Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Everything Zhang Yiyan knew could be found out from the villagers of the third village of Sin Village.

Now that the Fu family is the fourth generation in exile, very few people know the crimes of his family's exile, but some people who were exiled at the same time as them still know. Zhang Yiyan happened to find out about it. In terms of understanding of Fu's family, he had a deeper understanding than Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun.

Because the Fu family had never been contacted by these two people, they subconsciously thought that there was no one in Fu's natal family. In fact, the real situation was similar.

Seeing that they didn't know anything, Zhang Yiyan started from the beginning, "The ancestors of the Fu family used to be a family of scholars. They became officials after passing the Jinshi examination. It is said that they committed serious dereliction of duty, so the whole family was exiled here..."

Scholars are generally weak, but here in Qiongzhou there is no hierarchy at all, they are all criminals, and they all need to pay high taxes.

The ancestors of the Fu family couldn't even grow land well, let alone fishing. The money they brought privately was quickly spent. Apart from paying taxes, they couldn't have enough to eat every year. difficulty.

So the first generation of the Fu family passed away soon, leaving behind a son who had just grown up, who was Li Baolu's grandfather.

The time had passed when Grandfather Fu finally married a daughter-in-law to continue his bloodline, and his accumulation at this time was only enough to feed himself and his family.

Grandfather Fu has a son and a daughter. The daughter is naturally Li Baolu's mother, Shi Fu. Shi Fu is the eldest sister, only two years older than her younger brother. Because Grandfather Fu had studied for several years before he was exiled to Qiongzhou, he taught Fu's siblings to recognize In addition to reading and writing, the Fu siblings are also very talented in farming and fishing, at least better than their father.

When the two children became stronger after the age of thirteen or fourteen, Grandfather Fu not only did not become poorer because of the two children, but because they had a better life.

But even better, their family can't afford to marry Uncle Fu's wife. Zhang Yiyan took a careful look at Li Baolu and said, "I heard from those older villagers that Mrs. Fu married Li Baolu only after she was over nineteen years old." Master, it is because my wife's grandfather wants to keep her longer and do more work for the family, so the relationship between their father and daughter does not seem to be very good..."

In this sinful village where marriages are expected at the age of thirteen or fourteen, it is simply too strange to keep a daughter until the age of nineteen. Even outside, it is difficult for a woman to get married after the age of eighteen without getting married.

Moreover, the Fu family has reached the third generation, and after another generation, they will be able to move out of the sin village and be free. It is said that the Fu family is in such a situation that it is easy to talk about marriage, but it is a pity...

"What about my uncle?"

"Dead," Zhang Yiyan lowered his head and said, "Before my wife's mother died at sea, she also went fishing and failed to return."

Li Baolu remained silent.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yiyan still said: "It is said that your uncle is the one who decides if your wife's mother can marry your father. Now there is only one male left in the Fu family, which is your cousin, but he is only seventeen years old. .”

Fu Dalang was only two years older than Li Baolu. He was only two years old when Uncle Fu passed away in an accident. Later, his mother took him with him, but his mother remarried when he was eight years old.

Fu Dalang has been picking up seafood for a living. He has no boat and can't afford a fishing boat, but when he grew up, he was able to farm by himself. In addition, Li Chang turned a blind eye to reducing his taxes. He can live until now.

The reason why Zhang Yiyan was so impressed with him was that when he took the textile machine to the third village of Sin Village to promote it, he came to sign up, and he also wanted to take a textile machine home and spin cloth by himself.

The weavers were all women, and this was the first man to get the loom. Zhang Yiyan asked the weaver to teach him for a few days, but when he saw that he couldn't learn it, he refused him.

He was very disappointed at the time, his whole back collapsed when he walked away, he was obviously only a seventeen-year-old boy, but he was even more groggy than an old man, and there was a sense of despair in his whole back.

As soon as Zhang Yiyan softened, he proposed to let him grow hemp, and then sell the hemp to Zhiniang, so that he could make some money anyway.

But Zhang Yiyan later asked him about his situation. His hemp business was not good. Everyone kept the price very low. After all, hemp is easy to grow, and every household grows it. Some people grow so much that they can’t weave it themselves. Come, let alone buy hemp.

His status is Liang, so he can sell hemp out to weavers outside, but when everyone heard that he came from Sin Village, they all avoided him, let alone bought his things.

It's Zhang Yiyan that they hold the lifeblood of others, and people outside dare not reveal it even if they despise them.

In the end, Li Baolu decided to go to the third village of Sin Village to take a look in person. What Li Jun said was right, digging up a grave is a major event, since there are still people in the Fu family, they should be invited here, no matter what grievances mother had with them.

It is not far from the fifth village to the third village, and it takes less than half an hour to take a carriage. This kind of carriage rarely appears in Sin Village, and now it is approaching noon. Everyone is at home or under the tree to enjoy the shade, and they can hear the sound of horses kicking They all ran out to watch.

Zhang Yiyan led them to stop in front of Fu's house.

Li Baolu jumped out of the carriage and looked at the dilapidated thatched cottage before truly understanding what Zhang Yiyan said about poverty.

"You, who are you looking for?" A trembling voice sounded from behind.

When Li Baolu turned around, she saw a ragged young man in a short coat and ripped pants, holding a hoe? youth?

Li Baolu looked at the thin young man, then turned to look at Gu Jingyun, who was the same age as him, and smiled at him, "Are you Fu Dalang?"

Fu Dalang tightened the hoe in his hand, tensed his back and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Li Baolu, the daughter of the fifth village of Sin Village."

Fu Dalang was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Li Baolu in a daze, hesitated for a moment before calling out: "Auntie?"

Li Baolu knew at a glance that he was not as ignorant as she was, so she nodded slightly and said, "That's my mother."

Fu Dalang relaxed slightly, looked at her carriage in surprise, bit his lips hesitantly, and finally stepped forward to open the door of the house, and said sideways: "Please come in."

Entering the door is the yard, where three thatched cottages stand side by side. Fu Dalang opened the door and entered the main room. Because it was a thatched cottage, it was low and cramped. The only good stool was moved out to them.

"There is only one stool, you can just sit on it." After saying that, he squatted on the ground and looked at them.

The fence of Fu's house was already full of people, and they couldn't help laughing out loud when they saw this. Some older people knew that Fu Dalang had never been taught, so he didn't know how to treat guests, so he couldn't help reminding: "Dalang, Go and boil some water for the guests to drink."

Then I asked the people next to me to go home and get three stools for Li Baolu and others to sit on.

After hesitating for a while, Fu Dalang went into the low kitchen and started boiling hot water.

Li Baolu glanced at Gu Jingyun and followed him in, while Gu Jingyun bowed his hands and thanked everyone.

Immediately, someone took the opportunity to ask: "Master, he looks like a nobleman, why did he come to our place? Could it be that the Fu family's hometown came to pick Fu Dalang home to enjoy the blessings?"

"Fu Dalang has reached the age of sixteen and is the fourth generation. He can leave Sin Village. If someone from the Fu family comes, he can leave Qiongzhou directly. Isn't this lucky?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes couldn't help but become warm, and they looked at Gu Jingyun with piercing eyes.

People who are exiled here have the most dreams. One is that the world is amnesty, and they are included in the list of pardons; You can also leave them money.

Why do people in the fourth generation who have turned good do not leave Qiongzhou, but go to live in Xiangshan Village, which is also discriminated against?

Because they have no capital, they can't cross the sea, and they can't survive outside, but it's different when relatives come to pick them up.

As long as they can get out...

Gu Jingyun said with a slight smile: "The outsiders are not from Fu's hometown, but they are relatives of the Fu family..." He walked towards several older elders, and said with a smile: "My wife's maternal grandfather's family is the Fu family, and my mother-in-law is the Fu family." The Li Fu clan of the fifth village of Sin Village."

"Ah, so it's the daughter of the Fu family who married into Wucun. I know that girl, but she is a capable and good girl. How is she doing now?"

"Old Wang, you forgot, that girl was shipwrecked long ago. I heard that there is only one girl left, who is similar to Fu Dalang, but now it looks like she has survived."

Gu Jingyun sighed and said: "My wife was really young when my mother-in-law went, so I don't remember anything about my grandfather's house. This time I came back to pay homage to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Only then did I hear that my grandfather's house was in Sancun, so I came to have a look. , I just didn’t expect my cousin to be the only one left in the family..."

Immediately, people in the know were talking about the old affairs of the Fu family for him, while Li Baolu in the kitchen was looking down at Fu Dalang frantically boiling water.

The kitchen was empty, not to mention oil, there was not even a piece of salt, and the yellow mud on the wall was peeling off, revealing holes where you could stick your head out.

Seeing Li Baolu looking at his kitchen, Fu Dalang couldn't help but blush, lit the fire with trembling hands and wiped his face, "You, are you married to someone else as a concubine?"

Her voice was a little trembling, but Li Baolu could still hear it clearly. Her face darkened, she shook her head and said, "No, that's my husband outside, who is being married by Ming Media. Why do you suddenly think I'm a concubine?"

Fu Dalang lowered his head deeply and said, "Your family is only the third generation, so I, that's why I thought..."

That's why she thought she had a good life now because she was a concubine.

Now there is no one in Sin Village who doesn't know Zhang Yiyan, and everyone who knows Zhang Yiyan knows that Gu Jingyun is standing behind him, and she is naturally known to most people, she thought Fu Dalang knew her, "Haven't you heard of me? "

Fu Dalang shook his head in a daze.

Li Baolu didn't mind either. She squatted beside him and watched him light the fire. After a moment of silence, she said, "I'm a good citizen now, and I'm going to relocate my mother's grave. I may seldom come back in the future. Do you want to come with me?"

Fu Dalang stared at her blankly.

"You are already the fourth generation, and you can improve. As long as you have money, you don't have to go to Xiangshan Village to leave Qiongzhou."

"I dare not, and I won't give you too high a promise. I can only guarantee that you will arrange a job for you after you go out with me. If you don't know how to do it, you can buy a few acres of land to cultivate. The taxes outside are lighter than those in Qiongzhou , and your life will be much easier."
