Raiders of peasant girls

Chapter 301 Talking about marriage
When Helian Fenghua said this, Jingyao really felt that something was wrong.

"Thanks for reminding me, I really didn't remember this!"

"Girl, I won't accompany you back to Hexi Village. I'll wait for you in Fucheng."

"Okay!" Jingyao knew that Helian Fenghua still had matters to deal with while staying in Fucheng, not to mention anything else, just the matter of the disaster victims in the northwest and the Lin'an government office had to be dealt with.

"Come back sooner!"

"Oh, I see!"

In the early morning of the next day, Jingyao, Erlang and his group set off for Qinghe Town with Xiaoliu Xiaoqi.Since they didn't move their graves this time, going back this time is regarded as offering sacrifices to their ancestors. Old man Wang and Wang Dahu, Yang's family and Lu's family are still in Hexi Village.

Moreover, Qin Lizheng and others drove away their family back then, and the matter of snatching the coffin had to be resolved.Besides, the death of old man Wang back then had nothing to do with Qin Lizheng.

"Third Sister, I'm afraid it will be night when we reach Qinghe Town!"

"Then let's just stay overnight in the town."

Fucheng all the way to Qinghe Town is actually not far away, and it takes almost a day to drive a horse-drawn carriage.It's just that walking down the road from Fucheng, the more you walk, the less comfortable you are.

She really didn't expect that Lin'an today is not much better than that in Lingnan back then, not to mention ten rooms and nine empty spaces, but in some places it takes tens of miles to find a small village.

Occasionally, I passed by two towns, but the situation in that town was comparable to that of Fa Cai Town back then, dilapidated.She asked Huayi and the others to go down and ask about the situation, but she didn't expect it to be the sequelae of the Qinghe flood incident.

It was also the flood that year, tens of 10 people died, and countless property and livestock were lost. Today's era is not like modern times, when one party is in trouble and all parties support it.Now the only place that is unreliable here is the imperial court, but the imperial court has too many places to manage, even dozens of prefectures in a country can't manage too many.

"I finally know why Master Ming said that the government office has no money!" Jing Yao couldn't help sighing as she looked at the desolate appearance outside the window.

Erlang also nodded, "It seems that the Qinghe flood has hurt the vitality of Lin'an Mansion, and it has not recovered after five or six years."

"I'm afraid this place won't be able to recover in another ten years." Jing Yao saw that those large tracts of land were all deserted, and her heart ached.These were fertile fields back then, but now that people are dead, the fields are ruined.Thinking about it, the rest of the people can't plant too much land, so they let it go barren.

"Hua Yi, go back and discuss it with the bandit leader. Let's buy some Zhuangzi in Lin'an Mansion. I think the land here should be very cheap."

"Yes, girl!" Although she was named princess, Huayi and others still like to call her girl, and of course they would call her princess on other occasions.

"Sister, what are you doing buying land here?" Erlang asked.

"It's cheap here. People like us have too little wealth. Now we have the opportunity to buy more. And it must be much cheaper to buy now. When the place becomes prosperous in the future, even if you want to buy it, you may not be able to buy it. And if you don't meet big In fact, the weather here is very good, suitable for growing crops, buy more land and save more beams, just in case. Don’t look at the peace in Da Viet now, but it’s actually very turbulent in the dark.” What she didn’t say was that especially when the prince grew older these years Now, the struggle for power and profit has become even more fierce.Back then, those princes were not too old to cause floods, so there is no possibility of rebellion in the future.

Coupled with the robbery of the northwest garrison and the dog army, it is estimated that the northwest and the dog army will be in turmoil again.As for Xiliang, which seems to be friendly, but Helian Fenghua said that there has been constant friction on the border recently.

In case a fight breaks out one day, there will definitely be a shortage of supplies, so she has to prepare early in advance.

"You're right. Our family is originally a farming family. The farm is the most important thing. We have a lot of land in Lingnan, but there is very little here in Lin'an. Lin'an is fertile and fertile. It's better than Lingnan. It’s a good deal to buy land here.”

"Since the second brother also agrees, let Hua Yi and the others go and buy a few more. It's best for us to have one under the names of brothers and sisters."

"Ah, isn't that too much?" Erlang didn't expect Jingyao to prepare a Zhuangzi for everyone.

"Not much more, eldest brother and you are both fifteen or sixteen years old. In ordinary families, it's time to get married. Even the four and five are also eleven or twelve years old. The dowry should be prepared early. .It’s just that our family was a little late in renunciation, which delayed the elder brother and the second brother.”

Jingyao sighed faintly.She grew up in a blink of an eye, she herself was already 14 years old, Erlang was one year older than her, and Dalang was two years older than her.If they were still in Hexi Village back then, it is estimated that the two of them would have been married or engaged long ago.But these few years in Lingnan, with their identities, it's really hard to say they're close.Let's just say they have the same status as them. There are many girls of the same age in Lihua Town, but none of them are too suitable.

Hearing about his own marriage, Erlang didn't feel embarrassed at all, it was just a little funny, he had to be his sister's worry about any marriage.

"Third Sister, we have a solid foundation in our minds about my marriage with Eldest Brother. And judging by our family now, we don't have any foundation, only a little money, neither official status nor fame. Eldest Brother and I have discussed it. If If you don’t make a career out of it, you will definitely not get married.”

Then Erlang said again, "Sister, brother knows that you and the prince are in love with each other, and the prince has treated you like a day for many years. Brother also believes that he will treat you well. It's just that the prince is not an ordinary person. If my brother and I do nothing , how can I support my sister in the future?"

"Second brother!"

Jingyao's voice was slightly choked, she didn't expect that Da Lang and Er Lang would think of her like this.

"Silly girl, let's earn the dowry for the elder brother and the second elder brother ourselves. It's just that since you want to be with the prince, you should buy more dowry for yourself in advance, otherwise it won't look good in the future. Most of the money in our family is earned by you." Yes, now grandma and third aunt are gone, our mother is gone, and second brother will join the army when he arrives in the capital, and then only you can make plans for yourself."

Speaking of this, Erlang actually wanted to cry, and his eyes were really red for a while.He suddenly found out that his younger sister had worked so hard for the family for so many years, and now that she was old enough to marry, no one would worry about her.It's because he's so useless as an older brother!

"Third Sister, brother, I'm sorry!" The eldest brother is like a father, even if his parents are gone, he should take care of it, but now that he doesn't even have a future, how can he have the ability to take care of it.

Jingyao knew what Erlang meant, and although she felt a little bitter in her heart, she was not too sad.Their family is different from other families, and it has been too difficult along the way.
