Chapter Twenty-Seven: Plans Otherwise

When the two entered the door, they happened to meet Shi Lengzi and wanted to go out to find their daughter, and when they saw Xiangtao and Situ Cheng holding hands, they were immediately angry. raised his right hand and slapped Xiangtao with a loud slap, and was about to continue to hit when Situ Cheng stopped him and said:

"You want to make a big deal out of it, don't you, this is at your doorstep, do you have a glorious face for people to look at?"

Shi Lengzi was stunned for a moment, and said to the peach:

"Disobedient unfilial daughter, you let me in."

Situ Cheng also followed, and Shi Lengzi stopped him and said:

"Who let you in, and broke in without the permission of the master, is this a good girl taught by a sensible person?" One sentence invisibly scolded the Shi couple into it.

"I never said that I was a good girl, and I said that I was of unknown origin and lived in the Shi family." The meaning in the words is that he is like this, and he has nothing to do with the Shi couple.

"I've never seen you so shameless, it doesn't matter how you are, stay away from my peach. My daughter is still counting on marrying a good mother-in-law, but she can't ruin her reputation. Shi Lengzi was blunt.

"I'm embarrassed to talk about the marriage of the peach, who dares to come to the door to kiss you, the father. There is an ancient rite that says: The princes are twelve crowns, and the crowns give birth to children, and the rites are also. There is also a folk saying: a woman is 16 unmarried, a man is 20 unmarried, and his parents are guilty. Peach is also fourteen this year, and if she puts aside her daughter, it's time to get married. Think about it yourself, if the family goes on like this, where can you find a good in-law. As the saying goes, that's your sin. ā€

Situ Ming's crackling words made Shi Leng speechless.

I have never seen such a shameless woman, she is still in the boudoir, and she still runs out to discuss other people's marriages. He was ashamed of all the things he heard for her.

This little girl is not easy to mess with, she can come in if she wants to, and see what tricks she has to play.

Peach was so frightened of her father that her head was almost lowered to the ground, and her hands seemed to tremble.

"Uncle Shi, the junior made you angry with his rudeness just now, you sit down first to dissipate your anger." Situ Cheng went to the courtyard and gave him a look.

Shi was stunned that Situ Cheng had become knowledgeable when she entered the courtyard, and after seeing what she was going to say, she sat down on a stool in the courtyard.

"Uncle Shi, I know more or less about your family. You're a farmer, and you've had a worse life at home in the past few years. Situ Cheng complimented.

"Humph! Needless to say. Although Shi Zhizi's face was still cold, but in the end, his anger subsided, and everyone loved to listen to flattery.

"Besides, what happened two years ago, your son did nothing wrong, of course you are not wrong, what is wrong is that these villains and this unfair world." Situ continued.

Shi was stunned and glanced at her at this time, and everyone said that he shouldn't have twisted his thighs with thin arms, so he led to today's scene. Of course, everyone also knows in their hearts that those villains are something that ordinary farmers can't afford to mess with, and it's not all his fault. can be said that he is not wrong at all, Situ Yuan is the first person. In the past few years, he has lived in poverty, and he often reflects on whether he is really wrong, and whether he should swallow his anger.

"Everyone is already struggling enough to survive, so why bother to find so many reasons to restrain themselves. I also know that you will pay more than others every year, and in addition to the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, in the end, you can't take care of the rest of your food. In fact, in the Jiangzhou area, it is very common for many women to gather in one place to weave and embroider. And they all feed a large family out of this, so why can't we follow suit. Situ Mian continued to persuade him.

"Uncle Shi, I am here to assure you that I will never let Peach show up at the market. She weaves her own cloth at home, and when she has finished weaving, she will send it to me, and I will sell it at home and give you the money. This will be beneficial to you and harmless, and when the time comes, your foreign debts will be paid off, and your family will be well-off. Outsiders will praise you for being prescient, and who cares about the rules. ā€

Shi stunned thought about the bright prospects, and couldn't help but nodded.

"The family conditions are good, and it also has the credit of the peach. At that time, the neighbors praised the little peach girl for being so capable, and no one rushed to kiss her. Situ continued.

The stone flute who said it moved his heart, made up his mind to pat his leg and stood up and said:

"You little girl has sharp teeth, black can be said to be white, I won't tell you." Then he went into the house.

Xiang Tao is a little blind, her father didn't pursue her today's matter, that's it?

"Silly Nizi, your father has acquiesced." Situ Cheng poked her head with her finger and said.

Next, Situ Weaving also had a companion and often stayed with Peach Blossom. It's just that it's the spring plowing season, and Uncle Shi doesn't have free time to set up stalls in the market to sell goods.

In fact, the Shi family knew in their hearts that the stalls they earned from setting up stalls last winter had been farming for several years.

Although the past two years have been good, there have been no droughts and floods. In fact, the peasants paid taxes and miscellaneous taxes harshly, coupled with the layers of exploitation of those officials. After a year of hard work, in fact, there is no surplus in the hands of the peasants, at most it is guaranteed to be full of food and drink, and there are clothes to cover the body.

Thatched houses are not as strong as brick houses, and they also need to be repaired every year, so a little surplus is used on them.

Last year, the Shi family was stained with Situ Ming's light, and they had money in their hands, so they repaired all the leaks in the house before the middle of winter.

The cotton in the previous quilt had long since formed a piece because of the age, and so did the cotton clothes. Situ Cheng built yƬ all replaced them with new ones, but the Shi couple was used to being thrifty and thought it was too wasteful. After all, I couldn't resist this little girl, and I replaced it with a new one inside and out.

What's even more gratifying is that Mi'er and Shi Zi'er are not suffering from chilblains this year, and then they have added a lot of daily things and eaten delicious food that was rare before. The Shi family has a new look, but it envies those neighbors.

The reason why Shi Lengzi agreed to Xiang Tao's request is also for this reason, after all, the Shi family's life is better than any family in the village.

It's just that this dynasty is still relatively bad for doing business, after all, agriculture is the foundation of the country. Border defense, the most important thing to expand the territory is grain and grass. If there are more merchants, there will inevitably be fewer people who can farm, and the country will have no surplus grain to do.

Therefore, Uncle Shi did not dare to waste the crops, but had to plant harder than others. If some jealous neighbors come to the landlord and accuse him of abandoning agriculture and business, then his sin will be great.

The Shi couple persuaded Situ Cheng to put aside the trading in the market first, and let her rest by the way. The family is already doing quite well, and there is still money left. The Shi family is quite satisfied with their current life.

Situ Ming has her own plans, she is ready to earn more silver, so that she can have a trip to Kyoto.
