"What? Not welcome me? ”

"How so? Doctor Jiang, please—"

The person who came was Lin Yanxian's deputy Jiang Siming.

Cui Ji said so, but in fact, he did not welcome Jiang Siming's arrival at all.

Jiang Siming walked in, naturally seeing Cui Quan and Yan Jie. He arched his hand and said, "Cui Xiancheng, Yan County Lieutenant, don't you mind if I ask for a glass of wine, right?" ”

"Don't mind." Cui Quan replied quickly, after all, he was an experienced person.

"Doctor Jiang is free to do so." Yan Xie felt that Jiang Siming's words were particularly familiar.

"That's good." Jiang Siming added a wine glass to himself, took a maza and sat down, not at all.

"Gentlemen, what are you still doing in a daze? The wine is not to be disappointed! Jiang Siming simply said a single sentence, as if he was anti-customer-oriented.

Cui Ji replied: "What Dr. Jiang said is true. ”

Cui Ji was the first to sit down again and serve the wine glass.

Then Cui Quan and Yan Xie also served their wine glasses.

The wine glasses of the four collided, Jiang Siming's smile seemed to be sincere, and Yan Xie held the glass in his left hand, while Cui Quan and Cui Ji looked at the colliding wine glasses in a trance.

From two to three to four. In a while, no one will come, right?

There were four people in a small single room, and these four people had different thoughts.

Geographically, Cui Ji and Jiang Siming from Kyoto should be the first head, while Cui Quan and Yan Jie, the local officials of Yuzhang, should be the first head.

But if it is divided from the family side, it can be divided into three groups, one group is Cui Ji and Cui Quan's brothers, one group is Jiang Siming, and the other group is Yan Jie.

From the perspective of the family, Jiang Siming can only form a group alone, and from the perspective of civil and military, Yan Xie is the one who is excluded.

In short, it's just four people, but the relationship between them is not simple.

To use a group chat as an analogy, there are four people in a large group chat, and then the four people set up several small group chats, and the relationship is very complicated.

Cui Quan looked at Cui Ji, then tilted his eyes in Jiang Siming's direction, and then continued to look at Cui Ji.

Cui Quan: Jiang Siming came with you, right?

Cui Ji smiled and glanced at Yan Jie.

Cui Ji: Do you dare to say that Yan Xie didn't come with you?

Yan Xie and Jiang Siming looked at the Cui clan brothers together.

Yan Xie / Jiang Siming: It's just half a catty and eight taels.

The four of them, each with their own ghosts, began a journey of drinking table talks to test each other and listen to valid news.

——

Daming Palace, the dining room.

After listening to Peng Choufu's explanation, Lu Cheng felt that it was very reasonable, and the names of the people at the bottom were so simple. But as soon as she saw Peng Choufu's face and thought of his name, she wanted to laugh.

"Otomo go on." Lu Cheng tried her best to hold back her laughter, although as an emperor, it was her right to laugh if she wanted to, but she still didn't interfere with Wei Zhongxian's interrogation.

Wei Zhongxian received Lu Cheng's instructions, so he continued his inquiry: "Why are you so calm? Don't tell the miscellaneous family, your family also runs a longevity store. ”

"Back to the eunuch, the slave's family doesn't open a longevity store, but the slave's Ah Weng is a knife and axe hand."

Wei Zhongxian raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xin Sishan: This is the dining room under your management?

Xin Sishan felt Wei Zhongxian's gaze, and his head lowered even deeper.

The chief food manager is the Shang Food Bureau, which is led by a female official surnamed Sang. The food bureau is divided into two rooms, one room is called Si Shan and the other room is called Imperial Food.

The difference between the Si Shan and the Imperial Diet is that the Si Shan is responsible for the harem, and the Imperial Diet is responsible for the emperor alone. From the side of food, it can also prove that the real owner of Daming Palace has only the emperor from beginning to end.

The female official who commanded the imperial diet was surnamed Ruan, and the female official who commanded the imperial diet was this Xin Sishan. Si Shan is not the name of the Xin female official but the title of the male official, for example, the female official Ruan who leads the imperial diet can also become the Ruan Si Shan, and the female official Sang who is in charge of the Shang Food Bureau can become the Sang Shang Food.

Xin Sishan has a single name, and he can be regarded as an old man in the palace. But they are all mixed into the position of the chef, this is not an old man, and it is impossible.

Xin Sishan still has the ability, but he prefers Kong Fangjun a little. This Kong Fangjun is indeed more charming, how many laypeople in this world don't love Kong Fangjun?

Naturally, the more the better, and no one will dislike the many Kongs.

This ancestor who was a knife and axe hand was able to enter the dining room, and there must be Xin Sishan's handiwork. Even if she is not the first person to handle it, there must be a kickback to eat.

Lu Cheng is also very familiar with the rules of the palace. When she was still weak, she could only use her strength to fight against the rules with the rules.

The bad luck of the ancestors is that they can't eat food and clothing.

Peng Choufu can enter the dining room, Xin Sishan has no role in it, anyway, Lu Cheng doesn't believe it.

Although this underworld has also passed, Lu Cheng has always been not very taboo in this regard.

The idea of materialism is too ingrained. This is an effect that can only be achieved by starting with a blank space.

No matter how long Lu Cheng has lived in Da Zhou, and what lessons reality has taught her, some ideas are deep-rooted.

Some ideas can coexist in harmony, while others can only collide.

Lu Cheng wants to ask for common ground while reserving differences, but this era has never given her a chance, and in the end it can only be to see who succeeds in changing whom.

"The sword and axe hand is considered an official in my Great Zhou, why did you enter the palace?"

"Back to the eunuch, Aya has lived a more extravagant life, and it has reached the ......" More Wei Choufu will not be said, the son does not say anything about his father, and it is not easy for him to stay in the palace no matter how much he says, who wants to have a deep friendship with an unfilial person? The status of filial piety in this era is still very high.

Wei Zhongxian nodded, intending to start asking the next one.

"Yuan Bamei?"

"Yes, Eunuch." Yuan Bamei raised her head slightly, and Wei Zhongxian recognized her face,

"The first two asked for their names, and it's not good not to ask when they come to you, and the miscellaneous family also came to ask you, why are you called Yuan Bamei?" Wei Zhongxian seemed to be just asking for a neatness.

"The slave's Aya wants to have a son who falls after death, but A-Niang can be born until the slave is still a daughter, and the slave's name is not famous, but it is simply ranked down. The eldest sister is called Yuan Damei, and the second sister is called Yuan Ermei...... The slave is Yuan Bamei. ”

Even if Lu Cheng is reborn many times, he still can't understand the obsession of having a son. It is also impossible to accept that a woman's value can only be linked to childbirth. Oh no, maybe it's a beautification to say this, in the eyes of some conservative people, the value of a woman should be linked to the remaining sons, and daughters have no value.

At first, Lu Cheng might still be indignant and want to do something, but in the end she was numb.

At one point, she tried to solve some problems through legislation, but unfortunately she failed.

The imperial power does not go to the countryside, and the law stops at the county. And the good or evil of the law depends on the quality of one parent's official, that is, the county order.

Failure is unquestionable.

Lu Cheng was not discouraged, and she tried again to link this with the official assessment.

It's a mess now. If there is something good at the top, there will be something at the bottom, and officials who actively want to be promoted have begun to urgently grasp their achievements. The old officials who are not active and want to stay in office in the wilderness, in order not to be evaluated, they are changed to barren land, and they also begin to desperately grasp their performance.

If you don't follow your own heart, you can only harvest chicken feathers in the end.

On the surface, Lu Cheng's policy seems to have succeeded, and the recital handed over by the county order is full of flowers.

In fact, local officials have made a mess of the local government in order to support the order. And many officials took advantage of the chaos to make a sum of "hard-earned wealth".

Their grasp of the timing made Lu Cheng simply "stunned", and as soon as the decree was answered, they realized that this was an opportunity, a great opportunity to gather the wool of the people.

The people's patience with the oppression of the officials was not ordinarily strong. But the patience of the people is like a rubber band, and no matter how strong it is, it has a limit. Exceeding the limit, the rubber band breaks.

The people's rebellion is not an accident, it is an inevitability.

Just like the uprisings of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, there is no shortage of civilian heroes who rose up at the end of various dynasties.

In the end, Lu Cheng's terrible decree was annulled.

Then Lu Cheng finally woke up, and she finally knew why the Enlightenment was set off abroad in modern times.

If you don't change your thoughts, no matter how bright your appearance is, you can't hide the rotten smell in the depths.

This collision made Lu Cheng hit her head and bleed, letting her know that it turned out that the emperor was not omnipotent. It also let her know what imperial power is and how big the area it covers. In the end, it also verified the truth that officials are not corrupt, and sows will be trees.

There will still be families like Yuan Bamei, and there are quite a few of them.

Lu Cheng was no longer angry when he listened to Yuan Bamei's words. But her heart for change is still there.

This time, maybe she could try the power of time, she didn't aim hard for her generation. She is targeting generations. Victory may be far away, but it's always good to make a difference.

For example, the changes brought by Taizu Lu Yu are that women can inherit the family business, women can be officials, and so on.

This is all unprecedented. Therefore, Lu Cheng plans to make long-term plans in a hundred years this time.

"Then did you Aya finally get the son he wanted?" Lu Cheng asked.

Lu Cheng still wants an answer, if Yuan Bamei's Aya doesn't get the desired result in the end, it would be really good, she can be happy for a day.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ninth child born to A-Niang is a boy baby, Aya is very happy, and named her son Liugen."

Lu Cheng pursed her lips, this ending made her very dissatisfied.

"But A-Niang gave birth to eight of our sisters in front of her, and her body is lacking in vitality, and Aya's son was born as light as a kitten."

"And then?" Lu Cheng was interested again.

"Aye's son is really not in good health, and he died of a cold infection a month after he was born."

"That's unfortunate." Lu Cheng said misfortune in his mouth, but his face was not like that, Lu Cheng couldn't hide his happiness, full of schadenfreude.

Yuan Bamei replied that Lu Cheng's words were about to be buried, as if she was very afraid of Lu Cheng.

In fact, Yuan Bamei's face was curved when she answered, and she was also very happy.

Rugen is Aya's son, not her brother.

Yuan Bamei has cut off contact with her family since she entered the palace, and the days when she burned the fire in the dining room seemed to be her department, and that small mountain village seemed to be far away from her.

There are not many people in the small mountain village, but everyone seems to have a very mean impression on Yuan Bamei.

If it weren't for His Majesty's question, she would never have recalled life in a small mountain village again in her life.

In fact, she can be regarded as a bully.

Rugen, Aya's son, the real cause of death was not wind cold.

Aye's son was born in the winter.

Also born in winter, she was scolded by the disaster star, saying that the snow weighs on the house beams, the snow melts late in the next year, and the ploughing is also late, all of which is brought by her, the disaster star. And the birth of Rugen has become a lucky star, and Xueduo is a confirmation of the Ruixue Mega Year, which is a good omen, and the harvest in the field will be good next year.

Why was she born in the same winter, and she was also born in a snowy winter, and she was treated so differently from Rugen? Is it because he is a female baby, and Rugen is a male baby?

Aya's son is really expensive.

She was dressed in old clothes that her sisters had knocked out, while Ayer's son was born wrapped in a brand new cloth.

Aya was unusually kind to Rugen, which made her messy. She couldn't help but think about it.

Could it be that as the boy in the village said, she will be sold to Aya's son in exchange for the money for his wife?

She was a little scared, she didn't want to be sold, she didn't know who to talk to. In the end, she decided to go to her good sister Ah Xiang.

But when she arrived at Ah Xiang's house, she was told that Ah Xiang was married. Ah Xiang is only ten years old at the same age as her, where can she get married. And Ah Xiang was playing with her not long ago, Ah Xiang was going to get married, how could she not know. But Ah Xiang didn't tell her.

And she saw a strange woman at Ah Xiang's house.

They all called Ah Xiang's woman Erzhu his daughter-in-law.

Erzhu is Ah Xiang's second brother. So she came to the conclusion that Ah Xiang was sold and sold for money to marry her brother's daughter-in-law.

Her good sister Ah Xiang was sold, which undoubtedly added to her panic. What to do, will she be sold?

This is a question sentence and an affirmative sentence, Yuan Bamei once again came to the conclusion that she would be sold.

But what if she doesn't want to be sold?

Yuan Bamei came up with a good idea, that is, to strike first.

One night, Yuan Bamei quietly opened the window of the room where Aya's son lived.

It's nice to be Ayah's son, he can occupy a room in his infancy.

Oh no, her aunt is also in this house.

Otherwise, she Aya wouldn't be at ease.

As for why she Aya didn't watch his son in the house in person, the reason was that his son was too noisy and cried every day.

Aya is such a contradictory person.

After A-Niang left the roots, her health has not been very good, and she has to make a lot of noise during the day, so A-Niang sleeps very soundly at night.

This undoubtedly provided her with great convenience.

A small breeze slipped in softly through the crack in the window. A-Niang can accept it, but she unconsciously tightens the quilt.

But the roots that are relatively thin and small at birth can't stand it.

The next morning, she went to close the open window.

But it was discovered by the third sister. Yuan Bamei was startled and a little at a loss. But the third sister didn't seem to see her, and she didn't mention it afterwards.

Just as she expected, Ayah's son contracted the wind chill and died.

How normal it is for a child to die!

"Why are you so calm?" Wei Zhongxian's questioning pulled Yuan Bamei back from reality.

"Slave ......" what should she do
