Yutai Bi

Chapter 6

"Go buy wonton stew in chicken soup. You ruined my breakfast, and I'm not full yet."

Baicao happily agreed.

"Buy three bowls and come back. You and mom will eat together too." Cen Sanniang ordered.

In a blink of an eye, Baicao forgot about the fourth master's teasing, happily counted the copper coins and left the yard.Cen Sanniang was extremely envious of her heartless appearance.

How great would it be if I had a thigh to hug, and I could be as carefree as Baicao?Sanfang once drove away a few servants with a contract of sale, and it is said that all of them were crying so much that the sky was about to collapse.Without the protection of the master, survival would be difficult.One of them was killed when he went out of the house.Cen Sanniang seemed to understand a little bit.In this era when people can be bought and sold as livestock, freedom is actually a higher-level need.For the lowest-level people who have no land and no money, life is the most important thing.

When Cen Sanniang was teaching the herbs, Mrs. Xu cleared the table, took a dustpan with needles and thread, and embroidered and mended the blue and blue white butterfly Confucian robe with thread.

Cen Sanniang helped her thread the needle, and said without much regret, "I'm really scared today..."

Sending someone under the scorpion, how can it be all by one's temper.Cen Sanniang didn't feel safe at all.

The Cen family in Longzhou split up in Cen Sanniang's grandfather's generation.Cen San's family has four bedrooms.

Cen Sanniang's grandfather and the old man Sanfang are brothers.Grandfather, grandmother and three old masters passed away one after another.The old lady of the third room is still alive, with three sons and a daughter under her knees.The elder of the third room is now the patriarch of the Cen family in Longzhou.

Mrs. Li was killed by a cold when Cen Sanniang was nine years old.Master Cen kept his filial piety for his original spouse for a year, and fell ill on the couch with grief for the spring and autumn.Before Jixian gave birth to a son to support the family, he left Cen Sanniang, who was only ten years old, and went with his wife.Cen Sanniang became an orphan in the fourth room.

After her parents passed away one after another, Cen Sanniang felt that the sky was about to collapse, and she developed a high fever after guarding the spirit all night.

Sanfang helped take care of Master Cen's funeral.Seeing Sifang's miserable situation, the old lady of Sanfang yelled for pity, took Cen Sanniang back to her residence, and asked someone to invite a doctor to see her.

The four houses have 150 mu of paddy fields, [-] mu of mulberry fields, a second courtyard, and two shops.In Longzhou City, they can be regarded as a middle-class wealthy family.

The old lady of Sanfang said that she couldn't tell Sifang to cut off the incense.The eldest master opened the ancestral hall, invited the elders of the family to testify, and according to the old lady's wishes, adopted the youngest son of the third and fourth master, Jiu Shao, who had just turned four years old, to the fourth.Before Young Master Ninth became an adult, Sanfang took care of the property for Sifang, and took [-]% of the income as a bonus for the management.

The three old ladies made a promise in front of the clan elders.Cen Sanniang lived in the third room from now on, and she ate, drank, and ate like the girls in the third room.In the future, the public will give her another dowry.When the adopted Ninth Young Master becomes an adult, he will take care of Sifang's property and let him inherit Sifang's incense.

When Cen Sanniang recovered from her illness, the matter had already been decided.

The third family adopted a son, and after paying a dowry and a few years' allowance, they took away all of the fourth family's property.He also continued the incense for the fourth house, took care of the orphan girl, and did things in a decent and beautiful way, so that no one could find fault.

Cen Sanniang had just arrived, she took a look at her thin arms like bamboo poles, and knew that she couldn't twist Sanfang's thick thighs.

Thinking about it better, she just needs to eat and drink and wait to get married and start another new life.At worst, Sifang already has an heir anyway, if she is disobedient, she will die of illness easily, and Sanfang will even save a few years of food and dowry money.Cen Sanniang stared at the meticulously painted Chengchen on the roof, thought about it for less than an hour, and made the most realistic choice.
