I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 207 Chaos
After class break at noon, Ziheng ran to his father's side, stretched out his hand to pull his father's big hand, and said with a grin, "Father, Grandma Qi said to make cold noodles at noon."

Zhou Yu smiled with a sullen face, "That's not too much to eat, you are too young to eat too much cold food."

Ziheng touched his stomach, "My son doesn't eat much."

Bai Lang and the others felt sour in their hearts. The gentleman treats him differently. The one who smiles at his own son is gentle.

Today, Mr. Zhou had a knife in his eye, and they were all stabbed by the knife for a day.

When I got home, there were two tables at home, one for the female family, and one for Zhou Yu and a few of his younger brothers.

Today, Hu Jiao stayed for the first time to eat, sitting on Ye Shi's right hand.

Ye Shi greeted Hu Jiao, "You helped me a lot today, you are not allowed to be polite, you must eat more."

Hu Jiao eats two meals a day, and Shanghe Village basically eats two meals. After the Zhou family opened the school, the villagers knew that the Zhou family had three meals.

People in the village who go to school will only prepare one extra meal for the children who go to school at noon, while others still have two meals.

The Zhou family's lunch is not really rich. Today is cold noodles and a few refreshing side dishes.

However, the strong cold noodles, not everyone can afford it.

Hu Jiao stopped eating after eating a bowl of noodles, Ye Shi frowned, "You eat too little."

Mrs Ye looked at her eldest daughter-in-law, then at her daughter and Geng Li, who both ate two bowls.

Hu Jiao lowered her head, "I eat less."

Zhou Xiaomei knew that Hu Jiao was saving money, that Hu Jiao was reluctant to eat every day, and that Hu Jiao's appetite had become a habit. She sighed in her heart. Hu Jiao had no land, and she had to buy food.

Afraid that Hu Jiao would be embarrassed, Zhou Xiaomei changed the subject and asked, "I remember you said last time to save money, do you want to buy land?"

Hu Jiao shook her head, "Last year, when the Hu family left Shanghe Village, I was still counted in the Hu family, so it doesn't matter to me that I served corvage service last year, but this year I can't. If I want to stay in Shanghe Village, I have to save money to pay taxes and silver. ."

Yang Xi asked, "You don't have a man in your family, how do you pay taxes?"

Hu Jiao's tone was light, "Ten taels of silver, there are no men in my family who are not subject to corvée, only ten taels of tax silver."

Geng Liao has lived in a temple, she knows how hard it is to earn money, and ten taels of silver are too much, "Have you saved enough?"

She heard from her younger sister that Hu Jiao had to buy medicine to soak her feet, which was a lot of money.

Hu Jiao smiled brightly, she never thought that she could save [-] taels of silver, and looked at Zhou Ran gratefully, "It's only a tael short of saving enough, I would like to thank Zhou Ran, without Zhou Ran to teach embroidery skills, I would If you can't save money, you won't have a stable life now."

If she hadn't met the Zhou family, she wouldn't be able to save money for taxes, and she would have to face the cruel reality.

Women rarely live independently. Taxes will not be lenient just because you are a woman. The only thing that comforts women is that they don’t have to do corvée, but they must pay enough tax. annual tax.

If the tax cannot be paid, the government will force the woman to be betrothed to the military household.

It is not easy to set up a female household, and you need to have enough money as a foundation.

After lunch, Zhou Xiaomei and Geng Liao took Hu Jiao home and stopped by to see the patterns Hu Jiao painted.

Hu Jiao's painting was taught by her younger sister.

Zhou Xiaodi didn't go back to the yard after the meal. He lay on the bench full of food and said to Zhou Bing, "Help me get a pillow."

Zhou Bing got up and went back to the house, and came back empty-handed after a while, "Mother said that the pillow was made by Miss Hu and can't be used for you."

Little brother Zhou, "Another day, ask Mrs. Qi to make two pillows."

Zhou Bing sat on the side drinking tea and said casually, "Mother likes Miss Hu very much."

Brother Zhou, "It's more than just like it, but Miss Hu's tenacity is indeed admirable."

A little girl went through hardships. Not only was she not defeated, but she became more and more vigorous. Many men could not achieve this toughness.

Zhou Bing handed his younger brother a glass of white water, "Look at our family, you are not married."

Brother Zhou interrupted, "And Brother Xixuan."

Zhou Bing pointed to himself, "I said that the surname is Zhou. You are not married in our family. Don't say that you don't want to get married. I'm just curious, what kind of wife do you want to find in the future?"

Zhou Xiaodi really didn't think about it, he drank the boiled water in the cup, "I can't think of it, I don't want to, I'm not in a hurry anyway."

Zhou Bing, "."

This is not enlightened, I think I recognized my fiancee at first sight!

In a blink of an eye, the people arranged by General Bai settled down in Shanghe Village and bought the vacant yard of the Bai family. Back then, the Bai family bought most of the yard of the Hu family, and now many of them are vacant.

Yang Xi went to see Xu in person, and Xu agreed to sell the yard.

The three households settled in Shanghe Village, but they did not attract the attention of the villagers. The villagers paid more attention to the wanted order. The people hated the mountain bandits and wished there would be no bandits.

Yang Xi and his wife have seen the revised wanted portrait. There is a beard on the portrait, and the eyebrows and bridge of the nose have been changed. Only three points remain like Guan Yisan.

The prefect of Ruizhou really didn't care about the wanted order. Zhong Jin received an order from the city to increase the land tax, and there was an additional house tax. As long as there was a yard, he had to pay a house tax of [-] wen.

The families of the poor people in Shanghe Village said that they could not live anymore.

It rained heavily in Ruizhou, which had not rained for half a month. The school was closed today. Zhou Yu and his wife listened to the sound of the rain, but they couldn't calm down.

Yang Xi stirred the handkerchief with both hands, "I don't know why, but I feel very uneasy."

Zhou Yu, "Me too."

Yang Xi leaned on Zhou Yu's shoulder, both of them were uneasy at the same time, and they didn't know what was going to happen.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Zhou Yu helped his daughter-in-law to get up, and the two were about to close the door.

Yang San held an umbrella and walked into the gate of the East Courtyard.

Yang Xi was surprised, "You're back?"

The hem of Yang San's clothes was soaked, and he stepped up to the eaves, "It's raining really hard."

Zhou Yu, "It's raining so hard, why did you come back in the rain?"

Yang San's face was very calm, he took the cotton cloth handed over by his sister and wiped his hair, "Wang rebelled, and has already sent troops to attack the capital."

Zhou Yu and his wife reacted for a while, but the two of them did not panic, but felt that the dust had settled.

Zhou Yu, "It's a bit sudden."

When Yang San received news in Yizhou, he was in a hurry to come back. The head of Bai asked him to go first, and he rushed back to Ruizhou.

Yang San, "The news came back from the capital. After the death of Master Fang, the emperor did not show up for many days. When he reappeared, the emperor killed many people, as if he was crazy."

After a pause, he continued: "The emperor wanted to kill the eldest son of King Jiang, but unfortunately he was a step late. When Mr. Fang had an accident, the eldest son of King Jiang ran away."

Now there are all refugees outside the capital, and some people instigated the refugees to snatch them near the capital. At this time, the different surname Wang directly opposed in the northeast.

Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, "Our news is too late. In a short period of time, too many major events have happened in the capital."

Yang San lowered his voice, "When I came back, there were officers and soldiers patrolling the border of Ruizhou."
