It was Gong Xu, so he sat in silence in the corner and drank water, as if it was none of his business.

Gongsun Chan sighed in his heart, Gong Xu, the true colors of a man, when will General Ben see you pretending!

Gongsun Zhan glanced at Xu Da with hatred and disappointment, but he still held on to the posture of watching the fun and said goodbye to Xu Da.

"Duke Xu, from now on, my wife and concubine will sit in my arms, don't miss important business because of this."

After saying this, he nodded at the Wang family again, looking like you would take care of it a lot, and then left.

Mrs. Gan had already received the news and knew that her husband Zhao Bei had returned to the village, so she stood outside the courtyard of the Xu family and waited.

Seeing Gongsun Chan walk out, he was busy with a blessing.

Gongsun Chan was in a good mood at this time, glanced back at Zhao Bei, signaled that he could go to meet his wife, and led the guards to go first.

Zhao Bei thanked him, and watched Gongsun Zan walk down the hill, then turned around and walked towards Mrs. Gan with a smile:

"Why is Madame here? What about Adou? Recently, I have been busy with official business and can't come back, so it's no wonder that Madame. ”

Mrs. Gan watched the two young girls walk into the Xu family with her own eyes, and now that she saw that Gongsun Zan had left, the two of them did not come out, and she already knew it in her heart.

Facing Zhao Bei's inquiry, he suddenly asked in a low voice angrily: "Master, what does the general want to do like this?" Madame is such a good person, how can the general humiliate her so much? ”

Mrs. Gan's reaction was completely unexpected by Zhao Bei, and he thought that Mrs. had not missed him too much for too long, so he deliberately went to the door of the Xu family's mansion to wait to see him.

Now when I heard Mrs. Gan's words, I was stunned for a moment before explaining: "This is what the general meant, the general insists on this, how can I wait for my subordinates to say so much?" ”

"Besides, how can this humiliate Madame? Duke Xu is powerful, and the general rewards him with two beauties, isn't this a good thing? It proves that the general values Xu Gong. ”

After that, I reacted, and I never brought my official duties home to discuss with Mrs. Gan, but I actually told her about these foreign mansions.

Zhao Bei suddenly looked at Mrs. Gan curiously, wondering if she could understand what she was saying.

But seeing her eyes burning at herself, she asked clearly: "Is this really a good thing?" ”

I'm afraid it's a great thing for you, sir! Mrs. Gan added in her heart.

As soon as this thought passed, she herself was shocked.

Looking at Zhao Bei's surprised appearance again, he suddenly realized that he was really bold today, so he hurriedly lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice:

"Is the master busy leaving? If you're not busy, go see Adou, the little guy has been three months, and now is the time to have fun. ”

Zhao Bei swallowed his surprise, nodded, and followed Mrs. Gan to the hotel where he lived to see his son Zhao Adou.

On the way, he found that Mrs. Gan was holding a book in her arms, and when she saw him looking at him, she looked up at him and smiled shyly, and with a little embarrassment, she hid the book behind her.

Zhao Bei didn't ask about his wife's daily habits, because the affairs of these women in the house were nothing more than the shortcomings of the family, and it was not worth taking up his precious time.

Seeing this, Zhao Bei only suppressed his curiosity and secretly observed.

Barefoot Doctor's Handbook Key Notepad...... It should be these words, although it seems that these words are missing arms and legs, but they are not difficult to recognize.

Mrs. literacy or he personally taught, the notes on the book are indeed Mrs. handwritten handwriting, Xu is too long not to use the pen, can not remember the stroke, only to make mistakes.

But even so, it was enough to make Zhao Bei sleep badly.

Looking at Mrs. Gan, who was walking a step behind her, she was still wearing the curly dress she had when she came, but this dress seemed to be unable to contain her striding away, wanting to move forward.

A strong sense of crisis rose in Zhao Bei's heart for no reason.

This sense of crisis does not come from Mrs. Gan, but from the mother and daughter of Xujiazhuang, who brought about these changes.

Especially the leading Mrs. Wang, the strong woman named Wang Pingping.

......

In the courtyard of the Xu family.

Chun Niang and Qiu Niang stood outside the pavilion nervously, facing the gaze of the three brothers and sisters of Xu Yue, not knowing how things could have evolved like this.

"High in the Sky"

The two of them obviously came to the Xu family to be aunts, so they should follow Lord Xu, why did Lord Xu and Mrs. Xu send the two of them to the three brothers and sisters?

Do you want to let the young masters and ladies of the house meet the future aunt first?

Looking at Xu Dalang, who was the same age as herself, tall, handsome, and cold-colored, Chun Niang and Qiu Niang curled up their toes in embarrassment, and they were uncomfortable.

"Xu Dalang, you scared people." The second lady of the Xu family snorted lightly: "Daddy and Auntie's call is me and the young lady, it has nothing to do with you, you just come along, can you stand aside and be an invisible person?" ”

Chunniang and Qiuniang immediately felt that the young man's terrifying gaze had receded, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and their favorability towards Xu Erniang, who saved the two of them and water and fire, rose.

"Get out of the way!" Xu Erniang pulled Xu Dalang away, and beckoned Xu Yue, who was afraid that she would fight with Xu Dalang, to come to the eldest sister.

Xu Erniang poked Xu Yue and motioned for her to speak first.

Xu Yue cleared her throat and said to the two people in front of her: "Two sisters, my father is already a handful of years, and my aunt doesn't want your good years to be buried like this, so let the two of you go free, and I don't need you to be concubines in my house." ”

What?!

Chun Niang and Qiu Niang raised their heads in surprise, looked at the articulate little girl in front of them, and wanted her to repeat it.

Chunniang was bold, and stammered and reminded: "I, we were sent by the general, this ......"

Xu Yue nodded, "We know, but didn't he already hand you over to my aunt?" So you are now the people of our Xujiazhuang. ”

Xu Yue moved the small blackboard that had been prepared earlier out of the pavilion, shook off the folding stick that Uncle Dayou had helped make, and pointed to the words on the blackboard and read:

"Xujiazhuang rule one, no laborers are allowed to eat; Rule 2: A woman over 16 is not allowed to marry, and a man is not allowed to marry a man over 18; Rule 3: Follow monogamy, men are not allowed to take concubines, and women are not allowed to marry two men at the same time......"

There are also rules four and five, which are already like books from heaven in the ears of Chunniang and Qiuniang.

But they remembered the last sentence - those who violated the rules of the Xu family would be punished at least by sending them to the mine as coolies, or beheaded on the spot to show the public!

It's simply a way to live!

Chunniang and Qiuniang knelt down, crying with tears on their faces and asking the Xu family to spare their lives, they could be slaves and maids in the Xu family, just begging not to let them go out to work.

Isn't it to ruin their reputations and make them die if they let the two of them go out and show their faces to work with the men?

They were not allowed to wear skirts, and they were asked to wear inferior trousers, exposing the woman's most secret legs in front of people, so humiliating, the two wanted to pull the long silk and hang it on the beam of the house just thinking about it.

Xu Yue and Xu Erniang glanced at each other, but they embarrassed the two of them.

Is this going to be fatal?

However, thinking of the growth environment of the two, the sisters couldn't help but shake their heads helplessly and sighed.

It seems that it is much more difficult to change these pampered women than it is to change ordinary peasant women.

In order to make a living for the family, they not only have to take their children to raise silkworms and weave cloth at home, but also go to the fields to do farm work.

The need to survive makes them completely indifferent to these rituals of showing their arms and legs.

But Chun Niang and Qiu Niang are different, from the very beginning, they have been cultivated by their families or mothers-in-law in a gentle and virtuous direction that caters to male aesthetics, and most of them don't have to worry about survival.
