Chapter 10: Unhealthy Tendencies
Half an hour later, the three men sat down in the hall around a large square table. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wu's parents are long gone, and Da Lang is the head of the family, so he naturally sat on the master's seat. After Da Lang took the lead and sat down, Wu Erlang didn't need anyone's guidance, and sat down to the first place on the left.
Kuai Fei's heart has always been thinking about such a classic model of the Water Margin hero ranking, and he knows that the atmosphere of this era should be like this. Paying attention to the seating order, this is undoubtedly a very connotative traditional quintessence, which must be carefully observed and studied.
But the Water Margin is a novel of the Ming Dynasty after all, and Shi Naixiang's apprentice is Luo Guanzhong, and the Water Margin was written not much earlier than the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The routines of the heroes described in Mr. Shi's book are really the fashion of the Northern Song Dynasty? Isn't it a Ming custom?
If you think about it carefully, Mr. Shi should not be wrong in this detail. After all, he was a retired military general in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and after returning to the field, he made a cameo appearance as a writer in the Ming Dynasty. Between the Great Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, in fact, there was only one Yuan Dynasty apart. The Great Yuan Empire of the Mongols was very short-lived, and for Mr. Shi at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty was actually a matter that had just passed, and Mr. Shi should have written it quite close to the truth.
Therefore, Wu Erlang sat on the first place on the left, which is also very in line with the rules of the Song Dynasty.
It's like the scene in the movie where President Jiang held a military meeting, of course, the president sat on the chair of the horizontal head, and there were two rows of national-military-general-leaders sitting on either side of the long conference table. Every small landlord of the big flower family has the same routine when they sit in the hall.
The master sits on the chair above.
His family sat on the left-hand side in the order of the elder and the youngest. If a guest visits, they should also sit on the right-hand side in the order of their status.
At this moment, the martial arts family did not have any guests, Erlang was his own brother, not a rare guest, so he was impatient to wait for the two of Dalang and his wife to greet him, and he sat straight to the first place on the left.
These are the daily lives of the Great Song Dynasty that Kuai Fei feels acceptable, and what happens next is a bit incredible......
Pan Jinlian was ghostly and godly, next to Wu Erlang, and sat down under Wu Erlang.
It was a very uncomfortable scene.
Kuai Fei's face suddenly became quite ugly! That's, isn't it? Da Lang and Ji Lang basically sat next to each other, only a corner of the table in between. This Pan Jinlian did not come to sit next to her husband, but ran far away to the other end, across a Wu Erlang, looking at Wu Dalang from a distance.
I read less! I'm short! I'm cowardly by nature! Don't take the opportunity to bully me! Jiu Niang, how dare you be so blatant as to your second uncle? You're so exposed, do the neighbors know? Does Teacher Cheng Yi know? Is the Great Song Ethics allowed?
It is said that Bao Zheng, Wang Anshi, and Sima Guang have already entered the tomb this year, but Su Dongpo has not died yet. Zhu Xi has not yet had time to create the White Deer Academy. Cheng Yi has already become a senior official in the DPRK.
It's just that Mr. Cheng Yi, the great founder of Cheng Zhu Lixue, is not in Bianjing at the moment. Cheng Yi was probably put on the spot by Cai Jing not long ago, and he was promoted and demoted, and he was transferred to Jingzhao Mansion in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province.
Cheng Zhu Lixue has already shown signs of grandeur, and has been temporarily suppressed by Cai Jing and his gang, and has not yet formed a big climate.
In short, Kuai Fei, as Wu Dalang at the moment, is very unaccustomed to Pan Jinlian's blatant X-qi exposure, he did not hesitate to tie himself to Cheng Zhu Lixue's chariot, and resolutely resist the current unhealthy trend in the women's circle of the Northern Song Dynasty!
Kuai Fei was pondering at the moment: how should this be said? Wu Dalang is just a cloth cook who steamed steamed buns, and his mouth suddenly said some ethical common sense ideas that Mr. Cheng Yi has not yet promoted, in order to educate Ms. Pan Jinlian, who does not know what shame is, is it really appropriate to play like this?
didn't expect Wu Erlang to take the initiative to help him relieve this siege.
Pan Jinlian's body was soft, and she was about to lean on Erlang's shoulder.
Erlang pushed the chair away, and Huo Ran jumped up.
Solemnly bowed his hand to his sister-in-law, and said in his mouth: "As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, and now that my father and mother are gone, my brother is the head of this family, and my sister-in-law is the main mother." Please also ask my sister-in-law to take a seat. ”
Wu Erlang's meaning is to let Pan Jinlian sit next to Wu Dalang and share the chairmanship with Dalang.
It can be seen that Erlang is also quite intolerant of Jin Lian's indecent behavior of the second uncle. He found a high-sounding excuse to forcibly elevate his sister-in-law's status and status, and insisted that his sister-in-law sit back by the eldest brother's side honestly, not on the second uncle's shoulder.
Kuai Fei's heart felt very relieved.
My family's Erlang! Fist and foot kung fu may be a cut worse than Wu Song, this good man values brotherhood, and he will never be confused by the beauty of his heroism, but he will not lose to the legendary Wu Song.
Although Wu Erlang showed his attitude like this, Pan Jinlian was not willing to admit defeat easily.
Her face flushed, with shame, and she said hatefully, "Phew! I'm not a housewife! Uncle, you went to the rivers and lakes, and you have been there for three years, and you don't know the length of the family. I'm not a serious sister-in-law married back to your brother. Don't believe you, ask your brother? Did he ever tell me that he had been hired by the media? Have I ever worshipped heaven and earth with him? No! He didn't do anything for me. Just because I am not a good daughter from a good family, your brother does not treat me with much respect. ”
Regarding the section she complained about, Kuai Fei had only heard about it for the first time, and it was too late to examine in detail about this version of the true Pan Jinlian's origin.
According to the Water Margin, this Pan Jinlian was originally the maid of Wang Dahu's family in Qinghe County, but she was kicked out by the master's mother because she had an affair with her master. This housewife is an extremely vicious character, who hates Xiao San the most in her life, not only drove Jin Lian away, but simply matched her to the shortest and ugliest three-inch Dinggu bark in the local area. This is very relieving of hatred.
In Pan Jinlian's opinion, this matter is naturally a great shame, but Wu Dalang is a fool and a fool, and he picked up such a big bargain for no reason.
Pushing it carefully, Pan Jinlian (Deng Jiuniang)'s defense is also somewhat reasonable.
Although Deng Jiuniang of this real plane has never been the maid of the Wang Dahu family in Qinghe County, the reason why she unfortunately fell into the hands of Wu Dalang is not much different from the setting in the book.
Deng Jiuniang's parents were extremely lazy homesteaders at first, neither good at farming, nor did they have any other skills. Father Deng was lazy and lazy, addicted to gambling, and after losing nine out of ten gambles, he lost all the land in the countryside, and had to come to Bianjing City to be a special helper. Mother Deng was greedy for vanity and couldn't bear the hard days of not continuing these three meals. So this unreliable mother went to expose the list of tenants recruited by the government.
Speaking of which, the set of tenant policies formulated by the Great Song Dynasty was originally quite clever. The government buys the land resources that are idle and sparsely cultivated and uses them as public land, so that the landless settlers can cultivate it as indentured tenants. This is the origin of the term "long work" in later generations.
According to the German bearded old horse, this is actually a fairly advanced production relationship in contemporary times.
Helpless! Any good policy needs to be upheld by honest and fair officials. The Great Song Dynasty officials were corrupted, and no matter how good the policy was, it would become a fire pit that ate people.
So the three members of the Deng family jumped into the fire pit of the most famous tenant policy in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty.
There are too many cats in this, and I can't say enough for a while, but the first person responsible for handling this major reform policy is the eunuch Yang Jian. The agency in charge of this work is the notorious "Xicheng Office".
One more thing: the Xicheng Institute project, which the great traitor Yang Jian was personally responsible for, habitually accused the fertile land as wasteland, and then confiscated it "according to law" in accordance with the national reclamation system. This is in fact open plunder. This move has made it common to say that "the dynasty is a rich man and a beggar". The cause of the Songjiang Uprising was actually that the Xicheng Institute falsely accused the Liangshanbo area as a wasteland and forcibly included it in the national public land directory. Since it is public land, the cultivator has to pay the corresponding rent. The fishermen in Liangshanbo were originally self-sufficient free people, who hunted ancestral fish and planted ancestral land, so why did they have to pay rent for no reason?
The government wants to collect rent, and fishermen have to resist rent. So Huang Shiren must bring the militia to arrest Yang Xi'er, gamble on debts, and pay off rent. The matter has reached this point, and the fishermen can't rebel even if they want to. Speaking of which, this is the real Liangshanbo peasant uprising in history, which is almost exactly the same as the scene in the "white-haired girl" in the old black and white movie in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Yang Jian and his Xicheng Institute are the Great Song Dynasty version of Huang Shiren. Although Yang Bailao did not repay his debts, he did have some minor faults. But the heroes of Liangshanbo did not have any fault before they officially raised the flag to rebel. They don't owe rent in the first place. It was Yang Jian and his Xicheng Office, as well as Yang Jian's successors, who used unreasonable methods to forcibly swallow private property of the people, and falsely accused the local people's good private property as public land, which then triggered a fierce armed struggle of violent expropriation and armed resistance to rent.
Why did Song Jiang accept Zhao'an later? It's also because Song Huizong's temperament is actually not very bad. After listening to the pillow wind blown by Master Li for Song Jiang, he knew that it was Xicheng that forced Shunmin to Liangshan, and the merry emperor immediately ordered the execution of the prime minister-level corrupt officials who were in charge of Xicheng's work.
Huizong showed such sincerity in this matter, Song Jiang suddenly lost the reason for rebellion in the first place, and of course he had to accept Zhao'an. Of course, this trick is not free, after all, the Liangshan thieves have hurt the lives of many officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, so Song Jiang must go to fight Fang La. In this link, history and fiction are roughly similar.
The three members of the Deng family were unfortunately born in troubled times, and they crashed headlong into the demon cave of Xicheng, which eats people and does not spit out bones.
The pit in Xicheng is a hundred times more powerful than the jealous wife of the king in the Water Margin.
As tenants, the three members of the Deng family could not get the theoretical land marked on the map - those so-called public land, which were still in the hands of heroes and heroes in the two reform pilot provinces of Shandong and Henan. At present, the government has only nominally plundered the land of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and the heroes and heroes of Shandong and Henan are fighting wits and courage with the government at the moment. Before Gao Yutong checked the ten major sections and made the ten routes of soldiers and horses to besiege Liangshanbo, this anti-rent struggle only stopped at the mob besieging the township government, and for the time being, it had not risen to the strategic height of the Jinggangshan uprising.
As a result, although the Deng family signed a long-term contract with the Xicheng Office, they had no land to cultivate and no fish to fight. (A tenant from Bianjing wants to go to Liangshanbo to farm and fish?) I first asked Ruan Xiaoqi if the steel fork in his hand would agree. )
There is no income without arable land and no fishing, but the rent set in the contract must be paid.
Not a single copper plate is missing!
What is a bureaucracy? It's called bureaucracy! Xicheng doesn't care why you can't get arable land. What is assigned to you on the map is yours. Now that the Zhongnanhai commissioner in charge of the central government's fiscal and taxation work has arrived in person, do you still dare to resist rent? Do you know how many strokes the word "dead" has?
(The first phase of the cadres who presided over the work of Xicheng were all the little eunuchs under Yang Jian, and they were indeed close ministers who served the emperor day and night.) Those are all genuine Zhongnanhai commissioners. It's like the two masters in Bai Juyi who love to buy and sell. )
Poor Deng Jiuniang was twenty-eight years old, and she was played by more than a dozen young masters of the Great Song Dynasty in Xicheng. Fortunately, these are all the little fathers-in-law under the big eunuch Yang Jian, they have a little JJ, and they didn't take away Jiuniang's virginity.
After Deng Jiuniang was crippled by Xicheng, she gave Wu Dalang who steamed steamed buns for free without money. Just because Wu Dalang's steamed buns are chewy and taste quite good, the little father-in-law exchanged a big beauty for high-quality hand-made pasta that will be free forever for several years to come.
How can such a marriage relationship be supported by three media and six certificates? The weak and kind Wu Dalang in the original version, how dare he tell the heavens and the earth to tell the ancestors and ancestors.
Therefore, from Deng Jiuniang's point of view, if Wu Dalang develops in the future, he will inevitably marry again and welcome a woman from a good family to come in as the main room. No matter how good Jiuniang is in the martial arts, it is at most a side room. If it's not mixed well, it's the life of a maid. I can't live this hard life, it really makes people desperate. There are all kinds of resentments in my heart, this is inevitable.
I heard Da Lang say that Wu Jia Erlang is a little famous in the rivers and lakes, and has made friends with heroes from all walks of life in the south and north, before he saw Wu Erlang, Deng Jiuniang already had some beautiful visions for the future in his heart.
Of course, this vision is not as lofty as what Miss Zixia said in Journey to the West.
Deng Jiuniang's wish is very simple: king! Come and snatch the slaves! The slave family is willing to follow you up the mountain and fall into the grass! Go to a small hill far away from the emperor of the sky, and escape from this western city that is about to be struck by lightning.
Wu Erlang doesn't actually look like a mountain king......
However, Deng Jiuniang had a preconceived idea in her heart, and she had already recognized it: Although you are not the king of the mountain! But you know one, if not more than one, the king of the mountain! Get me out of here, please take me with you and pretend to fly together! As long as you escape from the evil fire pit in front of you, you can do whatever you want the slave family to do.
Wu Dalang didn't know about Deng Jiuniang's thoughts, and Kuai Fei certainly didn't know.
Wu Erlang already knew a little about it.
That is, when Kuai Fei was simmering the dog skin plaster for Erlang in the small kitchen, Jiuniang secretly pinched Erlang, sighed in a low voice, and said very earnestly: "Uncle! My sister-in-law has something to ask for now, please ask my uncle to accept it......"
