"My father gave me this life, and everyone thinks that I should die for him, but if I want to die for my own mother, then I am willing, and I am willing to die a thousand times and a hundred times."

"My mother knows that she feels sorry for me, so she will use rags to mend my clothes, sew them very beautifully, and cook sugar water for me to drink, which is very sweet."

"But let me die for my father, I don't want to, say I'm rebellious, then it's rebellious, anyway, I don't want to."

Mingyue was expressionless, and said like a broken jar, "I don't even remember what he looks like, he sold me as easily as selling the chickens and ducks in the family, why should I die for him?" ”

"As for my stepmother and my younger brother, I don't care about their lives or deaths."

Mingyue paused, lowered her head, and hid a trace of worry in her eyes, "I don't know how they are now, and I don't care...... Not care. ”

She said twice in a row that she didn't care.

There was silence in the room.

These words are put outside, so that people can hear that this child is not filial, and the more radical ones may not punish her for the crime of unfilial piety.

But the people in the room didn't say anything.

Fang Ruohua sighed lightly and only said, "Live well." ”

A girl who refuses to accept her fate so much, and wants to live a good life so much, should have a future.

Mingyue, this child, is worse than Aunt Ye.

Although Yegu is also a lowly, but she is a free person, Fang Ruohua took the relationship between Xue Pingsheng and General Xue, let her settle down in Nan'an City, got rid of her lowly status, and now she is also a good citizen.

Mingyue entered the Department of Teaching Workshop, and it was much more difficult to get out of the country.

In fact, even if the Xu family is confiscated now, in Fang Ruohua's Duxiu Villa, many guests have official doors, and it is not impossible for her to leave the country.

But Fang Ruohua didn't think it should be so anxious.

Since the teachers of the Teaching Department like her, it is not impossible for her to stay in the Teaching Division, be protected by the Teaching Division, and learn something well.

Moreover, if she can learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and have a little fame, those dignitaries and nobles are also easy to give her freedom because of pity.

Just thinking about it like this, Fang Ruohua was a little irritable, at the moment, this Great Zhou Dynasty was full of rules and regulations, locking everyone in the grid, and she couldn't take a step beyond the thunder pool, and the people in it might not feel anything, but she was really aggrieved.

Obviously, I have been in ancient times so many times before.

Xu is in the past, even in ancient times, she has not really fallen to the bottom of the society, the Song Dynasty was open, and she directly connected with the supreme ruler emperor, and she lived happily.

Later, when I came to the strange chat, as a man, the social system was also relaxed because of the many demons and monsters, and she didn't feel anything.

Moreover, at that time, she was an absolute powerhouse, with golden fingers, golden thighs, all kinds of plug-ins, and what she wanted.

Until now, I finally felt the discomfort of those crossing women.

"Hey!"

Sure enough, you still have to have a lot of power.

Fang Ruohua explained a few more words to the night aunt, and told her to carefully observe Mingyue's character.

If the character is not bad, it can be of great use.

The night aunt smiled: "Sixth grandmother rest assured." ”

Fang Ruohua nodded, and asked her little sisters to keep an eye on the disaster relief.

Prepare yourself to go to the shipyard to check the progress.

When the shipyard is built, there are ten, hundreds of huge ships, crisscrossing the sea and rivers, attacking and retreating, and defending, so that they can have a certain amount of self-protection, and what they want to do after that, we will talk about it later.

……

The jailers in the Yada Prison in Nan'ancheng County have not had a bad life recently, and they are full of oil and water.

The prison recently closed a vote, and the big man who stomped on the spot in Nan'an City.

Of course, these people are imprisoned, and they don't know what the future holds, but even so, a little triviality in the cracks of their fingers is enough for them to eat and drink spicy food for a while.

The jailers faced them and looked at the silver on their faces, and they also spoke kindly, and offered these people as half of the masters, but in the past two days, they have been very fake and respectful.

In the past two days, long rows of shacks have been erected on the pier, and the elderly, weak, women and children can eat two bowls of porridge a day for free.

Although the porridge is not good, most of it is inferior, and it is mixed with all kinds of grass roots and wild vegetables, but in the end it is relatively thick, not a clear soup with little water, it is a semi-dry grain, and you can survive when you drink it in your stomach.

There is only one bowl of free porridge for young and strong, but you can exchange labor for money or food, and you can get more for more work.

I heard that I was going to take a boat to an island to do heavy physical work, and I went every day at the end of the day, and I returned for the first time. Ship after ship, every day not only can eat dry rice, but also full, eat as much as you want, although the food is only some fish and shrimp, but the cooking is not bad, there is no smell of fishy smell.

Occasionally there are even two pieces of meat.

Not to mention those disaster victims, even the two boys of the cell boss also sneaked into the boat to work.

At first, people refused to ask for it because they were young, but later when they saw that they knew a few words, they turned a blind eye.

The head of the cell saw that the two little things were not hungry or thirsty, they were alive and full of energy, and they went with them, the so-called half-sized man ate Lao Tzu to death, and the two little debt collectors ate a little more than him, and now it is not bad to save a day's food.

Most of the food for the victims was brought back by the Xu family who spent their wealth to go to the ocean.

I heard that for these grains, the crew of the Xu family also fought with the barbarians on the Nanyang side, and many people were killed and wounded.

For this reason, I should be kind to the old men locked up inside.

What's more, the people of Nan'an City made a real Wanmin umbrella a few days ago, thanked the court for its rescue of the people, and wrote a letter to His Majesty.

Maybe Your Majesty will be happy, and you will open up to the Xu family, who is becoming more and more prestigious in Nan'an City.

The official lord above didn't seem to be very embarrassed by the Xu family.

Maybe when, the old men of the Xu family will be able to release it.

The old man of the county government, Lao Li, was thinking wildly, and when he looked up, he saw Qian Feng, dressed in a black official uniform, walking out of the direction of the cell.

Without saying a word, he bent over to lead the way.

Lao Li is a little afraid of this, so it stands to reason that the old man with a higher grade is more approachable.

At least the old man will not have this strong smell of blood, which makes people wash away even after ten hot baths.

Sun Lian'an stopped and threw Lao Li a penny: "The old lady of the Xu family is old, you give her more hot tea and hot water every day, don't let her eat cold food." ”

Lao Li hurriedly said a few words about the kindness of the old man, and promised: "Don't worry, master, the little ones will never dare to deliberately practice people." ”

Qian Feng didn't bother to pay attention to his temporary partner, and his kindness came out of nowhere.

When he was in prison just now, he saw that the old lady who was over sixty years old had a kind face, and she did not complain in prison, but cared about her children and grandchildren very much, and often comforted their emotions, so he was moved by compassion.

Presumably, in the fold that Sun Lian'an handed to His Majesty, he would definitely say a little good word about the Xu family without a trace.

The pen of these literati is very tight.

Qian Feng sneered, he could see that this Master Xu really didn't know what the king of Nan'an had done.

Even if it was a little implicated, it was just to get used by the prince.

But the Xu family is not innocent, and the money their family earns is definitely not clean.

But why should he be a bad guy?

The people who should be cut by a thousand knives more than the Xu family are still living a very nourishing life, and since the Xu family is willing to spend money to buy their lives, he will not deliberately make enemies.

Besides, others are just that, and the son-in-law of the Lu family is also towards the Xu family.

Don't look at Lu Zhong's status in the Lu family, he is not as high as the eldest son Lu Heng, but he is also a member of the Lu family.

Qian Feng only recognized His Majesty's orders, His Majesty valued his mother's family, he naturally wanted to be respectful to the Lu family, pursed the corners of his mouth, and paid attention to the Xu family for a moment.

After a while, Qian Feng put his mind back on the list of officials who were attached to the king of Nan'an.

As soon as Qian Feng and the others left, the cell boss naturally turned out two pots of medicinal wine, carried a food box, and sent it to the cell on the east side of the prison.

The cells were not dirty, they were cleaned, and although they were not high beds and soft pillows, they were also covered with soft thatched floors and some fluffy bedding.

The table was wiped clean and there was no bad smell.

The environment was a little bleak, but at least it was very different from the desperate prison of the past.

The cell boss handed the wine to Xu Dafu, who had lost at least two laps, and said something new outside with a smile as usual.

For example, the grain of the Xu family was transported, and the imperial court set up a porridge shed on the east side of the port to relieve the victims.

As for how to distribute relief food, we have to wait for the arrival of the new magistrate.

For another example, hundreds of thousands of disaster victims in Nan'an City gave His Majesty the Wanmin Umbrella and the Wanmin Book, which must have mentioned the merits of the Xu family.

"Uncle, you can rest assured, even I, a rough person, can see it, and it won't be long before your family can be released."

Xu Dafu was also in good spirits, and he was locked up for half a month, except for the first few days when he was worried and guilty, and after that, he was still up and down, and he was not desperate.

As soon as this person is in trouble, what he is most afraid of is not patience, he doesn't know what the news is, and his eyes are black.

His sixth brother and sister are well versed in people's hearts, and every once in a while, they will clearly write down how much effort they have made outside, how it is progressing, which step is smooth, which step is still waiting, and I don't know what the effect is, and I will clearly write it down and hand it to him.

It's not just good news and not bad news.

Xu Dafu looked at the various countermeasures of others, and even if he saw the difficulties inside, he couldn't help but feel that it was his six brothers and sisters who were fortunate to be in charge of these things outside.

If he were to change himself, how could he come up with so many tricks except for scavenging surplus money, desperately racing money for all parties, trusting relationships, and pleading for mercy?

But when it comes to raiding the family and exterminating the clan, how useful can it be to intercede? No matter how much he trusts the relationship, can he still trust it to the emperor's head?

The Xu family doesn't have a much-loved concubine, so they can't blow the pillow wind to the emperor?

It's better to be like the sixth brother and sister, who pat the dragon's fart, pretend to be pitiful, and show loyalty.

The Xu family is just a small person, and the emperor pays a little attention to it, so the people below will naturally figure out the holy will and let them go gently.

The old lady of the Xu family is in a better mental state than Xu Dafu.

She is an old man, and Qian Feng did not deliberately embarrass her.

The cell boss is also afraid of boiling people up, and it is difficult to explain, and then he will grudge with others.

Moreover, the daughters-in-law of the Xu family have all escaped, and now although they say that they are not the wives of the Xu family, they actually don't take the harmony seriously.

The women went their own way through their mother's relationship, and the dots were in place, even in prison, the Xu family did not suffer too much.

After another three days, the new magistrate of Nan'an City is about to take office, I heard that it was His Majesty who appointed him, and he was the son of the Emperor Taifu and the Qing Dynasty, Zuo Huai.

It is rumored that this person made a special trip to clean up the situation in Naman City at the behest of His Majesty.

Although this Nan'an City is a remote city, it has a port, the economy is not bad, and it is adjacent to the subject country, coupled with the rampant piracy, the court and the central government really can't ignore it, even the emperor has to ask.

More rain in the summer.

It rained for three to two and a half days in Nan'an City.

The South River does not flood, and this slimy environment is indeed very uncomfortable.

When the new county magistrate of Nan'an City entered the city gate, he took a donkey cart, and except for the twenty guards who only knew how to hurry, he only followed an old wife.

If he didn't pretend to be shabby, when he came out of the capital, he also had ten carriages, with two beautiful concubines, dozens of servants with dexterous hands and feet, and several beautiful maids.

As a result, he didn't leave the capital for ten miles, so he asked his father to chase those people back.

According to his father, he traveled all the way south, and he had his father's protégés to take care of him, plus some guards, and there was no problem in terms of safety.

Nan'an City is very chaotic, you should bring more guards, and the others are exempted, he went to do an errand for His Majesty, not to enjoy.

When he settles down, he wants to marry him a wife, so that he can live a good life.

Zuo Huai had no choice but to accept his fate, no way, he had a conflict with the nephew of the Xiangye's family in the court a while ago, and he couldn't stay in the capital.

The road was very difficult, and Nan'an City, with its good mountains and rivers, also seemed aggrieved in his eyes.

"Looks like we're going to have a hard time."

Zuo Huai sighed.

In fact, the son of the Taifu family is not a gentleman, the situation in Nan'an City is complicated now, and the emperor can entrust him with important tasks at this time, and he must be a talent to use.

He Zuo Huai was twenty-two years old and went to the middle school, a first-class Tanhualang, although he has his father's Yu Yin, he is not without talent, the Hanlin Academy for three years, the first time he was released, it was appointed by His Majesty, and in the second generation of those officials, it is considered that the starting point is not low.

However, in the end, it is a young son, his family background is prominent, Zuo Huai, like most sons, has a bit of a hobby, he is good at pomp, two good spirits, and three good beauties.

In the three years of the Hanlin Academy, this is a group of Hanlin sleeping flowers and drunken willows, eating and drinking spicy, and leaving a good name in countless literary meetings, and is a guest of many famous prostitutes in Qinglou.

At the beginning, he would have a conflict with the nephew of the grandfather, and it was also because of the beauty, both of them wanted to compete for the famous prostitute Hua Xiyue, well, it was not Zuo Huai who lost, but simply because he had not fought to the end, he asked his father to take back a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots.

Zuo Huai was also unlucky, the beauty didn't eat it, but suffered a miserable meal.

At this moment, looking at the mottled city walls of Nan'an City, and then at the turbid water of the moat, the scrawny victims and beggars, Zuo Huai pressed his eyebrows and collected his thoughts: "There are thousands of things, and the errand is not easy to do." ”

"Brother Zuo!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice shouted.

Zuo Huai looked up, and there was a look on his face that was indescribable.
