Chapter 230 Promise

Shuilian and Shuitong have long attracted the girls to meet the second door. Li Xiaoyao got out of the car and saluted them. They watched Shuitong look up and down. Compared with last autumn, Shuitong has changed a lot. She is much fatter, her expression is relieved, and there is some compassion between her eyebrows. Shuilian also looks at Shuitong along Li Xiaoyao's eyes. He laughed and said, "Look, Sister Tong is busy every day, but it's better than her original body!"

"There is Yu Qing, a good man. Tongda/grandmother is busy doing good deeds every day. How can he not be in good health?" Shuitong, which Li Xiaoyao said, also laughed. The three of them gave way to each other into the inner courtyard. The banquet was set up in the warm pavilion on the back garden hill. All kinds of tea and rice snacks were very attentive everywhere. The three sat or half lay down at will and looked at Jing talking. Li Xiaoyao listened to Shuitong's gentle and slow words. There was an indescribable taste. I remembered the witheredness when I saw her for the first time. After I was released from prison, my heart died like ashes. Today's gentleness and slowness••••• I heard that she used to be an extremely refreshing and spicy person. She must not have been such a slow talk. She has died once. Now that she is in charge of this merciful bureau, I'm afraid she should be a Buddha. As he did, alas••••• Li Xiaoyao listened to Shuitong's gossip while thinking: "•••••• We have never heard of such a tragedy in our deep courtyard. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and just listened to them, I couldn't believe that the child was alive, and would have pressed into the cold water bucket. Li, first of all, I was surprised. Why did the midwife have to recite the rebirst spell after giving birth? I heard that there are many more things outside the city. After giving birth to a son, she set off firecrackers to celebrate, and after giving birth to a girl, she drowned and regenerated. Alas, our woman's family•••••”

Li Xiaoyao frowned disgustingly and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

"I have seen five or six times with my own eyes. I didn't stop them for the first time, and the last few times I was stopped. The superiors took those girls back to the Tzuiyou Bureau to raise them. Several girls have been in middle school for four or five months, and they laughed as soon as soon as they heard that there were more things outside the city and countryside, alas! It is said that God has the virtue of living a good life. Shuitong sighed for a long time. Li Xiaoyao was silent for a moment. Looking at Shuitong, he suggested, "It's not a long law to bring back to the Ciyou Bureau, and it's useless with this vulgarity. I have a way. You can see if it works. Do it on two sides. One is to let the government issue a notice. If there is a baby drowning person, the owner and the stable mother-in-law will stick ten sticks for three days. Second, by the young man When the bureau came forward, anyone who gave birth to a girl came to tell the name of his parents, the date of his birth, where his family lived, and immediately gave him a taels of silver, and so on!" Li Xiaoyao thought and said, "Let me calculate that there are more than 30,000 households in Kaiping Mansion. Based on adding one daughter per household every year, it is 30,000 taels a year. One taels of silver is enough to be poor for more than half a year. It is enough, but it can't be given once, divided into two times, and 500 yuan will be given first. When the child is half a year old, the parents must take the girl and come back to the child again. Bureau, you have seen it. If the girl is safe and healthy, she will be given another 500 yuan. This is appropriate. The notice of the government and the good deeds of the Ciyou Bureau can be combined, so that the Kaiping government office can be passed on to all households in all townships.

"The fifth master asked them to take the girl again to get 500 yuan in half a year, for fear that they would take the money back and do it again, but what about half a year later? Isn't the fifth master afraid? Shuilian asked, and Li Xiaoyao looked at Shui Tong and smiled, "This baby-doting family is not a villain, but the embarrassment of life are all their own flesh and blood. How can they do it in the first half of the year? Not to mention my mother, even if you are a father, you can't do this cruel thing. Shuitong nodded repeatedly: "The fifth master is very true! It's a good way to live without nourishing your body!"

"Good is good, but you have to care about silver. 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver a year is not a small amount! It's not very useful to do this for only one or two years, or at least three or five years. Li Xiaoyao smiled,

"Silver is not a big deal!" Shuilian waved her hand carelessly: "There are many old ladies, ladies, ladies and ladies who want to do good deeds and accumulate blessings. Can you ask Sister Tong, where is our Ciyou Bureau to raise money?" Shuitong nodded with a smile and looked at Li Xiaoyao with a smile and said, "In the first month, the day before the Laojun meeting, Lianmei and I invited our ancestors to come forward and invited the old ladies and husbands of the seven or eight families to the Salesian Bureau. In just half a day, we received 210,000 taels of silver." Li Xiaoyao was stuffy and exhaled gently for a long time. He became more and more Li Xiaoyao. In the former charity meetings, those ladies also threw a lot of money, 350,000 yuan, but they just wore two less clothes.

"If there is silver, this is easy to do. On the other side of the government, I will talk to the prince the day after tomorrow, or Sister Tong will directly find the water marquis. This is a good thing that is beneficial to the country and the people. The prince and the marquis must agree. By the way, I opened a weaving workshop last month and just got something decent, and today I brought a few Come here, let's see how it goes. If it's good, I'll ask people to recruit more girls to work in the future! Otherwise, if you open an embroidery shop in the future, there will be more girls who use it! If the girl's family can also earn money to support her family, no one will dislike it!" Li Xiaoyao said while laughing. Shuilian laughed and pointed to Li Xiaoyao and Shui Tong, "Which girl raised is half of our fifth master, which is more useful than a hundred sons!" Shuitong nodded and smiled. Li Xiaoyao looked at Shuilian and changed the topic quietly: "I'm like this, two or three can't match one of the aquatic brother. Shuisheng brother began to learn kung fu from my father at the age of eleven or twelve. He went to the village and didn't learn for a few years, but now kung fu is better than my elder brother. He studied with the Marquis Shui and studied. But in a month, I got a martial arts test!" Li Xiaoyao raised his chin without hiding his face. Shuitong quickly turned his head and looked at Shuilian. Shuilian's face seemed to be blushing. She tried to look generous and naturally and said, "The fifth master's brothers are extremely rare. I have heard the second brother praise Master Wei several times that he is smart and kind."

"In addition to being kind, the aquatic brother is also particularly affectionate. It turned out that when we were on the mountain, now in the Tiger Power Camp, there are no colleagues who are not convinced by him. You see, in the future, among my brothers, aquatic brother will be the most promising, and the prince is ambitious. Sooner Shuisheng brother will be Earn a prince with military merit!" Li Xiaoyao proudly praised his brother. Shuitong looked at the complacent Li Xiaoyao and shook his head while smiling. The alert in his eyes gradually dissipated. Li Xiaoyao only proudly continued: "In the future, if any girl can marry Shuisheng brother, she must be a great blessing. Our Li family has family motto. Men do not take concubines, and women do not Concubine, although Shuisheng brother's surname is Wei, it is also from our Li family. The rules of the Li family will naturally also be the rules of the Wei family in the future. In fact, there are no rules of this family. According to Shuisheng brother's nature, he will not take a concubine. Shuisheng brother told me that if you want to marry, you will marry someone you like. If you marry back, you will stay together, grow old together, and never let your daughter-in-law. The woman suffered half of the grievance and went for this. Tell me, will my second sister-in-law have great blessings in the future? Sister Tong said, didn't she?"

Shuitong was stunned for a long time, looked at the water lily listening attentively, and slowly nodded and agreed, "It's true." Shuilian's eyes flashed, and she looked at Li Xiaoyao and didn't know where she saw. Li Xiaoyao looked at her and Shuitong, as if she remembered something. She gently clapped her hands and smiled and said, "The more you talk, the farther you get. On the day of the martial arts examination, I must go to help Brother Shuisheng!" Would you like to go with me, two sisters? There are too many people and it's lively!" Shuilian hurriedly nodded and agreed, "Okay!" Shuitong turned his head and looked at Li Xiaoyao and nodded with a smile. Li Xiaoyao was secretly relieved and no longer mentioned Wei Shuisheng. The three of them chatted casually until late. Li Xiaoyao got up and left and got up and went back to Liushu Hutong.

Shuilian and Shuitong watched Li Xiaoyao's car go far away from the gate. Shuitong looked at Shuilian, who was reluctant and excited, sighed gently, waved her hand to signal the maids to retreat, pulled Shuilian, and walked to the courtyard, and whispered, "Why haven't you received your heart yet? " Shuilian's face suddenly turned red, and she didn't answer, and she didn't look at Shuitong. She just lowered her head and twisted her hand. Shuitong patted her hand, sighed again, and whispered, "Master Wei, I've seen it twice, but it looks like a loyal..." Shuitong suddenly paused and paused for a moment, with her face. With a bitter smile, he looked at Shuilian and whispered, "I'm an eyeless person. Since the marquis and the second master Yan said that other people are of good character, it must be not bad. The fifth master said solemnly today. If he can really promise this, he will be regarded as a good man again this time." Shuilian looked at Shuitong with surprise and opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. Shuitong gently stroked her shoulder, pushed her in, and then said, "This is the end. You are different from me. You are the direct daughter of the Shui family. There are few legitimate daughters of our Shui family. Your father and two Hou Sir, how can you be promised to Second Master Wei like this? Alas, besides, he took the martial arts examination. If Wenju can win the top three again, maybe he can make the two marquises and your father nod this head, but now he is taking the martial arts examination. Even if he is a martial arts champion, he is just a martial arts champion. It's not that my sister won't help you, forget it. Shuilian bit her lips tightly. Shuitong sighed a few times and whispered, "Marriage, the fate of parents, the words of the matchmaker, the old saying has its own reason. Listen to my sister, forget it, huh?" Shuilian didn't say a word, and her head was buried lower. She twisted the handkerchief hard with both hands, making the handkerchief as tight as a silk rope, and her fingers turned white.
