1366th: The Tea Party of the Ladies (9)

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Jiang Pengji has always been a non-mainstream protagonist.

If it was another protagonist, as long as it wasn't such a big event as the sky falling, it would usually be left to deal with it after the Chinese New Year.

She didn't want to, but wanted the other party's family to have a happy New Year's Eve.

On the first day of the new year, early in the morning.

Jiang Pengji sent envoys to the door and reprimanded them from door to door, and the whole Xiangyang County knew about it.

Almost every family that has been reprimanded has a similar scenario, men and women, young and old, weeping into a group of grievances.

This is the first melon in the new year, so that the audience who eat melons can watch it with great interest, and watch the excitement so much that they forget to eat.

"...My son is loyal to Lord Lanting and has done a lot of merit. How can taking three or five concubines be disregarding etiquette and transgressing the rules?" Looking at the messenger, he said, "It's clearly my daughter-in-law.

The stomach is not up to date, and the son I gave birth to is a fake man who cannot pass on the family line. In desperation, I forced my son to take a concubine. "

The old woman took the concubine's pot to herself, and poured sewage on her daughter-in-law to make a fuss.

The envoy rolled his eyes secretly, he took people away to two families, almost all the plots are like this, can there be something new?

"Old madam, let me ask you a question, how old is your son this year?"

The old lady said, "My son is thirty-three this year."

The messenger said, "Old lady, let me ask again, is there someone in your son's ancestors who made him a king?"

The old lady blushed and said, "My ancestors farmed for generations, and Gaozu's generation became rich, and my ancestors were not so distinguished."

"No one in the ancestors was named a king or worshiped a minister, and they have been farming for generations until they became rich in recent generations. Isn't that the family of ordinary people with a little savings? Li

There is a saying in the law that ordinary people are one husband and one wife! What qualifications does the son have to be a concubine? "The envoy retorted coldly, "You said that your son has done a lot of meritorious deeds, but how can he be ennobled and worshiped now?" If you are successful and awarded, you have to prepare eight concubines! The son's contribution is meager, but there are more than eight concubines in the backyard! "

After the old lady heard this, her eyes widened in fright.

She faltered and said, "This, this...the old lady doesn't know about this..."

Insufficient status, insufficient credit, not qualified to take concubines.

The envoy sneered again, "I sent people to investigate earlier, and found that the old lady was not strict in running the family and had no way to teach her children. Is it true that a concubine is a wife?"

Even if there is no need to investigate, just the old lady's act of slapping her daughter-in-law without saying a word is enough to explain the problem.

How dare the old lady admit it?

The head shook like a rattle.

She cried and lay on the ground, and said, "These things are all done by the old woman's lard, and my son didn't do it voluntarily!"

The messenger's eyes were full of indifference, and he snorted softly.

He waved his hand and planned to go to the next one.

"Messenger wait a moment!"

The old woman was still crying, but her son was not a person who could only cry. He hurriedly pulled the messenger aside, and secretly stuffed two money bags under the cover of his wide sleeves. Both money pouches are bulging, and they weigh a lot. As soon as the envoy weighed it, he knew it in his heart.

He accepted the man's bribe, and the man's face was filled with joy, feeling that something was going on.

"Messenger, please speak kindly to Lord Lanting about this matter." The man said calmly, "To tell you the truth, these women in the backyard are not concubines, they are all actors and prostitutes I bought from outside and raised in my house. Sing music to the family in the backyard to relieve boredom—"

Overstepping the rules is much more serious than favoring concubines and destroying wives. At the least, it will affect the official career, and if it is serious, it may harm the whole family.

However, if these women were not concubines but actors and prostitutes he raised, then that would be a different matter.

After hearing this, the envoy felt a little cold in his heart.

This man is also ruthless, as far as the messenger knows, the woman who is pregnant and about to give birth is his cousin! In order to protect his official career and future, he directly classified his pregnant cousin and other serious concubines as actors and prostitutes who bought and sold at will!

Taking concubines beyond the limit is a disaster,

But keeping players and whores is no big deal.

Before the troubled times, it was still the fashion for many wealthy and powerful families to play tricks, which was not an indecent affair.

"In that case, it's probably a misunderstanding. You can prove your innocence by showing their identity documents." The messenger sneered in his heart, but pointed the man with a concerned look on his face, "It's getting late, I should Go to the next one, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with business."

The man sends the envoy respectfully.

The messenger left with a smile, until he left Chang'an Lane, he gave a disgusted bah and spit.

He said angrily, "I've never seen such a shameless man—you want to buy my life with such a small amount of money?"

After running four or five houses in one morning, the messenger took a box of "trophies" to the business.

Not only his journey, but the other envoys also "returned with full rewards".

"Tsk tsk, what a fat job."

Yang Si raised his hand and twirled his beard, and looked at the boxes one by one, all of which were bribes.

Some are filled with heavy gold and silver, and some are expensive jewelry bracelets, any one of which can lift the people out of poverty and become rich.

The messenger cupped his hands with a wry smile and said, "Mr. Yang, don't be intimidating. How can the last generals dare to get their hands on such dirty money?"

This is related to the future, and no one will give up a good life just for a little sweetness.

"Look at you timid ones, just know how to be afraid. My lord hates corruption and bribery the most." Yang Si was in a very good mood and spoke very gently, he said, "My lord has always been very clear about rewards and punishments. You have made meritorious service today. After running around so many houses, there must be rewards. 80% of these things will be confiscated, and the remaining 20% ​​will be distributed, and the right will be the lucky red seal given by the lord in the spring of this year."

Whoops——

What a surprise!

Several envoys showed joy, even if it was only 20%, it would be a lot of extra income if they got it.

The messenger hesitated and said, "Mr. Yang, there is an event at the end... I'm a little worried, those people won't really forge the deeds, right?"

Some of the women serving in the backyard of those people are serious concubines, and some are Tongfang who enjoy the substantive treatment of concubines. Except for their status, they are no different from concubines, and many of them are pregnant. Generally speaking, almost all of them are from good families with innocent backgrounds.

If the identity deed is forged, then it is from a good nationality to a low nationality, and it is still a low nationality that can be bought and sold at will and allowed to be abused by others!

"So what?" Yang Sibo said coldly, "The more ruthless they do, the better, and it's best to be so ruthless that they will be infamous for thousands of years."

Art source life is higher than life.

These people don't want to die, what did Wei Ci use as material for writing?

At the same time, the house in Chang'an Lane is also staged a drama of chicken and dog jumping.

Several concubines were forced to be imprisoned, even if they cried and begged, not only failed to make the pillow soft, but in exchange for a few ruthless 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……"

The old woman slapped the table angrily, and said angrily, "You are more important than my son's future? If we don't get over this difficulty, our family will become the laughing stock of the neighbors, and my son's career will be over. You have been sensible since childhood , why are you so disobedient now!"
