…

It was time to take a bath in the academy, and it was almost the Chinese New Year. The business of the perfume shop at home was very good, and it brought in hundreds of taels of silver every day, so Su Yan was naturally happy.

I originally planned to close the shop during New Year's Day, but shopkeeper Xiao said not to close it, so she gave him three times his wages during the New Year's Day.

Shopkeeper Xiao's wife was very happy and brought them food several times.

When they were going to visit Master Sun in Fucheng, Su Yan asked Zhang Xiu if he wanted to be in the county town or in Fucheng. Zhang Xiu thought that there was no one to take care of his family, so he said he would be in the county town.

Erdan and Tuantuan naturally followed Su Yan.

Afraid of traveling at night, the carriage set off from Qin's house just after dawn.

There were many carriages going to Fucheng, and the road was jammed for a while. They walked slowly at first, but then stopped moving at all.

The family simply got off the carriage to take a breath. Su Yan gave water to the two children and looked at the rows of carriages. "I'm afraid something happened ahead."

Otherwise, it won't move at all.

Qin An said "Yes" and put a rabbit fur hat on her. At this time, a group of people nearby said: "It is said that a widow seduced the master of a wealthy family. The head of the house found out about it and called for people to chase her and beat her."

"Beat to death."

"The government is still cleaning up the bodies right now."

Hearing this, Qin An subconsciously looked at Su Yan. Su Yan knew that he was afraid that she would think too much, so she half-joked, "I am not a widow."

Qin An immediately smiled and said in front of the two children: "You are my wife."

Erdan looked elsewhere embarrassedly.

After a while, the carriage began to move. After a quarter of an hour, Su Yan saw a person wrapped in a straw mat. The embroidered shoes were still outside.

Before I could think of anything, a voice came from outside the carriage, "Daughter-in-law, are you hungry? There are snacks in the bag."

She won't end up like this.

Such a firm thought flashed through Su Yan's mind, and she returned to the man outside the carriage, "Okay."

I was wasted a lot of time on the road, so I had to find an inn to stay on the road. There was no spare room, so four people were squeezed into one room.

Qin An and Su Yan slept on the floor. Qin An was afraid that she would be uncomfortable sleeping, so he spread his clothes on it because it was hard on his side.

Su Yan pulled him to sleep a little more, but Qin An didn't move, just hugged her tightly and whispered: "Go to sleep, wife." After that, he kissed her ear gently.

The two of them had just fallen asleep when a gong was beating outside. Qin An immediately got up and went to the window to see that there were many officers and soldiers downstairs.

I guess they are being investigated closely because they are afraid of people causing trouble during the Chinese New Year.

Su Yan stood next to him, rubbed her eyes, and whispered: "Something happened?"

"No, check it out, wife, put on your clothes."

Qin An took her clothes and put them on her. As soon as she put them on, there was a knock on the door, "Open the door."

After opening the door, the two officers and soldiers glanced into the room and then asked: "Where did it come from?"

"Yun County." Qin An took out the account from his pocket and showed it to him.

The officers and soldiers looked at it for a while, then looked at Su Yan, "You can't enter the city, and the widow can't enter."

Qin An's expression suddenly changed, and he said darkly: "She is my wife."

Suddenly violent, the two officers and soldiers were still a little timid and explained: "We are afraid of trouble during the New Year, so we will not allow the widow to enter the city for the time being."

Su Yan gently pulled Qin An's sleeve and asked him not to say anything. These people just followed the instructions from above.

"Thank you sir, I won't enter the city."

Seeing that she was quite knowledgeable, the officers and soldiers didn't say anything more. Su Yan closed the door again, looked at her house, and said softly: "It's okay, I'll wait for you at the inn outside Fucheng."

After speaking, I gently held his rough hand with a comforting touch.

These things will happen more and more in the future, and with the regulations issued by the court, widows will become more and more unpopular.

I don’t know how many widows couldn’t bear it and committed suicide.

Even though Su Yan was angry, she was not able to abolish this rule.

On New Year's Day, people come and go, and Qin An doesn't worry about his wife and children waiting for him outside the city.

He whispered: "Let's go home when daybreak comes."

"No, Master Sun is not easy to meet. I might be of some help to you if you meet him."

Su Yan added: "It's okay to feel a little wronged, as long as you don't feel wronged all the time."

"I will send you back first, and then come to Fucheng." Qin An also knew that there was nothing he could do.

Having said that, Su Yan was not going to sit still and wait for death, and pinched her with the word "widow" again and again, making her very uncomfortable.

It is useless if one or two widows make trouble, but if a group of widows make trouble, the court will not be able to deal with it unless he orders all the widows to be killed.

The day after Qin An sent them back, Xiao Lan came to see Tuantuan.

Early in the morning, Qin An rode away, Zhang Xiu went to the butcher shop to help, and Su Yan and the two children were left at home.

Xiao Lan held Tuantuan in her arms and fed her, and glanced at Su Yan a few times, "We will spend the Chinese New Year in the county this year."

Su Yan did not answer her immediately, but pushed Erdan away: "Erdan, go inside and write big characters."

Erdan entered the house obediently.

After watching the door close, she looked at Xiao Lan and said, "I will not leave this home."

What she means is that no matter how the world targets her or treats her poorly, she doesn't care.

Xiao Lan was silent for a while and said: "I can't make the decision in this matter."

She paused and then said, "You will not be allowed in."
