Chapter 3: Shaw
Without her mother's family, who cares if a little businesswoman who marries into the Hou Mansion is dead or alive?
In fact, someone secretly killed an undesirable daughter-in-law.
And then they marry a new daughter-in-law for their sons, and there are also them.
The hapless woman died when she died, and she was sent away in a thin-skinned coffin.
This is also the reason why the people of the Hou Mansion are acting as white-eyed wolves and don't care about the life or death of the original owner.
In short, women are a vine in a patriarchal society, basically dependent on men to live.
In the hearts of all, a woman is rubble and clothes.
The cost of replacement is not high, and I don't care.
From the bottom of their hearts, everyone in the Hou Mansion looked down on the original owner.
If it was the original owner, he had to endure it.
There is a long road ahead, so be careful.
She didn't get any more education, so she had to stay up.
But Yu Ying came over, but she didn't always plan to live such a humiliating life.
She looked at Uncle Qi and said with a smile, "Uncle Qi, I don't plan to turn my face now, I just want to keep accounts." ”
After hearing this, the seventh uncle felt very uncomfortable.
Yingniang has no brothers.
If there is an eldest brother-in-law or a younger brother-in-law.
How can it not be looked down upon so lowly.
But the old owner and his wife did not keep their first child when they were young.
Since then, I have been childless.
The husband and wife burned incense everywhere to worship the Buddha.
When he was in his thirties, he had a little master.
But they all left early, and they were unable to protect their daughters.
Ay!
Uncle Qi sighed.
How can I protect my little master?
He is a rough man, and he has no bottom in his heart.
Yu Ying understood very well what Uncle Qi was worried about.
Lowering her eyes, she sent Ah Yi to check the household registration system.
Fortunately, in this feudal society, in addition to normal, there are also female households.
Otherwise, after the woman is reconciled and separated, if there is no mother's family to accept it, she will become a black household.
This made Yu Ying breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, there were female households.
If you become a black household, it means that you are a homeless person.
Someone else can arrest and sell the homeless in a minute! Anyway, you are a black household.
If this is the case, Yu Ying thinks that if she can't do it, she will dress up as a man, and she must have her own household registration.
After waiting for a while, Yu Ying didn't intend to wait for Uncle Qi to speak, so she asked, "Uncle Qi, did my father give the Hou Mansion a large sum of money so that they could settle the money owed to the treasury?"
She raised her head and looked at Uncle Qi, looking at Hai Ye's henchmen.
This sentence made Uncle Qi startled and looked at the little master in front of him.
He looked at Yu Ying with wide eyes, a little unbelieving his eyes.
The little master, she has really changed too much, and she is like two people in her memory.
But after thinking about what she had been through, he was somewhat relieved that the child had grown up.
"You have changed a lot, too, your father and mother are great people. ”
"Looks like I guessed right. Yu Ying said.
"Uncle Qi, if a person walks through the ghost gate once, he will be much sober, and he will want a lot for his own life. ”
Yu Ying's words made Uncle Qi's heart ache all of a sudden, and he was more happy.
His eyes were a little sour, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"If the old master and his wife knew that you had suffered so much, they should be distressed again. ”
"Back then, it was really difficult for Hai Ye to choose an uncle with all four corners, and later, you were not small, and you haven't found it yet. ”
"Is that right? So when my father married me to the Hou Mansion, he must have thought about it before he finally made the decision, right?" Yu Ying looked at Qibo and said.
The reason why she asked like this is because in the memory of the original owner, her father has always loved her very much, not like a person who pits his daughter.
In Hai's father's heart, the original owner is not only his daughter, but also the woman he loves the most.
In the Hai family, the original owner is a little lady who is loved by everyone, and she lives very happily.
In her life, before she got married, it was basically all sweet.
When her mother died, she was still young and didn't have much of an impression.
Even if there was a moment of great pain, I forgot it.
The Hai family unanimously held her in the palm of their hands.
Let her temperament be very kind.
It's also very generous.
It's a silly white sweet who always thinks about people for good.
After marrying into the Hou Mansion, he suffered a lot of losses.
Only then did I gradually understand that someone was calculating her.
It's just that she hasn't learned how to marry someone else.
is angry and quarrelsome, and has no ability to scold, can only be a scolding bastard.
In Yu Ying's view, girls who grew up in this way of training.
It's not good, it's too white and immaculate.
Life isn't always sweet.
Bitter places, more more.
is too stupid and sweet, and in the end, it may bitter itself, and it will also harm future generations.
Sure enough, after arriving at the Hou Mansion, he suffered a lot.
contributed money and efforts, but the benefits were all taken away by the concubine.
The original owner didn't understand why those people looked like they were on top.
Although she has also learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is not proficient in etiquette, but Yu Ying understands the Tao.
The reason why those female owners of the Hou Mansion look down on the original owner is for two reasons: one is that the original owner is a merchant girl, and the other is the identity of the stepfamily.
The concubine who was born as a businesswoman, no matter how you look at it, is a drop price.
There is also a steproom, which the noble girl is unwilling to be, and it is said that in front of the original partner, the steproom is to perform a concubine ceremony.
The concubines of the Hou Mansion felt that they were from an official family, and they were still the original match of the Eight Classics, which was much higher than the continuation of the big house.
You must know that after you die in the future, only the original partner can be buried with her husband.
As for the steproom, it is not possible.
The original owner didn't know that she thought she was married in with three media and six certificates.
is the legal wife of the marquis.
I didn't expect to be treated with all kinds of disdains.
I don't know the rules of the big family, so I have to endure it everywhere.
But after those concubines fought with the original owner, they could see what kind of person the original owner was, plus the Hou Ye's indifference.
Naturally, it is to intensify the suppression of the original owner.
Fortunately, the original owner was more big-hearted, so he was not squeezed to death.
After figuring out the whole situation, Yu Ying will be ready to act.
After Yu Ying asked, Uncle Qi kept looking at Yu Yinghou, because he suddenly had a feeling of seeing Hai Ye.
There is a kind of calmness in her that grasps the general situation and prepares for action.
This feeling is getting stronger and stronger.
As he spoke, he unconsciously sat up straight.
"Yes, the old master has been running a maritime business for many years, and I don't know how much suffering he has suffered. ”
Later, his body and bones were not very good, but the Hai family was rich and well-known. ”
Having said this, he paused, Hai Ye was really a rich man at that time.
But what Yu Ying thought was that this was a big piece of fat.
Everybody wants to swallow it.
"And the little master doesn't have a brother, and even the Hai family has no other relatives, so the old master naturally wants to find you a reliable one. ”
"There are also maritime merchants who want to ask for kisses, but the old master does not agree to this kind of marriage, he doesn't want you to worry about your husband wandering at sea every day, maybe one day you won't be able to come back. ”
Yu Ying nodded after hearing this.
The original owner's mother was worried about this problem all year round.
Too many maritime merchants never returned, leaving orphans and widows at home.
As long as her husband goes to sea, she will be vegetarian, just to make a wish for her husband to return safely.
Her husband floats on the sea all the year round, and it will take more than a year to go, and after a long time, she can't bear it, and finally burns her body.
Before she died, she told her husband that she hoped that her daughter would not marry a maritime merchant again, and that she would live in peace.
Hai Ye tearfully agreed to his wife's request, he felt sorry for his wife, because he had to go to sea to make his beloved wife live badly.
After his wife died, he ran at sea for a few more years, and Hai Ye finally slowly gave up and had the opportunity to quit that line.
At this time, he found that his daughter had reached the age of looking for her mother-in-law, and he began to look for her son-in-law.
It's just that the Hai family is a maritime businessman, and the most suitable marriage partner is naturally a maritime businessman.
If the wife does not let her daughter marry into that kind of family, there are fewer people to marry.
"Hai Ye later wanted to marry the little master to the scholar, so that he could have money to supply, maybe he would be admitted to the Jinshi, and the little master could become an official wife. Uncle Qi said.
When Yu Ying heard this, she nodded, this is indeed a possibility.
Uncle Qi continued: "But the old master also knows that some scholars essentially look down on merchants, and once they squeeze the Hai family's property, then the little master will be in danger. ”
Speaking of this, Uncle Qi remembered Hai Ye's words.
Hai Ye said that he found that his daughter was raised and did not know that people's hearts were dangerous, and now it is too late to change it, and it can't be changed.
There are a lot of people who can be officials, and he is afraid that his daughter will be injured.
This option for scholars was slapped away.
When Uncle Qi said this reason, Yu Ying thought about it for a while and could accept it.
I've seen too much of the kind of scholar who gets promoted and gets rich and changes his wife, so Father Hai's thoughts are very real.
And according to Yu Ying's observation, it is impossible to marry into a farmer's family.
The original owner's food and drink were too expensive to spend, and the farmer couldn't afford to support it.
Although the so-called agriculture refers to the landlord who has land.
And not the so-called sharecroppers.
But landlords, especially landowners.
There is no ability to protect the original owner at all.
Thinking about it, the scope of the original owner's marriage has become very narrow.
"Also, the old master also knows that the richer the businessman, the more dangerous it is, and the Hai family has no backstage, but only has the face of the Hai Ye to support it. ”
"But Hai Ye knows that if he dies later, it will be cold when people leave tea, and he will always choose a family with a backstage for the little master, so that you can worry about it. ”
It happened that the Hou Mansion in Zhennan was in urgent need of money and wanted to remarry a wife with a good dowry, so he found the old master, who thought about it again and again, and finally reached an agreement with the Hou Mansion. ”
When Uncle Qi spoke, he kept paying attention to Yu Ying's expression.
He was afraid that the little master would not understand the old master's thoughts and misunderstand the old master.
Looking at it now, the expression on Yu Ying's face was calm, and there was no anger.
After reading it, the seventh uncle was happy in his heart, and the old master would be very happy if he knew about it.
Uncle Qi made up for it on his own at this time, and felt that the little master had grown up rapidly after life and death.
I didn't think of changing the core inside at all, and I thought it was the relationship between the blood, which made the little master become powerful.
Hai and his wife are both shrewd and capable people, but they didn't raise their daughter to that.
After the death of his wife, Father Hai has always wanted to cultivate a lady.
On the contrary, the education of people's hearts and human nature is insufficient.
"What agreement was reached?, and does my father have any empirical evidence?" Yu Ying asked.
That's a big problem.
After all, only empirical evidence can count.
The seventh uncle said: "Before the old master left, he said that if the little master had to ask, he would tell you: Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. ”
When Yu Ying heard it, she felt so familiar.
Isn't this something left behind by the Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng?
Could it be that something is hidden in the temple?
It's not possible, there are really a lot of temples in the world, where to check?
Could it be hidden in a temple in the original owner's hometown?
Yu Ying didn't say anything for a while, she wanted to think about it.
Even in the temple, the place is not small.
Do you want her to send someone to search the temple little by little?
This is unlikely.
Because those monks couldn't have made her do it.
"By the way, Uncle Qi, my father is more familiar with that master?" asked Yu Ying.
"No, the old master doesn't have any friends, especially the people who release the door, and even more so. ”
Then Yu Ying dispelled the possibility that what the original owner's father left behind might be hidden in the old monk.
"Uncle Qi, I know, I'll check it slowly. ”
"Okay! I'll stay in the capital and look for me if there's anything. ”
"Uncle Qi, this time you can play in the capital, I will definitely go to Uncle Qi if I have something." ”
After letting the seventh uncle go down to rest, Yu Ying thought for a while.
Decide to do it slowly, and some things must be found slowly.
She is not in a hurry and has time.
In fact, after checking the people of the Hou Mansion, Ah Yi and they found outside.
During this time, the original owner's husband, Marquis Jin, has always been a little distracted.
Many things can be regarded as having a general outline, and the cause of the original owner's death also points to that person.
Yu Ying has found out that his ex-wife Xiao has returned to the capital some time ago.
Hehe, the original owner probably didn't know what kind of person his husband's predecessor was.
Yu Ying knew because she had checked.
Speaking of which, they are a loving couple.
The trick is that the people of both families borrowed money from the treasury.
But when I met the emperor, I found that his treasury was empty.
Can't even pay the normal fees.
had to send someone to collect the debt.
In order to put a strain on those who borrow.
The emperor also stipulated that those who did not return it after half a year would be severely punished.
As soon as this decree was made, the borrowers were crying out.
How else would they borrow money?
This trend also spread to the Hou Mansion in Zhennan.
made the Hou Ye and his wife have to reconcile.
Because a large part of the dowry of that ex-wife was due to borrowing from the treasury.
In order to repay the debt, the woman's family had to prepare to sell the dowry of the married daughter and then repay the money from the state treasury.
Otherwise, the family will be removed from their official positions.
Or a sentence.
If the Hou Mansion in Zhennan has money, he can help his ex-wife Xiao repay the money.
But the town of Nanhou Mansion also needs to pay back.
There are also people who want to beat the woman's dowry idea.
In this case, in the end, the two people had to reconcile.
Discord is inseparable.
Tensions have reached the point of saber-rattling in both families.
Everyone wants to fill the hole with the dowry.
Shaw is in a dilemma.
She didn't know what to do?
On the one hand, she is a loving husband and a son in her heart, and on the other hand, her mother's family who has paid a lot for her.
In the end, the sister-in-law came to the door and said that if the sister-in-law did not return the dowry, she would hang herself in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan with her children.
Anyway, the two in-laws are already lying in bed.
Let the Xiao family perish.
As for the sister-in-law.
They don't want the Xiao family.
Moreover, the sister-in-law pointed out that the hole in the Hou Mansion in Zhennan was too big, and even the Xiao family's dowry was not enough.
On the contrary, as long as the Xiao family gets back the dowry of the sister-in-law, plus sells some family property, the Xiao family can turn the corner.
When Xiao heard this, he finally had to propose peace and leave the Hou Mansion with the dowry.
Hou Ye was originally unwilling.
But the Hou Mansion has no money.
If you don't find a God of Wealth, the Hou Mansion will be finished.
As a noble son, Marquis Jin understands very well what the Hou Mansion means.
If there is no Hou Mansion.
Then the Jin family will soon become the most ordinary family.
In the end, the ruler of the Hou Mansion, Marquis Jin, had to succumb to reality.
