Chapter 30: Beat
Qin Xinfang put the seafood drying at home in the back basket and put it away, and once again instructed the two children in front of him, “Be sure to follow the people in the same village. If you get scattered, go directly to the yamen, and don’t wander around. Take the money bag, Don’t worry if it’s gone, go to the yamen and report the address of your home and ask them to bring you home, we will be very grateful.”
Gu Jingyun felt that his uncle looked down on him too much, and said impatiently, “How stupid are we to not even know the way home?”
“Then do you recognize the way to the county seat now?”
“I don’t know,” Gu Jingyun said confidently: “But it won’t be long before I recognize it.”
Gu Jingyun is still very confident in his ability to recognize the way, and he will recognize it after walking through it.
Qin Xinfang helplessly looked at his confident nephew, and could only go to instruct the three brothers of the Zhang family.
Zhang Erlang helped to tie the back basket to the scooter, patted Qin Xinfang’s chest and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Qin, we will definitely bring you back to you in perfect condition.”
Other teenagers in the village also gathered with scooters and expressed that they would take care of Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun, so that Qin Xinfang could rest assured.
Zhang Sanlang picked up Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu and put them on the scooter. He smiled at Qin Xinfang and He Zipei: “Look, then they don’t even have to leave. Master Qin, shouldn’t you be relieved?”
Qin Xinfang groaned and waved goodbye to the children.
The teenagers counted the number of people, and immediately went out to the village in a lively manner. At this time, it was not yet dawn, and the morning star was hanging high in the air to illuminate the way for them.
Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu were the first time to leave adults to go to such a distant place, and they were extremely excited.
didn’t notice Qin Xinfang, who was looking at them reluctantly from behind.
Qin Xinfang laughed angrily, “Two unscrupulous little things, don’t even look back.”
He Zipei couldn’t help but rolled his eyes at him, “Who told me not to worry? He also taught me not to tie the children’s footsteps.”
Qin Xinfang touched his nose and said, “What’s the matter? I haven’t stopped them, but I can’t let it go.”
He Zipei snorted softly, looked at the direction where the children disappeared, and said worriedly: “Although Jingyun is smart, he is proud and conceited. I’m just afraid that he will cause trouble in the city.”
“Don’t worry, there is Baolu here, don’t look at that child, but she is the most careful and stable. The thing that used fire to open up wasteland was that she kept giving advice on the side, otherwise I was really afraid that Jingyun would directly throw fire. Burn all the weeds.”
“But no matter how careful she is, she is only over three years old.”
He Zipei has always regarded Gu Jingyun as his own son, how could he not be worried?
Qin Xinfang knew that persuasion was useless, and said directly: “Jingyun and Baolu have gone to the county seat, and there is no one to relieve the boredom of my sister. Please accompany her more today.”
He Zipei’s attention was immediately distracted, she hurriedly turned back to the backyard, “I made millet porridge for Wen Yin, and I almost forgot.”
Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu, who were sitting on the scooter, were looking at the scenery on both sides of the road with great interest with their round eyes.
Although the sky was dark, nothing could be seen, but with the breeze blowing and sitting on the swaying scooter, the two felt that the scenery at this time was the most beautiful in the world.
The teenagers also obviously felt that the scenery was unique at this time, and one teenager simply sang a song at the top of his voice.
After singing , many people joined in harmony, and for a while, the mountains were filled with the singing voices of young people.
Li Baolu thought it was very nice, but she couldn’t understand the lyrics. She listened to her sideways for a long time and could only understand the first two words “Harvest Year”. She couldn’t help but turn her head and asked Gu Jingyun in a low voice, “What are they singing?”
“Sing ‘The Harvest Year’,” Li Baolu explained when he saw that his eyes were dazed, “You haven’t read the Book of Songs, so you don’t understand it. This is one of the Zhou Songs. There are too many millets in a good year, and there are also tall trees, trillions of dollars. And my sister. It is wine for the sake of wine, and the ancestors and concubines are brought to the fore. It is used to negotiate a hundred rituals, and it will bring blessings to all Confucius.”
Gu Jingyun looked at the happy teenagers and said thoughtfully: “The autumn harvest is almost here, they are praying for a good harvest.”
“Will there be a bumper harvest this year?”
Gu Jingyun hesitated for a moment and said, “It should be, I didn’t hear from my uncle that there will be disasters this year.”
The two children looked at each other and raised the corners of their mouths happily.
The first village of Sin Village is quite far from the county seat. Based on their walking distance, it is estimated that they will be able to reach it in the evening. Before that, they have to go to the first village of Xiangshan Village, where the chief is located, to get a seal and release.
Criminals who leave the crime village must report to the li chief, and need to sign and seal, otherwise they will be regarded as fleeing, and the household registration must be checked when entering and leaving the city gate. If they do not have the seal, they will be arrested as fugitives.
Through this law, the imperial court can firmly control the personal freedom of criminals, not afraid of them smuggling back home.
Because they don’t have the signature and seal of the chief, it is impossible for them to even leave the village, and to leave Qiongzhou Prefecture requires the signature and consent of the Qiongzhou County Government.
As soon as the motorcade entered the first village of Xiangshan Village, Li Baolu saw a long queue in front of her. Obviously, there were a lot of people who wanted to go out of the village.
However, the speed of the team’s progress is quite fast. The rijong opened the household registration and just asked the other party where to go, and then he immediately stamped the seal. He didn’t ask in detail.
As a result, the long queue was quickly reduced, and it was Li Baolu’s turn.
Gu Jingyun is a good citizen. He does not need the permission of the rior to come and go, but Li Baolu does.
When arrived in front of the chief, Gu Jingyun took out his household registration and handed it to the chief. He pointed to Li Baolu beside him and said, “She is going to the county seat.”
Li Chang was about to affix his seal when he suddenly looked down at the two children at the table and was surprised, “Yeah, it was Jing Yun.”
looked left and right, but didn’t see Qin Xinfang or He Zipei, he couldn’t help frowning and asked, “Why are there only you two little babies, where are your uncles and aunts?”
“We went to the county town with people from the same village. My aunt and uncle didn’t go.”
Li Chang saw that the advance and retreat were moderate, and Gu Jingyun, who was not stage fright, sighed: “Your uncle has such a generous heart, and I’m not afraid that the two of you will be lost in the city.”
After saying “click”, he stamped it on the household registration book and handed it to Gu Jingyun. He touched Li Baolu’s little head and said, “Don’t be afraid when you are questioned when you enter the city. Just follow the people in the same village.”
Li Baolu nodded her head and gave him a sweet smile, “I see, thank you, Grandpa Lichang.”
Li Chang stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction. He felt that the children from the official family were different. When his grandson was three years old, he couldn’t even speak clearly.
Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu walked aside hand in hand, waiting for others to stamp their seals.
Li Baolu looked at the household registration book in his hand, and whispered, “Brother Jingyun, give me a look.”
On the day of the engagement, Chang arrived and moved her name from the Li family to the Qin family, but she did not see the name on the household registration, so she never knew what her household registration was in ancient times.
Gu Jingyun unfolded it to show her.
The head of the household is Qin Xinfang, Li Baolu’s name is on the third page, and the relationship with the head of the household is the righteous daughter.
Li Baolu was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the relationship column and asked, “Am I not your wife?”
“You haven’t married me yet, so you can’t be moved to my mother’s household registration,” Gu Jingyun glanced at the busy Lichang, and whispered, “You are a criminal and you have to pay taxes. There is only one less charge, so you have to wait until you grow up and marry me before you can put your name in my name, and change from sin to good.”
Li Baolu couldn’t help but pouted and said in a low voice, “I saw my uncle gave him money that day, why is he still greedy for this little money?”
She doesn’t believe how much money she can withdraw by herself, how many copper coins at most a year, even this is reluctant?
Gu Jingyun said, “One thing is one point. My uncle said that his family is also very difficult, not to mention a few copper coins, he is reluctant to give up even half of it.”
Li Baolu was stunned, “Then the things sent from the capital passed his hands, how could they still be delivered to our house?”
Gu Jingyun smiled and said: “That’s why he said that his character is decent, and he never deducts things sent from outside, so everyone is willing to take some things to honor him, and the relationship between each other is not bad. You see, so many people want to go out, he But he never interrogates him. As long as the household registration matches that of the person, he will always sign the reason if he gives a reason. Therefore, everyone will supervise each other, and anyone who wants to escape privately will block or report to prevent him from being implicated.”
“If he is implicated, he will only become more strict in the future. In the end, it is ourselves who suffer.” Although Gu Jingyun was young, he heard these principles from his uncle and aunt since he was a child.
He looked at Li Baolu with deep eyes and said, “So after you enter the city, you have to follow me closely, but don’t lose it, or your uncle and aunt will suffer, and the whole village will suffer because of you.”
This is because Li Baolu left him and ran away.
Li Baolu was startled, looked at her little arms and legs, looked up at Gu Jingyun and asked, “How can I run like this?”
Gu Jingyun blushed and said uncomfortably, “I didn’t say you run away, but I told you not to lose it.”
Obviously wanting to cover up, Li Baolu snorted twice, seeing a little uneasy in his expression, and said, “I won’t run away, I’m still waiting for you to become a good citizen after you marry me.”
Gu Jingyun felt relieved, raised his chin and said, “Don’t worry, I will marry you when I grow up.”
Li Baolu said to him when he was relieved: “You should read less miscellaneous books, what kind of books have you been reading recently, and you think that I will run away?”
Gu Jingyun turned his head away without speaking, and made up his mind not to admit it.
Recently, he read miscellaneous notes, which occasionally recorded that there was a child bride in a certain place who could not bear the torture of her husband’s family and escaped. After being arrested, she was told by Shen Tangzhi that he felt that his family treated Baolu very well and that Baolu should not run away, but he felt that he was treating her very well. No matter how good it is, it can’t compare to her biological parents. He is not sure what she thinks, so he can only beat her like this.
