Chapter Two Hundred and Five: Magi
"Stinky boy, I can let you take it away, but I have to remind you, this woman, you must not touch it!" Guo Nu warned sternly.
"What if I've already touched it?" Meng Yan asked.
"What do you mean, you're with this charmer?"
"Uncle, I was framed that night, and I don't remember what happened until I woke up, maybe I had a skin-to-skin relationship with Meiji?" Meng Yan explained.
"You don't have to worry about this, Xiaoya has checked Meiji, she is still a virgin, there should be nothing between you!" Guo said angrily.
"That's great, I'm afraid of what I did when I was unconscious, look at it now, I'm worried about it!" Meng Yan's heart is also loose!
If his body really had anything to do with Meiji, it would be a real trouble.
Guo Mansion.
"Xiaoyue, we are going to get married in the next year, these days, you can't run to me anymore, others should laugh at you!" Meng Yan reminded Guo Yuedao.
"You know, you're the same as your father!" Guo Yue pouted dissatisfiedly, in fact, she also understood that before she was a girl and got married, it was really not appropriate for her to run to her fiancé's house.
In this way, there are more gossiping people, not only is his own reputation damaged, but even Guo Nu is also criticized.
This teaching problem is a big problem!
The ancients said: If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?
On Guo Nu, that is, his daughter is not well educated, how can he be qualified to be in charge of Jinyiwei?
Although these are two different things, Chinese culture is the country and the world. Family affairs are sometimes state affairs.
"Take me to your aunt!"
"That woman, I don't want to see her!" Guo Yue was very dissatisfied.
"You, don't you want your father to be happy in his old age, Aunt Qin is a good person, but her background is a little worse, but that's not something she can choose!" Meng Yan Road.
"I know this, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, it's just that she's been with several men before!"
"Haha, you, don't you think she's unclean?"
"Hmm. She's just not clean. A woman with a watery poplar! ”
"Hey, in fact, Brother Meng understands her quite well, if she chooses again, she is not willing to sell her body. Moon. Do you know anything about her past? ”
"Isn't it just the Lehu from the Sect Division?"
"It's you. If you don't have relatives, you will only play and sing to entertain people. Other than that, without any ability to make a living, how do you choose? ”
"I'd rather starve to death than sell my body!"
"What if you have to live?"
"Then I can go to work, even if I am a maid for others, it is better than doing this!" Guo Yue said stubbornly.
"If you're the daughter of a poor family, that's fine, but if you're a happy family, can you still choose that?"
"This ......"
"There are some things that you are born with no choice, which is a very sad thing and a very terrible thing!" Meng Yan sighed.
"Brother Meng, you ......" Guo Yue was startled, Meng Yan's words obviously revealed dissatisfaction with the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty.
This is the system set by Emperor Taizu, even if it has reached the point where there are frequent drawbacks, no one dares to take a step beyond Lei Chi, whether it is the emperor or the ministers!
The ancestral law cannot be violated!
Even if it is to be changed, it can only be relaxed on a small scale, allowing different household registrations to be transferred to each other or to be transferred.
This is not something that ordinary people can do.
According to the rules formulated by Taizu, if you are a private household, unless the person dies, it will be a private household for generations, and the same is true for military households and artisan households.
As for the lowly nationality such as Lehu and Sonyhu, they do not have the right to study the imperial examination, and the crimes of these people are punished more severely in the law.
A person's concept cannot be changed in a while, not to mention that the general environment is like this, even if Meng Yan changes his heart, he can't start!
Qin Xiaoya is a concubine, and the main house is not inhabitable, even if she usually comes over, she must get the consent of Guo Nu or Guo Yue.
In fact, the concubine is in the family, and her status is a little higher than that of the average maid, if there is a lady in the main room, the status of the concubine is not as good as a maid in the main room.
If you have children, your status will be slightly higher, and at least you will have children to rely on in the future.
If you don't have children, your husband is okay when he is alive, but it's hard to say after he is born, and there are too many things like running out of the house when you encounter a vicious one.
Qin Xiaoya doesn't have to worry, first, she has a certain background, although this background may not be able to bring her much dependence.
Second, Guo Nu's original partner has long since died, and the Guo family has no men, after Guo Yue got married, in addition to Guo Nu, she became the real principal of this family.
Although you can't have complete freedom, you're at least much better than many women who make concubines!
As long as Guo Nu doesn't fall and doesn't drive her away, the next days can be said to be very good, far more comfortable than being out of exile!
Since Qin Xiaoya entered the mansion, she hasn't brought anyone with her, except for a maid Xiaocui, and there are no additional requirements for the use of the degree.
It can be said that he abides by his duty, and he gets along well with the subordinates of Guo Mansion, and he has no arrogance.
Except for the relationship with Guo Yue, it can be said that there is harmony.
How many of the relationship between the daughter and the stepmother are harmonious?
"Brother Meng, what about Qin...... Just stay here, I won't go in. Coming to the gate of the courtyard, Guo Yue said timidly.
"It's all here, why don't you see it, you live under the same roof, don't you say a word?" Meng Yan said with a smile.
"I, I ......"
"Miss, Master Meng!" Hearing the movement outside the hospital, Qin Xiaoya's maid Xiaocui ran out quickly, and was surprised when she saw Guo Yue and Meng Yan.
"Is Madame there?"
"In. Xiao Cui is going to give Master Meng a farewell! Xiao Cui turned around and ran back in a little panic.
After a while, Xiao Cui ran back: "Lord Meng, eldest lady, Madame, please go in." ”
Seeing Qin Xiaoya again, Meng Yan was amazed by her changes, the days of stability and abundance made this beautiful woman who was already upside down become more graceful and mellow.
The wind and dust have faded a lot, and the graceful and luxurious atmosphere is gradually revealed!
Nourish qi and transfer the body.
Qin Xiaoya used to be just a qiē outer room raised by Menda outside, with no name or score, and she couldn't see the light. And they have to be frightened together.
Now it's different. She made Guo Nu a concubine, after all, she has an identity, and the concubine room of the third rank of the imperial court is not something that anyone can bully.
Life is stable. Don't be scared. Then the mind and body will be good!
Qin Xiaoya is a high-level spy trained by the Teaching Workshop Division. Naturally, it can't be compared with ordinary dusty women, regardless of talent and temperament, it is the best choice.
If it weren't for this background, she might have a bright future.
This temperament of hers is intrinsic. Convergence, until the right time to bloom.
"Meng Yan has seen Madame!"
"Lord Meng is polite, please take a seat!" Qin Xiaoya showed a faint smile, raised her wrist slightly, and made a "please" gesture.
"Miss, please take a seat too!"
"This is my home, I don't need you to pretend!" Guo Yue snorted angrily, obviously not appreciating Qin Xiaoya's feelings.
Qin Xiaoya didn't have any displeasure, she had long known Guo Yue's attitude towards her, and calming down was the best way to deal with it.
Meng Yan also had to admire this woman, she should deal with her decily, be generous and tolerant, and over time, her father-in-law might really be able to accept her completely.
In fact, this is not a bad thing, Qin Xiaoya is a woman who knows how to measure and retreat, especially because she is also very smart and knows how to make trade-offs and choices.
The most important thing is the last point, the choice she knows!
The most important thing for a woman is to follow a man, once she makes the wrong choice, it is ruinous for her.
In the past, she may not be able to do what she is unwilling to do, but now she has the ability to break free from her own chain!
A wise woman knows how to choose, because this is her only chance.
"Xiaocui, serve tea to the eldest lady and Master Meng!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Madam, you must have guessed the purpose of my visit?" Meng Yan sat down and smiled slightly.
"Lord Meng is here for Mei Ji, right?"
"Yes, I'm here to take her away."
"Does the master know?"
"Of course Master Guo knows, I'm from Nanya." Meng Yan nodded.
"Intuition tells me, Mei Ji is not a simple woman, Master Meng, you have to take her away, I don't have any problem, however, I want to remind you that you have to be careful!" Qin Xiaoya said.
"Thank you, ma'am, I'll be careful." Meng Yan nodded.
"Xiao Cui, call Mei'er over!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
About a cup of tea later, under the leadership of Xiao Cui, Mei Ji, dressed in a maid costume, put her hands below her chest, lowered her head, and stepped into the living room with small steps.
"Mei'er has seen Madame, eldest lady ......" Meiji looked up and saw Meng Yan, her brown eyes were full of shock.
"Mei'er, this is my uncle!" Qin Xiaoya snorted lightly.
"Mei'er has seen my uncle!" Mei Ji was stunned for a moment, bowed her head slightly, and gave Meng Yan a salute!
Meng Yan was also slightly surprised, Mei Ji was a Uighur, and in his memory, he had never spoken to Mei Ji, and he didn't know if she could speak Chinese.
But it's only been a few days of hard work, Qin Xiaoya has trained her to such a point, she walks and talks like a woman from the Han family, if it weren't for Mei Ji's talent, then Qin Xiaoya, who was born in the Teaching Workshop Division, would be very unusual.
"Mei'er, from today on, you are the girl in your aunt's room, you have to abide by your duty as a girl, you know?" Qin Xiaoya announced.
"Madame, don't want to be charming?" Mei Ji was surprised, her delicate body trembled slightly, and her eyes revealed a strong sense of reluctance.
"Actually, you were originally a girl in your aunt's room, and Mrs. Ben is just guiding the rules, our Daming is different from you Tatars." Qin Xiaoya explained.
"Mei'er understood!"
"You go down and pack your luggage first, Mrs. Ben still has something to say to my uncle!" Qin Xiaoya waved her hand.
"Yes, ma'am, Mei'er is leaving!" Mei Ji bent down and pushed three steps back, then turned around, and secretly glanced at Meng Yan out of the corner of her eye. (To be continued......)
