Fiancee weak and unable to take care of herself?

Faced with Hou Zhifu's departure, Qin Jing and Su Zijin were not angry, it was not worth it, and they just followed the steps to do what they should do next.After handing over Qingzhang's matter to Xi Yan's supervisor, Qin Jing followed Su Zijin to the village where the farmer was just now.

This village occupies a large area, and at this time of winter, people are all huddled in their homes, so when the bell at the head of the village rings, some people come out of every household, either stuffing their sleeves, or holding their children, Go to the head of the village.

Under the old locust tree, the head of the village, is the place where the village talks about things.In the past, paying taxes, receiving grain seeds, and grinding grain were all under the old pagoda tree at the head of the village. Therefore, everyone just thought that the village elders had something to say, and they walked to the head of the village like usual. go.When we arrived, we found that two noblemen, a man and a woman, were talking to the village elder.

Seeing their expressions and clothes, everyone couldn't help shrinking their necks, feeling unconsciously ashamed.

"Mother, is that the daughter of a thousand gold? Changle is so beautiful, even more beautiful than the fairy boy Le in the painting."

The child's words were unscrupulous, and the voice was so loud, her mother quickly covered her daughter's mouth, seeing that the noble girl didn't hear it, and she didn't look this way, she was relieved, "Don't talk nonsense, you will bring trouble!"

Infected by her mother's nervousness, the little girl also lowered her head nervously, not daring to speak any more.

Over there, Su Zijin followed Qin Jing, listening to him talking to the village elder, and understood the village elder's and others' thoughts on the government's prohibition of reclaiming wasteland.

"The magistrate was born in farming. We dare not say that he is better than the magistrate in farming, but we have the strength. Naturally, we want to reclaim a little more after serving our own acres. Not too much, just one or two acres. After ordering vegetables, plant some mulberry trees and cotton, enough for my own use.”

Qin Jingjing nodded and looked at the gathered farmers, "Do you all have the same idea?"

The village elder stood up and looked at the timid villagers who didn't know why, "The nobleman is here to ask you guys if you have any ideas, and then open some fields! I, an old fellow, will express my opinion first. If you let me work hard, you will lose three to five acres a year, and gain more than ten acres. If the season is tight, I will hurry up and work hard. I will definitely not reduce production, and I guarantee that it will not be less than the previous donations to the government!"

The villagers didn't know the identities of the two nobles, but after hearing what the village elders said, they knew that they were talking about restricting land reclamation. They didn't care about the embarrassment of the nobles, but stood up and expressed their views, "We Nothing else, if you have the strength, if the nobleman allows us to open up wasteland, we promise to clear the land!"

Not to be outdone, the woman said, "Although our strength is small, we can still manage a few acres of land if we do more work a day."

The little girl who saw Su Zijin's straight eyes just now was even more infected by the adults, and said loudly, "My grandfather also made me a small hoe. If I can open up wasteland, I can also open it!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this. Su Zijin couldn't help but walked up to the little girl and knelt down, "It's tiring to open up wasteland. With this skill, why don't you play at home?"

Facing the fairy-like noble girl buried in her mother's lap, the little girl couldn't help opening her eyes to look at Su Zijin, "I have created a wasteland, and I can use it for my brother to go to school."

Su Zijin smiled, took off a small ruby ​​hairpin from her head, and put it on the little girl's braid, "That's amazing, I reward you with a little red flower."

"It's not right. For her girl, a red headband is enough. How can she deserve such a precious thing?"

The little girl's mother hastily declined, wanting to take the pearl hairpin off her daughter's head, but she was afraid of getting the pearl hairpin dirty with her hands, so she dared not move it.

Su Zijin waved his hand, "It's just stuff, what's there to deserve or not. Xiao Nier is so capable, so many things won't be earned in the future, right?"

Su Zijin looked at the little girl, who nodded with sparkling eyes, touched the cool gem on her head, and nodded vigorously, "Yes, I can earn!"

The result of the village meeting was obvious. After walking a few more villages, Qin Jing and Su Zijin returned to the station.After dinner, Qin Jing began to write today's memorial, which has always been his habit.

"You seem more angry than a few days ago?"

Su Zijin sat at the desk opposite Qin Jing, looked at Qin Jing and said, "A few days ago, there were officials who concealed and did not report their property, and you just let it go. Why are you so angry with Hou Zhifu? He Not even selfish and malicious, but lack of vision and ability."

Qin Jing firmly grasped the pen for writing the memorial, heaved a long sigh of relief, and then raised his head and said to Su Zijin, "You look at him as if he is selfless and frank, saying what he has to say, without hiding anything, but Doesn't mean he's harmless!"

Looking at Su Zijin's clear eyes, Qin Jing went on to say, "His malice comes from human nature. Doesn't he know about his short stature? Perhaps he was a down-to-earth farmer when he was young, and relying on his understanding of farming, he reached the sky in one step and became a After a small official, he used himself as the standard to limit the people he could limit. Maybe he didn't seek personal gain because of this, but he also used his power to limit others to the maximum. This is more hateful than some people who seek personal gain, because He does not allow others to surpass him, and in the name of parents and officials, he says it is for your own good, which makes you half-believing and eventually restricts yourself. Just like parents treat their children, some people tell you not to go to school in the name of your own good. If you do anything else, just farm the land honestly, and let me tell you that you are born to be a farmer.”

Only then did Su Zijin feel his scalp go numb, and resentment welled up from the bottom of his heart.

In this world, people who are not clamoring with a whip are villains.People who limit you so earnestly are even more wicked.The former is forcing you to surrender, and you still have the consciousness to resist.The latter is to influence you subtly, making you become a slave without knowing it, and self-restriction willingly.

Just like the little girl today, her mother has been telling the little girl bitterly for many years that our farmer's family has been farming and doing work all their lives, obeying their father at home and obeying their husband when they go out. Every day's energy is spent on the fields, and the only thing I think about every day is to continue farming after getting married.

Su Zijin's thoughts drifted far away. She thought of her previous life, because she liked to eat and wanted to learn cooking skills, but ever since she said this idea, her family would hit her every time they thought of it. , I have to say, "How can you still be a chef like this? Other chefs are sharp-eyed and quick-witted, and they have to work hard. If you eat like this, you will fall down. How can you be a chef? You should study hard."

Thinking about now, she is always unwilling to eat and sleep in the mansion, and when she has something to do, she happily does it.But the other noble girls, who have the same family background as myself, were taught by their parents to be compliant since childhood, so they can live comfortably in the small backyards of the capital, and do not yearn for the vast world outside.
