Approaching the end of the year, there are bustling scenes everywhere inside and outside the county.

If you have money or no money to go home for the New Year, the New Year is a bit indescribable for everyone. Weigh two catties of white flour and weigh a few taels of meat, wrap some dumplings on the 30th night, and the family get together to have a lively meal, which is an excellent New Year for the poor.

Ye Guishan had borrowed Yinzi money from Feng Maocai the year before, and his life had never been better, and when he was forced to sell his two daughters, he thought that the matter of Yinzi money was over.

But he didn't think that when the crops were harvested this autumn, he didn't even get the money to sell the grain, and he was forced to sell his son.

He has passed on the son for three generations, but he is his lifeblood, where can he be sold to be a subordinate.

He was also forced to be anxious this time, and it was better to fight if he couldn't survive anyway.

Ye Guishan walked on the way back to his hometown, his legs were floating. He suddenly thought that if this Quzhi County was in a nest with Feng Maocai's snakes and rats, even if it dragged on until the end of the year, he would probably still be forced to sell his son.

He was ruthless in his heart, if the magistrate didn't care about him, he would go to the provincial capital to sue!

There is a prince from the capital in Chang'an City, who in the northwest does not know the prestige of the king of Yu, and the prince who is so powerful in the march and war is not to let their people have a good life.

He believed that as long as he went to Chang'an City to complain, Feng Maocai and the others would definitely not get a good end.

Ye Guishan limped out of the county seat and walked anxiously to the village.

Qianshan took Da'an and followed Ye Guishan all the way to Hezi Village, they thought that this matter should be easy to handle, as long as the two of them identified themselves, they could take people away before dark.

As a result, Ye Guishan refused to listen to them, and kept suspecting that the two of them were not well-intentioned, and Qianshan only felt that his mouth was worn out and he couldn't move people.

Qu Qingyan waited in the backyard until the sun set, and only waited for Mama Wang.

"Young master, I rented a yard in the alley south of the city, and I found someone to clean it up simply, and now I can live in it when they bring people back from Qianshan."

Mama Wang has always been quick in her work, and she didn't forget to ask after explaining: "Young master, why haven't they come back from Qianshan?" If it's a little later, I'm afraid the gates will be closed. ”

"I'm afraid they won't be able to come back today, so go to the city gate early tomorrow morning to meet them."

Ye Guishan's face knew that he was a little sluggish and stubborn, once such a person was frightened by Feng Maocai like this, I am afraid that it would be difficult to trust people in a short period of time.

Qianshan and they were in a hurry, and they didn't bring any documents and tokens that could prove their identity, so Ye Guishan would definitely not bring someone into the city with them.

However, with Feng Maocai's temperament, I am afraid that he will do it tonight, and I don't know if it is the other people in Yeguishan Hezi Village who will follow him into the city.

After all, although the Spring Festival is important, small lives are even more important.

Qu Qingyan has a plan and will put away these idle things, this is the first Spring Festival she has spent abroad, it is said that if she wants to return to Beijing in the New Year, it is good to take leave from the same as above, but not to mention that she has only been in the northwest for a few months, and it is not appropriate to return to Beijing all the way.

Zhu Jinrui used the means to return to Beijing to deal with the matter of the government's private release of Yinzi money, and he would not be stable in Beijing, and the prince's suspicion of him deepened day by day, and he must not think that the northwest was too stable, and there was no need to guess whether the prince would get in the way.

There is no need for her to go back to such a capital, it is better for the four of them to spend a New Year in this small courtyard.

Since returning to the Qu family, the previous two New Year's have not been smooth, this is the first Spring Festival that she can be the master of the house alone, and of course she has to do it well.

Mama Wang didn't ask why Qianshan would come back tomorrow, and went out to Zhang Luo for the New Year.

This is also the first Spring Festival that Mama Wang can handle independently as a subordinate, although the things that can be handled in this northwest county are limited, and there are only four of them who need to prepare very limited, but she is also excited in her heart, and Zhang Luo is very attentive.

Qianshan and Da'an's situation in Hezi Village is not good, every family here is poor, and only the houses are about to collapse.

The two of them didn't think much of it before sunset, and it wasn't until after dark that they suddenly realized that they hadn't lived at night.

Ye Guishan was wary of them, and let them stay in the courtyard before, and directly drove the two of them out at night.

The winter night wind blew like knives on the two of them, and within a quarter of an hour they were already shivering.

"Da'an, did you bring any copper plates? We have to spend money to find a family to spend the night, or our brothers will freeze to death outside. Qianshan hugged his arms and shivered coldly.

Da'an has always been careful in his work, he and Qianshan are responsible for managing the money, Qianshan is responsible for bookkeeping, he not only has copper plates on his body at this time, but also broken silver and small silver ingots.

The two knocked on the door of Ye Guishan's house again, and Ye Guishan went out impatiently to catch up with people: "You two hurry up and go, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, and if you don't leave, don't blame me for being unkind." ”

"Uncle Ye, we want to discuss with you, you see it's too cold this night, our brother gives you ten copper plates for uncle, can you let us spend the night in the room again?"

Do you want to give him a copper plate instead of deducting money from him?

Ye Guishan looked at the two of them suspiciously, and after thinking for a long time, he reluctantly said: "Just one night, you will leave as soon as it dawns tomorrow, understand?" ”

Ten copper plates are enough for him to cut two catties of fat meat for his son to make up for it......

Qianshan and Da'an Daxi hurriedly entered the door, thinking that they could bake the fire to warm up, but found that the room was as cold as an ice hole, and there was no heat at all.

"Uncle Ye, don't you burn firewood at home for heating?"

"Firewood? A bundle of firewood can be exchanged for three copper plates in the town, and every household in Hezi Village goes to the mountains to collect firewood and send it to the town to sell in winter, who is willing to burn it! ”

Ye Guishan's eyes widened as he spoke, only to make the two of them roll their eyes helplessly.

"Uncle, do you still have firewood at home?"

"What are you going to do?" Ye Guishan glanced at them vigilantly, and he already wanted to turn his face and drive people out again.

Qianshan couldn't help but have a headache when he saw his posture: "Uncle, it's not what you think, these are three copper plates, you should sell the bundle of firewood to our two brothers, you burn the firewood, let's be warm." ”

Ye Guishan took the copper plate suspiciously, looked at it carefully with the help of the tung oil lamp, and then turned around and said, "Old woman, go burn firewood." ”

The northwest wind is strong, and it is especially difficult in winter, and they are also uncomfortable, but Feng Maocai is a vampire, where have they been willing to burn firewood in the past two years......
