Chapter 5: The Wei Family Joins the Guard

"Uncle Chen, stop."

Only then did Uncle Chen receive the order to put away the leather whip, and he scolded his grandson who was not a weapon, with a look of anger and annoyance that hated iron and steel. Chen Zhang knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't dare to raise his head to defend himself except lying on the ground and howling.

He knew that his grandfather was saving his life, according to the Han law, the prince had the right to deal with the evil servant Diao Nu, even if he beat Chen Zhang to death on the spot today, it was just to report to the Taishou, although this whip was beaten hard, but it was not in vain, and the prince would not beat him to death with flogging again.

Cao Shi is giving Uncle Chen face, the old man has struggled for the Cao family all his life but has a grandson who is not angry, today it is possible to beat Chen Zhang to death with a small mistake as a punishment, so that Uncle Chen's vein will be cut off from now on, but this will make the Hou Mansion tremble at him, only for fear of being punished for doing something wrong and dying, and going too far will make the servants gradually forget the kindness given by the princes of several generations.

The prince had the intention of keeping Chen Zhang's life, and the bystander Fan It was wide-sighted and took the initiative to ask: "Deceive the subordinates and conceal the eighty flogging, and punish the big admonitions to set an example, how does the prince plan to deal with Chen Zhang." ”

The meaning of the disposition is to imply that the punishment should be demoted, and it is easy to reinstate the official with a whip, and to set an example, it is necessary to let the offender have an unforgettable memory, which is also the original intention of the law inherited by the Qin and Han dynasties.

Under Uncle Chen's expectant gaze, Cao Shi pondered for a moment: "The caravan of the Hou Mansion in Mayi is still short of a few grooms, so he will reduce his servant treatment by two levels to be a groom, raise horses and practice riding skills in Mayi, and don't come back if you don't do these things well." ”

"Xie Junhou." Uncle Chen breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed down, it is also a good way to go to the side to hone for a few years, Chen Zhang also got up and thanked his grandfather with a kick, and the grandfather and grandson limped back.

Since the Han family and the Xiongnu made peace, there were few large-scale wars in the border areas, and the Huns only habitually looted on a small scale every seven or eight years, such as the scene of the beacon fire to Ganquan Mountain during the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty has not appeared for decades.

Cao Shi turned his head and saw the maid who was sweeping the floor and froze in place, so he said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there are such a fierce strange woman in my Hou Mansion, which reminds me of Chun Yu Tiying, who risked his life to save his father, and told me your name." ”

The woman bowed her hand and bowed, lowered her head and whispered, "The maid's name is Wei Junru." ”

"Wei Junru, it's a good name, I see the mourning clothes you are also wearing, which elder in the family has died?"

"My mother, Wei Yuan, passed away three years ago, and the maid will be removed from her service in a few days." Wei Junru lowered her head, feeling uneasy in her heart, worried that the prince would be disinterested when he saw her mourning clothes.

"It's okay, the name Wei Yuan sounds a little familiar, you tell me about the origin of the family."

"The price was once the imperial maid of the first generation of Cao Gong (Cao Qi), and was given to his father-in-law (father) Wei Ping as his wife by the first generation of Cao Gong, and his father-in-law died in the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, and his mother died of illness within a few years."

The maid is the maid of the room, as long as she is fortunate to be lucky, she will automatically become the concubine of the marquis, in this era, the marquis usually has a few to dozens of maids, and the princes and kings are more exaggerated in comparison, such as Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan who has been in the domain, has been pampered by nearly 100 maids in his twenties, and his children are both over ten figures.

"Wei Yuan, Wei Ping, Wei Jia." Cao Shi's mind suddenly flashed a flash of inspiration and blurted out: "The Wei family of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, Wei Zifu!" Wei Qing! ”

Fan Qi Guang saw Wei Junru's body suddenly freeze, and asked seriously: "Junhou asked you, are there two people named Wei Zifu and Wei Qing in your family?" ”

“…… Yes, but there are two people in the slave's house who have this name, and these two are the maidservant's sister and brother. Wei Junru trembled with fear, for fear that the prince would arrest his sister and brother with an order, she could look directly at Chen Zhang and scold him for being a scum, and she could pick up a broom and beat away his disciples, but she didn't dare to gamble on the patience of the six brothers and sisters.

"Wei Jia...... Pingyang Houfu Wei family, I finally understand. All kinds of thoughts flashed through Cao Shi's mind, and suddenly a certain thought was broken, and suddenly it suddenly became clear.

He was also touched by the darkness under the lamp for a while, and he always had the impression that Wei Zifu and Wei Qing were talents dug by Princess Pingyang, and he never thought that this pair of sisters and brothers had actually been the house slaves of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, but they were collected and cultivated by Princess Pingyang and dedicated to Liu Che.

"The so-called riding a horse to find a horse, I understand it." Cao Shi personally helped Wei Junru up, and saw that there was a pair of big eyes on this dirty face, the mourning clothes that she had worn for three years were worn out to the corners, beads of sweat flowed down her cheeks and made the whole little face messy, and her stiff body and nervous eyes hinted that she was very scared and worried at this time.

"Don't be afraid, I've heard that a beautiful and virtuous woman is a precious asset, just like a virtuous woman like Wei Gu Dingjiang, such a woman should not be treated harshly." Cao Shi grabbed the broom in her hand and threw it aside, Wei Junru understood Junhou's voiceover, and Hongyun's cheeks suddenly turned red.

The noble Dingjiang used the virtuous Dingjiang to describe the dirty maidservant, and Fan Qiguang couldn't help but be surprised in his heart: "The prince would be so polite to the rough maidservant, is this woman really so virtuous?" ”

Cao Shi was so excited that he couldn't help but confirm again: "You are fifteen years old this year, and you have two younger sisters and a younger brother below, Wei Qing was not born by your father, right?" ”

"The maidservant's younger brother A Qing's original surname is Zheng, and his father-in-law is Zheng Ji, a wealthy household of Hou Guo." Wei Junru cautiously wanted to retract his body, but Cao Shi held her arm excitedly and did not let go, he was happy and scared in his heart, worried that the unusually excited expression of the prince and the marquis would affect his physical recovery, and looked at the Hou Mansion Wenshi Fan Itguang for help.

The Houfu Wenshi really took action to stop the Marquis of Pingyang: "The prince is noble, the servant girl is light, the prince and the marquis cannot abolish the ceremony for the servant, the husband who is good at riding falls on the horse, the good water is drowned, the good drinker is drunk with wine, and the good fighter is killed. ”

Those who are good at riding fall off their horses, those who are good at swimming are drowned, those who are good at drinking are drunk, and those who are good at fighting are killed.

Han Cheng Zhou ceremony, the requirements for etiquette are almost harsh, the loss of etiquette and the abolition of the festival is said to be disrespectful, even if you are the respect of the princes, if you violate the etiquette law, it is difficult to escape heavy punishment, sit disrespectfully to avoid the Hou to remove the country, sit on the big disrespectful waist and abandon the city is not strange.

Cao Shi suddenly shook his spirit, Fan Itguang warned him not to abolish the ceremony for personal reasons, and the abolition of the ceremony is disrespectful, even if the Son of Heaven Tingwei does not know the actions of the prince, but as long as he relaxes his vigilance, it is easy to fall into the crime of disrespect.

"The Han family's etiquette and criminal law are too **, and they are often exempt from killing, I have to be careful and cautious to avoid losing my life if I am not careful." Cao Shi immediately changed his mind and appointed Wei Junru as the imperial maid of the Hou Mansion, and openly accepted the Wei family sister as his roommate.

Fan Itguang was very worried that he was obsessed with women, and warned again: "The prince has recovered soon, and it is not suitable for human affairs, and the princess has been looking forward to the prince for a long time in Beijing, and the princess is fortunate to be the maid at an inopportune time, if she is unfortunate enough to conceive the princess's child, the princess will be very disappointed in the princess, if there is a rift in the relationship between the prince and the princess, it will be harmful to the princess and not beneficial." ”

"What the scholar said is reasonable, the main thing to maintain the body during the period of recuperation." Cao Shi responded, judging from his memory, Princess Pingyang's relationship with him is not close, and within a few days of getting married in a hurry, they served the mourning system in two places, and the husband and wife have not seen each other for three years, and he doesn't know whether Princess Pingyang's temperament is good or bad.

Princess Pingyang has a good temper and wins the jackpot when she buys a lottery, and it is really a great tragedy if she is good-tempered and jealous, and Chen Wu, the marquis of Guantao's family, is a big tragedy.

I kept telling myself in my heart that I was like a tiger, the emperor of the Han family was mean and unkind, and he must not be deceived by the film and television dramas of his previous life, the Cao family of Pingyang Hou Mansion was played by Emperor Wenjing, and the first generation of Pingyang Hou Cao Qi did not expect to get a military position until he died, and the Hou Mansion maintained a high degree of vigilance against the Pingyang princess married by Emperor Han Jing.

The first batch of iron pots were manufactured, Lu Buxian held five iron pots of different shades and presented them, Hou Fu washed the horse and picked up the iron pot and was amazed, he had never seen such a smooth surface of the kitchenware, the white and swaying reflective effect of the wrought iron pot was excellent, the Hou Mansion concubines, the confessors were now a big secret, and hurriedly scrambled for the reflective wrought iron pot and smirked at themselves, they actually used this as a dressing mirror.

Uncle Chen picked up an iron pot and took a closer look: "Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven, the princes, and the princes have eaten Ding, ordinary good families have eaten woks, kettles, and retorts, and the common people and slaves have eaten clay pots, and the north to the Xiongnu, and the south to Jingman and Baiyue have also eaten clay pots, but the old servants have never seen an iron pot for food, so I don't know what is special about this pot?" ”

"This iron pot is very finely made, and the weight is not too heavy, and it should be almost the same when carried on the body as a marching cooking utensil." Hou Mansion Doctor Sun Qi showed a rare smile, he is one of the three most powerful doctors in the Hou Mansion, he is less than thirty years old this year, but he has made a lot of military achievements during the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, and is usually responsible for the patrol and garrison of the Hou Mansion, holding the two sharp blades all day long and short with a cold face and not speaking.

"Lightweight and easy to carry is one of the advantages of the iron pot, the convenience of marching and fighting is far more than that, more importantly, the cooking time is infinitely compressed, and the hot oil can be cooked for a while, saving the trouble of burying the pot to make rice or burning the tripod with fire, and the kitchen comes to cook food according to this simple process." Cao Shi handed over the wooden tablet to the inner minister and forwarded it to the supervisor (steward) of the Shangshifang.

The supervisor of Shangshifang is a thin middle-aged man, as the son of several generations of the Hou Mansion, he is usually called Cook Xi, he picked up the wooden tablet and looked at it carefully for a while to calculate the amount, and asked: "The ingredients required by the prince are all in the Hou Mansion, and I know ginger, cinnamon, star anise, mustard, and dogwood are all Yue peppers?" Is Sichuan pepper Qin pepper? Is tangerine peel sun-dried citrus peel? Is garlic a Western Regions garlic seed? ”
