Mrs. Zhang looked left and right beside the bronze mirror, and after trying on the golden hairpin, she asked the guy to get the matching earrings.

Qi Yifen's heart ached dullly, and she looked at Mrs. Zhang's happy face with teary eyes, and she couldn't tell whether it was hatred or envy for a while.

I envy Mrs. Zhang for being born in the Zhang family, she has nothing to worry about, and her family affairs have been arranged early.

Although he is married far away, his husband's family is also from an official eunuch, and he is full of nobles.

hates his own hosts, hates the injustice of heaven.

The Lu family treats Mrs. Zhang harshly, but she is not afraid, and often talks back to the Lu family.

The Lu family was angry, and their mother and daughter had to look at her face. Little Lu wiped her tears behind her back, and asked her to persuade Mrs. Zhang more, so as not to make Lu angry.

Obviously, the age difference between the two is less than a year!

Qi Yifen knew that their family was just relatives living in the Zhang family.

has to please everywhere, let Mrs. Zhang everywhere, accompany her, and coax her.

Qi Saburo accompanied Zhang Jiugao to study, and the same was true.

The two of them, in the final analysis, are just the scholars and maidservants of the Zhang sisters and brothers.

Anyway, they are all servants, why not be Zhang Jiuling's servants?

He is talented, clear and graceful, and brighter than the moon in the sky.

He is the most beautiful Langjun Qi Yifen has ever seen in her life.

The Lu family couldn't do anything for her Zhang Luo, and they had vaguely loosened their mouths, and they had the intention of giving her to Zhang Jiuling as a concubine.

How could Qi Yifen not know the lowliness of being a servant, but what choice did she have?

What's the alternative?!

Qi Yifen couldn't say anything, her expression kept changing, and she was entangled and unwilling in every way.

Tan Zhaozhao's voice was flat, and he said unhurriedly: "The concubine was originally engaged in cheap labor, and she was lucky to be cheap, and she bought and sold it, but it was really cheap." ”

Connection, combination, luck, universality.

The rules are clear and clear, concubines are just objects that serve men with their bodies.

The "Tang Law Discussion" stipulates that those who take their wives as concubines and maids as their wives shall be imprisoned for two years. Whoever takes a concubine and a guest girl as a wife, and a maidservant as a concubine, shall be imprisoned for one and a half years.

Of course, it is not uncommon for men to take their maidservants as concubines. If the servant is favored by the man, he can let him go and take him as a concubine.

If you don't let go of the good, the master already has the power of life and death over the maid and other lowly people, and if he occupies it in the back house, the law will not care.

Qi Yifen gambled on Zhang Jiuling's gentleman Duanfang, the relationship between the little Lu family and the Lu family.

Tan Zhaozhao said: "Gongqiu Jing of Tianshui County, who accompanied the burial of Zhaoling, was a concubine, and he competed with his brother from his mother to bury his biological mother, and was impeached, so he was convicted of being reprimanded for the people. ”

Qiu Jing's real name is Qiu Xinggong, and he has followed Tang Taizong Li Shimin to fight for many years and has made great achievements.

After being impeached, Tang Taizong was hindered by rules and etiquette, so he was dismissed from his post and demoted to a commoner.

Although the official was later reinstated, it is enough to show that the hierarchy of Datang is strict.

Even if you don't have a son-in-law, you are willing to choose a son or nephew, and the situation that the concubine cannot inherit the family business abounds in Datang.

In addition to the royal family, which does not pay attention to rules and etiquette, vainly trying to be a servant and a concubine, and wants to raise a child by giving birth.

Zhang Jiuling's future, Lu Shi cares more than him. Qi Yifen dared to make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, and the Lu family would be the first to clean her up.

Qi Yifen's heart ached and murmured, "What should I do, what should I do?" ”

Tan Zhaozhao said: "Resentment and unwillingness are useless, unless you have the ability to reach the sky and change the status quo." Qi Niang, I don't want to do anything to you, I just hope you don't get confused. If you can be a man with a straight chest, don't choose a path that crawls on your knees. is to marry into an ordinary family, after all, she is a wife. You see, outside by the Qujiang River, half of the river is surnamed Zhang. Take 10,000 steps back and say, Da Lang has a future in the future, you are a relative of the Zhang family, and your husband's family will respect you and value you, which is far more real than the ethereal admiration in your heart. As for your panic, I can understand that. However, what kind of person you are and how you can live your life depends on your own choice. ”

The two of them were talking in the corner of the counter, and there was a hollow screen blocking it, and Qi Yifen occasionally sobbed loudly, causing some guys to constantly look this way.

Tan Zhaozhao sighed and said that's all. As for whether Qi Yifen can listen to it or not, she can't care anymore.

"Don't cry, wipe your tears away. Don't be embarrassed, choose a few of your favorite noodles. Like the eldest lady, it's good to be happy all day long. ”

Qi Yifen hung her head and choked up. He took out Ropa and wiped his face.

Mrs. Zhang chose a pair of earrings, ran over with them, and said, "Sister-in-law, Qi Niang, take a look, it's good-looking...... Hey, what's wrong with Qi Niang? ”

Qi Yifen's eyes were red, and she barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "It's okay, I said a few words to my cousin and sister-in-law before, and I cried a lot because I was reluctant to let my cousin and sister-in-law leave." ”

Mrs. Zhang looked at Tan Zhaozhao in a daze, and when she saw her smiling, she couldn't help pouting, and said, "It's a good thing that the eldest brother went to take the fame test, and it's very sad." Sister-in-law, look, this is good-looking? I have the money, I can buy it myself, hehe. ”

Tan Zhaozhao took the earrings and looked at them, and then compared them with her earlobes, and praised: "The eldest lady is good-looking, and she is beautiful in everything." Since I'm here, how can I use your money, and keep your money as a private house. Let's go, Qi Niang also went to choose some, I like to see the little lady dressed up beautifully. ”

Mrs. Zhang put her arms around Tan Zhaozhao's arm, her mouth was very sweet, "Sister-in-law is so good." ”

Tan Zhaozhao smiled, Qi Yifen cheered up, and laughed.

Mrs. Zhang chose two more pairs of earrings, and Qi Yifen finally chose the cheapest gilt hairpin and a pair of gold lilac earrings.

Tan Zhaozhao followed her and paid the money happily.

After buying it, Zhang Jiuling also hurried back. His gaze paused slightly on Qi Yifen's red and swollen eyes, and then passed lightly.

It was not early, so they ate some food at the restaurant and went out of the city to rush back to Siheung.

After getting into the carriage, Zhang Jiuling handed the dowry book to Tan Zhaozhao and said, "Zhaozhao has checked it, it's okay." ”

Tan Zhaozhao glanced at it casually, then put away the booklet and said, "Da Lang is doing things, I am very relieved." ”

Zhang Jiuling kissed the corner of her lips and said, "I finally went to the city, but I couldn't accompany Zhaozhao to go shopping, it's for my husband." ”

Tan Zhaozhao said: "You entered Shaozhou City, but you didn't go back to your ancestral house, you were still wandering outside, and then you had to be said no." ”

Zhang Jiuling raised his eyebrows, and said unruly: "Who dares to say about me?" ”

Tan Zhaozhao burst out laughing and said, "Yes, yes, Da Lang is the golden pimple of the Zhang family, and it's too late for them to offer it." But they don't say Dalang, they can say me. ”

Zhang Jiuling took the opportunity to hold Tan Zhaozhao's hand, his expression was cold, and said, "Zhaozhao, if they accuse you, it is because I have not done well enough. You and I are husband and wife, and accusing you is the same as accusing me. Rest assured, I will never let this happen. ”

Tan Zhaozhao bowed his head and said: "I'm just joking, I'm about to leave Shaozhou, if you want to accuse me, come to Chang'an!" ”

Zhang Jiuling paused and asked, "Zhaozhao went to Chang'an, but he doesn't plan to come back in the future?" ”

Tan Zhaozhao sighed, rolled his eyes, and said vaguely: "I didn't say that I would stay in Chang'an." ”

Zhang Jiuling is such a smart person, and quickly continued: "There is also Luoyang." ”

Wu Zetian was in Luoyang most of the time, and very rarely in Chang'an Weiyang Palace, Luoyang was as prosperous as Chang'an.

Zhang Jiuling asked: "Zhaozhao, if I don't pass the exam, I have to go back to Shaozhou, do you have to stay there and come back with me?" ”

Tan Zhaozhao said: "Da Lang has to believe in himself, even if he misses once, there will be a next time." Chang'an Shaozhou is so far away, delayed back and forth, and all day is in a hurry. ”

Zhang Jiuling saw Tan Zhaozhao looking at him, and said unhappily: "Zhaozhaoxiu wants to fool me, you just don't want to come back with me." ”

Tan Zhaozhao quickly changed the topic and said, "You saw Qi Niang before, she cried with me, saying that she wanted to be my maid and follow us to Chang'an." ”

Zhang Jiuling frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It's ridiculous! ”

Tan Zhaozhao nodded in agreement, "Yes, there is a big difference between the lowly and the common people. But Da Lang, you are a smart person, you should be able to guess that she does not want to be a servant for me. What's so good about being a servant for me, being a servant for you, a concubine, and it makes some sense, right? ”

Zhang Jiuling carefully looked at Tan Zhaozhao's expression, and saw that she was smiling and smiling, and he was not the slightest bit unhappy, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt uncomfortable.

"Zhaozhao, you don't care at all?"

As soon as the words came out, Zhang Jiuling felt more and more inappropriate.

Tan Zhaozhao didn't want to go back to Shaozhou at all, so he didn't need to care about Qi Yifen's plans.

Zhang Jiuling understands the principle of "do unto others what you don't want to be done to yourself", and if he were him, he would definitely not accept Tan Zhaozhao as another man.

What he could not accept, was imposed on women by rules of etiquette, and although they could not resist, they would not be willing to accept it.

Tan Zhaozhao said: "I persuaded her, as for what she will think and do, I can't care." But Da Lang, in the past, the Ah family used my aunt's mouth to persuade me to choose another person to serve you. How to serve, I didn't ask much, I guess it shouldn't be like a thousand mountains and eyebrow peas. I didn't want to tell you about it, because it's not me who is in charge, it's you, and they should tell you. ”

Zhang Jiuling's expression was cold, and he said, "I never thought about this. Zhaozhao, I told you that you and I are enough for husband and wife. You don't care about this matter, I'll go and explain it to A-Niang. ”

Tan Zhaozhao hurriedly said: "Since the Ah family has not made it clear to you, Da Lang will not make any extraneous branches." Qi Niang is a little lady with thin skin. She lives in Zhang's house, if this layer of skin is torn, how will she deal with herself in the future. I never blamed her, it wasn't her fault after all. What can she do, who doesn't want to live a better life. It's only to blame today's world and strict etiquette rules. This person, especially a woman, must be reincarnated with his eyes wide open and reincarnated into the belly of the wife of a powerful family. ”

"And yes."

Tan Zhaozhao stretched out his fingers and picked up Zhang Jiuling's jaw, Ying Ying smiled: "It's all because of the beauty of the big man, which makes the little lady's heart move." ”

Zhang Jiuling's jaw was tingling, and he itched to the tip of his heart and trembled.

He had never mistaken her.

It is really his Zhaozhao, the Zhaozhao of the sun and the moon.

Intelligent, compassionate.

Once I went to Chang'an for 30,000 miles, the future was uncertain, and I was fortunate to have her as my companion.

Zhang Jiuling leaned over, kissed her, and whispered: "Then Zhao Zhao has ever been moved?" ”
