On the first day of February, Ye Feng will rest at home for a day.

Xia Li was grounded, and after breakfast, he continued to copy "The Female Ring", Ye Feng went to ask the elders to say goodbye, and Mama Zhao also came to the hospital on duty.

She saw Xia Li copying "The Female Ring", and listened to Xia Li explain the reason, and said with a smile, "If the next time the eldest grandmother meets the two women of the Qiu family, you had better get by on the big side, and let the subordinates or treat them as rude." ”

Although Ye Feng didn't say it explicitly, she had guessed the relationship between Xia Li and the Qiu family, and fully understood Xia Li's hatred for the old Qi family, but she still didn't agree with Xia Li's rudeness.

Xia Li didn't want to explain more, so he didn't say anything.

At that time, a big girl named Shui Ling came to He'an, she held a box in her hand, and brought a mother-in-law from two sewing rooms.

Xia Li hurriedly got up and gave up his seat, and Xunying personally brought a cup of tea.

Shui Ling thanked him, and smiled at Mama Zhao first, "The county lord has something to do, please go to the main courtyard." ”

Mama Zhao heard this and hurriedly walked out.

Xia Li guessed that He An wanted to learn about her past from Mama Zhao, and she was not worried that Mama Zhao would say something unfavorable to her......

Shui Ling smiled again, "I sent a monthly order to the eldest grandmother." The grandmother's regular money is twenty taels of silver per month, four sets of clothes and two sets of fat powder per quarter. Regular jewellery purchases...... The housekeeper and mother have two taels of silver, and the big girl has one tael of silver and five hanging dollars, and two sets of clothes per quarter...... The eldest lady said that her uncle and cousin are guests, and they live in our house, and they must also be given according to the master's monthly rate. My uncle and cousin have a monthly salary of ten taels of silver, and four sets of clothes per quarter......"

He also asked the mother-in-law in the sewing room to measure Xia Li, Xia Ju and a few girls from Xiangshan.

Xia Li guessed that Ye Fu would send monthly examples to Xia Ju and Xia Erni, and she had discussed it with Ye Feng before, but she didn't want it. That day, the second lady took them as a reward for earning money for herself, did she feel that she hadn't separated yet, and Ye Feng was not only served? All the rewards should be confiscated, and all the gains should be confiscated. In the eyes of these people, Xia Li is a peasant girl, and her stepfather is a small military attaché, so she shouldn't have so much dowry. Those dowries were all given to her by Ye Feng.

It's not good for your "poor relatives" to live in and follow the monthly example.

Ye Feng said that the second lady couldn't do anything if she wanted to think like that. The head of the family, including his mother and Lord An, are not stingy people. They want to send monthly examples to Xia Ju and Xia Erni, that is to give Xia Li face, and their kindness should not be refused.

As for the second lady, she is a good person, but she is a little stingy. As long as she doesn't say it, ignore her. If you say it clearly, don't be afraid of her, just go back, or let the elders come forward......

Not long after sending away a few people from the water and grass, Ye Feng brought back a young man in his early twenties. The latter was wearing a muslin robe and looked very nervous.

After sending all the subordinates back, the descendant knelt down and said, "Big girl, you are still alive, you have entered Beijing, and you have married a good family, it's so good, woo woo woo woo ......"

Before he finished speaking, he couldn't cry, and cried again and took out a stack of papers from his arms and presented it, saying, "This is the dowry list that the first grandmother asked my grandfather to keep, we moved many times, and there was nothing, but these dowry lists are still kept, and they can finally be handed over to the eldest girl." Woowoo woo ......"

Xia Li was stunned and asked, "...... are you?"

Ye Feng said, "He is Yang Gui's grandson Yang Zixing......

Yang Gui and his wife are another pair of henchmen of Yang An'an who stayed in the suburbs of Beijing. At that time, it was they who found a way to take out the bag of the original owner and hand it over to the Xia family, and a few years later, Yang Gui also went to Xiaowa Village once, and then there was no news.

After Qiu Jili came to see Xia Li last year, he sent someone to the suburbs of Beijing to secretly investigate the news of Yang Gui when he returned. really found the Yang family in a village, but Yang Gui has been dead for many years.

Nine years ago, the old Qiu Qi clan somehow knew that the Yang family was the people left by Yang An'an, and sent someone to find them. After fighting on the side for a long time, and without obtaining useful information, he fabricated charges against them and seized their 50 acres of land. Yang Gui and his son were sentenced to 50 canes and five years in prison. As a result, the father and son only sat for half a year before they both died in prison.

Their family lost their land and house at once, Yang Zixing's mother and sister died of illness one after another, and Mrs. Yang was still alive, just spread out on the bed. Yang Zixing rented a few acres of land to plant and raised his paralyzed grandmother. Because of poverty, he has not married a daughter-in-law in his twenties......

Xia Li cried. For Xia Li, this family was ruined.

She took the stack of papers, asked Yang Zixing to get up, and bowed to him again, saying, "Thank you, thank you Grandpa Yang and Grandma Yang for saving me." Your family's enmity, I will let the Qiu Qi clan pay for it with blood. Then he asked, "How is Grandma Yang's illness?" I went to the doctor to treat her. ”

Yang Zixing said, "Miss Xie is worried about my milk. Since we have moved many times, it was only in the last two months that Master Qiu came to us, rewarded us with 500 taels of silver, and bought a small courtyard to house us. Now my milk is fine, the doctor has seen her and has been taking medicine. ”

Xia Li rewarded Yang Zixing with 600 taels of silver, let him marry his daughter-in-law, buy land, and live a good life for his grandchildren. I also rewarded Mrs. Yang with a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of silver bracelets, a few gold and silver hairpins, ginseng, notoginseng and many other tonics.

Yang Zixing heard this and knelt down again. Kowtowed and said, "When my grandfather was here, I was young, so I didn't say a lot of things. It was only after Master Qiu found us that my grandmother told the truth. Our family let go of the slave contract because we had to do something for the eldest grandmother. The slave is still willing to be a slave to the eldest girl, and be a loyal slave like my father......"

Xia Li is a modern concept, and he feels that there is no freedom when he is a slave, and no matter how good he is, he is not good at being a good citizen. What's more, Yang Zixing has so much money, buying land and doing business is enough to live a rich life, why do you have to be a slave?

Ye Feng can understand. Some of the subordinates wanted to be loyal slaves, just as many courtiers wanted to be loyal servants, and this was one of their beliefs. Moreover, the tragic death of four relatives in Yang Zixing's family does not rule out that he has the factor of following Xia Li to take revenge.

said, "If he wants to stay, he can stay, he is young, and the people of the Qiu family will not know him." Be your steward, and help you run things other than the second door. Later, his children will be gracious and let them be good citizens. ”

Yang Zixing listened, and kowtowed to Ye Feng again to thank him.

Xia Li said, "That's good." It's just that you can't call Yang Zixing for the time being, just call Xia Xing. We don't feel at ease when your grandmother is home alone, so we will build a yard for her next to my Zhuangzi, buy a mother-in-law to serve her, and then let Uncle Zhu's family help watch it. ”

After listening to Xia Li's arrangement, Yang Zixing ...... No, now I want to call Xia Xing, Xia Xing is even more happy, and kowtows to thank him.
