Chapter 168: The Golden Mansion and the Silver Vine

Yinman was thinking about it, and was suddenly frightened by this shout.

She couldn't imagine that Youhang could still desperately find herself in her dreams, and this affection was unforgettable. It was not in vain that before going to Yangzhou, he followed his wishes and planted trees in the barren mountains of the slave family.

Look at Youhang's delicate face again, and think about it, people are merchants, and now the household registration status is almost equivalent to Bai Ding. And he is a lowly person, a natural slave, how can a toad want to eat swan meat, it is impossible. Thinking of this, Yinvine couldn't help the tears rolling and wiped his eyes.

Suddenly, a string of tears wet the embroidery and fell on the freshly embroidered lotus. Yinman blamed himself for being so careless, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help but slap himself.

Silvervine was thinking about it, startled by the shouts outside.

It was none other than Ran Gon's wife Tang Heniang who called her.

She also loves Youhang's apprentice, and plans to marry her little daughter Ran Li to him. It's just that I haven't mentioned this matter to the master for the time being. Therefore, Mrs. Tang Heniang can't look down on this little girl around Youhang.

Youhang likes Yinman, before going to Yangzhou, he hugged it, indulged in joy, and planted trees for a long time. The two have been secretly married for a hundred years, and Youhang told her not to panic, and she would find a way to get her master to agree.

As soon as Youhang left, Tang Heniang called Yinman aside and asked her to kneel down and honestly confess three sentences: Why did you have intentions for Youhang? How to seduce Youhang? How to induce Youhang to make a promise?

Yinman just admitted that he was sleeping, which was nothing more than a normal play by a merchant man to a cheap woman. Seeing that she was not telling the truth, He Niang told her to take off her coat and whip her on the back.

Each whip has a name:

The first whip is called a lying whip, the second whip is a two-sentence lying whip, and the third whip is a three-sentence lying whip.

The fourth whip is the first whip, the fifth whip is the second whip, and the sixth whip is the third whip.

The seventh whip is to seduce one whip, the eighth is to seduce two whips, and the ninth whip is to seduce three whips.

The tenth lash is to induce one lash, the eleventh lash is to induce two lashes, and the twelfth lash is to induce three lashes.

Thirteen lashes are one tree whip, fourteen lashes are two tree whips, and fifteen lashes are three tree whips.

Planting a tree counts as one whip, and if you don't give an honest account, you will be given five hundred lashes. Thinking that she has been in Ran Mansion for many years, she can beat less, and then she can beat at least a hundred lashes.

By the time he reached the thirtieth whip, Yinman had already fainted in pain. Cold water was poured on his back, and the wound was agitated, and he woke up in pain. asked her to confess her vows twice, and Yinman insisted that there was no oath.

After a few more whips, Yinman's back was beaten to the core, his skin was open, and he didn't say two oaths to live or die.

Fortunately, Jin Lou reported the matter to the housekeeper. When the two came, the butler persuaded the lady and took the whip. Jin Lou rescued Yinman, picked it up and left.

Afterwards, the housekeeper Ran Wu visited her bedside and taught her a lesson. It is absolutely impossible for a maid to achieve anything with the young master, she can only die. Today, if it weren't for Jin Lou's sake, for the sake of the same subordinate for many years, he knelt down and begged him, wouldn't he have been killed. What if you die?

Even if someone from your family comes, to put it mildly, it was you who died of a violent illness, give some scattered silver, and ask your family to collect the body and leave. If you say that you are annoyed, you will sue your family to the government together, accusing you of seducing good people, not only will you not get the funeral expenses, but your family will also be punished with lax discipline and cane in the court. Do you know the spine of the cane?

It was not a whipping, but a stripping of one's coat and a whipping with a stick of fire and water made of a bamboo pole. The tooth servants who hold the cane will often show mercy to the white Ding and the merchants, and do not use all their strength. And the lowly households are beaten with canes, they all grit their teeth with hatred, and it is not uncommon for them to die if they can't finish beating with thirty rods.

This is not to scare anyone, the law of the Tang Dynasty is like this. It's not just the Tang calendar, since the Qin and Han dynasties, the laws of all dynasties are the same.

Let's just say that I will be whipped today, and if my wife hadn't thought of you having been here for so many years, she would have beaten and crippled people without thirty lashes. There was also whipping in the halls of the government, and those fierce and vicious servants were told to beat people with leather whips, or they could beat people to death with thirty lashes.

Ran Wu persuaded her earnestly: "Young people who don't want to plant trees and jump into the river, but the household registration is different and the door is wrong, but don't think about it, your end is very miserable." Even the family. I'll just say this, and we must eradicate the idea that the door is wrong. You take care of your injuries. ”

Yinman is grateful to the butler for his rescue and lesson. The housekeeper asked the other maids to wipe her wounds, put medicine on them, and told her to stay in bed for a few days.

By this time, the whiplash wound on his back was about to clear, and there were still two large blood scabs that had not fallen off. Think about it, because of a private meeting, the two of them were beaten to death at home, and Youhang suffered this catastrophe, could it be that God can't bless our true feelings?

Yinman wiped away his tears and quickly ran out of Jin Lou's bedroom, and Jin Lou happened to come in. Hurriedly whispered to him: "It's okay, there are many guests today." Jinlou will help you and have a big brother, just don't talk nonsense. ”

Yinman couldn't help but splash two tears for such a kind-hearted brother. Hurriedly held back his tear ducts and ran to Tang Heniang: "What do you have to tell Madame?" The young master was covered in injuries and unbearable pain, and he thought I was in the way, so he was about to ask Jin Lou to accompany him. ”

Saying this, Tang Heniang's face changed, from anger to disdain, and she spoke in her nostrils: "Don't go to the main hall to serve tea and pour water, it's time to serve wine and meat, and urge the housekeeper to hurry up." ”

It's ok, it's covered up. Yinman agreed, and hurried to the main hall. In fact, there are already three maids serving tea and pouring water here, and it is simply the lady who is making a mistake and wants to support herself. I don't want to let myself stay by Youhang's side for a moment.

The housekeeper Ran Wu is also here, talking with Zhenzhou Bajun and answering everyone's curiosities.

In the Golden Building, Ran Li had already been called over by the old lady. Tang Heniang asked her to accompany Youhang more. Ran Li was awkward and reluctant. But as soon as Ran Li saw Jin Lou, he changed his bitter gourd face. Tang Heniang thought she was happy to accompany Youhang, so she got up and went to the kitchen to urge the food.

As soon as the old lady went out, Ran Li immediately hugged Jin Lou: "I miss me." ”

Jin Lou hurriedly twisted her face: "Kai Niang is here again." ”

Frightened, Ran Li quickly dodged away, and when she looked, her mother didn't come. When he was angry, he slapped Jin Lou's shoulder, and Jin Lou Fei ran out. Tang Heniang asked him, "Does Ran Li look at Youhang?"

Ran Li said that her stomach was uncomfortable and she wanted to go back to her room and lie down. Jin Lou said nonsense.

"Dead girl, as soon as she was asked to accompany Youhang, she had a stomachache and no scheming at all. It's so similar to his father, and he's a fool. Tang Heniang muttered, and went to the main hall to talk to Zhenzhou Bajun.

It happened that the housekeeper came out and heard Jin Lou talking to his wife, so he came over and laughed secretly at Jin Lou. Jin Lou squeezed his eyebrows at him: "Second master, what are you laughing at? Ran Li really has a stomachache." ”

The sister-in-law also said that Ran Li was like his father, and he was not like this back then, he was entangled and entangled, and his eldest brother completely fell. married her and spent money to change her household registration. Ran Wu muttered softly.

Jin Lou, Yin Man, and Ran Li are about the same age, and Jin Lou and Yin Man are the same age, all of them are nineteen years old. Ran Li is eighteen years old and has never been able to deal with good people.

If it was a peasant family, he wouldn't dare to marry so big. If you are over seventeen years old, it is very difficult to marry. Male and female children in peasant households are generally married at the age of 16.

It's late, and the rest of the stubble, the man, is either an old bachelor, or the family is so poor that he can't open the pot. Females are either lowly or widowed, or have a bad reputation.

Large families are also married at the age of eighteen at most. It's late, a pair has a home, and it's not easy to find a good match. Youhang, this kid is an exception, he is very ambitious, and he can't start a family if he doesn't have a big career.

Now I see that the wealth is abundant, and it has exceeded the thousands. At such a young age, he relied on his own hard work, and he was absolutely outstanding. But Tang Heniang likes it, even Ran Gon also likes this apprentice. But if you want to ask your daughter Ran Li to marry Youhang, I'm afraid Ran Gon won't agree so well.

Ran Li is a young woman, and that is the pearl of Ran Gon's palm. The precious beauty of the Sword King family, what Ran Gon thinks about her marriage, she hasn't revealed it to anyone.

Jin Lou is also a lowly person, of course, he doesn't expect to be Ran Li's husband, but as someone else's plaything, he jumped into the river twice with Ran Li. Jumping into the river and jumping into the river, we don't dare to be greedy for the sky. Sooner or later, it is the life of your lady, how many girls in the world can screw their parents and have to marry slaves?

Jin Lou also has a headache about this, the matter of the young lady jumping into the river with herself, if she is exposed to the lady and the master, she will not be able to live. It's not that she hasn't told Ran Li, but she just didn't listen, and took advantage of a loophole to jump into the river. It is said that the river is flooding, and you have to jump down to take a kick to calm down.

Hey, let's do it, it's good. But this is a matter of losing her head, does Ran Li not care about her own life at all? If so, then her heart is too poisonous.

Every time he thought of this, Jin Lou shuddered, and couldn't help but secretly wipe his tears. But Ran Li thought that she was missing her by wiping her tears, and she was further entangled. It's really fucking unlucky, and I can't wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River.

You said I was such a bastard, so I listened to her and jumped into the river. This unfortunate thing, the deadly pole, God won't let the lowly people not grow long? Sometimes, I really want to cut off this pole with a knife, saving Ran Li from entanglement again.

A dignified man, we are not afraid of any hard work, dirty work, and tiring work. I'm afraid that Ran Li jumped into the river. will really die without paying attention, who does the old lady of the family expect to give pocket money?

Alas, the life of a lowly person is more bitter than Coptis chinensis. This suffering is not a kind of menial work, but ......

The sufferings of the golden buildings and silver vines are not well understood by the officials, farmers, and merchants, and only they understand each other. Therefore, the golden building is always towards the silver vine. And when Jin Lou is beaten, Yinman will also try to save him. Hard-working sluts, take care of each other.

How could Ran Li and Jin Lou jump into the river, how could they escape Yinman's eyes, but they just tacitly understood and never talked nonsense. They are all the same sluts, so why bother to force people to death. Besides, with Jin Lou here, he still has one more chance to live.

But Jin Lou, as a boy, will get married sooner or later, and when will he be able to take care of himself?
