Chapter 8 Liu's daughter care

So unless you have to, no one will ask Ding Yayu to help sell their children, and Ding Yayu is even less popular in the village. Therefore, as soon as the villagers on the shore heard Liu's words, warm-hearted people answered: "Don't worry, Yang's sister-in-law, if you want to grind rice directly My family is here. I can not only lend you the grinding, but also lend you the donkey for nothing!"

Immediately, someone laughed and answered again: "The second dog lent the mill and donkey to the Yang family's sister-in-law, but it's really for nothing. I will never start your daughter's idea as soon as I lend you the grinding!"

This made Ding Ya's nose smoke, and her bad thoughts were also exposed on the spot--the reason why Ding Yayu was willing to lend the grinding to Liu's family was that he really wanted to get close to Liu's family, so that he could coax Yang Qiniang to sell it at a good price in the future! Anyway, there is no loss in borrowing her family. If Liu really borrows a donkey raised with corn straw from her, I'm afraid that Dingya will find a bunch of excuses not to borrow it.

This Dingya just couldn't hear the cynicism of the people on the shore. After holding the bamboo raft on the shore, he got out of the place with few people, and did not forget to refute the people who watched the bustle: "Just watch my jokes!" If you want to sell your children, don't blame me for not helping you find a good family!"

On the spot, a hot-tempered aunt spat and scolded, "Bah!" Your family is going to sell your children! Our children are the treasures of our family, and they will definitely not be coaxed by you to sell them!"

"That is, you always incite others to sell women. Aren't you afraid of retribution if you always do this kind of immoral business?"

The villagers on the shore squeezed Dingya. In the end, Dingya couldn't tell everyone and knew that they were wrong. Finally, they had to escape with the fox's tail. When the people on the shore immediately saw this, they ridiculed Dingya. The scene made Yang Momo couldn't help clapping their little hands and cheer. Li is even more happy to scold that Dingya deserves it!

At this time, Yang Dazhu, who was working in the field, trotted all the way back with a hoe. As soon as he got on the boat, he gasped and asked, "What did Dingya do to our house? You didn't stupidly promise her anything, did you?"

Liu looked at Yang Dazhu angrily and scolded, "Am I like the kind of person who can do stupid things? What can be done and what can't be done? Will I not know?

Liu's words made Yang Dazhu breathe a long sigh of relief. As soon as he turned his head, he saw his two daughters playing in the cabin safely. His high and hanging heart was put back in place. He picked Yang Momo up and asked casually, "What are you doing in our house?"

"She said she wanted to lead us and sell Qi Niang to the little lady of a large family as a close maid, and said that in the future..."

It turned out that as soon as Ding Yayu learned that the Yang family was now too poor to open the pot, she immediately asked if there was anyone in the city who wanted to buy a four- or five-year-old girl. Soon she inquired about a prestigious family in the city and wanted to find a close maid for the three or four-year-old woman in the family. The family asked for this close The maid must be between four and five years old, and must be obedient and understand the rules, and she is required not to be noisy...

That family means that they want to buy a girl who meets their own requirements, grow up with their baby daughter, and will marry their husband as a dowry maid and their daughter in the future. Most of the dowry maids in the Northern Song Dynasty will eventually be accepted by the male protagonist. Ding Yayu wanted to use this to** and persuade Liu, and also said that her life as an aunt was more happy than that of the immortals in the sky.

When Liu was a child, she once read a few words and read some books with her mother's brother, so she was not as ignorant as ordinary village women, and she would not be fooled by Ding Yayu's pleasant words. Liu knew the principle of "being a slave for life for life", and she knew that no matter how poor she was, she could not let her daughter enter. A cheap man is a slave.

Liu's words made Yang Dazhu shocked and hurriedly asked, "What happened later?" Did you reject her immediately?"

"Later? Later, I took a big broom and drove Ding Yayu directly off the boat. I didn't push her into the sea, even if I had left her some face! I see if she dares to hit our daughter next time!"

Liu was only a simple love for her daughter to reject Ding Yayu's proposal, but Yang Dazhu was like a mirror in his heart, knowing how critical the situation just now was, and even knew that if Liu was accidentally coaxed by Ding Yayu, he would push the whole Yang family into that eternal situation!

Yang Dazhu was still a little afraid when he thought of this, and he was also scared into a cold sweat on his back. He repeatedly said, "Fortunately, your mother's daughter hurts to the bone and is reluctant to let them suffer for slavery. Otherwise, if you really sell Qi Niang, you will have hurt the children in the family for a lifetime!"

This made Liu's words surprised, and Yang Momo, who was held in Yang Dazhu's arms, was also puzzled. He looked at Yang Dazhu with dark eyes and waited for him to continue. Under Liu's questioning eyes, Yang Dazhu slowly talked about the powerful relationship involved in selling his daughter one by one...

It turns out that although Yang Dazhu is simple and kind, he is not an independent person. He knows that being a fisherman in his life is not only risky but also impossible to be rich, and has no chance to get ahead and glory.

So no matter how poor the family is, Yang Dazhu must clenched his teeth and tighten his belt. In any case, he will send his four sons to school in the city, and secretly vowed to cultivate his sons into talents and never let them be fishermen for a lifetime.

Yang Dazhu, like all parents who expect their children to get ahead, hope that their sons can pass the study and take the imperial examination, and finally embark on the road of official career in high school. Therefore, Yang Dazhu has already taken the opportunity to find out everything related to the imperial examination, one by one, and keeps some of the most important things firmly in his mind to avoid mistakes due to ignorance.

Yang Dazhu first picked out some important things he heard related to the imperial examination and told Liu for her to write them down, and then cleared his throat and said the most important point: "I heard the scholar who sold sour articles in the teahouse in the city say that the unbegets who have entered the imperial examination can't participate in the imperial examination, and the little teeth are almost It has coaxed you to harm the future of a few guys!"

Liu was very puzzled and asked, "Even if we sell Qi Niang as a slave to others, Qi Niang has become a cheap man. What does it have to do with Dalang?"

Seeing that Liu Shi still didn't understand his own words, Yang Dazhu couldn't help but feel a little anxious and his tone was not heavy: "The relationship between these two things is big! If it doesn't matter, will I deliberately pick out this matter and talk to you separately?

Yang Dazhu was so anxious that his neck turned red, but for a moment he could not completely repeat the literary words he said to the scholar who told him the rule at that time. Finally, he had to let Yang Dalang invite an old scholar in the village and ask the old scholar to explain the rule carefully.

As soon as the old scholar arrived at Yang's house, Yang Dazhu quickly told him the cause and effect. The old scholar failed to be admitted to the imperial examination countless times, but he was also a very prestigious and respected scholar in the village. He also knew everything about the imperial examination because of the many imperial examinations.

After listening to Yang Dazhu's words, the old scholar stretched out his hand with the goat beard on his chin and said slowly, "Dazhu is right. I did make it clear in the law that 'unripees are not allowed to be accepted', that is to say, once a good people enter the status, they will lose their qualifications and channels to rise."

However, although our law stipulates that unrepared people are not allowed to take the exam to become an official, this rule is not completely unconventional. Generally, if the unfit people want to be good, or be exempted from cheap status by decreed by officials, or be a slave to be released by their masters. Only after at least three generations of relatives and friends who have not been engaged in a lowly business can they have an official test. Qualifications."

When the old scholar explained this, Yang Momo immediately understood that if Yang Qiniang was really deceived into slavery today, then her brothers would have relatives and friends engaged in low-level jobs, and were invisibly deprived of the qualification to take the exam, not only could they not take the imperial examination, but even their sons and grandchildren. It can't be tested either.

Although Yang Momo did not know that the imperial examination system of the Northern Song Dynasty was so harsh and strict, she understood that except that the unseekers could not participate in the imperial examination, the fate of the slaves and maidservants of the Song Dynasty was much better than that of other dynasties.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, if they are officials and maidservants, they need the approval of the relevant government to release them; while private slaves and maidservants only need the owner's approval and write a "good book" written by the master, so that they can return the slave and maidservant's freedom and take off their status to be good... Of course, such a "good people", he and his family I can't take the imperial examination yet.

Yang Momo also learned from some historical materials that the officials and maidservants of the Northern Song Dynasty and the private slaves who were enslaved for life are no longer the main body of the slaves. The main body of the slaves should be hired slaves, also known as "female envoys".

However, according to what the old scholar said, Yang Qiniang was sold as a slave and was immediately released by her master's family to return to good nationality. Yang Dalang and others still can't take the exam to be an official in their lives. They can only wait for their great-grandchildren after three generations to go to take the exam to apply for an official exam.

So Yang Dazhu said that the situation just now was very critical and not too much. After all, the future of the Yang brothers was almost destroyed in the hands of Ding Yayu, and Ding Yayu did these people all day long and often became a civilian. How could he not know these regulations related to parables?

It can be seen that Ding Yayu clearly knew that selling Yang Qiniang would bring lifelong harm to the Yang brothers, but he didn't say a word about this and just thought about how to coax Yang Qiniang to sell it at a good price!

After listening to Lao Xiucai's words, Liu understood the powerful relationship. She immediately scolded the conscienceless Ding Yayu and ordered several of her children: "In the future, you will beat her once when you see Ding Yayu. I think she dares to harm our family without conscience!"

Yang Dalang has had the ambition to study hard to study for a doctoral high school since he was a child. At present, he saw that the future of himself and his brothers was almost destroyed in the hands of the abominable Dingya. No matter how good-tempered he was, he immediately surged into endless anger and said, "Mom, don't worry, my brothers and I will definitely teach that Dingyayi a good lesson. Don, let her have no good fruit to eat!"

Only after experiencing this matter did Yang Momo understand that the ancients were very concerned about the relationship between the Chinese clan. Many things were interrupted by flesh and blood. It is impossible to divorce like in modern times, or publish a declaration that they have separated from the relationship with someone, and they can immediately leave the relationship between each other clearly. In ancient times, these kinships were like the spider web that had been knotted for many years, and pulling this thread must affect that thread.

After experiencing Dingya coaxing Liu's daughter, Yang Momo deeply realized that the future relationship between the Yang brothers and their families will even affect her and Yang Banniang's future marriage!

So Yang Momo, who was still in her infancy, began to think about some ghost ideas. She secretly calculated that if several brothers did not have to study hard in the future, she would introduce Liu to methods such as "sting stock suspension beam" and "blogging snow" to urge her brothers to work hard for the bright future of the whole family!
