Shen Chenai's Different Life in Ancient Times

Shen Chenai leaned on the window sill to look outside, but unfortunately there were no lanterns lit in the yard, so apart from some figures in the shadows, Shen Chenai couldn't see anything.

The farce brought by the drunk did not last long. In the chaos, no one knew who lifted his leg and kicked the drunk out of the door. After falling down, the drunk got up and ran away in embarrassment. Before leaving, he still didn't forget to turn his head and shout to Luo Ding: "You, Luo, wait for me. This matter is not over. Wait until I find something to reason with. Let's make a good comparison."

Ignoring that person's provocation to save face, Luo Ding thanked everyone who came out to help, and then led everyone back into the house.

Shen Chenai, who stayed in the room and did not go out, was meditating in her heart at this time. The way of treating widows like brothers and brothers is not unheard of in ancient Chinese history, but most of the people who have this custom are ethnic minorities, and they have always accepted Confucianism. The ideologically educated Han nationality will never leave behind this kind of folk custom.

Shen Chenai has been here for four or five months. The people here have typical Han characteristics in terms of appearance, clothing, food, housing, and transportation. It's just that he hasn't left Luo's house too far. Is it possible that the outside world and Is what he sees different now? When Luo Ding brought people over, he saw Shen Chenai sitting in front of the window sill in a daze. Luo Ding was afraid that he might have misunderstood after hearing the quarrel outside, so he hurried Explaining to Shen Chenai: "Ah Chen, don't think too much, that man just now was talking nonsense. I never thought about marrying any woman, really don't get me wrong."

At this time, Shen Chenai was still immersed in his own thoughts. He didn't hear what Luo Ding said just now, but he vaguely knew that someone was talking to him just now, so he raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice. .

Since Shen Chenai's mind was not on talking, the eyes he looked at at this time were empty and without a trace of luster, and it seemed that his mental power was not concentrated on it.

Realizing that his state was not right, Luo Ding hurriedly took off his shoes and got on the kang in fright. The current appearance of Shen Chenai was too similar to when he just brought him home, both in that soulless state.

The guests standing aside also noticed that the situation was not good. They thought that Shen Chenai was stimulated when they heard that Luo Ding might marry a woman.

So the guests exchanged a few winks, and soon began to find excuses to say goodbye to Luo Ding.

Shen Chenai had turned back from his contemplation at this time. He looked at the farewell guests who came over one after another in surprise. Although he didn't understand why they left in such a hurry, he still nodded at them in a friendly manner, as if he was seeing off the guests. farewell words.

When the guests saw him like this, they became more certain about their guesses. They didn't see that as soon as they were about to leave, Luo Ding's Qidi would be fine. This must be waiting for them to leave, and they will be with Luo Ding Make trouble.

Thinking of how everyone here looked at Luo Ding with sympathy before they left, thinking that it was not easy to raise such a beauty, just the small temper from time to time is not something ordinary people can bear.

But Luo Ding himself is happy, and he is willing to pamper him when he is angry. Seeing his brother Qi's bright and handsome face, he would be secretly happy if he was scolded.

After almost everyone left, Mrs. Chen also got up and got off the ground to leave. Before she left, she said to Luo Ding while putting on her shoes: "I have often heard people mention that your sister-in-law who lives in the country has always Come to the city, and walk towards Fuyuan Street dressed in beautiful clothes. Recently, there are several family members whose mothers-in-law and aunts have disappeared. With such a contact, it is not difficult to guess what your sister-in-law is thinking. Yes. Her natal elder brother's visit to the door this time must not only be as simple as causing trouble, but there must be another trick waiting for you. You kid has been more careful recently, so don't accidentally be tricked by others."

Luo Ding hugged Shen Chenai and returned to Mrs. Chen: "She is willing to marry into someone else's family as a stepmother. Why should I stop her? It's just that Yuegui and Dashan must not be given to her. I don't believe in Niu Da Niu's character, my child It will never end well in her hands."

Mrs. Chen had already put on her cloth shoes at this time, and was about to go outside when she got off the kang. After hearing Luo Ding's words, she turned her head and said to him: "Your sister-in-law and her natal family are the kind of people who don't want to get out early. Temperament, Dashan and the others will definitely not want it, it is useless for them to raise a boy, it is hard to say about Yuegui, girls are precious now, it is hard to say what kind of crooked ideas their family will play."

Hearing this, Luo Ding sneered and said: "The child is the blood of our Luo family, and there is absolutely no reason to give it to someone else to raise it. It is useless for anyone to say. If she, Niu Da Niu, wants to remarry, the child must stay in the Luo family. Of course, if she doesn't remarry to my brother to watch over, then I have no problem, I still spend money to raise children as usual, and she is not bad."

Mrs. Chen laughed when she heard the words, obviously she didn't believe that Luo Ding's sister-in-law could keep it, she said with certainty: "If Niu Da Niu can bear it, then the dozen or so sows you raised would have been able to go to bed long ago. It's gone. It's all right, I won't grind my teeth with you anymore, it's getting late, the old woman will leave first, and I will come tomorrow, so you don't have to send it off."

Everyone who should go has left, and the originally lively room became deserted in an instant. Luo Ding let go of Shen Chenai's arms, and supported his shoulders to continue explaining to him. Who knew that before he could speak, Shen Chenai spoke first.

Shen Chenai, who found that the knowledge he knew was quite different from the facts, grabbed Luo Ding's skirt, and said to him word by word: "Book, hurry, here, me, book."

Luo Ding was taken aback when he heard the words, looked at his face and asked cautiously: "Ah Chen, are you not angry?"

Shen Chenai looked at him inexplicably and replied, "Why should I be angry?"

Luo Ding was very embarrassed when he heard the words, and he didn't take it seriously at all, it was all because of his superfluous thoughts.

However, Shen Chenai is not angry, which is good news for Luo Ding. As for his request to read books, Luo Ding will of course do his best to satisfy him. Bought the new book for Shen Chenai.

The books that Shen Chenai wanted were all about history, and it was not difficult to buy basic books. What surprised Luo Ding was that Shen Chenai didn't want to buy books on a whim. He was really literate, and he knew quite a few.

This kind of cognition made Luo Ding feel a little complicated. Although their land is vast and sparsely populated, the land is barren and the environment is harsh. Large areas of land are Gobi and saline-alkali land, and less than one-tenth of the land can grow crops normally.

Even if it is one-tenth of the land, less than half of it can be called good land. The meager yield of the land makes it difficult for the people who cultivate it to make ends meet. It is impossible for the children in the family to read and write. possible things.

But Fengcheng is better here, because there are two big salt lakes in Liangzhou, and if you want to transport the lake salt boiled from the salt lakes to the outside, no matter where you go, Fengcheng is the only way to get around. road.

Because of this advantage, there are many restaurants and inns in Fengcheng, and there are many powerful farmers who come to the city to serve as porters for the salt caravans and earn some copper coins with their own strength. Subsidize the household.

But even so, it is not a simple matter for ordinary people to support their children to go to school. Luo Ding thought that when he bought Shen Chenai just now, when he wiped Shen Chenai's body, he found that although Shen Chenai was at that time whole He is thin and skinny, but the skin on his body is very tender, there is no scar on it, and no calluses can be seen on his hands, plus the thing he snatched back from Ren Yazi later, although I don’t know What is it for, but the chain that goes with it alone costs more than ten taels of silver when sold, and the value of that thing will not be cheap.

All these phenomena show that Shen Chenai's original identity must not be simple, even if she is not a descendant of aristocratic family, she must be a child of a wealthy family.

Can such a family accept him as a butcher? What if one day they find them and want to take Ah Chen away? The thought of someone taking Shen Chenai away from him makes Luo Ding's heart feel like it was cut The same pain, he couldn't stand Shen Chenai leaving his side no matter what, but fortunately Shen Chenai's household registration was in his own home, as the head of the household, as long as he didn't let go, it would be difficult for others to do anything.
