Chapter 30: Rebuke

The backyard of the Longmen Town Restaurant looked a little deserted, and the moonlight sprinkled down from the branches and leaves of the big trees in the courtyard, mottled and mottled. The light in the house next to the pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info is like a bean, and although it is dim, it has a kind of warmth.

Mother Tang looked at her daughter who was cleaning up inside and out, and sighed: "Eldest sister, since you have moved back, forget about your son-in-law." The son-in-law is a good person, but he is too unblessed, and you don't have a marriage in this life. ”

Sister Tang said casually: "What if you forget?" What if you don't forget? In short, there is no such person. ”

"Gone, gone, let's look forward. You are less than 20 years old, it is a good time, and it is not difficult to find a good family. ”

"What does mom say this? I have some thoughts, but I still think about how to make the business of the restaurant better. It's autumn now, and the end of the year is just a few months away. If this continues, how will we face the government's debt collection? ”

Tang's mother said: "Don't worry about these things, the restaurant has its own two of us." Besides, if you are married, we can't catch you after the debt, we just sell the family property. Daughter, let me tell you, whether it is the previous dowry or the money from the sale of the house this time, you have to collect it, it is your own. If you marry someone again in the future, this is your reliance, you have money in your hands, you can choose a husband, and you will have the confidence to speak at home in the future. In the past, the two ministers of the court were still vying to marry a wealthy woman. has money in his hand, and even the prime minister in the court rushes to marry, but think about how important this money is. is now, the official in Jiashanfang, but he has been a deputy envoy of salt and iron in the court, and the wife in his family has not remarried. ”

Sister Tang shook her head and did not speak. Deputy Envoy of Salt and Iron, who bought a house today, also served as Deputy Envoy of Salt and Iron, looking at a very kind person, I really can't think of what kind of official he is in the court.

The two ministers robbed the widow refers to Zhang Qixian and Xiang Minzhong, when a widow had a dowry of 100,000 yuan, and the two of them were vying to marry and be greedy for the money. The trouble was unscathed, and the lawsuit went to the emperor. However, although these two have both been prime ministers, they have also led soldiers to fight. The literati led the troops from Zhang Qixian, and Xiang Minzhong presided over the Battle of Lanyuan together with Kou Zhun. In this era, as long as you have led soldiers and served in military positions, in the eyes of others, you will be lenient in terms of etiquette.

Jiashan Fang is in the south of Taohua Fang, the two squares are close to each other, where there is Ren Bu's house, Xu Pingchu returned to Beijing when the salt and iron deputy envoy. He also married a wealthy widow after losing his wife, but he did not seem to be having a good time.

Seeing that Sister Tang didn't speak, Mother Tang said: "Sister, you listen to your mother's words, a woman's good times are not a few years, you must not be inappropriate." Take advantage of the young people who are now like flowers and bones, find a good family, and have a place for the rest of your life. I've heard that there is a ruler in the city who is interested in you, yes or no? ”

Sister Tang said coldly: "When did Mom see an unmarried official in Luoyang City?" ”

"What is not married, eldest sister, you have also been married, and you are no longer the daughter of Huanghua. As long as the person is suitable, don't pay attention to that. Marrying an official, even if it is a concubine, is not wronged. ”

"Mom only knows that there are officials in Jiashanfang, so do you know that there is another Li Zhongcheng there? I used to be the prefect of Henan Prefecture. His wife couldn't give birth, so she married an outer chamber and gave birth to a son, and because his wife was very powerful, she had been raised outside. Later, the lady repeatedly said that she would raise it herself, so she took it home and feasted the guests. You know what? His wife struck the boy alive on a pillar in front of the guests! The husband's biological flesh and blood merchant is like this, not to mention a concubine in the outer room! Mom, if you do it for my good, don't mention these words again! Your son-in-law's bones are not cold, I should have kept filial piety for three years, but I was not informal, could I not even keep it for a whole year? ”

Li Ji once served as the prefect of Henan, because the Henan government was in Xuanfanfang, and Jiashanfang was east and west, he also bought a house in Jiashanfang. The term of office of the prefect of Henan expired, and he entered the dynasty as the imperial history of Zhongcheng and died in office. Li Ji's wife could not have children, and she was extremely jealous, so she threw the son born to the concubine to death. Li Ji has no queen since then, and his step-nephew inherited the incense.

Not long after this incident, it was rumored in Luoyang City, and Tang's mother listened to her daughter and never said a word.

Legally, the wife is the mother of all the husband's children, and there is no legal explanation for how the parents beat their son to death, and this matter is finally settled, which is really chilling.

The concubines in the outer room still have personal freedom, as long as the husband treats each other sincerely, it will not be too bad. It is the children who are afraid, because their mother is a wife, and the biological mother cannot control their fate.

The old couple of the Tang family only saw that some rich people lived in harmony and beauty in their outer rooms, but they didn't know that their children were often abused at home, and they felt that it was nothing for their daughters to be concubines, and Sister Tang obviously didn't think so. Besides, she has also seen and heard of Sun Wei, and he is from a good family, so he will never be a concubine for this kind of person.

At the same time, the restaurant opposite is brightly lit, as bright as day, and there are endless silks and bamboos, and there are songs and laughter everywhere.

In a small pavilion, several singers tune the orchestra and sing in a low voice. The bead curtain on the opposite side hung down, and it was impossible to see the situation inside.

Sun Wei's prefect sat behind the curtain, looked at a middle-aged man in his fifties opposite, and said lazily: "I haven't been here for some days, but your business here is getting more and more prosperous, and you have a lot of income, right?" ”

The middle-aged man laughed and said: "They are all cultivated by Director Tong, and the small family is grateful for the kindness of the supervisor." ”

"Well, you know it. Such a restaurant, in our officials, is just a matter of words. But for ordinary people, they can earn gold and silver! Ah, do you sayβ€”"

"That's exactly what the director said! In Luoyang City, there are a few people who can compare to Sun Tong's sentence! In his hands, I don't know how many people's lives he holds, what is a restaurant! Director, this year's business committee is really good, and in a few days, I will send some gold and silver jewelry to the general judge. The concubine who is sentenced to the general sentence must not be too shabby. ”

"Excuse me, my family officials help you, not for that money." As soon as these words came out, Director Tong only felt a faint pain in his heart. How could it not be for money? Sun Wei's favorite thing is money. However, now that the transfer envoy is in Luoyang City, the new official is keeping an eye on his appointment, and he does not dare to fall into the hands of others casually. "You know in your heart why my family officials want to build a new restaurant here. This restaurant is built, only your family gets benefits, and you are not the son of an official, why is it so good to you? ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Although the little one is not the son of the general judge, he is more filial than his son, so if there is anything to order!" ”

"Do you still need to be commanded? I think you're making a lot of money and your brain is confused! If you get benefits, you should always think about doing things for my family's officials, otherwise why should you be bothered! Don't you know what you're doing here these past few months?! ”

Seeing that Director Tong's voice suddenly rose, the middle-aged man looked panicked: "The supervisor is angry, the little one understands, the little one understands." Since my restaurant opened, there were no customers in Tang Lao'er's restaurant opposite. Only those poor coolies who are so poor that they go there to beg for a bowl of wine to drink, this old man will definitely lose his family money this year. ”

"It's not enough to just lose the family's wealth, and it is only in line with my family's officials that this old man will lose all the old and the young. That old man has a daughter and has recently lost a husband, you don't know, right? ”

"The little one knows, isn't it because Sister Tang's husband is gone, so she started this restaurant here-"

"Now that you know, you should know what you're going to do. Let me tell you, if my family officials can make you rich, they can make you bankrupt! This year, you must let Donald on the other side lose all the lives of the family, otherwise, it will be you who will live that kind of life next year! ――Do you know?! ”

The middle-aged man kept rubbing his hands and whispered, "Director, this matter is a little difficult. That old man has always been cautious, even if he buys a restaurant, even if he loses a year, it is nothing more than astigmatism of the family property, how can he lose his life? Director, if you don't think so, find someone from Henan County and change the old man's petition to three years. If he can afford it in one year, can he afford it in three years? In this way, he has to do whatever the director tells him to do! ”

Director Tong sneered: "You think of good things!" Now that the new transfer envoy has taken office, how dare my family officials do this? You're thinking of making money here for three years, right? Besides, even if the thing can be done, my family's official term will expire three years later, who will the little lady of the Tang family give it to? After spending so much effort, it is cheaper for others, you are a pig's brain! ”

"What did the Director say? Sister Tang is less than twenty years old, and she is still in her youth after waiting for a year or two. Even if the term of office is over, it can be taken to the new place where it is appointed, so what is the delay? ”

When Director Tong heard this, he slapped the table suddenly: "Alas, Du Er, I found that your brain is really bad, you were kicked by a donkey when you were a child, right?" My family officials travel all over the country, and the little lady who likes it will be brought home, so how big a house will it be? What's going on in your head? Why don't you want to think about what people should think? ”

The middle-aged man was taken aback: "What does the director meanβ€”"

"You still don't understand that? My family officials are alone in Luoyang City, lonely at night, I want to find the little lady of the Tang family to accompany me, do you want to accompany me for a lifetime? Waiting until the end of the year, it is because my family officials have always been law-abiding and will not do things that violate the law, so they have to endure loneliness, do you know? I'm telling you, if you don't do it well by the end of the year, you should think about your family's future! Haven't you heard anyone say that? The heavy service in the world is no more than the front of the Ya, but when you become a Yaqian, you also get this kind of good thing, I don't know if it is the blessing of the previous life, you should cherish it? If you don't cherish it, I will let you know in the coming year why Yaqian is a heavy service in the world! If you don't let Donald go bankrupt, I'll let you go bankrupt! ”

Seeing that Director Tong's voice was fierce, Du Er's face was full of earth. really wants to offend the person in front of him, he is worse than Donald.

Donald Lao'er is a common man in the end, and in order to clean him up, he always has to think of some means. Now that he is on an errand in front of the yamen, he doesn't even use these means, and he can clean up what is reasonable and legal. As long as he let himself take his official belongings along the Yellow River to Shaanxi Road, Sun Wei has countless means to make his life worse than death.

The hands of people are short, and now Du Er is also difficult to ride a tiger, if he does not follow the instructions of Director Tong, he will have to prevent disasters for Tang Lao'er's family. Just like Director Tong said, Donald Lao'er is not his own father, why?

But how to make Donald break his family, he has to think of a perfect way. (To be continued.) )
