Country life is busy in the early morning and evening. The fields should be tended, watered and fertilized. The rest of the time, as long as it is not the busy farming season, is still very leisurely.

Yao Shiyi followed the Nianfu family to Giorthoorn Village, and also asked for a small vegetable plot of about 20 steps square, planting a few kinds of greens and eggplant loofahs, watching them grow up day by day, his heart was full of a sense of achievement, and he felt that the days were much better than when he was in Pingwangfu.

It's just that she is an idle person, since she has nothing to do during the day, she found the servant woman on the Zhuangzi to learn basket weaving, although she is not very good, but she is not tired of it.

Yao Shiyi even had a thought, if she could live here all the time, how good would it be if she didn't go back to the Pingwang Mansion? But she also knows that this kind of thing is not up to her own hands. said that the letter from the Mu family to Xuancheng to report her safety should have arrived a long time ago, but why has there been no response from the family so far?

Even if you run away from home, your father and mother will be angry, but you won't just throw yourself down and ignore it, right? Daddy is down, but the mother only has one daughter, how can she ignore her?

But if there is news from my father, most of them are going to take her back, right? What about her and Hou Fangyu's relationship...... Yao Shiyi's eyes darkened.

If in the past, she never felt that she had any problems with Hou Fangyu, but after getting to know Nianfu, she gradually understood that there are not so many things to take for granted in this world.

Is it possible to stop?

Yao Shiyi didn't know.

She only knew that she still liked Hou Fangyu, she would blush when she saw him, her heart would beat faster when she was close to him, and if she saw him sad, she would be even more sad. It's like-every time Hou Fangyu looks at Nianfu's gaze. It made her heart feel as if she had been pricked by a needle.

A distraction, the small thorn on the basket stabbed into his hand, and suddenly rolled out a red bead of blood. There was an inexplicable panic in my heart, so I sucked on myself, and the blessing came.

With a solemnity and seriousness that he had never felt before, he called everyone in her room out, and looked at her for a long time without speaking.

"If there's something, just say what's the big deal." Yao Shiyi was even more panicked, but she still put on a look of indifference on her face.

Nianfu pointed to the high chair across from her, motioning for her to sit down before talking.

Yao Shiyi was puzzled. But he got up from the pony. Confused, she sat down, and when she sat down, she understood Nianfu's kindness.

"Your father, for taking bribes. Assist merchants in tax evasion. The evidence is conclusive. has been escorted to Beijing. ”

"What?" Yao Shiyi's face flushed instantly, and Huo Di stood up from the chair, "My father." My dad ......."

Nianfu glanced at her sympathetically, and continued to finish speaking, "The Holy Lord has already made a ruling, and your father has betrayed and decided. All the property was confiscated, and the wives and children were sold into slavery. ”

Yao Shiyi sat back on the chair with her buttocks again, her originally flushed face instantly turned pale, it was still daylight, she only felt that her eyes were black for a while, and the world was spinning.

How so?

How so!

Seeing Yao Shiyi's devastated appearance, Nianfu was really sympathetic, but this matter was really not something she could interfere with.

There is one thing that Nianfu kindly concealed, that is, the reason why Yao Tongzhi was reported was that Yao Shiyi was a fuse.

These days, it was enough for her to inquire very clearly about the ins and outs of the matter.

Yao Shiyi ran away from home to find Hou Fangyu, which was just a joke. But the problem is that Yao Tongzhi once wanted to give this daughter to Lord Thorn Shi as a concubine, and this matter was not very low-key, and many people knew about it. At the moment, this matter is still inconclusive, but the person has run away, what does this make others say?

The first thing that comes to mind is that Lord Thorn Shi is so old, and in the eyes of the little girl, he is definitely not as attractive as a young and strong young man.

But this kind of talk has been spread a lot back and forth, and rumors have gradually spread in the market about Lord Thorn Shi's inadequacy, and the more he says it, the more ugly it becomes.

This kind of thing is something that a man can't bear.

Lord Assassin Shi is extremely angry, and as soon as he makes a move, it is a killing move.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and corruption in officialdom has always existed, as long as it is controlled within an appropriate degree, the court will also turn a blind eye.

The problem is that Yao Tongzhi, or the fifth lady shouldn't have hacked the five thousand taels of silver of the Hou family.

This matter was caused by a stir at that time, but was persuaded by Hou Fangyu. But there are still rumors, and in the back, Yao Tongzhi deliberately made it difficult to suppress the Hou family a few times, and they all fell into the handle.

In the end, as soon as it was sorted out in the hands of the assassin, it became a collusion between Yao Tongzhi and the Hou family, and later due to the uneven distribution of spoils, there was infighting, so each of them played fifty boards, and as a typical case, the bribe-taker and the bribe-giver were sent to the capital for accountability.

Officialdom makes a move, if you don't make a move, it will be done, and you will kill people.

When Nianfu brought the news he had initially found back to discuss with Mu Shaoqin, he accurately judged, "The Yao family will collapse." As for the Hou family, it is impossible to get out of the way. But sin does not lead to death, so let them prepare money to atone for their sins. ”

As a result, the Hou family almost exhausted the country that Mrs. Hou had worked hard to fight all his life, and finally saved the lives of Hou Xianglin and his wife.

And the Yao family was not so lucky.

The facts are all there, the evidence is conclusive, and there are still people who have investigated Yao Tongzhi's conduct of taking a lowly concubine from Qinglou as his wife over the years, regardless of dignity and inferiority, and his death is ironclad.

As for Yao Shiyi's mother-in-law, the fifth lady, who has enjoyed half a lifetime of happiness, is more eye-catching than Yao Tongzhi, and picked up a pack of rat medicine on the way to Beijing and committed suicide by taking poison.

A home that has just risen collapsed in an instant.

After hearing about it, Nianfu also had a moment of confusion and unbearable.

Yes, even if Yao Shiyi has never done anything bad, but as the daughter of a embezzler, every bite of food she eats and every piece of clothing she wears at home has money that her father has embezzled, so as an accomplice, it is nothing for her to be punished.

But what Nianfu can't accept is that how can he beat people from good people to slaves overnight, and he has no chance to turn over in his life, which is too cruel!

But Mu Shaoqin told her daughter seriously, "So, if you don't want others to be cruel to you one day, you have to manage contacts and forces that people can't ignore." Like that Yao Tongzhi, if his things happen to others, such as Wang Cang, at most he will be dismissed from office. But his foundation is still shallow, and he acted so carelessly, and he can only blame himself for ending up like this. ”

Nianfu understands, persimmons should be pinched softly, and if you want not to be pinched, you have to make a hard persimmon.

She now has her father and cousin as her backer, and the backstage is hard enough, but this is not enough, she has to make more friends, and more people are willing to associate with her, which is her own foundation.

So although Nianfu seems to be playing crazy in the Grange every day these days, when she went back at night, she also wrote a lot of letters and sent a lot of things to the capital.

Like Princess Yongning, she received the little gnather sent by Nianfu, and Princess Zhenshun received the pumpkin flowers sandwiched in the book, these small gifts full of local flavor are not expensive, but they are very interesting, and with a short and lively letter, they can see that they are comfortable at the same time, but also some parents in the capital to bring her over.

Sometimes people's friendships don't care about the amount of money, just in this little detail.

It's just that right now, Nianfu will face an extremely severe test for her. After receiving the exact news from the capital, she had to come to Yao Shiyi in person and tell her about her family's misfortune.

"You have two choices now, one is to choose to surrender to the government and let the government sell it. The other is to sell yourself to me and be my slave. ”

When Nianfu said this, she didn't dare to look at Yao Shiyi's eyes, but she forced herself to look at it. Because Mu Shaoqin told her that if she really wanted to help her, there was only this way, and she had to learn to face all this.

Nianfu is not a person of this era, although there are many slaves in the family, most of them are not Nianfu, even if it is Zhongshan, he has already been reduced to slavery.

But Yao's poetry is different.

When Nianfu met her, she was a free person, and aside from those prejudices, she should be regarded as a girl with a good family background. She even had the opportunity to marry Hou Fangyu and be the wife of a wealthy businessman, but now, she has to be a slave of people, such a gap, let alone experience, even if you think about it, Nianfu feels extremely difficult.

But she had to face all this, because Nianfu knew that she would also be the head of the family in the future, and she would not only have her own net worth and life on her shoulders, but also countless people behind her. So no matter how difficult it was, she forced herself to look up and see Yao Shiyi's current appearance clearly.

Even if she was stimulated by the sadness and despair on her face and wanted to escape in the next second, she still had to sit there and look at her fixedly.

The daylight that leaked through the window crawled over and crawled away again.

The two girls sat silently, facing the same cruel trials of their lives.

I don't know how long it took to finally get out of this heavy and almost suffocating situation.

didn't cry, but Yao's poetic voice was hoarse, "What if...... I'll sell myself to you, will I have a chance to meet my father? Or do I have to go back to the slave house to see him? ”

Nianfu thought he nodded, but in fact, his chin moved slightly, and his voice trembled, "I'll help you arrange it." ”

Then, dragging heavy steps, he left.

When she walked out of the door, she heard a hoarse, mournful, suppressed cry like a lost lamb, and it was as uncomfortable as a cat's scratch.

Ke Nianfu forced herself to stand there, listened for a while, and then secretly swore in her heart: In this life, she will never let her family fall into such a situation and cry like this!

It was at this moment that she had a deeper understanding of why Ouyang Kang would rather make Su Cheng angry than have the determination to go to the envoy.

Because he also wants to better protect their families.

He's working hard, so he's going to have to work harder.
