It's a great year!

While eating, Li Feihu's eyes couldn't help but look towards the side room, the grain pile was full of newly harvested grain, and the warehouse was full of grain, but it had not been a good year for many years. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

What does a good year mean? It means that the dream of many years can finally come true.

"Feihu, you will go to the Wang family tomorrow, give the dowry with the matchmaker, and set the date!"

The old man who was snoring and drinking porridge with a bowl said to Li Feihu.

"Hey, I got it!"

Li Feihu nodded, with joy on his face, and gave a dowry, he was no longer alone. Drink the porridge in two bites.

Then Li Feihu went into his room, put on his freshly sewn garment, which was an unpatched garment, and put down his coiled braids. He touched his shaved head with his hands, his brow furrowed at the length of the hair on his forehead, and then he touched his face again, and he also had a beard on his face.

Maybe it should be shaved again? After all, I'm going to the Wang's house!

Looking outside, the sun had barely risen. He could cross the street where there was a shaver, shave his head and go to the house where the woman was waiting for him. In previous years, he naturally wouldn't do this, and he didn't have the money, and of course, he didn't need to do it, because he didn't need to go on a blind date, and he couldn't get along. But this year is different from previous years, this year is a good year, and there are a few more stones of millet in the ground, and it is precisely because of this that the matchmaker named him a girl from the Wang family.

He took a small, greasy purse made of gray cloth from his belt and counted the money inside. There were a few taels of silver and two handfuls of copper coins in it. He hadn't told his father what he had in mind, but he had invited some friends over for dinner in the evening, so he was going to bring some meat and fish from the city, and he was going to buy some beef. But if he had shaved his head, he might not have been able to buy beef.

But now, he would rather shave his head, wanting to leave a good impression on the Wang family, and with this thought in his heart, he made up his mind.

Shave!

Although the sky was still dark red, the sun was climbing up the clouds in the sky. Although he had something in his heart, Li Feihu was a farmer after all, and he looked at the sky with some anxiety. The rain was there, hidden in the clouds, heavy on the wind. Now there is no need for this rain in the field, and if the wheat in the soaked field is rotten, there will be no wheat at that time.

I walked along the winding path in the field for almost half an hour. Not far away stands a gray city wall. In the city gate that he was about to pass through, there was the courtyard of the Wang family, and that woman had been the maid of the Wang family since she was a child.

Although some people say that it is better to marry a girl from an adult family, it is better to fight a bachelor! I don't know what bad water is in the stomach of those people, but for the poor family, they can only beg the girl. He is twenty-nine years old, and he is still a bachelor, if he doesn't ask for a girl, what do he ask for?

In previous years, he couldn't afford to call a girl, that is, this year, the harvest was good, and when the rent was paid, my father asked the Wang family if there was a girl to marry.

"A girl doesn't have to be too young to be good-looking."

Although having a good-looking wife will make others look at him, according to his father, "What do you want to look good at women?" We want women who can take care of the house, raise children, and work in the fields, and we are croppers, and we need women who can do dry food, and we can't be idle. Besides, who has ever heard that the beautiful girl of a rich family will be a yellow flower girl? Those young masters have already played with her......"

Even though I know that what Dad said is right. However, before answering, he still has to fight. For example, he wouldn't call a pockmarked face or a woman with open lips. Of course, he obviously forgot that such a woman can't enter a big family as a maid.

Eight taels of silver!

This is his father's appointment to the Wang family, in addition, there are two silver rings and a pair of silver earrings, which are given to the woman as a dowry for the betrothed. Apart from this, he didn't know anything about the woman who was going to marry him, he only knew that he would go to Wang's house today, give the eight taels of silver to the housekeeper, and then ask the matchmaker to set a date when he could go and take her home that day.

There is no need for eight large sedan chairs, nor for more dowry gifts. As for what a woman looks like, when the time comes, he will know.

When the time comes, he will no longer be alone!

Thinking like this in his heart, before dawn, Li Feihu walked towards the somewhat gloomy and gray city gate cave. Nearby water carriers carried large buckets of water and went in and out all day, splashing water out of the buckets and spilling on the stone road. Beneath the thick brick walls, the gates are always wet and cool even in the middle of summer.

Just as he was approaching the city gate, Li Feihu saw two people wearing blue cloth clothes and blue cloth hats standing by the doorway, with bird guns on their shoulders, standing in front of the city gate.

"This is what the neighbors said about the rebels!"

Li Feihu muttered in his heart, the city changed the banner of the king, just a few days ago, there was a change of people in this official mansion, and it was no longer the emperor of the Qing Dynasty who sat in the world, but the Governor's Mansion of the Han Dynasty, what the Governor's Mansion of the Han Dynasty was, he didn't know, but for the common people, this did not have any effect, whether it was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty or the governor of the Han Dynasty, the taxes that should be paid always had to be paid.

Just when he was close to the city gate, when he looked at the eyes of the officers and soldiers outside the city gate, he hurriedly lowered his head, and avoided the eyes of the officers and soldiers a little nervously.

But even when he tried to avoid the officers and soldiers, he couldn't avoid them, and when he went to the cave of the city gate and was about to go to the shaver to shave his head, there was a burst of gongs from there, and when he was surprised why someone was striking the gong, there were officers and soldiers at the other end of the city gate who stopped him. big

"You're a local?"

"Yes, yes, Li, Li Jiagou's ......"

Li Feihu said nervously.

"Go over there and stand!"

Being pushed, Li Feihu was pushed into a group of people who were sincerely frightened, and in the crowd, looking at the officers and soldiers who were carrying birds and knives on their backs, a sense of foreboding immediately appeared in his mind - should it not be given to Latin!

Just when he regretted why he had to enter the city this day, an officer and soldier on the other side of the platform said loudly.

"Full of captives stealing the country, Yi Wu crowned clothes, forcibly braided the hair system, and obeyed the fishy customs......"

What are these officers and soldiers talking about?

Like those around him who were either carrying vegetable baskets or carrying burdens, Li Feihu was also full of confusion, not knowing what the officers and soldiers on the stage were talking about.

"Today, the Han army is prosperous, and the county also raises the banner of righteousness, from the Han Governor, the Han Governor raised troops, in order to expel the Manchurian Tartars, all my compatriots, it is advisable to remove the old stains, and be the people of my China, and those who have not gone to the braids, on the day of the order, are limited to 20 days, and they will be cut off and purified, and those who are not respected will be judged as illegal!"

After the officers and soldiers on the stage finished reading the proclamation of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, they said to the people in the audience.

"Today, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is considerate of the big guys, and those who cut their braids can get copper coins and five Wen!"

As he spoke, the officer and soldier carrying the gun grabbed the box full of copper coins and said to the people in the audience.

"Come on, who's going to cut the braids first!"

What the?

Cut your braids!

Even people who don't understand what the man was talking about before will understand what they want when they look at the scissors and listen to what they want!

It's a big guy who wants to cut his braids.

As soon as he heard that he was going to cut his braids, the crowd suddenly became unkempt, and some older people instinctively protected their braids, and Li Feihu also began to nervously hold the braids on his head.

"Jun, military master, this, this braid is something left by the ancestors, that, it can be said that it is cut and cut......"

A slightly older man just stepped forward to try to argue, but the military master glared at him and said sharply.

"Ancestor? When did the ancestors of our Han people have braids, they were all cut out by dogs, Japanese, and Manchu Qing Dynasty who cut off the heads of their ancestors with knives, and when they reach the mouth of your old thing, they become the stuff of their ancestors, is it really not enough to be a slave? Cut! I saw that the military master scolded while grabbing the old man's braids, ignoring the old man's struggle and crying, picking up scissors and cutting at the roots of the man's braids.

"My braids, return my braids......"

The moment the old man's braid was cut off, the old man suddenly cried, but the military master glanced at him contemptuously and stuffed a copper coin into his hand.

"Go over there and draw a charge!"

He ignored the man, but shouted at the audience;

"Who else? Who's going to come up and cut first? ”

Seeing that no one took the initiative to cut his braids, the face of the military master on the stage changed, and he said coldly.

"Big guy, you have to think clearly, now you have to cut it, you have to cut it if you don't cut it, you have to cut it, you are Han if you cut your braids, you are a traitor if you don't cut your braids, if it is after these twenty days, let alone a lot of money, when the time comes, you can save your head, it's all two!"

When I heard that I was going to cut off my head, the people in the audience were all shocked, even if I didn't want to, I still dared to speak, but I didn't dare to take the lead, and it was a man who walked up to the stage and shouted in his mouth.

", isn't it just a braid, a dog tartar thing, what do you want it to do? Come on, Master Jun, cut me ......"

"Hey, it's really a man of the Han family!"

The military master on the stage praised and said to the shaver on the side.

"Let's shave this man's head first!"

When Li Feihu finished shaving his head and walked to the side to draw a charge to receive the money, when he took the copper coin, he was stunned for a different time, looked at the copper coin without square holes, and asked puzzled.

"Master Jun, this, what kind of money is this?"

"Dahan Tongbao, be a big money in Wuwen!"

Because the back of his head is no longer braided, it looks lighter, but Li Feihu looked at the different copper coin in his hand, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Han Army, Shaved Head, Han Tongbao......

As he uttered these words, he finally realized that this was a change of dynasty! (To be continued.) )
