Li Junran slowly crawled towards the spring, sorting out the remaining memories.

This body, surnamed Li, with the breast name Qiliu, is eight years old this year, the granddaughter of Li Pinghai, the fourth son of Li Jiatun, and the second daughter of the third son Li Zhengmin.

Li Laosi married Feng in Luoxia Village next door. Feng was once pregnant with a child, but one accidentally fell off. Feng's health has not been very good since the miscarriage, so he has not given birth for a long time. Subsequently, Li Laosi accepted Feng's maiden cousin's widow/wife Xiao Feng as his wife. Xiao Feng took his daughter Jin Qiaoer into the door for three years and hugged the two, and gave birth to the eldest son Li Zhengguo and the second son Li Zhengtai in succession. In the fifth year, Feng was unexpectedly pregnant, because she insisted on giving birth to her third son, Li Zhengmin, which made her already weak body worse and worse, and after two years of suffering, she died, leaving a two-year-old son. In the same year, Xiao Feng added a daughter Li Ling'er to Li Laosi, and three years later gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, the fourth son Li Zheng'an and the youngest daughter Li Zhen'er. Xiao Feng relied on himself to give birth to three sons and two daughters for Li Laosi, and killed his cousin, the short-lived wife of the main house, and he was also a well-known number one person in Lijiatun.

Xiao Feng's is not very good to Li Zhengmin, the only one in the old Li family who is not his own flesh and blood, and he is also his own nephew, although he is not so much that he has to be beaten or scolded, but he is definitely biased and discriminate. At the very least, the head of the old Li family, whose family is quite well-off, is illiterate and illiterate, and he can't read a single word. and arranged for Li Zhengmin to work as an apprentice blacksmith early.

Apprentices are already very hard, and all the dirty work on weekdays is the work of apprentices, not to mention the work that requires strength such as iron. If there is a master with a better temper, it is just that, if the temper is almost tortured to death, it is not impossible. Anyway, before leaving the school, at most, it was to take care of the food, and as for the salary, there was not a copper plate or anything. It is a miracle that Xiao Qiliu's father, Li Zhengmin, survived.

Li Zhengmin has been very smart since he was a child, and he realized early on that he was different from his brothers and sisters in this family, so he ate as little as possible and worked more to pray that he could survive in this family and get even a little warmth. The fifth child of the Li family is a hunter, because he can't get used to seeing his fourth brother so partial, so he secretly taught his hunting skills to Li Zhengmin in private. At the beginning, Li Zhengmin naturally couldn't catch any prey because he had no skills and no experience. But after a long time, there have been harvests one after another, at least I can fill my stomach.

As he grew older, several sons of the Lao Li family became relatives one after another, and then had grandchildren. The eldest son, Li Zhengguo, married the Qian family and had two sons and a daughter, namely the eldest son Li Junsong, the second daughter Li Shuangtao and the Shilang Li Juntong. The second son, Li Zhengtai, married Zhao and had a son and a daughter, namely San Lang Li Junbai and Li Wuli. Qiliu's father's third son, Li Zhengmin, married the Xu family and gave birth to Liulang Li Junyang and Li Qiliu. The fourth daughter Li Linger married Zhang Xiucai in the town, and the fifth son Li Zhengan and the youngest daughter Li Zhener have not yet married.

originally thought that life was getting better day by day, but I didn't want to think that when Xiao Qiliu was six years old, his compatriot Li Junyang got a cold because he fell into the water, and because he couldn't be treated, he eventually turned into pneumonia and almost died. Originally, the old Li family was completely able to come up with this money to treat Li Junyang. How could Xiao Feng's life and death be unhappy, under the pretext that the eldest in the family, Li Zhengguo, and the fifth child, Li Zhengan, had no money to take the show, and they made a fuss for several days. As a last resort, Li Zhengmin had to go up the mountain to hunt and come back to earn some medical expenses, but he never thought that not only did he fail to hunt any prey, but he also met the wild boar king. In the process of escaping, he stepped on the air and fell down the mountain, breaking his leg...... Xiao Feng was afraid that Li Junyang would drag down the old Li family, so he took the opportunity to divide the three rooms from the old Li family.

Recalling this, Li Junran couldn't help but sigh at Xiao Qiliu's family of four. In the end, it's not biological, and this heart is too big. In other words, Li Zhengmin is also the flesh and blood of his husband no matter what, not to mention his own nephew, isn't he? Well, there is also a more embarrassing identity: the flesh and blood of the rival in love......

In this regard, Li Junran said that he could still understand Xiao Feng's thoughts: Li Zhengmin is the son of his former wife, no matter what he says. According to the relevant provisions of the inheritance law of this dynasty, Li Zhengmin, as his son-in-law, will inherit most of his family property after the death of Li Laosi. As for the three sons and three daughters born to his wife Xiao Feng, the eldest daughter Jin Qiaoer is not the flesh and blood of the Li family, and she is a daughter, so she has no inheritance right, and the second daughter Li Linger and Li Zhener can get half a point (basically the dowry when they get married), and each of the three sons can inherit Li Laosi's family property.

Incidentally, if the wife has neither a son-in-law nor a concubine but only a daughter, the daughter can inherit half of the ancestral property after being recruited as a son-in-law, and the other half will belong to the clan; If there is no concubine and a concubine, the concubine can be recorded in the name of the concubine before he can inherit the ancestral business as a concubine. In addition, what is the identity of the wife and concubine when she enters the door, it will remain unchanged for life, unless she remarries after abandonment, and the concubine can never be a wife, at most she will be re-accepted as a flat wife after giving up.

The loyal and honest Li Zhengmin took the few belongings he had received and moved to three thatched huts near Xiaotian Mountain with the Xu family and a pair of children. In order to buy medicine for Li Zhengmin and Li Junyang's treatment, Li Qiliu sold himself to Master Cheng in the town as a slave and maid for ten years. Although he signed a living deed, in the past ten years, life and death have been at the disposal of the Cheng family. In other words, before the redemption in the past ten years, even if the Cheng family beats Qiliu to death or sells it to the lowest kiln, Li Zhengmin and his wife have no right to interfere.

Thinking of this, Li Junran sighed, the ancient times of selling themselves as slaves and having no human rights really can't afford to hurt.

Xiao Qiliu was only six years old when he sold the process house, to say that Qiliu's luck was still good, after selling the process house for a few days, he was arranged to be a fire girl in the kitchen. The monthly silver of the third-class rough girl is three hundred copper coins. Because of her cute appearance and sweet mouth, Qiliu knows how to bribe those housekeepers with a small salary. A year and a half later, Qiliu, who had reached the age of seven, changed his position and was transferred to run errands, responsible for delivering food to several of Master Cheng's aunts. Now that I think about it, this position might as well be a fire girl, although the salary has risen by fifty copper coins, the problem is closer to those troublesome bodies, isn't it?

Master Cheng was one of the four imperial merchants of the Apocalypse Dynasty, mainly engaged in tea and cloth business. In the Tianqi Dynasty, the status of merchants was similar to that of the ancient Celestial Dynasty in Li Junran's impression, paying attention to what kind of scholars and farmers were industrial, and merchants of the lower grades were not allowed to wear silk clothes, and the children of merchants were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination. Once the violation is discovered, the family property will be confiscated at the slightest, and the family property will be confiscated at the worst.

However, for the scholar level, running a shop to make money is a blind eye, and there are not many restrictions. Especially the imperial merchant or something, it's still quite delicious. So don't look at the Cheng family, in fact, it is in the same vein as the Cheng Mansion in the capital, Master Cheng is the second son of the cabinet minister Cheng Gelao, and the younger brother of the household servant Lord Cheng. And Master Cheng himself is also a person with meritorious fame.

If you want to say that this Cheng Mansion has a big family, it is a pity that the yin and yang of Yan zhòng are prosperous and the yang is declining, and there are a house of women. In the entire Cheng Mansion, there is a male host of Master Cheng. In addition to his wife, Mrs. Zhang, Master Cheng also has eight aunts. As for the girl in the room or something, it is not clear in the remaining memories of Qiliu, but one thing is still certain, that is, there must be a lot of them. There are so many women, except for the eldest lady Cheng Zhang, who gave birth to the eldest daughter, the third aunt who is most favored by Master Cheng has a second lady. As for the other aunts, none of them gave birth to children, not even pregnant.

The reason why Xiao Qiliu's butt will bloom can be summed up in one sentence and eight words, that is: the aunt competes for favor and harms the girl.
