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

King Chengjun breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the Gu family was willing to cover up for them, then this matter would not cause too much trouble.

The tension between Xie Yi's eyebrows also relaxed, and he glanced at Gu Jingyun gratefully.

Princess Chonghua was also very grateful to Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu. Seeing Li Baolu's sorrowful brows, and thinking of the child who was still in the hands of the traffickers, he hurriedly borrowed someone from King Cheng, "Brother, one by one has been found now, you Call back all the government soldiers, let them also go to Baoding to help find someone. One by one is out of the sea of ​​suffering, but there are still many children still in the hands of those traffickers."

Prince Cheng nodded without hesitation, "I'll let people go."

King Cheng and Princess Chonghua took Xie Yi to leave, because time was urgent, they didn't wait for Qu Weizhen and the others to wake up to thank them, they agreed to come to the door to thank the two children formally in a few days later.

Prince Cheng and Princess Chonghua came here in white clothes, outsiders don't know, Li Baolu also knows that their concerns didn't send people to the door, but only sent people to the gate, and watched them get in the car and leave .

Gu Jingyun saw that Baolu was not in a good mood, so he stretched out his hand to hold her and comforted her: "There are quite a few soldiers in the Prince's Mansion in Cheng County, and there is still a high chance of finding them if there are clues, so don't worry."

Li Baolu nodded slightly, now she can only wait for the news.

Qu Weizhen and Qu Jingxi were very tired on their way back to Beijing, they slept until midnight before getting up, and came to see Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu after dinner.

The two first handed in their homework respectfully, expressing that although they went home, they still studied hard and did not dare to slack off, and they did not miss their homework.

Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu flipped through their homework, nodded slightly, and asked, "Is the journey safe?"

Qu Weizhen nodded, "We didn't meet any bandits or road tyrants. We returned home safely. When we returned to the capital, everything went well except for meeting Xie Yi. The bodyguards said that the life of the people in the past two years has been better than before. So the road is better."

Gu Jingyun nodded in satisfaction.

During the time of the first emperor, there were many miscellaneous taxes and many corrupt officials. In addition, the crown prince and the four princes continued to fight against each other. The life of the people in Dachu was not easy. .

Therefore, the road is very uneven.

After the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, he rectified the government for five years, reduced taxes every year, and resettled refugees. In addition, in the past two years, except for a few small places, most of the places in Dachu have been in good weather, and the people have a good life. .

Moreover, the border has been stable in the past few years. The Great Chu and the Tatars barely live in peace, and the border market is open. There is no need to fight, and the Ministry of Households has reduced military expenditures, and most of the saved money has been used for water conservancy construction.

It was also because of this that Gu Jingyun gave up and only hired two escorts to let their children go on the road.

After listening to what the two had seen and heard on the road, the two began to listen to them tell about the situation of the Qu family.

The life of the Qu family is much better than before.

Not to mention the good weather, but the lack of food and drink for the two children made them feel better.

Qu's father and mother love their son the most. In the past, nearly half of the family's food and clothing expenses were spent on Qu Jingxi. After Qu Jingxi left, the two of them were more stingy than before. With rice bran and weeds, the three sisters of the Qu family would not starve to death.

The result of this is that the couple accumulated a lot of copper coins, and the money that Qu Jingxi sent back was saved by both husband and wife, which will be used as a dowry for their son to marry a wife in the future.

The three sisters of the Qu family also had nothing left, but Qu Weizhen had the foresight. She never sent money to her parents, and the things she sent back through the post station were not ready-made coarse clothes and cotton-padded clothes, but all kinds of bacon.

Each set of coarse cloth and cotton padded clothes is made strictly according to the measurements of the three Qu family sisters. Fortunately, the Qu family couple are not only stingy with their daughters, but also with their relatives, so the clothes sent back still fall into the On the bodies of the three sisters of the Qu family.

After a year of hard work, Qu Weizhen reached a cooperation agreement with the bodyguard of the bodyguard bureau. When he went to deliver the letter, he would secretly send money to the three sisters of the Qu family, but Qu Weizhen wanted to give him 10% of the reward. .

Qu Jingxi didn't understand why her sister would rather spend this wronged money than send money like him in a fair manner.

He knew that his parents were stingy, but he felt that when the family environment was better and the money was more, the parents would always be nice to the older sisters.

Then when he came home this time, he realized how wrong he was.

The parents are still stingy, and they still give the sisters steamed buns mixed with more than half of the rice bran, and there are still no rice grains in the porridge.

Except for the New Year, there is no meat at home, it should be said that the sisters don’t see meat.

Parents would also buy meat if they had money, but they ate the meat by themselves, not for the older sisters.

On the first night when Qu Jingxi returned home, he was taken to his parents' room to have a small cooking with them, while his sisters ate wild vegetable steamed buns in the main room.

Qu Jingxi almost cried, but no matter what he told his parents, they didn't agree.

Most of the daughters are raised by marriage. Married daughters are like poured water. What good is it to feed them well?

Qu Jingxi only felt tightness in her chest, as if it was blocked by a stone.

He really wanted to ask his parents, isn't his daughter your child, isn't he your flesh and blood?

Whether it is useful or not, is there no love between father and daughter, mother and daughter?

However, looking at his parents who were looking at him happily, Qu Jingxi's words were blocked in her throat, forget it, knowing that it was useless, why did she say it?

Qu Weizhen was much more calm about this, she calmly ate wild vegetable steamed buns with her sisters, and then went into the house to sleep with them, mainly because she asked them about their life at home and the eldest sister's marriage.

But except for what they ate at home and what they did in the field, the sisters could answer, and everyone else didn't know what to ask.

Qu Zhaodi's marriage has been settled, but she doesn't know anything except the other party's surname is Wang.

Qu Weizhen almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

But she knows that she can't blame her elder sister, because she has been like this since she was a child, listening to her parents and taking good care of her younger siblings.

Qu Weizhen had no choice but to inquire and inquire by herself.

When Qu's father and mother found that they could not control their third daughter, they became furious and beat Qu Weizhen, but in the end Qu Weizhen won. She yelled at her parents who were about to beat her to death: "I am a teacher!" My disciples, if you kill me, my brother won't think about it either!"

Qu Jingxi hugged the third sister and cried loudly: "The reason why the master accepted me as an apprentice at the beginning was because he liked my sister's intelligence. If you hurt my sister, the master will not want me anymore. Father, mother , I want to study, I want to be an official!"

Qu's father and Qu's mother didn't dare to do anything again.

Qu Weizhen and Qu Jingxi used this golden cudgel to force their parents to resign from the Wang family. Qu Weizhen himself made a marriage for her elder sister and married her elder sister before leaving.

Facing Li Baolu, Qu Weizhen didn't hide her words, she lowered her head and wiped her tears and said: "The Wang family looked at their wealth, and told my father that they wanted to marry my sister because of my younger brother's future. The dowry gift is quite a lot, twenty taels."

She poohed and said: "In the end, I went to inquire. My sister married in the past to be a sequel. The son surnamed Wang is two years older than my sister, and he has the habit of beating his wife. Who is he?" , I will not agree to these two points.”

Li Baolu praised: "Well done, then what kind of husband's family did you find for your sister?"

Qu Weizhen said lowly: "The family background is only slightly stronger than mine. Fortunately, their family is of good character, their parents-in-law are loving, and their brothers are harmonious. My brother-in-law is named Liu, and he is a second-year-old in his family. He has a loyal personality. The dowry built a tea shop at the entrance of their village, specially for passers-by to rest their feet and drink tea. With the income from the family’s fields, at least it won’t be too sad.”

"Their village is next to the official road?"

"Yes," Qu Weizhen said, "Sir, you must have been there. It's just three miles outside Runing City. I saw the tea shop after it opened. There are quite a lot of people resting their feet."

Also considering the situation of the Liu family and the Liu family village, at that time Qu Weizhen did not exchange the silver for bracelets or anything like that, but cash money for dowry directly, so the tea shop opened in this way would be regarded as Qu Zhaodi’s dowry, which is not good for the Liu family. meddle.

Even if most of the money earned still has to be handed over to the public school, her eldest sister and her husband also have a source of private money, so life will not be too sad.

Her elder sister's health is too poor, and Qu Weizhen, who has learned some basic medical knowledge from Li Baolu, knows that her elder sister needs to eat some eggs and red dates for a long time to recuperate her body.

She still has her second sister and younger sister to take care of, and she can't help the married second sister too much. She can only find a fixed source of support for her.

Before she left, she had talked with her eldest brother-in-law, and he promised to cook at least one egg for her sister every day to recuperate her body.

Gu Jingyun glanced at Qu Jingxi, who was hanging her head down, and asked, "Are you sad?"

Qu Jing's eyes turned red.

Gu Jingyun continued to ask with a hard heart, "Then have you thought about how to treat your parents and sisters in the future?"

Li Baolu and Qu Weizhen also looked over.

Qu Jingxi bit her lip tightly and did not speak.

Qu Weizhen felt distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold his younger brother's hand, and defended him: "Sir, Jingxi took good care of us, this time I can let my eldest sister marry with a dowry because of him, otherwise my parents will fight When we go to the Liu family, we will also snatch the dowry back."

Gu Jingyun looked at Qu Jingxi persistently.

Qu Jingxi broke away from the third sister's hand, knelt down and said: "I will be filial to my parents, but I will also love my sisters. From now on, I will give more money to the third sister to save."

Qu Jingxi's money has always been divided into three parts, one part is kept for herself, one part is sent back to her parents, and the other part is given to Qu Weizhen to be kept as a dowry for her sisters.

Because the sisters thought that the money sent back to their parents could also be used, so the proportion of this money was not small, but after returning home this time, Qu Jingxi felt that she could adjust the proportion again.

Gu Jingyun reached out and touched his head, "You have done a good job, sir, this question is just to make you clear your heart. Your parents are good parents to you, and your sisters are also good sisters to you."

What moved him at the beginning was the friendship between Qu Jingxi and his sisters, Gu Jingyun didn't want him to be entangled in this.
