The bolt took the silver ticket from Liu Cuitian, and carefully packed it closely, "When it is empty, I will first redeem five taels of silver to spend, and the pillar will be built in the family library, which is to enter the school to study, buy new clothes, make book bags, and prepare four treasures, which do not cost money." The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is still a rope, and when I get older in the future, I will go in to study for a few years. My great-grandmother said that even if she is a daughter's family, she has to study, and she should not be blind and illiterate......"

Liu Cuitian looked like the eldest son of a little adult, and wanted to scold a few words, but the bolt had his own thoughts, and everyone outside knew about his mother's family, but Liu Cuitian hid it from him, and if it continued like this, his own life would not be able to pass. Liu Cuitian reluctantly followed behind the bolt and looked back suddenly, Jiang Ruoning and his party had already walked far on the official road back to the county seat.

The old lady is gone, and Princess Fengge won't care about them anymore.

Since then, people are princesses on the top, and they are ordinary people.

Liu Cuitian let out a long breath.

In front of the grave of the Hejiang clan, the Shi clan was still scolding there, scolding the neighbors who had robbed the sacrifices, where there was still an onlooker, who had dispersed all morning, but there was the smell of wine and vegetables in the air, and when he smelled it, Shi only felt a pain in his heart.

Shi Shi turned his head, and Si was bending down to place the offerings: three boiled eggs, a piece of boiled knife head meat, a bowl of rice, and a glass of wine.

"Grandma, the second grandma is pregnant, it's not for you to prepare sacrifices, look at you, what are these preparations? Everyone outside says that you are not filial, shouldn't you be more attentive and let our family be ridiculed? ”

Shi was saddled with the name of unfilial piety, because of this, even Hetuzhu said that Shi was unfilial to the old lady, which made Shi feel very embarrassed and thought that this reputation was entrusted by the Si family. The Si family is down, even the Si master was beheaded, the men, women and children of the Si family are still in prison, everyone says that the Si family wants to murder Qincha, and the crime cannot be punished. Although it happened more than ten days ago, but when it reached the ears of the people of Qingxi County, it was a big case.

"Master Si killed Qincha?"

"It's true, this Qin Cha is the emperor's prince, and his courage is too great."

"If you are complicit in rebellion, you will be punished."

Yesterday, He Tiezhu was invited back to the clan, and He Tuzhu and he were deceived into threatening him, which roughly means "You can no longer have anything to do with the Si family, Master Si conspires against him, and assassinates Qincha, which is a matter of punishing the three clans." The eldest brother knows what the three clans are, that is, the wife clan, the mother's clan, and the in-law clan, and the Si clan married by the eldest brother belongs to the in-laws......"

He Tiezhu was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore, and as soon as he went home, he warned the Si clan that he must not ask Jiang Ruoning to intercede, this is a matter of the three clans, in case Jiang Ruoning knew that the Si clan was the sister of the Fengtian Mansion Si Shangjia, their family would be punished.

Si's family is in her mother's house, she is a concubine, and her brother doesn't treat her very well, she went early, but she just wanted to make some profits, and now that the other party is guilty, how dare she get involved.

He Tiezhu still really likes Si's, and at this moment, when he saw Shi's attack on Si's, he argued: "Mother! Our family has 25 acres of fertile land and a house, and it is very good that grandma can prepare these. The second brother has a big family business, why don't you let him prepare. ”

He Tuzhu said unhurriedly: "Your family belongs to your family, and my family has my own family." Let Edamame open the food box, and hold plate after plate of offerings from it.

The water column led his wife and children and laid out his own offerings.

There are few families, there are many three, and when you put them in one place, there are more than a dozen.

Farewell, Hejia Village!

Jiang Ruoning lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside, on the horseback in front, there were Murong Lian and Li Guan, Li Guan accompanied her today, and had been silently accompanying her to burn the paper, ingots, and paper.

During the march, a girl's immature voice suddenly came out: "The people's daughter Zhi Xiaomei asks the princess to make the decision for the people's daughter!" ”

Shang cheered "Xiaomei", quickly lifted the curtain, and looked fixedly at a half-grown girl kneeling on the side of the official road, looking at twelve or thirteen years old, on her side, there was a woman with a blue flower and arrowroot cloth, and not far away there was a shy country man, next to him there was an ox cart and a big yellow ox.

Jiang Ruoning groaned and pondered: Xiaomei is said to be a pair of homeless grandchildren she took in back then. Xiaomei's parents died early, and lived with her grandfather Zhibo, the family was originally a tenant, and later, in one winter, there was a fire at home, and Zhibo rushed into the fire to rescue his granddaughter in order to save Xiaomei, who was four or five years old, and didn't want his leg to be broken by the beam. After Zhibo recovered from his injury, he became a cripple, and he could no longer do farm work, and when it rained, his injured leg hurt his heart.

Shang Huan jumped off the phoenix, approached Xiaomei, and asked, "Why are you dressed in filial piety, what about your grandfather?" I sent you away back then, but I prepared ten acres of fertile land for you early in the morning, and gave you a few dozen taels of silver to let you go back to your hometown to build a house......"

Tuesday Niu had tears in her eyes and said, "Zhibo will be gone on February 13th." The people of Guanyin Town saw that Xiaomei was an orphan girl, and there were wicked people who forced Xiaomei to be a child daughter-in-law, in fact, they wanted to occupy her family's fertile land and house, and for these three months, Xiaomei was locked in the firewood room by them, and only gave two steamed buns a bowl of water a day, and lied to the outside world that Xiaomei was his daughter-in-law, and also made a false document, saying that Zhibo promised her to marry his family before his death.

Two nights ago, Xiaomei slipped out of the firewood room, climbed the wall and escaped from Guanyin Town, and fled to my house to ask for my help. I heard that this is the old lady of the He family, and I thought that the princess was going to pass here, so I brought her to ask the princess for help. ”

Jiang Ruoning had heard of Xiaomei and Zhibo, and he couldn't remember who this person was, but he had heard Shang Zhi talk a few times.

"Ah Huan, this matter will be handed over to you, and the wicked must be brought to justice."

How old is Xiaomei, eleven or twelve years old, lost her only relative, and was persecuted, for an orphan girl who has no elders to care for, a good house and ten acres of fertile land are like a delicious snack.

Shang Huan responded "yes".

Jiang Ruoning said: "Continue on your way." ”

Tuesday Niu knelt down and kowtowed, she looked at Jiang Ruoning's figure walking away.

Shang Huan said: "Sister Erniu, my senior sister is ......"

Tuesday Niu said: "I've heard it all, the princess can't remember the past." ”

"If only you understood."

In the afternoon, Shang Huan returned to the Li Mansion.

"I told Master Mu about Xiaomei, and Master Mu said that as long as what Xiaomei said was true, he would administer justice for Xiaomei. Mrs. Mu saw that Xiaomei was pitiful and asked Xiaomei to live in the county government temporarily. When I was leaving, I left Xiaomei three taels of silver.

Senior sister, I see that Xiaomei can't go back to Guanyin Town, she has no elders, no relatives, no one to rely on, and everyone can be bullied. Xiaomei's grandfather and parents' graves are in Qingxi County, she doesn't want to leave here, do you want to wait for this case to be over, and let Xiaomei go with Mama Bi. ”

Shang Huan chiseled his fingers, in the past few years, she has learned a lot of skills from Jiang Ruoning, knows martial arts, and can paint avatars to take the murderer. "Xiaomei has no elders and relatives, and she is an orphan girl; Mama Bi has no relatives and nephews, she is a lonely old man, senior sister, do you think the two of them are very suitable? ”

Jiang Ruoning secretly rejoiced in his heart: Shang Huan has an idea after all, and he will not ask everywhere, "Senior sister, what should I do?" What should I do? This is also a kind of progress, sometimes hearing what she said "what to do", Jiang Ruoning feels big.

"Ah Huan, yes, I'm getting more and more ideas, it's not safe to hand over Xiaomei to others, but Mama Bi is someone we can trust."

Most of the poor families in Qingxi County are tenants, who do not have enough food or clothing, and they rent the landlord's land for farming, and they have to pay rents ranging from 40 to 60 percent every year. The landlords paid the rent to the imperial court, the tax exemption for those who have meritorious fame, and the annual contribution ranging from 50% to 20% for those who have no merit.

Xiaomei's family's fertile land pays a rent of 105 to the tax official every year, and rents it to tenants to collect 40% of the rent, that is to say, in the past few years, Xiaomei's family can collect 30% of the grain for their own consumption, and the rations are enough for her and her uncle's ancestors and grandchildren.

Jiang Ruoning said: "Since you have an idea, go back and go to Mama Bi to intercede and tell her about Xiaomei in detail." ”

Bi Mama is timid, reluctant to go out earlier, since the Chunhui Temple of the Sky Master on the matter of running a women's school a few times, she is willing to go to the Chunhui Temple to find the Sky Master to preach, chat, I don't know that she and the Sky have known each other for a long time, or friends.

After hearing this, Mama Bi said angrily: "There are wicked people everywhere, seeing that people's grandfathers are gone, they want to occupy people, and they want to occupy people's family business, this kind of person should be directly beheaded." ”

lived in someone's house, and put a half-grown girl in the firewood room; eats other people's food, but only gives the girl two steamed buns a day to hang her life. What kind of documents did she fabricate, falsely claiming that some girl was engaged to her son.

Shang Huan said: "I asked Xiaomei, she didn't want to go to the capital with us, saying that the graves of her grandfather and father were in Guanyin Town, and she would not leave Qingxi County......

Mama Bi sighed lightly: "It's a filial piety." ”

Shang Huan said: "Mama, why don't you take her as your goddaughter?" Xiaomei is a filial piety, obedient and well-behaved, when I met her with my sister in the past, she was not very old, but she knew how to honor his grandfather. She was reluctant to eat the steamed buns she begged from outside, and coaxed Zhibo to say that she had already eaten them, but in fact, she didn't even eat a bite......

Mama Bi thought that she was from her hometown, and she had been a palace maid for more than 40 years, and now she has returned to her hometown to retire, and she has a strong affection for her hometown that is different from others. "What does this mean by the princess?"

Shang Huan nodded, "I told my senior sister, and my senior sister is afraid that you will think too much, so let me ask." If Mama...... Unwilling to ......"

"I am very unhappy to pick up a good granddaughter for nothing. Xiaomei has no relatives, and I am also a lonely old woman, so I should rely on each other for my life. ”

Shang Huan smiled and grabbed Mama Bi's sleeve, "Mama, I'll tell Senior Sister when I turn around, she will be very happy." Thank you, Mama! (To be continued.) )
