"Da Ming Law" says: The law of enslavement,...... The service is said to be the first, the jun is said to be the same, the miscellaneous is said to be the third. It is called a service in terms of households, a service in terms of Ding, and miscellaneous service when the order is not in time, all of which are powerful and have hired service. The state capital and county inspect the number of Dingkou, and the thickness of the property, so as to suit their strength.

Although the Zhou family brought Shen Xi to the city, the family's household registration is still in Taohua Village, but if there is forced labor and apportionment, it will still be distributed according to the household registration of Taohua Village.

According to the yellow book created by the government, the Shen family will send out one person to serve next year, and the meaning of the old lady Li is to select one person from the second and third uncles of Shen Xi to fill the position, after all, it is necessary to leave the fourth Shen Mingxin and the fifth Shen Mingjun, who can make money to support the family, but obviously the old lady cannot make a decision without authorization.

The fourth uncle, Shen Mingxin, brought his wife into the city to pick up his son this time, in fact, he also had the intention of discussing with Shen Mingjun.

During the Chinese New Year, a large family gathers together, if there is no result in the discussion, the government must give priority to the young and strong, and Shen Mingxin and Shen Mingjun will both be selected. Now because of the matter of Liulang Shen Yuan, there is a little unpleasant trouble between the two rooms, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be something when the family discusses things later.

After dinner, Zhou found an inn near the alley and arranged for Shen Mingxin's family of three to stay.

Early the next morning, when Shen Mingxin's family left the county seat, the Zhou family sent a lot of things, but the Feng family didn't buy it too much, after all, the things were taken back and distributed by the old lady. With Li's eccentricity and ∞, the eyes must be that the eldest family can get the most, and what the four rooms can get is extremely limited.

In Feng's view, the better the old five family lived in the city, the more money they brought home, the more unfavorable it was to their family. The forced labor that will be apportioned after the year is likely to be borne by the husband, so the knot for the fifth family is deeper.

After sending Shen Mingxin's family away, Zhou came to the pharmacy, only to see that the shop had already opened, and there were few customers. Shen Xi was helping Hui Niang make medicine, she sighed softly, walked over and waved her hand and said, "The shop doesn't have much business, I'll do this little work, you go back and review your homework!" ”

Shen Xi saw that the old lady looked solemn, and knew that she understood the serious consequences of offending Shen Mingxin and his family...... Looking back, I am afraid that I will be even more isolated and helpless in the Shen family.

Zhou's refusal to take Shen Yuan in is not selfish and stingy, it's really that she can't take care of her busy work, Shen Xi is son is nothing to help in the pharmacy, but Shen Yuan is different, maybe there will be other troubles at that time. And if Shen Yuan is taken in, what about Shen Yongzhuo, who will be sixteen years old after the New Year? It's all a family, so you can't favor one over the other!

Shen Xi put down the medicine pestle, stood up and stretched his waist, and heard Hui Niang's persuasion before going out: "Sister doesn't have to worry about it, the affairs of the family are always supported by the elderly, and they can't fall on the juniors......"

Back at home in the back alley, Lin Dai and Lu Xi'er were playing in the yard, the little girl's house didn't have anything to do on weekdays, she had no strength, she had no eyesight, in fact, she had nothing else to do except play.

Lin Dai can occasionally help cook and cook, Lu Xi'er just sleeps enough to play, eats when she is tired of playing, eats and sleeps when she is full, and lives a carefree life every day. Because of the arrival of Shen Xi and Lin Dai, Lu Xi'er's personality has become much more cheerful, and when she sees Shen Xi, she always likes to revolve around this brother.

"Brother Shen Xi, you come to teach us the "Three Character Classic".

When Lu Xi'er saw Shen Xi enter the door, she immediately entangled herself again.

Shen Xi touched her head and said, "I still have something to do, you play first, and I'll teach you when I come back." Don't go out, it's very dangerous outside, especially you, Da'er, there is a group of people in the city who seem to be looking for some lost prisoner's family, don't go out if you have nothing to do. ”

When Lin Dai heard this, her face showed a slight fear.

Seeing this, Shen Xi could also guess a rough idea, turned around and went out of the door, asking Lin Dai to close the door.

Shen Xi went to the abandoned pig shed behind the Wang family's mansion to find Wang Lingzhi, because he didn't have to go to school during the Chinese New Year, and he had already made an appointment with Wang Lingzhi to play together, in fact, Shen Xi wanted to ask Wang Lingzhi about his father.

When he arrived at the pig house, Wang Lingzhi had already arrived, and he was holding a bamboo stick to "practice the sword", and he was showing a decent move.

This set of swordsmanship, officially known as the "Twenty-Four Kunlun Sword", was learned by Shen Xi from a local martial arts teacher when he was archaeological in Wuhan, Hubei. The full set of swordsmanship has a large range of movements, magnificent, mainly attacking, the assassination is fierce and fierce, the footwork and body are changeable, the range of activities is wide, and the action is continuous, as if the clouds and water are flowing.

After Wang Lingzhi learned basic martial arts, he felt that he was not addicted and was repeatedly entangled. Shen Xi couldn't survive it, so he had to teach this set of swordsmanship used for fitness in his previous life, and as a result, Wang Lingzhi learned like a treasure after learning, and he was fascinated by learning.

After seeing Shen Xi, Wang Lingzhi performed a sword technique on Shen Xi from beginning to end, starting from the momentum, through a pillar of incense to the sky, pulling grass to find snakes, splitting mountains and agarwood and other moves, until the green dragon took off and closed the momentum, after doing it, he was out of breath, wiped his head and sweated profusely and asked: "Senior brother, how do you think I practiced?" ”

"Average."

Shen Xi replied and asked, "Is your father back?" ”

Wang Lingzhi shook his head, and then added: "I have asked my aunt, and my father should be back in the next few days." Senior brother, I'm almost done practicing my swordsmanship, when will you take me to see my master? ”

The things that the two pay attention to are not the same at all, Shen Xi didn't want to puncture a young man's chivalrous dream, and said "There will be opportunities in the future" and stopped talking about martial arts.

When he got home at noon, Zhou happily took a letter to Shen Xi and said, "Your father has found someone to deliver a letter back, you read it quickly, what is written on it?" ”

"Mother, why didn't you show it to your aunt? My aunt is also literate! ”

Zhou slapped Shen Xi's head: "Your aunt is a widow and has a daughter, what do I have to do to stimulate her?" Look, otherwise what's the use of letting you read? ”

Shen Xi opened the envelope disapplauded, took out the letter paper and read it, only to know that his father followed Wang Changnie, the master of the Wang family, to Wuchang Mansion in Huguang to visit his son in prison, saying that he could come back according to the itinerary of seventeen or eighteen, so that the Zhou family did not have to worry.

As soon as Shen Xi said the contents of the letter, Zhou couldn't help wiping away tears: "This has no conscience, and he doesn't say a word to his family when he goes out, but we will worry about him." ”

"Mother, didn't my father say it, because the head of the Wang family was in a hurry, he didn't have time to go home and inform him before he went on the road...... Mother, don't be sad. ”

Zhou finally let go of her worries about her husband, her face was full of red light, and she went into the kitchen to start cooking with a little song, and after she was ready, she picked out some food boxes for each dish and asked Shen Xi to send them to the pharmacy to Hui Niang.

The two families are now as good as a family, Zhou's husband has not heard from her these days, and she can be regarded as a widow for a period of time, and she feels that she and Hui Niang have some sympathy.

In the afternoon, Shen Xi went to "Sigu Zhai" to see the paintings he had consigned and was surprised to find that they had been sold.

Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile: "You kid is lucky, the county master Gao Sheng is going to Nanzhili and bought your painting, which is for you to share the profits." ”

Shen Xi took the small money bag, opened the bag and saw that the white flowers inside were all silver, but unfortunately they were all scattered.

"Uncle Xu, you don't even say how much you sold, don't you tell me the details, so that you can find a son to weigh you?"

Shopkeeper Xu scolded: "You stinky boy doesn't understand the rules, don't you?" The county magistrate buys a painting, he definitely doesn't want outsiders to know, if you have the silver, you can keep it, and no matter how much you want, you won't even give you this little silver. ”

Shen Xi was silent for a moment.

Feelings, this Han County Order is to buy paintings to give gifts to those dignitaries, since people don't want to publicize it, he won't say anything if he has money to collect.

Weighing the silver in hand, how to say that there are six or seven taels, it must be more than last time, as for how much he was cheated by this shopkeeper Xu, he didn't care too much.

"Uncle Xu, if it's okay, I'll go first." Shen Xi saluted and took his leave.

"Wait, I want to know, who asked you to sell your paintings? I heard what the county lord meant, the paintings you sent last time and this time are all good things, but this is not all ordinary people's ...... The county magistrate asked me, but I couldn't answer for a while, and his old man's face was unhappy. ”

"You'd better be honest and honest, and I know it in my heart, otherwise the government will be held accountable and said that it is a thief, but don't say that Uncle Xu will confess to you without mercy."

Shen Xi smiled and said: "Uncle Xu, please rest assured, you think, even if it is a thief, it was bought by the county master, and the county master is the one who sold the stolen goods, can anyone still be held accountable for this matter?" ”

"You stinky boy, do you want to entertain me?"

Uncle Xu made a gesture to hit Shen Xi, but Shen Xi stuck out his tongue and ran away.

Out of the gate of "Sigu Zhai" and outside, Shen Xi found a corner where no one was, took out the silver in the bag and weighed it, there was no adulteration, it was all fine silver.

If someone sees him as a child with such a large sum of money, it can cause trouble. Silver is a good thing at any time, but at the moment, Shen Xi has no place to spend money, Zhou has invested in the pharmacy, and he earns a lot of silver every month, but unfortunately most of it still has to be taken home by Shen Mingjun.

The Shen family has not been separated for a day, and the old lady Li is the head of the Shen family for a day, no matter which house makes money, it must be handed over, but the Zhou family can also intercept a part, in the end, it is necessary to consider Shen Xi's study.

It's a pity that there is no money to save at this time, and the only thing Shen Xi can do is to hide the silver, go home and behave like no one, and take out the silver to use it again if there is a need in the future.

With six or seven taels of silver on hand, it is enough for the family's expenses in the next two or three years, even if there is any natural disaster**, it can barely survive.
