Chapter 6 The Unknown Farmer's Woman

"Old man, I don't know, so please speak frankly." After thinking about it for a long time, I still didn't understand the meaning of Fang Chen's words. Instead of talking nonsense, it would be better to put my attitude straight and say that I don't understand.

Fang Chen looked at the hunched-over, sallow-looking refugees and said coldly: "Humans and animals!"

Old Man Mu trembled slightly, and then smiled bitterly. What he said made sense. People and animals do not speak lies.

The Tang Dynasty was an unprecedented prosperous age, and it was also a terrible era!

During this era, Li Yuan and his son conquered the country, and Li Er created the prosperous age of Zhenguan, which caused all the small countries to submit to the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. In the next three hundred years, the country was stable, so it can be regarded as a prosperous dynasty!

But in this era, apart from this superficial prosperity, the people at the grassroots level are in extreme pain. They suffer disasters every year and are miserable every day. After finally calming down for a few years, Li Er, who has a lot of thoughts, launched

foreign wars.

Another extremely important thing is that the first empress in history appeared in the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian.

However, the awakening of women's rights was not started by Wu Zetian, but by Li Er's sisters, including his precious daughters.

Some people say that when you marry a princess in the Tang Dynasty, you always have to worry about the green garden in your back garden.

But if you think about it carefully, Li Shimin has so many daughters, and it’s not too much for some of them to do something extraordinary, right?

It would be unfair if all the princesses were implicated.

What's more, is this kind of marriage without the right of choice really what the princesses want? They were just born in a dynasty that should not make mistakes, so they were recorded by historians to serve as a warning to future generations.

In future generations, if you marry a wife, most of them will be second-hand, or even dozens of hands. If you want an original imported wife, you have to start looking for one from elementary school.

There is nothing wrong with pursuing happiness, but what is wrong is that the way they pursue it is a bit shameful.

But if you change your way of thinking and become that women can marry more and men need to keep their moral integrity, things will be completely different.

"I'm going crazy!"

After controlling the random thoughts in his mind, Fang Chen looked at the bitter old man in front of him and shook his head slightly.

I don’t know what happened just now. I was just thinking of some useless things. Can the princess marry more? She has a half-cent relationship with me, so even if she is attracted by someone, won’t she run away?

He couldn't help but feel happy, which made Old Man Mu even more confused and didn't know what was wrong with this kid.

"What are you looking at? Is there anything good to see!"

After glaring at Old Man Mu, Fang Chen continued to move forward with Liu and his daughter.

This time, Old Man Mu had no idea how to stop Fang Chen, and his raised hands showed his powerlessness.

"I asked, what is your real name?" When asked before, the woman only said that she was called Mrs. Liu, which made Fang Chen a little uncomfortable. Doesn't she have a name?

After walking for a while, Fang Chen asked Mrs. Liu next to him.

Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "The woman is unknown. My father's surname is Liu. She was originally married to the Zhang family from the same village. Unfortunately, her husband is dead now and both her parents are no longer alive."

"What about this little girl?"

A soft look flashed in Mrs. Liu's eyes: "Qiao'er, this is a nickname given by her man. When she grows up, her last name will be the main one."

"Why?" Did women in ancient times have no names? Fang Chen was full of curiosity.

Mrs. Liu smiled bitterly and said: "Young master, although we are common people, our family is poor and we don't know how to write, so how can we give a baby a name? It's enough to call a girl by a cheap name. As for a girl having a surname and a given name, that can only

It is a home of scholars or a place of officials."

Seeing that Fang Chen still had doubts on his face, Ms. Liu smiled and said: "There are six brothers and sisters in the house of a common woman, and the youngest and grandson are the most favored ones in the family. It's a pity that even a common woman can't occupy it, and it's not

For a boy to be raised to such a big age and find a good family to marry, it is considered a kindness of the elders in the family, otherwise the common woman would have been thrown into the fields long ago and allowed to be eaten by wild beasts."

Fang Chen felt very sad when he heard that he should have been favored at this age! Unlike himself, as the only son in the family, he had to support the family. He sighed in his heart, it was really a virtuous woman in ancient times, being treated like this by her parents,

There is not even a trace of resentment in my heart.

"Do you still have any relatives alive?"

"No, my parents-in-law have passed away. The common woman only asked for two acres of land in Chang'an so that she can raise her Qiaoer."

When Fang Chen heard this, he stopped talking and asked what was going on when people were sad. Looking at the vast blue sky, the tension in his heart dissipated a lot.

"As long as you have come, take care of yourself, life will always go on."

He comforted himself a few words in a low voice, and then forced himself to put on a smiling face.

Being dignified in front of others is a common habit of flower growers, and Fang Chen is no exception. The more uncomfortable he feels in his heart, the happier his face will look.

He often thinks of his mother's teachings when she was seriously ill: "If you don't love yourself, how can your mother and I leave in peace?"

Yes, he promised his mother to take care of himself!

"Young Master?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Why are you crying?"

"My eyes were blurred by the wind and sand, and I felt a little uncomfortable."

"Oh, I was also fascinated by wind and sand when I was a child. My mother blew it for me at that time. Do you want me to help you blow it?"

"Ahem... no need..."

Simple, too simple. If it weren't for his age, Fang Chen would definitely make fun of her.

Looking at this era, and then thinking back to the future generations, when I meet a beautiful woman who is attracted by my heart, I thought she was very pure, but in the end, the dirty jokes in my mouth can throw me out of dozens of streets.

"Big brother......"

Qiao'er struggled to break free from Mrs. Liu's hands, ran to Fang Chen's side with her calves, and stared at him with her little head raised.

"What's wrong?"

"When Qiao'er grows up, will you be your elder brother's wife?"

Fang Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes up. Fang Chen was a little helpless. You are only three years old, can you think of something better?

By chance, you can find a wife with just one meal? This gift is so cheap!

From the corner of his eye, he saw Liu's face turning slightly rosy, but he didn't stop her. Instead, he sped up a lot.

"Girl, let's wait until you grow up to talk about these things."

After casually passing the little girl over, Fang Chen grabbed Mrs. Liu.

"Let's rest here for a while and have breakfast."

Chatting, walking, and Fang Chen's random thoughts, it was already a long way from where they were before they left.

"Um......"

Mrs. Liu was pulled by Fang Chen, the red color on her face never dimmed. At the same time, she was very curious, what is breakfast? There is no such food as breakfast among the five grains?

Asking Ms. Liu to put her backpack on the ground, Fang Chen started to spin around and soon caught two snakes.

"Sir, this is poisonous, don't dare to eat it!"

Mr. Liu hurriedly stepped forward to stop it. Fang Chen smiled lightly and said: "It's poisonous or not. Only those who have eaten it will know. Have you eaten it?"

Ms. Liu shook her head, a little cautious.

On the other hand, Fang Chen cut off the heads of two snakes with a military thorn, threw them into a pit, and dug two handfuls of soil to cover them.

"Peel off the skin, remove the internal organs, and then you can eat the rest."

He was still too young. If Fang Chen really let him do it himself, I'm afraid skinning these two snakes would tire him out half to death.

Fortunately, Mrs. Liu is here, so I can just leave this kind of work to her. Otherwise, I will just be a burden and still have to earn a living, which is not a good thing no matter how I look at it.

"Qiao'er, pick up some wood branches and bring them back."

"good!"
