Lu Yougui was stunned: "What did you say?" ”

"This is the little grange!" Chunying leaned forward unconsciously. There was a bit of eagerness in his tone, "Isn't it best if no one robs and is far away?" The so-called mountain is far away from the emperor, and Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu's life is so nourishing, because Xishan Zhuangzi is far away from the Hou Mansion, and the old lady, Hou Ye and Mrs. don't care, they only ask about the production every year, and the rest is up to the couple to decide. Originally, the big grange in Shunyi was also very good, but my father said that there were several people who grabbed it, and even if they grabbed it, they would be remembered. It's better for our family to get hold of that little grange and then find an opportunity to move there with the whole family......"

She has thought of many ways to get out of the country, but her parents don't agree, what can she do? After a few more years, when her father has reached the position of chief steward, he may seek to go to the next level and get out of the country, but at that time, she and her sister are also past the age of marriage, and God knows which cat and dog those people above will match themselves to? At this stage, all she can do is what the rules allow. Be as little enslaved as possible by those in high positions, and don't let them affect their family's life too much. If the father can become the sole steward of the grange, and his own family can successfully move with him to live in the grange, then in addition to returning to the house every year to report the business status and production, there is no need to serve in the Hou Mansion, and the marriage of their sisters can also be free from the control of the Hou Mansion. When my brother is two years older, let him be educated in the school of that grange, and then think of a way to leave the country in the future......

Chunying gritted her teeth, this was the bottom line she could accept, it was much more difficult to redeem herself than she expected, and not getting the support of her family made her even more frustrated.

Lu Yougui frowned and stared at his daughter: "Chun'er, are you ...... Still thinking about getting out of the country? ”

Chunying was shocked, opened her mouth, and closed her mouth. She does not deny this, and her father may be able to listen to her more sensibly than her mother.

Lu Yougui understood, took a sip of tea, and tapped the index finger of his other hand lightly on the table, and then said, "I know you haven't dispelled this idea yet...... I don't know how you can hold on to this idea for several years at your young age. Do you want to ask me to do the same because you see that your Uncle Lu can get out of the country when he becomes the steward of the grange? If you don't rob Shunyi's Zhuangzi, are you afraid that your father and I won't be able to rob others? ”

Chunying calmed down a little and sat back in her original position: "I...... I'm also doing it for the good of my family...... has always been a slave to others, and he can't help himself. What better place to be in charge? ”

Lu Yougui sighed: "What about being a slave? If you go out and be a common people, you will surely have a happy life? Your second uncle told me about your year outside. The young master of the imperial merchant surnamed Hu, as soon as he was kicked out of the house, he was so depressed that he was not as good as us, you went out with him to sell things, weren't you still bullied by the children of the official family? If it weren't for the third young master who happened to meet and help, what would you do? The common people...... Hmph, ordinary people can't be their own masters! ”

Chun Ying hurriedly argued: "That's when I met someone with bad intentions!" Just by chance......"

"There are more bad people out there, how do you know that our family won't meet them?"

"That'...... Aunt Lu's family is out of her nationality, and she is doing well......"

"They are the grace of the master!" Lu Yougui put the cup on the table, "It's said that it's a naturalization, but it's just a future for his son!" In fact, it is still the same as before, doing the same thing, and being the same bad! You can make your own decisions when you are their family?! Quickly dispel this idea for me, let people know, and it is necessary to arrange that you have a heart to betray the Lord! When the time comes, our family will be affected by you! ”

Chunying's eyes were red, she bit her lip and got up and went back to her room, the more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged, and after a while, her vision blurred, and she almost burst into tears.

Someone opened the curtain and walked in, and Chunying heard movement. Knowing that it was his father, he turned his head to prevent him from seeing his face. Lu Yougui stared at his daughter for a while, sighed, and said in a slow tone: "Okay, girl, I know that you want to make your family have a better life, you have gone through the previous events, for fear that you will suffer again in the future, so you want to get out early, don't you?" ”

When Chunying heard him say this, her tears finally couldn't help but fall, and she took out her handkerchief with a flat mouth and wiped it, but the tears kept pouring out.

"You kid ......" Lu Yougui said helplessly, "Don't I have any thoughts in my heart when you are your father?" If it weren't for the identity of the son of the family, our old Lu family was as rich and noble back then, and the owners of the major shops in Beijing would call your grandfather an old man when they met, but overnight, it all changed, your grandfather died, only took a broken mat and buried it hastily, and your grandfather didn't even keep the ancestral house, and the whole family was laughed at and bullied every day...... But it's fate! Who called our ancestor the slave of the Hou Mansion?! ”

He sighed, thinking back to the past, and choked up a little, "But...... went on a business trip, and saw more of the world along the way, and my father was a little happy in his heart...... If we weren't born as slaves of the Hou Mansion, we would have to work hard for three meals a day. In a disaster year, I don't even know if I can save my life, and the three of you sisters and brothers have no support, maybe they will be displaced, and they will still be sold into slavery! At that time, there may not be a good family like the Hou Mansion who is willing to take you in! ”

While listening, Chunying slowly turned around, looked at her father, sniffed, and said, "We won't be so miserable...... We can find a rich place and do a small business, our father is so capable, we are not afraid of not making money, and when my younger brother is older and takes a fame test, we can live happily like other people's families......"

Lu Yougui laughed when he heard this: "You also think too highly of your father and me, do you think that your father is really capable?" Others are willing to deal with Dad, but for the sake of the Hou Mansion, if there is no Hou Mansion, Dad is nothing! ”

"No, it won't!" Chun Ying hurriedly said, "Brother Xiaofei is not from the Hou Mansion, and he has no backer behind him, so he can still make money." If it weren't for his brother's obstruction, he would have opened a shop a long time ago! ”

"But he didn't make it." Lu Yougui interrupted her, "It's because he doesn't have a backer, isn't it?" If he is a little dependent, he will not be afraid of his brother. What is the Hu family? It's just a royal businessman, when his father was on an errand at the gate in the past, he met a guest who came to visit, which one couldn't strangle his family like an ant? Your second uncle has been unsuccessful in the past two years, and he has not taken the Hu family in his eyes. But even if the Hu family is nothing, it is still okay to bully a common person. There are many such people out there, and you don't have to rely on them. The end will only be worse! ”

"That's because his brother has the heart to kill him!" Chunying said unconvinced, "The gun shoots the first bird, the rich and powerful will only bully the people who hinder them, or the rich and powerless, let's be ordinary people with peace of mind, a little money, just live a good life, and don't seek to get ahead, why should people deal with us?" If you can't survive if you don't rely on it, won't the ordinary people outside all hit the wall?! If people can get by, why can't we?! ”

"You ......" Lu Yougui was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "There are people in this world who don't like you for nothing, and if you want to toss your family, you can't get by, what can you do about it?!" Then you'll know you'll regret it! Seeing that her daughter was unhappy, she had to say helplessly: "Stop thinking nonsense, isn't this good now?" Dad asked for a good errand to come back, the family did not worry about food and clothing, and in the event of a natural disaster**, his own masters stood in the way. Let's live in peace! ”

This conversation ended like this, and Chunying was a little discouraged. Even if she longs to get out of her nationality and can't get the support of her family, it's useless, do she want to leave them and fight for her own freedom? But her parents are still parents, sisters and brothers are still sisters and brothers, and she is inseparable from her family.

Maybe when he was depressed in the past, my father had the idea of leaving his nationality, because it meant that he could leave his original environment and strive for a better future. But now, my father has a good job, his status has improved, he has more money in hand, the family has changed to a big house, and life is getting better and better, so he began to hesitate and did not want to give up this stable life. After all, he grew up in the back streets of Houfu. The ideology of having children in the family is deep-rooted, how can we understand Chunying's emphasis on "freedom"?

Chunying was so depressed that she stayed in the room for a long time, and Lu's mother urged her twice before she woke up and went to help in the kitchen. After lunch, she should go back according to the agreement, and when she said goodbye, looking at her father, she wanted to speak and stopped, but she still couldn't hold back: "Dad...... Even if it's not for the sake of what we just said, I still think it's better for you to ask for a position in the steward outside...... Staying by Hou Ye's side on an errand is said to be decent, but in fact, there is also a lot of risk, the master may not be angry when he will get angry, he will take you out, and eating the board is still a trivial matter! On an errand outside, the master won't think of you if he has nothing to do, and even if he does, he can't hit you immediately......" paused, and lowered his voice, "To put it mildly, if something happens in the house, it's easier to escape outside......"

Lu Yougui's face changed, and Lu's mother spoke first: "What stupid thing are you talking about?!" What's going to happen in the house?! How many people rushed to wait by the Hou Ye, but you called your father Rangxian?! How can anyone as stupid as you be?! ”

Chunying lowered her head and touched her brother's little face. Xiaohu grinned at her, stretched out three fingers, and stammered, "Sansan...... Get nine ......" is the multiplication formula she just taught.

Chunying grabbed his hand, turned to his parents and said, "Dad, mother, Xiaohu is three years old this year, and he should start learning something, he can't even count." You are all people who can write and count, why don't you teach him a lesson? He is such a big person, he only knows how to play cloth tigers all day long, even if it is for his future, he can't let him waste time? ”

Lu's mother picked up her son angrily, and when she saw that his cuffs were black, she gently patted him on the head and scolded: "Where did you wipe it again?!" Didn't you tell you not to get dirty?! Then he turned to his daughter and said, "It's easy for you to say, I have long forgotten the words I recognize, and your father is not idle." What's more, counting is such a thing, he doesn't need to teach it in a few years, and he doesn't have to accompany the little master to study, what does he do to read and write? If you recognize thousands of words, you can't get into Xiucai! ”

Chunying pursed her lips: "Aunt Qing said that in two years, I will let my younger brother go to study with the young master of the Huo family, no matter whether this can be done or not, it is always good for my younger brother to learn more things." Even if you grow up and look at the gate, you must know how to read the prayer post! ”

Mother Lu's eyes lit up, and she was about to ask clearly, but she was stopped by Lu Yougui: "The matter of the little young master of the Huo family has nothing to do with us, we will talk about this later." Chun'er, your father understands what you say, you can do a good job in the house, don't worry about home. New Errand ...... Daddy knows it! ”

Chun Ying looked into his eyes, but he looked away, picked up a bag and stuffed it: "A few snacks that your mother made for you, and you also want the dried sweet potatoes sent by your second uncle, take them to other girls." ”

Chunying took the burden with some disappointment, and silently turned around and left the house.

When you go out, turn left and walk about fifty or sixty meters, which is a relatively remote alley. In the past, it was the residence of several families of the Hou Mansion, but now some of these families have been sent to other places, some are no longer empty, and some have been resold by the whole family, or moved to other courtyards like the Lu family in the past, and there are almost no people in the alley. When Chunying had just moved back from her second uncle's house, she had also come here to explore the danger, and at that time she had suspected that the corner gate here was the garden gate next to the hut where Zhou Nian and Sanqing temporarily lived, and she deeply regretted that she didn't know that her new home was so close to her earlier.

Chunying stood at the mouth of the alley, looking at both ends, and was about to step over, when she heard someone behind her calling her: "Sister! Sister Lu! She paused at her feet, and when she looked back, it was actually the little girl pavilion who accompanied her home.

Ting'er carried a small burden in one hand and a rock sugar gourd in the other, and ran over with a jump, and said with a smile: "Sister wants to go back, why don't you tell me?" If Aunt Zhao knows that I didn't go back with my sister, you must scold me! ”

Chunying blinked and pulled out a smile: "It's okay, didn't I say you could go back by yourself?" ”

"But Aunt Zhao said......"

"Don't care what Aunt Zhao says, it's just two steps, if you want to follow, just follow." Chunying made up her mind, turned around and walked into the alley, and Ting'er hurriedly closed her mouth and followed.

Chunying calmly passed through a few doors, noticing that the innermost one was unlocked, she held her breath and continued to walk in quietly, knocking a few times on the corner door, and the door opened.

Sanqing's face emerged from behind the door, causing Ting'er to scream in fright. After not seeing her for a long time, Chunying was also a little frightened, and reluctantly waved her hand to say hello: "Hello...... That one...... We're going to go in from here......" She glanced at Ting'er quickly, hoping that Sanqing understood her hint.

Sanqing smiled slightly and got out of the way. Chunying grabbed Ting'er with her backhand, walked directly inside, and walked until she reached the lake, before she said to Ting'er: "Look, aren't we going back to the house?" Where did you go on an errand? Do you want me to show me the way? ”

Ting'er patted his chest and said, "It's okay, I'm on the second door, I know the way, go to the kitchen first, and then go around to the front yard!" She looked left and right, a little moved.

Chunying smiled: "Then you go, I'm going back too, and by the way, pick a few flowers and put a bottle for Aunt Qing." ”

Ting'er simply responded, and ran to the sea of flowers in the distance with a hula. Chunying smiled, slowly walked to the bushes next to her, took advantage of her missight, hid behind the big tree, and waited until she was far away before turning around and walking back.

When he returned to the corner gate, Sanqing had been waiting for a long time: "Are you back?" ”

Chunying smiled: "Are you still living here?" That young master ...... Nian"

Sanqing grinned: "The young master said that he could do it, and he would look for me if he had something." ”

Chunying nodded, grabbed a handful of dried sweet potatoes from the burden in her arms and gave it to him: "Please eat, it's very sweet." ”

Sanqing took the dried sweet potato, and the roots of his ears were a little red: "Xie ......" Chunying smiled, opened the door and walked out.

The courtyard gate without a padlock was only a few steps away, and Chun Ying approached step by step, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. When I came to the door, I pushed it gently, and the door opened, and I squeezed in, closed the door with my backhand, and there was silence in the courtyard.

This is an ordinary courtyard house, the pattern is similar to the courtyard where the Lu family lives, the wings on both sides are old, only the main house has been renovated, and the white wall of Wuwa is very elegant. In front of the court, there are a few old cinnamon trees and a jujube tree three or four meters high, and the branches and leaves rustle when the wind blows gently.

"Is Chun'er here?" A male voice came from the room, still as gentle and honest as it had remembered, and then, a familiar figure appeared at the door, with a little emaciation, and a faint smile, and sighed: "I finally looked forward to you." ”

Chunying suddenly felt a sour nose, so she squatted down, hugged her knees and choked up.
