Yu cried heartbreakingly, Old Man Song annoyed her to cry the most in the past, often she was impatient to deal with her as soon as she spilled, but this time Old Man Song was hard-hearted. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He no longer reprimanded the Yu family strongly, but said lightly: "It's okay not to record Wulang in the Cui family's name, if you miss Wulang's future, you don't have to cry another day." ”
Yu's crying stopped abruptly, she didn't really understand the difference between concubines and concubines, and the countryside didn't pay attention to these. But after she came to the Song family, after all, she had also been with the Cui family for more than ten years. Cui's is a big girl from a big family, and everyone says that they would rather marry a maid than a small girl, but in fact, because of what they see and know, they are often much better than the women of small families in terms of rules and knowledge.
Cui's is a person with the best rules, needless to say, her appearance and temperament need not be said, and her behavior in the past is also polite and modest. Yu used to squeeze Cui's by shrew, but in fact, from the bottom of her heart, she was extremely envious of Cui's, envious and even jealous.
It is precisely because of this that the Yu family pays great attention to everything about the Cui family.
Cui's personality is soft and kind, and she is often a little helpless in the face of Yu's unreasonable shrew style, but in fact, the eldest woman in her bones is full of dignity. The Yu family has been with her for more than ten years, and it is one thing to hate the Cui family, but on the other hand, in her subconscious, where she herself refuses to admit it, she actually does not feel that the Cui family is countless times more noble than herself.
At this time, Old Man Song changed his tone and only mentioned Song Wulang's future, but Yu was frightened by Old Man Song's understatement. She was terrified and dazed, and for a moment she doubted herself. Could it be that compared to being his own son, Gorou can indeed have a better future as the son of the Cui family?
She shut up, and her whole body felt as if she was half dead, painful and dazed. obviously felt unwilling and wanted to refute it again, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't spit out a word.
Yu was finally helped away by Song Dalang in a daze.
Jiang Huijia witnessed everything from the sidelines, although she felt that it was a pleasant thing for the Yu family to be deflated, but she could see the power of this clan's etiquette with her own eyes, saw the voice of the old man Song, and saw the powerlessness of the Yu family in this matter, she still couldn't help but feel a sense of anger in her heart.
She did not sympathize with the Yu family, but through the Yu family, she deeply realized the low status of women in the Dajing Dynasty, when feudal etiquette dominated social rules. is also a woman, so she naturally inevitably thinks a little more.
How arrogant and domineering the Yu family was in the past, even Old Man Song gave her a few more points. But once this was on a formal occasion, the Yu family didn't even have the right to keep his own son born to him in terms of law and etiquette!
Of course, this also reflects from another aspect, how big the gap is between the original match and the filling of the house.
But soon, Jiang Huijia knew that it was not that the gap between the original match and the filling of the house was too big, but that the gap between the wife and the concubine was too big. The real three-media-six-hired open-minded marriage is also a wife, except for the concubine ceremony to the original tablet during the sacrifice, the rest of the aspects, whether in power or status, are not much different from the original match. But the Yu family is different, she was only carried into the Song family as a concubine, even if she was later declared to be corrected, but this concubine is corrected, can it be the same as the one who married back seriously?
Yu was helped out by Song Dalang, and Old Man Song asked the rest of the people to quit as well, but Song Baishan, Song Yi, and Jiang Huijia were left alone. Of course, several Witnesses remained.
Old Man Song said: "Although the two of San Lang and his wife are not divided into family property, they are still the Song family. After this separation, where they will move, when they will move, how they will move, and how Jiang's dowry will be counted, these all need to be discussed. ”
It can be regarded as explaining to the rest of the Song family why Song Yi and his wife were left alone with Song Baishan.
When the rest of the people went out, Old Man Song only said: "Hui Niang's dowry is Hui Niang's private property, of course, it was all taken away by Hui Niang, there is no doubt about this matter, there is no need to discuss it." In addition, on the day of moving, you should also invite your in-laws to witness and count Hui Niang's dowry. ”
These are all as they should be, and everyone nodded their heads.
Old Man Song said: "I have long been optimistic about the day of moving, so in three days, it is suitable for the sacrificial stove to move." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Lizheng and said, "There is a five-room courtyard on the edge of the peach forest in the east of the village, I heard that it was originally owned by the Wu family, and it has been five years since their family moved away, and the title deed of this house should have been returned to the village long ago, right?"
Zhou Lizheng said: "Yes, at that time, their fields were sold, but the yard was built a little remotely, and those who had spare money in the village had houses, and those who didn't have spare money couldn't afford to buy them." The house was taken back to the village, and the title deed was there. ”
In the countryside, the locals don't pay attention to the house deed, only the land deed. Because according to the system of the Great Jing Dynasty, all peasants with proper household registration had to receive tax land from the countryside. The tax land was not owned by the peasants themselves, but was cultivated by the peasants, and then the heavy taxes were returned to the imperial court. The imperial court distributed homesteads to tax growers.
Anyone who has tax land can get a local homestead free of charge.
But this free homestead came with the tax field, like the situation of the Wu family, they moved out of Qingshan Village with their family, and the tax land was returned to the village, so their homestead should also be returned to the village. As soon as the homestead was returned, even the house they built at their own expense did not belong to them.
Zhou Lizheng asked Song Yi: "San Lang wants to set up a separate household registration, and the theory is also to divide the tax field, but your situation is different, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to cultivate the tax field." Now there are two plans, one is to share the tax land, and naturally, the Wu family's house can also be divided among you. On the other hand, the two of you do not share the tax land, and the house also needs to be purchased with money. But the house you bought can have a title deed and a house deed, and as long as the two deeds are still in the future, and the government is in the file, the house and the land can be regarded as your family's permanent property. What about Saburo?"
said, and added: "It's just that if you don't divide the tax field, you need to pay another tax every year, and according to the calculation of your family's two members, you need to pay 800 yuan a year." ”
Zhou Lizheng said it in detail, and it was the first time for Jiang Huijia to hear such a statement, and she was suddenly shocked. The taxes of the Great Jing Dynasty turned out to be so heavy, the two of them became a family, regardless of the tax field, and they had to pay 800 yuan in taxes a year!
Don't look at her spending money like water in recent days, it seems that 800 wen is nothing, but in fact, compared to ordinary peasant families, 800 wen is a lot.
In addition, in the Dajing Dynasty, tax land was different from peasants' private land, and most peasants rarely had private land, and even if they did, it was often only a few acres or a dozen acres.
A family like the old Song family that can have 50 acres of private land is rare among ordinary peasants. The Song family should have been a wealthy family, but they just had to support the scholars, which made it difficult for the family.
But Song Yi split up this time, but he never got a share of private land. His situation should have been much harder, and Zhou Li was waiting for him to decide what to do next.
