Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

Since Guo Deyi was sure that it was a thief who entered his yard, and Erga was killed because he encountered the thief, Su Bai took the opportunity to express his condolences and asked Guo Deyi to provide adequate compensation to Erga's family on behalf of the Kong family.

Kong Dai has not expressed his opinion. He might have a different view, but Qian Rufei handled the matter beautifully without leaving any tails.

Su Bai was in a good mood, and the dark clouds that had been gathering in his heart for many days were blown away.

Dinner for the Kong family and the Kong guards was basically ready and it was time to eat. Su Bai asked the kitchen to add one more dish and also make one for the brothers in the guards.

Arrange the people who are collecting Streptomyces with her today to sit at a table in the front yard lobby. It doesn't need to be too grand, just one dish per person and a pot of hot wine.

Su Bai said that he felt uncomfortable sitting there, so he offered a glass of wine and left the lobby. He then left the Confucius Mansion and headed straight for the regiment headquarters opposite.

"Madam, where have you been all day? I've been waiting for you!" Qian Rufei and Bai Ying were sitting together. When they saw Su Bai come in, Bai Ying greeted him and left.

Just as Su Bai guessed, after lunch today, Erga sneaked into the backyard and stuffed a note into the crack of Su Bai's door, but was caught by Qian Rufei who rushed out from the wing room.

Qian Rufei originally wanted to control him and lock him in the side room and wait for Su Bai to come back to deal with him, but he didn't expect the boy to resist and even scream loudly. Qian Rufei was afraid of alarming the people in the yard, so he had to get rid of him.

Qian Rufei took out a note and handed it to Su Bai.

Su Bai took it and looked at it. It said: 500 yuan, old place, last time.

He breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, he chose to make a final extortion and then leave the Confucius Mansion.

It is unfortunate for Erga and Yan Xi to lose their lives because of money, but if they don’t die, Su Bai will be the unfortunate one.

"Is there a fire?" Su Bai asked Qian Rufei.

Qian Rufei understood and immediately found a match to burn the note.

"Thank you."

"You are too polite, Madam. If you need me in the future, just let me know."

Su Bai said that after Captain Zhou came back, she would treat them to a drink at the best restaurant in Longxing.

After leaving the regiment headquarters and returning to the Confucius Mansion, I arrived at the lobby door and heard Gao Hu and Xu Tianyi chatting happily inside. I didn't go in to disturb them. I went into the kitchen to get myself a bowl of rice, and went back to the backyard after eating.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I saw the eldest daughter Kong Man and the second daughter Kong Yun already waiting under the eaves of the main house.

"Sister-in-law is back!" Kong Yun came down the stairs and put his arm around Su Bai.

Kong Man was still standing there, looking a little embarrassed, and timidly called "sister-in-law".

Kong Yun explained everything to her clearly, and she should come to admit her mistake.

In fact, Su Bai also understood that for the same matter, the Second Miss could explain it clearly to Kong Man, but he might not be able to do so.

What the Sixth Aunt said makes sense. You can't stick dog meat on a sheep.

If they hadn't been pregnant with his brother's blood, they wouldn't have been so close to him.

The big hidden danger of the second wife's accomplice has been eliminated, but there is an even bigger problem next, which is the baby in her belly.

However, there is no rush. The child is still seven or eight months away from being born. In the box under his bed, there is a bellyband specially made for him by his second wife to conceal his identity.

"Sister, after hearing me say that the mountains are fun and there are delicious game, she also wants to go up the mountain with me to take a look!" Kong Yun said happily to Su Bai.

"No!" Su Bai flatly refused.

Although Commander Liu calls himself the commander, he is ultimately a small bandit leader. What kind of family is our Kong Mansion? It is disgraceful for two rich young ladies to take the initiative to run to a bandit's lair.

"Then you saved his life, how do you explain that?" Kong Yun argued.

"I didn't know he was a bandit when I rescued him!"

Kong Yun came over and hugged Su Bai's arm and shook it for a long time, but Su Bai didn't agree.

She believed that after the two young ladies came up the mountain, Liu Yiyan would treat them well and would not bully them.

The young ladies in the mansions stay in the house all day long. Although they eat well and dress well, they don't have much contact with the outside world. When they arrive at Liu Yiyan's Crouching Tiger Mountain, the sky is high and the land is vast. They must have a sense of freshness they have never had before, and they don't have to follow some rules like when they are in the mansion.

But Su Bai couldn't let them do as they pleased. If the news that the Kong family and Liu Yiyan had any dealings reached Kong Chen's ears, the consequences would be disastrous.

"If you recognize me as your sister-in-law, you must be obedient and don't cause trouble for me. Just tell me what you want to eat and what you want to wear, okay?" Su Bai coaxed the two of them and sent them out the door.

The two of them left with pouts of reluctance.

……

Su Bai slept soundly until dawn, and continued to go to the fields to collect and filter Streptomyces.

Like his brother Kong Dai, Guo Deyi hardly asked what the eldest young lady wanted to do. He just prepared the car and buckets when asked to do so.

I don’t know if this is a rule left over from the Confucius Mansion when Mr. Confucius was alive.

Gao Hu still brought the same soldiers from yesterday. With the experience gained yesterday, everyone worked much more efficiently, and Su Bai didn't have to do everything himself like he did yesterday.

Zi Yan took a mat from the carriage and spread it on the ground, letting Su Bai rest on it: "If there is anything wrong, just point it out, Madam. You rest!"

When we were busy working in the fields yesterday, people from the nearby villages were standing far away and looking at us. They didn't understand what we were doing. They must have seen a few soldiers there, so no one dared to come over and ask.

Today, there are still quite a few people watching, and they stand closer than yesterday.

Yesterday, I worked in the fields until the evening without eating. Last night, Zi Yan asked the kitchen to prepare some dry food and pickles and brought them to the fields today.

At noon, when everyone was sitting in the field to eat, a middle-aged man from the village finally couldn't wait and walked over here, but he still didn't come close. He stopped about ten meters away from Su Bai and the others, and leaned his head over to look at the twenty or so buckets in the field and other utensils he had never seen before.

Su Bai stood up and waved to him, asking him to come over.

"Uncle, is this your land?"

The man looked to be in his fifties, about the same age as Kong Dai, with a weather-beaten face.

"I dare not call you uncle, I dare not." The man said and took a step back.

Upon questioning, it turned out that the man was only in his early forties, but his excessive hard work made him look much older than his actual age.

This land is cultivated by his family.

"We chose this place because there are no crops on this land. It will not cause any damage to your land, nor will it delay your farming or affect the harvest!" Land is the life of the farmer, and Su Bai felt that he should explain it to him.

"It's okay, it's okay." The man said repeatedly.

"Uncle, have you eaten?" Su Bai asked again.

"Ate."

Zi Yan told Su Bai that farmers eat in the morning, unlike us who eat at noon.

Su Bai asked Zi Yan to take a large piece of cake and force it on the man. She had heard Zi Yan talk about life in their village. Although many people grew wheat, they rarely got to eat white flour. The output of the wheat fields had to be turned in, and very little was left for themselves.

The villagers rely on corn and sweet potatoes as their main food, and the yield is large, so they can barely get enough to eat.

"Are you from the Kong family?" The man was reluctant to eat the cake, but put it directly into his arms.

“Yes, we are from the Kong family.”

"You are... the eldest young lady of the Kong family?"

This made Su Bai unexpected. Is his reputation so great?
