"What does this little lady call me to do?"

Qin Gong asked in the elegant dialect common to the Five Kingdoms.

The little lady in front of her is a village girl with a delicate face, although her appearance is not outstanding, but she has a unique vitality of this age all over her body, and her cheeks are full of healthy complexion. She wore a lotus pink blouse, a short-sleeved shirt over her head, and a long trimmed skirt underneath.

Just from the clothes, it can be seen that this little lady's family is quite wealthy and has a good quality of life.

If today's troubled times are like this, don't say dress so decently, many families only have one clothes to go out.

The handsome-looking village girl smiled.

"Does the little brother have a marriage match?"

Qin Gong's face stiffened, his cheeks flushed, and he replied dryly.

"My deceased father has already set me a marriage. ”

When the village girl heard this, her face darkened, and she left in a huff.

The farmer drinking tea in the tea shed on the side patted his thighs and laughed.

"That's the most beautiful girl in our ten miles and eight villages, you young man is not blessed. ”

Qin Gong was ridiculed so red-faced.

The ghost knows what the situation is in Maruzhou, Qin Gong was asked about his marriage match by various girls and women along the way, and everyone wanted to marry him.

At first, Qin Gong was embarrassed, and honestly replied that he was not married.

Later, he learned a lesson, and said that his deceased father had set him a marriage.

Just now, the village girl asked him if he had a marriage match, and Qin Gong guessed the next conversation.

He saw that the village girl returned to the crowd, followed the three or five friends to laugh and point at him, and was embarrassed.

"It really doesn't look like troubled times—"

Qin Gong muttered.

The people on the street are brightly clothed, even if they are patched, they are clean.

The adults are healthy, and the children playing on the roadside are white and cute, and there is a scene of prosperity and peace.

For a moment, he had a sense of time and space confusion.

But he has not forgotten his mission.

He originally wanted to go straight to Cangzhou, but halfway through the road, he learned that Jiang Pengji had led his troops from Cangzhou back to the state capital of Shangyang, Maruzhou.

Leading the old horse, Qin Gong touched the money bag with only a few copper plates left, and sighed helplessly.

He set out with him a lot of silver taels, which he supposedly should have been able to cover the expenses of the journey, but when he saw the miserable people along the road, he always had to buy more food and distribute it to them. Although it didn't delay the journey, it cost a lot.

Now he is so poor that there are only a few copper plates left.

When he entered the city, he was pitied by the noisy streets and pedestrians.

Qin Gong smelled the smell of food in the air, endured the saliva secreted, and led the thin horse onto the road.

The territory under Jiang Pengji has special rules, pedestrians and horses and vehicles have to take different roads, and there are even special officials to manage.

After entering the city, unless there are special circumstances, you are not allowed to gallop on horseback.

Staying on other people's turf, Qin Gong naturally would not deliberately make trouble.

I bought some hay to feed the horses with the only copper plate left, and bought two flatbreads and a bowl of coarse tea by the way.

While eating, he listened to the conversation of the tea guests with long ears.

Qin Gong was listening seriously, and a young man with clogs came running outside,

The young man's skin was dark, his facial features were flat, and his face was flushed with the flush that had emerged from running, and he shouted excitedly at the tea customers in the tea shop.

"It's going to be a board over there. ”

The proprietress of the tea shop slapped him on the back of the head angrily and scolded, "You little turtle calf, you don't study well all day long, and you can see what you can do." ”

The young man stomped his feet, "Auntie, it's not allowed to look at the excitement?"

The proprietress also wanted to teach a lesson, and a certain tea guest gave the boy a copper plate.

"Tell me, what's the news today?"

The tea shop is a place where news circulates and gossip flies, and the boy is the son of the proprietress and has a stubborn temperament, but he has an excellent memory and can always tell the tea guests all the news he hears. Many tea drinkers like to come here to drink tea and listen to gossip -

Qin Gong was also attracted by the young man's energetic words, and listened distractedly.

"Does the big guy know about the Nursery?"

The boy sold a pass.

The tea guest coaxed, "In the whole of Maruzhou, there are still people who don't know about the Nursery?

As soon as Jiang Pengji entered Xiangyang County, she set up a nursery to adopt orphans who lost their parents during the war.

Since then, the Foundling House has become a shelter for irresponsible parents to abandon their children – girls, to be precise – for war orphans, it is easier to enter the Foundry, and if the parents discard the sold girls, they have to sign a strict deed.

Now, four or five years later, the youngest of those children are also enlightened, and the older ones are able to work to support their families.

The boy said, "Someone went to the nursery to steal the child." ”

As soon as the voice fell, many tea customers sprayed tea.

"Going to the nursery to steal the baby?"

"Ground on the head of Lord Yama?"

"What beast that doesn't have long eyes does that?"

The tea guests were talking, and the young man sat in the center of the tea shop, like a storyteller, hanging everyone's appetite.

"I don't know, right? The stolen child is a girl from the Nursery Enlightenment Jiading Class, who do you guess is who stole the child?" The young man laughed, "It's actually the biological parents of this girl!

The boy gestured five fingers, and gloating was written all over his face.

The uninformed tea guest asked, "Is it normal for the biological parents to take away the child? Why do you need to pay 50 boards for each person when they are caught?"

Qin Gong outside also had this doubt.

"Do you know that the children who enter the nursery are either orphans of martyrs, orphans whose parents are dead and relatives refuse to take over, or baby girls who have been abandoned by their parents and elders. Another tea guest who had lived in Xiangyang County for a long time bowed his hand in the direction of the state capital, and then said, "The former is easy to say, if it is the latter, the elders must sign a deed to sever relations." Once the deed is signed, the children and elders are not allowed to get close to the children, don't say stealing the children, even if you see the upper side in private, you will be punished, and you will be punished!"

"Oh, no—why take the risk of stealing it if it's a girl?"

A deed broke off the blood relationship, and from any point of view, the child was no longer his parents'.

Blood relationship?

This thing can't match the paper deed!

The young man said, "You don't know, I have a good little in the Golden Scale Academy. Fa, the state pastor is preparing to expand the Golden Scale Academy, and this student source is to select a part from the Nursery Hall. That girl is from the Jiading class, and entering the Golden Scale Academy is a sure thing. The parents heard the news from nowhere, and their eyes came to their heads. The girls don't recognize it, and they use their brains to steal. ”

After entering the Golden Scale Academy, he is basically regarded as the personal inheritance team of the state pastor, and his future prospects can be poor?

Even if it's a female baby, it's a golden doll that has something to do with the state pastor.

If you can recognize your daughter, you won't lose anything.

The tea shop chatted enthusiastically.

Qin Gong drank tea, returned the pottery bowl, and followed the flow of people to the restaurant.

By the time he arrived, the fifty boards had already been beaten, and the dispersed crowd was giggling and talking.

Almost every citizen felt that the couple deserved it, and fifty boards were quite light.

The deed of severance of the relationship was signed, which is equivalent to selling the child to the state pastor Liuxi behind the nursery.

The power of life and death of the child is in the hands of Liu Xi, and the child belongs to the private property of the state pastor-

Are biological parents a fart?

This is not stealing back his own children, it is clearly stealing the private property of the state pastor, and it is already merciful not to kill him.

Qin Gong listened, surprised by Jiang Pengji's prestige in Maruzhou.
