Chapter 52 Grandparents

Wei San felt his nose was sore and he couldn't stop crying anymore. Strings of tears rolled down his face. There were people who wanted to adopt him instead of being rejected by others.

She said in a choked tone: "I am willing, I am willing to be your granddaughter." After saying that, she threw herself into the arms of Mrs. Qi, and while shedding tears, the corners of her mouth turned up, "Grandma!"

Mrs. Qi was holding her child with tears in her eyes. Sister Yao was also rubbed to death by her parents back then, and she was beaten to death several times. She finally came to her senses. Now her granddaughter has reached this stage, hey!

She stroked Wei San's hair and said: "Okay! Grandma's good granddaughter, we will be a family from now on." She said in her heart: If your own grandma was here and knew that you were being abused by your parents, I'm afraid she would hold a stick.

Drive them away.

The old lady didn't understand why the five-fang family would do this. Why would some people not love their children? It was really strange that they would ignore their children so much.

Even though Wei San's actions and language were deficient and he didn't have the skills of a girl, it was not the child's fault. It felt very bad to not be able to feel the victim's compensation after returning to the family.

When the seventh lady was at the clan leader's place, she heard complaints from the fifth-fang couple, saying that Wei San's biological daughter was too small-minded and did not want to have a good relationship with Wei Si.

After hearing these words, Mrs. Qi didn't say anything because she and Wu Fang's parents had the opposite idea. Indeed, Wei Si was not wrong. She was just a child and couldn't make the decision.

But what humans love most is to express their anger. Her mother exchanged Wei San for her, and even planned to sell Wei San for money. No matter how you look at it, it is crazy. It is strange that Wei San could not hate Wei Si.

The seventh old lady asked herself that if she were Wei San, she would not be happy to see Wei Si because seeing her would remind her of a place.

Wufang people and Wei Si have lived together for many years, and they do have feelings for each other, which Wei San cannot do by being in love with each other. Wei San has no feelings in patriotism, but only hatred due to a combination of circumstances.

Even if the people in the fifth house don't send Wei Si away for their own benefit, they should definitely focus most of their energy on their own daughter, instead of just ignoring everything and complaining that Wei San can't get the cards.

The seventh old lady knew Wei San's heart problems. She would never have a good impression of Wei San in her life. Don't say that Wei San was too stingy. Who would want to live a good life as a young lady, but some people sold it to him?

Working as a cow or a horse in the countryside?

As soon as Wei San saw Wei Si, he would think of the past. Even if he didn't go up to fight, even if it was good, how could he and Wei Si be a pair of sisters who love each other?

The seventh old lady herself believed that she could not do that kind of thing, so she believed that Wei San's behavior was not wrong at all, and that being able to ignore her would mean that Wei San was very generous.

After Wei San got the approval, she burst into tears. Her body was already a little weak, and she couldn't make up for it even after a long sleep. She had been unable to sleep before. She felt sleepy soon after crying.

, and fell asleep again.

The seventh old lady waited for her to fall asleep and then came out. She saw Wei Ba waiting for her outside, holding a Japanese fan and shaking it gently. He had too many problems today and didn't know what was going on.

.

Although he has never planned to take the imperial examination, he has always accepted Confucianism and has no feelings about gods and ghosts, but he doesn't know why he feels different after seeing Ling Xiao.

He didn't go in just now. After all, Wei San was his cousin. As a man, he was waiting outside. Later, he heard that his cousin had really woken up, which made him feel even weirder. He still hasn't come to his senses yet.

As a very curious person, I have been thinking about what is going on, but I just can’t figure out what is going on. You must know that the old lady spent a lot of effort trying to wake up her cousin, but in the end

All failed.

At that time, when the old lady wanted to invite Ling Xiao, Wei Ba was not too imaginative. Fortunately, Ling Xiao's current appearance was too bluffing, and Wei Ba did not dare to be too presumptuous, otherwise he would just stare at her, but this time Wei Ba

San's awakening still touched him a little, and he knew that Ling Xiao was a truly upright person.

Wei San slept for a long time that day, but he finally woke up early the next morning and could finally go out for a walk. This made Mrs. Qi very happy, so she asked Wei San to rest more during this period, and then she

Send someone to find Ling Xiao and want to pay him a visit.

After Ling Xiao got the invitation, he said to the housekeeper of the seventh room: "Please meet me at the teahouse, Madam." As a man and a woman meet, it is best not to cause gossip, which will not be good for Old Madam Ling Xiao.

.

After hearing this, the old lady nodded in agreement. The next day, accompanied by Wei Ba, she went to the largest teahouse in the town. When she arrived, she saw Ling Xiao playing chess with the original owner. The two of them were very busy and had never seen their grandparents.

arrival.

She walked over and took a look, and saw black and white pieces crisscrossing the chessboard. Wei Ba's eyes lit up when he saw it. He had no doubts about Ling Xiao's chess skills, but he didn't expect that the original owner, a girl, was also a good chess player.

The old lady knew from the look on her grandson's expression that the two were good at chess. She looked a little surprised at the original owner and didn't know how Ling Xiao was trained to be so versatile. She felt that the little girl was pretty good. The only pity was that she didn't have her feet bound.

Although she herself does not agree with foot binding, as someone who has been to the capital, she naturally knows that the nobles in the officialdom support foot binding. Many poets have written poems praising it. Women who do not bind their feet are actually alien.

When she was an old lady with big feet, she was ostracized by the ladies. Even though those ladies could not say anything directly in words, they could whisper and ignore the people they disliked in their communication with each other.

, it makes people feel very bad, because they feel out of place. If your mind is not strong enough, you may not be able to bear it.

Ling Xiao naturally saw something and sighed secretly. The old lady herself did not have her feet bound, but now she still looks at the original owner with regret. Is this the reason why foot binding is so popular? The public agrees with that kind of deformed aesthetic.

, causing women with big feet to live a difficult life, and women have to succumb to reality in order to live a better life.

She didn't say anything. What needs to be done about this matter is for everyone to change their ideas and start taking action! She smiled slightly and said: "Seventh old lady, the child fell asleep again?"

After sitting down, the seventh lady said: "I fell asleep! Thanks to the care of the Taoist priest. The child Guan Guan survived, and I did not commit any murderous crimes and will not starve to death."

It happened that the game of chess was about the same, so the two stopped playing chess. The original owner asked someone to serve tea. Ling Xiao asked: "Seventh Old Madam, do you plan to take good care of that child?"

"Yes, after all these years, I have always wanted to repay Sister Yao, but later I realized that I was powerless and watched her die. This has always been a pity, until I met Wei San, she really looked like Sister Yao.

I originally thought that it would be better for her to stay with her parents as she was still a child, but it turned out that I was wrong. That child really lived a hard life. I believe she will get better this time."

Ling Xiao smiled slightly and said that Wei San would have a good life with the old lady here. The old lady wanted to know where Ling Xiao would settle down in the future and that he could find Ling Xiao if anything happened.

Ling Xiao said that he planned to settle here. The seventh lady was very happy when she heard that. After knowing that the Taoist Master planned to settle here, she asked someone to ask where there was a suitable house.

With the help of the Wei family, Ling Xiao spent his money to buy a not-too-big house and some not-too-much land, but found that he had too little money, which meant he needed to make money.

You must know that the original owner needs a large dowry to get married. She doesn't care about money, but if a girl these days does not have a dowry, it is really difficult to raise her head. What should I do?

As for the Song mother and son, they also need money to continue their studies. These need to be prepared by Ling Xiao. The other people are not able to earn money because both the original owner and Dalang Erlang are still too young...

So how can you make money? Make money by doing your own business? You must know that people at this time despised businessmen. Shen Wansan was rich, right? He also funded Zhu Chongba's uprising, but was eventually tricked by the emperor and treated as a fat sheep.

She doesn't know how to be a businessman, so she should look elsewhere to see how she can make money.

Ling Xiao remembered that he could go fishing for some pearls. Speaking of which, he didn't know if the freshwater pearl farming industry had emerged at this time, but in later generations, freshwater pearls were not very valuable, but seawater pearls were still very valuable.

I remember that in later generations, a pearl cost tens of thousands. Those with beautiful colors and small quantities were more expensive. Pearls are still an expensive jewelry material.

Remembering that Hepu pearls were very famous, as well as Dongzhu, which was famous in history, she thought about it for a moment. It required the pearl people to dive down to retrieve the pearls, which was very dangerous, but it was also necessary for them to support their families.

Ling Xiao felt that it would be easy if he used the puppet's body to collect pearls, but it would be equivalent to robbing the pearl people of their livelihood, so he decided to go to more dangerous places to collect pearls instead of robbing the pearl people's business.

In addition, she has been in this world for a few years and has always had to take care of the original owner, so she is basically trapped here. It is better to take the opportunity to go out under the banner of making money, just so that others can integrate into the world.

Ling Xiao planned to entrust the original owner and the Song family to the seventh old lady, and a puppet was responsible for their safety and was left to take care of them, so she talked to the old lady.

The seventh old lady didn't say anything when she found out. A girl's dowry is very important. Even a poor family must have some. If not, they will definitely be ridiculed. Even the sisters-in-law compare themselves with each other. There is a chain of contempt. I

Talent did not stop Ling Xiao from going out.

And Ling Xiao was very happy, because after traveling through this world, she was a child at first, and later became a girl when she grew up. It was not very convenient to go out in every aspect.

Now that he has this puppet body, he can walk around. Ling Xiao asked the seventh old lady to send the original owner to study. The eldest son and the second son of the Song family also wanted to study. She told them to pay attention to one thing when studying: don't study hard.

, to become a pedantic person.

It happened that during this period of time, Ling Xiao's phantom formation was completely completed, so he started to try it out in several nearby counties. As a result, when they went to bed at night, the sleeping adults dreamed that their feet were bound.

The kind of pain that is so painful that it makes sleeping adults unable to sleep well at night. It is really too painful, and the little feet are ravaged again and again in order to achieve a beautiful appearance.

The most terrifying thing was that they discovered what the real feet looked like after they were bound. Before, they didn't know what kind of foot binding cloth women's feet were wrapped in.

I also discovered why women have to wear special sleeping shoes when sleeping. The smell of foot binding is not very good. To put it bluntly, many people wake up due to the smell.

After several days in a row, some of these men actually came to see what real little feet looked like, so their liking for the three-inch golden lotus dropped greatly.

Confucian scholars will also be asked one thing: the hair and skin of the body are given to parents and do not dare to be damaged. This is the beginning of filial piety. So why is it that women are not even allowed to cut their hair, but women are required to mutilate their own feet one by one?

This sentence made more people realize that the so-called three-inch golden lotus hurts people's feet, so this matter gradually spread, and the three-inch golden lotus is not advisable.

The puppets took the magic array to various places and began to do it. Many similar things happened in other places. As a result, fewer and fewer men liked the three-inch golden lotus. As a result, aesthetics were corrected and the strong pursuit of small feet was gradually despised.

.

After Ling Xiao was determined, he felt relieved and prepared to go to sea. He bought a small boat at first, and after going to sea, he replaced it with the magical weapon boat that he had refined before. It looked similar to ordinary boats, but in fact it was absolutely different.

After a lot of wind and rain, we have reached many places. Some places are still wilderness, and some places have so-called empires. Along the way, we have also drawn charts.

Although she doesn't need to be afraid of wind and rain, if someone wants to go out for development, they will need a sea chart. Anyway, she has more time to draw it now.

As for good things, she could easily get them. She remembered that sweet potatoes, potatoes, and peppers had only appeared in this dynasty. She still wanted to visit those places of origin.

Along the way, Ling Xiaocong visited all the continents and collected a lot of good things, some of which were precious rough gemstones, deep-sea pearls, and some very interesting things. While she was studying, she was looking for plant seeds.

Because her current puppet body is much stronger than that of a mortal, she was still very safe along the way. She traveled to various continents and met many natives.

Because she did not need to eat, she did not contact the indigenous people, nor did she disturb their lives. At this time, due to inconvenient transportation, people on some continents lived in isolation.

At this time, there were no foreign criminals in either the Americas or Australia, and the natives on the original land were still living very freely, and they had no idea what would happen later.
