Farm with space

Chapter 10

Yuhui frowned, pulled her hands away with disgust on her face, intentionally distanced herself from Yuxi, and wiped her skirt with her hands, as if she was afraid that some bad smell on Yuxi would offend her upper body, but she was still doing it hypocritically. Superficially, he retorted: "Why did Seventeenth sister say that, I just reminded you kindly."

With good intentions, he would use this attitude, this look, and this tone of voice to speak to his cousin.

Nineteen Niang Yuhui is not young, it is impossible to understand these.In ancient times, children matured earlier, and many women married and had children after they reached the age of Ji.Yuxi didn't want to talk to her any more, and said lightly: "Look at what my nineteenth sister said, I also kindly remind you!"

Yuxi thinks that she is just a touch of soul from modern times, and she has no sense of kinship with the original owner of this body.She can get close to people she approves of and people who treat her well.She doesn't want to pay more attention to those so-called "relatives" who can't get close no matter what they do.

As for her taste of wild food, she hopes to gain the respect of her relatives, but she just hopes that her life will be easier and she will not be looked down upon by others.It is impossible to make everyone like you.It will take time and a process for her to completely regard herself as the Bian Yuxi of this era and integrate into the Bian clan.

Yuhui knew that she couldn't talk about Seventeen Niang, and it was meaningless to say anything else, so she waved her sleeves angrily and strode away, leaving deep and shallow footprints on the small roads in the village.

Yuxi muttered, "I don't know why." She ignored it and knocked on Uncle Bian's door.

Aunt Bian Jinbo, wife of Bian Jinbo, opened the door.Aunt Bian Jin's attitude was extremely unfriendly, and she said, "It's you again, what are you doing here again?"

Aunt Bian Jin has never been friendly to Yuxi.Yuxi didn't understand why, but it didn't affect her relationship with Bian Jinbo.

Yuxi called to the back room: "Uncle Jin, are you there?"

Bian Jinbo, who was cutting a long board, looked up and saw Yuxi, and waved to her with a smile on his face, "It's Yu Shiqiniang. Come, come, sit inside."

After hearing this, Aunt Bian Jin reluctantly let go of her hand by the door and let Yuxi in.

Bian Jinbo picked up the bench beside him, wiped it with his sleeve, and motioned for Yuxi to sit down, "I just took an order from an outsider. It's all dirty inside. Jinyu's mother, go and give it to Yu Shiqiniang." Pour a cup of tea."

Bian Jinlang Bian Jinyu is the eldest son of Bian Jinbo.

Aunt Bian Jin replied angrily: "The tea is gone, so I have to drink water." She said to Aunt Bian Jin Li, who was busy in the kitchen with Uncle Bian Jin's concubine, "Sister Li, Yu Shiqiniang is here. She is thirsty Now, pour her a glass of water."

Yuxi was a little annoyed and asked her to drink clear water, not even boiled water. Aunt Bian Jin's way of hospitality became more and more outrageous.Aunt Bian Jin was afraid that Uncle Bian Jin would be unhappy, so she let her concubine, Aunt Bian Jin Li, take part in it. Anyway, when Yuxi was unhappy, she couldn't turn to her.

However, Aunt Bian Jin didn't expect Uncle Bian Jin to yell at her regardless of her face, "Since you don't want to entertain guests, go back to my room quickly."

Aunt Bian Jin rolled her eyes at Yuxi, walked towards the back room angrily, and muttered in a low voice: "My own daughter doesn't necessarily love her so much, go love someone else's family."

Yuxi also gave her a blank look, too lazy to argue with her.It really doesn't look like an elder at all.

Bian Jinbo picked up a piece of wood and threw it on the ground, making a bang, "What are you waiting for, go back to the back room, it's a disgrace."

Aunt Bian Jin heard the bang, and looked at Uncle Bian in fear.She knew that this husband was usually kind, but he would beat someone when he got angry.Only then did he reluctantly twist the waist of the bucket and go back to the room.

Seeing that Aunt Li hadn't come out of the kitchen, Bian Jinbo sighed in a low voice, "Everyone is worried." After saying that, he planned to go to the kitchen to pour tea for Yuxi himself.

Yuxi hurriedly stopped her and refused, she had the nerve to ask her parents to pour tea for her, and said: "Uncle Jin, I'm not thirsty, I came here to borrow a knife from you."

Bian Jinbo found a sharpened knife from the pile of wood and handed it to Yuxi, asking if she was going to cut wood and weave again.Yuxi nodded and said yes.

Yuxi looked at Bian Jinbo's rough hands with small scars from the small wooden thorns because of his frequent making of wooden furniture. She felt a little sad, and said, "Jinbo made so many wooden furniture and sold them to people outside Guanzhong. There are not many supplies. Why don't you be so busy and rest at home."

Bian Jinbo stopped what he was doing, shook his head sadly and said, "You can't be too busy, otherwise this skill will become unfamiliar to you. It's a pity that you are now a prisoner, and you can't freely enter and leave Guanzhong."

"If you can, you must find someone to inherit the mantle. I only regret that Bo's son is not easy to learn, and no one in the family is willing to learn, but Yu Shiqiniang is not suitable for her daughter. Otherwise, I will pass on the knowledge of wood to you." .” He let out a long sigh.

Yuxi hurriedly said a few words of comfort, and then asked tentatively in a low voice: "If I become an outsider, what will Uncle Jin think?"

After hearing this, Bian Jinbo got up excitedly, and said bluntly, "Absolutely not." He looked outside the house and then at the back room, as if he was worried about being heard.

Bian Jinbo walked up to Yuxi and whispered earnestly, "Yu Shiqiniang, the patriarch will not agree. Do you know why?"

"Why?" Yuxi asked.

"In Nanzhang, apart from exiled people like the Bian and Yi clans, there are some outside households. Let me ask you who are the outside households in Nanzhang Guan?"

In addition to what Bian Jinbo said, there are also some aborigines called Nanmanzi in the southern area of ​​Nanzhang.Most of the Nanman lived in groups, and they had migrated to the south of Nanzhang because they refused to submit to the court after being defeated in the invasion of Guanzhong.

There are very few Nanman who have not surrendered to Nanzhang, and they have been automatically ignored by Bian Jinbo and Yuxi.

Yuxi thought for a while, then stretched out her fingers and began to count in a low voice: "People who have been exiled have just entered their homes, people who have fled from famine, those who commit crimes and hide their names, and those who surrendered to the court. That's about it." She was a little I asked Bian Jinbo uncertainly, not knowing why he asked such a question.

To become a household outside the customs, you need to apply for a report to the neighboring county in the customs. After passing the pass, you can enter the customs to do business. You can be regarded as an informal resident with the court outside the customs. This can be exchanged for grain seeds for the coming year, or more land that has been reclaimed and cultivated can be handed over to the military headquarters to become military fields, which can also be exchanged for grain seeds.

People in exile like the Bian and Yi tribes also had to hand over land taxes in exchange for grain seeds, but they were not allowed to enter and leave Guanzhong freely.

Hearing what Yuxi said, Bian Jinbo nodded in agreement. A child can be taught the way of mind, but he wanted to mention Yuxi further and said, "These are the main types. For example, Wudong Village, which is closer to my village, belongs to the outside households of Nanzhang Pass. Because we are people in exile, we cannot freely enter and exit the customs for merchant activities, and we cannot hold gold and silver, so we can only barter with households outside the customs like Wudong Village. Is it right?"
