Chapter 174: Parting is Approaching
After listening to Sandalwood's narration, Qin Wan was a little surprised: "Serving in the study? β
As soon as the words came out, she realized the essence of "serving", and couldn't help frowning, but her expression was a little ironic...... For more up-to-date chapters, visit wèn:.
The position is as high as Qin Ke and Shen Huai, self-holding is like Zhao Su and Xiao Yu, cautious as Wu Li, the long history of the palace, heroic as Sima Yuwenshan of the palace, and as romantic as Pei Xi, all of them are masters who are not short of 'women', but no one allows their 'women' to enter the outer courtyard, especially the study. Qin Wan was able to come and go freely in the outer study of the Dai Wang's Mansion, thanks to Qin Ke's indulgence of the 'girl' and didn't care about her at all, but Shen Man rarely entered the outer study. It's not that you don't want to, but the world is like this, although there are no clear rules, but if you really want to do it, it is out of line.
Man, it's ridiculous, setting rules and regulations to bind 'women', but they want to give privileges themselves. The original wife who reads poetry and books and knows etiquette is not qualified to enter the study, but the 'woman' can serve in the study and have a *** fragrance night to read. Even if he knew that they were just gentle things for men, Qin Wan felt that things in this world were really a bit ridiculous.
In the final analysis, rights are important, but they ...... Qin Wan waved his hand and let Sandalwood go down, and then he sighed to Qin Wan: "With the concubine being favored Cheng DΓΉ to determine the stewardship, is this the case in the powerful families in the capital?" β
"It's not all, it's almost the same." Pei Xi said lightly, "The minions in the hands of the body deed naturally promote whoever they want, and sit back and watch them fight for some petty profits." β
Qin Wan nodded, thoughtfully, and only after a long time did he sigh: "Fortunately, Taizu has set a method of following the mother, and the concubines are also inferior, and they will also affect the future of their children and grandchildren." If, as in the previous dynasty, the 'female' slaves and maids could be concubines, and the concubines could also share part of the family property and even become officials, the struggle between the housewife and the aunt who gave birth to the family could be seen. Speaking of which, how are those maidservants 'women' who have been accepted and used by the master's family generally disposed of? β
Pei Xi understood Qin Wan's intentions, and said in his heart that these things should have been taught by Shen Man...... Forget it, it doesn't hurt for him to say it in advance, 'women' have 'women' twists and turns, and men also have men's ideas, and they may not be able to get to the same string: "It depends on the person, some people don't like their 'women' to be used by others, and they can eat and drink well for a lifetime; β
"With a ...... Charge? Qin Wan's expression was a little strange, "Aren't all stewards worthy of being the handmaidens by the side of the housewife?" "There is no doubt that this point was taught by Shen Man and all the mothers, telling her that the new daughter-in-law's 'woman' must gain a firm foothold in her in-law's family, and naturally she must match her confidant to the competent steward of her mother-in-law's family, so that she can let go.
Pei Xi sneered: "The son of a big family naturally has a set of exquisite skills, so as not to attract the jealousy of the housewife, unless the other party is as narrow-minded as Dai Zhou's and cannot tolerate people." The master who can give the 'woman' who has been used by himself to the master in charge usually has some human feelings, how to say that there are also one or two points of affection, and can be remembered by the head of the family. The housewife also needs to rely on these people to help her son in the outer courtyard, and she is not competing with her sons and daughters for the family business, why can't she tolerate it? Besides, who of these big family stewards doesn't have a house outside and doesn't live a prosperous life? I suspect that my wife is not a yellow 'flower' boudoir 'girl', so I buy a few good-looking 'women' to serve 'serve'. If you really want me to say, which of these stewards in the outer court is to honor the master mother? Isn't it because the housemother is the mother of the future head of the family, and he doesn't dare to offend, so he will be respectful? β
He said it lightly, but Qin Wan listened to it with relish, and commented: "The small inner house, the sophistication of human feelings is so complicated, and the knowledge is quite large. Come to think of it, people who live by others must always 'spend' more effort on people's hearts. Just like the 'female' son in the majestic imperial city, a lot of time is 'spent' on how to compete for favor and consolidate her position. β
Pei Xi didn't want Qin Wan to be interested in the affairs of the inner house, so he said: "No matter how clever you are, you are still stuck in the world all day long, and your vision is narrower. β
"You're right." Qin Wan nodded, unusually crisp and neat, "I was going to find an opportunity to take a look at Deng Jiang's eldest grandson' and see if it was what I thought, but when I heard you say this, I thought about it." β
"You don't have to look at it, if it's really as we guessed, forget it if it's broken, if it's not broken......" Pei Xi hooked his 'lips', and his 'look' was extremely cold.
The establishment of a family may take decades, several generations of water milling, but the decline of a family may be instantaneous, and this is the case with the Luo family.
Luo Dao, as a 'waiter' of the military department, has received countless filial respects, and he has naturally done things to help his relatives or people who give more gifts to get an official position. He has done such a big job, and there are slaves and foxes who are fake tigers, and there are also some good land shops. If you really want to calculate it, which powerful family in Chang'an doesn't have this kind of? It's all up to the saint to chase after him or not.
Even if the sage has the heart to establish power for the king of Wei, he will not allow anyone to use the king as a raft. What's more, this 'door' marriage was not requested on behalf of the king, and the saint was ashamed in his heart. Even if Qin Wan had nothing to do and taught a few people, the sage would reprimand her a few words at most, and she wouldn't really take it to heart.
In the eyes of the sage, when the marriage decree is given, everyone knows that he belongs to the king of Wei, and the king of Wei has received great benefits, how can he 'shame' his brother for an unreasonable courtier? Besides, the affairs of the Luo family and the Su family have not been skimmed, and Luo Yun even dares to provoke Qin Wan, which shows how disrespectful the Luo family is to the royal family, how can such a person do it?
The Luo family panicked and wanted to ask their in-laws Pei family for help, but as a result, on the day of the 'flower' meeting, Pei Xi and Pei Li "discussed the future of the Pei family" and refused to see the guests. On the second day, Pei Xi returned to the palace of the king, and the Luo family went to the 'door', Pei Li thought of what his son said Pei Yi took refuge in the King of Wei, and Luo Dao also took refuge in the King of Wei, it can be seen that the Luo family did not take this 'door' in-laws to heart at all, and it was completely the style of looking for something and leaving it aside if there was nothing to do, and he felt uncomfortable, so he made a cold face and angrily accused Luo Yun of talking about Pei Xi and Qin Wan, deliberately harming the Luo family, and refusing to help at all.
After this news reached Luoyang, Mrs. Luo fainted directly, and when Luo saw her aunt's appearance, she was shocked and frightened, and she was a little happy, and she became more and more careful to 'serve' the soup and 'medicine'.
Mrs. Luo transformed slowly, and saw that her nephew's 'daughter' and second granddaughter-in-law were respectfully serving herself, and she felt a little ironed in her heart, and when she saw that the eldest granddaughter-in-law's 'woman' was not there, she made a note in her heart, but she was still thinking about her mother's family, so she asked: "Dao'er...... Really exiled? β
For Mrs. Luo, Luo's father and Luo Dao are both her nephews, and the two are no different. Luo Shi has no good impression of this cousin, if you want to get to the bottom of it, it can only be that when she was in her mother's house, Jin Zun' was expensive, and when she arrived in the capital, she needed to rely on her cousin, but the treatment was not as good as her cousin. This is also human nature, who would treat their niece and nephew better than their own daughter? Partial Luo was a little angry, hearing that Luo Dao was exiled, although he was not sad and shocked, his heart was also a little happy, but he pretended to be sad on his face, and pretended to wipe his tears with a handkerchief: "The saint is furiousβ"
When Mrs. Luo heard this, she also knew that the matter was irreparable, and she was very sad, so she took out her anger at her granddaughter-in-law': "What about the Zhen family? The old body is sick, why doesn't she even have a shadow? β
Zhen heard this sentence when he entered the 'door', his steps froze, and he secretly scolded the old witch in his heart and hurt her again, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked to the house to ask Mrs. Luo to say goodbye, and without waiting for Mrs. Luo to scold her head and face, she said: "Mrs. Tai atoned for her sins, and her daughter-in-law just discussed with her husband about the apology to the Luo family, but she missed the time, and her granddaughter-in-law should die!" β
"Apologies? What apology? β
Zhen's mother-in-law and brother-in-law were not pleasing to the eye, and there was no news that she and her husband had been married, so Mrs. Luo ordered the 'woman' to stop the 'medicine', saying that it was insignificant for a maid to give birth to a child, Zhen understood very well, Mrs. Luo just wanted to see who couldn't give birth. She was worried, it was easy for three years to pass, and there was no movement from these handmaidens, and Mrs. Luo was also a little more gentle with the Zhen family, but she was going to marry Pei Xi's niece and nephew, and the first child passed away. It's just a succession, but Mrs. Luo wants to raise the child in her own room and let Luo take care of it, what is the difference between such a succession and not succeeding? Is it that in a few days, you will see that my husband and I are not pleasing to the eye, and directly murder us, so that our beloved second grandson will inherit this family business?
Every time she thought of this, Zhen's heart was angry, but when she thought of what Pei Xi had done, she was happy again, so she pretended to be worried and cautious, but in fact, she was extremely happy to paint the "color" of "Pei Xi protected the county lord of Hailing and convicted Luo Yun".
Before the words were finished, Luo's face turned white, and Mrs. Luo's eyes turned black with anger: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable, call that evil obstacle back to me, I want to teach him a good lesson!" β
When Luo heard that her husband was empathetic and didn't know what it was like, she firmly supported Mrs. Luo's request for Pei Xi to come back - her eldest son had already passed away, and if she wanted to rely on her for life, she had to have another son. If the husband is not there, and he is alone in the empty house, what will he do to give birth to a son?
Zhen only planned to disgust and disgust these two people, but he didn't think about letting Pei Xi come back, and he couldn't help but pouted when he heard this, and said in his heart What is the use of the two of you asking Pei Xi to come back, Lord Lang will agree? But I didn't know that at this time, in the study of Luoyang Ling Pei Jin, Pei Jin was telling his son: "Send a team of people for my father to press Pei Xi back, you disguise yourself and 'mix' in the team." Whether the courtesy of the people below is unreliable or not, and whether you can get the favor of King Wei depends on your own ability. "Yes!" Pei Yi looked at his father with a 'excited' tear, as if he thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Do you really want to bring Pei Xi back?" He is very talented...... "Pei Jin doesn't like his son-in-law, but he is quite fond of Pei Xi's grandson, hearing Pei Yi ask this, he couldn't help but sink his face, and said with hatred: "If you don't bring him back, will it be difficult for him to turn the sky upside down?" β
