Passing through the back garden and passing through a narrow alley, you will see a large rectangular patio, surrounded by blooming flowers and plants, which are nothing more than worthless flowers and trees...... My little sister likes flowers and plants the most, and since the death of her parents, it seems that my little sister has spent all her energy on these flowers and trees.

Xu Zixian suddenly felt a little ashamed, he was a gentleman before, desperately trying to tie up with the powerful in Fuzhou City, going out every day to chase joy and laughter, and he didn't care about the embarrassment at home, and he didn't know how the little sister at that time survived, such a little girl, her parents were gone, and there were few people in the house, waiting for her drunken brother to come home every day......

Now in the past few months, the brother and sister live in another courtyard, get along day and night, Xu Zixian runs every day, boxing, draws the bow to practice strength, at most to shoot arrows by the Nan'an River or the Min River, the relationship between the brother and sister is much better, Xu Zixian still feels indebted to his sister, especially the age of his sister, if he is not implicated by himself, I am afraid that someone has already come to the door to propose marriage, he can choose well in each family, and choose a good family for his sister......

"Well, I'm so prone to overthinking now." Xu Zixian shrugged his shoulders amusedly, walked through the patio door, and walked into the courtyard.

……

Before dinner, the servant woman Xiuniang will go to the patio to wash clothes, and the nearby towns will go to the Nan'an River to wash, dozens of round stones one after another are all the sound of beating clothes, Xiuniang is not used to going there, those women dare to say anything, the bed whispers are said in public, to Xiuniang such a beautiful little daughter-in-law, women are naturally a little hostile, and then know that she has remarried once, and now her husband is a paralyzed, so there are a lot of ugly things to say.

Xiuniang came to help from the nearby Yizi Village, the Great Wei clan is divided into princes, national dukes, and marquises.

The number of each family's food seal is different, such as the Dazong Zheng of Fuzhou Fucheng, the Dadu Governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion Qi Wang Xu Yingxing, whose food is 3,000 households, and each household pays 30 wen money per month to enter the Feng money, and after paying this money, there is no need to pay those miscellaneous taxes, and the people who are incorporated into the official village are actually quite relaxed.

Of course, in addition, it is necessary to bear the conscription, and the large project of the imperial court mobilization is inevitable, but the miscellaneous labor of the local government can be exempted, which alone reduces a large number of burdens on the official households.

The Hou Mansion is to serve for the Nan'an Hou Mansion for 40 days every year, with one ding per household, and there is no limit to men and women.

There are six official villages in Nan'anhou Mansion, and there are more than 600 households from Jiazizhuang to Jizizhuang, and they pay nearly 20,000 yuan per month, which sounds like a lot, and it is only more than 20 taels of silver when exchanged for silver.

Fortunately, there are some free Ding servants who serve in the Hou Mansion in the other courtyard and the Fucheng, and the Xiuniang not far in front of me is sent to serve in the Yizi Village, doing some sprinkling and cleaning in the backyard, pulp and laundry work.

There is a small door on the left side of the hall, through the small door is a row of low houses with earthen walls and grass roofs, this is the residence of the people in the prosperous period of the Hou Mansion, and then there is a ridge path, there is a small pavilion made of thatch on the side of the road, facing the Nan'an River, Xu Zixian's father used to like to shake the pu fan there to enjoy the coolness, and chatted with the Qing guests......

In the center of the patio is a round well, surrounded by a fence and a crank with a bucket attached, and covered with moss that has grown over time.

A descendant wearing swinging cloth shoes was talking to Xiuniang, wearing an earthy yellow turban on his hair bun, a cocoon silk robe, but the collar was open, looking nondescript, with a short figure, and his face was full of abrupt youth beans.

Xu Zixian recognized that this was Li Fu, the son of the governor of the house, who was twenty years old, and he didn't have a deep impression of this person, but now he gradually knew that the embarrassment and many encounters in his previous life were related to this person's father and son.

His brow furrowed, and he didn't rush in for a moment—

Li Fu smiled and said, "Sister Xiuniang, are you washing clothes here?" ”

Xiuniang ignored him, put the bucket down, and swung it in the well water, and the bucket fell down heavily, making a "plop" sound.

When the bucket fell to the end, Xiuniang skillfully shook the bucket in the well water, and it was full in a few clicks, and then shook the handle and shook the bucket up.

Li Fu stood behind Xiuniang, staring at Xiuniang in a long cloth dress, because her body was about to lean forward, Xiuniang's waist to her buttocks were very tight, revealing a beautiful body line......

Li Fu's eyes were almost bursting with fire, and he said, "Sister Xiuniang, wait for me to help you carry water." ”

He was about to stretch his hand behind Xiuniang, but Xiuniang came up with a bucket of water, picked up the bucket, and poured most of the bucket of water on Li Fu, wetting most of his robe.

"Cheap women are abominable." Li Fu changed his face and scolded angrily: "If you don't want to accept you, tell my father now, beat you and then expel you." ”

Xiuniang's two willow eyebrows gradually stood up, showing a moment of anger. Although she is married, Fang is nineteen years old, with beautiful eyebrows, fair face, and excellent figure, Li Fu, who is not tall in Uehara, who is fast chasing, even when she is angry, she also has a unique atmosphere of a young girl, which is almost intoxicating.

Li Fu put away his anger again, and said with a smile: "I'm not good, I'm not a Qi Chu character, but I've seen it, and I'm the same age, why don't you follow me?" What else do you want him to do, your paralyzed man? ”

Xiuniang was silent, she didn't want to talk to him at all, she squatted down and sat on the edge of the basin by herself, and began to wash clothes.

"My father is still in charge of the official village, although he is not an official, he is a few points more powerful than that Li Fengchang, and the family property is abundant, you will definitely not suffer if you follow me."

"Wealthy?" Xiuniang pursed her lips and sneered, "It was stolen from the master's house, right?" ”

Li Fu's face changed, and he said, "Lin Xiuniang, don't talk nonsense. ”

"Who doesn't know in the villages...... Xiuniang raised her eyebrows again, and then her expression calmed down, and said: "I will go home in ten days, the things here have nothing to do with me, and you don't have to bother, I won't agree." ”

"I'm afraid you can't help it." Li Fu felt bored, and left after dropping a sentence.

Xiuniang rubbed her robe, and her beautiful face was full of melancholy.

Li Fu's father, Li Cheng, was appointed by Xu Zixian's father, Xu Yingbin, to promote and manage the affairs of the official village, and the people on the official village referred to him as Li Tiguan, although he was not like the Hou Mansion Fengchang Li Yi was born in a person, and he was a Houfu official who was a member of the imperial court, and a serious eight-grade official, but he was in real power, and he had been operating in six official villages for more than 20 years, with great power and ruthless skills, and everyone was afraid of him.

On the surface, everything is as usual in the Hou Mansion, but in fact, the hidden income of several official villages is in the hands of Li Cheng, and Li Cheng was still a little restrained when Xu Yingbin was alive, but now he is becoming more and more arrogant, and he has become a weak master and a strong slave.

What's more important is that people are rumoring that the old marquis was defeated by the Qishan thieves when he was the defense envoy of Qizhou, and Li Cheng secretly colluded with the Qishan thieves, and no one wanted to challenge Li Cheng in the past few years, and the final outcome was either forced to flee, leave his hometown, or suddenly disappear, and never disappeared.

Xiuniang was upset and washed her robe, her man Xie Quan was originally a showman, and it was said that he was a good relative, but Xie Quan was good at gambling and drinking, and he was paralyzed by drinking, but Xiuniang didn't know about it before passing the door, her father was greedy for the Xie family's money, and almost sold her.

The same is true for the first time I got married, the husband's family married her back to Chongxi, the man was suffering from lung disease, thin like a ghost, coughing up and unable to straighten his waist, and he didn't even have the strength to have sex after passing the door, and he died in less than ten days.

After this incident, Xiuniang became a widow, but her husband's family was good at talking, and put her home, and in less than a year, his father sold him to Xie Xiucai's family, and only after entering the door did he know that he was a paralyzed person......

Xiuniang pursed her lips, she had already accepted her fate, her life was bitter, and there were many people who had the same experience as her with such parents, not only her.

Besides, her father didn't sell her into the hook bar, which is already very conscientious.

Her heart is dead, Xie Quan can't be humane, she twists her the bed every day, and the bruises and purples on her body are all traces of Xie Quan's twisting.

Xie Quan still drinks every day, although Xiucai has exempt and tax-exempt land, it should be enough to live, Xiuniang is not afraid of hardship, and she can do the work in the field...... But there was some money, Xie Quan asked her to use it to buy wine, and if she didn't buy it, she would be insulted endlessly, until she was pinched and twisted her......

Later, Xiuniang realized that Xie Quan gave out this amount of money to ask a woman to vent, and at the same time, he also hired a long-term worker, nanny, and servant.

This time the Hou Mansion ordered the service, Xie Quan was originally a Xiucai who did not have to serve, but Xie Quan was drunk and immoral, causing a lot of trouble, plus he could not participate in the county school exam, and his reputation was removed two months ago.

After being instructed, Xiuniang put the Xie family's land into the name of the Hou Mansion in Nan'an, and became a hidden household, and when it was the turn of the Hou Mansion to serve, she could only entrust someone to take care of Xie Quan, and she came to the Hou Mansion to do things.

The work in the Hou Mansion is not heavy, but Li Fu often comes to talk crazy, and now it is becoming more and more excessive, and the rest of the servants are also excluded in a ......

Xiuniang's flirting with men and women's exclusion have long been adapted, she was born very beautiful, with a slender posture and a complexion like jade. But she was hesitating, should she tell Shizi about today's events?

Shizi likes her very much, Xiuniang can feel it, she also has a good impression of Shizi, and Shizi's eyes also have the kind of brilliance unique to men, Xiuniang knows. But Shizi is more of a kind of respect and appreciation, and has never been careless about her...... Shizi has a broad chest, a tall body, and a dignified appearance, the key is that Xiuniang doesn't understand what Shizi does, but Xiuniang knows that Shizi is a man with perseverance, and insists on practicing archery, reading, and writing every day...... This kind of person, Xiu Niang, who was born in a villager, is the first time I have seen it.

Shizi is always smiling, and his voice is also soft......

Xiuniang has to wash a few robes for the prince every day, but she is soaked with sweat, and some people say bad things about the son, saying that he is ignorant, and Xiuniang never believes it.

Now Xiuniang's scruples are that Li Cheng's father and son are not strong people who can be provoked, if the matter is stabbed, but the son of the world does not believe her, there is no room for rounding, Li Cheng and his son have to retaliate......

Li Cheng father and son are hungry ghosts, Chang Qiang married a beautiful woman in the village as a concubine, the father and son took turns to fight, filthy and unheard, this matter spread in the township, when it was true, the father and son were tired of playing and sold the concubine to the hook in the Fuzhou mansion, and the money for the concubine was not lost at all.

If she falls into such a fate, Xiuniang would rather die.
