Chapter 116 Soap
"Loss of money?"
Relevant information appeared in Jin Feng's mind.
The problem of more women and fewer men in the Kang Dynasty has been going on for many years, and it cannot be solved by sending relatives.
In every year's wedding ceremony, only a small number of people are selected in the first round.
For example, this time, there were more than 20 girls who came, and there were only four of them, Jin Feng.
In order to eliminate these unmarried women and stimulate population growth as much as possible, the Kang Dynasty government encouraged concubines. As long as you could support them, you could take as many concubines as you wanted.
After Jin Feng and others have finished selecting, if anyone among the onlookers of the villagers likes a certain girl or a few girls, they can also choose them as concubines, and the selected girls cannot refuse.
However, if there is one more person in the family, not only will there be one more mouth, but one will also have to pay an extra tax every year. There are very few families who dare to choose a concubine.
Therefore, every year, there are many girls of the right age who cannot get married even if they join the wedding party.
Although this is caused by objective reasons, there is still a 20% tax penalty.
Such girls are called "losers".
Guan Xiaorou is a well-known loser in the neighborhood - she participated in four wedding parties in a row and was still not married when she was eighteen.
The reason why she can't get married is not because of bad character or laziness, but because she can't bask in the sun. Especially in summer, her skin will become red, swollen, and even blistered as long as she is exposed to the scorching sun for a few minutes.
Such people were called Ye Mei in the Kang Dynasty, which meant an ominous person who could not see the light and could only live in darkness.
Guan Xiaorou's family used to be quite comfortable, and she could buy one or two kilograms of meat to satisfy her cravings during the Chinese New Year. However, since she was sixteen years old, she has to pay an extra 20% in taxes every year, and her family's life has become more and more difficult. Now she only eats one meal a day.
It is difficult to maintain food.
What's even more unfortunate is that her sister suddenly got a strange disease last year. She often trembles, sweats, and sometimes faints.
These have become proof that she is an evil person.
Farmers are ignorant, who dares to marry such a woman?
"What a night charm, it's obviously just a sun allergy, just put on some sunscreen... Feudal superstition kills people!"
Jin Feng felt somewhat sympathetic to this girl.
The village chief held a bowl in his hand and walked side by side with the captain of the government office.
"The old rule is that when drawing lots, one of the bars will be picked first."
The four people took turns taking out a paper ball from it.
Jin Feng opened the ball of paper, and there were four lines drawn on it, and he picked the last one.
But Jin Feng doesn't care too much. Anyway, if he and others choose the same girl, they can compete. There is not much difference between choosing first and then choosing.
The village chief looked at the notes in the hands of several people and smiled at the hunchback Li Shitou: "Shitou, you are the first one, choose."
Just as Li Shitou was about to speak, Guan Xiaorou suddenly rushed out of the team:
"Brother, I know how to weave and have very little food. Please give me a way to survive. I will work hard and make cows and horses to repay your kindness!"
In order to increase her chips, she gritted her teeth and wrapped up her patched clothes, showing off her convex and concave figure to show that she was good at fertility.
"Go ahead, this figure is incredible!"
Hidden by the loose clothes just now, Jin Feng really didn't notice that Guan Xiaorou had such a good figure.
It's stiff where it should be, it's stiff where it should be, and it's thin where it should be thin...
Angelic face, devilish figure, melancholy temperament...a standard goddess!
But the villagers didn't buy it and called Guan Xiaorou shameless.
"Stand back!"
The yamen servant drank coldly.
Guan Xiaorou stood back in the team obediently, her face was so red that she was almost dripping with blood, and her body was trembling slightly, but she still looked up at Li Shitou.
If she could, she didn't want to be scolded by others, but she couldn't help it anymore.
In the past two years, she has been spinning day and night. Even so, the sister -in -law still hit her every day, and her brother and father and mother didn't care.
Before the departure, the sister -in -law said that if you ca n’t marry this time, you do n’t have to go back. He followed the council directly to the county government and sold the Qinglou.
In fact, this is also the last way to lose money.
If you ca n’t marry and you ca n’t afford taxes, you can sell yourself to the official green tower, so you do n’t need to pay taxes.
Guan Xiaorou would rather be unwilling to sell the Qinglou.
But it's not easy to die.
If she suits herself, her family will be held accountable, and the lightest penalty will pay a lot of money.
This is a filial piety.
Guan Xiaorou returned to the team and continued to choose relatives.
The village chief pushed Li Shi.
Li Shitou didn't dare to see Guan Xiaorou, and stretched his fingers to point to the most strong girl in the team.
Li Shitou's parents nodded with satisfaction.
The people in the country are looking for a mother -in -law. The first criterion is to be able to do well. They are really worried that Li Shitou is impulsive for a while and chose the beautiful Guan Xiaorou.
Li Shitou is Zhang Mancang.
Zhang Mancang took two steps forward, glanced at Guan Xiaorou, his eyes were complicated.
Guan Xiaorou's face changed, lowered his head slightly.
Just when Jin Feng thought Zhang Mancang would choose Guan Xiaorou, Zhang Mancang reached out and pointed to a one who looked strong and good.
The next time it was splashing Pippi thanks.
Xie Guang went up and took a closer look at the girls. When he saw Guan Xiaorou, he was careful.
The splashing eyes were light and rude, making Guan Xiaorou feel disgusted from the heart, and wanted to retreat subconsciously.
But in order to marry, I finally endured the nausea in my heart, and looked up stubbornly at Xie Guang.
She had made a decision in her heart. When Xie Guang was elected, he committed suicide, and it had nothing to do with her parents.
As for Xie Guang, she doesn't care.
Guanjiawan is not far from Hexi Bay. Guan Xiaorou knows who Xie Guang is.
Stealing chicken and touching the dog is delicious and lazy to do it.
Several girls she knew were played by Xie Guang when digging wild vegetables.
Such bastards are implicated, which is to remove harm for the people!
"What do you look at me like this? See me?"
Xie Guang smiled insignificantly: "It's useless to seduce me. I dare not marry the stars like you. However, if you follow the officials to sell the Qinglou in the county government, the little master can take care of your business. At that time, you can serve.
Good master. "
"You ... you ..."
Guan Xiaorou burst into tears.
"Do you choose not to choose, roll if you don't choose, what is crooked? Delay everyone's time."
Jin Feng can't stand it anymore.
Jin Feng claims to readers, pays attention to the gentleman's moving mouth, and is usually bullied by Xie Guang. When he saw it in the village, he was walking around.
But today this counseling scolded him in public.
I stunned my sleeves: "Hey, are you poor and sour, is it itchy again?"
"stop!"
The village chief stood among the two, and said coldly: "Jin Feng, you go back to stand up, Xie Guang, you can choose, don't delay the time of the princes!"
The word Guanye added a stress on the two words.
Although Xie Guang was a bastard, he was not a fool. He immediately realized that Jin Feng was pitting him.
Zhang Mancang, Li Shi chosen very quickly. When it was his turn, he delayed a lot of time.
If he just hit Jin Feng in front of the madage, it would disrupt the sending team, and this charges were not small.
Xie Guang secretly scolded Jin Feng, and with his fingers a girl who looked more beautiful.
