Chapter 329: The New Jianghu’s Mountain Market
In the thirteenth year of Xia, Yongzhou, river flows from the west to the east, and the river city is where the river flows.
Thirty miles outside Hecheng, there is a colorful mountain with a small lake in the mountain.
Next to the lake is a small estate.
In an elegant courtyard of a small manor.
"Big! How do I solve this problem?"
Eleven-year-old Shan Huanhuan held her homework book and pointed at a math problem and said.
She was about eleven or twelve years old, very cute, and wearing a blue school uniform.
Da is the local dialect, meaning father.
Shanwei frowned and looked at the question.
Ships A and B are sailing in a river 90 kilometers apart. If they are heading in opposite directions, they will meet in 3 hours. If they are heading in the same direction, it will take 15 hours for ship A to catch up with ship B. What is the speed of ship A in still water?
He knows every word, but he can't understand them when they are put together.
Why did they meet after 3 hours, and why did they walk in the same direction for 15 hours?
Such a boring ship!
"I don't know how to do this question," he said.
"Big! This is a question for elementary school students!" Shan Huanhuan looked at his father and said with a frown.
I never went to primary school, how would I know!
"You should write other things first. When your sister Juanjuan comes back from school later, you can ask her!" Shanwei said helplessly.
"But Sister Juanjuan is always bad. She even reported me to you last time!" Shan Huanhuan snorted when he heard Shan Juanjuan's name and continued.
"You are sisters, how can there be any reason for you to dislike each other!" Shanwei said comfortingly when he saw that his younger daughter had a grudge against his older daughter.
"But she is not my biological sister! She is Aunt Chun's daughter!" Shan Huanhuan said.
"But you are all my daughters! You are all the same in my eyes!" Shan Wei said, touching Shan Huanhuan's head.
"Da! I know you are the best." Shan Huanhuan said.
"Of course! You are daddy's good daughter!" Shanwei said with a smile.
"Big brother, I saw a pair of red boots." Shan Huanhuan was interrupted by Shan Wei before she could finish her words.
"No! I just bought a pair from you and Juanjuan last time." Shanwei said with a dark face: "Because of this, your mother even nagged me for a long time!"
"Huh, my mother is so stingy!" Shan Huanhuan said, "Obviously she and Aunt Chun usually buy the most."
"That bitch is saying bad things about me again!"
A roar came from the next yard!
The roar was followed by the sound of clattering footsteps.
She was a beautiful woman. Although she was already a mother, she did not look old due to her Qi Hai cultivation. Instead, she had a mature beauty.
She is one of Shanwei's wives, Qi Jing.
"Do your homework well, otherwise I'll pester you to buy things! If you don't manage the household, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are!" Qi Jing scolded his daughter.
Shan Huanhuan was used to her mother's nagging and began to do her homework silently.
"Okay, okay. She just mentioned it." Shan Wei saw Qi Jing scolding Shan Huanhuan and said to smooth things over.
"And you! Don't spoil the children for no reason! Look at the men in other people's families, they are the pillars of the family, all of them..." When Qi Jing heard Shanwei's words, he started to scold Shanwei instead.
"Madam, I..." Shanwei was speechless.
He knew his wife was talking about him staying at home all day.
"Our savings are enough for us to spend, so why should we work for others?" Shanwei was criticized and had no choice but to defend himself.
"But others are so glorious! Model workers, the brightest people in the whole Hecheng!" Qi Jing said, "I hope my husband is like this too."
"That's right, my husband, you are also a Zhoutian warrior, you can also strive for it!" Another person came into the yard, and with her came a little girl.
She is another wife of Shanxu, Qi Chun. She is Qi Jing's elder sister and looks very similar to Qi Jing, both are very beautiful.
Next to her is her daughter with Shan Xu, Shan Juanjuan.
When Shan Juanjuan was picked up from school, she saw her mother and Aunt Jing scolding her father.
She gave her sister a look.
The two exchanged glances.
Although they occasionally quarreled and fought over things, they were surprisingly consistent in their approach to this matter.
Da, you are so miserable.
"You are a grown man, but you stay at home all day long"
"The family is supported by the two of us women"
"You also said that you know Chairman Shi Feizhe, you also use connections!"
"I think you are bragging!"
"Shanxu. I really misjudged you at first."
"Sister, I feel the same way."
Hearing her mother and Aunt Jing talking more and more outrageously, Shan Juanjuan's eyes turned and she said to Shan Wei:
"Big Brother, the swordsmanship you taught me last time helped me get first place in the swordsmanship class!"
"Please teach me two more moves!"
With his daughter's help, Shanwei was finally freed from the mixed doubles of his two wives.
The new Jianghu is a monogamous society. In principle, it does not support polygamy, monogamy with multiple concubines, or one wife with multiple husbands, which are practices in the old Jianghu. These people are allowed to divorce voluntarily.
But if a man like Shanxu and his two wives are together voluntarily, we will not force them.
We must ensure that people are not forced to take concubines or husbands, and that families with emotional foundations are not broken up.
This is how the new Jianghu handles things!
Is it good to have many wives?
If it was like before, with thousands of acres of fertile land and a horde of servants, he would have nothing to do every day, just traveling with his two wives and fighting with swords.
That's good of course.
As a result, the child has a wet nurse when he is young, and can practice martial arts when he grows up without much effort.
Until now, Xin Jianghu did not allow servants. There were only a few elderly people in the manor, who were allowed to live there, and the others were dismissed.
Most of the huge estate and land were distributed to other people.
This was the only manor left for their family of three to live in.
Later, Shanwei built a little more house by himself, so that there was enough space for several people to live in.
But after the place became bigger, the daily maintenance of the manor and the family's eating, drinking, defecating and urinating kept the two sisters Qi Chun and Qi Jing busy every day.
Fortunately, there are still a few elderly people in the manor. Although they can no longer work, they can teach the two young masters how to work.
In the eyes of the old man in the manor, the two young masters were wandering around and rarely managed household affairs, so they were not beheaded like the old master.
But doing the work themselves was also an eye-opener for them.
And Shanwei is a live-in son-in-law.
The family encountered a huge change, and they two had to do all the work. Their husband was idle all day long, doing nothing, and even didn't carry the bowl after dinner.
This little bit of resentment, accumulated over time, led to complaints from Qi Chun and Qi Jing.
Life is not only about love and romance, but also about the daily necessities and miscellaneous trivial matters.
Trivial matters are what consume one's passion for life the most!
Now that I'm back from playing, there should be fewer typos, but they are inevitable.
