Wu Shunniang looked indifferent and said softly: "Ignore that family from now on. They are all evil ghosts who eat people without spitting out their bones. Why should I let them take advantage of me?"
She had long been heartbroken about the Helan family. If she had not had a pair of children, she would rather leave the house than live in the Helan family's house.
My husband died early, and the property left behind has been occupied by the brothers and sisters-in-law over the years. There is not much left. On the contrary, the life of their orphans and widowed mothers has become increasingly difficult. If it had not been for the support of Wu Meiniang in the past two years, and
Fang Jun privately gave her a lot of shops and properties, so she might not be able to survive.
Even so, she is like a thorn in the side of the Helan family, just because the Helan family will prepare a dowry for their daughter Helan Yan when she gets married in a few years, and her son Helan Minzhi will inherit some of the family business when he becomes an adult.
The Lan family wanted to remarry her, not only to save their children's dowry and inheritance rights, but also to gain some benefits.
After all, Wu Shunniang is gentle and gentle, and the dignitaries all over Chang'an City covet her...
Now that they had relied on a relative like Fang Jun, they did not mention marrying off Wu Shunniang, but they repeatedly encouraged him to come to the Fang family's door to ask for some benefits from the Helan family.
Unexpectedly, Wu Shunniang had already seen through the dirty faces of the Helan family, and she was unwilling to go to Fang Jun to ask for favors from them.
Last time, Helan Chushi asked her to talk to Fang Jun because of the quota in the academy. She refused, which made Helan Chushi extremely unhappy. Now Helan Minzhi was recruited into the academy by Fang Jun, but the other children of the Helan family were...
She could only watch as her envy and jealousy further brought her relationship with the Helan family to a freezing point.
Under such circumstances, how could she let Fang Jun seek benefits for the Helan family?
Having said that, she is shy and gentle. Even if she wants to get some benefits for the Helan family, she can't open her mouth in front of Fang Jun.
The relationship between the two is already embarrassing and despicable, but it can still be said that they are "happy" at the moment. If he opens his mouth, wouldn't it mean that he is willing to climb onto Fang Jun's bed for the sake of profit?
Shame can make people die of shame...
Fang Jun took a sip of tea and said warmly: "After all, they are your family, aren't they afraid that it will be difficult for you? In short, you just have to know what you are doing, and you don't have to give them too much face, but sometimes it doesn't hurt to give them a little favor, just to make a point.
It's comfortable, otherwise they will be sarcastic and sarcastic all day long, making you upset. As for what to give and what not to give, whether you should give it or not, you can control it yourself. As long as you open your mouth, there will be no refusal. "
There's only so much he can do.
Although it is not difficult to free Wu Shunniang from the household registration of Helan's family, how to arrange her future life? Even if Wu Meiniang turns a blind eye to the affairs between the two of them, it is absolutely inappropriate if she marries her back home.
Even if it is to purchase another property outside for resettlement, it is unreasonable.
To put it bluntly, the relationship between the two is just a bad fate, destined to be fruitless...
Wu Shunniang raised her head and looked at Fang Jun's slightly dark face with her autumn eyes. She endured her shyness and mustered up the courage to put her snow-white hand on the back of Fang Jun's hand and said softly: "Why is it so? I'd rather be carrying a carefree person when I follow you.
I am willing to be infamous. I don’t want your power or your money. I just want your masculine and heroic masculinity. Even if I am criticized for it, I am willing to do so. If I seek anything from you, then I will become my slave.
What's the difference between a human being and those actors and actresses in brothels and houses?"
She married her husband Helan Yueshi, which was related to the marriage between the two families. It could not be said that they were in love with each other, but they respected each other as guests. However, in the third year of their marriage, after giving birth to their daughter, Helan Yueshi fell seriously ill and died.
A widow.
In this era, being widowed is a very painful thing.
Although it is not as harsh as the widows were in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is by no means easy. It is just that there is no man in the room who can make decisions. For a woman who has just left the boudoir for a short time, she has no backbone and her life is difficult.
Difficulties are much more difficult than sleeping alone.
In addition, the children of the Helan family were mean and sharp, and they had his ideas in mind all day long. They wanted to get involved and had thoughts of remarrying her, which made her exhausted and her days were like years.
Fortunately, Wu Meiniang later married into the Fang family. Although she was just a concubine, she won the favor and respect of Fang Jun and entrusted him with taking care of the family business. In this way, she became the envy of everyone in Chang'an City. Her reputation was so great that Helan also
Her family saw the possibility of taking advantage, which made her situation slightly improve.
At first, she couldn't say how much she fell in love with Fang Er, but she was grateful because Fang Jun's relationship improved her living conditions in the Helan family. In addition, she was weak in nature and couldn't resist Fang Jun's strong domineering attitude, so she achieved success with half push and half effort.
Good thing.
This is the case for women. No matter what their thoughts were before, once they commit themselves to a man, their heart will often sink completely, and every thought will be the shadow of this man.
Until now, I have completely sunk and cannot extricate myself...
Fang Jun laughed, held her slender and soft palm with his backhand, and with a slight force, pulled the whole soft body into his arms, smelling the warm fragrance, looking at the red clouds stained on the beautiful face in front of him, and spoke softly
Said: "You know I just feel sorry for you, and I don't mean to look down on you in the slightest."
Her slender waist was tightly hugged by strong arms. Wu Shunniang's whole body was soft, her face was burning, and she breathed out like a orchid: "I am a broken woman, and to be favored by Erlang in this life is already a blessing from heaven. In this life,
I commit myself to you and ask for nothing. It’s just that these two children are my flesh and blood. I hope Erlang can love the house and the crow and take care of them. Such a kindness cannot be repaid in this life. In the next life, it will be connected with grass and rings, making cows.
The horse is also willing to do so."
Holding the petite and soft body in his arms, tenderness suddenly arose in his heart. Fang Jun said softly: "What can you say? Although a certain person is not an upright gentleman, he is also greedy for sex, but he is unwilling to be like Sima Xiangru.
Lucky person. As long as you open your mouth, I will marry you home tomorrow and I will not let down your sincerity."
There is nothing wrong with a man falling in love with someone he meets, but there is something wrong with being fond of the new and hating the old.
The more successful a man is, the more he has to take on his own responsibilities, and what is a man’s responsibility? At the very least, you want the woman who follows you to be respected and enjoy happiness, instead of running away thousands of miles away after you succeed...
Wu Shunniang nestled in Fang Jun's arms, caressing his face with her bare hands, her eyes full of love, and said softly: "A hero like Lang Jun should naturally be admired by women all over the world. I have the right body."
My husband's favor and trust will never be unsatisfactory. As long as the current situation is like this, I feel that my life will be fine. Why do I have to have such a status, which will cause trouble for both sides of the husband and the family? Follow the husband,
I have nothing more to ask for."
Which man can withstand such words of love? Fang Jun's heart was full of tenderness and he hugged the beauty in his arms tighter.
The breeze outside the window is clear and the rain is blowing, soaking the earth inch by inch.
*****
The spring rain is like oil, and it’s spring plowing time again.
Although the climate of the earth has not warmed up yet and it is not yet time for spring plowing, advance preparations must not be neglected. Especially those from aristocratic families with a vast territory have already prepared seeds, farm tools, and cattle, and sent their servants to farmers and guests.
We all assigned tasks and waited for spring plowing to be done in one go, so we wouldn't be in a hurry then.
Lishan Farm.
A light rain has been falling for two days, and the sky is covered with clouds, with no intention of stopping.
The villagers in the farm have already gone down to the fields wearing bamboo hats, preparing the soil ridges, removing grass roots, and making all preparations before spring plowing. It is almost March, and the day when His Majesty Li Er swears to go to war is not far away.
At the time of the expedition, most of the men from Guanzhong will be incorporated into the army and go with the army. Many men from Guanzhong have already arrived in Liaodong with various troops from Guanzhong. After this expedition, there will be no adult males out of ten.
Everyone takes advantage of this time to do as much work as possible in the fields, so that when the spring plowing comes, the old, weak, women and children at home will not be overwhelmed.
Lishan Farm is different from other places in that it adopts a "household contracting" system. Each household has to cultivate the land contracted by themselves. During the autumn harvest, it is handed over to the house's family according to a certain rent, and the remaining grain is used
It’s a year’s harvest.
In particular, the method of tax payment is similar to the "one-whip method", which minimizes the losses of farmers, so it is very able to mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers. Every family keeps the farmland clean, and the harvest is excellent.
