It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 372

Song Er took Song Jinyu back to the Zhuqing Courtyard, and only after the servant had served tea did he ask, "What did Mrs. Yu ask you to do?"

Song Jinyu sneered, his eyes were full of sarcasm and said, "What else can I do? It's nothing more than wanting to give me another woman..."

After a pause, he continued, "It's just that the bet this time is a bit big."

Song Er raised his eyebrows and asked with great interest, "Oh? How do you say it? What kind of Dafa?"

Song Jinyu took a sip of tea and said, "The one I want to stuff this time is her own niece."

Song Er rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and then said slowly, "You have to be careful in everything. When walking around the house, try to take the road as much as possible. Don't take the garden, the path near the rockery, and don't go to the lake."

Su Jinyu looked at Song Er helplessly, "Second Uncle, there is so much snow outside now, so thick snow, why am I running to the rockery, the lake, or the garden? Am I stupid?"

"Second Uncle, have you read too many books?"

Song Er laughed, then straightened his face and said, "Second Uncle didn't joke with you, you have to remember that our emperor is very disgusted with spoiling concubines and destroying wives, if you want to take the imperial examination in the future, If you want to be an official, you can't have a concubine before you marry your regular wife, so as not to leave a bad impression on the instructors who will be assessed..."

The current emperor of the Yun Dynasty is said to have been bullied very badly by his father's sons and concubines before he ascended the throne.Therefore, on the first day of his accession to the throne, he ordered that any student who took part in the imperial examinations, if he did not marry a regular wife, or if he did marry, but the regular wife did not agree, he would carry his concubine back to the mansion, and he would be deprived of his ranking forever. Not to obtain fame in the examination.

Song Jinyu was born in Yunchao, and he wanted the imperial examination wholeheartedly, so how could he not know about this?Immediately he assured, "Second uncle, don't worry, nephew understands."

Song Er nodded, stood up, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Come on, try to get a good reputation in the past few years, and then Second Uncle can return the entire Song family to you..."

Song Jinyu shook her head hurriedly, "Second Uncle, this house is supported by you, it belongs to you, I don't want..."

Song Er smiled, "You brat, don't try to escape responsibility, your second uncle, I have been managing your father and son's house for more than ten years, I want to relax..."

Mrs. Zhao's brothers and nephews finally returned to Sujia Village with a crowd of sweet potato vines. Mrs. Zhao stepped forward excitedly to look at her brothers and nephews.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, you are finally back? It started snowing heavily recently, I thought you were going to be stuck on the road, and you couldn't come back years ago..."

Boss Zhao smiled, "We were really afraid of being trapped on the way, but fortunately, we met someone from the Yamen to clean up the snow on the official road, so we were able to come back smoothly."

The second Zhao said, "Little sister, don't worry, our journey has been smooth and nothing has happened."

Zhao Laosan also nodded and agreed, "Yeah, I didn't encounter anything, but when I was approaching the pass, I didn't have a place to rest for three days. I drove for three days day and night. And when I came back , On the road, I met a lot of people fleeing to the south. They thought we had food and wanted to grab it, but when they saw that we were all empty carts, they gave up..."

When Mrs. Zhao heard the words, the joy was gone, she was all frightened, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

When Zhao Wang saw the expression of his sister-in-law, he covered his eyes in despair, oh my god, his father is so good at talking...
The Zhao brothers and nephews on the side also looked helplessly at their younger brother (third uncle).

Song Rui asked Meng Mingzhou to pay the rest of the delivery fee for all the men who brought back the sweet potato vines, and it would be New Year's Eve.

Because of the continuous heavy snow this winter, although no one died of starvation in Sujia Village, there were some people who died of starvation in nearby villages or relatives' homes.Therefore, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year this year is not good, and there is no feeling of Chinese New Year at all.

On the early morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, after the family had breakfast, Su Rui said to her younger siblings, "It has been snowing for too long this year, causing many people to lose their houses and food. So there will be people on the road. There are many people who want to escape to the south, and there are also many traffickers who pretend to be refugees by taking advantage of the chaos. They specialize in catching children and selling them to the south. The good ones are bought as slaves, and the bad ones are bought into unclean places. They will be ruined for life. .”

"Big sister doesn't want you to be taken away by those traffickers, so don't go out alone, don't go to strange places, you know?"

Su Ying, Su Chenrui and Su Qiao are all grown up, so they nodded without hesitation, "Sister, we will remember."

Su Rui nodded, then looked at Su Wan and Su Chennan, "Where are Wan'er and Chen Nan?"

Su Wan thought for a while, then asked, "Elder Sister, being sold, is it just like Xiaoshi and Xiaoxiang?"

Su Rui nodded, "Yes, if you are betrayed, you will never see your sister and brother for the rest of your life, and you will also be beaten and scolded."

After hearing this, Su Wan blinked her eyes, and retorted, "But Xiaoshi and Xiaoxiang are doing well in our house? They also said that our house is better than their own, and they don't want to go home at all. .”

Su Ying and Su Qiao covered the corners of their mouths with handkerchiefs, for fear of laughing out loud, while Meng Mingzhou, Su Chenrui, and Meng Mingxu also looked at Su Rui and Su Wan talking with smiles in their eyes.

Su Rui looked at Su Wan's big eyes, and was at a loss for words for a moment, then continued after a pause, "Well, Wan'er, our family is not the kind of vitriolic people, so we will not treat the people who bought it badly. "

"But many people outside will beat and scold servants. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mama Liu."

After hearing this, Su Wan turned to look at Mama Liu who was still clearing the table, "Mama Liu, is what my elder sister said true?"

Liu's mother looked at Su Rui, saw her winking at her, stood up immediately, and said respectfully, "Miss, what the eldest lady said is true, for some servants who have been bought home, beating and scolding The light ones, many of them died. Because they were all servants who were bought and sold, so the government didn’t care, just wrapped them in a broken straw curtain and threw them into the mass grave..."

Su Wan's eyes widened when she heard the words, she obviously felt that what Liu's mother said was too scary, she snuggled up next to the second sister, and whispered to Su Rui, "Eldest sister, Wan'er is good, Wan'er doesn't want to be kidnapped."

Su Rui smiled, "Okay, if Wan'er is good, she won't be trafficked."

Su Chennan's little follower saw that the young lady said so, and hurriedly raised his hand, "Eldest sister, eldest sister, Chen Nan is also good."
