Chapter 42: Exhaustion and Returning Water

You Xi patted Hongdou's hand to reassure, "We have long been united, and now we are just making up for it." Uncle Mo and Aunt Mo, Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen, you don't have to excuse yourself, I still have a lot of things to do, so don't let me waste any more effort on this matter, just wait for the day of the ceremony and help cook and greet the guests. ”

Nowadays, it is very solemn to recognize the relatives, because after recognizing the relatives, the younger generation has the responsibility of supporting the older generation, and the older generation also has the responsibility of taking care of the younger generation, so many people who receive relatives will hold a small banquet and invite people who are very close to the family to introduce each other to recognize the head.

Yumai's parents okra's parents saw that Youxi's eyes were tired, and they couldn't bear to argue with her, so they only urged her to wash and rest.

You Xi wanted to talk about the house with the people on the other side of the You family today, but maybe she was full of wine and food and just slept well, she couldn't even open her eyes at the moment, and she didn't dislike it anymore because she only had a straw mat to make a shop and thin clothes to sleep.

Under the oil lamp, Mrs. Chai touched Youxi's black hair, "It's all blue and black now, you can see that you are tired these days, ...... on your face?" Okra takes a lamp to ......"

"Huh." Okra answered and handed the oil lamp over.

Mrs. Chai saw through the light that the bruises on Youxi's face after washing off the fat powder, she reached out, and when she was about to touch Youxi, she withdrew her hand, covered her mouth and nose with her hands, and sobbed, "No wonder I went so many days to come back, it must be another time to die again, the bastards of the You family have harmed my Xi'er a lot!" Let's live together for this time, if they dare to harm my Xi'er, I will fight with them. ”

At this moment, Mrs. Chai was like the she-wolf who was protecting her cubs, and her soft tone was full of fierce words.

"Madam, don't be sad, our girl has always had a very clear plan for the future, she is getting closer and closer to her goal, and no one will hurt her in the future." Okra whispered to soothe.

……

On the second day, at the end of the hour and the beginning of noon, You Xi yawned and opened his eyes.

She slept comfortably last night after a sleepless night.

At this hour, the four people who lived with Youxi in the fire room, Auntie, Okra, Yumai, and Red Beans had already gotten up to do things.

You Xi stretched out again before getting dressed.

When You Xi came out of the fire room, he saw himself and the You family staring at each other in the same courtyard.

She waited quietly for a while before she realized how the two sides could face each other.

It turned out that it was cold in winter, and the water surface was frozen, and the stream that would flow into the courtyard could not get water, so the people in their small courtyard had to go to the well 200 meters away to get water.

In the days when You Xi didn't come back, Mrs. Chai and her water were all okra Yumai's father and brother and a few of their You family servants in Leshan helped carry water.

In those days, Mrs. Chai and the others remembered that Youxi's combat effectiveness was insufficient, and within a few days, the You family had not gone to pick up water, and they all used water from okra Yumai's father and brother.

This morning, the You family took water from the bucket of water brought by Okra Yumai's father and brother as usual, and when Okra Yumai's father and brother saw it, they stopped doing it, and asked the You family to carry water to compensate, but the You family refused, and the two sides were deadlocked.

You Xi stepped forward, "Big brother, they are all the same sons and daughters as Mo Zhenwen, why can't they even fight water?" So how do you plan to live in the future? ”

Yesterday's IOU turmoil, the four rooms and five rooms of the You family are not long-eyed, they have to hit the river in front of them, all of them have been cleaned up not lightly, with their examples, the second and sixth rooms have signed the IOUs, and they have not been embarrassed, who would have thought that the second room would be early in the morning today...... It should be noon, and he came out to show his eyes.

Brother Youxi, a single name, he heard Youxi's voice, first startled, and then subconsciously began to explain, "Big sister, I am a scholar, I can't carry water." We used this water for the past few days, but today we ...... I didn't explain that I wasn't allowed to use it today, they asked me to return the water, which is really unreasonable, big deal, big deal, I won't use it tomorrow. ”

"You don't need it tomorrow, let other travelers use it, right? Eldest brother, you are not a scholar anymore, you and even the entire You family are now just ordinary civilians, don't use water if you can't carry water, don't eat if you can't cook, otherwise being beaten will become your daily routine. ”

Nowadays, the imperial examination system that has left a strong mark in the history of Youxi's era has not yet appeared, and now the imperial court selects officials by recommendation.

The election system is to let the old ministers who are highly respected in the DPRK and the central government nominate new ministers with both ability and political integrity.

Although the election system also has the express provisions of the imperial court law, the election of officials must be selected to have a certain reputation among the people, but this kind of practice of saying that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law is reasonable, in terms of the background of the family, let them push their own children into the office, it must be several times easier than the poor family.

Moreover, the Youjia, the former eunuch family that suddenly declined because of corruption and bribery, is the most despised by today's wise men, Rao is that they are still striking iron and hardening themselves, not seventy or eighty years, making people forget about the present, and it is impossible for anyone to recommend them to the office.

If in the past few decades, they can't survive and have to sell themselves to support themselves, not even civilians, then there is even more hope of recovery.

"And from the beginning, no one said that you could use the water in the courtyard, and now it is natural that the owner of the water can say whatever he wants, who will give you time to wait until tomorrow."

"You, you, are really villains and women who are difficult to raise!" You Yan said angrily.

You Xi sneered, "Eldest brother, you said that you are a scholar, but you say such things, it seems that your knowledge is not very good, fortunately, you have not entered the court as an official, otherwise it will not harm the people." ”

"Did I say something wrong? Now that we are down, we have no respite, and you are bullying us with your minions, what are you not despicable villains! ”

"Big brother, what does it have to do with me that you don't have the breathing power, I asked you to do things that violate the law and discipline? Did I make you disloyal? Don't forget, I'm the worst one of you guys.

I can stand here now because I took the risk to enter the palace on the day when your family's accident was also implicated, and I made my own efforts to turn the tide for myself. And you, who have been out of the prison for so many days, are there still people who come to persecute you? No, but have you made any changes? Just like you, I am giving you three or five years, and you still have no respite, is that if you don't have respite for a day, others will let you for a day, you have no respite for a lifetime, and others will let you coax you for a lifetime, what are you dreaming of? ”
