This time Fang Chenxi brought up this topic again, and Liu Xiaolu told her the results of her previous discussion with her mother and grandmother, asking her not to worry so much.

"Xixi, don't worry about the rumors in the village. Our family will definitely not marry you off casually. My mother said that you can get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and it will not exceed the latest marriage age stipulated by the laws of this dynasty. If you really don't have a suitable one, you can pay small change when you turn eighteen, don't worry."

"I'm not like you. You have so many adults in your family. I only have a five-year-old brother. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it if I marry into a family here. I'll be upset if I marry a bad one, but I'm afraid if I marry a good one, the other person will look down on me because of their financial situation. I really can't accept someone with three wives and four concubines."

Fang Chenxi did think more about it. She had seen many examples on TV. Although the male and female protagonists were together for life, the probability was very small and she might not meet such a good man.

Men are inherently fickle, easily bored with the old and easily attracted by the new, and are not bound by laws, morals, or family responsibilities.

If you have the means, who wouldn’t want to have three wives and four concubines and find a few beautiful women to keep you company?

Liu Xiaolu thought about it and felt that what he said was very right. Chenxi was indeed very pitiful. She was extremely fortunate that their family had always been together. She had grandparents, mother and aunt who loved her: "Xixi, why don't you have any family? Don't forget that we are all your family, and you are also capable. Don't think that women are weak here.

As long as we are strong, we will live well. Besides, when you are rich and capable in the future, you can support yourself, pay the fine, and marry someone. Then you can find a wife for your brother, and you will be the mistress of your family.

An elder sister is like a mother, an elder sister is like a mother. Think about it, you raised your younger brother and delayed his marriage, so how can your younger brother not take care of you in your old age? This era still values ​​filial piety. You should also read more books and learn more about the rules of this era. We can also apply these rules to make our lives better in reverse.”

As life gradually became more stable, and Liu's father treated the servants he bought well, not to mention his own people, Fang Chenxi's face suddenly became clear after Liu Xiaolu's guidance, revealing a kind of happiness from the bottom of her heart as if she was relieved of a heavy burden.

Fang Chenxi was wearing a clean new outfit and her hair was combed into a double bun, which was popular among girls of that era.

The early morning sunlight shines through the gaps between the tips of the bamboo forest in front of me and hits my face, and my delicate and smooth skin seems to be shining with the sun's light.

Caroline's clear big eyes were sparkling, and her long eyelashes were like a fan, blinking at Liu Xiaolu. Oh, how come she didn't realize that Miss Xixi was really a little beauty.

I couldn't help but mutter in my heart: "Oh, such a beautiful girl, who knows who got it for free? No, I must make Grandpa and Grandpa Luo open their eyes in the future. I can't let Xixi be deceived and marry a scumbag casually."

After Liu Xiaolu finished speaking, Fang Chenxi saw that Liu Xiaolu had been staring at her, and pulled her hand awkwardly: "Xiaolu, thank you, I have figured it out. You are right, I can't keep thinking about these things. I will work harder to learn the knowledge here, do what I like to do in the future, and when I have money and ability in the future, I will expand our team and no one can bully me."

Lin Keyu didn't want to interrupt the two sisters' conversation, so she stood far away on the other side of the door, but she heard their entire conversation.

He didn't express his own opinion either. He is a boy and has the convenience of gender, so it seems that no matter what he says, he can't truly empathize with others.

Lin Keyu used to have only friends. Because of his father's job, he had a straight and masculine personality since he was a child, and he didn't know how to play with girls. It was best to stand aside and not express his opinions.

Liu Xiaolu wanted to say something else when Liu Hao, Qu Dingliang and Chu Xiaolong drove the ox cart and horse carriage out of the back door of the barn. When Liu Hao came out, he saw the three people standing by the door and called out to them: "Get in the car... Let's go..."

There were quite a lot of people going into the city today. As soon as we left the village, we saw that the oxcart that carried people to the county town was full. Uncle Wan, the ox driver, saw them coming and asked, "Haozi, are you going into the city too?"

"Yes, Uncle Wan, why are there so many people coming into the city today?"

"Today is the Spring Equinox. Everyone is going into town to buy seeds. We are getting ready to start spring planting."

"Oh, that's it."

Liu Hao exchanged a few pleasantries and prepared to leave, but Uncle Wan stopped him and said, "Haozi, when will you be back this afternoon? There are quite a lot of people from the village going to the city this time. They can walk when they go, but they are afraid that they will have too much stuff when they come back. If it is convenient for you, you can bring some people with you. It's one cent per person, just like usual, so it won't be a waste of time."

"Uncle Wan, I'm sorry, we're going into the city today to fetch some bricks and order dishes for tomorrow's banquet. I don't think there will be much room left by then. How about you go to the city separately, and one group will go tomorrow."

After listening to what Liu Hao said, Uncle Wan realized that he was not trying to shirk responsibility, but that there was really not enough space. He looked at the people who also wanted to go into the city and said, "Why don't you go in tomorrow? If that doesn't work, ask someone you know to help take you there."

The men over there were hesitant and didn't get on the bus before, largely because they could only go to the county town a few times a year, and wanted to take this opportunity to go to the Spring Equinox market.

There is a big fair every year during the Spring Equinox. The government also opens a special grain seed selling point at the fair, and businesses in the city will also bring out some novel seeds. Everyone wants to go and see the excitement. It’s okay to walk back and forth, but I’m afraid of buying too heavy things and it would be too painful to walk back without taking a ox cart.

In addition, spring planting is about to begin. For families without oxen to plow the fields, most people rely on manpower to plow the fields. It is better to save their energy for plowing the fields. Otherwise, their feet may get sore after walking so many times.

"Uncle Wan, let's not go."

Then he said to the acquaintance in the car: "I don't have many vegetable seeds left at home, please just bring some. And please bring two kilograms of rice seeds."

Several other people asked their good friends to help bring the seeds.

They were troubled because they didn't buy much. Those who took the oxcart had to go to the county town to buy seeds. The sweet potato seeds they kept at home couldn't be planted this year. That thing was heavy, and if they didn't go and ask others to help carry it, no one would be willing to carry it.

Uncle Wan looked at Liu Hao and his companions who had already walked away. Finally, after they finished discussing, he waved his whip in the air and said, "Go..." The old cow parked in front began to move forward with a clattering sound.

Liu Xiaolu and Fang Chenxi were sitting in a horse-drawn carriage. There was no carriage at the back of the carriage. Just like an ox-drawn cart, it had boards at the back for pulling things. They sat on both sides of the boards, swaying as they looked at the scenery on the road.

The endless reed marshes and the reclaimed plots of land on the distant hills have a pastoral feel.

"It's nice here, the air is really good..."

"Yes, there is green everywhere. Looking at these mountains and rivers more often will definitely prevent myopia."

Emotions come and go quickly.

They are all small episodes.

"Walking on the country road...all your dreams will come true..." Fang Chenxi hummed a little tune, but the lyrics are hard to describe!

It's none of his business!
