Chapter 24: Concubinage seizes the right of wives
Yingying was happy to play a game of getting married with Xiaolu and Xiaowei, looking forward to the day that Xiaotian promised to come as soon as possible, she did not send anyone to inquire about Ye Xiaotian's current situation, although it was an easy thing for the Xia family.
Yingying did not blindly trust Ye Xiaotian to the point of believing that he could do anything, although she was naïve and did not understand the officialdom system, but after all, she was the daughter of Tusi, and her father was the helmsman of the Xia family, controlling more than a dozen tribes, and she was only given the title of commanding affairs.
A military attache of the fourth grade, the military attache with real power is not as good as the civil official with real power one or two grades lower than him, not to mention the false title, is it really so easy to be promoted to the civil official of the sixth rank with real power within two years? But when she left Ye Xiaotian, she looked very innocent, as if ninety-eight-seven-six, she could really achieve it overnight.
She pretended to be posturing, but she just didn't want to make Ye Xiaotian uncomfortable. During the two-year period, she hopes that there will be a miracle, that is the best ending, if not, she will elope with Ye Xiaotian! Maintaining a childlike heart does not mean that her IQ is also like that of a child.
In the heart of Shui Wu's daughter, who has been taught by strict parenting since childhood, some rules can never be crossed, and the education she has received since childhood has set up a cage in her heart, even if there is no external worldly constraint, she can still restrain herself very well.
But for Yingying, there is no psychological barrier to breaking the rules. But if she makes that choice, she will have to be separated from her family for a period of time, in that case, these two years will be the two years that she will accompany her relatives and make up for them, so during this time, she must be happy, and she must bring warm affection and happiness to her family.
Yingying never bows to difficulties, the stone is in front of her, just go around. She doesn't kick herself with strength, but she doesn't turn back either. From this point of view, she and Ye Xiaotian's temperament are very similar, and Ye Xiaotian is also a person who will not give up easily, but the difference is that what Ye Xiaotian is doing now does not seem to be bypassing the stone, but kicking it.
In the eyes of many people, this is impossible, although Ye Xiaotian once created a miracle of defeating Qi Mu and Meng Xiancheng. But Qi Mu is just a strong man. And Meng Xiancheng and Qi Mu colluded too deeply, there were countless criminal evidence, and they couldn't get rid of it if they wanted to, as long as Ye Xiaotian defeated Qi Mu, it would be much easier to deal with Meng Xiancheng again.
But Wang Ning and Xu Boyi are different, Ye Xiaotian can only use the rules of officialdom if he wants to deal with them, but within the rules of officialdom, it is difficult for the lower officials to defeat the upper officials and then ascend to the top. At best, the worst case scenario is to end up together, because it violates a taboo in the minds of officials: no one likes a subordinate who is guilty of the same offense.
In this struggle, he does not get the "morality" in officialdom, and this "morality" is in officialdom. It is much greater than the moral role and significance in the hearts of the people. At present, the "morality" in this officialdom has not yet fermented and has not played its due role, because their struggle is confined to Huxian County. And he carried the county flower Qingfeng on his head as a banner.
But one day, others will know that Yiqiē is his dominant, and then his resistance will appear. Of course. The rules are meaningless at a certain level, what are the rules? Rules are meant to be broken, but you have to have that strength or you have reached that status to be there.
The concubine of the rich gentry family of the people or the concubine of the official family, who dares to provoke the house fight and challenge the housewife? This kind of thing is extremely rare, and if there are so many cases in the huge world, it will immediately be qualified to be recorded in history as a strange story.
Why? Because of the patriarchal society for thousands of years, for the stability of the family and the family, a very strict family system has been formed, and it is impossible to be a concubine. Not to mention that most of the mother's families who are wives have a status similar to that of their husbands, even if they are bad wives, they will be protected by the whole society.
The wife is determined by the order of the husband's parents, while the concubine is completely determined by the husband's preference, from which the most obvious difference between the wife and the concubine can be seen. As the saying goes, "a wife is not as good as a concubine" does not refer to the difference in status, but to the favor in the husband's heart.
It is almost inevitable to favor concubines, but it is almost impossible to favor concubines and suppress the lord. A concubine dares to bully his wife, according to the patriarchal system and the legal system, it is not a crime for a wife to beat her to death, but which concubine dares to kill her wife with a cane? Even her husband didn't dare, this is an ethical matter.
If there is really any concubine who dreams of overpowering the main wife and replacing her, even if the main wife's maiden family is ruined, and she is weak and bullied, it is useless, because there are in-laws above the main wife, and the in-laws do not agree, can you become a main wife? There is a clan behind the in-laws, a concubine does not have any social resources, just a woman who entertains her husband with lust, you can make your in-laws happy with clever words, how can you persuade the entire clan to agree? Unless the wife is perverse, she has already provoked the anger of the heavens.
Even if you pass these steps safely, there is still the government behind you, and if you change your wife with a concubine, the government will intervene, because it is illegal! Even if you can settle the official government, there is still a huge amount of social public opinion pressure outside the official government, if any concubine has the ability to settle all this, then there is no need for her to be a concubine.
But once this relationship rises to the royal family, it is possible, because the successful result is to become the queen of the main palace of the motherly world, and there are no more in-laws, clans, and legal issues that can bind her in her head. This is the reason why power is as great as a certain degree or status as high as a certain degree of dù can break the rules.
Of course, Xiaoxiao Huxian is not up to the standard of the royal family, and there are still thirty-three heavens on its head, so the dispute between Ye Xiaotian and Xu Boyi and Wang Ning is, in the eyes of many people, a challenge to his wife by a concubine who has lost her mind.
Ye Xiaotian's fanatical fan, the old Lu Tou who swept the floor in the county government, did not believe in evil, he firmly believed that Ye Daguan would definitely be able to win, and even Qi Mu and Meng Qingwei and other arrogant people who covered the sky with one hand were defeated, what else could Ye Daguan can't do.
Zhou Bantou was more sensible, he didn't believe that Ye Xiaotian could defeat Xu Boyi and Wang Ning, the best situation was probably to achieve a balance, but the biggest possibility was ...... Fail! But he and Ma Hui, Xu Haoran and others still followed Ye Xiaotian without hesitation, without him, the one who is a confidant dies!
Su Xuntian also didn't believe that Ye Xiaotian could defeat Xu Boyi, especially when Xu Boyi and Wang Ning joined forces, but he also had to stand on Ye Xiaotian's side, in addition to his friendship and trust with Ye Xiaotian, but also because his interests were tied to his brother-in-law. And Ye Xiaotian is his brother-in-law's only hope.
Ye Xiaotian will not be presumptuous, his idea is to defeat Xu Boyi, the "main wife", and Wang Ning, the "second aunt", if possible, even Hua Qingfeng's wretched husband He has to step on it, be the master of the house, and be "Wu Zetian!" ”
His ambition is not only to defeat Xu Boyi and be the behind-the-scenes master of Huxian County, he must continue to climb, at least to be a six-grade official. Marry Yingying through the door. He already has Ning'er and Doni, and because of this, he has to meet the requirements of the Xia family and welcome Yingying openly in order to make up for his debt to Yingying.
He will not use the network resources formed by his trip to Jinling lightly, and he will be thin once he uses favors, but this does not mean that he will never use them. He didn't use Jinling's connections because good steel was to be used on the blade to deal with Wang Ning and Xu Boyi. It's not worth his hole cards.
Ye Xiaotian's combination of punches after returning to Huxian seemed to beat Xu Boyi to the point that he had no power to fight back, in fact, Xu Boyi was unable to fight back even if he was prepared, because his biggest support was that Hua Qingfeng did not dare to stand up. But Hua Qingfeng "stands" out!
Ye Xiaotian has someone in his hand, Hua Qingfeng has a name in his hand, and as soon as the two are combined, Xu Boyi has no fight. Because there are countless higher levels above them. There is also a set of corresponding rules pressed there.
In the eyes of Wang Ning and Xu Boyi, Ye Xiaotian is a concubine who wants to seize power, but the problem now is. Their wives are seizing the power of their husbands, and their husbands are teaming up with their concubines to seize back his rightful power, so Xu Boyi and Wang Ning also can't borrow higher-level rules to counter each other.
At present, it seems that Ye Xiaotian has the upper hand, and they have no power to fight back. Huazhi County personally went to sit on the post road, and every day the wind and rain were blowing, and in the dust, Huazhi County worked tirelessly, running back and forth, dealing with the problems that appeared in a qiē, and ensuring the smoothness of the post road.
Chang Zizai and Xie Chuanfeng's carriage and horse shop were strongly suppressed by Ye Xiaotian, and when the military transportation needed to use the help of the carriage and horse shop, this fat difference was naturally handed over to the "Luo Li Gao Carriage and Horse Company", and the businessmen were hunting dogs with a keen sense of smell, and after perceiving the change of power in Huxian, they also tried their best to take care of the business of "Luo Li Gao Carriage and Horse Company", unless they couldn't eat such a large cargo throughput, then I'm sorry, the business didn't wait for anyone, so I had to go to Chang Zizi and Xie Chuanfeng, in this way, can also maintain a friendship with Chang Zizi and Xie Chuanfeng, and once their backstage makes a comeback, it will be good to pull the relationship again.
Gao Ya and Li Bohao, two Xiucai who have dreamed of being swordsmen since childhood, are obviously not that kind of material, although Luo Daheng is a genius in business, but there are different types of business, and he is obviously not good at the transportation industry, at least he has to give him a familiar and understanding process.
But his current industry is in full swing, involving a lot of energy, and he has to find time to fight wits and courage with him, so he really can't take care of it so much, so Luo Daheng divided Sun Weixuan into two percent of the cadre shares and appointed him as the big boss of Luo Li Gao's carriage and horse company.
Gao Ya and Li Bohao don't have to work hard to have a large amount of dividends, of course, they are happy, and the tycoon can also free up more time to take care of the gradually pregnant Niuniu. Sun Weixuan lived up to expectations, and after getting two percent of the dry shares and becoming one of the owners, he devoted all his efforts to the car and horse dealership, and took care of the business of the car and horse dealership prosperously.
Everyone has a suitable place for him, the post road is undoubtedly the most suitable place for Sun Weixuan to survive, Ye Xiaotian wants to rise step by step, he must have his own set of team, this team is not only limited to officialdom, Sun Weixuan, who is excellent, has also entered his sight, and Ye Xiaotian began to cultivate him intentionally.
Of course, Xu Boyi was not willing to fail, but it was enough to do the trick of creating obstacles for Hua Qingfeng once, he originally hoped to make Hua Qingfeng retreat from the difficulty, since Hua Qingfeng did not retreat, although he had more drastic means, he threw himself into a trap.
Now although the post road affairs have been taken over by Hua Qingfeng, he already has a share of the credit, and because of his "withdrawal", as long as the war in Yunnan is unfavorable and someone wants to find a military supply, then Huazhi County has to top the tank, but if it is a big victory, the reward for meritorious deeds is indispensable for him and the king's book.
Therefore, he did not really want to destroy the post road, and the military supplies could not be transported. In this way, the key to his reversal of the battle and even his decisive victory can only be placed on the matter of changing his surname. This is his "killer feature", and the killer feature has reached the time when it has to come out!
