MTL - Happiness Consist in Contentment-v13 Chapter 20 (1)

Qili Village in ten years

Liujia Winery is a well-known winery in the village. Although it is not large in scale, the several wines in it really make a lot of people who are good wines come here to line up to buy from thousands of miles away.

Speaking of which, Liu Anniang, the wife of the Liu family, came here to make wine more than ten years ago, but was absent for several years in between.

But when she came back and picked up the first batch of wine, the name of Liujia Winery in Qili Village was completely famous all over the world.

It's a pity that this lady of the Liu family makes a very limited amount of wine every year. There are three kinds of wine, each of which can only have one hundred jars at most. This is really a drop in the bucket for the entire Ping Kingdom.

Therefore, every year when the Liujia Winery starts drinking, each jar of these wines will be auctioned to sky-high prices.

Anyway, in the eyes of the villagers in Qili Village, these wealthy people are really burning with money.

The wine of the lady of the Liu family is tightly sealed, so it is auctioned like this, and I am not afraid that the wine will not be good after I buy it back, and so much money will be wasted in vain.

But who made the wine fragrance brewed by the lady of the Liu family?

Sometimes, when the wife of the Liu family was tasting wine at home, the villagers felt itchy when they smelled it, and wanted to taste it.

But as long as they think of the price of the wine in Liujia Distillery, they can only smell the aroma of the wine occasionally, and they really dare not think that they can drink such an excellent wine.

This year is once again the day when Liujia Winery starts drinking. Early in the morning, people came to line up one after another, standing outside the door of Liujia Winery, waiting quietly.

As soon as Luo Ping opened the door, he saw the crowd standing at the opposite door, the corners of his mouth pursed, he just stood in front of the door and waited.

When it was almost noon, the opposite door opened and Liu An started to preside over the auction. The jars of fine wine were gradually sold, until the three hundred jars were all sold out. Those talents dispersed, those who rode in cars and those who rode on horses, and went back separately. .

Seeing that everyone was gone, Luo Ping walked down the steps, walked to the opposite door, and said to Liu An, "Where's your girl?"

Liu An looked at him and sighed in his heart, but he was not surprised, and said, "The girl won't see you, Lord Luo."

Luo Ping said with a cold face, "I know, I just want to know if she is there."

Liu An lowered his head and said, "The girl is naturally there."

Now that the country is peaceful and stable, the girl's identity stays here and lives in seclusion, and she lives comfortably without much disturbance.

If it wasn't for Lord Luo's constant entanglement, I'm afraid the girl would be better off.

It's not that Luo Ping is a human being.

He, just this seemingly firm and affectionate entanglement is actually a burden and disturbance to Liu Jing.

Luo Ping pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, "That's fine."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his home, closing the door.

Ten years ago, after the dust had settled, he completely moved to Qili Village.

Originally, Luo Ping could continue to be an official, but he resigned and moved here to accompany Liu Jing.

He didn't know whether he wanted to make up for it or more, but he only knew that he wanted to stay by her side, even if he just looked at her like this, it would be fine.

...

Liu Jing was reading in the study in the backyard, while Liu Yizhen was waiting on the side.

When she left the capital, she thought that Liu An and Liu Yizhen would stay in the capital. Unexpectedly, they all came back here with her and continued to live such a peaceful life.

Liu Jing also asked Liu Yizhen why she stayed by her side.

Liu Yizhen shrugged and said, "I'm used to it. Besides, I don't want to stay busy in Kyoto either. It's simple and good to follow you."

The most important thing is that she doesn't need to think about marriage when she stays by Liu Jing's side. After all, she is just an ordinary servant. If she doesn't get married, no one else will say anything.

But if she stays in the capital and follows her master, then she can never be an ordinary servant, at least she has to be an official. Such an identity is delicious.

Liu Yizhen was too lazy to bother, let alone tossing, so he chose to continue to follow Liu Jing.

Liu Jing sees that she really likes a free and undisciplined life, so she doesn't care about it. Everyone has their own aspirations, as long as she is happy.

Liu An walked in at this time and reported to Liu Jing about Luo Ping.

Liu Jing nodded slightly and didn't say much.

For Luo Ping, to be honest, she doesn't really hate her much. Maybe there was a little bit of resentment back then, but it's been so long now, that bit of resentment has long since dissipated.

It's just that they are destined to have no relationship, and Liu Jing doesn't want him to miss the past any more.

That's it, be nice to each other.

Liu Jing put the matter of Luo Ping aside, and only asked Liu An how the wine auction was just now.

Liu An replied, "It's still the usual practice. Three hundred altars were auctioned off. Half of the rest were sent to Kyoto, and the other half were kept in the wine cellar."

Liu Jing nodded, put down the book in her hand, and turned her head to look at the blue sky outside the window, "It seems that His Majesty has started a women's examination this year, right?"

Liu An replied, "Yes, girl, in March, the first women's imperial examination began in the country.

The content of the scientific examination is no different from the men's imperial examination..."

Liu Jing smiled, "Your Majesty really dares to think and act!"

Liu Yizhen said with a smile, "Now the court is filled with His Majesty's people, and His Majesty naturally dares to think and act."

After the empress Liu Fang ascended the throne, although there was a lot of criticism in the aristocratic circles, especially the nobility circles of the previous dynasty, in the eyes of the common people, Her Majesty the empress was a first-class good person and a great monarch.

Moreover, Liu Fang directly drew salaries from the bottom of the pot. Although the nobles of the previous dynasty were not liquidated by Liu Fang, they have not yet been allowed to go to the court and serve in the court.

Most of the ministers in the court now are secretly cultivated by Liu Fang, young and energetic, and they have also been carefully taught by Liu Fang.

After so many years of experience, these people are now very capable.

Therefore, now that Liu Fang wants to fully implement the female official system, the nobles of the previous dynasty did not dare to say anything even if they had ideas and objections, or in other words, even if they said it, it was useless.

Liu Fang is the queen herself. From the moment she ascended the throne, everyone in Kyoto could see what the general trend of the world should be in the future.

There is no doubt that the status of women will be greatly improved.

It's just that Liu Fang didn't implement it right away at the beginning, because he was afraid that the people below would feel disgusted or even resisted in the middle.

After ten years of subtle influence, now people have become accustomed to women coming to work, and Liu Fang vigorously promoted the system of women officials.

In this way, even if there are people in Kyoto against it, the number of people will not be too many.

In this way, the resistance to the implementation of the policy will be very small.

In fact it is.

In the women's imperial examination in March this year, many people from all over the country participated. When the ranking was finally released together with the men's imperial examination, the world's talents truly saw that women's talents were actually no worse than men's.

There are even some women leaders who are better than men.

After Liu Fang heard the news in Kyoto, she felt relieved and happy, but also more confident in the future.

In the days that followed, Liu Jing still lived a peaceful and peaceful life in Qili Village, and the entire Ping Kingdom had completely entered the era of the same dynasty for men and women.

Three years later, when Liu Fang's eldest daughter, Liu Yue, took over the throne, nearly one-third of the female officials in the entire Ping Kingdom were in the courtroom, and there were also female prefects and female prefects all over the country. Female local officials of county magistrates, etc.

The common people discovered that these female officials were actually the same as

There is no difference between male officials, and even they are more gentle and know how to consider the people.

There are also female soldiers, female generals, etc. in the army, and they have also made great contributions to guarding the border of Pingguo.

In the historical records of Pingguo, Emperor Tai/Zu Yuan established the 500-year-old female official system in Pingguo during his 15-year reign. Women, in all walks of life, make incredible contributions to the world and the people, and also promote the development of the entire country.

When Pingguo transitioned from the imperial feudal system to the modern republic after 500 years, everyone felt that it was because of the empresses of the Pingguo that the current Pinghua Republic could retain such a complete history. , and stable transition into the new century, into a new era.

When the latest royal history books and documents appear on the Internet, later generations will truly understand what is excellent vision and what is the wisdom of the ancients.

And these splendid histories are still passed down from generation to generation, until human beings discovered the secrets of interstellar, and when they set out from the Blue Star civilization to explore other civilizations in the more distant interstellar, Pingguo was still an era they talked about.

This is an era full of hope, full of vitality, and infinite possibilities!

...

Luo Ping finally lived with Liu Jing all his life. Although she was frail, she died at the age of forty, but Luo Ping still stayed in Qili Village and in front of her tombstone until he died at the end of his life.

Before his death, he prayed to heaven: I hope that in his lifetime, he can repay Liu Jing and make up for her, so that she will never have to go through all these ups and downs.

With such a wish, Luo Ping died very peacefully and peacefully.

After Liu Fang, who was far away in the capital, found out, he ordered someone to bury him well, so he didn't care anymore.

At this time, she was already too emperor. After traveling abroad for many years, she was finally invited back by Liu Yue to celebrate her birthday.

After all, it was the child's will, and she couldn't live up to it, so she had to go back to Beijing on purpose.

Just thinking of what she heard about the Wang family when she passed Ningzhou Mansion, Liu Fang couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Since her reconciliation with Wang Shen that year, she has been busy running the entire Ping Kingdom, and has no time to think about her ex-husband. After passing the throne to Liu Yue, she has been traveling around and living a happy life, then. I can't even remember this ex-husband.

This time, it was also because she happened to pass through Ningzhou Mansion, and Luo Hanyu also happened to be in Ningzhou Mansion.

, she went to visit this old friend.

And it was precisely because Luo Hanyu spoke up that Liu Fang remembered Wang Shen and the Wang family.

Wang Qing, the grandmother of the Wang family, had a good life. Now she has many children and grandchildren, and the children are very filial. As for her husband? Died many years ago.

However, the aunt of the Wang family had always had a bad relationship with her family, and everyone in Ningzhou knew that.

As for Wang Shen, the wife of the Wang family, and Cheng Yuting, the cousin of the Cheng family?

Not so good now.

Because Wang Shen learned that Liu Fang had become the queen of the new dynasty, the king of a country, she was afraid that she would send someone to kill them when she thought of it.

In the days that followed, I stopped reading and speaking, and hid at home all day long, daring not to go out at all, let alone mention Liu Fang and his two daughters.

As for the daughter Liu Fang gave birth to later, he did not know at all.

Cheng Yuting, the cousin, became the eldest wife after she successfully married into the Wang family. At first, she was quite proud and satisfied.

But gradually, when she couldn't give birth to a child or a girl, the lady of the Wang family changed her face completely.

The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law fought like a black eye all day, and Wang Shen was frightening himself all day long, and he was in a panic all day long, and the family was in a mess.

After years of tossing, Wang Shen was completely frightened to death by years of fear - in fact, it was because he thought too much, which made his body weak, coupled with insomnia and dreams all year round, naturally caused other diseases, and died.

When Wang Shen died, the Wang family's wife was hit hard and fell ill completely. In addition, she had not been suffering from heart disease, and she was old. After a while, she just went away.

The mother and son of the Wang family died in a row, and the aunt Wang Qing naturally had to go back to the mansion, but she happened to meet Cheng Yuting who was in the mansion with a foreign man.

This time, it was really lively.

Wang Qing didn't give this so-called cousin any face at all, and directly sent someone to report to the official, and completely spread Cheng Yuting's scandal in front of everyone.

In the end, although Cheng Yuting was the widow of the Wang family, she was divorced from her wife by Wang Shen, who died in Wang Qing Dynasty, because she did not obey the rules of women. All the ancestral property of the Wang family belonged to Wang Qing, the only married aunt.

It's just that Wang Qing also promised that she would adopt a son to her eldest brother, as a descendant of the Wang family's incense.

Since then, the Wang family has left only Wang Qing, an aunt who has already been married.

grandma.

When Liu Fang heard the news, she only sighed and put it down.

She didn't plan to tell Liu Yue, nor did she plan to continue to recognize Wang Qing or anything.

Since it has been reconciled at the beginning, it is good to cut it off completely.

However, she still told Liu Yue and the other two children about Wang Shen's death.

The third child has no impression at all, and the second child has only a vague impression. Although Liu Yue still remembers that she has a father, she has almost forgotten it after so many years.

Therefore, after the three children heard it, they went to the temple to offer incense to Wang Shen, but they didn't even think about going to his tomb.

After all, one is the queen and the other two are queens. When they go out, the movement is not small.

They can only do a ritual to their biological father here in Kyoto to show their hearts.

Otherwise, they do not intend to do it, nor do they want to do it.

Liu Yue still remembers a little bit that when she was at the Wang family, her grandmother didn't like her very much, and her father was rarely seen.

Since she has never loved herself since she was a child, she doesn't have to be hypocritical for this person now.

Doing a ritual and offering incense to him would be considered a repayment of the seed he had contributed at the beginning.

Liu Fang's mission this time, that is, the previous time, was a little tired. When she was in her thirties, she completely retired and wandered around. When the old man couldn't move, she returned to Beijing to continue to be her wife and emperor.

That's right, at that time, Liu Yue had already abdicated, and it was her granddaughter who was the emperor.

When Liu Fang died at the age of 90, her great-great-grandson was already on the throne.

And Pingguo is still the one she imagined, a prosperous, peaceful, strong and stable country!

☆, 283, excessive chapter.

After returning to the underworld, Liu Fang opened her eyes and lay on the bed for a while before she recovered.

After eating Wangyou Dan, she got up and stretched. Seeing that it was already ten thirty in the morning, she planned to continue with another task.

Sent a message to Lin Jiao and Qiao Rui. Today's lunch was a little late. After receiving their replies, they decided to do the task again. Liu Fang opened the task list and checked the details first, to see what the original owner's life was like. .

...

In the life of the original owner, after the death of Prime Minister Liu Sui, he was sent away by several secret guards under Liu Yong, who also settled in Ningzhou.

After all, it was the most stable place in the entire Yang Kingdom.

Then, the original owner relied on the money Liu Sui left her to buy a lot of properties, and lived a dull life without worry about food and clothing.

However, Liu Jing's fate did not change. She still jumped from Yingfeng Tower, was still sent to Mu Huishou by Luo Ping, still became a waste person, and still lived in seclusion in Qili Village.

However, in the capital, the chaos left by Liu Sui's death did not disappear, and even because there was no Liu Fang's layout to stop him, a large number of officials who interceded for him were killed by Yang Chengdi.

The killing made everyone in the world tremble!

At the same time, the crown prince did not die because of the treatment of the concubine of the Shen family, but dragged such a sick body in the imperial court, making troubles and disturbing the whole world.

But none of these will affect the original owner for a while.

She gradually grew up, and when it was time to get married, she was once again attracted by the wife of the Wang family, and Wang Shen married her into the Wang family.

But the original owner was really abandoned by the Prime Minister Liu Sui. He was kind and innocent, and didn't understand the sinister nature of the human heart.

When she was pregnant, Wang Shen took a concubine openly, that's all, after she gave birth to the eldest queen Yue, the wife of the Wang family began to calculate her property bit by bit.

At this time, Liu Jing also experienced being chased and killed by Emperor Yang Cheng, stabbed by the bandit who came to Qili Village, and killed many villagers.

When Liu Jing saw the villagers of the past die in front of her eyes, the hidden hatred in her heart burst out completely.

She finally understood that even if she wanted to hide, she couldn't hide at all, and she even implicated such a peaceful village because of her, making these simple villagers die inexplicably.

Therefore, after Liu Yong brought someone over to kill the assassin, even if Luo Ping arrived and killed the bandit, the hatred in Liu Jing's heart still couldn't be

calm.

She begins the difficult road of revenge.

In the process, she learned the news of the original owner, that she was humiliated by the Wang family, and almost could not save her life, and even Bai Zhu was beaten to death by the Wang family.

Liu Jing took people to Ningzhou Mansion and killed the Wang family, leaving only the original owner and her three children.

After more than ten years, Liu Jing completely overthrew the turbulent state of Yang and established a new dynasty.

But at that time, she had run out of oil, and the entire Yang Kingdom was caught in a war that lasted for several years.

Even at that time, Liu Jing's ascension to the throne was met with opposition and resistance from countless people.

In order to secure the throne, Liu Jing became a brutal founding queen, killing batch after batch of opponents.

It was not until she completely held the entire country in her hands that she passed the throne to the eldest daughter of the original owner and passed away.

As for the original owner, after the death of Liu Jing's sister, she was targeted by the opposition in secret, and she died just like that.

It is worth mentioning that the eldest daughter of the original master who succeeded the throne was almost killed by the concubine of the previous dynasty, the concubine of the Shen family, because of her.

Fortunately, the only descendant of Mu Huishou, the medicine boy, happened to be in Kyoto, so he went to the palace to save the new queen.

It was not until this time that the world gradually settled down, and later, under the rule of this queen, the new dynasty became completely strong.

It's just that without Liu Fang's previous layout, this new dynasty established by the empress has always had the opposition making waves in secret, and it only lasted for just a hundred years, and this new dynasty was completely wiped out.

The dynasties that followed were more restrictive on women, completely breaking women's thoughts, behaviors, and future, and trapped them to death, making women in later generations all trapped in the backyard and doing nothing, truly becoming incompetent. Also thoughtless puppets.

Liu Jing, Liu Sui, the future they hoped for, did not come true...

...

After reading the original owner's life, Liu Fang sighed.

Everyone in the wheel of history can only be ants and cannon fodder.

It was because she was a mission person, with several mission experiences and mature thoughts, that she could find a relatively stable and peaceful path to kill in such a chaotic situation.

But what if she was like the original owner?

Without these experiences, and without these maturity, she would just follow the trend just like the original owner, completely reduced to cannon fodder for the progress of history.

After all, everyone in this mission world is only driven forward by history.

Just poor people.

They don't have a choice.

They can only make that choice at that moment, and they cannot control or predict what will happen after that.

I'm afraid, when Liu Sui died calmly, he never thought that the final outcome would be like this.

...

After sighing, Liu Fang clicked on the task evaluation. The task was still completed successfully, and she could get 500 merit points.

Liu Fang felt happy when she saw her merit points.

Click on the activity task table and see that there are many fewer pages on it. It can be seen that there are really not many activity tasks this time.

She flipped through it and saw a rare branch - the book-wearing branch.

There are several divisions under this division: The Book-wearing Women's Match for Survival Section, the Book-wearing Cannon Fodder for Survival Section, and the Book-wearing Women Matching Self-improvement Section...

Liu Fang raised her eyebrows and poked at the smart butler, "Why is there such a branch in the Quick Pass department?"

The intelligent butler said succinctly, "Well, that's right. This branch is dedicated to the tasks of those worlds formed by books.

In fact, the tasks of this branch are sometimes assigned to other branches. After all, there are too few staff in this branch, and there are too many worlds formed by books.

Therefore, the staff of each branch will occasionally do the task of wearing the book branch. "

Liu Fang said lightly, "That means, among the tasks I have done, there may be such tasks?"

"Not yet. The mission world you are doing now is not formed by books, but by ideas, or several parallel worlds with the same background and different space worlds. These are all newly born new worlds. The world, so it is still different from this book-wearing branch."

Liu Fang frowned, "Oh, is that so?"

The smart housekeeper changed his tone and said, "Yeah, in the current Daqian world, there are too many small worlds.

Coupled with the formation of these books and the formation of ideas, new worlds are constantly being born, and they are very fragile.

Even though the fast-moving department is recruiting new people every year, there is still not enough manpower.

Now these active tasks are the tasks that have been accumulated before and no one has ever moved.

The Chuanshu branch has too few staff, so it has accumulated a lot.

However, this is the one time. The next time you want to do this kind of task, you can only turn over your task list. "

"Then this type of task will be marked, right?"

"Of course, don't worry, the laws of the underworld are strict and won't let you do the task in a confused way."

Liu Fangfan

Rolling his eyes, "There is no summary of the previous situation of the original owner, and I directly throw it into the task world to wear it. In fact, I am doing the task in a confused way."

The smart housekeeper changed his tone again, "That's not true! Don't talk nonsense. The task of the Quick Pass Department, where did you not make it clear?

Every time a task has to indicate which branch it belongs to.

As for the premise, if all the memories of the original owner I were given to you missionaries, what else would you do?

Isn't it simple, you can complete the task casually?

Do you think there will be such a no-brainer thing?

Even if you go to work during your lifetime, you can't possibly know what will happen to you on this day, right?

Are you having trouble at work?

Don't forget, the mission of the Underworld Express Department is also equivalent to the company you work for. You can know the content of the work, but how can you know all the difficulties you will encounter at work?

This is not in line with the rules of normal workers. "

Liu Fang was angry and said, "But what I do is not normal work! What I do is not normal, isn't it?"

Crossover, can this still be considered normal work?

Smart Butler:…

"Anyway, this is the rule of the underworld, you can only accept it, and you have nothing to refute."

Liu Fang: …

This makes no sense to directly come to hegemony, right?

The smart housekeeper changed his tone again, "Actually, you have to think this way.

If you all knew the memories of the original owner's life, would you have the urge to abuse scumbags?

Don't tell me no!

But you know what? This way of disregarding the future, disregarding the scumbags, here in the underworld, it is against the law of heaven.

It's like a murderer. When he didn't kill, can you kill him in advance because he is a murderer in the future?

What if he didn't end up being a murderer?

What then?

The cause and effect itself has a certain number. The establishment of the fast-traveling department is to repair the way of heaven, not to be cool, but to abuse the scum.

A murderer must first have the cause of murder before he can lead to the effect of being a murderer.

You can't punish him directly according to the effect that hasn't happened when the cause hasn't happened yet.

This is not in accordance with the rules of Heaven. "

But Liu Fang said, "Then according to what you said, if the murderer doesn't kill for a day, will he still be a good person for a day?"

The intelligent housekeeper said, "It can't be said that he is a good person, only that when he does not commit a crime, he is not a sinner.

commit.

Isn't the law of the world the same?

Could it be that whenever a person has the idea of ​​murder, he must be a criminal?

Does he have to be vicious? "

Liu Fang was silent.

If she went on like this endlessly, she felt that there would be no result if she went around for three hundred years.

After a while, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I won't talk to you. Anyway, those of us who are doing the task, never want to know the life of the original owner in advance. No matter how much we talk about it, it's not because we are afraid of us. You mess up when you're doing a mission."

The smart housekeeper said rigidly, "Yeah, because some taskers often forget about merit and demerit control."

Liu Fang: …

She was controlled once, and it is unforgettable to this day.

However, the smart housekeeper is also right.

Doing too many tasks in the Kuaichuan Department will indeed give people a feeling of being superior to others.

Liu Fang now feels the same way.

Every time she traverses the mission world, she will have the feeling that she is extraordinarily high, even an outsider watching this world.

This kind of attitude is actually very bad.

If she has the memory of the original owner in advance, I am afraid, she will really do things like abuse the scum in advance.

Liu Fang looked at the mission of the Transmigration Branch that she saw on the screen for the first time, and was very curious. Is the mission of this branch different from other missions?

Looking through it, it was basically a one-star free mission, so Liu Fang chose the one with the simplest mission objective: grow up safely, marry and have children, and die.

This is the cannon fodder survival mission in the book-piercing branch.

Well, Liu Fang slandered: Probably, the original owner was a cannon fodder in the book?

Eh, in this way, the tasks of the cannon fodder survival branch can also be understood as the cannon fodder in the book, and the task of the female supporting role self-improvement branch is also the female supporting role in the book.

But just now, the smart housekeeper said that this is different.

Liu Fang thought about it and couldn't figure it out, so she put it down temporarily, and planned to ask Qiao Rui when she came back after finishing the task.

Tell the smart housekeeper that she really doesn't understand its explanation.

So, Liu Fang clicked on the task, lay down and closed his eyes, and entered the task world.

The smart housekeeper's screen flickered, still showing Liu Fang, an intern from the Concubine Satisfaction Changle Branch, entering the mission world "Love of the Buddha".

...

Liu Fang's identity for this mission is still a prostitute, but this time her status as a prostitute is actually equivalent to a direct daughter.

why?

Because, in the entire Liu family, she is the only one

This daughter, what happened to the concubine, is not important at all.

Liu's father was a ninth-rank official in Taichang Temple. He was born in a poor family and worked hard since childhood, but his talent was limited, so it was not until he was nearly thirty that he managed to win a Tongjinshi.

In Qingguo, Tongjinshi is really nothing.

But Liu's father's family was poor, and he knew that his talent was limited, so after he was awarded the Tongjinshi, he honestly waited for the appointment of officials.

He has no background, no connections, and no money. If he wasn't a native of Kyoto, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have the money to go to Beijing to take the exam.

Therefore, even though he knew that his status as a jinshi would not be a good position, Father Liu waited quietly.

After waiting for two full years, Father Liu was put in the most inconspicuous and humble Taichang Temple, and became a ninth-rank clerk. To put it bluntly, that is, a clerk, copying and writing on a daily basis, there is no credit at all, and there is nothing to gain.

It's not as good as those who copy books in the Hanlin Academy.

However, after all, he is also an official, and Father Liu himself feels quite satisfied.

There is a fixed salary of 12 taels of silver every month, which is enough for the family to eat and drink.

As for Liu Fang's mother, the daughter of a merchant, the reason why she married Liu's father was because the mother's father wanted to gamble.

Although, the bet is not very successful, but it is not a complete loss.

No matter what, Father Liu was in the officialdom and his position was higher than that of a businessman, no matter how low his position was.

The mother-in-law's family also received a little care for this.

The first mother, Mrs. Liu, has a charitable nature and is truly charitable. She grew up with her mother and grandmother since she was a child. In Qingguo, more than half of the backyard women worship Buddha. Therefore, Mrs. Liu is a really, really charitable person.

Although she is very good at running a shop, the Liu family's meager fortune is in her hands, which will be doubled every year, and the same is true of her dowry.

But Mrs. Liu's good-natured nature has not changed.

Therefore, even if she gave birth to three direct sons, she did not feel sorry for Liu Fang's biological mother, nor did she feel sorry for Liu Fang and her half-brother.

Regarding Liu Fang's biological mother and her children, Mrs. Liu has always been gentle and kind, just like her own children.

Liu Fang's biological mother, Mrs. Liao, was originally a refugee who fled to Kyoto, but was brought back to the house by the kind-hearted Mrs. Liu. At that time, she was pregnant, so she took Mrs. Liao as a concubine and asked her to open a branch for her husband. loose leaves.

By the time Liu Fang was born, the Liu family already had five sons, three from direct descendants and two from concubines.

And she became the only girl in the family, and she was loved by her first mother, her biological mother, her elder brother, and her father.

In particular, she is very different in age from her five elder brothers, who basically treat her as a daughter.

Therefore, Liu Fang's life was very leisurely.

Except for one thing: Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liao is a devout believer, so she had to worship Buddha with her since she was a child, and occasionally vegetarian, copying Buddhist scriptures and so on.

Sometimes, Liu Fang would feel that her two mother-in-laws were so pious, which made her, now, especially like eating meat.

Moreover, there is a master Huaian in Anping Temple, who is a famous monk in the world. Many people from noble families in Kyoto highly respect this master Huaian.

Therefore, there is such a master in Anping Temple, and his status is equivalent to that of a national temple.

Anping Temple is located in Anping Mountain, five miles away from Beijing.

Anping Mountain is quite large in area, and the altitude is not very high. The scenery here is beautiful and the four seasons have unique scenery. Therefore, even people who do not respect Buddha will occasionally come to play with friends.

Anping Mountain belongs to Anping Temple, and there are several villages at the foot of the mountain. In addition to cultivating the fields, the villagers will go to the foot of the mountain during the slack to set up stalls and sell some novelty snacks and so on.

Although most of the fields cultivated by these villagers belong to Anping Temple, the annual rent required to pay is very small, only 30%.

The Qing country does not have much taxation, so the villagers at the foot of the Anping Mountain are living fairly well.

The sixth day of the third lunar month is the annual birthday of the bathing Buddha. All people in Beijing who worship and believe in Buddhism will go to Anping Temple together on this day.
