Chapter 55: The Little Son of the Xu Family
The mountain sound of the suona blowing, there is a thick sadness spreading.
This is the old Zhuangzi of the Li family, who is handling the funeral affairs for the two family members who died in the war.
Just a family member, to be honest, this kind of funeral scale is too grand, but no one objected, the family members are more and more grateful, as a family member, they naturally hope that even if they have this day in the future, they can die well.
The family members had already fainted from crying, and the farmers who helped with the operation also had grief on their faces.
Li Zui pursed his lips, made a straight face, and stood aside without saying a word.
The reason why I came in person is to show my attitude.
It is necessary not only to show the state of the deceased, but also to reassure the family of the deceased.
Although the family members were very sad, but seeing the young master come in person, a heart in gratitude was also steady, no matter what, although there was one less person, the life of the family was guaranteed, and the young master would not let them have no food.
This is the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they don't really want much.
If it is placed hundreds of years later, it is strange that the families of the deceased do not tear Li Chuan apart.
And now, although the family members are grieving, they don't blame Li Chuan, as if everything is taken for granted, the family died in battle to protect Fangzi, and even the family of the deceased takes it for granted, and will not hate the main family because of this.
If the host family showed a little mercy, the family of the deceased would be grateful.
It's ironic, but it's the dominant idea of this era.
Li Chuan was moved, but more of it was heavy.
He felt the responsibility, every family member who died in battle was like a heavy responsibility, pressing on his back, the previous little four, the two new family members this time, were always alerting him.
Casualties must be reduced.
Li Chuan was going to find an opportunity to take out those equipment and arm the family as soon as possible.
After spending the morning in Lao Zhuangzi, he went to see two seriously injured family members.
It's okay to be stabbed in the stomach, as long as the injury is healed, although you can't fight and kill anymore, but your limbs are sound, it's okay to be a farmer and farm, or it's more than enough to run errands with the housekeeper.
The trouble is the second child of the family who is missing an arm, and the pain will accompany him for the rest of his life.
If you are strong-willed, you can overcome the difficulties in your heart and be happy all your life.
But if you can't overcome the difficulty in your heart, even if you don't have to worry about food and clothing, you will be depressed.
Sun Lao Er's mood was not high, so that his mother-in-law Zou Shi saw it, and said: "Young master, don't care about him, our Sun Er is not a good material, farming is a good hand, even if there is a missing arm, farming is not a problem, besides, the housekeeper said, three boys before sixteen, will give me love ten taels of silver every month, and one stone of rice, even if you don't farm, it is enough to eat." Besides, the housekeeper also said that the three boys would marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and Zhuangzi would also help with it, and it would be worth it to exchange so much for one arm. ”
Although the words are vulgar, the reason is not vulgar.
Li Chuan said with a smile: "You can't wait for death to eat, you still have to find a way to live as well as possible." ”
Zou nodded hurriedly: "The slave family is just like that, you can't be lazy." ”
persuaded the Zou family, and Li Chuan's mood was inexplicably much better.
When he returned to Zhuangzi, he had the heart to ask Li Changyue: "Why did the people of the Xu family go to the Su family, do you know what happened?" ”
Li Changyue said: "I heard that the little prince of the Wei family has taken a fancy to Miss Su and wants to take Miss Su as a concubine. ”
"What?"
Li Chuan was taken aback: "And this matter?" ”
Li Changyue said: "A while ago, the little son of the Duke of Wei came to Jiangyin, and I heard that he happened to meet Miss Su, and the little son Xu was used to it, and when he saw Miss Su's beauty, he wanted to be a concubine. ”
Li Chuan asked, "What is the attitude of the Su family?" ”
Li Changyue said: "I heard that Master Su accepted the dowry, and he likes the little son of the Xu family very much." ”
"What about Little Sister Su?"
Li Chuan's heart sank, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Li Changyue said: "I heard from the people of the Su Mansion that Miss Su refused to obey the death, saying that even if she married a peddler, she would not be a concubine, let alone marry Xu Xiaogongzi." However, Master Su has already accepted the dowry, and I am afraid that this matter will be difficult to do. ”
As he spoke, he sighed, feeling regretful in his heart.
A woman's marriage is all done by her parents, as the so-called parents' orders, the words of the matchmaker, as long as Su Jizu accepts the dowry, then this family affair has legal effect, just to be a concubine, it is too cruel for Su Xiaomei.
Even if he married into the Xu family in Jinling, he still couldn't go to the main hall after all.
Li Chuan asked, "Who is taking care of the Su family's business now?" ”
Li Changyue said: "The young grandmother of the Su family is taking care of it. ”
Li Chuan's face was calm, and he didn't say anything more, but his heart was a little blocked.
I went around the village, and before I knew it, I slipped to the head of the Su family.
Several Su family farmers were busy working in the field, but they didn't see Su Xiaomei, and several farmers were a little listless, completely losing their previous motivation, as if they had no backbone, and they didn't care if they stepped on several flower seedlings.
Zhao Tiezhu said: "Young master, I heard that Miss Su handed over the Su family's business to Su Shao's grandmother, and the Su family's young grandmother thought that the money given to the farmers was too much, so she directly reduced it by half, and now the Su family's farmers are not working hard." ”
Li Chuan nodded, this is not the benefit of planting flowers and grass.
But who can know how much Su Xiaomei paid to do a good job in this business.
At least the young grandmother of the Su family didn't know, otherwise she wouldn't have wasted Su Xiaomei's hard work just after taking over the housework. It seems that there is a lot of contradiction between the sister-in-law, otherwise it would not be so obvious and let outsiders see the joke.
After wandering for a while, I came to the river unconsciously.
Li Chuan paced slowly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhao Tiezhu and Huang Tianxiang stood not far away, looking around vigilantly.
Li Chuan was thinking about Su Xiaomei, he liked Su Xiaomei a little, but he didn't think about getting married too early, so he ignored some things, this incident undoubtedly gave him a blow to the head, and made him deeply understand what it is that the plan can't catch up with the change.
Although the doctor has no wife, at least he must not lose his conscience.
Li Chuan thought about it again, if Su Xiaomei was interested in him, he wouldn't mind using some extreme means.
But what Su Xiaomei is thinking is unknown.
"Young Master!"
When he was secretly pondering, Zhao Tiezhu suddenly shouted.
Li Chuan looked up and saw Zhao Tiezhu's strange face and his eyes drifting to the side, so he turned his head to look at it, and was immediately stunned.
Under a locust tree not far away, there was a pretty figure, staring at each other, dressed in white like snow, not exactly who Su Xiaomei was. However, at this time, Su Xiaomei's eyes were numb, revealing a kind of heart like ashes.
That look is heartbreaking, as if the best thing in the world has been lost.
Li Chuan glanced at it a few times and immediately strode over.
Zhao Tiezhu and Huang Tianxiang hurriedly turned around and walked dozens of feet away, not daring to see the young master talking about love.
