Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11003

"But when it comes to my son's generation, it's hard to say."

"How old is your son? What is he doing now?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

"My son is twelve years old and has passed the Tongsheng Examination. I want him to study and see if he can take another path in the future."

"Ambitious……"

"Hey, you can't make a fortune by running this shop, and it's hard to find a wife..."

"But the shop opposite seems to be making a lot of money..."

"Yes, their family does have a lot of money, but I don't care about that kind of money."

The words were not unusual and won the admiration of Yang Ruoqing and others.

"Okay, guests, can you see if this paper is OK? If it is OK, I will start to lighten the eyes." Wang You raised his head and asked Yang Ruoqing and Yang Huazhong.

"Wait a minute, let's take a look." Yang Ruoqing said, and Yang Huazhong, Dajie and others gathered around Zhizha.

Looking from head to toe...

This thing is based on the method taught by Yuan Taoist priest, and it is a substitute for Da Sun.

Burning this substitute was equivalent to protecting the Great Sun family from disaster.

"I think there's nothing wrong with it." Yang Huazhong said. Based on the experience of burning paper bundles for Yang Huaming's mother-in-law last time, this time Yang Huazhong focused on checking whether there was any damage on the surface of the paper bundles.

Dajie also circled around the paper tie, touched his chin and nodded gently, "I can't see what's wrong."

Yang Ruoqing looked at it most carefully. After reading it, she felt that it was not damaged and had no long or short legs. If she clicked on the eyes, it would be really lifelike.

but--

"Shopkeeper Wang, make another pair of gloves for this paper bag and let her wear them."

"Gloves?" Wang You was a little surprised, because this was the first time he heard this kind of demand. It is very common to equip paper bundles with clothes, shoes, socks and hats.

But it was the first time for Wang You to put on gloves for Zhizhao.

Yang Huazhong didn't say a word. He was thinking about the purpose of Yang Ruoqing's request.

After all, Dajie is younger and likes to ask if he doesn’t understand, “Cousin, why do you need to put gloves on my mother? What’s the purpose of this?”

Yang Ruoqing said: "Daozhang Yuan's explanation."

"But as long as I can remember, my mother never wore gloves when working," Dajie added. "Last time Huang Mao saw that she had frostbite on the back of her hands, so she made a pair of warm gloves for her, but she I didn’t wear them even once, she said wearing gloves would make things worse.”

"Dajie, you don't understand. Your mother has been killing pigs for more than twenty years, and her hands are covered in blood."

"Not to mention that you need to wear gloves when pinning this paper. Even if your father and your mother go to the west in a hundred years, you and Xiaojie will have to remember to wear gloves on their hands. This is the rule. rule."

"The rules in the doorway?" Dajie opened his mouth, his eyes behind the lenses showing confusion.

Yang Huazhong also thought about it at this time. He patted Dajie on the shoulder and said, "I've heard this too. When a butcher dies, his family must wear gloves on their hands."

"Do you really need to wear gloves?"

"Ok!"

Wang You, who was standing by, also realized, "Oh, after all this time, you guys wanted the paper figurine to be a substitute? The original person was a butcher, right?"

"correct."

"Then I understand. Just wait, I'll make gloves right now!"

Wang You turned around, took two pieces of tinfoil and covered it on the back of Zhizha's hand. He traced the outline of the back of Zhizha's hand, then cut it out, and quickly made a set of gloves that fit right on Zhizha's hand. "The gloves I made look like they grow together with your hands, so they can definitely look real!" Wang You looked at his work, with a hint of pride in his tone.

Yang Huazhong and Yang Ruoqing are also very satisfied with Wang You's craftsmanship. He is indeed a talent.

The nerdy Dajie still couldn't figure out what kind of elegance this was.

Seeing his puzzled look, Yang Ruoqing thought to herself that it was no wonder that she and Da'an were studying together, and Da'an was able to get the top prize and go all the way to the capital.

Dajie, however, took the exam two or three times before he finally passed the exam. Even so, he was able to pass the exam this time because of the guidance of Daan.

Without Daan's guidance, Dajie might have stopped being a scholar.

Yang Ruoqing didn't want Dajie to continue to embarrass her, so she said to Dajie: "The rules in the family are that the butcher's hands were stained with too much blood during his lifetime, and he will be punished after his death."

"The punishment is to chop off both hands."

"Ah? This is too... too cruel!" The nerdy Dajie's face turned pale and he took a breath of cold air as he spoke.

Yang Ruoqing thought to herself, how cruel is this?

Go to the temple and look at the scroll hanging on the wall in front of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Hall. It depicts the ten halls of Yama, as well as the interrogation scenes in each Yama hall in the future. There are also text introductions and various sentencing rules. .

There are words and pictures, so that’s really cruel!

It's just that that kind of cruelty is directed at those who have committed most heinous crimes during their lives, so it's not called cruelty, it's just as it should be, and it's called pleasing to the people.

So do your best to be kind in your conduct.

What if there really are ten palaces waiting for you?

Even without the constraints and intimidation of ten palaces, you don't have to be too ruthless and selfish as a person. Be broad-minded, be kind to others, stick to your own principles, and live a transparent and casual life. This is to please yourself and please yourself.

People who are narrow-minded and do all kinds of bad things are not happy in nature.

Okay, let’s get back to the topic. Yang Ruoqing continued to say to Dajie: “So we made this paper tie and put on gloves on the paper tie, so that when we chop the hands, the gloves will block it. Do you understand?”

"I understand..." Dajie murmured, "But the paper tie itself is used as a stand-in. Will the gloves wear out?"

Yang Ruoqing tilted her head, feeling a little... speechless at Dajie's question.

"Whether we are cheating or not is not something we have to worry about. We just have to follow the old rules," she said.

"Since it is an old rule, it must exist for a reason. Let's not think about the twists and turns. Let's just follow it."

Dajie nodded and stopped asking any more questions.

After nearly half an hour, the paper binding was finally completed.

Because the eyes were opened, in Wang You's words, the paper tie had a certain spirituality. Before taking it back and burning it, Wang You took a piece of black cloth and tied the eyes of the paper tie horizontally.

Yang Ruoqing took out a piece of silver and threw it to Wang You, "This is the wages."

Wang You took the ingot of silver with both hands and saw that it was five taels in total!

He was shocked and said, "More, too much, too much!"

According to the normal price, five to six hundred cents is enough.

If it were three times the amount promised previously, it would still be less than two taels of silver.

But now I have given five taels, which is really a ridiculous amount...

"This price is worth it to you." Yang Ruoqing said.

"Today is already the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year will be celebrated in three or four days. Take the money, close up shop early, and spend the New Year with your family!"

"That's it. I've been busy all year long, so busy that my feet have never touched the ground, but I'm still just making ends meet."
