Chapter 10 Seven Clans and Five Surnames

"Tell me about it." Wang Dong kept asking.

Liu Er frowned: "It's too late for others to hide in such a thing, and you still go up?!" ”

"To say it or not!"

Liu Er also couldn't stand Wang Dong's repeated inquiries, leaned out of the door, made sure that there was no one around, then closed the door, and then walked into the room with Wang Dong, and whispered: "This matter, but you want to know it yourself, and when others ask, it has nothing to do with me." ”

"You'd rather say it quickly."

"Well, in that case, I'll just say ......"

So in Liu Er's narration, Wang Dong began to understand the Wang family he was in. Taiyuan Wang is the county of Zhaoxing and the county of Wang, and now, it has already ascended to the status of a first-class gate lord clan. And this palace is the most authentic Wang lineage, even the Wang Yun in the late Eastern Han Dynasty who made the Wang family famous in the world is just a side branch of the Wang family, it is said that Wang Yun, who was in full swing, wanted to marry the current Wang family, but was refused, which shows the power of the Wang family.

The Wang family, which has a big family industry, faces the same problem as other big families, and that is the struggle within the family. Although it seems that the current Wang family is in harmony, there has long been internal discord.

Listening to this Liu Er, the lord of the Wang family has a wife and three concubines, and these four women are all masters with backgrounds, and they are not easy to mess with. The four women have three sons and four daughters, among which the main wife Cui is from the Boling Cui family, another big lord of the seven sects and five surnames, and has a son and a daughter, which is the most prestigious person in the whole house except for Lord Wang.

The three concubines are from other counties of the Wang family, although these Wang counties are not as famous as the descendants of the Taiyuan Wang family, they are also local families, and their strength should not be underestimated.

However, because the origin of this wife Cui is too big, the other three concubines dare not be too aggressive, but they are not willing to be constrained by it all the time, so secretly the four women have been the forces behind them, in order to let their children obtain the final control of this palace.

The battle between the four women, this suffers, it is often Liu Er and them who are subordinates, listening to Liu Er, there are already several subordinates who have been crippled, and the fierceness of the private struggle can be seen.

It was not until this moment, from Liu Er's mouth, that Wang Dong also knew that in the current Tang Dynasty, it was not just the high-flying "Li" family that was the most popular.

The seven clans and five surnames recognized by the folk are Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui, Longxi Li, Zhaojun Li, Fanyang Lu, Xingyang Zheng, of which the Cui surname and the Li surname occupy two sects, and the power is incomparable to the other three surnames, and the Fanyang Lu family and Xingyang Zheng are generations of marriages, but this Taiyuan Wang family is unique, until the Wang master married the Cui family, the other four surnames have reduced the Wang family a lot. It's just that in the past ten years, the light of the Taiyuan royal family has become more and more dim, and the sign of decay is the most obvious than that of the other four surnames.

The struggle between the gate valves is sometimes much better than that of the court, and even the Li family, the emperor of the dynasty, does not dare to meddle in the affairs between the gate valves. Knowing this, Wang Dong also understood, no wonder the words of the three girls of the Wang family could make the officers and soldiers in Taiyuan release.

Liu Erjun took about an hour to make a general statement, and his mouth was dry at the moment.

Wang Dong sorted out these materials and asked casually: "By the way, which lady was born to Sanniang?" Recalling her temperament, but it was a woman who didn't let her eyebrows, "Could it be that she was born to her wife Cui?" ”

"Shhhh Liu Er, who was drinking water over there, heard Wang Dong's words, and his face changed greatly.

"What's wrong? Why do you look like this? "It's just a matter of asking about the background, and Liu Er has never been so taboo as he is now.

Liu Er whispered: "You kid don't want to live, above this palace, no one blames you if you ask whoever your biological mother is, except for this Sanniang." ”

"Why?" Hearing Liu Er say this, Wang Dong couldn't help frowning.

Seeing that Wang Dong broke the casserole and asked to the end, Liu Er cautiously leaned into Wang Dong's ear and said, "I also heard that there are rumors outside that the third girl of the Wang family is a wild seed born outside by Master Wang......"

"What?!" Hearing the news, Wang Dong's expression also changed suddenly, and he stared at Liu Er, who was nodding on the side, "What you said is true?" ”

"That's what people outside said, and no one rushed to ask ...... at all"

Wang Dong is really hard to imagine that the strange woman in his eyes, the third lady of the dignified Wang family will be the "wild seed" that Liu Er said, but as Liu Er said, if there is no problem, then why has her identity become a taboo in the palace?

"Our lives are as cheap as ants, so it's better to be careful in the future." Liu Er was over there instructing while separating the food he had brought from the kitchen.

There is indeed too much news obtained tonight, Wang Dong really needs to digest it for a while, after eating this rough dinner, Wang Dong suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "By the way, do you know who that Aunt Lan is in the backyard?" ”

"Aunt Lan? What Aunt Lan? Liu Er was stunned when he heard Wang Dong say this.

Wang Dongqi said: "It's that Aunt Lan who lives in Dingwu Courtyard, she also has a seven or eight-year-old boy, about this tall, how is it, do you remember?" Wang Dong said as he gestured.

But Wang Dongyue said that Liu Eryue was confused: "Are you confused?" What Aunt Lan? What kids? Ding Wu Yuan is a place where waste is placed, how can it be inhabited. Liu Er thought that Wang Dong was talking nonsense, so he didn't want to pay attention to him.

"Hey, I'm telling the truth, I'm just cleaning there this afternoon."

"Impossible, I've been in the palace for three years, why haven't I heard anyone called Aunt Lan, you remember it wrong." Liu Er said affirmatively over there, and then began to clean up the bed, "Hey, it's not early, Ming'er has to get up early, hurry up and go to sleep." ”

But Wang Dong, sitting at the table, the dim light flickered, and the doubts in his eyes deepened.

……

"Hey, do you think it will ......" When Wang Dong came back to his senses and talked to Liu Er, he found that Liu Er had already gone to bed in loose clothes, and the snoring sound told Wang Dong that he didn't want to ask anything today.

Looking out the window, it was pitch black except for the sporadic lights, and from time to time there was the sound of Wang Dong's unfamous insects and birds. There wasn't even a watch, Wang Dong didn't know what time it was, but according to his own calculations, it would not be nine o'clock in the evening at most, and at this point, the whole world had fallen silent.

Hey, in ancient times without nightlife, it was boring, and the long nights were long, so how could he, a modern person, spend it, and he was now full of doubts waiting for answers, and he couldn't sleep peacefully.
