In feudal society, men are superior to women, and women have always been men's accessories and have no status at all.

A daughter of a good family would be much better off if she were a commoner, but if she fell into slavery, her fate would be life or death. Even if she was beaten to death by her master, she would have no way to redress her injustice.

Xiao Qi may be lucky, she knows this very well.

Countless nights, she secretly rejoiced that meeting the young master and his son, her life could be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Who would have thought that a slave would be treated with such pity and love by his master? It would be no less generous than the daughter of a rich family, let alone a commoner's family.

Subconsciously, she was deeply poisoned by the yoke of feudalism.

Where can anyone raise a servant like this? Madam must have trained her in the direction that Goudanniang said.

As for whether she was right? That's true.

Although Li Xiuying was a well-educated lady, she was still a woman with serious feudal ideas in her heart.

This is no wonder to her, after all, this is the main theme of the times, and it is not something she can compete with.

She laughed off Goudanniang's words, obviously acquiescing to them.

Zheng Changsheng knew that whatever he said at this moment was useless. God had already decreed that a man should have three wives and four concubines, and have descendants.

His mother, Li Xiuying, warned him more than once, even though he was still a child over four years old.

It was impossible to change his mother's thinking in a short period of time. He could only smile first and talk slowly in the future, since he was still young anyway.

When the attractive aroma of the white rice in the steamer comes out, it is also time to eat after work.

The young men were talking, laughing and wiping their sweat as they gathered towards here.

Every time at this time, Xiao Qi would stand with his hands on his waist and stare at these men angrily.

If anyone doesn't wash their dirty paws before eating, she will explode like a little lion.

This is the right given to her by the young master. If anyone fails to abide by it, it will definitely not work.

When everyone is having a meal, it is also a time for the old patriarch to give lectures and summaries.

These young men were divided into five squads, and the squad leaders gathered around the old patriarch to listen to the training.

To be precise, I just followed Zheng Changsheng's instructions, and the old patriarch was playing the drum beside him.

"We need to hurry up. There is still a little bit of road left in the village. Even if we light up the torch after dinner, we have to finish it.

Then everyone can have a day off." Zheng Changsheng said in a decent manner, imitating the tone of the old patriarch.

Wow, just before everyone had time to get excited, the old patriarch took over what Zheng Changsheng said,

"Where can we go? Although it is said that the village has been repaired, it is more than two miles from the village entrance to the small stone bridge. We must hurry up. The county magistrate may come to inspect one day. How can we rest?"

Zheng Changsheng said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not up to the patriarch, because it's going to rain tomorrow."

The old patriarch Zheng Sanwang frowned and nodded: "Well, we have to hurry up. Brother Sheng said that it will rain tomorrow. Everyone must complete the work in the village today."

Now everyone has no doubt that Zheng Changsheng can predict the weather.

At first he said it would rain the next day, but no one believed him, but when it actually rained, people remembered the prediction of having a baby brother.

If the old patriarch hadn't found out the whole story and explained to everyone what was going on, I'm afraid the people in the village would have really regarded Zheng Changsheng as a star in the sky descending to earth.

Actually, this is nothing. The humidity in the air has just become thicker.

Although the old patriarch couldn't figure out what Brother Sheng was talking about about the humidity, he still believed it. Because all this knowledge that Brother Sheng said was from books.

The book was given to him by myself, a treasure left behind by our ancestors.

If you don't even believe in your ancestors, then are you still a descendant of the Zheng family?

After finishing the training and discussing what to do next, the old patriarch and the five squad leaders sat at a small table and started a small stove.

Each person had a bowl of fragrant fatty meat slices, which had been prepared in advance, and the old patriarch also had a bowl of wax wine to drink.

This is a privilege, and it is useless for anyone to envy it.

The old patriarch takes a sip of meat and a sip of wine, it's so beautiful!

Xiao Qi came over mysteriously: "Master, how did you know it was going to rain tomorrow?"

Zheng Changsheng patted her forehead and said, "Want to know? The young master will teach you."

The old patriarch's hands that were holding meat stopped in mid-air, and he listened with his ears tilted.

"There is a farmer's proverb in the book: If you don't go out at dawn, the sunset will travel thousands of miles.

In other words, if there is morning glow in the morning, it is a sign that it will rain tomorrow; if there is sunset glow in the evening, don’t worry, it will definitely be a sunny day the next day.”

"Oh, so that's what it is! Young master is great. The more you read, the better. I heard people say that a scholar knows everything about the world without going out." Xiao Qi said with sudden realization as he rubbed the forehead that Zheng Changsheng had patted.

The old patriarch nodded frequently, and even eating meat felt more delicious.

He is indeed a child prodigy. In just a few months, he was able to read the books handed down from his ancestors so thoroughly, and he was able to learn and apply them flexibly. I am so impressed.

The next day, sure enough, it rained for the first time since the beginning of winter.

The winter rain after the frost fell on his neck, which was bone-chillingly cold. If his mother hadn't allowed it, he would have really wanted to get wet.

The green hills, quiet countryside, farmyards, and walking in the rain are all poetic and picturesque.

Zheng Changsheng and Xiao Qi stood under the eaves of the corridor, stretching out their little hands to catch the raindrops.

Later, when he was a child, this was one of his favorite things.

Whenever it rains, he gets extremely excited and has a great time playing with his friends, catching more rain than anyone else.

Moreover, when the teacher is not paying attention, he will drink the rainwater that he has caught, as if he had eaten bee dung.

It is said that time passes silently and it is difficult to turn back time. But God really played a big joke on him, allowing him to relive his childhood again.

How can you miss this fun thing?

But just when he was about to put the rainwater in his palm into his mouth, his mother appeared at the right time.

He pulled him over and wiped his little hands with a dry towel.

"Let's go with mother to see the master."

Zheng Changsheng sighed helplessly. Even though he really didn't want to see his master, that old guy who couldn't change his ways and didn't care what he said, but seeing his mother's solemn expression, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

The master's status in mother's heart is even worse than that of the old patriarch.

It is true to say that teachers are respected, but my mother has a kind of blind respect.

As long as it comes from the mouth of the master who has lost two front teeth, even if it is a trivial matter, it will be a big deal in the eyes of the mother and the old patriarch.

At this time, the mother had to clean up herself and go to see the Master with her. I don’t know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
