Traveling through the daily life of raising a family in ancient times

Chapter 116

"That's right, but it's the first time I've seen his daughter-in-law."

"How can you see such a beauty? If it were me, I would lock her up at home, hehe..."

The man who said this looked a little wretched.In the village, he was known to like to verbally take advantage of older girls and younger daughters-in-law.

To put it bluntly, this person has a wicked heart but no guts, and only dares to flirt behind his back.

After finishing speaking, the man suddenly felt a cold gaze staring at him.He looked up and looked around but found nothing.

The woman just mentioned stood quietly beside her husband-in-law, not looking this way.

"Damn it." The man muttered, and then went to chat with the person next to him.

"Hey... Who is that little lady?" The woman who found Song Yeqing pushed the people on the left and right with her elbows.

"I don't know." "Never seen"

They turned their heads to look at Song Yeqing, and they all said they hadn't seen her before.

The other courtyard was originally separated from the village by some distance, and Song Yeqing had never been in the village, so these people naturally didn't know her.

"I know the He Langjun next to her, and he often comes to my house to buy vegetables. He is the one who bought the other courtyard of Master Meng's house. This little lady should be his wife."

Said the woman who built a firehouse to grow vegetables at home.

"Yo, this couple is really talented and beautiful."

Looking good is naturally pleasing to the eye, someone sighed.

"Don't you guys think she's really out of gregarious? It's been a long time since his family moved here, and I haven't seen her go out to socialize."

You are born to be uncomfortable with other people's kindness, and said sourly.

"That's also..."

"Yes, yes, that's what I wanted to say just now."

Some echoed.

Song Yeqing heard a few words and glanced at them, but she didn't care.

The officials on the stage whispered to each other, and then signaled that it was time to start.

"Tang, clang, clang!" Lizheng's son thumped the gong several times.

Li Zheng shouted: "Quiet! Quiet! My lord has something to say."

The crowd gradually quieted down.

Among the officials who came this time, the highest official stood up, "I am the governor of Zhaozhou Prefecture, surnamed Feng. The whole Zhaozhou was ordered by the court to settle the victims..."

He talked about the acquisition of vacant houses in the village for the victims of the disaster, and added a lot of things.

After the other party finished speaking, a discussion broke out in the crowd.

"It's a good thing my family doesn't have one." Most people felt relieved.

"What should I do, will it damage my house?"

"If you want to talk about houses...the one with the most houses must be that one."

Everyone knew who it was talking about, and those who heard it nodded.

Standing on the outermost edge, Meng Shurui, who seemed not to want to participate in this matter, kept his face unchanged and did not express anything about it.

Before they chatted for too long, an official next to Governor Feng stepped forward and shouted, "Silence!"

Lizheng's son was also clever, and knocked on the gong.

Governor Feng cleared his throat.What I said just now was official language, so it's time to say something to appease the common people.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, please listen to me. These people are ordinary people just like everyone else. If it's not really hard to live on, why bother to leave their hometown..."

He expressed the drought in Qizhou and the suffering of the victims in emotional and easy-to-understand words.

It made some kind-hearted and soft-hearted people burst into tears, thinking that the victims of the disaster were really pitiful.

This will allow for a smoother arrangement.

"Has anyone offered to let people live in? This is a good move. You can bring it up now." Governor Feng asked.

Someone raised his hand. "My lord! Our house can accommodate two people."

"Sir, my family has an old vacant house that can accommodate five people."

……

"Master Feng, my main house can accommodate 20 people."

It was the servant of Meng Shurui's family who said this. He stood in the innermost and spoke the most clearly.Presumably it was ordered by the Meng family early on.

"Oh? Who is your master?"

As Governor Feng asked, he received information on vacant houses in Mengjiazhuang that had been prepared in advance from his subordinates.

In fact, he had already guessed, isn't it the one that has a vacant house that can accommodate 20 people here.

The other party used to be out of his reach, but now...

Forget it, they used to be respectable people.Although 20 people were not as expected, for the sake of the other party's initiative, twenty is twenty.

"Going back to my lord, it's Mr. Meng Xiangyu's house." The servant lowered his head and lowered his hands.

Meng Xiangyu is the name of Mrs. Meng.Since his two sons have not yet separated, his name is used.

The division of the family can only be discussed after the two brothers return from five years of hard labor in the border town.

If you can't come back again, Mrs. Meng, the oldest elder sister-in-law, can only preside over it.

"Oh, I know. Then you all stay here later." After laughing, Governor Feng handed the list to his subordinates without saying a word.

Looking at the list in his hand, the Meng family has already been heavily criticized.

The subordinate said: "Next, the people I called stay. If you don't call at the end, you can leave."

He turned up the volume, "Meng Xiangyu! Meng Hualiang! Zhang Chenglin..."

Read ten names in a row.

Some people were displeased after being pointed out, let out a low "oh", and quickly returned to normal.

Some were expressionless and accepted it calmly, as if they had already understood the result.

Until the end, He Yanxin's name was never read.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Song Yeqing, "It's a good thing we don't have a home."

It's not that I don't want to help the victims, but it's just that there are three children in the family. If there are some strangers who don't know anything about it, I really don't feel at ease.

In addition, He Yanxin needs to go out frequently, leaving only women and children in the same room with other people, which is even more worrying.

"It shouldn't be there." Song Yeqing was a little surprised.

Like the disaster victims, they both came from Qizhou, and some rooms were vacant.It stands to reason that it is more suitable for people to come in and live.

If Song Yeqing knew more about Mengjiazhuang, she would understand that those people who just read have vacant properties in their homes.

The government has thought carefully about this aspect.The disaster victims will not be allowed to live in the same yard as the owner's house, which will easily lead to conflicts.

Unless you still can't live in it in the end, you will consider arranging people to live with you at home.

But I have to thank Lizheng for this matter. When discussing with the government, he mentioned that there are many children in this family and there is only one adult man, so it is not suitable.

It can be seen that a good relationship is still very important.He Yanxin usually has contacts with Li Zheng's son, and he treats people well.

That's how they met each other's eyes.

The villagers left one after another, and when they passed by, they basically looked at them a few times, and Song Yeqing was a little uncomfortable with the sight from the beginning to the end.

So she said to He Yanxin, "Let's go."

"Ah."

When the two reached Meng Shurui, He Yanxin patted him on the shoulder. "Brother Yuming!" These were the other party's words.

Meng Shurui showed the first smile after coming here. "Yanxin, you and your younger siblings go back first, I'll look for you after this matter is over."
