Fight the Giants

  After listening to his grandfather's question, Huo Xi nodded.

"Interplanting can bring more income to the field. First, the family still produces velvet flowers and needs silk. Second, if the field pays taxes with silk, it can be easier. Although silkworm rearing is hard work, it needs to be taken care of day and night, but the silkworm room Built indoors, it also saves my grandmother, aunt and two cousins ​​from working hard in the wind and sun."

   "If your grandmother hears that you are always thinking about them, she might shed tears again." Li Shimian looked at her with relief.

   After speaking, he looked at the newly opened wasteland.

"When Taizu first established the dynasty, all kinds of wastes were waiting for prosperity. In order to prevent famine, the Ministry of Industry once ordered the people to plant mulberry, jujube and cotton in case of apologetics. The interplanting that Sister Ning mentioned has the same effect."

  Li Shimian thinks that the interplanting mentioned by Sister Ning is even more vivid.

  Huo Xi smiled, "Then grandpa will just watch it."

He also suggested: "When reporting the 15 acres of land reclaimed this time, it is better to record it under the name of my cousin. She is a good citizen, and it can be placed in her dowry to avoid some disputes. In the future, as her identity It is convenient to hire long-term tenants, ask people to help with farming, or buy farm tools and cattle."

   Except for the grandfather, the rest of the men in the family have to do hard labor, and the family has to hand over a lot of grain every season. There are only a few women in the family, and it is impossible to come to such a land.

   It is also inconvenient to hire someone to farm as a refugee.

   "Exactly. Thanks to Ning's reminder. When you go back, your grandfather will tell your cousin to ask her to ask your in-laws to do it." Li Shimian was very pleased that Ning thought of everything for the family.

   After being relieved, I was a little sad.

  His such a good granddaughter deserves a better life. Although Sister Ning didn't tell them, Mama Ma had already told about the disruption of her marriage, and the old wife couldn't help crying when she heard this.

  It's all their family, and it's bothering Xinrou and two children.

   "Grandfather?" Why did he suddenly become dazed.

   "Huh? Ah, when you get old, it's easy to lose your mind." Li Shimian came back to his senses, smiled at her, and the grandparents and grandchildren walked side by side on the slope.

   "Sister Ning..."

"Um?"

   "Your father's letter, my grandfather showed it to you..."

  Huo Xi paused, pursed his lips, and remained silent.

Li Shimian saw it and sighed, "Sister Ning, in this life, people will encounter all kinds of ups and downs. No matter how valuable the status is, everything is not going well. You will encounter all kinds of things. Faced with all kinds of choices, sometimes in order to achieve the goal, you have to compromise, bow your head, and even do something against your will."

Looking forward: "Grandfather is an old minister of the former dynasty. He is loyal and dedicated to the people. The current emperor has exiled our family in this desolate and miasma-filled place without freedom. Grandfather has resentment in his heart. But if he can forgive our family, Even if my grandfather prostrates himself at his feet, kowtows to him, and says some praises, my grandfather is willing."

  His back was bent, and the great ambition he made when he entered the official career, "for the country, for the country, for the common people", seems to be dissipating soon.

  It is not a pity for him to die, but his sons, grandchildren, and his family are still struggling...

  If there is a glimmer of hope, he is willing to do everything he does not want to do, and sacrifice his life in exchange for the peace of the family.

   "Sister Ning..." Li Shimian looked at Huo Xi with a serious expression.

"Regardless of whether your father knew about it or allowed your family members to do to your mother, you have no other choice now. You must gain your father's trust and support. Otherwise, there is no hope for your siblings to return to the Zhang Mansion .”

  Huo Xi lowered his head and clenched his teeth.

Li Shimian sighed: "Zhang Fu is a capable minister and general of the Wei Dynasty. Today's emperor has great ambitions and great wishes. He still has a lot to do. The grassland people in the north are like the thorns on his back. With pirates, the dynasty seems unstable, and he has to rely on these capable ministers and generals in his hands. Zhang Fu's opinion is very important."

  Li Shimian looked straight at Huo Xi: "Zhang Fu said that you are blood and blood, but you are not. If he said that you are impersonators, you are not."

  Huo Xi suddenly shuddered after hearing this.

   Clenched fists. Yes, in today's powerful society, she and Nian'er are still too insignificant, Wang is his biological mother, if he wants to cover up this matter, she and Nian'er are not the same.

  Then her mother's revenge can no longer be avenged. Huo Xi shed tears in a daze.

Li Shimian was very sad, stepped forward to comfort her, and patted her on the back: "Don't worry, we still have time, grandpa will help you." His daughter's revenge must be avenged, and the Zhang family must give them A confession.

   "Yes." Huo Xi nodded.

   Seeing that she still didn't want to understand, Li Shimian continued to persuade her softly.

"The most important thing now is to help your brother get back his identity. Nothing else is worth it. Some people have some things that they can't deal with for the time being, so they can only let it go, even if they want to make excuses, and wait for the future to accumulate energy. Come and annihilate them in one fell swoop.”

"yes."

  Li Shimian sighed, "Your mother is not alone. In this village of exile, there are many daughters who married out, who committed suicide or were forced to kill themselves, or were divorced... Your mother is just one of them."

  Thinking of his poor daughter, Li Shimian felt a pain in his heart.

"At that time, the Yan army went all the way south, and the people regarded the emperor of the capital as orthodox, and regarded the Yan army as a rebel, and the resistance was fierce. The Yan army broke the city, and the looting and massacres were very serious along the way. In the Central Plains, the people fled without killing. When they reached the capital, they almost slaughtered all the courtiers of the old dynasty, but no one was spared if they resisted even a little bit, and the consequences were extensive. At that time, everyone was in danger. They were afraid of being implicated, and even their heads would be lost."

  Li Shimian still has lingering fears when he recalls the past. But his granddaughter was involved in these court affairs, and she couldn't be deaf and dark-sighted, so she didn't know everything.

   "It was only half a month since the Li family was imprisoned and exiled. Your father was leading troops in the north at that time, and he wanted to exonerate the Li family. I am afraid that he has not received any news."

  Li Shimian sighed: "Your father refused to listen to his family's marriage to a general's daughter, so he took a fancy to your mother and tortured me for a long time. Back then, he treated your mother with sincerity..."

  Huo Xi bit her lip, bowed her head and remained silent.

"Sister Ning, my grandfather said these old things to tell you that now the Zhang family is a servant of Long Xunchen, your father Jane is in the emperor's heart, and there is a noble concubine in the palace. Such a family cannot be head-to-head. Otherwise, your siblings People, even if their bodies are smashed to pieces, they will not be able to achieve their goals.”

  The mother of the imperial concubine cannot bear such a stigma. It's a pity that he can't do anything now, and has to watch the two children bear all this.

  Li Shimian didn't expect Huo Xi to figure it out all at once.

  He only explained the current situation to her one by one. Now she and Nian'er are eggs, and the other side is a hard rock, hitting a rock with an egg is a stupid move.
