Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

When the two families agreed on their marriage, the big stone in Wan's heart fell to the ground, and he was very happy all day long. Looking up, she saw Baolu sitting on the side sleepily, as if she had infinite thoughts.

Wan came forward to put him on the bed amusedly, and asked softly, Did you quarrel with Brother Jing Yun? I see that you have been a little unhappy, and you haven't eaten much for dinner.

Li Baolu looked up at her grandmother and asked, Grandma, why do we come to the Qin family when we have so much money? Can't we live on our own, just you and me.

Wan Shi felt a pain in her heart when she heard the words, looked at Li Baolu with sore eyes, opened her mouth, and finally just pressed her against her chest, and murmured: Silly boy, grandma is reluctant to leave you, but this is a helpless act. , being engaged to Gu Jingyun and getting the protection of the Qin family is the best result. You will understand when you grow up.

But I want to know now, Li Baolu said stubbornly, Grandmother, I don't want to leave you, let's tell Uncle Qin, take the money and go back and live alone, we won't live with Second Uncle either.

Wan Shi smiled wryly when she heard the words, If it's possible, grandma is willing to raise you no matter how hard and tiring you are, but no!

Wan Shi hesitated for a moment and said, You may not understand what I said, but since you want to listen, grandma will tell you. You should remember it first, and you will understand when you grow up.

The Qin family and the Gu family are both wealthy families, so there is nothing wrong with letting Baolu get acquainted with the worldly ways earlier.

We are sinners in exile. One charge is against one head of the household. After three generations, we can be released from the criminal record and move out of the criminal village where we live now. But we can't leave Qiongzhou Mansion without the permission of the imperial court.

When your grandfather was around, he was the head of our family. Originally, the next head of the household should be your father. Your second uncle depends on your father to survive, but unfortunately... Wan Shi sighed sadly, and continued: So not only you, but also me We cannot live without your second uncle, taxes and labor have to be paid to the imperial court through him, and our rights and obligations are all obtained through your second uncle.

Even if we can stay with your second uncle, we only need to pay taxes and labor, and our grandparents and grandchildren will not be able to survive in Sin Village. Wan sighed: Son, apart from the aborigines and some unscrupulous people in the Qiongzhou government The merchants who are less than here are all exiled criminals and their descendants. Of course, some of these people were wronged here like your grandfather, but there are too few of them.

They have bad natures, let alone living in this place of exile where they will die if they don't fight? Our grandparents and grandchildren are too weak. If nothing else, after we move out, we only need a few more waves of thieves or hooligans at home. No matter how many of us Assets will also be looted.

Another thing that Wan didn't tell Li Baolu was that if their grandfather and grandson really wanted to make a bill, they couldn't take the money with them, and Li Hong was no fool.

At that time, she was overwhelmed with grief, so as soon as Li Hong mentioned her, he gave him the key to put the money in the house, because he was her son!

Although a little lazy and a little pretentious, in her opinion, these are not problems that cannot be corrected, so she trusted him and relied on him at that time. Who knew that his heart was so cruel?

The money she gave to Baolu as a dowry was private money specially given to her by her husband.

Li Bo has always felt guilty about his wife following him to the land of exile to suffer and suffer, so every time he visits the doctor, he will withhold a part of the money for Wan's private house, and every time the accumulated amount reaches a certain amount, he will exchange it for her with large ingots of silver, which is easy to hide. Some.

Anyway, only he knows how much he can get for each consultation, and he and his wife have always been in charge of the family's money. They are not worried that their son and daughter-in-law will know that he has left private property for Wan.

Li Bo did this just in case. After all, no matter how filial his son is, he still has his own small family. Sometimes it is inevitable that he can't take care of the Wan family, but who knows that after he and his eldest son and daughter-in-law were killed, the money became Wan's and his wife's family. The foundation of Baolu's existence.

Li Hong didn't know that her mother had such a large fortune, otherwise she would never have let her go out with Baolu.

Wan gave Qin Xinfang the whole ingot as Baolu's dowry, but she put the broken silver in her purse and handed it to Baolu. She said, I originally wanted to give it to you tomorrow, but since I'm here today, I will give it to you. I'll give it to you as well. Although the Qin family is good, but you are a child bride, and it is always inconvenient for you to speak up, so you hide these broken silver, maybe you will use it later.

Li Baolu stared blankly at the purse in her hand, she didn't expect it to be so difficult to survive in this exiled place, and she didn't expect her grandmother to bear such a great pressure.

She stuffed the purse into Wan Shi's arms with red eyes, looked at her with wet eyes, and said, Grandma, you take it home and buy meat to eat, you have to watch Baolu grow up healthy and healthy, and you have to visit me often , or I will be sad.

She knew that Wan's health was not good, otherwise she wouldn't have sent her away in such a hurry.

Wan Shi was about to refuse with a smile, but when she lowered her head, she met Li Baolu's eyes full of tears, she was startled, her mouth moved slightly, and she finally caught the purse, Good boy, how about grandmother and half of you?

Li Baolu was about to shake her head, but Wan smiled and said, If you don't want it, then grandma doesn't want it either. I'll give it to Uncle Qin as your dowry tomorrow.

Li Baolu didn't shake her head.

Wan's purse was torn open, and half of the broken silver was poured out of it, and he put it in a random bag, and the purse was still handed over to Li Baolu for safekeeping, These money should not be spent lightly, and should be used in emergencies, you know? Worried about the kid taking the money to buy snacks and the like.

Li Baolu was not a real child, she nodded seriously upon hearing this.

After clearing her doubts, Li Baolu was in the body of a child again and fell asleep almost as soon as she lay down. Wan Shi leaned against the bed and looked at her. Just like Kang Er when she was a child, she looked at her with wet eyes.

Wan felt that everything he had done was worthwhile.

The Wan family was in a hurry to go home, and even if the Qin family wanted to make a big engagement ceremony, it would be too late, so Qin Xinfang had to take the money and go to the village butcher Wang to buy half a pig for a banquet, and invited the whole village to eat.

Now everyone knew that Qin Xinfang had bought a child bride for his nephew, a child bride after a criminal.

Everyone laughed, and someone asked Qin Xinfang rudely, Master Qin, is he planning to take root in Qiongzhou for the rest of his life? He even found a wife for his little nephew in this kind of place.

Qin Xinfang smiled and said: I think Qiongzhou Mansion is very nice, with beautiful scenery and warm climate. It's good to live here for a long time.

The man sneered and said, You officials like to say such nonsense. If you hadn't been exiled here, I don't believe you would come here.

Qin Xinfang glanced at him slowly, and said: If I have enough time, I will really come. After all, I am different from your Excellency. I have lived in one place for a long time, so it is inevitable that I yearn for green mountains and green waters.

You scold me! The man slapped the table and jumped up angrily.

Everyone knows that he was a bandit in the green mountains and green waters!

Qin Xinfang cupped his hands and laughed, Don't dare, dare not!

Seeing the commotion over there, Gu Jingyun seemed to be about to fight, and immediately snorted coldly, walked forward and said: The head of the village is coming, won't you go to greet him, uncle?

The child's voice, who pretended to be serious, successfully prevented an impending fight. Zhang Dachui, the former head of the bandit, thought of the friendly relationship between Qin Xinfang and the village head, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger, and sat on a chair and stared at Qin Xinfang viciously. Xinfang turned her head to stare at that short and thick brat again.

Gu Jingyun didn't seem to see his gaze, turned around and walked slowly to his fiancée, Li Baolu who was a head shorter than him.

Qin Xinfang had already stood up with a smile on her face and went to meet the biggest official in the area, Mr. Li Chang.

Li Baolu slowly closed her open mouth, turned her head and asked Gu Jingyun, Everyone doesn't seem to be very friendly.

Gu Jingyun nodded expressionlessly, There are only nineteen families here, and the relationship with each other is not very good.

Then why did you invite them to the banquet? Li Baolu asked with wide-eyed eyes. Generally, shouldn't people with good relations or relatives be invited to such happy events?

Gu Jingyun asked Li Baolu in surprise, Can we not invite them?

In his limited memory, it seems that the whole village invites the whole village together for important events. Even during the Chinese New Year, everyone has to get together for a meal. Although there are always emergencies such as quarrels and fights, but... …

Gu Jingyun stared wide-eyed and asked, Isn't this a custom? Isn't it like this in your sin village?

Li Baolu put her shoulders on her shoulders and said helplessly: Who told you this is a custom? Who would make such a strange custom, our sin village is not like this.

Gu Jingyun asked, Which crime village are you in?

Five! Li Baolu taught her to recite the address before Wan's arrival, in case she couldn't find her when she needed something later, their address was really easy to recite.

I don't know who chose the name. All the villages where the exiled prisoners live in Qiongzhou Mansion are called Sin Villages. According to the numbers, it is said that they have already reached the nineteenth place.

The descendants of the third generation of prisoners can choose to leave the sin village and live in Xiangshan village, where all the descendants of the exiled prisoners live, and they are also arranged in numbers.

Of course, they can also choose to stay where they are. After the criminals in the entire sin village reach the third generation, the sin village can be renamed.

The yamen has no strict restrictions on these people. They can also apply to the head of the village to change the name of other villages, but I don’t know if everyone is lazy or is used to such a name. When changing the name, everyone will consciously follow the number of Xiangshan Village. .

So they only need to memorize the numbers, and they don't have to worry about finding their way home.

For example, Gu Jingyun, if he went out to play and forgot his way home, he just asked him where the village was, it was so easy and easy to remember.

Gu Jingyun frowned and said, Perhaps the customs of each village are different?

Maybe. Li Baolu couldn't think of any other reason besides accepting this explanation.

Li Baolu looked at the table of hungry children, poked Gu Jingyun and asked, Where are your good friends? Should we talk to them?

No, Gu Jingyun said expressionlessly, You just need to talk to me, and don't talk to other children.

What are you two doing here? He Zipei turned around and saw that the two children were whispering together, so he came forward amusedly and said, Hurry up and have dinner, we will be greeted soon.
