Huniu and Achou seemed to have done this kind of climbing over the wall frequently. They were as strong and strong as gymnasts, and the earth wall was as high as one person. Huniu jumped lightly and landed safely without making a sound.
"Ah Chou, drop the package first..." Huniu lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry, it's not even higher than the wall in our backyard, at least three feet lower..."
Ah Chou was much less timid than Hu Niu. She squirmed and rubbed against the wall, "Miss, I'm scared!" She didn't dare to jump down for a long time. But in the end she couldn't hold the young lady back, so she gritted her teeth and jumped off with her eyes closed.
It's broken. When the little girl jumped down from the wall, her left foot slipped and her body posture changed. Now she didn't touch the ground with her feet first, but her butt must have landed. Just because of the little girl's skinny strength, this time The fall didn't break the disc in my waist.
With a cry, A Chou felt that he had fallen into a soft place, and someone was spraying in front of him. When A Chou opened his eyes and took a look through the weak light, he was stunned.
"Xiao...Xiao...Xiao..." The girl said Xiao three times without even saying a complete sentence. In the end, her mind suddenly turned upside down and she fainted. She was not hurt, she suddenly remembered that she was being held in a man's arms, and she fainted from shyness.
It was Xiao Letian who caught Ah Chou. He looked at this little girl with yellow hair who was only thirteen or fourteen with an embarrassed look on his face, sighed and shook his head. I wonder if this girl and I are in conflict with each other? Do you faint every time you see me?
At this time, Huniu was covering her mouth. Her eyes were full of shiny things. It looked like she would scream or cry if she didn't cover her mouth. Mr. Xiao, who had been thinking about it day and night, appeared in front of her like a magic trick.
I don’t know why, but at that moment Huniu wanted to throw herself into Xiao Letian’s arms and cry out for all the grievances she had suffered in the past half month.
The fat shopkeeper and his waiter saw that there was no one on the street, so they quickly took the maid from the military advisor and took her to the pot shop through the side door of the kitchen. Xiao Letian looked at Huniu with a bad smile, "Okay, the eldest lady of the Fan family has actually learned how to climb over the wall. This is not a good girl. She has forgotten the three obediences and four virtues? I will punish you later by copying the "Female Commandments" ten times..."
Xiao Letian meant it as a joke, but he didn't expect Huniu's eyes to stand up at that moment, and her whole body exuded the aura of a tigress.
"I didn't expect you to be such a person? I'm blind and misjudged you. If you return A Chou to me, you and I won't know each other from now on..." Good guy, Huniu actually held back her tears. , his eyes were extremely cold.
Oops, this person really lives up to her name. She is indeed a little tigress. How can she fall out with her so easily? Xiao Letian was stunned. I had traveled hundreds of miles and yet I still ended up complaining?
"This is not the place to talk. Let's talk in the store first..."
"No, what's the point of me, a grown-up girl, coming into your room? Is this a rule written in the women's commandments? Is it three obediences and four virtues?"
Wu Chang understood as soon as he heard it. It turned out that it was his joke that caused the trouble. He really didn't expect Huniu's rebellious thoughts to be so serious. Is this a precursor to breaking through the shackles of feudal ethics? Xiao Letian hurriedly coaxed and persuaded, apologized and finally brought Huniu into the side door.
But no one noticed that just when Wu Chang coaxed Huniu into the pot shop, a pair of sly eyes were staring at him from inside the courtyard wall.
In the private room of the hotpot restaurant, with tears in her eyes, Huniu recounted what had happened in the past half month or so. Xiao Letian's nose almost became angry. His previous impressions of feudal ethics were from books and film and television works. What was instilled in him was finally seen in reality today.
The origin of the whole incident lies in the 110,000 taels of silver that was robbed. Shopkeeper Fan is Huniu's father Fan Jian. He is the serious second boss of the Fan family in Shanxi, and his brother Fan Ru is the head of the family.
The Fan family in Shanxi has a long history. It was once the head of the eight Shanxi merchant families. Fan Yongdou, the ancestor of the Fan family, put in a lot of effort when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. He worked extremely hard to raise supplies and food. Please come to more and faster chapters. As a result, during the Shunzhi period, the emperor personally received him in Beijing and granted him the status of imperial merchant in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He even granted him all the extra-oral business in Zhangjiakou.
Later, the descendants of the Fan family were also very promising. They participated in the salt business and the copper business with Japan. They were famous wealthy businessmen in the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong. However, in the forty-eighth year of Qianlong's reign, the Fan family was completely in decline. Due to large losses, the Qing government took away the name of Huangshang and seized all family properties. At this point, the Fan family was in ruins.
However, in more than a hundred years, the Fan family's expenses were scattered, and many descendants and descendants hoped to restore the glory of the family. From the early years of Daoguang, this branch of the Fan family began to expand slowly with the support of countless Shanxi ministers. , and founded the current Guangde account.
Huniu's father Fan Jian is the brother of Fan Ru, the current head of the Fan family. Updated as soon as possible Fan Yan is a very pure businessman. In his ideal, he does not want to restore his family's status as an imperial merchant in the past, because in his view, cooperation with the royal family is actually the most dangerous business, and it can make you a temporary success. It will definitely not last forever.
But his brother Fan Ru didn't think so. His ideal was not only to become an imperial merchant, but he also hoped that more and more Confucian scholars would appear in the family, and that in the future, many candidates would take the imperial examinations and become high-ranking officials.
These two different values have caused the two brothers to quarrel for a lifetime, but nothing came out of the quarrel. Fan Ru is the eldest brother and the well-deserved head of the family. Of course, people have to listen to him. Fan Lian is the backbone of the family business, and he earns 70% of the family's money.
As a result, the two brothers had been fighting for a lifetime without saying who to persuade. Until now, both of them were sixty or seventy years old, and the quarrel became more and more fierce. Even at the beginning of spring, Fan Ru actually forced Fan Yan's concubine to death. Hu Niu’s biological mother.
"My uncle...my uncle has been very ill since the Chinese New Year. The doctor said it was typhoid fever and I'm afraid he won't survive. Wuwuwu..." Huniu cried while telling a story from the beginning of the year. "At that time, my father was running away from home. My uncle and his wife are in charge of business matters in the mansion. My mother begged her countless times, but they insisted that it was against etiquette and said that she had already returned home once on the second day of the Lunar New Year and could not return to her parents' home that month. unless……"
"Unless my uncle dies..." Hu Niu couldn't bear it anymore and lay on the table crying bitterly.
Poor, really pitiful, Xiao Letian hugged Huniu's shoulders, and the little girl dived into Xiao Letian's arms without any courtesy, smearing his body with snot and tears. Please come to more and faster chapters.
As Huniu cried intermittently, Xiao Letian knew the tragedy behind it. As a concubine, Huniu's own mother was so courageous that she took her daughter and carried her private money back to her parents' home without the permission of the head of the family.
This is the end of the world. In the feudal dynasty, let alone a concubine, even if the eldest wife wants to return to Ning, there are still rules. How dare any woman in the world dare to return to her parents' home without the permission of the master? This was really earth-shaking, not to mention that it was the critical moment when Fan Ru was working hard to return to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If this spread, wouldn't it give his competitors a pretext?
Huniu's uncle Fan Ru aggressively took his servants to Huniu's uncle's house to ask for someone. In Fan Ru's eyes, Huniu's uncle was probably going to die, otherwise this woman wouldn't be so courageous. But unexpectedly, as soon as the brother and sister met, the uncle's typhoid fever symptoms were relieved by three points because he was in a good mood, and he was about to recover.
"You unruly bitch, you have already violated the family law by escaping back to your parents' home without permission. Now you have even added the crime of deception. You are simply lawless..." Fan Ru gave the order, and the tiger and wolf-like servants took Huniu away. My mother-in-law was brought home.
It was the beginning of spring but the cold of spring. Huniu's mother knelt in the cold courtyard for a whole day and night, and passed out from the cold that night. What's even more shameful is that when Huniu asked her uncle to ask a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, Fan Ru refused.
"You have deceived us once and want to deceive our Fan family a second time? That bitch is always good at pretending to be sick. If you don't pay attention to her, she will be fine in two days..." Huniu had already cried so much that she almost died. "I ... I climbed over the wall secretly and used the money I saved to hire a doctor. But... I brought the doctor but he couldn't even get through the door... In just one and a half months, my mother turned from typhoid fever to consumption. Coughing up blood all night long, whining..."
Xiao Letian's heart froze when he heard this. He didn't expect that a large feudal family could be so cruel. Isn't this a disregard for human life? Xiao Letian hugged Huniu tightly, and she was trembling in his arms like a frightened little rabbit.
No wonder Huniu’s personality is so outgoing, outgoing and even a little rebellious. It turns out there is a reason. Poor girl, you are so insecure.
"Okay, don't cry. Let bygones be bygones. Now let's talk about the crisis at hand. Why did you jump over the wall to escape?" Xiao Letian asked.
"It's not because of my damn uncle. He killed my mother, and now he's paying attention to me. He...he actually asked me to marry a sixty-year-old man as a concubine..." Huniu His face was already red with anger.
When Xiao Letian listened to Hu Niu's introduction, he almost lost his temper. How could there be such a shameless uncle in the world, giving away his own niece as a doorstep?
It turned out that Fan Ru, in order to restore his family's identity as an imperial merchant, had managed to get into the relationship with the director of the Qingxiling Mausoleum of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When he learned that the old pervert Second Master Guilian was planning to take a concubine into his sixth house, this current man The uncle reminds me of his rebellious niece.
When Fan Ru, who was in Beijing, learned that his brother had lost 110,000 in cash, instead of getting angry, he slapped his thigh repeatedly and shouted for a good opportunity. He finally found a good way to convince his troubled brother.
Fan Ru wrote a long letter to his brother. When Fan Jian saw this shameless letter from his own brother, he suddenly fell ill because he was just a little cold. He was so angry.
Not only Fan Ru and his daughter were angry, but now Xiao Letian was also going crazy. He was wandering around the room like a trapped animal for a full quarter of an hour. He seemed to have made up his mind, "Xiao Hexin, come in quickly. Let's go see Shopkeeper Fan right away. Let me see what you are capable of..."
Before Xiao Letian could finish speaking, three people in night uniforms walked in outside the box. The first one was Xiao Hexin. "Commander, don't worry. I still have this bit of intelligence. We have sneaked in just now." For once, there are no masters inside..."
Xiao Letian looked back at Huniu and gently wiped her tears with his palms, "Just wait and see, I will bring you good news tonight..."
