The Gao family does not support idlers, even if Yan Ji is fifty-four years old, she still has to work in the weaving room with the two concubines and sister-in-law every day.

The Jinyang weaving room has always been a place for sinners, among which the glamorous and noble people will have the power to remarry or accept them as a side room.

Gao Cheng's concubine Lu Niang was taken away by him in the weaving room.

Of course, this kind of thing is destined to have nothing to do with Yan Ji and others, Yan Ji and her two concubines are old, but the sister-in-law is just the right age and looks beautiful.

In the final analysis, in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, where the Gao clan was in power, no one wanted to have anything to do with the Yuwen family.

After all, the weaving room under Gao's rule was not a government-run brothel like the later Jiaofang Division.

In the weaving room, the sound of the machine is endless, because it is difficult to have contact with the outside world, the news is cut off, so Yan Ji and others do not know about the envoy of the Western Wei Dynasty.

It has been 11 years since Ge Rong's defeat in the first year of Yong'an (528) and the Yuwen clan was moved to Jinyang.

In the first year of Putai (531), after Yuwen Hu, Yuwen Dao, and Helan Xiang were taken to Kansai by Yuwentai, Yan Ji and others have been waiting for their uncle to rescue them, and this is 8 years.

Over the years, Yan Ji and the others have not always been sinners, at least before Yuwentai set up a separate central government to anger Gao Huan, they were all raised as guests in Jinyang.

The days of pampering came to an abrupt end five years ago, and the men who stayed in Jinyang were killed, leaving only the sister-in-law's two sons, Qiu Bin and Qiu Chong, who were too young to escape, and were only punished as Chengdan.

The so-called Chengdan is a type of prison sentence for male prisoners since the Qin and Han dynasties.

Before Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, both Chengdan and the punishment for female prisoners were life imprisonment, and the maximum sentence was changed to six years since Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.

The "Taichang Law" implemented by Gao Cheng even changed the sentence to five years.

It stands to reason that whether it is Yan Ji and the others or the Qiu family brothers, they should all be released after completing their sentences this year, but it is precisely because of their Yuwen family background that they are different from other prisoners, if there is no accident, it is basically life imprisonment.

In history, Yan Ji was not released until the Gao clan and the Yuwen clan changed forces and attacked, and she was already eighty years old at that time.

Even though the weaving room is isolated from the outside world, there are often sinful women who are sent here, and the women of the Yuwen family can always know some outside news.

They were looking forward to their relatives coming to welcome them, but the two Wei had never interacted.

After the Battle of Shayuan, they heard that Yuwentai had won a great victory and captured many people, and they thought that they would use this to redeem themselves, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

By now, Yan Ji and the others no longer have illusions, they have clearly recognized that the so-called big husband is ambitious in all directions, and is not dragged down by personal feelings.

Yuwentai may not remember that there are three widowed sisters-in-law and one sister who fell in Jinyang.

Maybe they remember, but only when they were dead.

Just as the four of them were weaving in the weaving room as usual, a group of black-armored knights suddenly broke in, and the leader took them away by name, leaving only a group of stunned sinners in the weaving room to look at each other.

Yan Ji and the others were taken to the Bohai Palace, and before they entered the door, the four of them had some guesses, and they all showed joy on their faces.

It could only be from Guanxi, otherwise why would they bring the Bohai Mansion if they really wanted to deal with the four of them.

Sure enough, before entering the lobby, a scribe bowed down to the four of them to say goodbye, and conveyed their thoughts on behalf of Yuwentai and Yuwenhu and others.

Gao Cheng in the hall coughed and reminded:

"It's not too late to talk about the old days after the price is negotiated."

Only then did the people in the hall stop greeting.

"Xitong Pass is the gateway to Guanzhong, it is impossible to give it away, and please don't blame the general, the prime minister has a word, he is only willing to redeem each other with wealth, and no city or land can be ceded."

The messenger rejected Gao Cheng's previous request.

Gao Cheng was not annoyed, he also knew that Yuwentai could not really let out the gate for a few women.

His eyes swept over the four women, three old onions, and the remaining one was good-looking, and the one who looked twenty-six or seventeen years old should be Yuwentai's sister.

If Yuwentai is really willing to pay a good price, he really doesn't plan to force these four women to stay, to be honest, it won't be much use if he stays.

Gao Cheng pondered again and again, and said in the expectant eyes of Yan Ji and the others:

"In this way, Yuwentai's three sisters-in-law are old and decrepit, so they each price a thousand pieces of cloth, as for his sister, she is in her prime and has a good looks, and I like it very much, so she will price two thousand pieces of cloth, a total of five thousand pieces of silk, how about it?"

Aunt Yuwen's cheeks were red when she heard this, but she still preemptively said with her two sons in mind:

"The concubine is fortunate to be favored by the general, but the concubine still has two sons in Jinyang, and I hope that the general will be accommodating."

Gao Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this:

"Men and women are not the same price, so I will take a whole round, Yuwentai gave me 10,000 pieces of cloth, and I released his sister-in-law, sister and two nephews."

The envoy cried bitterly in his heart, 10,000 pieces of cloth, why don't you rob it.

"Can you pay a thousand pieces of cloth and silk first, and then I will bring the people back to Chang'an, and then slowly repay them."

The envoy asked tentatively.

Who knows that Gao Cheng immediately fried the pot as soon as he heard that he was going to install, who doesn't know that Gao Aocao has a head, you have not paid off the installment for more than 30 years, and you Yuwentai still put me on the installment.

"I went back with Yuwentai to make it clear, 10,000 pieces of cloth, not a single piece of cloth can be missing, I will take people to Luoyang, just wait for a month, if I can't receive this 10,000 pieces of cloth after a month, I will find another family for his three widowed sisters-in-law, and it will be a good thing to see if he Yuwentai has the face to go to Jiuquan to see his father and brother, I myself have suffered some grievances, and his little sister will be a groom, and then I will go to Kansai to ask for gift money."

After that, he ordered someone to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and let the four female dependents of the Yuwen family dictate, and Zhang Shiqi wrote the family letter on his behalf.

Just when everyone's attention was on Zhang Shiqi's pen, which recorded Yan Ji's dictation, Yuwen's sister-in-law glanced at Gao Cheng from time to time, her eyes were confused.

Maybe it was Gao Cheng's words just now that tickled her lonely heart.

Fu Junqiu was willing to follow He Bayue into the customs with Yuwentai back then, and he has not wanted to see him for 11 years.

A 27-year-old woman, who has not received rain and dew for 11 years, can not withstand the teasing of a handsome young man like Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng also noticed the strange expression of Yuwen's sister-in-law, as the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing, when he thinks of this woman's identity, there seems to be a fire burning in his heart.

However, Gao Cheng still suppressed this evil fire for the time being, and his self-control ability has always been okay.

The envoy got four letters from his family and the threat of Gao Cheng, and said goodbye with a bitter face.

Yan Ji and the other four were also sent back to the weaving room to work.

The four of them are absent-minded, but they have their own thoughts, the three sisters-in-law are looking forward to getting out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, but Yuwen's sister-in-law is full of desires in her heart.

It's easy to burn a fire, but it's hard to extinguish it.

There are some things that are difficult to control once they are brought to mind, both men and women.

On the same day, someone took Yan Ji and four others away with a warrant, and the three concubines were separated, no one paid attention to them, and they were not allowed to be free.

It's just that Yuwen's sister-in-law doesn't know where to go for the time being.

On the 12th of next month, we will send red envelopes to everyone.
