1366:The Ladies' Tea Party (9)
Jiang Pengji has always been a non-mainstream lord.
If you change to another lord, as long as it is not a major event such as the sky falling, it is generally left for the New Year to deal with.
She doesn't, she wants the other party's whole family not to even have a happy New Year.
New Year's Day, early in the morning.
Jiang Pengji sent a messenger to the door and reprimanded him door to door, and the movement was so big that the entire Xiangyang County knew about it.
Almost every family that was reprimanded played out a similar plot, with men and women, young and old, crying aggrievedly.
This is the first melon of the year, so that the audience who eats melons can watch it with relish, and forget to eat when they see the excitement.
ββ¦β¦ My son is loyal to the Lanting Gong and has made a lot of meritorious contributions, how can the three or five concubines become a disregard for etiquette and law, and overstepping the system?" The old woman was frightened by her son's words, and she didn't care about slapping her daughter-in-law to get angry, and looked at the messenger cautiously and said, "It's obviously my daughter-in-law."
The stomach is not angry, and the son I gave birth to is a fake man who can't inherit the lineage, so in desperation, I forced my son to take a concubine. β
The old woman took the concubine's pot on herself, and poured sewage on her daughter-in-law, so as to quibble.
The messenger secretly rolled his eyes, he took people to run away from two houses, almost all of them are this plot, can there be a little new idea?
"Old lady, let me ask you next, Ling Lang is expensive this year?"
The old lady said, "My son has three Chinese New Year's Eve today." β
The envoy said, "Old lady, I will ask again, can someone on Ling Langzu be crowned king and worship the prime minister?"
The old lady blushed and said, "The ancestors have cultivated for generations, and the generation of the ancestors has only become a wealthy family, and the ancestors are not so noble. β
"There is no one in the ancestors to worship the king, and it has not become a rich family until recent generations of farming, isn't it a common people's family with a little savings
The envoy coldly refuted, "You said that Ling Lang 'has made a lot of meritorious contributions,' but now that he has been knighted and worshipped the prime minister?
When the old lady heard this, her eyes widened with fright.
She hesitated, "This, this...... The old lady doesn't know about it......"
Lack of status, lack of merit, and no qualifications for concubines.
The envoy sneered again, "I sent someone to check before, and found that the old lady was not strict in governing the family, and had no way to teach her children, conniving at Ling Lang's favored concubine to destroy his wife, and forcing his daughter-in-law who had the merit of giving birth to and governing the family to abdicate and make way for Xian, and wanted to support the noble concubine to take the throne and take the concubine as his wife, isn't this true?"
Even if you don't need to check, just the old lady's behavior of slapping her daughter-in-law without saying a word just now is enough to explain the problem.
Where does the old lady dare to admit it?
The head shook like a rattle.
She wept and lay on the ground, and said, "These things were done by the old woman's lard, and my son did not do it of his own volition!"
The messenger's eyes were full of indifference, and he snorted softly.
With a wave of his hand, he planned to go to the next one.
"Slow down, messenger!"
The old woman was still weeping, but his son was not a man who could only cry, and hurriedly pulled the messenger aside, and secretly stuffed two purses under the cover of his wide sleeves. Both money bags are bulging and full of weight. And when the messenger weighed it, he knew it in his heart.
He accepted the man's bribe, and the man's face was happy, and he suddenly felt that there was a play.
"Envoy, please ask the envoy to say a few more kind words in front of Lan Ting Gong in this matter. The man said calmly, "It's not a secret, these women in the backyard are not concubines, they are all prostitutes I bought from outside, and they are raised in the backyard to sing songs for the family to relieve boredomββ"
Trespassing the system is much more serious than spoiling a concubine and killing a wife, and the lightest will also affect the career, and the most serious one may harm the whole family.
However, if these women were not concubines but prostitutes he raised, it would be a different matter.
When the messenger heard this, his heart was slightly cold.
This man is also ruthless enough, as far as the messenger knows, the woman who is pregnant and about to give birth, but his own cousin! In order to keep his career and future, he directly classifies his pregnant cousin and other serious concubines as prostitutes who buy and sell at will!
Exceeding the concubinage system is a great disaster, but raising servants and prostitutes is not a big deal.
Before the troubled times, many powerful families still used tricks as a fashion, which was a graceful affair.
"That being the case, it's probably a misunderstanding, and you can prove their innocence by showing them their deeds. The envoy sneered in his heart, but pointed at the man with a look of concern on his face, "It's not too late, I should also go to the next one, otherwise it will be difficult to make a difference." β
The man sent the messenger off.
The messenger left with a smile, and it was not until he left Chang'an Lane that he snorted in disgust and spat on it.
He said indignantly, "Lao Tzu has never seen such a shameless man - with such a little money, you still want to buy Lao Tzu's life?"
One morning he ran four or five houses, and the messenger went to deliver a box of "booty".
Not only him, but several other messengers also "returned with a full load".
"Tsk, that's a fat. β
Yang Si raised his hand and twisted his beard, and looked at the boxes one by one, which were full of bribes.
Some of them are full of gold and silver, and some are precious jewelry bracelets, any of which can lift people out of poverty and become rich.
The envoy smiled bitterly and arched his hand, "Don't be scary, Yang Junshi, where do the last generals dare to touch these dirty money?"
This is related to the future of the future, and no one will give up a good life for a little sweetness.
"Look at you cowards, just know that you are afraid, the lord will not see corruption and bribery. Yang Si was in a very good mood, and his speech was very gentle, and he said, "The lord has always rewarded and punished clearly. You have made meritorious deeds today, and you have run so many houses, so naturally you must be rewarded. Eighty percent of these things were confiscated, and the remaining two percent were divided, and the right was given by the lord at the beginning of spring this year. β
Oops-
What a surprise!
Several envoys were overjoyed, even if it was only divided into two equal amounts, it would be a lot of extra income to get it.
The envoy hesitated, "Master Yang, there is something going on in the end...... I'm a little worried, those people won't really forge the identity deed, right?"
The women who serve in the backyard of those people, some of them are serious concubines, and some are common rooms that enjoy the substantive treatment of concubines, except for their names, they are no different from concubines, and many of them are pregnant. In general, almost all of them are from good families with innocent backgrounds.
If the identity deed is forged, it is from a good family to a cheap status, or a cheap status that can be bought and sold at will and allowed to be abused!
"So what?" Yang Sibo said coldly, "The more ruthless they do, the better, and it is better to be ruthless until they are left behind for ten thousand years." β
Art comes from life, and life is higher than life.
If these people don't die, what will Wei Ci use as material for writing?
At the same time, the Chang'an Lane family also staged a plot of chickens flying and dogs jumping.
Several concubines were forced to draw and detain, even if they cried and begged, not only did they fail to soften the people next to the pillow, but they were exchanged for a few kicks.
The pregnant cousin also looked at the man with tears in her eyes.
"Cousin......"
The man was indifferent, and the cousin stroked her round belly with one hand while looking at her aunt.
"Mother's ......"
The old woman slapped the table in anger and said angrily, "Are you important or my son's future important?" If we don't overcome this difficulty, our family will become the laughing stock of the neighborhood, and my son's career will be over." You have been sensible since you were a child, why are you so disobedient now!"
