"So, Huifang, where have you landed recently" Chen Qiaoqiao was very worried, looking at Xu Huifang's appearance, she lost a lot of weight and was also a lot haggard. [No pop-ups. 】

Xu Huifang glanced at Song Zimo, "I'm doing chores at Yunlai Inn."

"What kind of chores" Chen Qiaoqiao glared at Song Zimo angrily, "Song Zimo, you actually called my daughter-in-law to do chores, and you didn't tell me"

There was a black line on Song Zimo's head, and he hurriedly confessed, "I'm wronged, although this Yunlai Inn is my industry, but I have very little time there, but I go to check it occasionally, how do I know that this Yunlai Inn has changed miscellaneous"

Xu Huifang also hurriedly said: "This matter has nothing to do with Boss Song, I was desperate, so I had to go to the inn, but I only had a silver hairpin on my body, and I couldn't last long at all, and I didn't have money to pay the bill, so I would go to do chores in desperation, and then the shopkeeper saw that I was still diligent and took me in, these days, I heard about my mother-in-law, so I thought about visiting"

Chen Qiaoqiao sighed, "Silly boy, why don't you come to your mother-in-law even if you don't want to go back to see your father, but your mother-in-law's painting gallery and tofu gallery can be settled."

Xu Huifang burst into tears, "I know, I'm not a good daughter-in-law in the eyes of my mother-in-law and let my mother-in-law down" Xu Huifang clearly remembered that her mother-in-law hated her for not being made of steel, and thought that she should take a little responsibility for making Ping like this, Xu Huifang didn't know what it meant at the time, but now that she thought about it, she deeply felt that what her mother-in-law said made some sense, and this Chen Ping's more and more arrogant was really the result of her spoiling.

"What are you talking about Huifang, you will go to the Immortal Painting Gallery today, my mother-in-law is going back to the Chen family to marry a daughter-in-law, what is the matter if my mother-in-law is not there, I want to see, what is the taste of this cup of daughter-in-law tea" turned around and ordered: "Wei Fuzi, you take Si Zuo and Si You back to the school first, don't delay your homework, Song Zimo, I bother you to accompany Huifang back to clean up, send her to the Immortal Painting Gallery and I, hum, I haven't seen Hu Feng and the Hu family for a long time, this day is too leisurely, It's really a little boring, and I miss them."

After that, he killed the Chen family with murderous spirit

Yinhuo settled Chen Qiaoqiao's matter, and hurriedly returned to the palace to ask the emperor for his guilt, but the emperor did not blame him, but because of the delay of many things, the emperor had no choice but to release King Wu Rong from the court, which was really a regrettable. The emperor and King Wu Rong grew up together, and knew that this brother was not as cynical as he looked.

Back then, he was appointed as the crown prince, and King Wu Rong, as the prince, should have returned to his fiefdom as soon as possible, but relying on the favor of the Empress Dowager Gao, he stayed in the capital and did not want to leave Beijing. served diligently in front of Yingzong's hospital bed, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, but Song Shenzong's staff once advised Song Shenzong to pay attention to this seemingly scheming younger brother.

Song Shenzong didn't care at the time, but when Song Yingzong was dying, King Wu Rong bought off the door officials, almost so that Song Shenzong, who was outside the palace, could not enter the palace.

Song Shenzong recalled that King Wu Rong had almost countless stumbling blocks on himself, so as soon as this military salary came out, Song Shenzong intuitively felt that it was King Wu Rong's problem, and wanted to take the opportunity to trap him in the palace for a few days, cut off his contact with the outside world, and then sent Yinhuo to investigate, but this Yinhuo was stumped and missed the best opportunity

However, there was a very strange incident in the capital recently, and Song Shenzong felt that this matter might be the same as what he guessed, and it had something to do with King Wu Rong, so he ordered Yinhuo to investigate.

Chen Qiaoqiao killed all the way violently, but unexpectedly found Yinhuo's figure halfway, and was surprised and delighted, hurriedly walked over, and seemed to be looking for someone from door to door, and couldn't help but be surprised and happy, "Brother Yin, why are you here, I thought you would pick me up"

Yinhuo's face was embarrassed, and the guards behind him all laughed, Chen Qiaoqiao found that Yinhuo was with a team of people, and immediately blushed, and Yinhuo coughed, "Recently, there was a strange case, many farmers in Kaifeng have lost their population, so we will check everywhere" Chen Qiaoqiao said: "When we are missing, you also care about this, is it a woman or a child who is lost" Yinhuo didn't seem to want to say much, and said: "This matter is confidential, it's really hard to say much, but the lost are all strong men in their forties"

Chen Qiaoqiao knew that everything Yinhuo did had something to do with the emperor, so she didn't ask much but said curiously: "It's really strange how can a strong man go missing" Yinhuo also sighed: "I also can't figure it out, so I have to go door-to-door to investigate, maybe I can't find anything." Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but ponder, where did these strong men go, and they were caught by others to do coolies, and I didn't hear that there were any big projects nearby, and they were robbed by people, and they didn't necessarily have much popularity in their forties

It seems that I have watched a TV series before, saying that someone uses some people whose birthdays coincide to pick yang and supplement yin, is there really such an evil way?

"Qiaoqiao, what are you going to do in such a hurry" Yinhuo was very curious, and Chen Qiaoqiao's fiery appearance seemed to be seeking revenge.

"Alas, the family is ugly, I'm not afraid of your jokes, that rabbit cub stated that he was flat, abandoned his daughter-in-law Huifang, and wanted to marry Hu Jing, the second lady of the Hu family, as his wife, what do you call this" Chen Qiaoqiao looked distressed, she felt that she had fallen deeply into the role of her mother-in-law, knowing that Xu Huifang had been wronged, she wanted to teach the unsuccessful son a lesson.

"What kind of beast, how can the Chen family have such an unsuccessful thing" Yinhuo's shock was no less than Chen Qiaoqiao's

"That's right, I'm not going to see it, alas, in fact, I'm helpless, that damn thing wants the body of someone else's girl, and it won't work if I don't marry, but I think of that Xu Huifang, it's really pitiful, and the Hu family, I really don't want to marry her, it's good, give me a kiss and a kiss, what can I do" Chen Qiaoqiao frowned, "I don't know why the daughter of their Hu family must marry our Chen family"

Yinhuo couldn't help but clench his fists, this Hu family and Hu Feng's behavior is really poor, and now there is another Hu Jing, not to mention this Chen Qiaoqiao, even he frowned.

However, the silver fire had a flash of inspiration, "You just said, marry to be a flat wife"

Chen Qiaoqiao nodded, "Although Xu Huifang ran away from home and said that she wanted to leave peacefully with the statement, this letter of resignation was written, and the parents of both parties did not know, so naturally they couldn't do it, and this Hu family could only marry into a flat wife."

Yinhuo showed a hint of a smile, "In this case, you don't have to worry, the Hu family is willing to be a concubine, and it is not a real in-law."

Chen Qiaoqiao said in surprise: "What does this mean" Yinhuo explained, and Chen Qiaoqiao suddenly realized, it turned out to be like this

This is a term given to a woman married by a merchant who is doing business abroad, but her actual legal status is still that of a concubine. The law of the Song Dynasty only recognized wives and concubines, and the status of the two was clear, and there was no provision for equal wives at all. The marriage law of the Song Dynasty stipulates that "Zhuhe who marries a wife and marries shall be imprisoned for two years." That is, the same applies to those who marry themselves. ”

It means that there is only one wife, and unless she dies and takes a place to make room, it is a crime of bigamy to marry a wife, and it is a crime. Except for the unshakable wife, everyone else is a concubine, and the law stipulates the extremely low status of concubines. Whether you call the favored person a second room, a second wife, a flat wife, or a second wife, etc., her essence is a concubine. Of course, there are many sources of concubines, from high to low: 1. Concubines from famous families; 2, the daughter of the commoner Bai Ding; 3. Concubines carried by maids in the room; 4. The daughter of the destitute family; 5, drama concubine; 6. Prostitutes. The first two are good concubines, who are registered concubines in the government, and are affiliated members of the family with a certain but very low status, and are counted as half masters. The latter are concubines and maids, who are very lowly and first-class with slaves and maids. A good concubine is probably equivalent to a flat wife in the article, but she is still a concubine in law.

And Hu Jing is the daughter of a merchant, at best, she can only be regarded as a noble concubine, but she is only a concubine

"In other words, Hu Jing can't be regarded as the wife of the Ming media, just a slave with a higher status" Chen Qiaoqiao opened her mouth in surprise, she looked at ancient times earlier, and often saw the so-called flat wife, she thought that she was treated like a wife, it turned out to be just a good name for a concubine

"In the family of merchants, it is normal to marry a flat wife, because they are all in different places, so ordinary businessmen think that this flat wife is no different from the main wife, but in fact, there is a big difference," Yinhuo analyzed.

"Okay, who made this law really won my heart, can't a woman who is willing to fall can only serve as a concubine hahaha, I want to see, what else does the Hu family have to say"

"In this way, you go first, my business is done, and I will also go to Chen's house to have a look, this statement is flat, and it is really not a long memory" Yinhuo hated iron and did not become steel.

"By the way, I still have something to ask you, you have been back for more than ten days, why hasn't you come back until now" Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but be a little worried. The only thing that is more reliable is this Chen Bonian, if he has any three strengths and two weaknesses, this Chen family is really going to decline.

"I am the emperor who urgently recruited me to return, but I ran and killed several thousands of horses along the way, how can the army come so soon, but the days are also fast" Yinhuo secretly hurt, when the time comes, this defeated army will return to Beijing, I don't know how much wind and waves it will cause.
