The second update is to ask for pink.

*******……………******

When the whole family heard Goro say this, they all exchanged glances with each other. After hitting several soft nails in succession, even Lan'er was not discouraged. It seemed that she was determined to interact with them.

"In the past, this matter is almost the same as before." Zhang said.

"Brother, what did she say to you?" Lian Man'er asked Goro.

"What else can I say? That's all." Goro said, "She invited me to her house for dinner, but I didn't go. I didn't want anything I gave me."

"That's right." Zhang said.

Lian Man'er nodded. They didn't want to pay attention to Lian Lan'er, not only because of Lian Lan'er's proposal for marriage, but also because of Lian Lan'er's suspicious performance in the Lian Xiu'er incident made them frightened and heartbroken.

Even if they are brothers and sisters, there are people in this world who look down on each other. In the past, even Lan'er had no feelings for them, and they would not be surprised or sad about Lan'er's treatment. But Lan'er and Lian Xiu'er are different. The two are sisters, and they are also the daughters of Zhou's beloved. Usually, Lian Lan'er loves Lian Xiu'er very much. There is a sisterly relationship and a love relationship with Zhou.

The bystanders understood how Lian Lan'er treated Zhou and Lian Xiu'er. They didn't want Lian Lan'er to be as friendly as they did.

…………

Wulang came back from the county and still got up early and went to bed late, preparing to take the palace examination.

It will soon be Qingming Festival.

The day before the Qingming Festival, Lian Shouxin went to buy a lot of big paper and came back. The whole family sat around the kang. Cut big money and origami money. They had no money marks, so they could only use scissors to cut it.

Zhang and Lian Shouxin were responsible for cutting, and several children put down what they were doing and followed the latest chapter of origami money.

"Yester Ye'er told me that they would buy two stacks of large paper." Lian Man'er said while origami money.

"There are not many two stacks, and they are just starting to live. As I said, if they don't buy it, we can't pick them." Zhang said.

"You have to buy some of this, that's what it means. If you buy more and buy less, you will go to a grave, which is the most important thing." Lian Shuixin said.

On Qingming Festival, even the poorest families have to buy a few pieces of paper. They folded the paper money and went to visit the graves of their ancestors. Although Lian Shouli has no son now, he is still a share of the Lian family, so he naturally has to pay for the paper by himself.

Lian Man'er and Goro broke some paper money and put them separately from other paper money.

"Mr. Lu cannot go home here. It is also Mr. Lu's intention to keep the paper money for Mr. Lu to take it to the intersection in front tomorrow," Lian Man'er said.

"This should be." Zhang nodded, "Your father and I didn't remember it. Mr. Lu taught me very hard. It is unlikely that Wulang can pass the county exam and go to school in a private school alone. If it were another teacher, it would be far from it."

The whole family nodded. It goes without saying that famous teachers produce great disciples.

"Jizu and the others should arrive too," Zhang looked out the window, "The letter said that they were here today."

As he said this, Lao Du's loud voice came from outside the gate.

"The boss, Taicang's guests are here."

Lao Du is the newly hired fish farmer from Lian Man'er's family. Lian Man'er and the others called him Lao Du.

This is really about Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

The family was busy putting their shoes on and getting off the kang. As soon as they walked out of the house, Lian Jizu and Jiang had already walked in from outside. Lao Du followed behind them and carried two bags on their backs. It was obviously brought by the couple.

After they gave Lian Jizu and Jiang to the house, they greeted each other, and then they sat down and exchanged greetings.

Jiang opened up a burden that he brought, which was filled with neatly stacked paper money.

"Old man, old lady, master, wife, second master, second wife... Let's fold it together. Old man, old lady is old and it's hard to go back and forth. The master cannot leave Taicang at will, and there are many things at home. The wife, second master, second wife and the second wife cannot get rid of themselves, so let the uncle and I come back. At that time, the uncle kowtows in front of the grave and bring the family's feelings to him." Jiang explained.

"There are ready-made paper money sold in the shop, which is both beautiful and decent. The old man didn't let him buy that kind, so he had to ask for it. He gathered everyone together, cut it and folded it with his own hands, and said it was different." Lian Jizu said.

This is like something that the old man can do. To put it bluntly, it is to increase the cohesion of the family. Many of the old man's practices are for this purpose.

Jiang took out two snack boxes from another bag, and took out four rulers, saying that they were given one for each Lian Shouxin family and Lian Shouli family.

"...it was prepared by the old lady." Jiang Shi said.

Lian Man'er took a look and found that the two snack boxes looked pretty good. I don't know what the snacks were like. The four rulers were considered medium, much better than the one I gave to her last time when I was burning the pot.

Jiang said that it was Zhou who prepared it, so there was only gratitude and no room for pickiness.

Taicang brought the Eli Lilly, and Zhang was not happy.

"...You are here, we don't choose whether there are any qualities. You have a large population and you have to use money to live. This money is kept for life." Zhang wanted to say that you can save a little life and only earn the money you should earn. This is what she kept in her heart after hearing what Wang Wu told her, and wanted to say to the people in Taicang.

"Mom, we haven't finished folding the money yet." Lian Man'er said.

Zhang is straightforward. If you really say this, you will offend people. Moreover, it is useless to say it. Lian Jizu and Jiang in front of you are not the ones who can stop Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi.

"Yes, let's continue to fold." Zhang understood that Lian Man'er didn't want her to continue saying it, so she swallowed the words to her mouth.

Mrs. Jiang also sat obliquely on the edge of the kang, helping to fold paper money, while smiling and chatting with Mrs. Zhang.

Lian Man'er looked at Jiang. Jiang was originally a neat person, but when he was in the village, he was more beautiful than an ordinary wife. This time, Jiang's dress was even more extraordinary.

Today, Jiang's face was covered with pink and white hairpins. He had a red gold bead-inlaid hairpin on his head, and two red gold hairpins on his ears. He also showed a pair of yellow gold bracelets while his wrists were turned. There were also a big hair cloak she had just taken off, a Wenjin robe she wore, and a high-soled embroidered shoes under her feet. They were all exquisite, expensive, and the most popular styles.

The soles of the high-soled shoes must have smelled powder. As Jiang walked around just now, Lian Man'er could smell a faint fragrance.

Lian Jizu's dress was very similar to Jiang's, and he even wore three red gold gem-inlaid rings on his hand.

What Zhang wants to say is a bitter word. But obviously the two people in front of him will not appreciate it, so why should I say it?

After folding all the paper money, sitting for a while, Zhao and Lian Ye'er came over.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang said he wanted to prepare the meal.

"Let's eat here tonight." Zhang said.

Lian Man'er was beside Zhang, and she winked at Zhang with everyone on her back.

"His third uncle, have Jizu and his wife cleaned up? Has the kang burned up?" Zhang asked Zhao, then turned to Jiang, "Jizu's wife, why don't you follow your third aunt to clean up first. Now the weather is warm, the kang still has to burn. There is enough cooking staff, so don't worry."

"When his third uncle comes back from work later, come over quickly." Zhang said to Zhao again.

Jiang was a smart man. When Zhang said this, he knew that Zhang only kept them for dinner, but did not leave them to live here. To live, they still had to return to their old house.

Although he was not very happy, Zhang still prepared this supper very richly. After dinner, Lian Jizu and Jiang followed Lian Yeer and three of them to the old house, and the whole family sat around in the candlelight and talked.

Lian Man'er opened the snack box brought by Lian Jizu and Jiang. The snacks inside were pretty good.

"This seems to be the snack of the largest snack shop in Taicang County." Goro looked carefully at the patterns and shop marks on the snack box, and said.

"It's not easy for you to prepare these for us," Zhang sighed.

Lian Man'er took out the book of the favors he had received and recorded the gifts that Jiang brought this time in detail.

"I have recorded a booklet when dealing with Taicang." Lian Man'er said after finishing the booklet, shook the thin account book in her hand.

"I am happy that she gives us nothing." Zhang said, "Looking at the clothes of Jizu and his wife, how can he pay the salary of his uncle, the county magistrate?"

The salaries of officials in this dynasty are not paid for silver, but rice. The salary of the county magistrate is 780 kilograms of rice per month. In Taicang, including Niu Niu and Erlang's daughter, there are a total of sixteen people. On the surface, there are only the salary of Lian Shouren, a county magistrate. Even if it is not counted as Niu Niu and the newborn baby, according to the fourteen people, each person has an average of less than fifty-six kilograms of rice per month.

Save a little, you should be able to make a living.

Of course, in this era, officials who only rely on salary to make a living are extremely rare. However, it is not easy for an eighth-rank official to support such a family and to make Lian Jizu and Jiang wear it like that.

"I'm not dressing up like this for the time I burn the pot for us," Lian Zhi'er said.

"It's different now than before." Lian Man'er said.

The whole family knew what was different, but no one said it.

The next day, the men went to the grave early in the morning, while the women stayed at home to cook.

When Jiang saw that only Zhang and Lian Man'er were physically there, he handed a purse to Zhang.

"Aunt Four, the last time our uncle returned to Taicang, I got the money from Aunt Four. When I went back, the old man and the master knew about it and said to the uncle. I know, I don't care about the money, but in terms of reason, I really shouldn't have paid the money. The old man, the master's instructions to return the money to the fourth uncle, Aunt Four, and the note that the uncle was plagiarized by the uncle..." Jiang said with a smile at Zhang and Lian Man'er.
