family might be a wealthy one, but I didn’t expect it to be so awesome.
Her grandfather was already the chief officer of the Sixth Department.
In a few years, it is very likely that he will join the cabinet.
Entering the cabinet is equivalent to worshiping the prime minister, which is an important official of the court who is inferior to one person and more than ten thousand people.
There are also uncles and others who are also very awesome.
There will be no fault lines in the Zheng family in the next thirty years.
Her biological father was the youngest son of the Zheng family. Not only was his parents doting on him, but his eldest and second brothers also regarded him as their responsibility.
Over the years, generous gifts have been sent to Beijing during every festival, as well as the birthdays of Mr. Zheng and the three children of the Zheng family.
Mr. Zheng loves to be quiet and doesn't want to show off. Madam Wan regards her husband as her top priority, so she naturally keeps a low profile.
Otherwise, given the Zheng family's family status, even the magistrate would hold him in high esteem.
Zheng Wanjun: ...very good. With such a family background, I am not afraid of meeting the Phoenix Man or the Zhongshan Wolf.
Because the Zheng family is really powerful, even if a rookie like Ji Keji works hard to grow, it will take thirty to fifty years to reach the heights of the Zheng family.
And by that time, her children and grandchildren have grown up, will she still be afraid of a bad old man?
Ahem, okay, Zheng Wanjun admitted that he thought too much.
The topic was also diverted.
With movable type printing and a chair that could be moved at will, Mr. Zheng began to face his daughter——
Although he is only seven years old, he is wise and sensible.
Thinking is like a wild horse and can always bring you unexpected surprises.
She is indeed my daughter, she has been so smart since she was a child.
Mr. Zheng knows that he is not good enough, but if he can give birth to good children, he can also train good students.
Who would think that Zheng Silang is a useless sick man?
Mr. Zheng regarded Zheng Wanjun as the apple of his eye. After realizing her extraordinary status, he became more and more indulgent.
Lady Wan has always obeyed her husband. When she saw her husband starting to educate her daughter himself, although she didn't agree with it, she still let it go silently.
As for the nanny invited from Beijing, she has become a decoration.
Occasionally, I would give Zheng Wanjun an etiquette lesson, or share the popular tricks in Beijing with Lady Wan.
The Zheng family's life has also entered a new stage.
Ji Sanlang, who had a wheelchair, began to try to do some work.
I can't do any physical work, but I can still do tasks like boiling water for cooking, basket weaving, and carpentry.
Later, Mr. Zheng's book printing workshop quietly opened, and Ji Sanlang went to work in the workshop.
He had studied carpentry and engraving for a while, and he was quite good at it.
For Ji Keji's sake, Mr. Zheng took great care of Ji Sanlang, and his salary was higher than the market price.
Ji Sanlang has a stable income, and Mrs. Ji San can continue to receive wages from Mrs. Gu.
The couple worked hard and earned two to three thousand copper coins a month.
Ji Sanlang and his wife were shocked when they saw so many copper coins.
"In addition to food and accommodation, I can still save so much money. This is only one month, if it is a year-"
Madam Ji San clapped her fingers vigorously, feeling that even ten fingers were not enough.
She smiled from ear to ear, as if she had seen her family save several taels of silver in a year.
After saving for three to five years, you can find a way to buy a small yard and have the bright prospect of it!
"Dad, please pinch me! Is this real? Why is it like a dream?"
Ji Sanlang is honest and does whatever his wife asks him to do.
"Hiss! It hurts! You idiot, if I ask you to pinch me, then pinch me really hard!" And pinched her so hard.
Lady Ji Sanni cursed coquettishly, but the smile on her face became brighter.
Her arm hurts so much, so this is not a dream!
Her family's life has really improved, a good life that she could not even dream of in the past!
The life of Ji Sanlang's family has improved, which is first reflected in the appearance of the family.
Ji Sanlang and Mrs. Ji San were no longer as numb, haggard, and old as they used to be, and there was light in their eyes.
Although he still looked timid and timid, he was more honest than unconfident.
Not to mention Ji Keji, after being raised in the Zheng family for several months, the dirt and smell of ink on his body disappeared, and his skin gradually turned white.
The calluses on my hands slowly softened and disappeared, and there were no more black stains between the nails that seemed to never be washed away.
Wearing clean, well-fitting clothes and having a unique temperament bred from studying, he looks like a handsome young man.
Ji Keji's appearance was not as refined as Zhao Qingyun's, but it was also a bit more masculine.
Zhao Qingyun is so beautiful that it's hard to argue between male and female, while Ji Keji is a handsome young man.
The two are different types of beauty, each with its own merits.
However, it is Zhao Qingyun who can give people the most critical impact on beauty.
Ji Keji has Mr. Zheng as his husband, and he works hard enough.
Although he, a latecomer, did not take the lead, he still had the capital to compare with Zhao Qingyun.
They are always compared by the teachers in the academy and their neighbors, but the parties involved, Ji Keji and Zhao Qingyun, are not affected by the rumors.
Ji Keji continued to study hard and treated Zhao Qingyun with great respect.
As for Zhao Qingyun, he hasn't had time to study or take care of his family, so how can he have time to worry about other people's comments?
Neither of them cared, but the people in the Ji family's old house listened to all those words...
