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

   County Prince Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the Gu family was willing to cover up for them, then the matter would not be too big.

   Xie Yi relaxed the tension in his eyes, and glanced at Gu Jingyun gratefully.

Chonghua County Master was also very grateful to Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu. Seeing Li Baolu's brows with sadness and thinking of the child who was still in the hands of the traffickers, he hurriedly borrowed someone from Prince Cheng, "Brother, all of them have been found now, you Recall all the soldiers of the government, and let them go to Baoding to help find someone. One by one, they are out of the sea of ​​misery, but there are still many children in the hands of those traffickers."

   Prince Cheng nodded without hesitation, "I'll let someone go."

   County Prince Cheng and County Lord Chonghua took Xie Yi to leave. Because of the urgency of time, they did not wait for Qu Weizhen and the others to wake up to thank them.

The Duke of Cheng and the Lord of Chonghua came in white clothes, and outsiders did not know it. Li Baolu also knew that their concerns did not send people outside the door, but only sent them to the gate and watched them get into the car and leave. .

  Gu Jingyun saw that Bao Lu was in a bad mood, and reached out to hold her and comforted her: "There are quite a few soldiers in the Prince's Mansion. If there are clues, the chances of finding someone are still very high, so don't worry."

  Li Baolu nodded slightly, now she can only wait for the news.

   Qu Weizhen and Qu Jingxi hurried back to Beijing so tired that they didn't get up until they slept until three poles in the morning, and only came to see Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu after eating.

  The two of them handed in their homework respectfully first, saying that although they had gone home, they still studied hard and practiced hard, did not dare to slack off, and did not miss their homework.

  Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu flipped through their workbooks, nodded slightly, and asked, "Is the journey safe?"

Qu Weizhen nodded, "We didn't meet a bandit, and we didn't see Roadhog. We returned home safely. When we returned to Beijing, apart from meeting Xie Yi, everything went well. The guards said that the life of the common people in the past two years has been better than before. So the road is better."

  Gu Jingyun nodded in satisfaction.

During the time of the first emperor, various miscellaneous taxes were constant, there were many corrupt officials, and the Crown Prince and the four princes were constantly fighting, so the life of the people in Da Chu was not easy. .

   The road is also very uneven.

After the Emperor Taishang was enthroned, he rectified the government for five years, reduced or exempted taxes every year, and resettled the refugees. In addition, except for some small disasters in the past two years, the weather in most places in Da Chu has been good, and the people have a better life. Naturally, there are fewer people willing to take risks on the road to commit crimes. .

   And the border has been stable in recent years, Da Chu and Tatar barely live in peace, and the border market is open. There is no need to fight, and the Ministry of Household's expenditure on military expenses has also been reduced, and most of the money saved is used for water conservancy construction.

   It is also for this reason that Gu Jingyun gave up and only hired two bodyguards to let their children go on the road.

   After listening to what they saw and heard on the road, the two began to listen to their story about the Qu family.

  The days of the composer are much better than before.

   Not to mention that the weather is good, but that the lack of food and drink for the two children has made them much better.

Qu’s father and Qu’s mother love their son the most. In the past, nearly half of the food and clothing expenses at home were spent on Qu Jingxi. After Qu Jingxi left, the two were more stingy than before. With rice bran and weeds, the three sisters of the Qu family would not starve to death.

   As a result, the couple accumulated a lot of coins, and the money sent back by Qu Jingxi was all saved by the couple to be used as a betrothal gift for their son to marry a daughter-in-law in the future.

  The three sisters of the Qu family also left nothing, or Qu Weizhen had foresight. She never sent money to her parents. The things she sent back through the inn were either rough clothes and cotton-padded clothes that had been made, or all kinds of bacon.

Each set of coarse cloth and cotton-padded clothes was made strictly according to the stature of the three sisters of the Qu family. Fortunately, the stinginess of the Qu family was not only towards their daughters, but also towards their relatives, so the clothes sent back were still left behind. On the body of the three sisters of the Qu family.

After a year of hard work, Qu Weizhen reached a cooperation intention with the **** who delivered the letter. When he sent the letter, he would secretly send money to the three sisters of the Qu family, but Qu Weizhen wanted to give him 10% of the payment. .

  Qu Jingxi once did not understand why her sister would rather spend this unjustly wasted money than send money just like him.

   He knew that his parents were stingy, but he felt that the family environment was good and the money was more, the parents would always be kind to the sisters.

   Then he came home this time to realize how wrong he was.

  My parents are still stingy, they still eat steamed buns mixed with more than half of rice bran for their sisters, and there are still no rice grains in the porridge they eat.

   Except for the Chinese New Year, there is no meat and fish in the house, it should be said that the sisters do not have meat and fish.

   If you have money, your parents will also buy meat, but the meat is hidden and eaten by yourself, not the sisters.

   Qu Jingxi, who returned home, was dragged to his parents' room on the first night to open a small stove with them, while his sisters ate wild vegetable buns in the main room.

  Qu Jingxi almost cried, but no matter what he told his parents, they didn't agree.

  Daughters are all married off when they grow up. Married daughters are like water poured out. What’s the use of feeding them well?

  Qu Jingxi only felt stuffy in her chest, as if a stone was blocked.

   He wanted to ask his parents, is the daughter not your child, not your blood?

  Whether it is useful or not, is there no father-daughter love, mother-daughter love?

   However, looking at his parents happily, all Qu Jingxi's words were stuck in her throat. Forget it, she knew it was useless to say it, why should she say it?

  Qu Weizhen was much more calm about this. She calmly ate wild vegetable buns with her sisters, and then went into the house to sleep with them. She mainly asked about their living conditions at home and the marriage of the eldest sister.

   But apart from what you ate at home and what you did in the fields, the sisters could answer them, and everyone else asked three questions.

   Qu Zhaodi's marriage was decided, but she didn't know anything about the other party's surname except Wang.

  Qu Weizhen almost vomited out a mouthful of blood.

   But she knows that she can't blame the eldest sister, because she has been like this since she was a child, obeying her parents and taking good care of her younger siblings.

   Qu Weizhen could only inquire by himself, to inquire.

Qu's father and Qu's mother found out that she couldn't control her third daughter and became furious and beat Qu Weizhen, but in the end Qu Weizhen won. She yelled at her parents who almost wanted to kill her: "I'm a teacher. My disciple, if you kill me, my brother won’t even think about it!”

Qu Jingxi hugged her third sister and cried: "The reason why my husband accepted me as a disciple was because he was attracted to my sister's intelligence. If you hurt my sister, my husband will not want me again. Father, mother , I want to study, I want to be an official!"

   Qu's father and Qu's mother did not dare to do it again.

   Qu Weizhen and Qu Jingxi used this golden cudgel to force their parents to break off their engagement with the Wang family. Qu Weizhen arranged a marriage for her eldest sister and married her eldest sister in person before leaving.

Facing Li Baolu, Qu Weizhen didn't hide her words, she lowered her head and wiped her tears and said, "The Wang family looked at the wealth and told my father that they wanted to marry my sister because of my younger brother's future. There are quite a few dowry gifts, twenty taels."

She pouted: "As a result, I went to find out, my sister married to do a sequel, and the son surnamed Wang is two years older than my sister, and he still has the habit of beating his wife, who is he? , I will not agree to these two points."

  Li Baolu praised: "Well done, then what kind of husband did you find for your sister?"

Qu Weizhen said in a low voice: "The family background is only slightly stronger than mine. Fortunately, their family is of good character, the parents-in-law are kind, and the brothers are harmonious. My brother-in-law is named Liu. The dowry built a tea shop at the entrance of their village, specially for passers-by to rest their feet and drink tea. With the family’s farm income, it won’t be too sad.”

   "Their village is next to the official road?"

   "Yes," Qu Weizhen said, "Sir, you must have been there. It's just three miles outside of Runing City. I've seen it after the tea shop opened, and there are quite a few people resting."

Also considering the situation of Liu's family and Liu's village, at that time Qu Weizhen did not exchange silver for bracelets or the like, but direct dowry cash. The tea shop opened in this way was considered as Qu Zhaodi's dowry, and Liu's family was not good. intervene.

   Even if most of the money they make has to be handed over to the public school, her eldest sister and her husband also have a source of private money, so life will not be too difficult.

   Her eldest sister's health is too bad. Qu Weizhen, who has learned some simple medical knowledge from Li Baolu, knows that her eldest sister needs to eat eggs and red dates for a long time to condition her body.

   She still has a second sister and a younger sister to take care of. She can't help the second sister who is already married. She can only find a fixed source of support for her.

   Before she left, she talked to her eldest brother-in-law, and the other party promised to cook at least one egg for her sister to prepare her body every day.

  Gu Jingyun glanced at Qu Jingxi, who had his head lowered, and asked, "Are you sad?"

  Qu Jing's eyes were red.

   Gu Jingyun continued to ask hard, "Then have you thought about how you will treat your parents and sisters in the future?"

   Li Baolu and Qu Weizhen also looked over.

  Qu Jingxi bit her lip and did not speak.

Qu Weizhen felt distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her brother's hand and defended him: "Sir, Jingxi takes good care of us, this time I can let the eldest sister marry with a dowry because of him, otherwise my parents will be beaten. When I get to the Liu family, I will take back the dowry."

  Gu Jingyun insisted on watching Qu Jingxi.

  Qu Jingxi broke away from the third sister's hand, knelt down and said, "I will be filial to my parents, but I will also love my sisters. In the future, I will give more money to the third sister to save."

   Qu Jingxi's money has always been divided into three parts, one is kept for herself, the other is sent back to her parents, and the other is given to Qu Weizhen to save as a dowry for her sisters.

  Because I thought the money sent back to my parents could be used by my sisters, so the proportion of this money is not small, but after returning home this time, Qu Jingxi felt that she could adjust the proportion.

  Gu Jingyun stretched out his hand and touched his head, "You have done a good job, sir, this question is just to let you straighten your heart. Your parents are good parents to you, and your sisters are also good sisters to you."

   What moved him at first was the friendship between Qu Jingxi and his sisters, and Gu Jingyun didn't want him to be troubled by it.
