The Du family is the imperial merchant of our Ziyang Kingdom, do you know what an imperial merchant is? It is specialized in royal business and does things for the royal family. In the entire Ziyang Country, it can be said that almost all industries are involved. And those who can be imperial businessmen, in addition to having huge financial resources, there must be someone behind this. Who it is, my mother won't tell you, you'll know later.

It's not that my mother won't let you make that candle, but you have to know. This candle is already in the hands of Nadufu, once you do it and are found by the poisonous woman, what should you do? Although my mother wants you to go back, with the second master sheltering, it will be fine. But my mother didn't dare to take that risk, because I was afraid that you would be lost by the poisonous woman before you went back.

Mother has thought about it, you are right, if the second master is really good for you, he will not know about your situation in Nadu Mansion. If it weren't for the poisonous woman being too powerful, or the second master wouldn't care so much about you.

What are you going to do in the future, you ask your mother first. If you wait, wait for two or three years, my mother will definitely let you return to Du Mansion safely, and she will definitely be able to help you regain what should have belonged to you. ”

Du Yi's eyes were obscure when he looked at Liu and himself saying this. It was as if everything had already been arranged, and it was only a matter of time.

"Mother......" Du Yi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Liu.

"You go to rest first, listen to my mother. No one can take away what belongs to you. After Liu finished speaking, he pushed Du Yi away.

Liu Dazhu, who was sitting silently on the side, glanced at his wife, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything after all.

Liu and Liu Dazhu have been husband and wife for many years, how can they not understand his thoughts? He said, "Don't worry, I'll arrange everything." Miss's life is hard, and I can't live up to the trust that the lord and lady trust me. The young lady has been with me since she was born, and I have grown up watching her, and I will not allow anyone to oppress her. Don't worry, it's okay. It's late, go to sleep! ”

In the dark room, the sound of shallow breathing came from his wife beside him. Liu's words tonight, in the bottom of Liu Dazhu's heart, seemed to have thrown a stone, and there were ripples in circles.

He didn't know what his wife said was arranged, what did he mean? A big family like Du Fu could not be touched by a peasant family like them.

The child's mother brought back the young lady, he naturally had no opinion, which in itself was also what their family should do. It's just that if the child's mother does something earth-shattering, and it is not good, the whole family will have to pay for it, how can this be good?

In the eyes of those people, peasant families like them are like ants. It's very easy for those people to deal with themselves. I hope the child doesn't make a fool, hey!

Liu Dazhu opened his eyes, thinking about what he knew about the Du family. I think of my current home, and then I think of my daughter-in-law who will have to lie in bed for a long time in the future. He felt the pressure on his shoulders getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that he was about to lose his breath.

Listening to the crow of a rooster outside, Liu Dazhu got up and put on his clothes. I took out the pipe that I hadn't smoked for a long time, and with a hint of light and a careful piece of cloth, I slowly spread it out, and finally grabbed a little tobacco and put it in the pipe. Then he carefully wrapped it up and put it away, and then turned around and went out the door.

Walking into the courtyard, holding a pipe, the coolness in the air made him temporarily leave the troubles in his heart behind.

Du Yi didn't sleep well all night because he was thinking about how to make money all day. When he heard the sound of the door opening and the footsteps coming from the courtyard, he also put on his clothes and quietly got up.

The cold of the early morning made Du Yi shiver. Through the faint light, she saw Liu Dazhu sitting in the courtyard, smoking a dry cigarette with a frown.

This is the first time Du Yi has seen Liu Dazhu smoking after coming to this house for so long. It was also the first time I saw this silent man, and the sorrow between his eyebrows could not be erased.

"Dad, I was tired yesterday, why don't you rest for a while?" Du Yi slowly approached Liu Dazhu and sat down beside him.

Hearing Du Yi's voice, Liu Dazhu stiffened, and his hand smoking dry tobacco paused. After a while, he said, "Why did Yiyi wake up?" You're tired these days, so go get some sleep! ”

Liu Dazhu did not answer Du Yi's words, but looked at the girl in front of him distressedly. He has seen everything that has happened at home recently. I also understand how the Miss Du family in front of me is wholeheartedly devoted to her family.

Maybe he really shouldn't think so much, Du Yi is really for the good of this family, and he really treats his own family as a relative. No matter what happens in the future, it is absolutely impossible for this family to leave her in front of her. In the future, she will be her own daughter.

Xu figured it out, and the expression on Liu Dazhu's face gradually eased. Looking at Du Yi's gaze, there was also a hint of love. This kind of love is no different from peach blossoms.

"Dad, I'm in good spirits, it's okay. By the way, Dad, after our rice is harvested, don't we plant anything in the field? ”

Now the weather is relatively cool in the morning and evening, but by noon, it is still warm. Maybe you can take advantage of this time to focus on what's not?

"No, the next weather, I guess it's going to start raining. It is said that there is an autumn rain and a cold, but this is not the case on our side. It gets cold from November to March. It is not until after March that the seeds can be planted. As soon as November begins, frozen soil will appear and there will be no way to plant. ”

Doe was depressed again, what kind of climate is this? October is warm, but how you listen to it, November immediately turns into winter. There are also people who can start planting seeds in February, but here it is in March. It's weird, I've never encountered such a weird climate.

"Oh, what do we eat here in winter?" If you don't grow for so long, what do you eat?

"Don't worry about this, there are cabbage, turnips, and all kinds of pickles. It's just that the left and right are all of these things, and naturally there is no way to compare with the present. ”

Liu Dazhu sighed in his heart, in the end, she is a daughter, and she doesn't understand any of this. In fact, these problems are clear even to peasant girls like Peach Blossom, who can be regarded as stepping out of the door.

Now there is no need to worry about the food at home, it is enough for the family to eat. It's just that where should I earn the money I need? The Liu family didn't allow her to make any candles or anything like that, just because they were worried that the Du Ling clan would find her.

But she needs to make money, but what she has to do must be something that Nadu Mansion does not imply. It's just that in this way, she has to go to the town or the prefecture to see and understand the market before she can decide what needs to be done in the end.

Those mangosteens should also be ripe, just enough to wait for the weather to be a little colder, and get them to Fucheng to sell. Regardless of whether it sells well or not, when the time comes, I will buy a hundred catties first, and then go back to Fucheng.

It was already dawn, and breakfast was made by Duyi, and it was just simple porridge and cabbage, and so on. In the past, the family ate two meals a day, but since Doe paid the money for the tax, the new grain has become three meals a day.

"Yiyi, I've thought about it, today I went to other places with my mother and father to see if there are any purple fruits, which are the grapes you said. For things at home, you and Peach Blossom will have to worry a little more. ”

Erlang knew that Du Fu said that grapes could be sold for silver when they were made into wine, so he ruthlessly wanted to get more back. The children and mothers in the family are like this now, and there is not much silver, and in a few months, another population will be added when the time comes. This pressure will only get bigger and bigger, so it's good to take advantage of the efforts of the past few days to go around other mountains.

"Second brother, you can go with confidence. With me and Yiyi at home, we will take care of my sister-in-law and Xiaohuzi. "Peach Blossom feels that her place in this family is becoming more and more important.

She loved it. Finally, I no longer feel like a burden, and I can help my family a little.

After the meal, Liu Dazhu and the other three put on their backs and went out. Doy went out with a basin of clothes that the family had changed. This time, the place where she washed her clothes was specially chosen to be downstream.

"Peach Blossom, are you at home?" Brother Zhao hadn't seen Peach Blossom for a few days, and he knew about her sister-in-law, so he seized the time to come.

Li Niang knew the relationship between Brother Zhao and Peach Blossom, so she said, "You go and accompany Brother Zhao, I'll squint for a while." ”

Brother Zhao carried a bamboo basket in his hand, covered it with a cloth, walked into the yard, and saw the peach blossom coming out of Liniang's house.

"How do you have time to come out today? Is your milk so kind? Peach Blossom knew the situation of their family, just because her mother could give birth to a son, and she couldn't straighten her waist at home.

Because the family is not separated, those concubines usually bully them. Which job in the family is not for them to do? Although they are four sisters, they can wash clothes, cook, feed livestock, chop firewood, etc., which is missing something?

Even if he is so capable, he is still wronged. often can't eat, just because her grandmother said that her daughters are all money-losers. No matter how well it is raised, it is still for someone else's family. Rather than this, it is better to save a mouthful of food and feed it to the chickens, so that they can lay an egg and sell some silver.

Zhao Brother and like a thief, he looked back and forth, left and right to see that there was no one, and then walked into the kitchen of Peach Blossom's house.

"My mother asked me to come, my grandmother doesn't know. My mother knows about your sister-in-law's situation and asked me to send a few eggs. My family is poor, you know, and if you earn money, you have to hand over every penny. These eggs were obtained yesterday for the villagers to pick grapes, so don't be too little. ”

As he spoke, he lifted the basket, revealing more than a dozen eggs.

Peach Blossom's heart was very moved, how difficult it was to recruit her brother's family, she knew very well. These eggs are probably the best they can come up with. On weekdays, even when they go to their grandmother's house, they don't see so many eggs given.

"You said you were coming, what else are you doing with this. If you let your milk know, wouldn't it be a fuss? You haven't eaten yet, have you? I still have some porridge at home, and I'll serve it to you. ”

Peach Blossom glanced at her brother with disgust, scooped up a bowl of porridge from the pot neatly, and dug out some pickled pickles from the urn.

Zhaodi's family has meals before noon, twice a day. It is natural to eat black gnocchi, or black batter. Where is there porridge with rice like this.

When Peach Blossom brought it over, she only felt a burst of aroma wafting in, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She had almost forgotten the taste of rice. At the end of the year, you can only eat it on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Eat slowly, there's still in the pot. If you are hungry in the future, come to me, and I will leave you half a bowl every day. Peach Blossom felt very sorry for Brother Zhao, and when she looked at her gobbling up, she was afraid that she would choke.

After a bowl of belly, Brother Zhao patted his belly, smacked his mouth, and then said, "Don't, this rice is expensive, don't keep it for me." Your sister-in-law and nephew at home can eat more, and it's a waste to eat it for me. Okay, I see you're quite busy, if there are any clothes to be washed at home, I'll help you wash them. ”

Hengzhu She has half a day to spare today, and most of the peach blossoms do something, which is worthy of this bowl of rice porridge.

"No need, Yiyi has already washed the clothes, you can just chat with me here. If you go back now, and you are called again, it is better to rest here. ”

When Brother Zhao heard that it was Du Yi who went to wash the clothes, he immediately stood up: "I'll help Sister Yi Yi wash together, and I'll be back soon." ”

Brother Zhao is a man of action, and after speaking, he will go out. Peach Blossom quickly grabbed her: "Don't, you still don't go." If you go, you will be seen. Go back and tell your milk, and when you go back, you will have to be beaten. ”

Hearing Peach Blossom's words, Brother Zhao paused, and said, "Anyway, I'm used to it, it's nothing." It's just that when she said this, her voice was much weaker, and there was a deep sadness in her eyes.

"Listen to me, just play here for half a day, and Yiyi will do the laundry quickly. At noon, I ate at my house and went back, and don't go home and drink that black paste. ”

Peach Blossom felt sorry for her brother, so she couldn't help but pull her to Liniang's room. Xiaohuzi was tired of playing, and was lying on Liniang's side and fell asleep.

"Brother Zhao? Sit down! Liniang struggled to hold on.

Zhao Di was faster than Peach Blossom, stepped forward to help Liniang, and waited for her to sit down, and then sat on the edge of the bed.

"Sister-in-law, you don't even know that this girl is here to see you. You said that her family was like that, and she sent a dozen eggs. When Peach Blossom said this, she glanced at her brother again with disgust.

"How does this work? Peach Blossom, you can leave three for a while, and let Brother Zhao take the rest back. Brother Zhao, it's not my sister-in-law, I won't accept your eggs. It's just that your family is not easy, and my sister-in-law is not short of your eggs. After you take it back, don't let your grandmother and your aunt know. I went back to make up for the children in the family, and the younger brothers were still young, and it was time to grow up. ”

Brother Zhao's eyes are a little red, and people who have nothing to do with their own family can care so much about their family. Why did her own mother either beat or scold them, not even as good as an outsider?

"Hey, what's wrong, why did you cry so well. If you have any grievances, just say it, and your sister-in-law will help you think of it. Li Niang was a little at a loss, did she say something that shouldn't have been said, causing Brother Zhao to cry?

"It's okay sister-in-law, I'm just, just thinking about the situation at home, I'm a little sad. You say my milk, what the hell does she think? We're also her own granddaughters, and she doesn't think about it for us. Every day is either beaten or scolded, and you are not allowed to eat?

If my mother is not in good health, she will accuse Sang of scolding my mother for grinding and urine on my lazy donkey. If my brother said a word, she would hit her head and brain, and scolded us for being the head of the household with the villagers.

You say that in this world, how can there be such a person as my milk? Sometimes I can't help but wonder if my dad is my grandmother's son. I'm not afraid of what you say, sometimes I secretly think, my dad is actually not my milk, my dad picked it up. Otherwise, my grandmother is a stepmother, so that's why I treat our family like this. ”

When Li Niang heard this, she hurriedly interrupted: "You kid, you can't take out this kind of thing in the future." If it is known, it will be poked in the back. That's your grandmother, your father's mother-in-law. If your words are spread out, you will be said to be unfilial, and you will be drowned by spittle, how will you find your in-laws in the future? ”

Peach Blossom pursed her lips disapprovingly, and said to Brother Zhao: "If you really can't get by, let your father and mother separate from your grandmother." I believe that after you break up, you will definitely have a better life than you have now.

Look at your second uncle's family, they are too lazy to get moldy, but your milk is like a baby. If you can split up, you wait and see. Your family is destined to live better than it is now, and it will be much better than your uncle. ”

"I also want to split up, but my grandmother said that if anyone dares to say that they will break up, it will kill her. That's a big unfilial piety, and my father didn't dare to say it. It's just that every time my mother is wronged, she can only cry secretly.

Besides, people like my grandmother are separated. If my family is doing well, she will definitely try her best to toss my family. If it's not going well, it's the same. As long as she holds the shelves of her elders all day, my family will not be at peace. ”。

When Brother Zhao said this, he was already gritting his teeth. I wish her grandmother would die soon, so as to save their family.
