Chapter 24 "For those who are not very important, I..."
Lin Yu put away the handkerchief and clicked her tongue, saying, "How can it be that I'm following you? Brother Cui, you came to Yunping County just to see me, didn't you?"
Cui Xintang scoffed, "You're good at patting yourself on the back."
"Isn't that right?" Lin Yu's face regained its usual cheerful expression. "Didn't you send someone to see me last month? You haven't sent anyone to see me in a long time, I thought you had forgotten about me!"
Cui Xintang paused, "Apart from last month, when have I ever sent anyone here?"
"Don't you come here often? You came twice last year alone," Lin Yu said without thinking.
Cui Xintang frowned.
Lin Yu seemed to suddenly understand something. He choked for a moment, then smiled and said, "Even if it wasn't you, it was someone sent by the Cui family. I understand that you're busy with official business."
"At least back then, my sister also served Madam Cui with filial piety for a long time on your behalf."
Cui Xintang glanced at him.
Seeing that things were going well, Lin Yu immediately put on a docile smile, smiled at him, and then stretched.
“Brother Cui, you’ve come all this way to see me in a place like this, so I suppose you have something to say. I’ve been sleeping for half a day and I’m starving. I could have asked the madam to cook some dishes for you, but you clearly don’t think much of this place. So, I’d like to trouble you to take me to a restaurant outside.”
Cui Xintang's visit today was not just to see him. He also did not want to stay in the brothel for long. When Lin Yu said that, he did not refuse and stood up after brushing off his sleeves.
Lin Yu remained seated, and Cui Xintang glanced at him, "Aren't you leaving?"
"Okay!" Lin Yu immediately beamed and got up to follow.
As soon as he came out of the room, the madam greeted him warmly.
Cui Xintang ignored her, but Lin Yu, despite her young age, had a worldly and sophisticated air about her. She smiled and joked with the madam, making the madam blush and laugh from ear to ear.
The carriage stopped outside the alley. After leaving the brothel, Lin Yu walked quickly. "I'm not familiar with Fengshui Town. I'll trouble Brother Cui to find me a restaurant."
After saying that, he headed straight for the carriage.
As they exited the alley and entered the street, an oxcart came by and nearly hit Lin Yu.
Cui Xintang yanked him away, startling Lin Yu, who then chuckled and said, "Brother Cui, you really care about me."
Cui Xintang released his hand, but said, "You follow behind."
Having said that, he ignored him and got into the carriage.
Lin Yu stood there stunned. Qingzhu chuckled and said, "Young Master Lin is joking. If you can find a brothel this deep inside, you can surely find a restaurant."
With that, he cracked his whip and drove the carriage away.
Having spent half a day at a brothel, Lin Yu's body reeked of cosmetics. Cui Xintang, sitting in the carriage, took out a plain white handkerchief, wiped his hands, and tossed the handkerchief aside.
Today was market day in town, and the streets were crowded with people. With the oxcarts coming and going, the horse-drawn carriages were moving a bit slower. It took them half an hour to find a barely acceptable restaurant.
Lin Yu followed behind the carriage with a dark face, her legs trembling as she walked, but she dared not breathe.
Upon arriving at the restaurant and entering the simple private room, he couldn't help but sneer, "With so many people on the street, Brother Cui, aren't you afraid of being seen following behind your carriage?"
Although Cui Xintang brought him along, she ignored him, simply pulling out a chair and sitting down, then raising her hand to pour tea.
Lin Yu felt awkward but didn't dare to do anything, so she could only sit down opposite him and say, "Sister..."
Cui Xintang paused in pouring tea, then gave Lin Yu a cold look.
That glance carried a cold warning and anger. Lin Yu's lips curled up, and she changed her words before Cui Xintang could get angry.
"My brother-in-law said you always have a stern face, and you're quite serious and proper. It's true. Brother Cui, you're staying at my sister's house, could it be because of me?"
It certainly wasn't because of him. If Cui Xintang had known the relationship between the Sun family and the Lin family, he wouldn't have chosen to stay at the Sun family's house, or even come to Huai Shu Village.
He was too lazy to talk to Lin Yu about these things, so he just picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Speak, what brings you here?"
"Tsk, can't I just want to see you? My sister and I have both been indebted to you, so since you've come all this way, shouldn't I at least come and have a word with you?"
He refused to say, and Cui Xintang didn't ask any more questions. He simply instructed Qingzhu to call the waiter in, signaled Lin Yu to order the dishes, and waited for them to be served.
The dishes were served quickly, but Cui Xintang didn't touch her chopsticks, instead slowly sipping her tea.
Lin Yu was truly hungry. After wolfing down a few mouthfuls, she looked up at him and asked curiously, "Brother Cui, you came to find me, but you really have nothing to say to me?"
Cui Xintang was thinking about something else, her brows slightly furrowed. Hearing this, she raised her eyes and glanced at him, "Can't you shut your mouth even if you eat?"
Lin Yu, however, was not going to stop. There was a dish of chicken wrapped in lotus leaves on the table. He picked up a piece of chicken, stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes lit up, and swallowed it whole. Then he used his chopsticks to pick up a chicken leg and was about to put it into Cui Xintang's bowl.
"This lotus leaf chicken is quite good, Brother Cui, please try it!"
Cui Xintang's gaze fell on the chopsticks extended in front of him, his expression slightly cold.
Lin Yu, seeing this, seemed to realize it only then, and chuckled as she put her chopsticks back, saying, "I forgot, Brother Cui, you might find it unappetizing, so I'll eat it myself."
After saying that, he stuffed the chicken leg into his mouth and took a bite.
Cui Xintang glanced at the lotus leaf-wrapped chicken in the middle of the food counter. The chicken skin was golden and shiny, and the meat looked tender and not dry.
Just then, the waiter came in to refill the tea, and Cui Xintang casually ordered, "Make another dish of lotus leaf-wrapped chicken. I'll send someone to pick it up later."
After the waiter left, Lin Yu pouted, "Are you taking this back for Madam Cui to eat?"
Cui Xintang ignored him, and he chuckled again, "Brother Cui, you're so kind to me. You ordered a whole table of dishes but didn't eat a single bite yourself. Did you order them all especially for me?"
Cui Xintang didn't banter with him. Seeing that he had almost finished eating, he finally asked, "Why don't you study at the county school, but instead go to the county government office to fool around?"
Lin Yu swallowed the food in her mouth, grinned at him, and said nonchalantly, "If I weren't a bit of a scoundrel, would you remember me?"
Cui Xintang: "..."
Lin Yu: "I did some terrible things, and when it got to your ears, Brother Cui, you came to punish me?"
Before Cui Xintang arrived, he had no idea that his son was such a scoundrel, skipping his studies at the county school and hanging out with the Xu family at the county government office.
When he sent people here last month, he didn't ask them to find out about these things. The reason he sent people to see him was just to cover his tracks and to put on a show for the princess and her daughter.
He sneered, "Then keep being a scoundrel and see if I'll care about you next time."
His tone was indifferent, and it didn't seem fake. Lin Yu felt a little embarrassed and touched her nose, not daring to reply.
But he was really unwilling to give up. "Brother Cui, please take me back to the capital. I've really had enough of this godforsaken place."
He looked disgusted. "There isn't even a horse-drawn carriage, just a stinky donkey cart. Every time that stupid donkey brays, I wish I could disappear into a crack in the ground. Just now I wanted to ride in the carriage, but you wouldn't let me."
"And that foolish family, they treat me like a cash cow, only ever asking the Cui family and my sister for favors."
"I've had enough of this life, Brother Cui. When are you going to take me back to the capital? Even if I need to register my household there, can't we find a suitable family in the capital? If you keep me by your side, I'll be more obedient and won't dare to cause trouble, right?"
"Moreover, I have been skipping school for so long that I am afraid the county school has already expelled me, and I will have no way out in Yunping County."
He still thought of himself as the young master of the Lin family. Cui Xintang leaned back in his chair and asked in a low voice, "So that's why you skipped school at the county government office and worked as a dog for people, obeying their orders?"
He scoffed, his tone sarcastic, "If Madam Lin and Miss Lin knew how short-sighted you were, I wonder what they would think."
These words were truly harsh, but Cui Xintang showed no regard for his feelings and didn't bother to argue with him further. "I've already spoken to the county school; you'll return to school tomorrow."
Lin Yu was taken aback. "You're going back tomorrow? Can't you give me a few more days?"
"What other important business do you have?" Cui Xintang asked coldly. "Do you think the county school is a place you can just get into whenever you want?"
He wrote to his father, Cui Zhen, and used Cui Zhen's connections to get Lin Yu into the county school.
He lost his patience. "If your mother hadn't pleaded with me repeatedly, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths to find a way out for you. If Madam Lin hadn't learned that I was coming to Yunping County and asked me to come and see you on her behalf, I wouldn't have bothered with you at all."
Lin Yu chuckled and asked, "Was it my sister's request or my mother's? In her last letter, my sister said that my mother's leg ailment was getting worse, and she couldn't move when the weather got a little cold, so she couldn't go out to see you."
Cui Xintang glanced at him, her face cold and stern. "You only have this one chance. Whether you want to go back to the county school or not is up to you."
"...I'll go, okay?" Lin Yu said dejectedly, quickly trying to appease him.
He ate a few mouthfuls of rice with his head down, then looked up again and asked unwillingly, "Is it really impossible to get me back to the capital?"
Cui Xintang showed no mercy, saying, "Back then, it was Madam Lin who entrusted me to send you out of the capital. If you want to return to the capital, write to Madam Lin yourself."
Lin Yu's expression changed several times. He knew that Cui Xintang meant what he said; if he said he wouldn't care about him, he really wouldn't.
He dared not provoke him any further, and only glanced at Cui Xintang's expression. After a moment's thought, he asked casually, "Brother Cui, are you investigating the matter of the widow from the Wang family in Huai Shu Village?"
Cui Xintang tightened her grip on the teacup and looked at him coldly.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Brother Cui, don't worry. I'm just guessing, and I haven't told anyone. I've been working for Registrar Xu for a while, so I know a little bit. If you want to know anything, feel free to ask me."
Cui Xintang's eyes turned cold, and Lin Yu felt embarrassed, not daring to hide it from him. "Well... I told Registrar Xu that I came from the capital and knew some things about the capital, so he trusted me to some extent."
"Trustworthy?" Cui Xintang almost laughed out of anger.
He stared at him coldly for a long time before saying, "Do you know what will happen if you get involved in these things?"
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, seemingly unconcerned, and said, "Many of the men from the Ye family who were taken to the military camp back then were men from similar backgrounds to him."
"Three years ago, the natural disaster killed many people in Yunping County. Many young men, like Wang Dalang, whose families consisted only of wives and young children, were conscripted into the army or forced into labor. Later, they died away from home, and their land..."
He paused abruptly, smiled, and said, "I know a little about those who were captured back then but didn't come back alive. Would you like to hear about them, Brother Cui?"
He knows so much, so he must have been following Registrar Xu around for a long time.
Cui Xintang took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said coldly, "How much have you done for the Xu family while serving as Registrar Xu?"
"..."
Cui Xintang was not a soft-hearted person and had never bothered with other people's business. It was already quite remarkable that he had bothered to say a few words to Lin Yu today.
So he simply said, "Go back after you've eaten. Pack your things and head back to the county school first thing tomorrow morning. If you're studious and ambitious, I won't mind helping you out for Madam Lin's sake. But if you harbor any improper thoughts..."
Cui Xintang gave him a cold glance. "I have never had any patience or compassion for people who are not important, and I will never be coerced. If you don't believe me, you can try."
An hour later, Cui Xintang boarded a carriage and returned to Huai Shu Village from Feng Shui Town.
A charcoal brazier was lit inside the carriage, on which sat a ceramic urn containing hot water, simmering prepared lotus leaf chicken.
The lid was tightly closed, yet a fragrance still lingered in the carriage. Cui Xintang lowered her eyes, looking at the letter in her hand.
Although he had been staying in Huai Shu Village these past few days, he had been secretly having people investigate other parts of Yunping County. The letter in his hand was delivered secretly by his men today.
As Lin Yu said, countless people died in Yunping County during that drought. Immediately afterwards, the imperial court began to recruit soldiers, and many able-bodied men were conscripted or forced into labor.
Wang Dalang, the man from the Ye family, was just one of them. Among those captured by the imperial court, many were young and strong men like Wang Dalang, leaving only women and children at home.
But not many of them made it home alive.
At the beginning of last year, the Grand Princess issued an edict allowing widows to remarry, bringing with them a portion of their former husband's property and land. The amount of property and land they could bring depended on the circumstances of their original husband's family, and the court had specifically formulated regulations for this purpose.
If the original husband's family has no parents-in-law to serve and the children are too young to establish their own households, the woman must remarry with her children, and the remaining land and property will be confiscated by the government.
The eldest princess's intentions were quite clear: in addition to encouraging widows to remarry and increase the population, she also wanted to take the opportunity to bring these large amounts of land under the control of the government, prevent them from falling into the hands of local wealthy people, and curb further land annexation.
In fact, this new policy also benefits young widows. After all, once a woman loses her husband in her husband's family, she loses power and is often bullied by her parents-in-law and relatives, eventually ending up with no descendants.
For these widows, remarrying with some of their land and property was a way to survive; having land meant they had support in their husband's family.
According to his men's secret investigation, none of the widows left behind back then remarried.
This is rather strange.
Cui Xintang frowned slightly, and only after carefully reading the letter did he throw it into the charcoal brazier.
In Huai Shu Village, as the sun slanted under the bare branches of trees on the west side of the village in the late afternoon, Meng Yuanxiao finally took Niu Niu home.
She had wanted to take Niu Niu home for a while, but Niu Niu refused, looking at her with red eyes.
Meng Yuanxiao couldn't bear it, but she couldn't take the girl back to Sun Lizhang's house, so she could only settle Niu Niu at the foot of the earthen slope at the west end of the village, and then she went back to Sun Lizhang's house.
Her lunch was simple: a steamed bun, a plate of vegetables with lard, and an egg fried in sesame oil.
Meng Yuanxiao broke the steamed bun in half, filled it with fried egg and vegetables, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and stealthily took it out like a thief. He returned to the foot of the earthen slope and squatted down with Niu Niu to share the food.
After finishing the steamed bun, Niu Niu still refused to go back. Instead, she tugged at her sleeve and looked at her timidly. "My mother said that the imperial court has issued an edict that girls can also take the exam to become female officials. Sister, can you teach Niu Niu to read?"
Meng Yuanxiao was surprised, "How did your mother know about this?"
During her stay in Huai Shu Village, she never heard anyone discussing this, so it seemed that such news had been suppressed by the higher-ups.
If it was so difficult for the eldest princess to promote female officials in the court, let alone those below her level.
Niu Niu said innocently, "Last time, a high-ranking official from the county government came to my house and told my mother about it."
Meng Yuanxiao: "..."
She had initially thought Li's words were just an exaggeration, but now it seemed that Ye really had an affair with someone from the county government.
"Niu Niu, do you still remember what that high-ranking official looked like?"
Niu Niu tilted her head, thought carefully for a moment, and said, "It was a handsome uncle. When that uncle came, my mother hid me in the west room, and I secretly saw him through the crack in the door."
Meng Yuanxiao thought about it for a moment, following Niu Niu's words. Was the young and good-looking person in the county government office Xu, the registrar?
She was surprised and frowned, feeling even more disgusted with Ye Shi. She even began to dislike Xu Zhubu's originally handsome face.
But seeing Niu Niu looking at her like that, she couldn't help but soften. Since she couldn't get away anyway, she simply picked up a twig and started teaching Niu Niu to read.
When she took Niu Niu home, she deliberately avoided the villagers. The two of them, one big and one small, kept their heads down, looking like they had done something wrong.
The Ye family lived at the east end of the village. Ye leaned against the door and waited. When the person came over, she giggled and said, "Niu Niu likes you. Mrs. Cui, come and play often!"
Meng Yuanxiao didn't want to talk to her. On his way back, he was still afraid of being seen, so he deliberately went around from the east side of the village to the back before heading to Sun Lizhang's house.
On the way back, she met Mao, the second daughter-in-law of Village Chief Sun. Mao called out to her, "Where are you coming from, Madam Cui?"
Feeling guilty, Meng Yuanxiao gave a perfunctory reply.
Madam Mao walked over and said, "Does Lord Cui know my sister-in-law's brother? Today when I went to town, I saw Lord Cui go into a restaurant with him."
Meng Yuanxiao was bewildered, thinking she should ask her brother Tang when she got back. After a moment's thought, she asked curiously, "Second Sister-in-law Mao, I heard that Madam Ye has a younger brother-in-law?"
Mao was stunned for a moment before realizing who the "Ye" she was referring to was. She casually said, "Isn't that right? When Ye's husband died, her baby was still in her belly. When her baby was six months old, the village was flooded, and her uncle drowned in the river in front of the village."
As she spoke, Mao raised her hand and pointed southeast, "It's just a mile down from where the villagers usually wash their clothes. Luckily, there's a big willow tree there, whose roots have spread into the river and blocked it. Otherwise, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to find the remains!"
Meng Yuanxiao exclaimed in surprise, "How could they have drowned?"
Mao scoffed and leaned closer to whisper, "You don't know, her younger brother-in-law is an obedient and sensible man, and he is very filial to his sister-in-law."
"It rained heavily for days, and the Nanhe River flooded. Why would her second son go to the Nanhe River for no reason? Everyone in the village said that Ye was having an affair and was caught by her uncle. Her uncle was so angry that he ran out of the house, went to the Nanhe River, and drowned himself!"
Meng Yuanxiao: "..."
Mao continued, "That widow is no pushover. Just last year, she seduced a peddler who often came to the village, trying to get him to marry her and saying she wanted to run away with him. One night, the peddler came looking for her again, but he was caught by the Wang family."
"She herself was fine, but that peddler, a naked bachelor, was beaten to death by the Wang family and dumped at the foot of that earthen slope at the west end of the village!"
Meng Yuanxiao: "..."
Today, she and Niu Niu squatted at the foot of that earthen slope for a long time. When she heard Mao's words, she felt a chill run down her spine and subconsciously swallowed.
Mao continued to ramble on, "The Wang family was afraid she would lose face again, so in order to keep her in check, they didn't even report to the authorities that her husband had died."
"You can do that?" Meng Yuanxiao was stunned.
Mao then seemed to realize that she had said too much and quickly stopped herself, "Hey, I was just saying it casually. Only the Wang family knows the truth about these things."
Meng Yuanxiao was still in shock when she arrived at the door of Sun Village Chief's house. Mao called her name, and she came back to her senses.
The elm leaves in front of the door have all fallen, and a few sparrows perch on the bare branches, their necks tucked in as they chirp.
Meng Yuanxiao glanced at the branch and, remembering the roasted sparrow that Sun Sanlang had brought him that day, couldn't help but swallow hard, his stomach rumbling.
When they returned to the courtyard, they found that Cui Xintang had already come back.
In the past, when she came back from outside, she would always hug Cui Xintang and chatter on and on for half a day, telling him all the interesting things that had happened that day.
For example, if one family's chicken pecks at another family's freshly washed wheat, or one family's dog bites another family's chicken, or one family's chicken runs into another family's henhouse to lay an egg, the two families might start arguing in the street over an egg.
She talked about such trivial things with great enthusiasm. Cui Xintang listened absentmindedly, but she still forced him to listen by sternly pressing his face against hers.
But today, when she came back from outside, she seemed unusually absent-minded.
Cui Xintang, not understanding why, teased her, "Didn't the Sun family's dog and the Wang family's chicken fight today?"
Meng Yuanxiao glared at him, then frowned. "Brother Tang, why have you changed your clothes again?"
Cui Xintang glanced down at his clothes, hummed in response, and casually said, "My clothes are splattered with mud. I was afraid you'd find it offensive, so I changed them as soon as I got back."
Meng Yuanxiao didn't believe it. She frowned and looked him over, then stepped forward and sniffed him. Sure enough, she smelled a faint scent of perfume.
She angrily questioned, "You went to see the Ye family again?"
Cui Xintang said helplessly, "I went to town today and just got back. I don't have time to see Madam Ye."
Meng Yuanxiao tilted his head and thought about it; indeed, Madam Ye was reluctant to use cosmetics.
Cui Xintang explained, "There are many people in town today, so perhaps they accidentally got infected."
Meng Yuanxiao puffed out his cheeks and snorted.
Today is market day in town. Winter is just around the corner, and it's getting colder every day. In a few more days, no one will want to go out.
So today, most of the women in the village went to town to sell the eggs and grain they had saved up at home, exchange them for copper coins, and then buy some oil, salt, and winter supplies.
Cui Xintang knew she probably hadn't found any fun today, so he stopped teasing her and brought her water, saying, "Wash your hands and have your meal."
Meng Yuanxiao washed his hands and went into the main room, where he immediately saw the chicken on the table.
Her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward, sniffing, "Brother Tang, how come there are chickens?"
In the few days she'd been in Huai Shu Village, she'd only eaten pork once, and it was just boiled in plain water with salt, the taste of which was indescribable.
Having gone without meat for several days, she was practically drooling over the chickens in the village head's coop.
Cui Xintang said, "Didn't Sun Dalang steal two of your sparrows that day? Your husband couldn't catch the sparrows for you, but he didn't want you to lose face, so he went to Sun Dalang's yard, caught a chicken, and cooked it to vent your anger."
He was just teasing her. If he really bought a chicken from someone in the village, people would probably line up to give him chickens.
A few chickens wouldn't normally amount to much, but he had countless eyes watching him on this trip, so there was no need to invite trouble.
So when they first moved in, Village Chief Sun had his daughter-in-law kill a chicken, cook it, and send it over. He then had it taken back exactly as it was.
After Sun, the village chief, had a pretty good grasp of his personality, he didn't dare to act on his own initiative for the next few days.
In the past few days, he had been traveling around several nearby villages. Today, he finally had the chance to buy a chicken at a restaurant to treat Yuanyuan when he arrived in town.
As Cui Xintang spoke, he stepped forward and pinched her fair cheek. Her originally chubby cheeks had become somewhat thinner in the past few days.
He said, "Eat more, lest your mother-in-law and Meng Xu blame me for mistreating you when we return to the capital in a few days."
Meng Yuanxiao wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the chin with a smile. "Thank you, Brother Tang!"
After saying that, he sat down and took the lead by picking up a greasy chicken leg and taking a bite.
The chicken cooked in the town's restaurants was naturally not as good as the chicken in the capital's restaurants, but given the limited resources, she was already very satisfied with the meal.
Meng Yuanxiao felt that she was very sensible, and even if she was greedy, she would never cause trouble for her brother Tang.
With a smile, she handed the chicken leg she had taken a bite of to Cui Xintang, wanting him to have a bite.
Cui Xintang glanced at her, but did not refuse. He then took a bite of the spot where she had just bitten.
Meng Yuanxiao took the chicken leg back and took a delicious bite.
With satisfaction in her mouth, she let out a playful sigh.
Thinking of what Mao had said, Meng Yuanxiao swallowed the chicken in her mouth and asked, "Brother Tang, do you know Lin's younger brother? I just met Mao, and she said she saw you and Lin's younger brother go into a restaurant in town today."
Cui Xintang was serving her porridge with a spoon when he heard this. He paused, intending to say that she was a junior member of an old friend's family, but after a slight hesitation, he simply said, "We met in town and had lunch together."
Without giving it any further thought, Meng Yuanxiao quietly asked, "Was he sent by the county government to spy on you?"
Cui Xintang added some porridge to her bowl, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Perhaps."
Meng Yuanxiao scooped a spoonful of porridge into his mouth, then looked up and saw that Cui Xintang had only picked up a few pieces of chicken and hadn't touched the other chicken leg, which puzzled him.
"Brother Tang, why aren't you eating the other chicken leg?"
Cui Xintang casually said, "It's getting cold. Keep the other chicken leg on the stove so you can have it for breakfast tomorrow."
Meng Yuanxiao blinked.
She sighed softly, "I never thought I'd end up like this."
Every chicken must be carefully saved to be eaten the next day.
Cui Xintang was amused by her, "Are you going to come along next time?"
Meng Yuanxiao: "Go ahead!"
After saying that, she smiled and said, "As long as I'm with Brother Tang, even a steamed bun tastes sweet."
"How about we have Village Chief Sun's family send you some cornbread to try tomorrow?"
"……don't want!"
