The seventeenth day of the crossing
The autumn sun is not so intense and prickly, as if the elderly are no longer so strong and prickly. Slowly, with a warm temperature. Gently wake up the sleeping man.
Last night, they hurried to Yangping City, the capital of Wusu Province, and it was rare to relax, and everyone had a good sleep and got up late.
When everyone got up and cleaned up, the children let them lie on the bed. Several adults gathered together to discuss things, and Su Yunyu, a young generation, was also listening on the side. After arriving at the post station, wait for the messengers to complete the handover, and then there will be a master in the city to divide them out.
It may be that they got along well along the way, and the errands looked at the Su family with a pleasing eye. When he left, he secretly reminded the Su family of some things to pay attention to.
In the government office here, the prefect of Yangping City is talking about this group of people with his henchmen.
"This group of people and the former prince are involved in only two families, the Li family is the former prince's side concubine's maiden family, the Li family's descendants have all been killed, leaving only a few side lines, and there is nothing to worry about now. If the Su family is concerned, don't worry too much, just pay a little attention, but don't be too embarrassed, the Su family's in-laws are not small, and the original head of the Su family is full of peach and plum, and there is a lot of praise among the literati, and there is still hope for ups and downs. ”
After listening to the master's analysis, Wang Zhifu nodded in agreement, "What you said is that the Li family is not to worry, and the people who climb up by nepotism have no ability, and they can't stand steadily." The Su family is different, I was fortunate to meet Mr. Su when I was young, he is knowledgeable, gentle and respectful. The Su family can take care of it. With a family head like the old gentleman, the juniors will not be sent there. ”
Hearing this, Master Yang also nodded in agreement and returned: "Yes, I heard that the three brothers of the Su family are all on the list at a young age, and the third son is still a thirty-two year old. Then divide them into a new village, so that it will be easier to get along, and then I will choose a village with clean and simple personnel to arrange them. ”
"I've always been relieved to do things, and I'll leave it to you." Governor Wang and Master looked at each other and smiled.
In the end, the Su family was arranged to Nanshan Village, which was under the jurisdiction of Xia Fengtai County, Wusu Province. Su Jinglan and the others inquired that this village had not been built for a long time. The population here in Wusu is sparse, the weather is bad, and the output in the field is small. After all, in ancient times, it was said that there is strength in numbers. In Usu Province, there was no need to divide the new village.
However, the above still attaches great importance to the border, and the imperial court has an order to reclaim more wasteland.
The people below the order above still only paid attention to the edge of Wusu, so five new villages were newly demarcated. They were all families who were originally in the city or town, and there were some people who had been exiled. This time, the officials also made great efforts, and all those who were willing to move their families to the new village were given two taels of settling-in allowance according to their population.
Winter is coming, staying in the city is not eating or drinking, and finally freezing to death, it is better to move, although it is a little remote, but now you can eat a full stomach.
All the people they were exiled together this time, except for the Li family, were arranged to go to Nanshan Village. After following the document office to go through some procedures, now you only need to go to Fengtai County to hand over and complete the final settlement procedures.
This delay was too late, so I had to stay in Yangping City for one more night, and set off for Fengtai County tomorrow.
It's about to settle down, and everyone is thinking about it for a while.
Yangping here in winter is cold and hot in summer, and the winter is relatively long, and the freezing disaster is very serious every winter, and many people freeze to death every year. The land is wide, but a lot of it is forests and swamps, and there are many jackals, tigers and leopards.
The population is small and cannot be cultivated at all, and because of the weather and technology, the yield in the field is also low, and it is difficult to feed some crops with hard work, which will attract the attack of wild beasts, and it is good to spoil the crops, but unfortunately those who can't run away will become the rations of these beasts.
Nanshan Village, on the other hand, is a newly established village, named for its proximity to the rolling mountains to the south, which is easy to be attacked by wild beasts, and it is not easy to visit. Compared with other villages built around Yangping City, it is far away from the town, and it is not convenient to go into the city to buy some things. But the water source is abundant, place. The people in Nanshan are all grown up locally, the composition is simple, and there is no surname above, so it will be much easier to get along.
The Su family, as well as the two husbands and wives of the Zhang family, waited to go to Nanshan Village with peace of mind. The people of the Li family were not reconciled, and in the first few days, they came to talk to the people of the Su family, complimenting the Su family, who was capable, and let the Su family go to the first place, looking for a relationship, so that everyone had better stay in the village near Yangping City.
The Su family is not stupid, don't say what status they are now, they are qualified to pick and choose. And they are not stupid to save the world, the Li family just wants to treat them as a stick. I'm afraid it's too beautiful.
Seeing that the people of the Su family did not pay attention to them, the Li family pointed out that Sang scolded Huai and scolded a few words, and was glared at by Qingling. At this time, I remembered that people are not easy to mess with. Only then did it stop, and I didn't dare to go up again.
Of course, their family has not stopped, they are very busy every day, either inviting people to dinner, or secretly giving gifts.
When they were going to Fengtai County the next day, Qingling and they knew that they had really done it.
The Li family, except for the concubine and the children who came out of the concubine, were all transferred to Wudao Village, and the seats in this village are not bad. It is relatively close to Yangping City, and the scale of the village is relatively large, so there is no need to worry about safety. But in fact, this kind of village is very xenophobic, and it is not easy for outsiders to live in this kind of village.
The Li family also did it, and directly gave up the concubine and concubine. also reversed black and white and said that the concubine did not abide by the woman's way, and the child was not their Li family. Their Li family generously did not hold them accountable and let them live on their own in the future.
Maybe it cost a lot to do this this time, how could the Li family spend another sum of money for an unimportant concubine and concubine.
The concubine of the Li family, who had been holding her head down and pulling her son behind the Li family, seemed to have expected this result a long time ago, accepted it calmly, and asked the Li family to write a concubine release book, and no longer care about the affairs of the Li Mansion when she marries in the future.
The child who was tightly pulled by her, like an angry young beast, stared at the Li family viciously with red eyes.
At this moment, these people are no longer his family in his eyes, but his enemies. He would remember how these people persecuted his mother and abused them. He wants to see what happens to these people.
Looking at the complacent Li family, the Su family was also shocked by their shamelessness. But there are some people who have done evil and look proud. When the affairs of the Li family are done, they still have the Zhang family and their husbands, and the concubines of the Li family are now called Yun Niang and her children to go to Nanshan Village in Fengtai County together.
After walking for another two days, a group of people entered Fengtai County.
After going to the county government office the next day to report, everyone got their own household registration and had mixed feelings for a while. In the future, it is not surprising that they will stay in this strange place for the rest of their lives. I will never be able to return to my homeland where I grew up.
This time when they resettled, the Su family discussed and divided the family, and each small family arranged it by itself. It just so happens that they don't have the problem of property distribution now. Su Mingzhu this
An unmarried sister-in-law originally wanted to follow her eldest brother.
But Qingling and Su Jingyun used the excuse that there were many children in the family, and wanted the little sister to follow them, and help to take care of the children when there was something.
Before this, Su Mingzhu secretly told Qingling that she wanted to live with them in the third room.
Although she has a low sense of presence along the way, she silently follows the third brother and their family, she likes the third brother's family in her heart, and the third sister-in-law has few words, but she is kind and capable. I don't dislike her.
She is a burden, if she follows the eldest brother's family, it will increase the burden on the eldest brother's family, and the children of the eldest brother's family are all grown up and it is time to use money.
She thought about it, she must work twice as much at the third brother's house, help the third brother and three sisters-in-law take care of the children, and cook. In addition, when she gets married, the dowry will be directly left to the third brother as compensation, which can also help them reduce some of their burden.
Qingling listened to Mingzhu's words and nodded directly in agreement. This is a good girl who is considerate. Su Mingzhu is also a child in her eyes at this age, she has the ability and is happy to have Su Mingzhu with their family.
Mingzhu followed Su Jingyun and them, and the others also agreed.
Su Jinglan had five flavors in his heart. sighed. It's because he's not doing a good job as the eldest brother, and it's better for the younger sister to follow the third brother than on his side. How could he not know that his wife didn't want his little sister to live with them. But for this wife who is dedicated to him and to this family. He couldn't bear to reproach her.
That's fine. Instead of coming to his side, it is better to follow the third brother. The younger brother and sister are not simple people and have a sparse temperament, not ordinary boudoir women.
Qi Shi breathed a sigh of relief on the side, she looked at her son and daughter beside her, her heart was full of sourness, her heart was full of guilt, but she didn't regret it. Having one more person in the family is not just about having more pairs of chopsticks.
The second room also agreed, and Su Jingchen also agreed that it would be better for the little sister to follow the third brother's family. He is not a vulgar businessman, but not stupid. He also understood that the third brother and sister were capable, and they didn't care. The little sister can't suffer a loss with their family.
In the future, they may have to trouble them in this room. He knows his own affairs, he and his wife can't cook, and they have a child to take care of. The little sister came to his house, and I was afraid that she would have to take care of them in turn.
In the end, there is a floor apart from the four rooms, and Su Jinghua and the Yang family will not have any objections to this.
Since the last time he encountered a wolf, the Yang family was suddenly frightened, and changed his previous style of wanting to draw a line with Qingling and them, and raised his eyebrows.
Now I always go there with my children in my arms, either I follow my husband closely, or I go to Qingling's side whenever I have time. There are only Qingling's words as an order, which will make her feel more secure.
After settling down and settling down with the family's affairs, the next day there was an official messenger to take them to Nanshan Village to measure the wasteland, as long as they reclaimed the wasteland on time and came to the county government to report again, there would be nothing to do. Of course, without an amnesty and special reasons, they could not leave the confines of Usu Province at will.
It's still early, and now they're allowed to walk around the streets. Everyone was excited for a while, and several women were chattering about what to buy.
The child jumped around and looked at the adult, but did not speak. But the adults knew it in their hearts, and they also felt sorry for a few children, so they all sped up and cleaned up and said to the official. I took a few children to play in the street.
The adults took the children to eat wontons, and bought some pastries, clay figurines, small wooden swords, wave drums and other small toys, which made several children happy all the way.
When the game was almost over, everyone discussed and bought some futons together, and everyone bought clothes. The clothes I wore before were worn or scratched on the road, and most of them were torn. Buy some more food. The other things were not in a hurry for a while, and when Nanshan Village settled down, they were added one by one.
The mood is also slowly relaxed. I am gradually less afraid and repulsed by a strange city.
Of course, a few adults don't just open their mouths to eat every day, and they also inquire about the situation here in Yangping and understand the local prices.
