Chapter 729: Ancestral System and Privileges (Part II)
At this time, the concubines who remained in the palace, in addition to Concubine De, were Concubine Jing, Li Zhaoyi and Zheng Jieyu.
It can be seen that the concubines left behind all have a deep family background, not to mention Wu Meiniang's reasons, just the family background of these concubines, other concubines can't compare.
Concubine De Jing and Zheng Jieyu are both women with five surnames, and the families they came from are all families with five surnames and seven hopes, which can be said to be the most prominent family in this era.
The five surnames and seven hopes are prominent, even the royal family cannot be easily offended, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang originally wanted to suppress the five surnames and seven hopes, but in the end they did not succeed, which shows the status of the five surnames and seven hopes in the Tang Dynasty at this time.
The first generation of the Tang Dynasty, from the early Tang Dynasty, the prosperous Tang Dynasty to the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the status of the five surnames has always been very high, which is the last swan song of the scholars in Chinese history.
The only one among these people who is not a woman with five surnames is Li Zhaoyi, it seems wrong, Li Zhaoyi is also a woman with five surnames, the family she was born in is the Li family of Longxi, and she is also the family of the five surnames and seven hopes, but she is not the descendant of the Li family in Longxi, the descendant of the Li family in Longxi is the royal family, and the rest of the people are the descendants of the family with the five surnames.
Li Zhaoyi is not the descendant of the Li family in Longxi, but her background is also extremely prominent, and behind her is King An's Mansion, in fact, to really say it, the status of King An's Mansion at this time is no less than that of the five surnames and the Seven Hopes.
This is the royal family, and it is the most prominent line of the clan.
These concubines don't need to enter Ganye Temple, they have the meaning of Wu Meiniang, after all, for Li Hong, she wants to win over the family of the five surnames, and she also wants to win over the Li Tang clan.
And their illustrious background is also an important reason why they can not enter the Ganye Temple, after all, this is a privileged era, and the family influence behind them is enough to make them different from other concubines.
In fact, they don't need to enter the Ganye Temple, in fact, there is also the credit of the Tang Workshop, but this reason is a little obscure.
In the case of Li Zhaoyi, the Anwangfu and Tang Workshop behind her are closely cooperative, and the relationship between the two families is in the upper echelons of Chang'an, and no one will not be able to see it.
And the defenders of the ancestral system, most of them are Li Tang's former ministers, these people have been taking the benefits of the Tang Workshop, the so-called eating people with short mouths, soft hands, every month Tang Workshop sent to the palaces of various royal families, toothpaste, soap, rapeseed oil and all kinds of food in the palaces of various courtiers and ministers, and they are not given in vain.
After taking so many benefits from the Tang Workshop, once there is something in the Anwang Mansion that is deeply involved with the Tang Workshop, such as Li Zhaoyi wanting to mess up the ancestral system a little, they will turn a blind eye and just don't see it.
This is the role of sugar-coated cannonballs, how could Chen Fang, who came from later generations, not know how to use sugar-coated cannonballs.
The highest level of using sugar-coated cannonballs is that you know that this is a sugar-coated cannonball, but you don't dare not accept it, and you dare not accept it.
The things sent by the Tang Workshop, if you don't accept it, you will offend the Tang Workshop, and if you accept it, you must write down the good of the Tang Workshop, and when you do things in the future, you must go to the Tang Workshop.
Not to mention the matter of a few concubines, at this time Chen Fang went to the kitchen, this is the small kitchen of the owner's courtyard, before Dingyu and Qian'er have been here, and now Qian'er has gone to the South Workshop to be the owner, and there is only one Dingyu left here, but at this time, Chen Fang came and saw that there was one more person here, it was spring, she came back with Niangniang and her party, and stayed with the horse.
Originally, she was Niangniang's maid, spring, summer, autumn and winter, Meilan Zhuju, which were all maids selected by Niangniang in Luoyang Palace.
She, like Xiaolan, is temporarily loaned to the pony to serve the maid of the pony's daily life. At this time, Xiaolan had already returned to her mother's side, but she stayed.
"Dingyu, those small dried fish sent by Yangzhou will make some for His Royal Highness to bring back."
"Got it, Master, after you left Yangzhou, Yangzhou has been sending things, first to Luoyang Palace, and now to Tang Workshop."
Chen Fang patted Dingyu's ass and looked at his apprentice.
"This is the charm of Master!"
"That wealthy businessman's widow is also interested in Master."
"Okay, let's not talk about her, remember what Master just said, don't forget."
"What the master ordered, how could Dingyu forget."
"Hmm!"
Chen Fang stroked Dingyu's body with his hand, and Fang Chun looked at it and licked the corners of his lips.
"Spring, do you like to cook?"
"I like it!"
"Then I'll help Dingyu, by the way, don't always lick your lips with your tongue, look weird.... Like licking, I'll let you lick a thing in a while. ”
"Master Pony, what are you licking?"
Haru looked at the colt curiously.
"Lick the cactus!"
Spring didn't know why, Dingyu had already been amused by his master.
"What is a cactus? Is it easy to lick? ”
"My master is teasing you!"
"Oh, Sister Dingyu, what the hell is a cactus?"
"Ask my master to go!"
"Alright, I'll tease you! Chun, don't always lick your lips, I'll let you lick and lick again. ”
"Yes, Master Pony!"
"Okay, you're busy here, I'll go see Sisi."
Chen Fang left, and Chun pulled Dingyu again and asked what a cactus was.
Dingyu looked at her, smiled, and whispered to her in her ear, Chun finally figured out what a cactus was, and then looked at Dingyu in embarrassment.
"Don't dare to lick that spring! The tongue is going to rot. ”
"Okay, my master is teasing you!"
The kitchen is making small dried fish, and the smell is floating in the yard, Chen Fang is holding Sisi, and Sisi has been holding the little puppet that Taiping made for her.
Children always love this, and Sisi is no exception.
After a while, Yiyang fed her, Chen Fang watched from the side, Yiyang glared at him, Chen Fang would not be moved, and he should continue to watch.
In late July, the peaches in the peach grove on the hill are ripe and need to be picked quickly, and if they are not picked, these peaches will fall and turn into a peach paste on the ground, and then melt into the soil and turn into nutrients for the peach tree again.
In the afternoon, the hill is busy here, the healthy woman carries a bamboo basket on her arm, and does the final cleaning work of the peach forest, and many large bamboo baskets have been placed in the open space between the peach trees, and several bamboo baskets are already filled with fresh peaches at this time.
The largest peach had been picked, and a maid packed it in a bamboo basket and sent it to the horse.
Chen Fang washed it and picked the best ones to send to Wu Meiniang, and when he sent it, he saw that Zheng Jieyu happened to be here.
Since returning to Chang'an, Wu Meiniang lived in the Tang Workshop, she didn't come often, and when she saw it, she saw Wu Meiniang pinching one of her hands and watching it carefully.
"Zheng Jieyu is here, it just so happens that the peach forest is clear in the garden today, and these are some of the best fresh peaches."
Wu Meiniang took the largest one and handed it to Zheng Jieyu.
Chen Fang was already sitting on the chair at this time, looking at the two slender women in front of him, with beautiful figures and extremely good-looking at the extreme. Seeing them eating peaches, Chen Fang somehow wanted to eat peaches too.
pulled Wu Meiniang, and then pulled Zheng Jieyu, and the beauty pulled a pair, and the peaches were naturally the best to eat.
