Yipin Tianxia

Country life is busy in the morning and evening.To take care of the fields, water and fertilize.The rest of the time, as long as it is not the busy farming season, is still very leisurely.

Yao Shiyi followed Nianfu's family to Giethoorn Village, and also bought a small vegetable plot about twenty feet square, where she planted several kinds of green vegetables and eggplants and loofahs. Watching them grow day by day, she felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart. The days are also much easier to pass than when they were in Prince Ping's Mansion.

It's just that she is a restless person. Since she has nothing to do during the day, she learned how to weave baskets from the servants in the village. Although she didn't do it very well, she never tired of it.

Yao Shiyi even had an idea, if she could live here all the time, it would be great if she didn't return to Prince Ping's Mansion?But she also knows that this kind of matter can't be decided by herself.It is said that the letter from the Mu family reporting her safety to Xuancheng should have arrived long ago, but why has there been no reply from the family so far?

Even if I run away from home, my parents will be angry, but they can't just leave me alone, right?That's all for father, but mother only has her one daughter, how could she ignore her?

But if there is news from parents, they probably want to take her back, right?Then her marriage with Hou Fangyu... Yao Shiyi's eyes darkened.

If it is said that in the past, she never felt that there was any problem between herself and Hou Fangyu, but after getting to know Nianfu, she gradually understood that there are not so many things that are taken for granted in this world.

is it possible to stop?

Yao Shiyi didn't know either.

She only knew that she still liked Hou Fangyu. She would blush when she saw him, and her heart would beat faster when she was close to him. If she saw him sad, she would be even more sad.It's like—every time Hou Fangyu looks at Nianfu.It made her feel uncomfortable like being pricked by a needle.

One lost his mind, and the small thorns on the bamboo strips stabbed hard into his hands, and immediately rolled out a bright red drop of blood.There was an inexplicable panic in my heart, so I sucked myself, and Nianfu came.

With unprecedented dignity and seriousness, he called out everyone in her room and watched her without speaking for a long while.

"If you have something to say, just say it, what's the big deal." Yao Shiyi panicked even more in her heart, but she still put on an air of indifference on her face.

Nianfu pointed to the high chair opposite.He motioned for her to sit down and talk.

Although Yao Shiyi didn't understand, she still got up from the pony and sat down in confusion. It wasn't until she sat down firmly that she realized the kindness of Nianfu.

"Your father, because of accepting bribes and assisting merchants to evade taxes, the evidence of the crime is convincing, and he has been escorted to Beijing."

"What?" Yao Shiyi blushed instantly, and stood up suddenly from the chair, "My father, my father..."

Nianfu looked at her sympathetically.Continue to finish the sentence, "The Holy Majesty has made a verdict. Your father betrayed and made a decision. All the family property was lost to the government, and his wife and children were sold into slavery."

Yao Shiyi slumped back to the chair again, her blushing face instantly turned pale, and it was clearly still broad daylight, she only felt that her eyes were going black for bursts, and she couldn't help but feel dizzy.

How could this be?

how so!

Seeing Yao Shiyi's deeply shocked appearance, Nianfu really sympathized.But this matter is really out of her hands.

There is something.Nianfu kindly concealed it, that is the reason why Yao Tongzhi was reported, and Yao Shiyi was the fuse.

These days, it was enough for her to inquire about the ins and outs of the matter very clearly.

Yao Shiyi ran away from home to find Hou Fangyu, it was just a joke.But the problem is that Yao Tongzhi once wanted to give this daughter to the governor as a concubine, and this matter was done in a very low-key manner, and many people knew about it.There is no conclusion yet on this matter, but people ran away, what do others say?

It is human nature, and the first thing that comes to mind is that the governor is so old, and in the eyes of a little girl, he is definitely not as attractive as a young and strong boy.

However, this kind of talk has been passed around a lot, and rumors about Lord Inspector's incompetence have gradually spread in the market, and the more they say it, the worse it sounds.

This kind of thing, even a man can't stand it.

Lord Inspector was extremely furious, as soon as he made a move, it was a killer move.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Corruption in officialdom has always existed. As long as it is controlled to an appropriate degree, the court will turn a blind eye.

The problem is that Yao Tongzhi, or Fifth Madam shouldn't have blackmailed the 5000 taels of silver from the Hou family.

This matter had been stirred up for a while at that time, but Hou Fangyu persuaded it to go on.However, there were still rumors. Behind him, Yao Tongzhi deliberately made things difficult and suppressed the Hou family a few times, but all of them fell.

In the end, after sorting it out in the hands of the governor, it turned out that Yao Tongzhi and the Hou family colluded. Later, due to the uneven distribution of spoils, internal strife occurred, so they each hit [-] boards. The capital was held accountable.

If you don't make a move in the officialdom, it's fine. If you make a move, you will kill someone.

When Nianfu brought back the first information he found out and discussed it with Mu Shaoqin, he accurately judged, "The Yao family will collapse. As for the Hou family, it is impossible to retreat completely. But the crime is not fatal. Let them prepare money to atone for their sins."

As a result, the Hou family almost exhausted the country that the old master Hou worked hard all his life, and finally saved the lives of Hou Xianglin and his wife.

The Yao family was not so lucky.

The facts are all there, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and there are still people who have pursued Yao Tongzhi's ethics of taking concubines from brothels as his wives all these years, regardless of superiority or inferiority. His death is a certainty.

As for Yao Shiyi's own mother, the fifth wife who had been blessed for half her life, she had a better look than Yao Tongzhi. On the way to Beijing, she picked up a pack of rat medicine, took the poison and committed suicide.

A newly established home collapsed in such an instant.

After Nianfu heard about it, he was momentarily confused and unable to bear it.

Yes, even if Yao Shiyi has never done anything bad, but as the daughter of a corrupt criminal, every meal she eats and every piece of clothing she wears at home has money from her father's corruption, so she is an accomplice , It's nothing to be punished.

But what Nianfu couldn't accept was that it was too cruel to turn someone from a good citizen into a slave overnight, without a chance to stand up for a lifetime!

But Mu Shaoqin told her daughter seriously, "So, if you don't want others to be cruel to you one day, you have to manage connections and influence that people can't ignore. Like that Yao Tongzhi, if his things happened to others, it would be like Speaking of Wang Can, at most he was dismissed from office. But his foundation is still shallow, and he acted so carelessly, and he can only blame himself for this ending."

Nianfu understood that persimmons should be picked soft ones, if you want not to be pinched, you have to make a hard persimmon.

She now has a father and a cousin as a backer, and her background is strong enough, but this is not enough, she has to make more friends, and more people are willing to associate with her, that is her own foundation.

So although Nianfu seemed to be playing wildly in the farm these days, when she went back at night, she also wrote a lot of letters and sent a lot of things to the capital.

For example, Princess Yongning received the little grasshopper from Nianfu, and Princess Zhenshun received pumpkin flowers in the book. These small gifts full of local flavor are not expensive, but very interesting. It was a short and lively letter, which made them raise their eyebrows in comfort, and at the same time sent her short stories from some parents in the capital.

Sometimes the friendship between people does not care about the amount of money, it is in the little details.

But right now, Nianfu will face an extremely severe test for her.After receiving the definite news from the capital, she had to come to Yao Shiyi in person and tell her about her family's misfortune.

"You have two choices now. One is to surrender to the government and let the government sell you. The other is to sell yourself to me and be my servant."

When Nianfu said this, she didn't dare to look into Yao Shiyi's eyes, but she forced herself to look.Because Mu Shaoqin told her that if she really wanted to help her, there was only one way, and she had to learn to face all these things after chanting blessings.

Nianfu is not a person of this era. Although there are many servants in the family, most of them are not in charge of Nianfu. Even Zhong Shan has long been reduced to slavery.

But Yao's poetry is different.

When Nianfu knew her, she was a free person. Putting aside those prejudices, she should be regarded as a girl from a good family.She even had the opportunity to marry Hou Fangyu and be the wife of a wealthy businessman, but now, she has to be a servant of others. Such a gap, let alone going through it, even thinking about it, makes it extremely difficult to read a blessing.

But she has to face all this, because Nianfu knows that she will also be the head of the family in the future, and not only her own wealth and life, but also the countless people behind her are burdened on her shoulders.So no matter how difficult it was, she forced herself to raise her head to see clearly what Yao Shiyi looked like right now.

Even if she was stimulated by the sadness and despair on her face and wanted to run away in the next second, she still had to sit there and stare at her steadfastly.

The sunlight that leaked through the windows crept in and out.

The two girls just sat quietly, facing the same cruel test in their lives.

I don't know how long it took before I was finally freed from this heavy and almost suffocating situation.

She didn't cry, but Yao Shiyi's voice became hoarse, "If... I sell myself to you, will I still have a chance to see my father? Or, I have to be sent back to the slave house to see him?"

Nianfu thought he was nodding his head, but actually his jaw moved slightly, and his voice trembled, "I'll help you arrange it."

Then, with heavy steps, he left.

When she walked out of this door, she heard a hoarse, sad, suppressed cry like a lost lamb, which made her feel as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.

But Nianfu forced herself to stand there, listened for a long time, and then swore in her heart: In this life, she would never let her family members fall into such a situation and cry like this!

It was at this moment that she had a deeper understanding of why Ouyang Kang would rather annoy Su Cheng than go on a mission.

Because of him, he also wanted to better protect their family.

He is working hard, so he has to work harder.
