"Your news is outdated, it is the men of the Wang family who wash their faces with human milk, and the women who bathe with milk.

The women of the royal family, young and old, were all put into the military camp as prostitutes.

It's a pity that we are not blessed, and this time it is all cheap for the soldiers at the border gates.

Hahaha, if I knew this, I should have gone to serve in the border army.

Perhaps, you can also taste the taste of those Miss or Mrs. Wang Jiayan, even Yahuan is more tender than the yellow-faced woman at home.

I heard that those subordinates are all beautiful.

Especially the third lady of the Wang family, she is incredibly beautiful, dancing in the garden, can attract butterflies and bees, it must be a fragrant beauty!

Tsk, my distant beauty! ”

The two lewd men thought about beautiful things all the way, and the little five and three people who followed behind listened to it with great joy.

"Fifth brother, let's avenge our brothers!" He Qi choked up.

"Revenge is avenged, but we also lost our errands, and now the harvest is not good, and the next days will definitely be difficult.

Let's go home and have a look! Xiao Wu looked at the two people who walked away, and a sense of confusion rose in his heart.

The three penniless, not to mention being spared from prison, each got a set of new cotton clothes from the people of Futai, and the three of them were already grateful.

The three of them thought that the people of Futai were Qing officials who thought about the people, and they wanted to publicize it after they went back.

The Wang family has fallen, and the three people who ran on the street in the rain have no scruples.

Shops on both sides of the street have opened one after another, but they are still deserted and unattended.

The grain shop with a new signboard reads on the small wooden board hanging at the door.

Japonica rice is 50 wen a liter, sorghum rice is 30 wen a liter, and wheat bran is 8 wen a liter.

In front of each of the newly opened grain shops, there was a long line, and the vigilant gaze of two soldiers with knives swept over each of them.

When I met someone familiar and said hello, I just nodded and passed by.

…

The once lively Wang family mansion has been replaced with a new plaque at the door.

May House.

The people who came in and out were busy carrying the cages on the carriage, and they were all happy.

A sixty-year-old man in good spirits took the oil-paper umbrella from his subordinates when he got out of the carriage.

The sixty-year-old man held an oil-paper umbrella, looked at the word Meifu on the plaque, and sighed lowly.

"Cang'er, my father has been high all his life, and I raised you so that I don't know how to be flexible, so I suffered this disaster.

As a father, you have nowhere to go, and a pair of children are missing.

Your enemy is dead, and your father will do his best to find a pair of children for you, and bring them to their ancestors.

Since then, the Mei family has hung the pot high, and it is no longer beneficial to the people.

He who gives birth to me lives, and he who dies dies! ”

The two adult men who got out of the carriage supported an old woman with silver hair, and their faces looked sickly and getting older.

When the old woman heard the old man's words, tears rolled down her eyes, and her chest ached.

"Cang'er, why are you willing to leave it as your mother, my son!"

"Mother, the third brother and the third brother and sister-in-law are no longer here, you have to take care of your health.

The two nephews and nieces have not been recovered, so they must not fall ill, and the two children still rely on you to teach. Mezzie persuaded with red eyes.

"Mother, it hurts here! That's the meat that fell from my mother's body!

I didn't even see the last sight, and the two children didn't have any news, why didn't they go back to Qingyang Mansion to find us.

My mother looks forward to it every day, but she doesn't look forward to anyone coming back, the two children are still so young, where can they go! ”

When Mei Miao thought of her little grandson, whom she had never met, her tears began to fall again.

"Jiren has their own Tianxiang, the two children will be fine, they must be waiting for us somewhere." Mei Xuan turned her head and wiped her face.

"Yes, it will be waiting for us!" Mei Miao clasped his hands together.

The Mei family, who got off the carriage, stood in the rain with oil-paper umbrellas by servants, about 20 people, large and small, listening to the conversation of several people with different expressions.

The second lady, Mei Yan's eyelids drooped slightly, her expression was indifferent, and she had no interest in the nephew and niece whose whereabouts were unknown.

The family can live the current life, but it is all thanks to her daughter.

After moving to a new house, she is the wife in charge of the Mei family, and this time she is bound to fight.

Because of their in-laws, the Mei family easily won the Wang family's mansion that was seized by the government, and although it was not a big family in Jiangfu, it finally had a place.

Mei Yongde, who is known as 'Mei Yipin', because the most proud third son died in a frame-up, and the whereabouts of a pair of grandboys and granddaughters are unknown.

Disheartened, the seal needle has no longer rescued people.

Meijia Pharmacy no longer sits for consultation and medical treatment, but changes to the medicinal herb business, and Jimin Pharmacy has since changed its name to Sifang Pharmacy.

In the name of purchasing medicinal materials, Mei Hang, the eldest of the faction, inquired about the whereabouts of the two children.

…

In Jiangfu, because of the intervention of the people of Futai, grain prices were controlled, and there was no more grain grabbing.

In this rainy winter, many people have to do odd jobs, dig wild vegetables, and go down to the river to catch fish and shrimp in order to make ends meet.

can barely wrap up their stomachs, and the family will not starve to death.

When the first snow falls, the crops in the fields are hopeless, and the farmers can only hope that they will replant the next spring.

People with a sense of urgency tighten their belts, go out early and return late to find food, and fill the gap in food.

Two crops were lost in a row, and many people were miserable.

The business of the tooth shop is unprecedentedly prosperous, and the number of people who sell their sons and daughters and sell themselves is increasing day by day.

There are not a few people who sell land and houses, and the price is pressed again and again.

In the rich Jiangfu Plain, when the wind and rain are good, one acre of fertile land can be sold for twenty taels of silver per acre.

But now, it is only fifteen taels and one acres, and it has to be picked three or four.

The fields that are not formed are not looked down upon by the rich and noble, and the ones who buy them are generally those with a little assets, and the cheaper the better.

…

Fangjia Village.

The four sons of the Fang family, and the two daughters who came to borrow grain, all gathered in the Fang family hall.

Old man Fang smoked his hookah silently, and his old face was so wrinkled that he could trap mosquitoes.

Lao Fang's kept wiping his tears, and his three daughters-in-law also had red circles under their eyes, wiping their eyes from time to time.

"Dad, give me a word when you pour! If he doesn't take the money and food back, Xianggong will be so hungry that he won't have the strength to read. Fang Shuiyao saw that the family was silent, and was the first to say a word with her foot stamped.

"Reading, when is it, I can't even support myself and still read.

Over the years, he Liu Tongcai has taken money and grain from the Fang family in the name of taking the test Xiucai.

It is equivalent to the Fang family supporting him with all their might, and now what face does he have to ask for money and food.

Fang Shuiyao, let's settle the score, how much silver you have taken in the past five years, not to mention the grain for the time being.

On the second day of the monthly salary, you will come on time to get the money.

You have to take one tael of two taels, and you come to ask your mother for some in the middle.

At the end of a month, most of Xiao Wu's salary goes into your pocket.

Every time he comes back, he'll give you some more, don't think I don't know.

The silver money spent on him Liu Tongcai has been at least one hundred taels over the years. ”

The old man Fang, who was smoking a cigarette, slammed the cigarette pouch on the table with a snap and scolded him.
