Farming and reading family

In their understanding, if they have never dreamed of each other, it means that they have no thoughts about each other and owe each other nothing.

Thinking of this, Chen Fansheng completely relaxed.

Most people don’t have so many obsessions. I wanted to change hysterically at the time, and later I even felt that I was a little bit of a middle school student.

After burning the incense and candles, Chen Fansheng left with his hands behind his back, carrying the basket, without caring about the grass on the grave.

The opening ceremony of the Chen Family Ancestral Hall went very smoothly. Because of Chen Ke's status, all the gentry and landlords in the county came to watch the ceremony, and Baotou Village was packed with people.

Chen Fansheng's back was straighter than ever before, and he looked younger.

Yang listened to the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums outside, untied her belt and hung it on the bed frame, and stretched her neck in with all her strength.

She didn't dare to die before because she was afraid that there would be no place to bury her.

She doesn't care now. No matter when she dies, there will be no place to bury her.

The Chen family is so cruel. I have been in the Chen family for so many years and have given birth to children for them...

After Guo found out, she hurried to tell Gao E.

Gao E's expression froze. She really couldn't stand seeing others doing well.

Seeing that her eldest brother was free, Gao E looked around and walked over and whispered, "Yang has hanged herself."

Chen Qing's expression froze for a moment, then returned to normal. His last bit of guilt towards Yang disappeared. "Second brother's wife, have someone put her away first."

Gao E nodded.

Yang died quietly. After finishing the work on the Chen family ancestral hall, Chen Qing went to talk to Yang Jizong about it.

Yang Jizong wiped his face. It was not the first time that an elderly man had seen a young man die. Besides, he had always felt that the Yang family was a separate family.

"What are your plans?" Yang Jizong asked in a low voice.

"If you don't mind, I'll find a place to bury her and let the children go to pay their respects." Chen Qing said simply, "If the children want to go in the future, they can go by themselves."

"Just let Xichen go." Yang Jizong said dully, "Women can't go to the grave."

"They can go if they want to." Chen Qing insisted.

Hearing Chen Qing say this, Yang Jizong stopped talking and remained silent for a while before saying, "Er Nao is not good at studying. Can you find him a job? At least he can learn to read."

His daughter was already dead, and the Yang family couldn't be cut off, so he took the opportunity when Chen Qing took the initiative to find him to bring up this matter.

Chen Qing didn't agree immediately: "Er Nao is still young. When he grows up, he may know what he wants to do."

Yang Jizong couldn't force it, after all, Chen Qing was no longer his son-in-law: "You can handle Dani's matter as you wish."

It was getting a little cold now, and Yang's body had been kept at Chen Qing's house for three days.

During these three days, Chen Qing asked a Feng Shui master to find a good place for Yang and asked someone to dig a tomb.

After staying for three days, the five children dressed more simply and followed Chen Qing to bury their mother.

Chen Yuning cried for a long time, and the rest of the time seemed to be unable to react to what was happening.

It was not until now that the villagers learned that Chen Qing had divorced Yang a long time ago. They all sighed, thinking about how Yang had angered Jiang to death, and felt that it had not been easy for Chen Qing either.

Gao E knew the whole story and sighed and shook her head. Life can be lived in any way, but if you don't live well, you will lose.

After hearing this, Lei came over and talked to her for a while, talking about the days after the flood.

"In the end, there's still nothing left for people to think about." Lei sighed.

She also didn't understand what Yang was fighting for.

Maybe she herself doesn't know, and no matter what she does, she is very contradictory.

"How is the business of Huanxizhu?" Gao E didn't continue talking about this.

"That's good." Mrs. Lei laughed. "Now everyone in He County knows that Huanxizhu is run by my uncle's family. No one dares to cause trouble there."

Gao E nodded. It seemed that it was unrealistic to open a national chain restaurant brand.

After the New Year, a piece of great news came: the emperor ordered the abolition of the slave system.

The system whereby one could escape slavery if he had not been a slave for three generations was changed to one where as long as one had money one could redeem himself and become a free citizen.

The former slaves and tenants are still refugees now, and as long as they return to their hometowns within six months, all their past actions will be forgiven.

Naturally, the aristocratic families were unhappy with this change. They had long regarded the slaves as their private property, but now they could leave them easily.

But I had to accept this matter with a wry smile. I was really worried that those slaves would have no way out and would be surrounded and killed like they did with the Tao family.

After the siege, they will be held accountable by the court.

Although these slavery reforms did not directly turn the lowly slaves into free citizens, they cheered excitedly because they knew there was a way out.

Naturally, those big families would not compromise easily and began to discuss how to enslave others for generations after the slave system was reformed.

He Tangchun received a letter asking students to study on their own, so he went back to find Tao Meiyu.

Tao Meiyun looked at the letter and asked, "How about...we go and give them something?"

He Tangchun nodded, he thought so too.

The surviving members of the Tao family were exiled and were not allowed to return to their ancestral home for generations.

The two men prepared themselves, brought some food, and waited in the place where the exiles would pass by. This was the only thing they could do for the Tao family.

Gao E smiled after knowing this. It was already good enough that the soft-hearted He Tangchun could get to this point.

The next piece of news made Gao E's expression solemn: Xu Boyan was arrested.

It seems that the emperor still used this method to calm the anger of those big families.

Although this was a possibility she had anticipated from the beginning, her mood was different when the day finally came.

Gao E sat on the steps of the main hall and thought for a long time.

"You..." Lu Qingluo looked at Gao E in confusion.

Gao E looked casual and was a very particular person, so why did she suddenly sit on the steps in such an untidy manner?

"Prepare the car. Go to the academy." Gao E said directly.

She wants to save Xu Boyan.

Lu Qingluo had never seen Gao E so solemn, so he immediately went to prepare the car.

The academy was very lively. People who recognized Gao E hurriedly saluted, but Gao E walked past quickly as if she hadn't seen them.

Gao E went straight to find Du Weiqing.

"What's wrong with you?" Du Weiqing had never seen Gao E so serious.

"When refugees were everywhere before, you wanted to go to the capital to plead for them. Are you still willing to do that now?" Gao E said directly.

"You didn't say..." Du Weiqing was a little confused. "The emperor has already abolished the slave system. Why are you asking for orders now?"

"Xu Boyan was arrested." Gao E said directly.

Du Weiqing was stunned.

"It was he who promoted the slavery reform and quelled the refugee rebellion. Now the emperor is using him to bring the big families to account in order to appease their anger." Gao E said directly.

Du Weiqing had said before that he had a backup plan, which was to wipe out Shuoxi.

However, his promise to pacify Shuoxi was just a promise, not a reality after all. It was real that those big families were making things difficult for the emperor, so the emperor chose a direction with the least pressure at the moment.

"Your Majesty is killing the donkey after it has served its purpose." Du Weiqing frowned. "Think carefully. If we plead for Xu Boyan this time, Qingtan Academy will have deviated from its original purpose."

"What he did is the original intention of establishing our academy. Why shouldn't we plead for him?" Gao E said with a serious expression.
