Chapter 38: How Can You Fight with the Swarm of Ants (4)
Yan Suxin served Han Gang to drink up the decoction and medicine, and was packing up and preparing to go back, but was forced by Han Gang to say something about himself.
"What's the big deal at home lately?" Han Gang pulled Yan Suxin, and the landlord asked.
In the affairs of the family, except for the education of children, Han Gang basically let go and handed it over to Wang Yi to manage. But as the head of the family, you still have to understand.
"If the officials are not at home, there will be something going on. It was Zhao'er who wrote a letter two days ago, saying that she was pregnant. Leaning on Han Gang's broad chest, Yan Suxin half-closed his eyes and said softly.
Zhao'er was the only one who Yan Suxin left the Chen family with her, and she was just a little girl at the time. After the Chen family was completely finished, Zhao'er followed Yan Suxin with a surname. But after all, she is the daughter of the Chen family, Yan Suxin just wants to stay by her side, and Han Qianliu, Han Ah Li and Wang Yi will not nod. When she grew up a little, she was left in Zhuangzi, and last year, when she was thirteen years old, Han Gang's mother chose a good family for her to marry, and gave her more than a dozen cages as a dowry, as a daughter to marry.
"I'm still too young, although I can get married in Thirteen or Fourteen, but getting pregnant and having children is a big risk." Han Gang shook his head, he could only hope that Yan Zhao'er Jiren would be in heaven.
"A few days ago, the slave family saw my cousin, who was in the yamen, the son of the slave family's aunt." Yan Suxin said softly.
Han Gang's body was shocked, and the smile on his face suddenly decreased, "There is still someone at home who can be contacted." ”
"The slave family only follows the officials. When the slave family needs them the most, it is the officials who take action, not them. ”
Yan Suxin's father was a jinshi, but when he was an official in Qinzhou, he offended Chen Ju. was framed and escorted to Lingnan.
And after his father's bad deeds were sent to the South China Sea, his mother was bullied by Chen Ju, and even couldn't return to his hometown, and was finally accepted into the Chen family's house. This is also because the Yan family is just a poor family, and Yan Suxin's father is the lucky one who jumps into the dragon gate. If any of Yan Suxin's parents were from official eunuch families, they would have turned over a long time ago by relying on their relatives.
But a jinshi is always a jinshi, and he is a member of the scholars who are recognized by the scholars. The daughter of Dr. Han Gang Nashi is a concubine, which is inevitably regarded by others as a coercion and retribution, and it is also a taboo. If there is a fuss, she won't be able to stay in the Han family.
Zhou Nan was given to Han Gang by the Son of Heaven, and behind him is the emperor, and Yun Niang and Han Gang are even closer, and Han's father and Han mother are also her backers. It's just that Yan Suxin has nothing behind him, and he only has one son.
As a concubine, it is not possible to feel at ease if you give birth to a son. At the beginning of the reform, Li Ding, the imperial historian who was attacked by the anti-reform faction, was kicked out of the house after his biological mother gave birth to him.
Later, Li Ding was attacked as unfilial, that is, after the death of his biological mother, he did not worry about the system for three years. However, Li Dingze argued that he was not sure that his biological mother was Qiu, but he was vaguely suspicious and did not dare to ask his father, so after Qiu's death, he resigned from his official position in the name of returning to his old father.
It's just that the anti-change faction doesn't care so much, if the name is not right, it is not good, and it is okay to bite Li Ding, this matter has caused a stir in the court, and even three intellectuals have returned the prefix and refuted the appointment of the Son of Heaven to him. Su Shi, who had nothing to do with it at the time, took the initiative to jump in and wrote a poem praising his filial son to ridicule Li Ding.
In addition, there is a very interesting thing - the Buddhist seal of the high monk who has frequent exchanges with Su Shi's poetry and writing is Li Ding's half-brother, and Qiu was accepted as a concubine by Li Ding's father Li Wen after giving birth to the Buddha seal.
Therefore, whether Li Ding's failure to guard the system for his biological mother was the first to impeach Li Ding's imperial history Chen Jian broke out, and there are really some doubts in the discussion of the world. Han Gang once heard Wang Yan mention Li Ding, and it is said that he has always treated the clan well and shared the wealth and support, so that the family has no money to spare. In Wang Yan's mouth, he is not evil, but he is to Su Shi's bones, so I don't know if it is for Su Shi's poem or for other reasons.
And Li Ding and Foyin's biological mother Qiu gave birth to not only two famous sons, it is said that Cai Nu, a famous prostitute in the Kaifeng Sect Division, is also her flesh and blood. Cai Nu's original surname is Gao, Xingliu, and he was born to Qiu after he was expelled from the Li family and remarried.
Cai Nu is now famous in Beijing, which is even bigger than the name that Zhou Nan broke through back then. After Han Gang returned to Beijing from Guangxi, he stayed in Beijing for more than a month, and he heard a lot of mention of Cai Nu.
Confucian courtiers, eminent monks, and prostitutes were siblings of the same birth, and they must have been genetically influenced by the matrilineal aspect, at least from a scholarly point of view.
Needless to say, Li Ding and Foyin's knowledge is not to be said, and Cai Nu will never be inferior. But anyone who can become a famous prostitute is the best among women, and many of the ladies are unattainable, otherwise they will not be able to sing and harmonize with the scholars.
Just like Zhou Nan, the level of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing is first-class, that is, he writes poems and lyrics, and he can also rank second in the Han family - the first is of course not Han Gang, but Wang Yi, who is deeply influenced by Wang Anshi.
Despite their different professions, the three brothers and sisters Foyin, Li Ding, and Cai Nu can all emerge in their respective fields, which is indeed very interesting, and it is not surprising that it has become a topic of discussion in the world. But from the perspective of Qiu, the mother of the three, she must prefer to live a life of husband and children.
The worry hidden in Yan Suxin's heart may have this factor. In addition, she is the daughter of a scholar's family, if her identity is exposed, Han Gang, who is her concubine, will be blamed by the world even if she will not be punished by the law. After reaching the most difficult time, maybe he will not be invited out of the Han family's house.
"It's been all these years, don't you still know the heart of a husband?" Han Gang also knew that women in this era, as long as they were not their wives, often lacked a sense of security, but he didn't expect Yan Suxin, who was usually smiling in front of him, to have such a big uneasiness in her heart, "Which of you can let go of Han Gang?" Besides, I won't let my son, even my own mother, not see me! ”
"Official!" Han Gang's firm and unusual commitment made the beautiful chef's voice tremble, and her nose fluttered, with a thick nasal voice.
Han Gang hugged Yan Suxin, "But there are still conditions for being a husband." ”
"On what terms?" Yan Suxin raised his head and asked.
Han Gang lowered his head, bit his ear and said a few words. Su Xin's delicate face instantly turned red on her ears, and she was ashamed and angry, "You go to Yun Niang and Nan Niang!" No matter what you say, they will nod their heads......" Their voices lowered again, "Didn't Nan Niang serve before leaving last time, and she is familiar with the road, why don't you go to her?" ”
Han Gang kneaded Yan Suxinluo's slender and straight legs under his skirt and said with a smile: "Good dishes should be eaten every other day, so that they can be fresh." Suxin, isn't that how you cook? ”
“…… Just once! Yan Suxin finally relented after glaring at Han Gang fiercely for a while, but immediately added, "But not today, I should be accompanied by my sister." ”
"Then tomorrow." Han Gang seemed to be in a hurry, and he didn't let Yan Suxin escape at all, and said with a smile: "Actually, you can be here now." ”
Su Xin pinched Han Gang's waist softly. The meat twisted it hard, and ignored Han Gang in anger. After a while, she asked in a low voice, "Official, it really doesn't matter?" ”
"Even if someone is singled out, it's just a bad reputation." Where would Han Gang take such a trivial matter to heart, Yan Suxin's worries fell in his eyes, but it made people feel stupid and cute, Zhou Nan's affairs were all taken care of, could it be that Yan Suxin couldn't take care of this little thing, "When it comes to being a husband, are you still afraid of ruining your reputation?" Even if he commits the grave sin of abandoning the land, he will not be punished with many punishments. There is a Guanghua County under the jurisdiction of Xiangzhou, which was called the Guanghua Army a few years ago. Xiangzhou is not big, there are a lot of long tongues, how many days have you been in Xiangzhou, you should have heard of another Han Gang who used to know the Guanghua Army, right? ”
"Is it the eldest brother of Han Zihua?" Yan Suxin had obviously heard of the 'glorious deeds' of the former Guanghua Army Zhijun with a different homonym from Han Gang, but he couldn't be sure.
"Naturally, it's the Han Gang who abandoned the city and fled." Han Gang said with disdain.
Guanghua County, under the jurisdiction of Xiangzhou, was called the Guanghua Army five years ago in Xining. Han Jiang, Han Wei and Han Jin, the eldest brothers of the three high-ranking officials from the Lingshou Han family, are the eldest of the eight sons of Han Yi, who participated in politics in the previous dynasty, and are serving as a Zhiguang Army.
But during his tenure, he unfortunately encountered thieves and mutinies at the same time. Under the internal and external difficulties, Han Gang did not try to solve the current dilemma, but left the people in the city, abandoned the city with his wife and children, and fled. In this process, Han Gang exerted his superhuman mobility and slid down the city with a rope with the whole family. If it is replaced by other officials with a low background, it will definitely be difficult to protect the head of Xiang Shang. But when it was Han Gang's turn, he was not beheaded for such a crime, and he was only in charge of Yingzhou.
"These yamen, first bad state affairs, and then bad national law, should be exiled by the whole family, and one of them can be regarded as an explanation to the people of the Guanghua army. This is subject to two or three years, and in the year of the triennial suburb, he can receive amnesty. Han Gang sighed, "I thought of these people, and I remembered a song for my husband." ”
"What Lefu?" Yan Suxin changed his mind and asked curiously.
"Showing talent, not reading. Filial piety and honesty, the father does not live. Han Su is innocent. Turbid as mud, Gao Diliang will be as timid as a chicken. Han Gang's voice was clear, "I'd rather the eldest brother to the fifth brother be mediocre and stay in the township all their lives, rather than have a good name and go to the country." ”
Han Gang Senran's cold tone made Yan Suxin feel a little cringe in his heart when he heard it, and he reluctantly smiled: "The second brother has always been smart, and he will not lose the face of an official." ”
Han Gang quickly put away the frost on his face, and patted the back of the beautiful woman in his arms as if soothingly: "Actually, the eldest brother is not bad. After a pause, "In a few days, there will be another Yanai here in Jingxi, and he is also very famous-even from the perspective of age, it is not appropriate to call him Yanai like this." I don't know what kind of temperament he is, I just hope that he won't insult his father. ”
