The peasant girl strikes: Mr., you have to be good

Chapter 340 A Pair of Simple and Elegant Shoes
They went to the main hall, the servants served tea, and then walked out, even Xiao Han'er and Xia Chunyun were not there.

"Sister-in-law, I made you a pair of embroidered shoes. I saw that you like to wear pink and white, so I embroidered a pair of white shoes for you. You will look good with whatever clothes you wear." Yin Susu took out the shoes, Let Jinxuan try it on and see if she can wear it.

Jinxuan saw that the embroidered shoes were very delicate and elegant, and she liked them very much. She took the shoes to the screen and tried them on, and they just fit.

"Susu, you are so kind to me, this is the first time I have received shoes made by a good sister."

Jinxuan put away the embroidered shoes preciously, these embroidered shoes are even better than those made by the embroidered girls.

She really likes it very much, and it is not out of date to wear it this season.

"I'm afraid you don't like it, as long as you like it."

"Susu's hands are really clever. She can go to the hall and go to the kitchen. If that man marries her, it will be a blessing for three lifetimes." Matchmaker Zhou wanted to be a matchmaker for Yin Susu again. More or less, she wanted to match them up.

"Susu, didn't your mother find someone for you?"

Why did Grandma Qiao bring this up? She doesn't want to get married yet. She wants to earn some money for the family and remarry later.

"I don't want to look for it for now." Out of politeness, Yin Susu still answered Zhou Matchmaker.

Matchmaker Zhou didn't think so, she gave Yin Susu the example of Jinxuan.

"Your sister-in-law is only 14 years old, and she will marry your brother Zichen. You are older than her, so you can find her too."

"Grandma Qiao, you know better than me how I married Brother Zichen. To be honest, I was lucky to meet Brother Zichen. If I met that kind of scumbag, I would be miserable."

Jinxuan does not approve of getting married at such a young age. In ancient times, people were adults at the age of 15, and some married and had children at the age of 12. It is really too young, and she still can't accept it.

"Miss, do you mean that if you go back to before we got married, you might not want me?" Song Zichen teased Jinxuan, who laughed and said, "If before we got married, my family didn't have those top products, I definitely wouldn't do that I will marry you when I am young, and I will at least play until I am in my 20s before getting married."

"That's not an old girl. This girl won't be able to get married after she's 20 years old!" Matchmaker Zhou didn't agree with Jin Xuan's rhetoric. She personally thought that marriage should be done earlier. The older the girl, the less likely she would be able to get married.

"Grandma Qiao, it's not me who knocked you down. My fourth sister also got married in her 20s, so you're the matchmaker." Jinxuan also joked with Matchmaker Zhou.

"That's true. Marriage is all about fate. Although you were forced to marry Zichen back then, you were fully capable of regretting the marriage, but you didn't. This shows that you have Zichen in your heart."

Matchmaker Zhou knew that Jinxuan had a hard time in the past, and it was also Gao's fault.

In just a few months, Mrs. Gao has died. What a big change!
"Grandma Qiao, no matter what, I still want to thank you. If it weren't for your matchmaker, I wouldn't have met such a good man." They, she will not meet happiness.

With Song Zichen, she is really happy. Song Zichen is the person who understands her best. With just one look from her, Song Zichen knows what she wants.

"It's really my blessing to have me in your heart." Song Zichen looked at Jinxuan dotingly, his eyes met with tenderness.

"Brother Zichen, my sister-in-law is so nice, you should treat her even better."

Yin Susu is very envious of the love between Jinxuan and Song Zichen. Their husband and wife respect and support each other. This is the marriage she wants. If her future man is the kind of person who only wants to take, she would rather not marry for the rest of her life.

"Susu, let's talk about business." Song Zichen returned to the subject, Yin Susu's family has two males, if one of them is taken to be a strong male, the life of their family does not know how to live.

Although being a soldier does not have to pay poll tax, his life will be in danger at any time, and Zhou Tong is not qualified to be a soldier, he looks like a frail scholar.

The court forced the common people to join the army, not for the sake of defending their families, but for their own selfishness, which Song Zichen could not tolerate.

"Susu, the imperial court is going to recruit soldiers, and I kept you guys here to discuss this matter."

Song Zichen talked about conscription, and Yin Susu was taken aback. Once conscription, either her father or her younger brother would go to the battlefield. Now the court's taxes are really heavy, and they can't live happily.

"Is it voluntary conscription or forced conscription?" Zhou Zhicheng asked.

"I heard that it was forced conscription. I have a good relationship with Zian, so he revealed it to me." Song Zichen used Wu Zhao as an excuse to talk about it. Zhou Zhicheng and Zhou Matchmaker had very ugly faces.

They really don't want their children to join the army, let alone forced conscription.

This forced conscription is different from voluntary joining the army. If you go to the barracks, if you accidentally make a mistake, you may be executed at any time.

Furthermore, even if they went to the battlefield, how could they farmers fight.

They are not well-trained soldiers.

"I finally understand why you raised the awareness of urgency." Zhou Zhicheng sighed softly: "Zichen, thank you for telling us the news, and we will have a countermeasure in the future."

"It's nothing. We are relatives and should help each other."

"Sister-in-law, in the past, you could spend money to exempt from military service. I wonder if this is the rule now?"

Yin Susu anxiously inquired about conscription.

"I'm not too sure about this. It depends on how the imperial court arranges. The main purpose of their forced conscription is to fill up the number of recruits and satisfy their selfish desires. If other countries take the initiative to invade Xiling, their forced conscription is justified. .”

Jinxuan was worried that if she had money, no one would agree.

"To be honest, although I am not an official of the court, I also know that wars are not easy to fight. The Xiling Kingdom is far inferior to other countries. What else will our emperor do besides building large buildings and seeking pleasure?" Zhou Zhicheng sneered dissatisfied. .

"Grandpa Zhi, don't get excited, we have a geographical advantage, so we won't be afraid even if we join the army."

Jinxuan comforted Zhou Zhicheng in a soft voice. In ancient times, exorbitant taxes, corvee service, and military service were the three mountains that ordinary people feared most.

Zhou Zhicheng hated the imperial court, she had to understand that Emperor Qian was losing the hearts of the people by doing this.

He has been an emperor for so long, but he still doesn't understand the importance of people-oriented.

"Don't tell other people about this. I'm afraid of causing trouble to Brother Wu. He asked us to remind you because you are our neighbors. He doesn't bother to care about others."

Jinxuan told Zhou Zhicheng and the other three not to spread the word.

"Grandpa Zhi, sister-in-law and brother Zichen are so considerate of us. We can't let them down. Even women should exercise more to help men guard their homes."

"Susu is right. Women can also hold up half the sky. If there are no accidents, this decree will be officially announced next month. Everyone, please be careful."

Jinxuan said everything that needed to be said, and then they were going back to the county seat.

Qiu Mansion!

Yu Shishi had packed up her things long ago, and asked the servant girl to sneak out of the house in advance and wait for her at the inn.

She has to wait for Jinxuan and the others at the checkpoint.

Now, her only problem is how to convince Mrs. Yu to let her go shopping.

"Mayue, I can't bear to let you go to Nan'an." Yu shi wept silently while tidying up the clothes. Her daughter had never traveled far, and this trip meant going abroad. She was really worried that her daughter would not be able to bear the hardship.
