Zhong Xiucai never thought of adopting Ma Cuilan, but when he heard him plead, he was stunned.
Ma Cuilan saw Zhong Xiucai stunned, his tears flowing more profusely, he kowtowed to him, and said, "Master Xiucai, Cuilan really has no way out, please adopt Cuilan." I was injured, and after prostrating so hard, I,
his newly bandaged wounds started to bleed again, which made the victims around me feel unbearable.
A woman stopped him and prevented him from continuing to prostrate.
A woman spoke up for him: "Zhong Xiucai, you have to adopt this girl, she is an unmarried girl, she is,
and this kind of thing happened again, so he couldn't go alone, he had to find a good and generous family." Adopting ."
"Don't the officials pay attention to loving the people like a boy, you are a scholar, in the eyes of our commoners, you are the same as the officials in yamen, you can't ignore this girl in the
this time
. ” felt that he was a scholar, a noble like official, and he had to protect the unreliable Ma Cuilan at the moment.
Seeing that Zhong Xiucai was very happy with what he said, chief Ren Li said in time: "Zhong Xiucai, you are different from our mud legs.
Good man, since you don't have a daughter, it would be good if Cuilan could be your daughter." Ren Lichang sighed: "Oh, my family has a lot of people ,
and my family is not rich. If it were as rich as your family, I would have adopted Cuilan."
Chu Dynasty, the village chief could go directly to the yamen to meet the district magistrate Focus on the scholar, after all, the scholar could not be an official, and if they wanted to stand out, they would have to be accepted to Juren.
Therefore, Zhong Xiucai was greatly flattered by the village chief, his head became dizzy, and he was a little confused, and said with a smile: "
Mr. Xi, sir,
xiucai hurriedly choked and said, "Cuilan ... No, my daughter thanks her father for accepting it. My daughter swore that she would be filial to her father and mother,
respect his brother-in-law, take good care of his nephews, and try their best to help
family and does not cause problems for the family.” When you are finished talking,
he gave Zhong Xiucai three heavy kowtows, which meant he recognized Zhong Xiucai as his father.
The surrounding survivors were very happy to see the matter had been resolved, and the happiest were Lichang Ren and Ma Cuilan.
Chairman Ren sighed in relief. If Zhong Xiucai did not adopt Ma Cuilan, with Ma Cuilan's temperament, there would definitely be problems down the road. He no longer wanted to care about Ma Cuilan's mess.
Ma Cuilan achieves her goal and becomes a girl from a bachelor family, it can be said that she flies to
the peak of the branch and turned around from then on, his status was much better than when he was in the Ma family.
Village chief Miao was overjoyed when he saw that this matter had been resolved. Knowing that Zhong Xiucai liked flattery,
he said a few sweet words, and made Zhong Xiucai feel at ease, and then let the residents
miaojiagou Village Arrested Miao Liushun, beat Miao Liushun 20 boards, and the problem was finished.
Seeing Miao Liushun being punished, Zhong Xiucai reprimanded Miao Liushun politely, and after satisfying the official's addiction, he happily brought Ma Cuilan back to his resting place.
After Zhong Xiucai and Ma Cuilan left, Village Chief Miao also brought the villagers of Miaojiagou to bring Miao Liushun back to the resting place in their village, and the village chief also left.
Seeing no show to watch, the survivors dispersed one by one, only the third grandmother could not recover and stood still.
The third grandfather looked at him, snorted, and said: "You know, don't be too good in the future.
A girl who has suffered will count, and you need not feel sorry for her."
use their family as a raft to make things worse, and take the opportunity to move on to a family with better conditions.
The third granny's eyes were red, she lowered her head and wiped her tears, nodded, and hummed, in response to the third grandfather's words.
The third grandfather knew that he felt bad, because of Juehu and Fuya'er's affair, he couldn't see the girls
the young suffer. He sighed, grabbed the third grandmother's hand, and said, "Go back, it's time to cook.
"With him here, he would definitely outlive him, so he wouldn't be too miserable after dying.
After Zhong Xiucai brought back Ma Cuilan, the Zhong family made a fuss, but in the end they failed to expel Ma Cuilan.
In the days that followed, the weather was getting colder. In order to survive, everyone must speed up their journey. In less than two days,
they arrived outside the city of Tongshan Prefecture. However, the defenders of Tongshan Prefecture also set up roadblocks to prevent the victims from entering the city.
The survivors had no choice but to continue moving forward, passing through the Pingning House and entering the Jianghuai boundary.
Jianghuai River is close to Jiangnan, and the disaster situation is not too serious, the river is only half way, and the flow has not stopped.
The third grandfather and the others cried when they saw the flowing river, but the officials at the border of Jianghuai River and Huaihe River were afraid of causing trouble for the victims and did not dare to let the victims stay.
The victims were desperate again, and they condemned the officials in Jianghuai and other places. After being scolded, they continued on the path again,
rushed to Jiangnan, hoping officials in Jiangnan would open the city gates to let them in and give them a way to survive.
Hurriedly passing through the four border prefectures of Jianghuai, when they arrived at the He'an Mansion, they were suddenly stopped by a large number of defenders and they were not allowed to go any further south.
The victims did not know what was happening, so they could only stop by and sleep on the outskirts of Ho'an Prefecture.
Although the victims were curious as to why the government would not allow them to continue going south, it was already mid-December,
the actual mid-winter month, and the cold was so cold that the bones of the sick could only survive.
suppressing their curiosity and starting to look everywhere Chaihe lit a fire to keep warm.
The Gu Jinli family found a place under the wind, and everyone worked together to cut off the branches and find the weeds.When it was dark, they finally built a warehouse for the night.
After they built the warehouse, lit a fire, and boiled water, Qin Erlang and Qin Sanlang who went to ask the news also returned.
When the family saw them back, they immediately welcomed them into the barn, and before they sat down, they immediately asked, "
Second Brother Qin, Big Brother Qin, how is the situation in Fucheng? Why don't you let us continue our journey south?"
Qin San Lang said: "Some disaster victims in the northwest, northeast, and south have rebelled and seized more than a dozen prefectures.
There is a riot outside. The court had no choice but to do its best to alleviate the disaster." "Jiangnan is
the huge Chu granary, in order to protect the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial palace sent a large army to the He'an Mansion and Linhe Mansion to
stopped the survivors north of the Huai River, and did not allow the survivors to cross the Huai River and
entering the South inland of the Yangtze River." This is the reason why the victims were stopped
