Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

174 enemy
The autumn colors in Jinling are far less intense than those in the north, and the sparse red leaves are actually so popular among tourists that Zhao Lu is very puzzled.

Exorbitant levies and miscellaneous taxes have been an unavoidable revenue-generating behavior since ancient times. Once this is implemented, the people will be like animals tied alive, and the only way to go is to be tied tighter and tighter.

"You go back to the capital. I have been on duty for more than ten acres of farmland in the past two years. Plus you and your brother-in-law, you won't have to worry about anything when you go back. Why bother..." Zhao Lu said earnestly, for fear that the couple would be trapped in Aurous Hill. If he was an outsider, he would definitely be the first to be hit.

Zhao San, with a frown on his face, quietly fried a pot of shredded sweet potatoes for her. The atmosphere between the two sisters made Liu Ping's eyes hurt, so he simply hid out on the pretext of collecting the corn.

"There was an earthquake last month. Fortunately, it was not our area that was hurt. Hundreds of households came to lobby in person, and the grain must be handed over. The government also said that in order to provide disaster relief, the court's relief has been delayed, and the land rent will have to increase... Six Son, if I leave this year, wouldn’t the past two years have been in vain?” Zhao San couldn’t help but complained to his sister.

1000 taels of silver went south, but now he only has more than [-] taels in his pocket. We are all ordinary people who have come through hard times, and Zhao San can't do that kind of cheating behavior such as deducting food rations. After paying this year's salary, it is not the same as two years ago. What a difference.

The land rent has increased, but this sweet potato is already a crop she has experience growing. Jinling is warm and the output is more than double that of the capital. The harvest is at your fingertips, and no one can say anything about turning back.

Zhao Lu was at a loss for what to do and snorted.

"These are the experiences of growing sweet potatoes in the capital. You should keep them." It was a letter about how to grow sweet potatoes in the North with a divorce letter embedded in it. It also contained the property deeds and land deeds in the capital. The assembly lines were guarded by ghost swords. They would not be able to do it for three to five years. There were some surprises, but more likely, who can’t say.

With helplessness on her face, she gnawed a sweet potato and said calmly: "It's time to say goodbye. I don't know when I will be able to return to the capital. You two need to be good. The momentum is not right. You would rather lose money than get stuck. Go back to the capital as soon as possible. "

She did not dare to tell Zhao San that she had become a blackmailer. People were afraid of life and death, and they were afraid of the government.This household registration is like a factory certificate. If it is now a piece of waste paper, I don't know how worried Zhao Sande will be.

"You are from the Taiyuan Hospital. You work for the government. You don't need to be afraid even if you go to the ends of the world." Zhao San was very optimistic, thinking that although Liu Yatou's worries were reasonable, they still couldn't get to that point right now.

There must be a process for powerful people to oppress the people, and we won't talk about it until the situation goes wrong.

She thinks well.

Zhao Lu sighed with anger in his nostrils and refused to pay attention to it, so he turned to talk about it. When he went south, he could pass through Yizhou. There were high mountains and long waters, and the scenery there was different from that in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Speaking of which, I heard that a girl from the Jia family you used to serve married to Yizhou. Now that the Jia family is raiding their homes, she may be implicated. Be careful when passing by Yizhou." Don't be implicated, because Because of Zhao Lu, Zhao San and his wife paid special attention to Jia's family.

"She is the second girl of the eldest family. His Majesty also said that the trouble will not affect the married daughter, so she should not be involved." Zhao Lu thought of the cautious girl, shook his head quickly, and said, "Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I will get it before dark." When we get back to the ship, we might have to leave overnight."

Briefly speaking, the most talked about thing is to pay attention to safety and good health.But if we meet like this openly, it is not certain whether we will have another chance in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lu felt a little sad. Before leaving, he forced a smile and said, "Are the beans you stewed with pig's trotters kidney beans? Are there any more? They're quite delicious."

On the oxcart going down the mountain, Zhao Lu brought a large bag of food, dried sweet potatoes that were steamed and dried until glutinous, white jade-like kidney beans, sugar balls pressed into the shape of cats and birds... Zhao Lu's face rippled. Smiling, I thought to myself that these two people were just as eager to make money as they were. "Liu'er! Bon voyage!" Zhao San stood on the top of the mountain and suddenly covered his stomach and shouted. Seeing Zhao Lu looking up at her, she added with blushing cheeks: "I'll be my aunt when you come back."

I don't know if Zhao Lu heard it clearly, but he saw her waving her hands brightly, and her figure gradually disappeared into the green clouds.

"Didn't you say it's not confirmed yet, so you just said that?" Liu Ping stood behind him, with a bit of laughter on his face.Zhao San didn't have to look back, he leaned forward with a smile on his face, showing his absolute trust in the other person.

Her smile did not change, she pursed her lips and leaned on Liu Ping's shoulder. She had high hopes for her flat belly at this moment. She only heard the woman whisper softly: "I think we are inseparable."

"Okay, okay." Liu Ping smiled, and the couple helped them walk back. The male voice said steadily: "Sixth sister's worry is not unreasonable. Besides, we also agreed in advance that if it happens, you will go back to the capital to raise the baby. , I will handle the rest."

……

When the escape plan is implemented, it is always difficult to calm down. Zhao Lu is getting on the boat with all his packages, and Yuan Chun is watching the stars at the window.

The swaying lights of thousands of houses set off the busy port, and the noisy crowds rushed around day and night. Zhao Lu touched an ordinary face facing the puddle and shuttled through the crowd like a fish, lighting up the escort agency. The homemade "ship ticket" went all the way to Yizhou as expected.

The journey south was not smooth, especially in the middle of the night when there was thunder and lightning, the purple stars were dim and difficult to see, and the bearded man sat in front of the window, his expression flickering in and out.

At the time of the transition between the old and the new government, the newly stabilized border area has become extremely lively in the past two years. Traveling far away at this time is actually an extremely dangerous thing. Encountering thieves on the road, robbing them, and sailing all the way, Zhao Lu has already captured these mobs. It became a daily routine.

"We don't have anything to grab, Sister Shuo, there's really no need to worry." Yuan Shuo's reaction could not be concealed from his nervousness whenever there was any disturbance.It was also her fault that she had a strange feeling of compassion. When she heard that someone had narrowly escaped from being imprisoned, her words were faster than her brain, and she volunteered to send her to continue south.

This woman must be capable of some evil deception, and she definitely doesn't want to take advantage of her.

Zhao Lu muttered, Yuan Chun was amused by these words, and couldn't help but hissed as his body trembled slightly, then he sat obediently by the window, closed his eyes and rested.

The pounding rain began to pound on the window. The nightmare of being exiled was not over yet. Shui Yi happened to see clearly all the information that Shui Yi wanted to hide.

Every night in the dead of night, those wailing faces and the miserable old lady were hugged by the cold wind underground, and the smell of blood under their robes went straight to their noses, and they all met her in her dreams.

Therefore, every time Shui Yi did something low, Yuan Chun felt like he was like a ghost in hell, struggling behind a face as gentle as jade, just waiting for an opportunity to pounce on her and eat the Jia family to pieces.

No one can enjoy wealth and wealth among such cliffs. Jinghe is right, that is a deformed lover and even an enemy.
