Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Although Xu Li left home when he was five or six years old, he has a very good memory, and his brother looks just like him.

And he has more than one brother, probably two.

Xu Tiezhu is the oldest.

He had a vague impression of his other two brothers. The second brother had a weird temper and was a bit gloomy; the third brother was the opposite. He smiled all day long, was very capable, well-behaved, and loved him very much.

The third brother always protected him and always sighed and said, "Xiao Pang, when I have money one day, I will let you eat well, wear warm clothes and live in a big house."

It’s a pity that after his mother died, he was taken to the palace.

ah~

Xu Li does not hate his brother and sister-in-law.

Even though his brother and sister-in-law sold him to the palace to be a eunuch for ten taels of silver, and even though he was hungry and beaten by his brother and sister-in-law when he was a child, Xu Li really didn't hate them.

The countryside is poor, and brothers and sisters-in-law are not parents. Selling out brothers for their own children is... understandable.

Thinking of this, Xu Li took out a handkerchief to wipe his brother's tears and comforted him, "Brother, I miss you day and night, but now everything is fine."

Xu Tiezhu sobbed and told his brother about the difficulties he had encountered over the years, which made Xu Li shed tears.

The village head asked the brothers to sit down and talk slowly, and then told Aunt Xu San: "Hurry up and cook. Use the best meat, vegetables, and rice."

Aunt Xu San naturally understood that Xu Li was accompanied by the county magistrate himself, and that a high branch that he could never climb in eight lifetimes was right in front of him, so she had to treat him well.

Aunt Xu San immediately pulled her daughter Xu Xiaomei to cook.

Xu Xiaomei was only twelve years old. She was not yet born when Xu Li was sold and had no impression of Xu Li.

"Mom, is this Xu Lizhen Xu Tiezhu's brother?"

"Yes, Xu Tiezhu and Liu Ermei are really lucky." Aunt Xu San sighed, "They sold all three brothers, and when they saw that there was nothing left to sell, they didn't expect this fat boy to give them money again. Oh, comparing yourself with others is really frustrating!"

"God is so blind." Xu Xiaomei knew a little bit. People in the countryside were poor, but she had never seen anything like this, where they sold all their brothers to make a living.

Aunt Xu San said, "Let's not worry about that. Didn't you hear what Xiao Pang said? He is someone close to His Majesty. He is extremely wealthy. He is also a fourth-rank general. No matter what, let him take your second brother away, and our family will be well off."

Aunt Xu San thought even more. Little Sister Xu was twelve years old. It would be time for her to get married in a few years. If she could be brought into the palace by Xu Li, it would not be impossible for her to become a princess...

While Xu Tiezhu and Xu Li were talking, an old man wearing a long robe, leaning on a cane and with a goatee came in.

Everyone made way for him, shouting, "Mr. Xu is here."

Xu Li didn't have a deep impression of this Mr. Xu, and Xu Tiezhu was hugging him and crying, so he couldn't move.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Master Xu coughed a few times majestically and poked the ground with his crutch.

"Second uncle is here, please come in." The village head saw Second Master Xu and politely came out to greet him, pointing at Mr. Ying and saying to him, "This is our county magistrate, Mr. Ying."

Master Xu bowed to Lord Ying and said, "I greet Lord Ying."

When Mr. Ying looked at this man, he immediately understood that this was the only old scholar in Xujia Village and the spiritual leader of the Xu family.

"Please take a seat, old man." Lord Ying sat there without moving. Lord Xu was nothing compared to himself, a genuine Jinshi.

There is no comparison between the scholar and him.

When Master Xu Er saw Xu Tiezhu hugging Xu Li and crying, he frowned and shouted, "Tiezhu, what are you doing? Your brother is here, but you don't even ask him to come home. Why are you crying like that?"

Xu Tiezhu shrank his neck, stopped crying, pulled Xu Li and said, "Brother, after you have dinner, we can stay at our own home."

When Xu Tiezhu stopped crying, Xu Li immediately asked, "Why didn't the second and third brothers come? Where did they go?"

As soon as this question was asked, Xu Tiezhu's eyes immediately shrank and he said vaguely: "They have all gone out of town. Brother will go and find them later."

Mr. Xu Er rolled his eyes at Xu Tiezhu, said nothing, sat down, and said to Xu Li seriously, "What are your plans for coming back this time?"

Xu Li said honestly: "In response to my second grandfather's words, I want to visit my brother and sister-in-law first, repair the ancestral tomb, and pay tribute to my parents, and then return to the capital. His Majesty has given me three months of vacation."

Xujia Village is not close to the capital, and it takes more than 20 days to go back and forth.

Master Xu nodded and said, "Now that you are back, we will open the ancestral hall and compile the family tree. This will cost some money."

Xu Li said: "I'll pay for this."

Mr. Xu was very satisfied.

Ying Wenlong kept smiling and didn't interrupt them when they were talking. He had been a county magistrate for many years and naturally understood what these people were thinking.

He could see that Xu Li was an extremely honest person.

These people in Xujia Village want to take advantage of Xu Li.

Not only do they need to compile a family tree, they may also need to build an ancestral hall, a ancestral house, village roads, and ancestral tombs...

There were also many people from his family who wanted him to help them. The men wanted to find a respectable job in the court, and the women wanted to marry into a high-class family. Since there were no suitable men or women, they just wanted money.

……

The county magistrate also wanted to make some money, so he couldn't let this group of people fleece Xu Li until he was bald!

After figuring it out, the county magistrate smiled and said, "Let's eat first. General Xu has been traveling a long way, so why not have a bite of hometown food and a sip of hometown water first!"

Everyone seemed to wake up and said, "Yes, yes, yes, serve the food and the wine quickly."

Xu Li was an honest man after all, so he asked Xu Tiezhu: "Brother, where are my sister-in-law and nephews?"

Xu Tiezhu immediately started crying again and said, "They are all waiting for my brother to come back home. Our family is so poor that we don't even have clothes to wear when we go out."

Xu Li's eyes turned red again, and he regretted his carelessness.

But he also said sincerely: "Your Majesty has brought back long-staple cotton seeds from overseas and has distributed them to various prefectures. Cotton cloth will be available in large quantities next year, and no one in our Yulong country will suffer from the cold in winter."

Upon hearing this, Ying Wenlong immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise, the seeds distributed now are not only of good quality, but also of extremely high yield.

As early as the first month of this year, when the Yulong Kingdom was established, His Majesty distributed the seeds, and we in Lizhou planted them in the spring."

He looked at the head of the village with a smile.

The village head shuddered and immediately said, "Master Ying is right. Not only long-staple cotton seeds, but also high-yield sweet potato seeds have been distributed, and there are people to guide the planting. Now our lives are much better than before."

So, Xu Tiezhu, you are so poor, do you want to slap His Majesty in the face?
