Xin Zongliang envied Miao Guoguo for having a happy family, unlike him who was alone.

He only has a big house, a useless handsome face, and a literary talent that no one appreciates.

Oh, I'm so envious...

Therefore, Xin Zongliang was very filial after marriage. He liked to take Miao Guoguo to his father-in-law's house to eat and live, which gave him a happy feeling of home.

Mrs. Miao was also really touched!

Because every time Xin Zongliang came, Miao's mother would cry in the kitchen while looking at the white rice in the pot.

Father Miao just sighed, looked at the tall and mighty Miao Guoguo, and comforted her mother, "Think about the good things, at least Guoguo is married!"

Miao Lao Niang: "..." It's better not to marry! This damn girl!

But Miao Guoguo didn't care about that. She was too obsessed with Xin Zongliang. Even if he could only write a few sour poems, she would eat a few more bowls of rice just by looking at his face!

Later, Miao Guoguo gave birth to three children for Xin Zongliang. The children were growing up and were about to get married.

Things were indeed getting better and better, but unfortunately, a sudden smallpox outbreak swept across the Northern City.

Not only did the entire Xin family die, but even the city gate was lost!

……

Jin Doudou twitched his lips. [Tsk, a hollow descendant of a wealthy family with a thin bloodline, a half-educated father, and a mother who works hard but is obsessed with love.]

[There's a sister who chases after handsome men all day, a lazy and gluttonous 'me', and a brother with ADHD who can't sit still and runs around all day.]

[Starting with Dad, the names of my entire family...are completely opposite to my personalities!]

[Tsk tsk tsk, what a huge family! ]

【Hahaha, this is really good, it’s really good! 】

……

The twenty-third year of Yaoguang.

In the north, Huadu City.

It is because the local chrysanthemums are blooming all over the wild mountains and wild corners, and because the local area is relatively cold, the chrysanthemums will not fall off the branches even when they wither, which makes them look very majestic.

I don't know when some scholar sighed that this flower has integrity, so this place got the nickname of Flower City. It's not because the local area is rich in flowers or has picturesque scenery.

Anyway, it has been called this for generations, and later it became the recognized Flower City. On the contrary, although the local area also has four seasons, the winter is longer.

This place belongs to the frontier area, and there are barbarians just a hundred miles outside the city wall. To put it bluntly, once the city is broken, the people living nearby will definitely be the first to die.

Due to the truce in recent years, the two places are relatively peaceful.

Of course, in addition to the fact that every winter, once it snows and the cattle and sheep in the barbarian land are frozen to death, there will definitely be a conflict between the two places, because these people lack cattle and sheep and have no food, so they will come to rob the surrounding people.

What did the barbarians come to steal from them?

Naturally, they robbed iron pots, salt, tea, grain, silver, and even women and children, commonly known as two-legged sheep!

It is now the twenty-third year of Yaoguang, and the two places have been at peace for twenty years...

Ping'an Street, South City, Huadu.

There are many good houses on this street, most of which are built with blue bricks and stones.

Because there are many merchants coming here to do business, it is very convenient to have a place to stay.

The leather goods and treasures here are all hot commodities in Kyoto. Once they are shipped back, they will make huge profits. Even though several lives are lost every time, they still come here several times a year.

Kyoto's silk, cotton, salt, sugar, tea, etc. are also popular goods here, and you will never lose money by trading them back and forth.

In addition, the two places have been relatively peaceful in recent years, so this area is still very lively.

Therefore, those who are better off painted their doors with horse blood red paint, and their big red doors look very imposing!

The most striking one is a magnificent courtyard house.

There was a plaque hanging above the door of the house. On the plaque with black characters and gold edges were the faded and somewhat desolate words "Xin's House".

The gate of his house is very conspicuous among the other imposing gates, because the gate of Xin's house looks like a bald man with leprosy.

The red paint on the door had long since fallen off, revealing the original color of the wooden door.

How should I put it, it's just very... desolate...

Keke, squeak, keke... a series of shrill sounds were heard, as if an old man had a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat, which made people feel uncomfortable and frown.

The door opened, and a tall, broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, heroic woman walked out of the dilapidated and shabby door.

The woman was wearing a half-worn red and black Hu clothing, which was also called Hu clothing because of its narrow sleeves and leg-binding properties, making it very convenient.

This kind of clothing is very popular locally because it is very convenient for working.

She was about sixteen years old and had a pretty face, but as a girl, her behavior at this time was a bit indecent.

The woman hunched her back like a thief and carefully looked around, as if to make sure it was safe.

Then, the woman turned around, bent over, stuck out her butt, picked up a sack, straightened up, wiped her nose with her sleeve, and walked away with a smile on her face!

But as soon as she turned the corner and reached the entrance of the alley, a brown hand grabbed the sack and dragged her into the alley along with the person!

Xin Xian staggered when she was dragged, but her hands were still tightly holding the sack. She looked up at the person who attacked her and found that it was her sworn brother Xin Jian!

She just breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to send her brother away, but then her brother moved away and pulled out a soft, white and tender little girl from behind her!
