"Tian Laosan?!"

This was indeed unexpected by Xue An, this Tian Laosan was lucky to survive in the mouth of the scar-faced giant wolf, not to mention, he actually dared to come to the door of Xue's mansion to ask for a kiss?!

The rules handed down by the Bloody Rain Disaster for 600 years, the grievances outside the city gate will be settled when they enter the city gate, but Tian Laosan will never be naïve to think that Xue An will forget about his hijacking like this. What is the purpose of Tian Laosan'www.biquge.info s visit this time, Xue An couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't help but be vigilant.

"Don't wash up, take me to Granny Hua first. ”

Xue's mansion was very large, and Mingyue took Xue An through two or three courtyards before arriving at the main hall, where Granny Hua was already sitting waiting for Xue An.

He bowed down and made a junior salute first.

Before Xiaopang entered the Xue Mansion, she had instructed Xue An, and Granny Hua valued etiquette the most, she thought that this was the last gap between the nobles and the poor after the collapse of etiquette and music in the past six hundred years, and as the master of Xue Mansion, she could not be unruly. Granny Hua has worked hard for Xue Mansion all her life and deserves Xue An's junior ceremony.

Granny Hua nodded with satisfaction and smiled kindly.

"Granny Hua, is there a person named Tian Laosan from outside the mansion who has come to propose to Sister Juanrong?" Xue An asked.

"Yes, as soon as that person made a move, he gave three hundred pieces of blood jade as a dowry, and it was a blessing for Juanrong to marry him. I think this family business is feasible, so I asked Mingyue to call the little young master to come over. I wanted you to rest for two more days, but this kind of thing requires the head of the family to nod after all. Granny Hua seemed to be in a good mood when she talked about this, and in her opinion, this was a rare good thing.

"If I can call the shots, then I don't agree. Xue An directly expressed his thoughts.

Hearing Xue An say so resolutely, not only did Granny Hua have questions, but the cousins and cousins standing around secretly looked at Xue An.

"Why, the little young master is a little reluctant?" Speaking of this, Granny Hua's cloudy eyes lit up, and she was even happier than when she talked about the three hundred blood jades just now.

Although Chubby is a little immature and ignorant of the world, his body is really nineteen years old, if it weren't for Chubby's desperate refusal to marry in the past few years, he would have gotten married and had children. In the eyes of Granny Hua, the little young master quickly had a favorite object, and he was willing to continue the incense for the Xue family, which was a first-class event.

As a noble family with a single tradition of single lineage, each generation of heads of the family is allowed to go out to the city gate to venture out of the city gate before leaving heirs in the family before they become adults.

The group of cousins and cousins who were not related by blood who were eavesdropping on the side also pricked up their ears, although they didn't say it, but none of these poor girls who were fostered in the Xue family didn't want to be the head mother of the Xue family, if the little young master said that it was interesting to Juanrong now, then everything would be over.

After the disaster of blood rain, this distorted production system of risking their lives to support their families made most of the male young people in Drifting Snow City die in the mouths of fierce beasts, plus most women did not dare to go to the wasteland to pick up blood jade, so there was no productivity, so women almost completely became men's accessories, and their social status was very low, and the atmosphere of polygamy was naturally born, and how many wives a man had was only based on how much blood jade he could pick up.

The Xue family is different, as a well-known good family among the ancient nobles, the Xue family did not treat the girls fostered by the poor as servants like most nobles, but gave them the name of distant relatives, so that they could be called cousins and cousins with the main family, preserving the dignity of these poor women who were attached to the Xue Mansion.

Moreover, the Xue family, as one of the few remaining families that followed the old system in the era of the collapse of etiquette, still pursued a monogamous system, and being the head mother of the Xue family meant that as long as the Xue family did not fall, it would be a happy life. And once this generation of family heads already has wives, then the Xue Mansion will also consider marrying off these cousins and cousins who are fostered in the Xue family.

It's not that the Xue family is cruel, it's just that the Xue family has been passed down through the generations, and the source of the blood jade in the family is only supported by the head of the family, and the generations with the most outstanding abilities can only support a few hundred people. If these adult foster cousins and cousins in the Xue family do not marry, the Xue family will not be able to adopt those poor girls who may starve to death on the side of the road. In the end, there are only a few people left in each generation, just like Granny Hua, who runs the affairs of the Xue Mansion for a lifetime.

Although these women who have been fostered in Xue Mansion since they were children are not pampered, they are quite good compared to the increasingly harsh environment of Drifting Snow City. When these women who are still living in the Xue Mansion listen to the women who return to visit the Xue Mansion after getting married, they will say how difficult life outside the Xue Mansion is, and how the husband they married is rude and incapable, and they can only barely survive by going to the Four Seasons Garden to do heavy physical work every day.

Therefore, among the more than 100 women who are now fostered in Xue Mansion, the vast majority of them have their eyes on the position of the main mother, as if they are staring at the only remaining boat that can protect themselves on the turbulent sea.

Xue An didn't know these secrets of the Xue Mansion yet, but he felt that the eyes of those cousins and cousins were a little piercing, as if his early love was discovered by the teacher in high school, so he was so flustered that he hurriedly waved his hand:

"No, it has nothing to do with Sister Juanrong. It's just that I know the third Tian, not a good person, or to put it more seriously, he is a scumbag! Sister Juanrong will never have a good life if she marries him. Although he didn't know that Juanrong, Xue An felt that he should never send a girl into the arms of that kind of person, this was definitely a sinful thing.

Granny Hua doesn't think so:

"Little master, you grew up in Xue Mansion since you were a child, and your father sheltered you from the wind and rain, I don't know how hard this world is. What about the good people, what about the scum, at least they are still alive, and those who have no food to eat are dead.

He used three hundred blood jade to marry Juanrong home, at least there would be no shortage of Juanrong to eat, which was already better than many women in the Xue Mansion who married out. Granny Hua's tone was vicissitudes, and when she spoke, she recalled all kinds of things she had seen in Xue Mansion for decades, and after all, there was more sorrow and less fulfillment.

She has also been fostered in Xue Mansion since she was a child, and she has been a nominal "distant relative" of Xue Mansion, although she has suffered a little, but she is much luckier than her brothers and sisters in the original family. All but one of her four brothers died of starvation, and the remaining three were eaten by ferocious beasts. The two sisters also had a bad fate, starving, their husbands died, they remarried with their children, and they were adrift all their lives with unspeakable misery. In her opinion, being able to marry a capable man like Tian Laosan is already considered lucky.

Xue An's face was solemn, recalling Tian Laosan's words and deeds before, although he didn't want to disobey Granny Hua, he couldn't do it. Committing a delicate woman to that kind of beast for the sake of a bite of food may be a unique survival rule in this near-apocalyptic world, but Xue An will never accept it.

"That's not going to work! That Tian Laosan is very cruel to his own brothers, and he once wanted to kidnap me to ask for ransom from you, talking about women is very contemptuous and evil, he is really a bastard person, and he will never be a good husband!" Although Xue An said to Xiaopang just now that he would never take on the responsibility of supporting Xue Mansion for him, but now that his blood is rushing, he has also changed his words:

"Sister Juanrong must not marry that scumbag, I believe that in addition to the third child of Natian in this Drifting Snow City, there are definitely good people who are worthy of entrustment! Sister Juanrong is still young, she can wait, and the Xue family can also wait! It's just that I can eat in Xue's mansion for two more days, and I can support her!"

Granny Hua was very happy to see Xue An so young and spirited, and she saw the integrity of several generations of the Xue family from Xue An. But as the big housekeeper who has been in charge of the Xue Mansion for decades, she still has to think about it from the actual situation and persuade Xue Anduo:

"Little Master, I know that one day you will be able to carry the burden of the entire Xue Mansion, but not now. Your soul has gone wrong, and you can't cultivate the soul bone in a short period of time, but you don't have the ability to go out of the city to seek blood jade again. The little young master of this expedition returned safely, and he was already blessed by the ancestors of the Xue family, and he would never dare to let you out of the city again before you had some life-saving means.

Although the little young master brought back three hundred blood jades, but after returning the part that your father owed to other families over the years, there is not much left, and there are more than 100 people in the family waiting for dinner, I am afraid that it will be difficult to maintain it for too long.

We are born in the last days after this bloody disaster, and we are destined to suffer, and it is nothing to suffer some grievances from our husbands. Do you know how many people will starve to death in Drifting Snow City when there is not enough blood jade and the tide of fierce beasts rises, and no one dares to go out? I have seen the guards pull the starved bones and throw them down from the city wall, and those scavenging beasts wait under the city wall, and finally the gnawed bones are stacked up almost half the height of the city wall.

Your grandfather told me when he was young that he had read in his books that six hundred years ago Drifting Snow was the most beautiful city in the north of the empire because of its majestic snow-white walls. Have you ever wondered why today's city walls are full of red?

Because the blood that has been bitten by a fierce beast will not turn black. ”
