Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 11: duty free

   Chapter 11 Exemption

  Ye Muyu shouted outside: "Ziluo."

   "Mom, what's the matter?" Chu Ziluo had just changed her shoes, came out of the house, heard Ye Muyu shout, and hurried over.

  Ye Muyu got up, "You look at your brother at home, if you don't study, I'll go tell your father, I'll go buy some meat back."

   "Buying meat?" Chu Ziluo couldn't help swallowing.

  Ye Muyu found out all the money left by Mrs. Ye, there are more than a dozen taels. Although he can't eat meat all at once, it's okay to eat every few days.

  She didn't want to explain too much, so she picked up a basket and went out.

Xingshui Village is very close to Nanchang County, with many residents and good conditions. The bridge is well repaired. There are two rivers on the edge. Many houses are built near the river, so many girls and women live next to the houses. Laundry on stone steps.

  Ye Muyu went out, and also realized that Nanchang County should belong to the scope of Jiangnan Water Town, but she had never traveled far, and she didn't know the specific land boundary. She only knew that this dynasty was called Dachu.

  Looking at the development of the current dynasty, it should be different from any dynasty in the previous life. It can be seen that the history of this world is different from what she knows.

  Ye Muyu went to the entrance of the village to buy pork.

  When I was crossing the bridge, I bumped into some women.

  Walking in the front, the woman in the green trousers saw Ye Muyu, and stopped quickly. She was so enthusiastic that she reached out to hold her arm.

   "Isn't this Mrs. Xiucai?"

   "I'm Aunt Zhao, remember, I'm from Anling Village, we met at your sister-in-law's house before."

  Ye Muyu recognized the other party. A well-known matchmaker from several nearby villages ran into her in Dafang because her eldest niece Chu Qingxiang talked about her marriage.

  Ye Muyu took a step back indiscriminately, with a slight smile on her face: "It turned out to be Aunt Zhao. Seeing that you are in a good mood today, I'm afraid there is good news."

   "Isn't that right, I found a good match for your niece, who is also a scholar, and she passed the exam this year." Aunt Zhao said in a low voice.

  The woman next to her heard it, and she was a little bit taken aback: "Aunt Zhao, such a good young girl, why didn't you introduce it to my girl."

   "Don't make fun of me, isn't your girl still young?" Mrs. Zhao didn't like this, she saw Ye Muyu, she had a plan in her heart, and wanted to deal with this not-so-bright scholar lady.

  The purpose is to increase the number of tax-free fertile land this year.

  The fertile land under the name of Mr. Xiucai can be exempted from tax.

  Scholars have to take annual exams every year. Scholars who fail the annual exams three times will have their honors revoked.

   And Chu Heng not only won the first place in the hospital examination at the age of fifteen, but also was rated excellent every time in the year-old examination.

  In addition to receiving one tael of silver and one liter of rice from the government every month, there is also a tax-free amount. His amount is fifty mu.

  Actually, apart from the Chu family, there are only a few acres left.

   But Aunt Zhao thought, something is better than nothing.

  Four acres of fertile land can save hundreds of catties of rice a year, and selling it is also a lot of money.

   Besides, Chu Heng's reputation is quite good, and he has never coveted other people's fertile land, so Aunt Zhao came up with this idea.

   "Miss Ye, I'll go to your elder brother's house to be a matchmaker in a while. If you are free, you can come." Aunt Zhao is inconvenient to say here, so she had to make an appointment.

  Ye Muyu gave an ambiguous answer: "Young lady, hurry up, my sister-in-law must be waiting impatiently."

   "That's right, then I'll go first." Aunt Zhao thought, if this marriage can be concluded, and the relationship with the Chu family will be good in the future, I'm afraid I can't ask them for help?
