The heavens begin from the golden years

In the afternoon, Ge Zhaodi's mother came all the way to Xiao's mansion. Seeing that the gate of Xiao's mansion was half open, she looked inside. Suddenly she heard someone calling Zhaodi. She followed the sound and saw Ge Zhaodi. She was standing in the yard Talking to a young man dressed in brocade clothes, his face was full of happiness and sweetness. The two behaved a little intimately, and they seemed to be good friends at first glance. Mother Ge secretly spat on the shameless dead girl, and then directly broke into Xiao Mansion, the courtyard with such a good environment can be seen to be very rich, this dead girl is really lucky.

In the courtyard, Yuan Xudong stuffed the porcelain doll he just bought into Ge Zhaodi's hand and said with a smile:

"Last time you said you liked this porcelain doll, I just bought one, take a look, do you like it?"

"Yes, I like it!"

Ge Zhaodi happily caressed the porcelain doll. She is not very old, but she has just grown up, and she is still a little girl. She likes this porcelain doll, and she likes Yuan Xudong doting on her so much. She takes pity on her. She raises her eyes and looks at Yuan Xudong. , Smiling and narrowing his eyes, said:
"Thank you son!"

"Thank you, as long as you can be happy!"

Seeing that Ge Zhaodi was so happy, with a smile on his slightly immature face, Yuan Xudong also laughed. He took Ge Zhaodi into his arms, stroked her hair with one hand, and stroked her waist with the other and said with a smile:

"This doll can't move. Later, I'll give you a crying and laughing doll, okay?"

"Okay, thank you son!"

Ge Zhaodi snuggled into Yuan Xudong's arms with a face full of happiness. She didn't see the wicked smile on Yuan Xudong's mouth. As for the crying and laughing doll Yuan Xudong mentioned, it is naturally a cute baby. Only the two of them work together to make it happen. Create crying and laughing dolls.

Young men and women, at the age of youthful vigor and taste, embraced each other, and the two gradually fell in love. Yuan Xudong looked at Zhaodi with burning eyes, and Zhaodi also slowly closed her eyes, pursed her mouth slightly, and looked Looking at Ge Zhaodi who was asking for a kiss, Yuan Xudong slowly lowered his head.

At this moment, when Yuan Xudong was about to kiss Ge Zhaodi, Ge's mother broke in and interrupted them. She grabbed Ge Zhaodi's wrist and cursed while beating:

"I've caught you, you still dare to run when I tell you, you bastard, you still dare to lie to me?"

"Ah, let me go quickly, what are you going to do?"

"You heartless money loser, how dare you hide, look, I won't beat you to death!"

"You let go!"

Seeing a crazy woman hitting Ge Zhaodi vigorously, Yuan Xudong pushed her away directly, and protected Ge Zhaodi, who was trembling slightly, behind him. He frowned at the shrew-like crazy woman and said:

"What are you doing, why are you calling Zhaodi?"

The crazy woman was thin, and when she was beating and insulting Ge Zhaodi, Ge Zhaodi just tried her best to protect herself and did not dare to fight back. Yuan Xudong secretly guessed who she was to Ge Zhaodi, otherwise, Ge Zhaodi could not have fought back, and she was just right. Because of this, Yuan Xudong didn't do anything to the crazy woman for the time being. He had to understand the situation clearly before talking about other things.

"Officer, it's none of your business for the old woman to teach her daughter a lesson!"

Mother Ge took a careful look at Yuan Xudong. She didn't dare to provoke the rich and powerful son of a big family. In fact, she deliberately beat her daughter in front of Yuan Xudong. She saw it outside the door. The young master likes his daughter. Seeing how pitiful Ge Zhaodi is, maybe he can buy her for a higher price, thirty guan, or even fifty guan?

Mother Ge was thinking about how much to sell, while looking at Ge Zhaodi who was hiding behind Yuan Xudong, she cursed loudly:

"You shameless stinky girl, do you think you can run away? I can find out where you live by just asking around. You must go back with me today. Don't even think about running away again. Your brother is still waiting." Money to marry a wife and have children!"

Hearing her mother mentioning that her younger brother was still waiting for money to marry a wife and have children, Ge Zhaodi's eyes turned red immediately, and she lost control of her emotions and said:
"I don't have a brother, my whole family is dead!"

"How dare you curse me, today I will kill you!"

Mother Ge rushed up again and beat Ge Zhaodi wildly. Yuan Xudong didn't know what was going on, but could only guess that Ge Zhaodi had a big conflict with her mother. Otherwise, she wouldn't rather wander outside. When I got home, I said that my whole family was dead.

Moreover, her mother doesn't seem to be a good person. Yuan Xudong still knows Ge Zhaodi very well. Although the girl is a bit fierce on weekdays, just like a tomboy, she is very fragile in her heart, and her external toughness is just hers. Just a protective shell.

It must be that her mother has done something too much, and she is so desperate that she wants to escape. Of course, Yuan Xudong will not stand and talk without back pain, saying that mother and daughter have no overnight hatred, and they must know how to respect their mother. Wait, in this world, there are both unfilial children and irresponsible parents. Some people cheat their parents, and naturally some people sell their children. If parents don't love them, children can naturally be unfilial.

As the saying goes, if you are born but don’t raise, you can return your fingers if you cut off your fingers. If you are born, you can raise them. If you cut off your head, you can return them. It refers to the care of parents for their children. If parents don't love and just raise their children, or even raise them as a special commodity, that's another matter.

Regarding Zhaodi, Yuan Xudong will only respect her opinion, and will not impose his will on her. Since she wants to avoid her mother so much, then there must be her reason, looking desperately wanting to beat her Her wife, Yuan Xudong directly pulled them apart.

If he was not careful, it might be that Yuan Xudong pushed a little too hard, or it might be that he met the patriarch of the pottery master. Ge's mother fell to the ground with her buttocks, rolling and crying, Yuan Xudong just felt a little embarrassed After all, she is Ge Zhaodi's mother. He still doesn't know the conflict between the two of them. He glanced at Ge Zhaodi and saw her watching her coldly. He didn't seem to mind. Ge Zhaodi naturally knew what Yuan Xudong meant by looking at him. :
"Don't worry, she has always been like this, she just wants to extort money!"

"You damn girl, did you say that about your own mother? I was pregnant for ten months, and I gave birth to such an evil bastard like you. You ran away after betrothed to Master Qi, and you made us miserable! "

"Shut up, Mr. Qi is over 60 years old. I just turned [-] this year. Just because of the gift of ten pennies, you are going to push me into the fire pit. Are you still my family? Are you really Is it my mother?"

After hearing Ge Zhaodi's words, Yuan Xudong probably understood what was going on. Combined with what Ge's mother said, the matter became very clear. It was nothing more than patriarchal. An old man in his 60s, with a difference of more than 50 years, especially in ancient times when the average life expectancy was very short, wouldn't he just push people into the fire pit?

(In ancient times, the age of Jiji was 15 years old. When the ancient women reached [-] years old, it was the most suitable time to get married, that is, the year of Jiji, and when the age of Jiji was the most suitable time to get married.)
Most of these old men are psychopaths. They are over sixty years old and marry young girls, just like eunuchs marrying wives. They often take pleasure in torturing women in order to vent their abnormality in their hearts. They can push their daughters into the fire pit Parents and family members are simply outrageous, don't worry about it!
Ge's mother was still rolling on the ground, not far away, the maids and servants in the mansion were all watching this side secretly, Sun Sanniang, Zhao Pan'er and others rushed over when they heard the movement, and learned the ins and outs of the matter from Ge Zhaodi, knowing that Ge Zhaodi The mother's purpose was to extort a sum of money. After all, it was Ge Zhaodi's mother. Yuan Xudong didn't let her be kicked out, but chose to spend money to settle the matter.

After some communication, everyone came to the gazebo. Yuan Xudong wrote a contract in front of Mother Ge, and said in a low voice:
"This is a slave contract. Are you really going to sell your daughter to my Xiao family as a slave? You will never regret it in the future?"

"I will never regret it!"

"Okay, how much do you want to sell it for?"

After taking a look at the expressionless Yuan Xudong, Zhao Pan'er, Zhang Haohao, Song Yinzhang and others in gold and silver, Mother Ge stretched out five fingers and said with a smile:
"Fifty pennies, as long as fifty pennies, she will be your family's servant!"

"Fifty pennies?"

Seeing Mother Ge's ugly face of asking for money, Sun Sanniang couldn't help but mock her:
"You only need ten pennies to marry your daughter to that old man Qi as a concubine, and now it's fifty pennies?"

"How can it be the same?"

Mother Ge thought that Sun Sanniang thought it was too expensive for her to ask for fifty guan, so she couldn't help but said anxiously:

"Although she's young, she's pretty good looking. If she receives customers for a few years, won't she earn back the fifty pennies?"

Unexpectedly, Mother Ge would say such vicious words, and everyone couldn't help but look sideways. Sun Sanniang, who is also a mother, felt deeply distressed and sighed:

"You are really her mother!"

"I don't care about her, just fifty pennies, do you want it?"

"Okay, just fifty sticks!"

Yuan Xudong didn't bother to talk to Ge's mother anymore. As long as he spent the fifty guan, Ge Zhaodi would have nothing to do with her cruel mother. He signed the bond and handed it to Ge's mother, saying:

"Look at it, Ge Zhaodi, Changqing County, Qizhou, has not been betrothed to anyone yet, and now she will definitely sell it to me for fifty copper coins. In the future, life and death will have nothing to do with the old home. If you can't write, just press your fingerprint!"

Seeing that Yuan Xudong was so talkative, Ge's mother became greedy again, but the slave contract had already been written, and she couldn't raise the price anymore, so she came up with another idea:

"I have spent a lot of trouble coming back to Tokyo. The officials will give me some rewards. Besides, I am pregnant with a daughter in October."

Before Mother Ge could finish speaking, Yuan Xudong interrupted her impatiently, and said in a low voice:

"How much do you want?"

Seeing Yuan Xudong's unhappy expression, Mother Ge stretched out five fingers, and whispered tentatively:
"Five strings?"

"Okay, five guans are five guans, money and goods are cleared, life and death have nothing to do, you can press your fingerprints!"

"okay!"

Seeing Yuan Xudong's straightforwardness, Ge's mother happily pressed her handprint on her daughter's slave bond. At this time, Ge Zhaodi was hiding in the backyard watching from a distance as her mother sold her own daughter as a commodity to Yuan Xudong couldn't help crying like rain, covering his mouth and crying bitterly.

Yuan Xudong withdrew the bond, asked Zhao Paner to give Mother Ge 55 coins, and then asked someone to send her out. Mother Ge took the 55 coins and left gratefully, without the slightest feeling of sadness or reluctance. To see Ge Zhaodi for the last time, she left Xiao's mansion directly, the joy and excitement on her face were beyond words.

After Ge's mother left, Zhao Pan'er and the others dispersed, Yuan Xudong walked to Ge Zhaodi's side, he looked at her distressedly, hugged her into his arms and said softly:

"Okay, don't cry, I do this, don't you blame me?"

"My lord, thank you!"

Nestling in Yuan Xudong's arms, Ge Zhaodi cried and said:

"In order to save enough gifts for my younger brother, they sold me twice. The first time they sold me to a restaurant as a foster mother, and I earned money to redeem myself. The second time, they sold me to Qi, who is over 60 years old. The master is a concubine, and I managed to escape home. My younger brother even informed Master Qi, so I escaped and came to Tokyo. That's why I said that my whole family is dead. She is my mother. She is also a woman, how could she have the heart to let others ruin her daughter?"

"Okay, stop crying, it's over!"

Yuan Xudong put his arms around Ge Zhaodi who was crying sadly, he took out the slave deed and handed it to her, saying:
"Zhaodi, do you know why I agreed to sign this bond?"

"Why?"

Ge Zhaodi raised her head to look at Yuan Xudong, and said with tears in her eyes:

"Young master, do you want me to serve you all the time?"

"Why, in your heart, is your son such a despicable villain?"

Looking at Ge Zhaodi with tears in his eyes, Yuan Xudong pretended to be unhappy and said:

"If you didn't have this bond, wouldn't you want to serve me?"

"No, I, I am willing to serve the young master!"

Ge Zhaodi looked anxious, as if she was afraid that Yuan Xudong would misunderstand her. Seeing her like this, Yuan Xudong kissed her on the forehead, then wiped away her tears and said:
"The reason why I signed this bond is to let you understand that you don't owe her anything. Although she is your mother who gave birth to you and raised you, she has already sold you to me. No one is forcing her, she is the one who wants to sell you, slave, you should know how vicious this slave is, everything about you belongs to the master, that is, mine, including your life, this is simply a betrayal Your whole life!"

With that said, Yuan Xudong sighed slightly and said:

"You keep this slave bond yourself. If she dares to pester you again, I will send her to the government!"

"Thank you son!"

Ge Zhaodi put away the slave bond, she nestled in Yuan Xudong's arms, and murmured:

"Young master, you are so kind to me. From now on, Zhaodi will be your servant and serve you for the rest of her life!"

"Okay!"

Yuan Xudong hugged Ge Zhaodi and sat in the corridor of the backyard. While talking, they looked at the flowers and plants in the garden until the sun was setting.

Under the fiery red sunset, Yuan Xudong picked up Ge Zhaodi and walked towards her boudoir.

Walking into the room, he put the blushing and shy Ge Zhaodi on the bed. Yuan Xudong gently took off her outer clothes while kissing her, and then the pale pink apron embroidered with peach blossoms. Ge Zhaodi just closed his eyes slightly, silently Cooperating with her sweetheart, she is willing to give everything to Yuan Xudong, even if it is the most important part of a girl's name.
With the setting sun and the twilight, a few birds were chirping and calling. The sound was really nice, just like the moaning of a young girl. The cries were melodious and wonderful. In a Fengshui pool not far away, two red carp were entangled with each other. Together, they jumped out of the water from time to time, and fell heavily again, splashing a splash of water.
At night, the sky was covered with dark clouds and the wind was strong. A bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, and then there was rumbling thunder. After a while, the violent wind swept down the torrential rain, like the Milky Way bursting its embankment, pouring straight into the city of Tokyo. In the middle, on the streets by the river bank, the roofs of many thatched huts have been overturned, the water level of the Bian River has soared, and the river water has poured into the city of Tokyo. The storm blew in all directions, and the loss was heavy for a while.

In the city, the river was pouring into the city, and there was water everywhere. He Si, Lu Wu and the others were taking the servants under their hands to block sandbags outside Chi Pan's shop to prevent the water from flooding into the shop and destroying the goods. At this time, Chi Ya Nei ran out of the store against the wind and rain. In such a big storm, the water level of the Bian River soared. If the disaster in the city is like this, the wharf must be even worse. He is the head of the twelve guilds in Tokyo, and the wharf is also under his control. If the pier is destroyed and supplies from outside cannot be brought in, then the whole of Tokyo will really be in chaos.

Chi Ya's heart was burning with anxiety, and his face was full of anxiety. He looked at He Si, Lu Wu and the others and shouted loudly:

"Forget about it, follow me to the pier!"

"Yes!"

At the same time, all the households in Osmanthus Alley were in a mess, Yuan Xudong also climbed down from Ge Zhaodi, and ordered the servants in the mansion to block the door with sandbags to prevent the accumulated water from overflowing. At that time, Sun Sanniang and Zhao Pan'er put on coir raincoats, and they were going to have a look at the half-hidden tea house. Zhao Pan'er put a lot of famous porcelain and paintings in the half-hidden tea house. However, it was Zhao Pan'er who had saved ten years of hard work before meeting Yuan Xudong, and could not give up easily.

Instructing Song Yinzhang and others to guard the house to prevent the accumulated water outside from pouring into the yard, Yuan Xudong took a few guards from the Xiao Mansion, and accompanied Sun Sanniang and Zhao Pan'er to Maxing Street. The wind was blowing and the rain was pouring. People waded through the water and walked hard. There were many shops on the street that were damaged by the hurricane, and buildings destroyed by the hurricane could be seen everywhere. It was built of bamboo, and only two servants stayed there to look after the shop, so don't let anything happen!
After a while, Yuan Xudong and others finally arrived at the half-hidden teahouse. The two boys who stayed in the teahouse overnight were blocking the door with sandbags. Feeling relieved, Yuan Xudong laughed even more:
"Look, I told you that nothing will happen, it's only a thousand coins at most, what's the matter?"

Before he could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning struck down and instantly hit a big tree next to the tea house. Immediately afterwards, the burning tree broke from it and hit the tea house below.

Yuan Xudong and the others were stunned. The two young men who were blocking the door with sandbags almost died of fright. Fortunately, no one was injured, but half of the half-hidden tea house was destroyed, and those famous porcelain paintings were seriously damaged. A small part, and the rest were all destroyed. Zhao Pan'er suffered a heavy loss. The wealth accumulated for ten years was completely destroyed, and Song Yinzhang's dowry was also paid for it. If Yuan Xudong hadn't supported her, she would have passed out in distress. Only then did Yuan Xudong know that Zhao Pan'er was actually a real money fanatic. No wonder he insisted on doing business. Now it's over. After ten years of hard work, he was no match for a sudden storm.

A flash of lightning illuminated the miserable faces of Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang, and Yuan Xudong comforted him:

"It's okay, if the money is gone, you can earn it again. It's half ruined, and the other half is left."

Accompanied by rumbling thunder, the wind and rain intensified, and a gust of wind swept through the remaining half of the half-covered tea house, and then the whole half-covered tea house collapsed, and the ground was in a mess. Now Zhao Pan'er really has nothing to lose After returning home, seeing her staring at him in a daze, Yuan Xudong was also a little embarrassed, and said embarrassingly:

"It's okay, we"

"To shut up!"

"To shut up!"

Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang spoke at almost the same time. They are most afraid of hearing Yuan Xudong say that it's okay, but Yuan Xudong just doesn't believe this evil. He continued:

"It's okay, it's a blessing in disguise, but I don't know if it's a blessing. The tea house is gone, so we can open a restaurant!"

"Restaurant?"
