My Gentleman Reborn

Chapter 10 Trivia

It was already afternoon when we returned to the village. Mrs. Guan sold out all the vegetables and exchanged some oil and salt to take them home. Zhao saw that he had a lot of things and sent him to the door of his house. Knowing that he was in trouble, he didn’t want to eat at his house. However, He Yuzhou did not force him to stay, and after sending him away, he directly drank the porridge left in the morning at home.

After drinking and resting for a while, He Yuzhou took the seeds given by Mrs. Guan to the vegetable field.

The vegetable field is not big, only about a dozen square meters.

There are not many seeds in her hand. Mrs. Guan told him before that to plant corn, you need to dig a nest, then sprinkle three or four seeds in it, and then water it, waiting for it to grow by itself.

This is a relatively primitive way of planting. In fact, He Yuzhou has a better way in his heart, which he learned in another world, but now he doesn't have enough seeds and land, so he can't realize the way in his heart. Do what the aunt said.

The advantage of not having much land is that the seeds are all planted in a short time, and the farm tools used are still left to him by Mrs. Guan.

It means that his family has two sets, and this one is useless because it is too old. It is left to He Yuzhou for emergency. He Yuzhou has nothing now, so he is not polite to Mrs. Guan.

Seeing that it was still early, He Yuzhou took the new clothes he bought back to the river mouth to wash them, and then hung them to dry on the bamboo sticks hanging by the door.

Aunt Guan saw He Yuzhou's figure from a distance, smiled and called out to He Yuzhou.

He Yuzhou greeted with a slight smile, "Ma'am, you're here."

"Well, I cooked some sweet potatoes left over from years ago at noon today. The taste is not bad. My aunt brought you a bowl, and also brought you the fabric needlework I told you about earlier."

While talking, Aunt Guan entered the hut and put a basket of things on the table.

He Yuzhou was a little moved, but also a little sorry.

"Ma'am, I've eaten enough of yours and used yours, so you can just give me the squares of fabric, and I bought the needle and thread myself, so you can eat the sweet potatoes."

"Hey, why are you so polite, my aunt wants to eat at home, so don't be polite when you are in a difficult time. If you really want my aunt's good, live your life well, and be a good neighbor with your aunt from now on."

As she said that, Mrs. Guan seemed to think of something, she frowned and said, "Xiaozhou, you seem to have bought a lot of grain? Just now there were too many people to ask you, and then Mrs. Guan returned home first. Can you tell me where you came from?" Is it silver taels?"

Suddenly becoming serious, Mrs. Guan said: "Dahai once told me that you came here with nothing. It's not because you are careless, but because you are afraid that your child will go the wrong way and earn some dirty money from some... places. When Yinliang comes back, don’t do stupid things! We can be poor, but we must never do things we can’t do!”

He Yuzhou was taken aback when he heard the words, and then his face turned dark. What was Madam Guan thinking about? After thinking about it, he hurriedly explained: "Madam, I am not too delicate, but the clothes I used to wear are of excellent material. I pawned some silver taels in the pawnshop to buy food, not some dirty silver taels, don't worry, ma'am, I still have a sense of proportion."

When Mrs. Guan heard this, she smiled awkwardly: "So that's the case. I did see you carrying a bag and went to the town before, haha..." With a dry smile, Mrs. Guan said: "It's because Mrs. Guan is overwhelmed and always worried. You, a beautiful girl like you, have gone the wrong way, so don't think the aunt is too talkative."

beautiful girl?He Yuzhou's heart felt cold, but he smiled and said, "No way."

Aunt Guan let out a breath and said, "I'm relieved if you can guarantee it. What I'm most afraid of is that you go the wrong way. This woman, if you go the wrong way, you won't be able to come back. But Xiaozhou, you really have it. You should buy some livestock to raise the silver first, so many folks will not starve you, you have used up your only silver, and it will be very hard afterwards, why didn’t you discuss this with the aunt!"

He Yuzhou was a little taken aback when he heard the words, and murmured: "It's not good to keep eating at the expense of my aunt and fellow villagers. Besides, you can earn more money."

"What you girl said is simple, how can silver taels be so easy to earn." While talking with a smile, Mrs. Guan shook her head helplessly.

"Forget it, you've already bought everything, so let's eat first. If you have any more difficulties, you can come to the aunt again. If the aunt can help, she will definitely help you."

"Well, thank you, ma'am."

After talking left and right, he sent Aunt Guan away, and He Yuzhou let out a long breath.

This aunt is very kind-hearted, but sometimes she is a bit... nagging.

Moreover, she also identified him as a woman...

With a wry smile, He Yuzhou went to look through the things Mrs. Guan sent.

A bowl full of sweet potatoes exudes fragrance, and there are neatly stacked ten-square silk scarves underneath, and needles and threads of different colors are placed beside them.

He Yuzhou ate a few sweet potatoes with hot water, and then began to thread needles.

His embroidery was taught by his mother, who used to be a young lady of an aristocratic family, and her words and deeds were extremely well-behaved, and her temperament was soft and weak, so she never fought for anything in the He family, and after she became a concubine of the He family, she was disciplined. Staying in his own yard well-behaved can be regarded as being very favored by He Zun in the He family.

But because of this, they were excluded by the He family's aunt. In front of the He family's master, she treated them very well, but once the He family's master left, their life would be sad.

And the master of the He family only stays in the He mansion for one or two months throughout the year. Over the years, he and his mother have suffered more.

Mother's gentle and soft nature made her never say anything wrong with the He family's aunt, Shang Zhuojun, in front of He Zun, but this made Shang Zhuojun even worse.

When He Yuzhou was He Suxian, he never understood his mother's behavior. He didn't understand why his mother tolerated it like this?

He also asked his mother, and his mother would always touch his head and answer him

"This is the life of a woman. Marry and obey your husband, respect your wife and protect your children, and your mother is a concubine. You should listen to what the mistress says without complaining."

Such an honest mother always makes him feel bad. He Zun dotes on his mother, so Mr. Shang Zhuo can secretly bully his mother, but he can't really hurt his mother, for fear of being spotted by He Zun.

And if he hadn't been born as a daughter, he might have been secretly killed by her.

After all, when he was born, the aunt of the He family already had a son. If he was a man, even if he had no blood relationship with the He family, as long as he was linked to the household registration, he would have to share part of the family property. This was the most intolerable thing for the aunt of the He family. .

Seeing that he couldn't compete for the He family's property because of a woman, and he didn't get He Zun's favor, he has survived until now, but that was only survival, which guaranteed his life, but his life in the He family was not so easy. Sometimes Shang Zhuojun will use all the harm he can't do to his mother, and he will be used on him. He is obviously not favored by He Zun, but because he is the "daughter" of his mother who is favored by He Zun, he will be angered.

Being beaten is something that often happens in the He family...

Maybe it's because he doesn't have any blood of the He family in his body, so except for Shang Zhuojun, everyone in the He family, including He Zun, turned a blind eye to him. In the He family, he often thought that if his mother hadn't kept him, I'm afraid he would He had been driven out of the He family.

Of course, it would be great if he could be kicked out sooner.

However, the He family wants to save face, and it is impossible to drive him out without reason, so there is the forced marriage later.

Sighing leisurely, He Yuzhou rubbed his eyes, and put down the half-embroidered square scarf. It was already dark, and he should rest. He couldn't embroider in the dark because he didn't have enough money to buy an oil lamp.

With the light of dusk, He Yuzhou saw no one left and right, so he took a bath directly at the mouth of the river, and went to bed with a feeling of coolness all over his body.
