Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 257 Curious Baby

   Do you want to use this big pot of wine to burn honeycombs? Jiang Liu looked around at the weeds and looked up at the old wooden house, expressing his concern.

   Several military maids guarded the three girls in the middle, ready to take them out of the yard at any time. Jiang Erye looked back and saw that his girls were all staring at him, and then he smiled and ordered, "Yin, go and bring the carriage in and let them hide in the car and watch."

   Yayin reminded, "This door is too narrow for carriages to enter."

   Jiang Erye said nonchalantly, "Remove the door frame, and if you can't get in again, tear down the wall."

  Crow Hidden…

  Huang Jianyun jumped up immediately, "I'm going to remove the door frame!"

  Kang Yuefang asked curiously, "Second Uncle Jiang bought this yard?"

   Jiang Erye explained, "Someone asked me to help him find a yard in the west city. Although this yard is small, it is just right for the eastern yard, which combines two courtyards."

   Jiang Liu's eyes lit up, it must be Uncle Guo who asked Daddy to find the yard. Since it was going to be demolished and rebuilt, it would be normal to demolish doors and walls. She was curious about what the eastern courtyard looked like, so she took her sister out of the weed yard to see the eastern courtyard.

   The door to the yard on the east side was open, and there were still people living there. Jiang Muyan looked at the width of the wall left and right, and said in a low voice, "This should be four main rooms, or three main rooms plus the width of the left and right side rooms, plus the west courtyard with only three main rooms at the top, it should be enough for people.

  Kang'an City has an inch of land and an inch of gold. These two courtyards cannot be taken down without three or five hundred taels. The Guo family has a thin background, and it is not easy to come up with this money. The Jiang family was able to buy the current big house in Kang'an because the Jiang family was already a wealthy family in Quanzhou. After Mrs. Jiang sold the fields in Quanzhou, plus his savings from many years as an official, he turned it over to friends. Some, to get enough money.

   Nine-year-old Wu Mai Qin Bai saw the girl staring at the wall in front of her in a daze, so she volunteered to say, "Girl, the servant girl climbed up that big tree to see how many rooms there are?"

   Jiang Liu shook his head, "No need, I'll ask Daddy and I'll know."

   That's right, Qin Bai scratched his head and smiled naively.

   After a while, the gate of the west courtyard had been removed by Yayin, but the width was still not enough. Yayin and Huang Jianyun began to scrape the wall. Jiang Liu was about to go over with his two sisters to see if they could help, when he heard the sound of hooves behind him. She looked back and waved her little hand in surprise, "Brother!"

   It wasn't until he was near that Jiang Liu realized that there was Guo Nanxiong behind his brother. Guo Nanxiong dismounted and greeted everyone, then rushed into the yard and ran to Jiang Erye's side, "Second Uncle, is this the yard?"

   Jiang Erye nodded, "The east courtyard is smaller, and this is just right."

  Guo Nanxiong whispered, "Actually, the yard in the east is big enough for my father and I to live."

  When your father comes back, you are not two, but three. Erye Jiang patted Guo Nanxiong on the shoulder, "It's always better to be more spacious."

  Guo Nanxiong nodded, Jiang Erye introduced Kang Yueliang, "Yueliang, this is Guo Nanxiong, the son of the new champion of martial arts. This house was found for their father and son. Nanxiong, this is your brother Kang."

The two greeted each other, and Kang Yueliang smiled and said, "Since it is General Guo's residence, Yueliang should also contribute. Nanxiong, your father's strategy during the palace examination is brilliant, and I will admire it. Let's go. , let's go over there to help."

   Guo Jingping was named the champion in the hall test, and he was named General Ningyuan of the fifth grade, so Kang Yueliang was called "General". Seeing that Jiang Erbo didn't say anything, Guo Nanxiong followed Kang Yueliang out.

   There are many mosquitoes in summer, weeds are lush in this courtyard, and mosquitoes are even more abundant elsewhere. Afraid that her sister would be bitten by mosquitoes, Jiang Ling was taking someone to clean up the weeds. Kang Yueliang and Guo Nanxiong also came to clean up together.

   Let the grandson of Guozhang Huguogong help pull the weeds. If anyone else would be grateful or politely decline, Jiang Ling just smiled at him and continued to clean up the weeds.

   Although Kang Yueliang grew up in Duke Huguo's mansion, he was also the son of a military commander, and he still had some strength. When a place was cleared and the walls were ripped up enough to allow carriages to enter, the sky was already dark. Clouds cover the moon tonight, much darker than before.

   Jiang Erye told the little guys to take shelter, so he ordered people to move the ladder up to stab the beehive. The little sisters of the Jiang family hid in the carriage, pulled the curtains open a crack, and watched with wide eyes.

   When the person to stab the honeycomb was ready, Erye Jiang ordered the extra torches to be extinguished, leaving only two long torches on the edge of the wine basin.

   After the honeycomb was stabbed, it fell into the wine basin below with a plop, and the torch was moved to the wine basin. The vision of the wasps outside the hive at night is not as good as that in the daytime. After the honeycomb landed, the wasps flew towards the bright light. Later, Jiang Liu then smelled the strange smell of the wasp, and heard the sound of the wasp falling into the water.

   About two quarters of an hour later, Erye Jiang, who was hiding tightly, asked, "Has someone been stung by a bee?"

  Huang Jianyun shouted, "Second Uncle, if someone was stung by a wasp, they would have woken up long ago. The wasp sting would hurt."

   Jiang Erye nodded and led everyone forward to check the situation in the big wooden basin. Jiang Liu glanced at it and saw a dense layer of wasps floating in the wine basin, making the scalp tingle.

   Jiang Ling pulled her sister, "Don't be afraid, the wasp that was not killed by the fire was also drowned by the wine."

   Jiang Liu nodded and hid behind his father with his sister. Jiang Erye ordered someone to cover the wooden basin with a lid, carry it back to the yamen, and then walked back with a group of little guys.

  Kang Yueliang chased after him and asked, "Why did the second uncle use wine to soak the wasps?"

   Jiang Erye replied, "The wasp is also known as the hornet. Although it is poisonous, it can be used to make wine to cure diseases."

   "What disease can be cured?" Curious baby Kang Yueliang asked again.

   "It's very useful." Jiang Erye said while shaking his fan, "Hubee wine can promote blood circulation and relieve pain, dispel wind and activate meridians. People with rheumatism and joint pain can drink some tiger head bee wine every day to relieve pain."

  Huang Jianyun asked, "My grandfather's knees hurt when he encounters cold and wet weather. After the second uncle has made the wine, can he give his nephew a pot?"

   Jiang Erye nodded, "Okay, I'll keep a pot for you, and Yueliang will bring a pot back as well."

   "Thank you second uncle." Kang Yueliang followed Jiang Erye closely and asked, "Where did second uncle learn about this and the method of poking the hornet's nest?"

   Jiang Mujin on the carriage behind said in a low voice, "How many questions has he asked for a long time?"

   "A lot." Jiang Muyan also felt that Kang Yueliang was noisy, and silently added a line to Duke Huguo's mansion: Sun Kangyueliang, the eldest son of Duke Huguo, talked a lot.

   Next, Kang Yueliang was always chasing after Daddy to ask questions, and it was hard for Daddy to have the patience to explain to him. Jiang Liu listened so much that he wanted to write "Shut up" and stick it on his forehead.

   After returning to the house for dinner, Jiang Ling and Guo Nanxiong went to the front yard to rest, and Erye Jiang left the two daughters in the room. Seeing that Daddy's posture meant that he had something to say, Jiang Muyan sat up straight and lowered her head slightly. Jiang Liu held the candy that her brother gave her before he left, and with bright peach eyes, she happily waited for her father to say something.

   Dear book friends, I was involved in poking the hornet's nest and making wine when I was a child. However, the lighting tool we use is a flashlight, whether it is possible to use fire, I don't know, I haven't tried it.

   But we once raised firewood late and kicked the big tree hard. The treatment on the tree was frightened, and it would fly into the fire one after another, presumably the wasps were similar.
