In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 7
In early July, Zhao and Rui returned to Shaoxing with their brother and mother.

Uncle Quan Baochang knew that the two brothers had been driven back to Shaoxing, his face was rather ugly, and he kept sighing.

Because before going there, the neighbors in the neighborhood thought that the two brothers were going to make a comeback. At that time, the whole street was full of fanfare, beating gongs and drums to see them off, and even the county government sent people over.

Now the two brothers returned to their hometown in desperation, the surrounding area was desolate, and the chief security officer was ashamed.

The eldest brother Zhao Yuju was in a very bad mood. It was already afternoon when they got home, so they hid in the room directly, neither practicing calligraphy nor reading, let alone thanking uncle, and did not even come out for dinner.

When Zhao Yurui returned home, the first thing she did was to visit her uncle and express her gratitude.

The head of security was a little surprised, because before going to Lin'an, the attitudes of the two brothers were completely opposite to what they are now.

At that time, the younger brothers Zhao and Rui only knew how to play and sleep late, while the older brothers Zhao and Ju were polite and more stable.

Quan Baochang is also a strange person, otherwise Yu Tianxi would not have deceived Yu Tianxi to bring the two brothers to Lin'an.

At that time, he said: "Yu Rui is not discouraged, he has survived setbacks, and he will have a chance to stand out in the future."

Zhao Yurui was delighted to hear that, and was about to be polite, but the chief of security suddenly reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Tomorrow morning the fields will be weeded, so you can accompany uncle."

"..." Zhao Yurui.

As soon as Zhao Yurui got home, she received the task of weeding the fields tomorrow, and went back to her room very depressed.

There is no way, the places they live in now belong to their uncles, and it is normal for them to send someone under the fence to help with some farm work, let alone their own uncles.

The uncle's house had dinner later than Yu Tianxi's house, and no one came to call for dinner until about 06:30 in later generations.

It was my uncle's son and cousin Quan Yong who came to ask Zhao Yurui to eat.

Quan Yong's mother died early, and he was the same age as Zhao and Rui, but he is physically strong, half taller than Zhao and Rui, and has a similar personality to Zhao and Rui, more playful, and the two have a good relationship.

Quan Yong often plays with Zhao Yurui and doesn't like Zhao Yuju.

There were no entertainment activities in this ancient time, so after eating, Zhao Yurui wanted to go back to the house.

Quan Yong followed him all the way to talk to him, and followed him all the way to his room.

Zhao Yurui wanted to send him away, but thinking about the good character of this cousin, they chatted with him.

Quan Yong was always asking about his experience in Lin'an, and it was obvious that he was looking forward to going to Lin'an.

While chatting, Quan Yong suddenly looked left and right, and lowered his voice ghostly: "After you left, Mrs. Xu asked me several times, asking when you will come back."

"..." Zhao Yurui looked dull, and after a while, a figure slowly appeared in his mind.

An evil smile appeared on Quan Yong's face at this time: "Cousin, tell the truth, have you succeeded?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Zhao Yurui was choked, and immediately acted annoyed: "Who do you think I am, how can I do such a thing."

Quan Yong's expression was dubious, and he disturbed his head: "If you don't get it, don't get it, if you don't, sooner or later it will be cheaper for others."

Zhao Yurui stared at him, and suddenly said: "You are not allowed to mess around."

Quan Yong raised his head and stared at him, then smiled: "I knew you succeeded."

"..." Zhao Yurui.

Quan Yong stayed in his room for a quarter of an hour before leaving.

Zhao Yurui slowly thought of Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu is a neighbor on the street, and she is also the wife of Wang Xin, a resident of the security chief.

At the beginning of Xining, Wang Anshi turned to recruiting soldiers and implemented the Baojia system. At this time in the Southern Song Dynasty, ten households were one guarantor with a chief guarantor, fifty households were one guarantor with a chief guarantor, and ten guarantors were one capital guarantor. Du Baozheng and Deputy Du Baozheng.

Wang Xin was the head of security before Quan Baozhang, but later died of a serious illness, leaving behind his widowed wife Xu.

Mrs. Xu is a bit pretty, no, she is pretty, and there are quite a few men coveting her in the whole street, even Zhao Yurui's uncle, Quan Baozhang, took good care of her.

But there are many gossips in front of widows, especially beautiful widows, so Mrs. Xu is often harassed. Last year, Mrs. Xu was stopped by the river by Qi Bin, the son of another security guard on the street. , jumping directly into the river.

Zhao and Rui happened to pass by, so they jumped into the river to save Mrs. Xu, and the two became skin-to-skin relatives in the water.

After that, Mrs. Xu approached Zhao Yurui intentionally or unintentionally.

But Zhao Yurui was young, so she didn't dare to think about it. Every time she saw Mrs. Xu, she avoided it.

"What the hell, Zhao and Rui have broken so many things." Zhao Yurui quickly fell asleep after recalling these memories.

The next morning, when it was still dark, Quan Yong woke up Zhao Yurui and handed him a thick rice cake.

The thick rice cakes are hard to eat, but after soaking in water, it is their breakfast.

Brother Zhao and Ju didn't come out. I heard that they were in a bad mood and needed to read and write.

When the two brothers reached the outer door, there were already several people outside.

Quan Baochang's house is weeding today, and everyone who can help Baoli has come.

The Baochang in the Southern Song Dynasty had the right to urge taxes and taxes, dispatch labor, and also assist in maintaining local law and order and arresting thieves. Although he had no salary and was not an official official of the court, he had a lot of power, so seven or eight people came to help today.

There were men and women in the crowd, but Zhao Yurui saw Xu Shi at a glance.

Xu has a round face, a plump figure, and is relatively tall. She is said to be a widow, but in fact she may be under 20 years old. Although she is wearing a coarse cloth dress, she is really outstanding in appearance, and she looks even more mature and beautiful. The image of the peasant woman is quite different.

No wonder my uncle also took good care of her, and said that if Quan Yong didn't think that she was too old, this woman would have wanted Quan Yong to marry her.

She stood out in the crowd, and every man and woman in Paulie looked at her at all times.

Before Zhao Yurui came out, she kept her head down and didn't speak.

When she heard Zhao Yurui's voice, she raised her head, glanced at Zhao Yurui quickly, a gleam of joy flashed in her eyes, and lowered her head again.

"Quan Yong." Uncle Quan Baochang called out suddenly.

"Ah, daddy?" Quan Yong was puzzled.

"Why do you have to tell me every time?" Chief Quan Bao said angrily, "I don't know how to help Aunt Xu take the burden?"

"Good." Quan Yong stuck out his tongue, rolled his eyes at Zhao Yurui, and walked over to help Mrs. Xu pick up the burden on the ground.

Mrs. Xu cooked some lunches for everyone, probably rice balls, pickled vegetables and steamed buns.

She didn't refuse either, because it didn't work either.

"Let's go, let's go." At this moment, the chief of security, like a general leading the army, waved his hand, and everyone followed him to the field.

People in the Song Dynasty were quite gossipy, and someone chased Zhao Yurui on the road to ask about Lin'an.

Zhao Yurui kept answering, elder brother is steady and decent, knowledgeable and courteous, I just went to show off, and said, life and death are up to you, wealth is up to you, don't keep asking, let's help uncle with the farm work in the field first .

The security chief laughed loudly when he heard this: "Don't ask, just concentrate on working today."
