Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

Even she can only see the tip of the iceberg of the system now.

Perhaps, we haven’t even seen the tip of the iceberg.

From this point of view, the system is the enemy who killed his father and mother, and the biggest reason why he became an orphan.

Just for its energy, transactions, and points, he forced his parents to death.

Even you will eventually die at the hands of the system.

This system is damned.

In the past, I just thought that the system was damaging my body and I wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible, but now, it is the sworn enemy who killed my father and mother.

If I hadn't had this dream today, I would have been kept in the dark.

When she thinks back on this dream now, she still feels that it is a bit strange.

This dream seemed too real, as if I wanted to know the truth myself.

It feels like there is a third party helping me invisibly, trying to make me recognize the true face of the system.

Who is this third party? Why is he helping me? Is he doing something else?

After going through all this, Zhao Yuanzhen really won't take things lightly anymore. She feels that this is all a conspiracy.

Targeting oneself and plotting against oneself.

And that third party can't be another system.

She unblocked the system.

"System, will there be a second system in the space we are in?"

Zhao Yuanzhen chose to query the system directly.

The system doesn't know about your dreams and your guesses, so there's nothing wrong with asking directly.

"Reply to the host, no."

"How did you know? What if he was hiding it?"

"Replying to the host, traveling through time and space will cause fluctuations in time and space. If there are too many invading alien energies, they will be discovered and eliminated by this world."

The best proof is that they are doing well now and have not been excluded or driven away.

Zhao Yuanzhen rolled her eyes in her heart, why wasn’t she expelled? Didn’t the fact that she was struck by lightning every day count?

"Okay, I know."

Zhao Yuanzhen felt that there were exceptions to everything, and at the same time, she could not completely trust what the system said.

It’s better to be careful.

I can’t remember who the third party was who sent me the message in my dream.

Maybe it was accidental, maybe I just dreamed about it, or maybe there really is a third party involved.

It’s unknown now.

Zhao Yuanzhen was thinking randomly in bed.

She didn't get up until Lan Ying came over to help her wash up.

I got up, tidied myself up, and washed my face thoroughly to get rid of all the fatigue. After all, this year is New Year's Day, the first day of the new year, so I should be joyful.

After packing up, I went out to have breakfast.

So he took his people to the general's mansion to pay New Year's greetings.

The Zhang family has a simple population and few relatives.

No one came to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, so they went directly to the general's mansion to pay their New Year's greetings, and then returned to the village to pay New Year's greetings for another day the next day, and that was it.

Everyone wore new clothes made for the New Year and went to Zhao Yuanlan's house to pay New Year's greetings happily.

"Brother, happy new year to sister-in-law!"

"Happy New Year, Uncle, Aunt! Happy New Year, Cousin!"

"Happy New Year, Uncle and Aunt! Happy New Year, Little Uncle!"

"Happy New Year, aunt, eldest cousin, cousin's wife, second cousin, cousin's wife, third cousin, brothers and sisters."

This is Little Tunan.

"Happy New Year, little sister. Happy New Year to everyone! Come in!"

Zhao Yuanlan, Yue Hongmian and Xiao Tunan were all ready to welcome the arrival of Zhao Yuanzhen's family.

In previous years, when Zhao Yuanzhen was not in the capital, the younger generation would just come over to say hello and leave.

This year, Zhao Yuanzhen finally gets to celebrate the New Year in Beijing, so the two families want the occasion to be lively and prosperous.

A group of people followed him into the main room.

The fire dragon in the room was burning very hot. As soon as Jing'an entered the room, he felt the heat coming towards him.

Everybody took off their cloaks and fur coats.

"Little sister, I went to the mountains a few days ago and hunted a deer and some pheasants. Let's have them for lunch today. We haven't had a good gathering for a long time."

"Okay, big brother, then we will obey your command."

We are not the shy ones, so there is no need to be polite and refuse requests for a meal.

Zhao Yuanzhen waved her hand and called her nephew over.

"Tunan, come here, come to your aunt."

Tunan walked obediently to Zhao Yuanzhen's side.

"Aunt, what's wrong?"

He stood beside Zhao Yuanzhen in a gentle and graceful manner, looking very polite.

"This red envelope is for our Tunan. I hope our Tunan will have a prosperous new year and great luck."

Zhao Yuanzhen took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to the little guy.

The little guy hesitated a little. He looked up at his mother Yue Hongmian. Only after he saw his mother nod did he accept the red envelope.

"Thank you, auntie. I wish you good health and all the best."

"This child is so well behaved."

Zhao Yuanzhen touched the little guy's hair.

Yue Hongmian also took out red envelopes and called the younger generation over.

Even Zhang Xinbai, Qian Xiaohui, Zhang Xinnian, Li Zhijuan, and Zhang Xinshu are among them.

There are 10 people in total, including them and their grandchildren.

Yue Hongmian gave red envelopes to all of them.

Zhao Yuanzhen guessed that each person should have 500 taels or taels.

For ten people, that’s about 1 taels.

Fortunately, she gave Zhang Tunan a red envelope of 2 taels of silver.

It is easier to make money if you run your own business, unlike my eldest brother's family, which only has some property and shops.

The adults were talking in the hall while the younger ones went out to play.

The daughters-in-law were worried, so they followed.

"Little sister, I have already responded to the question that lady asked last time. I also secretly sent someone to inquire about it. It didn't work. The girl's personality was not good. Later, I politely refused."

The lady was from the family of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and the girl was the younger daughter of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War. The little girl had been spoiled since she was young, had a rather indulgent personality, and was not easy to get along with.

Yue Hongmian felt that she couldn't let her nephew down, so she declined the offer.

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law. I'll need your help in taking care of Xin Shu's marriage."

"Little sister, why are you saying such polite words! However, I think there is a good candidate, but I don't know if Xin Shu is willing."

Yue Hongmian has recently observed a young girl with a good personality, temper and character.

"Which lady is this?"

Zhao Yuanzhen was still quite curious.

"It's in the old Taifu's house, Teacher Xin Shu's home."

At the old tutor’s house?

That should be the grandchildren or great-grandchildren. After all, the old tutor is much older than Zhao Yuanzhen this year!

"Which young lady from the old master's house is this?"

"She is the third daughter of the old master's third son. She is 17 years old this year."

The little girl from the old tutor's family will never have trouble finding a husband, as her marriage had been arranged long ago.

But years ago, the prince of the Duke's mansion who was engaged to be married did something stupid for some reason. It was said that he forcibly abducted a commoner girl and brought her back to his mansion to be his concubine. However, the girl had a hot temper and she ran into the door of the prince's mansion and died on the spot.

The family of that commoner girl was also very stubborn. They refused to accept any private compensation or reconciliation from the Duke's Mansion.

A petition was submitted to Jingzhao Yi. Because the matter was too serious, Jingzhao Yi did not dare to make a decision on his own, so he reported it to His Majesty.

The whole court knew about it.

His Majesty was furious and immediately revoked the title of the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion. From now on, the title could no longer be inherited by the Duke's Mansion after the old Duke died.

Moreover, because the prince has poor moral character, he may not even be able to take the imperial examination in the future.

This prince really brought down the entire Duke's Mansion by his own strength.

It is said that the old Duke was so angry that he broke the prince's leg.

When the old tutor found out about this, they were extremely angry. How could such a person with such poor moral character be a good match? They immediately cancelled the engagement for the third young lady.

"Many men would want to marry the daughter of the old master's family. How come this daughter is 17 and still hasn't been engaged?"

Zhao Yuanzhen was just curious.

"Didn't the engagement end a few years ago because of the Duke's son's incident?"

Yue Hongmian told Zhao Yuanzhen again about the inhuman and foolish things that the prince of the Duke's Mansion had done.

Although Zhao Yuanzhen was in the capital, he didn't know much about gossip.

Firstly, it was because she had few friends and no one told her about it, and secondly, it was because she was often busy and had no time to listen to gossip.

She really didn't know about the big event that happened in the Duke's Mansion before the New Year.

After listening to Yue Hongmian's story, she felt that this prince was really awesome and had dragged the entire family down with him.

It seems that children at home still need to be educated strictly. You know, in this feudal society, the honor and disgrace of the family are shared.

Family honor and personal talent honor are the same, and one must never destroy the family's reputation for personal gain.

It can be said that when one prospers, all prosper; when one disgraces, all disgrace.

"This prince is really courting death!"

As the prince of a duke's mansion, he has all the girls he wants. Is there any need to force it?

Really are.

"Who says it's not true? It is said that the old Duke is so angry that he is still bedridden. It's pitiful."

At such an old age, with one foot already half in the coffin, how can you have the face to meet your ancestors below!

"Then the old Taifu's mansion canceled the engagement. Did they say they would arrange a marriage for the third young lady?"

"They didn't say anything, probably to avoid suspicion. After all, it's not good to spread rumors of marriage right after the broken engagement. But I saw that the Taifu Mansion didn't refuse the matchmakers who came to the door, and they all received them politely."

Oh?

Doesn't that prove that the Grand Tutor's Mansion still wants to arrange a marriage for the Third Miss?

You have to take a passive approach, not be proactive.

That's right, Miss San is already 17 years old. She's not too young.

We can't let the young lady in our family be delayed because of a person with poor moral character!

"Sister-in-law, have you seen the third young lady?"

"I've met her a few times, and she's well-educated, gentle and virtuous. Her words and actions are also quite like those of a lady from a noble family."

After all, she is a girl from the old tutor's mansion, and her manners are very good. The old tutor is a stubborn person, and the children in the family are all well-educated.

There are so many children in the mansion, and in all these years, I have never heard of any young lady or young master getting into trouble. It can be seen that the old tutor has brought them up very well.
