"Does sixteen have to be married?" Her little face wrinkled.

"If a woman doesn't marry sixteen in Yeguo, or a man doesn't marry, she has to pay heavy taxes to the state, and it is getting higher and higher every year, and if she can't pay it, she will have to be dragged to prison."

"There is a family in our village whose eldest daughter has black spots all over her face, and no one has married her for a few years, and their family is also from a large family in the village, paying taxes and paying to sell houses, grain and fields, and now they are so poor that they can only eat chaff, your family ...... Can you afford it? ”

Zheng Quqi: "......"

Can't afford it.

Even the big ones are bankrupt, not to mention his small family.

Dare to be a single dog in Ye country, it's a crime?

"Men should get married, women should get married, who doesn't want their wives and children to be hot on the kang, Brother Sang, you are still young, and when you are older, you will miss your mother-in-law, hahahaha......"

Oh, she won't miss her mother-in-law, even if she is old, she will only be hungry for men.

However, I can't imagine that Ye Guo still has such a deadly rule, so isn't she a man or a woman, and in the end she can't escape the fate of being forced to marry?

The grim situation is approaching again.

Behave...... It's hard.

It's even more difficult to be a person who is neither male nor female and cannot get married.

——

Worried, after drinking too much for a while, she had a hangover and headache the next day, but she never expected that something that would make her have more headaches was coming.

At noon, a scribe in Tsing Yi came to knock on the door, Brother Sang was cooking in the kitchen, Sister Sang was watering the flower bed, Zheng Quqi rubbed his temples to open the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

When the Tsing Yi scribe first saw Zheng Quqi, he was stunned for a moment.

I've never seen someone so surprisingly dark, especially when the other party is surprisingly short, like a ...... Briquette-like.

Cough.

"Oh, I'm Xiangzuo, this time I'm here to register a school-age woman, Zheng Quqi, I'm sixteen years old this year, I'm from your family."

As he spoke, he looked behind her, but when he saw the Sang Mansion, his eyes widened.

This house...... It's so chic.

What kind of green tile is on top of that?

How can the walls be so smooth and so white?

The erected platform, which is connected to the townhouses of the main house, the structure is scattered and meandering, the combination of simplicity and complexity, the golden afterglow shining on it, the feeling of tranquility and remoteness, makes him feel as if he has come to another country.

And after Zheng Quqi heard his words, she was stunned for a moment, and she suddenly looked back at Brother Sang who was walking over.

He wasn't surprised.

"It's our family, let's register, she goes out to visit relatives, and she will be back in two days."

Who?

Who went to visit relatives?

"Brother!"

"That's right." Xiang Zuo replied absentmindedly, and his eyes seemed to be glued to the mulberry house and couldn't be pulled out: "After three days, the family delivery team will come to pick up people, and if you are absent or miss the illness, you will go to the county government to pay the unmarried tax money by yourself." ”

Brother Sang nodded: "We know." ”

The registration of the registration is over, and the explanation is also finished, but Xiangzuo still seems to be a little reluctant to go, and in the end, Zheng Quqi, who has lost patience, pushes out the door with a polite hand, and then "snaps" to close the hospital.

She turned her head and asked Brother Sang with angry eyes: "Why does our family have Zheng Quqi's household registration?" ”

Brother Sang told her calmly.

In the early years, my father and mother spent a lot of money to register her as a man and a woman in Fu County, the male is Sang Xuanqing, the craftsman is registered, and the female is Zheng Quqi, who is the adopted daughter of the Sang family, and visits relatives outside all the year round.

Zheng Quqi: "?!" ”

How else can it be done?

And what the hell is that perennial family visit?

Brother Sang said that it was just a rhetoric to the outside world, and their family was not a relative of the emperor, so who would care about picking on something inconsequential.

"It was just a helpless move to let you dress as a man, you have always been a woman, if you want to restore your daughter's body, do you really want to be a man for the rest of your life, and live that kind of fearful life, you will be arrested and sent to labor at any time?"

That's not the problem.

She didn't know where to start for a while, so she only asked: "Brother, if I get married, what will Sang Xuanqing do?" ”

"Naturally, this identity will disappear."

Disappear?

She lowered her eyes.

She dared to pack the ticket, if Sang Xuanqing suddenly disappeared at this time, she was afraid that the matter would be big, and the people of the Sang family would be arrested and tortured, and Sang Xuanqing's whereabouts would be forced to be asked.

Especially on the Mo family's side, Zheng Quqi's identity has long been exposed, but she guesses that the other party should not know that "Zheng Quqi" is a woman's secret.

But these complicated and troublesome things, she can't talk to Brother Sang, he doesn't realize the seriousness of the situation.

She could only use other words to dispel his idea of forcing marriage: "But there is no man who makes money outside, what should we do in this family?" ”

Brother Sang didn't give an inch: "I'll figure it out." ”

Seeing his resolute look, Zheng Quqi also sank down: "Brother, I can't get married." ”

Brother Sang seemed to have expected her to have this kind of reaction, and he didn't argue with her, but only asked her: "Okay, if you don't get married, can you afford to pay taxes for two people?" ”

A tax for Sang Xuanqing not to marry, and a tax for Zheng Quqi not to marry.

has long seen through that she is a money obsessed character, and Brother Sang hit the key point with a word, and she was defeated.

Boy!

Zheng Quqi's expression cracked suddenly.

Can she afford it?

She finally saved some of her salary, and she squandered it almost in order to repair the new house, what did she pay for, and her life?

"If you insist on not wanting to resume your daughter's marriage, you can, if your brother doesn't force you, you can't pay the taxes, and our family will go to the county jail to eat in prison."

He looked at her, waiting for her final decision.

No matter what she chooses, Brother Sang depends on her, but he really doesn't understand that she is so resistant to the idea of starting a family.

Zheng Quqi scratched his hair irritably, and let out a long breath: "Okay, I'll resume my daughter, son, and body to participate in the send-off team!" I have one condition, though. ”

"On what terms?"

"Sang Xuanqing can't disappear." She was right.

Brother Sang was surprised: "Do you want to be Zheng Quqi and continue to be Sang Xuanqing?" ”

"Yes."

——

Following the conversation with Brother Sang that day, three days have passed, and the family sending team came as scheduled, escorted by four township soldiers, and the leader of the team was still the township who came to register a marriageable girl before, his name is Liu Wenqing.

"All ready?" He asked gently.

Brother Sang pulled Sister Sang and smiled: "Wait a minute, the official will be fine soon." ”

The door of the inner house opened, and I saw a black-skinned girl walking out, her hair was rolled up and divided into two braids, wearing a plain cloth skirt, and her petite figure, because her skin was too dark, her facial features were not obvious, but when she raised her eyes, she looked at a pair of light brown dog eyes, which were big and round, and a little ...... Lovely?

Liu Wenqing asked uncertainly: "Zheng Quqi?" ”

"Hmm." Reluctant voice.

This has a brother, there must be a sister, and the same as Sang Xuanqing is short and dark, but this Sang boss is tall and handsome and yellow-skinned, not like a family.

"Let's go, then."

There are a total of more than a dozen marriageable girls in this group of relatives in Hegou Village.

There are good-looking and ordinary-looking ones, and some are not good-looking and more durable than ordinary ones.

But this is normal, to say that the more conspicuous one in the team is a short black skin, plus an older age with dark spots on his face.

They can be regarded as a pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes in this matchmaking.
