Zhou Yue'e's second son Li Zizhai is studying in the county, and the husband and wife have great expectations for this son who is smart and willing to work hard.

"He shouldn't go," Zhou Weiji analyzed, "Zizhai, this kid is only eleven years old, and he is still too young, and where is Xiucai so good, why bother tossing back and forth, it will cost a lot of silver taels to come and go." ”

Lan Yi stirred up three points unreasonably, "Why can't you?" Didn't we Yu'er say that we were going to participate in the next scientific expedition......"

Zhou Wei twisted her little nose with great amusement, "Although they are all children, how many have you seen who can work as hard and be so smart as Yu'er?" ”

"Count yourself on the sight!" Lan Yi grinned, this is how it is to be a mother, her child is many times happier to be appreciated than to be appreciated.

Thinking of Li Zizhai, Lan Yi thought of Zhou Feiyun, the son of Zhou Weiwen, Zhou Weiji's lobby brother who was doing business in Dengzhou. Zhou Feiyun is the same age as Lan Yi, and he reads well, and he was present last time when Lan Yi was the seventh cousin Zhou Weijiang, who taught him a lesson and looked down on women, although he felt that the second aunt was aggressive and did not save face for the little cousin, but he admired Lan Yi's knowledge very much. Taking advantage of the two days in his hometown, he brought books to the door three times to humbly ask his second aunt for learning, and Lan Yi also taught him.

Lan Yi's point of view is unique and her vision is quite broad, and Zhou Feiyun has benefited a lot, and praised the second aunt in front of the old man and father of the Zhou family several times. I love this eldest grandson Zhou very much, and for this reason, I also look at this second grandson's daughter-in-law who entered the door as a widow.

"Feiyun, the eldest brother's family, is sixteen years old, and he will definitely go this time. This kid should be fine. After Lan Yi finished speaking, she naturally mentioned Zhou Weijiang, who never came to her door later, "The seventh brother will definitely go too." But it's hard to say if he can win......"

Lan Yi taught Zhou Weijiang a lesson, and saw a lot of people, Zhou Weijiang felt that he had lost face, and he was furious when he went home. His father was silent on Thursday, and his mother, Zhang, ran to Lan Yi and said something. Because he was afraid of Zhou Weiji's mixed temper and Lan Yi's slap, the Zhang family didn't dare to spill, but he also put up enough of the elders and said, and Lan Yi could only listen. As a result, there was much less contact between the two families. Zhang's daughter Zhou Yuelian was scolded by her mother several times when she wanted to play at Lan Yi's house.

Zhou Weiji naturally didn't like the fourth aunt's leftists and the seventh brother's sourness, and didn't want to mention him, so he only answered and asked Lan Yi about Jia's arrangements to visit relatives in Mei County.

"It's fine. Aunt Yao's coming day is not short, and she should go back and take a look. Zhou Weiji nodded, for these miscellaneous matters, Lan Yi made a decision, he would never object.

Lan Yi thought for a moment. Said seriously. "Wei Ji, I plan to take advantage of this time to enter the city and go to the yamen to help Aunt Yao get rid of her slave status, what do you think?"

After all, coming from a different time and space, Lan Yi still has a hard time accepting the loss of freedom from being sold into slavery. In addition, she became Wang Chuntao after crossing over, and saw Chuntao's parents as slaves in the Wang family in Meixian County, and saw Chuntao's brother Wang Chunrong's desire for freedom. It made her feel a lot of emotion.

As mentioned earlier, not all minions who sign a deed of sale are forced or want to redeem themselves. Lan Yi also realized that the slaves of many large families lived a much more stable life than the poor landless farmers.

Although Huang County is remote. But on the edge of the county town, she has seen several ragged and skinny homeless people, either poor people who have been forced to leave the countryside because of the great drought and no harvest, or border residents who have lost their homes due to the war. These people are fleeing the famine or fleeing for refuge all their lives, just to be alive. The young and strong can still work and eat, and the old and weak women and children mostly die on the road.

Lan Yi heard Zhou Weiji mention that the homeless people are pitiful but also terrible, and the men among them will occupy the mountains and forests and become bandits when they are forced to become bandits, and they will make a living by robbing people who pass by. Of course, these are poor people, and those who have rich families can move and take refuge elsewhere.

Of course, in such a social context, being able to sell themselves into slavery and enter a large family without worrying about food and clothing is a good choice for some people who just want food and clothing, although correspondingly they will lose a lot of their own choices. But for these people who have been struggling on the poverty line, how can they have a choice?!

If the area affected by the disaster is large, there will also be a large number of displaced people, and these people will act together in several villages, support each other, and go to areas where they can earn a living in a planned way.

But their current situation is different, Lan Yi now has the ability to make a living, she has a lot of resources in her hands, and the people around her are inspired by her efforts, and the idea of seeking her own new life has begun to sprout, Wang Chunrong is like this.

Jia has superb medical skills, and it should be no problem to make a living by herself, Lan Yi watched her become more and more cheerful, and now she gradually has her own ideas. Under such circumstances, Lan Yi felt that it was a good time for her to regain her free body.

Zhou Weiji was able to agree to Jia Shi coming back with Lan Yi at that time, because she was proficient in medicine and good at taking care of pregnant women. In the past few days, Zhou Weiji has had a lot of direct and indirect contact with her, and his impression of her is also good. Coupled with her understanding of her daughter-in-law, it is not surprising that she can have such a decision.

"Why did you choose these days to get rid of her citizenship?" Zhou Weiji saw that Lan Yi was interested in chatting, so he asked.

Lan Yi combed her long hair with her fingers, "There's no special reason, it's just that I feel that after getting along, I know each other's temperament, and after becoming a family, I don't want to be awkward because of my identity." ”

Zhou Weiji thought for a while and replied, "I see that she doesn't feel awkward because she is a slave. ”

Lan Yi secretly sighed that this guy didn't care about other women's affairs except for her wife, but this also made her happy.

"Aunt Yao is in our family, we never treat her as a human being, and treat her like an elder. And even the second uncle's family never said that she was sold into slavery and the deed of sale was still in my hands, only that she was my aunt, because her husband died and she had no children, so she came back to help us take care of the children. The people in the village associate with her on the premise that she is our relative, so they don't feel awkward. Lan Yi analyzed for him, "In addition, Aunt Yao's temperament, medical skills, and appearance are not to be picked, so there is today's situation." ”

Zhou Weiji nodded, it was true, "Then why did you choose to enter the city tomorrow?" If you want to know if Shang Ji has a boat to go to Meixian, you can also ask Lin Xi or Lin Yuan tomorrow, otherwise it will not be a trip in vain. Or are you planning to get rid of her citizenship tomorrow? If you give me the deed of sale, I'll just take it back and get it back. ”

Lan Yi shook her head, "It's not for this matter this time, the main thing is that Aunt Yao's master is going to celebrate her birthday, I plan to go to the store and choose a few gifts to send over, Mrs. Zhou's and Sheng's mother's have all chosen, by the way, let's ask if there is a boat to Meixian in the past two days, so that Aunt Yao can take care of them all the way." ”

"It's fine." Zhou Weiji responded, "You go around, it's safer for me to go with you." ”

"I've been to the county so many times, what's not safe!" Once it comes to his own affairs, he is always cautious and afraid that something will happen to him, Lan Yi couldn't help but say unconvinced, "Besides, I'm not without the ability to protect myself, I'm amazing!" ”

Seeing her puffed out face and unconvinced appearance, Zhou Wei smiled bitterly. A scene flashed in his mind, she was indeed very powerful, but for some reason, in his eyes, he always felt that she was still a child, even if he knew that she was from a different time and space, in her words, "the mental age is the same as his own", but even then he was not at ease.

Because in Zhou Weiji's opinion, Lan Yi is too simple. Although she is delicate and talented in business, she is very confused in other aspects. She always said that it was indispensable to guard against people, but her own way of acting was that she always thought that there were good people in the world, and she looked like she was pure and deceitful, how could this not worry him.

This is the gain and loss, if you say it, you will definitely be laughed at by her, Zhou Weiji changed the topic and said, "You should discuss the matter of leaving the nationality with Aunt Yao in advance to see what she thinks." ”

"Hmm." Lan Yi nodded, Zhou Weiji was right, after all, she was not Jia, in her opinion, it was a good thing to get rid of Jia's slavery, and she didn't know what Jia's thought. (To be continued.) )
