Chapter 117: Filial Piety
Mrs. An was furious when she heard this: "Brother Song, your book has been read in the dog's belly, do you dare to collide with your grandmother?" This is the good rule that your Guozijian professor taught. I'll go to Guozijian tomorrow and ask, how do you say that this is not filial? Your mother has a destiny, and so do I. Check it out. ”
Hearing this, Qin Guosong's face was filled with anger. If Mrs. An really went to Guozijian, then Qin Guosong's life would be over, and unfilial scholars would be spurned by the world.
Although Qin Ping was confused, but, after all, he was the Duke of Liguo, and he still understood these foreign affairs, seeing that his son had entered the Guozi Prison and had a great future in the future, it was very likely that the Qin family of the Duke of Liguo would prosper in the hands of his son, how could he be willing to let such a good son be beaten by his mother for a crime of unfilial piety?
Qin Ping looked at his mother with a little headache and said, "Mother, why are you doing this? What's the matter with Brother Guan Song? He sees that he has a great future, which is the key to the prosperity of our Qin family, how can you pull him down? ”
Mrs. An looked unreasonable: "Don't tell me this? Whoever comes up in our house will be able to come up. I said back then that the only one who inherits this family is Brother Tan. If you dare to go up and ask Brother Song'er to be sealed, I will go to Guozi to sue Brother Song'er for being unfilial. Look at how Brother Song still behaves in this world. If you have the ability, you will kill my old lady. ”
Seeing Mrs. An's unreasonable appearance, several aunts laughed, Qin Ping, Mrs. Yin, and Qin Guosong were helpless. In this world, filial piety comes first, only children are at fault, where are parents at fault? One word of filial piety overwhelmed a room of people.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Qin Mingyue said indifferently: "Grandmother, after standing for so long, you should be tired, so you should sit down and talk." Where are the maids, pour tea for the old lady. ”
Mrs. An still has to give Qin Mingyue some face. Although what she hated the most was Qin Mingyue, the person who took away her housekeeping rights was the fourteen-year-old granddaughter in front of her.
Mrs. An was served to sit down and drink tea. After yelling for a long time, she was indeed thirsty and tired.
However, Qin Mingyue's words below made her unable to drink the tea.
Qin Mingyue calmly said to Mama Mama: "Mama, people have always been managed by you now. Our family has house rules. All servants are to act according to the house rules, and if they break the house rules, what should they do? ”
Mama Ma knows: "There are detailed terms on the family rules, and the slave and maid happen to have a family rule booklet on their bodies, and there are many people who have violated the family rules today, if the masters are free, the slave and the maid will read out the punishment." ”
Qin Mingyue motioned to the maids to bring chairs to Qin Ping, Mrs. Yin, and herself, and said while sitting down, "Please read it out." ”
Mama Ma walked in the house, and first faced Aunt Lian and said: "Aunt Lian is guilty of the following crimes, a concubine, she actually dares to offend the housewife, according to the regulations, first hit 20 boards, and then sell them." ”
When even my aunt heard this, her soul suddenly did not possess her body, she was used to being pampered, and she went down to the twenty boards, but she was afraid that her life would be gone. What's more, it's going to be sold. She is already a half-old, what good can she do if she sells it? I'm afraid that within ten days, I will be tortured to death.
Aunt Lian climbed under Mrs. An's knees in horror: "Old lady, save the slave maid, the slave maid is the second young master's mother?" How can you sell slaves and maidservants? ”
Mrs. An was also angry: "Who dare to do it?" Aunt Lian is Tan Ge'er's mother, who dares to touch her. ”
Mama Ma was not afraid of Mrs. An, and said directly: "Old lady, the law of the Great Zhou is very clear. The old lady is a mother's, you can be high sons, daughters-in-law, grandsons are not filial. This is what the emperor can't stop. However, being the head of the house and controlling the concubine is also a right granted by the law. Although Aunt Lian has a meritorious birth, she is not Brother Tan'er's mother, and the law stipulates that all concubines have sons who are the sons of their mothers. Concubines give birth to children, concubines give birth to daughters, they can't call their biological mothers mothers, they can only call them aunts. There is only one mother of theirs, that is, the mother-in-law. ”
"As the head of the house, Mrs. Yin does not obey the discipline of the concubines in the room, plays the board, and sells, which is a normal thing, and the emperor has no reason to restrain her. How much more is it an old lady? Which old lady is in charge of the affairs of her daughter-in-law's room? There is also Tan Ge'er, his serious mother is Mrs. Yin. Mrs. Yin can also go to the government to sue Brother Tan for unfilial piety. ”
The implication is that Mrs. An, you go to sue your son for unfilial piety, and your grandson for unfilial piety, you sue here, and Mrs. Yin over there can also sue her son for unfilial piety.
Mrs. An was furious, she knew in her heart that Mama Ma was right, according to the law, Mrs. Yin has the right to decide the life and death of all her husband's concubines, and she can also sue the concubines for unfilial piety. Back then, she relied on this to deal with her concubines.
Mama Ma saw that Mrs. An had nothing to say, so she directly ordered: "Where are all the people in the law hall, why don't you leave Aunt Lian to fight?" ”
After there were more people in the house, Mama Ma set up a law hall to punish disobedient servants. Those mothers-in-law in the law hall, when the little maid heard it, where did they dare to slack off, they directly pulled the screaming Aunt Lian down.
For a while, all the subordinates in the entire main room were frightened by Mama Ma's thunderous methods. Even the master's aunt dares to fight, what else is there not to dare?
Mama Ma continued: "The two maids who served beside my aunt, such as smoke and clouds, and the housekeeper lady Lian Mother, who served the master, did not have the rules of persuasion, and they would also be punished, and each of them would be punished with 30 boards, which would be distributed to the Zhuangzi to do farm work. ”
As soon as he said this, serving Aunt Lian's like smoke and clouds was certainly a heart-rending bitter cold, and even her mother was desperately begging, even the other aunts, as well as the maids and women who served beside the old lady, were also cold. Oh my God, if the master makes a mistake, they will also be punished as the servants who serve them?
Let's not mention that those 30 boards are enough to kill people. Even if he survived by luck and was assigned to Zhuangzi, there was no way out in his life.
The Qin family has never had any rules, and it is only in the past few months that the discipline has been better, but it is also a small mistake by the servants, and they have been punished a little, where has there been such a serious punishment?
For a moment, the entire main room was cold. Even Mrs. An, Qin Ping, and Mrs. Yin were shocked by Mama Ma's thunderous methods.
Mrs. An only felt a straight pain in her head, and was about to open her mouth to stop it, but over there, the people in the law hall had already taken away Ruyan, Ruyun, and even her mother. Before leaving, even my mother shouted loudly: "Old lady, help, our aunt only came to make trouble after listening to the old lady's words." Old lady, can't you die without help? ”
Hearing this, everyone in the room looked at Mrs. An.
