I was a famous teacher in ancient times

554 Marriage
When Yang Xi and his party returned to the village, the villagers noticed the child in Yang Xi's arms. A woman ran quickly into the village. Yang Xi didn't notice it, but Zhou Ran did.

Yang Xi and his entourage had cold faces, and the villagers were too afraid to approach them. The timid villagers sat down on the ground in fear. When the villagers rushed over, Yang Xi and his entourage had already returned to their residences.

Zhou Ran has opened a medical clinic for many years. The medical clinic is famous for delivering babies. Zhou Ran often takes care of newborns herself. Don’t look at the fact that she has a lot of experience in taking care of children without being married. The child was not raised well in the mother’s womb. Clean up, some children must drink soup and medicine when they catch a cold.

There are ewes in the village, and Yang Xi asked Zhu Hong to exchange some goat milk and come back. After the baby girl was settled, Yang Xi put the baby girl outside and came in.

As for the baby girl's family, they watched from a distance, and did not step forward, waiting for how Yang Xi and his party would arrange for the baby girl.

Li Zheng's face is pale. He is not an ignorant villager. Generations in the village have valued male children. When the years are good, they are willing to raise a few female children. When the years are bad and in today's troubled times, the female children born in the past few years , except for a few households willing to raise daughters, most of them sent their daughters to the mountains.

As for what to do about marrying a daughter-in-law, their village is in the mountains and forests, and the family is strong and working hard for a long time. It is not bad, and some high betrothal gifts can be exchanged for a daughter-in-law. No one thinks there is anything wrong with living from generation to generation.

Lizheng has more knowledge, seeing that nobles respect women, he realizes that the secrets in the village cannot be discovered. He deliberately told the villagers, but they were still discovered. He hated the third sibling to death.

Yang Xi sat expressionlessly on the main seat, the courtyard was quiet, the guards standing on both sides held their hands on the handle of the knife, Lizheng swallowed in fear, his legs couldn't help trembling.

Lizheng looks down on women from the bottom of his heart, and has a deep-rooted concept that women are only passed on from generation to generation. Now the concept has to be divided into people. The woman in front of him is a noble person who can control his life and death.

Yang Xi has already heard the news of the guards' inquiries. In a village of more than 20 households, there is no secret at all with the guards' careful inquiries. Her anger is burning with reason. This village has been passed down for a hundred years. How many girls have died in so many years?

Yang Xi glanced over the low fence and looked at the villagers in the distance. Some villagers were frightened, not because they were afraid of abandoning the baby girl, but because they were afraid of the knife in the guard's hand. It's just my own child, why is the nobleman angry?
"Ha ha."

Li Zheng fell to his knees with a thud, and finally couldn't resist the mental pressure, his voice was full of panic and begged, "Please spare your life, my lord."

Yang Xi's anger was extinguished in an instant. Look, the villagers in the village had a clear understanding, but deep down they still didn't think they were wrong. Yang Xi closed his eyes. There are too many baby girls abandoned in this world. This is the tragedy of the times. , It's just that the village is not as crazy as it is.

The sunlight reflected by the long knife dazzled his eyes, and he became even more frightened, with a trembling voice, "My lord, there is no way for the village. It is difficult to raise a boy let alone a girl in this world. I will definitely not dare to do it in the future."

Yang Xi was tired, and she said that no matter how much she was concerned with her deep-rooted thoughts, she was still playing the piano against the cow, so she still had to work hard on the code, "First, the mountain village here is relocated, and second, re-register your village. Third, you study the Fa every day in your village, and listen carefully if you don’t know how to read. Fourth, if a family has abandoned a baby girl, if a baby girl is discarded, I will pay one hundred coins, and I will ask someone to save the children in the mountains and forests.”

Li Zheng shivered, except for the second one, each one was not easy, and he wondered in his heart, is the second one really that easy?
Seeing that Li was about to read, Yang Xi interrupted, "I'm not bargaining with you, I'm just informing you, of course you and the villagers don't have to listen, then you stay in the mountain village, I think this place is a good burial place. "

Yang Xi's eyes were cold, and Li Zheng's pupils were constricted. As the guards pulled out their long knives, Li Zheng hurriedly kowtowed, "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life."

Yang Xi was too lazy to look at the frightened Lizheng. As for the villagers outside, they had already run away when they drew their knives. They signaled to Xiao Liu, who threw Lizheng out of the yard by the collar.

Zhou Ran just left the room, "Sister-in-law, will it be too cheap for them?"

Yang Xi, "Where is it cheaper for them?"

Zhou Ran muttered, "Even if it's the parents and children, they killed people."

Yang Xi let out a long sigh. This terrible ancient word for filial piety is bigger than the sky. Parents treat their children as belongings, and the business is normal!
This is a problem of the times, not a person. Yang Xi said in a low tone: "Death is a relief for them, and they can only endure punishment if they live. Now they don't understand the meaning of re-registering their household registration. When they understand it, they will suffer and regret it." , As long as the interests are tied to themselves, these people will regret it."

Zhou Ran was very curious, "Sister-in-law, what's the difference between the re-registered household registration?"

Yang Xi saw that Shen Baishu was also listening, and she also hid it, "For example, no tax reduction for three generations, compulsory corvee service every year, three generations are not allowed to be officials, natural and man-made disaster relief food is halved, etc. If the new law is promulgated, these A person who knowingly commits a crime again will be punished by the law.”

The code has not been promulgated, and it is not just the village that abandons children, but it does not mean that everything is fine.

Speaking of which, there are also discarded baby girls in Ruide and Ruide, but the development of Ruide and Ruide is good, and the status of women has been improved rapidly. In the past two years, daughters have become more expensive. Apart from being crazy, no common people have abandoned their children.

Even those who are patriarchal are not stupid, Jingui is better for female babies in exchange for dowry, but shrewd ones will brainwash female babies instead.

Shen Baishu's face was a little stiff. Mr. Yang has always been very kind. Today, seeing how powerful he is, he pursed his lips and looked at Zhou Ran. It was difficult for him to follow Zhou Ran.

Yang Xi didn't know that she was putting pressure on Shen Baishu. She asked Zhu Hong to prepare a pen and paper, and sat under the shade of a tree to start writing scriptures for salvation. Knowing a little bit, and her mother-in-law is not in good health, she also wrote silently.

In the past two years, I have read a few books in Shanghe Village. It is not a letter, but a meditation through the scriptures.

Zhou Ran was too busy to write the scriptures silently, ahem, of course she was all focused on medical skills, and she had long forgotten the scriptures she read in the capital.

Mr. Yu was unwilling to see the villagers in the village anymore, so he also asked for a pen and paper to write scriptures silently.

When Zhou Ran and Shen Baishu finished processing the medicinal materials, Yang Xi had already silently written a lot of scriptures.

In the afternoon, Xiaoliu, the money collector, came back. Although the mountain village is not big, because of the strong labor force, even in troubled times, he still has some copper coins, but after paying the copper coins, there is not much left in the family.

Yang Xi stared at the copper coins collected, and felt even more panicked, so she asked Xiao Liu to bring someone to invite someone, and she continued to silently write scriptures.

Another first team of 50 guards was already watching the villagers pack their luggage, and the villager who lost the baby girl today thought that the baby girl was bad luck, not to mention wanting the baby girl to go back and wishing the baby girl died, of course, some people beat the baby girl The idea that following the nobleman will benefit you in the future.

Yang Xi didn't know that she had already made arrangements for the child. The baby girl would be sent to the newly built orphanage in Jiaozhou. They already had a complete orphanage system, so they were not afraid that the child would not be taken care of.

In the Li Mansion in Jingzhou, the head of the Li family saw off the guests from the Min family in Huizhou. After the guests left, the eldest son of the Li family and the youngest daughter from the first line came in from outside.

Miss Li was seventeen years old, the age when she was supposed to get married, but because the Li family involved too much and she was the favored youngest daughter, the head of the Li family never made an engagement for the youngest daughter.

Young Master Li saw his father frowning, "Father, the Min family in Huizhou is afraid that we will cooperate with Yang Xixuan, so they thought of marrying?"

Patriarch Li shook his head, "Even without Yang Xixuan, Huizhou is thinking about getting married."

Mr. Li looked down on the Huizhou Min family, "Father, my son thinks that cooperation with Yang Xixuan is more important."
