Volume 1 The Great River Goes Chapter 5
Chapter 5: Sad relatives and relatives Hanwen avoid the family, and pity each other and complain to the concubine
At first, He Miao didn't care about these messages, he thought that he would have set his heart to the bright moon, but how could the bright moon shine on the ditch. Gradually, rumors spread around, pointing to He Miao's improper origin!
He Miao realized that there were really three people who became tigers, but he was upset but helpless. He Miao is the step-son, but he was originally a distant relative of the He family in Nanyang, and now he has passed on to He's mother. Even if he is a concubine, he is still dignified and upright, and he has an identity here!
However, rumors have risen, and some idle people in the family do not know who instructs them, and they have some intention of asking for guilt. Fortunately, Mrs. He came forward to suppress it strongly, and the family law disposed of a few idle children in the clan, and beat those little maids and slaves who chewed the root of their tongues and sold them far away, which calmed down the matter.
Since then, He Miao has been bitten by a snake for ten years, and has gradually developed a cautious character. Therefore, when he saw He Hanwen and He Xian, he and his brother He Jin felt completely opposite.
He Miao could see at a glance that He Hanwen was definitely greatly humiliated, otherwise, with his status as a concubine, he would not be careless and forbearing, how could he have such a conflict with his eldest son, let alone He Xian's so-called casual tantrum.
After He Jin listened to He Xian's explanation, he didn't want to ask more. Although He Hanwen is also a son and is injured, he only needs to take care of a few words and send away his injuries to recuperate. Who knew that He Hanwen did not refute anything first in this inquiry, but kowtowed vigorously and bluntly said that he had something to say. In addition, his younger brother He Miao was here, and he always wanted to look like the head of the family was flat with a bowl of water, so he turned his head and looked at his younger brother's eyes, but he didn't speak, but he wanted to ask He Miao what he meant.
How could He Miao not know what He Jin meant, but even if he clearly understood it in his heart, he would inevitably say a few good words for He Hanwen, who was also a concubine, so he stretched out a hand, held He Jin's hand, and said sincerely: "Brother, sighing this seems to have something to say to my brother, why don't you let this son finish." ”
When He Jin saw He Miao's words, he couldn't refute his face, so he had to sigh and say, "Alas, Shuda, it's just that you kiss this son." Sigh and look up. Being a father is not deliberately mean to you, I think you know it. If it's really mean, it won't be where it is today. ”
He Hanwen saw that He Jin was slightly dissatisfied but did not blame, knowing that this plan had been accomplished. He Hanwen planned to use a grievance card to pull He Miao to his side. There are some words, which I definitely can't say as well as He Miao, after all, one is a concubine, and the other is a younger brother, and the weight is always different.
Now that He Hanwen has achieved his goal, then he will sell miserably, so he quickly stopped kowtowing, wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, and deliberately rubbed the blood on his head all over his face.
"Brother, look at the child's grievances. He Miao first gave He Hanwen a sloppy look, and then instructed Xiao Zhu, who was kneeling on the side, to quickly wipe it clean and bandage it before letting him reply.
"Father, uncle. Previously, the elder brother blamed him, and the son confessed it all, but he was indeed a snooze and a rude person. Here he followed his brother's teachings and did not quarrel with his brother. However, the conflict with his brother has another reason. He Hanwen spoke very slowly, he was thinking carefully, word by word. On the one hand, he was thinking about whether what he said was inconsistent with this era, and on the other hand, he was considering He Jin's attitude.
"But it doesn't matter, today's incident has happened, if you don't make this matter clear, won't it just add trouble to this family? Today I will be a judge justly, Uncle Ying, and you will also kneel down together. He Jin said such a thing, which was really unexpected by He Xian. He didn't understand why a father who didn't care about these things was so serious today, and he was planning to dig into it to the end.
He Jin can be regarded as having a hard time today. Today is a secret conversation with He Miao, which involves today's political affairs. As a result, he was broken by such two little guys, and it was untrue to say that there was no electric anger in his heart. When He Jin saw He Hanwen's miserable appearance and high swollen lips, he knew that this must not be like He Xian said. However, he thought that He Miao was there, so he sent it away at will. But I didn't expect He Miao to cooperate with He Hanwen so much, which is equivalent to roasting him on the fire, and he can't ask for it up and down, so he can only make a business-like style.
But He Jin thought that it was okay, in fact, He Jin had long heard that He Xian had a habit of beating and scolding his subordinates. Although He Jin would not blame this kind of behavior, he was deeply worried about the hidden character behind his son-in-law's behavior.
This is Luoyang, which is Tokyo, and it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven. If it is in Nanyang, the He family is powerful, and if you offend ordinary people, you don't have to worry about anything, and you can't say that people have to apologize, all because it is actually a tyrant in Nanyang. Now it is different, here in Luoyang, there are many eunuchs, and there are countless wealthy families.
He Jin is so clever, but he is also cautious in this city, and he is walking on thin ice. Not to mention that it is ordinary like Nanyang to slaughter sheep and sell meat at the door of the house, it is very cautious to hold a feast, for fear that which one is the child of the wealthy Wang family, and the other is accidentally offended, it is inevitable that he will not be able to eat and walk around.
He Xian scolded the subordinates, but if they let the people who have a heart listen to it, in this realm, one word will spread ten or ten, and maybe one sentence will reach the ears of the Son of Heaven. If this is the case, should he still be a lang official? Should He Xian's filial piety be raised? Others ridiculed He Jin's lack of strictness in teaching his son, and it was a trivial matter; if He Xian went out, he would lose his temper, scold him, and bump into the "hard stubble", and then he would join him, and say that He Jin connived at his children to commit murder on the street.
Therefore, He Jin also thought about how to use the matter of Hanwen to knock He Xian, so that he could also restrain himself, don't get used to being at home, develop a habit, and take it outside the house. As for He Hanwen, if this son says that he is wronged, he must also have it, but he should be counted as a trivial matter, after all, he is also his own son, although his descendants are different, but he is also included in the family tree, this palm and the back of his hand are all meat, either he doesn't fight, or, he can only play fifty boards each.
He Hanwen thought that his plan had succeeded, but he didn't expect that He Jin didn't think so at all. However, for He Hanwen, as long as his goal can be achieved, the process is not important.
He Hanwen knew that today's matter, if He Xian was punished, it would never be heavy, and the best result was that his father's board was raised high and gently put down. So he couldn't frame He Xian for anything, and he couldn't even tell He Xian's bullying behavior one by one. However, he originally thought that he could achieve two wishes through this incident: one is to be able to get rid of Liu's upbringing and raise him under the knees of Mrs. He, which can be regarded as an easier life, and the other is to win a chance to be able to study.
Of course, He Hanwen knew that it was not easy, so he kept swallowing his anger. In fact, Ho Hanwen is not fully ready, at least not today.
He Hanwen's original idea was to raise poisonous sores, and when He Xian made a bigger mistake, he would be removed together. Today's behavior is indeed due to the fact that he did not resist He Xian's provocation.
Ho Hanwen: Alas, Bai lived to be in his thirties, and he is still so irritable. I thought that the two lives were human, how could this bad problem have to be changed, who wants the country to be easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, and now the matter is dragged to such a situation, not good, unwise, not worth it!
"Father, originally my brother reprimanded him for Hanwen's rudeness. Hanwen also knew that his brother was reprimanded, so he learned from the pain and prepared to change this bad habit, and from then on he was cautious and never brought disaster to the family. The elder brother hoped that Hanwen would listen to the teachings of the sages, so he instructed Hanwen to wait for the pen and ink, stand on one side, and read the elder brother's articles. However, the elder brother of Hanwenguan studied Mr. Kong's article, and there was a slight difference in the solution, so he and his brother debated the matter. He Hanwen remembered that there was an article by Confucius's descendant Kong Zhou in the article copied by He Xian before, and he immediately thought that it was profitable.
"Is there such a thing?" He Jin asked.
He Xian originally waited for He Hanwen to tell the truth and the situation, which would be beneficial to him, because he had already prepared some words to deal with it. However, what He Xian didn't expect was that He Hanwen didn't tell the truth. He didn't know what He Hanwen was thinking about, but at this time, it was not good to talk about He Hanwen's biological mother in front of his father, after all, it was indeed his concubine, how could he say this in front of his father. If He Xian really said it, he would definitely provoke his father to be angry, and this family law would definitely not be able to escape.
Therefore, He Xian pondered and replied: "This is true. After speaking, he lowered his head and made a respectful attitude, but in fact, his eyes were rolling, intending to find He Hanwen's opportunity.
He Hanwen's mind has already been determined, and he is familiar with history, so he naturally knows that Kong Zhou has studied the Spring and Autumn Period. It just so happened that I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the article copied by He Xian happened to have content about discussing the status of concubines, and He Hanwen only glanced at it and remembered it, so he said: "Father, Mr. Kong has studied the Spring and Autumn Period very deeply, and the paragraph that my brother copied for Hanwen happened to be a short paragraph annotated by Mr. Kong in the Spring and Autumn Period. It mainly tells the evolution of the concubine system from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present. ”
After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at He Jin. He Jin didn't react, only motioned for him to continue.
"The elder brother thinks that the system of concubines in the Spring and Autumn Period is very bad, and although Concubine Teng is a sister of the main wife, she has a promotion system, which is a system that seriously challenges the status of the main wife. And also... And also... When He Hanwen said this, he pretended to panic and didn't dare to continue talking.
"It's all said, but it doesn't hurt to say it. He Jin frowned, listening to He Hanwen's description, she vaguely knew the content behind, but now she couldn't help but listen to him, and she couldn't help He Hanwen not say it.
The elder brother also said that the side room was not allowed to enter the family tree according to the ancient rites. Father let Hanwen's biological mother be included in the family tree... is great ... Unwise. He Hanwen was sure that He Jin would definitely be angry now, this hat was buttoned up, and He Xian would definitely be considered to challenge his father's status in the family.
Sure enough, He Jin was furious and took the case, and the utensils that were originally on the desk fell to the ground, Xiaozhu and Qiao'er didn't dare to step forward to clean up, and the little guys outside the door immediately knelt down and trembled.
"Presumptuous!" he shouted loudly, not knowing whether to scold He Xian or He Hanwen.
However, He Hanwen knew it in his heart, because He Jin stroked his chest and said to He Hanwen: "Go on!"
Hanwen also felt that it was very inappropriate, so he argued with his brother for a few words. Although Hanwen's biological mother is a side room, she is not a concubine. But his mother entered the family tree, and Hanwen was also the son of the He family. Besides, the mother's entry into the family tree was determined by the father. Even if the elder brother is the eldest son, he can't question his father's decision, and in this family, after all, the father has the final say. As for the fierce quarrel, the elder brother scolded Hanwen Shuzi. Hanwen has always served his brother like a brother, but now he feels aggrieved and dizzy. Hanwen couldn't see the direction at that time, so he smashed the glaze next to him, but he didn't expect to disturb his father and uncle, and Hanwen was willing to take the family law. The elder brother also thought about Hanwen this time, and asked his father not to blame, as soon as he was punished, Hanwen suffered!" After speaking, he fell to the ground and pretended to cry.
When He Xian heard He Hanwen's words, he thought: "What a concubine, so shameless." Today they turn black and white upside down, and try to set me up in unrighteousness. But he wanted to think about it, but he couldn't admit it on his lips, so he retorted: "Father, don't listen to Hanwen and talk nonsense. My son has never had such a thought, and I ask my father to see it!" After speaking, he also learned from He Hanwen's appearance, spread his wide sleeves, threw himself on the ground, and made a grievance.
