Chapter 26: You do the first day and I do the fifteenth day
Chapter 26 You will be the first day of junior high school and I will be the fifteenth day
A family must have a woman.
The arrival of Yu Xiao made the house in Yong'an Square feel like home immediately. Not only did she bring her close maid, Luzhu, but she also brought her servant, Xiaoyi. They also bought more than a dozen servants. These servants belonged to the three big families. The old ones were in charge of guarding the gate and feeding the horses, while the young men were in charge of being grooms, escorts and guards, and the young men were serving as book boys.
Women are in charge of kitchen and laundry, and young girls are in charge of daily care.
It was arranged in an orderly manner.
"How much money did you spend? I'll let Ah Huang give it to you later." Qin Lang didn't know how to get along with this girl for a moment. The two of them sat in the front hall. It was already hot outside, but it was cool and ventilated here. of.
"When I came out, my aunt not only gave me back my body deed, but also gave me the body deeds of Lvzhu and Xiaoyi. In addition, I have accumulated some head wraps over the years, and my aunt let me Brought it."
In fact, Yuxiao has already accumulated a lot of money, which is enough to redeem herself, but the old bustard used to regard her as a cash cow, and finally became the secretary of Chang'an girls' school, so it is impossible to let her go easily. Now there is no other way, if you keep it, you will invite disaster, so you can only reluctantly let him go.
The old bustard still hoped that if Chai Lingwu came to the door, and wanted Qin Sanlang to help, so the good man did it to the end, and asked her to bring out all the money, clothes, jewelry, etc. that Yuxiao had accumulated, and also brought out the two servants who waited on her. Give it to her.
As one of the three famous courtesans in Chang'an, Yuxiao has saved up a fortune worth thousands.
It only cost less than 300 guan to buy three servants.
"I still have about 800 guan of money, silk, gold and silver here, and jewelry and so on can also be worth a few hundred guan. I will leave it to Saburo."
Qin Lang smiled, "How can I use your money, my teeth and stomach are fine."
"what for?"
"It means that I don't need to eat soft food. No matter how much this money is, you can keep it for yourself. In the future, I will give it to you for your family's expenses."
Qin Lang destroyed the Green Snake Hall last night, but he stole a lot from Liu Jiu, Wei Chang, and the others. Apart from what was distributed, he also kept a portion for himself, which was given to Lao Huang. It was easy to pick. The gold collars and silver ingots and some gold and jade jewelry and other valuables are worth a hundred taels of gold.
"Sanlang, I have asked Luzhu to help you tidy up the main house in the north. I like the west wing, can I live there?" Yu Xiao asked.
"If you like the West Wing, then live in the West Wing."
After hearing this, Yuxiao felt a little bit disappointed, Sanlang didn't let her live in the main house together, although she also knew that Sanlang would marry the main wife in the future, but he hasn't married yet after all.
"Saburo must be tired too. The slave will make a bowl of cold pottery for Saburo. Saburo should rest early after eating."
"Miss is here."
"Why should Saburo meet me, just call me Yu Xiao."
Ah Huang did things very quickly, and came back under the sun not long after. After coming back, he drank a bowl of cold well water, then ran to the hall, and handed the completed documents to Qin Lang who was eating cold pottery.
"It's all done. I even went to Pingkangfang to find the old bustard of Xiaoxiang Pavilion and went to the Chang'an county government office. We signed a resale contract together. After Miss Yuxiao's contract was in the name of the young master, I went to the Chang'an county government office to find Cao. Zhang Canjun, who was in charge of the release of the documents, originally did not conform to the rules and procedures, but fortunately, they were all his own people. Zhang Canjun was very straightforward, and he personally took me to find several scribes in the history of Hu Cao, and walked around. It's all done."
As she spoke, she handed a piece of paper to Qin Lang.
"I save trouble, so after the release paperwork is completed, I found Fangzheng and Zhang Canjun and registered Miss Yuxiao again. You see, Miss Yuxiao is not only a benefactor, but has also fallen into our household. gone."
Qin Lang took it and took a look, and found that not only Yuxiao had settled in Yong'anfang, but also Qin Lang had officially separated from Qinqiong's household registration in Qinrenfang and set up a separate household.
The head of the household is Qin Lang, Yu Xiao is also a benefactor, and the one registered here is a concubine, and Ah Huang handles things quickly, in one step.
Ah Huang is also on Qin Lang's household registration, and his identity is a trilogy. He was originally a slave of Qin Qiong, but he was exempted from being a trilogy because of his meritorious service in saving Qin Lang. This trilogy's status is stronger than that of a slave, but it is not The good people of the Tang Dynasty are not qualified to allocate land and grant land, and they are not qualified to select government soldiers. Therefore, they do not need to pay rent and taxes. They all rely on their masters and have a little personal freedom. If a woman marries him, she will be reduced to a tributary, and her children will also be a tributary.
"Ah Huang, make another trip in the afternoon and register all the people brought by Yu Xiao. In addition, I will write a letter to Zhang Canjun later and ask him to release you for good. "
The master can release the house slaves, first as a trilogy, then as a benefactor. Ah Huang has already been exempted once, and now he is a trilogy, so as long as Qin Lang exempts him again, he will be able to restore his status as a commoner and have a formal household registration.
"Okay, I'll take another step in the afternoon and register for them. But I'll forget it. It's good now. If it's really good to be exempted, then I'll be a student in the future, and I have to pay rent, tax and serve in the military. It’s good to follow the young master like this now, as long as you serve the young master, you don’t have to worry about the rest.” Ah Huang waved his hand straight.
"Why is this the same? There is still a big difference between a lover and a part. Besides, even if you are exempted, you can continue to follow me in the future."
"Forget it, forget it, Cheng Liang has to be controlled by the government, how can there be so much freedom, it's better as it is now, I just listen to you, Saburo."
"After you recover, you will be able to share the land and grant land."
"If Sanlang didn't want to drive me away, Ah Huang, then don't talk about it anymore." After saying that, Ah Huang left directly.
Qin Lang was stunned. Is there anyone who would rather be a slave than a freeman these days? But think about it, in ancient Chinese history, many ordinary people went to seek refuge with those big landlords and nobles as slaves, and they were unwilling to continue to stay as citizens. There seems to be some reason.
"Sanlang, Lao Huang is loyal to you." Yu Xiao saw that she had just been released from prison, so she could deeply appreciate the preciousness of freedom, but Lao Huang would rather not be released from prison, and still stay in Qin. It's really not easy being around Lang.
"Speaking of which, my life was saved by Lao Huang. At the beginning, I, Aye, abandoned Zheng to Tang, and my family stayed in Luoyang and was hunted down by Wang Shichong. If Ah Huang and my righteous brother hadn't protected me to escape, I would have escaped. He died as early as A Niang. Listen to me, Aye, when Ah Huang protected me and fled from Luoyang to Chang'an, I was injured in more than ten places. When I turned into a beggar and arrived in Chang'an, maggots grew on several wounds on my body."
"Ah Huang is really loyal, is he a slave of the Qin family?"
"Ah Huang was a royal slave who was rewarded by the court after my father made meritorious service against thieves in the previous dynasty. It is said that he was a captured thief before."
Qin Lang was not too clear about Ah Huang's past identity. After all, he was not the original owner. He only found out about this matter by asking Qin Qiong before. After all, Ah Huang was always by his side, so he asked a few more questions on purpose.
The cold pottery made by Yuxiao tasted very good, no worse than the one in Dongshi Yuelai Restaurant. After eating, he chatted a few more words, and when he felt sleepy, he went back to sleep.
Going back to the house, lying on the mat, I feel like Miss Yuxiao is like this now, a little unclear, but she said that she is willing to stay, and Ah Huang directly applied for naturalization and became a concubine up.
I always feel that something is wrong, but I don’t want to stay and I don’t want to. After all, the girl is a contemporary Chang’an star, and she is so beautiful, but it’s too hasty for you to say that you really treat her as your concubine.
Oh, I still don’t want to, let’s go to sleep first.
After going through the night of last night, the harvest is quite big. Not to mention the private money of a hundred taels of gold, at least it is to test the heroes of Chang'an who I have spent money to win over. Facts have proved that they have not lost their chains at the critical moment .
Today is already the second day of June, and it is one day closer to the Xuanwu Gate Incident. There is only one more day left. I don’t know if Li Shimin is ready.
After thinking about it, Qin Lang finally fell asleep.
After a while, Yuxiao pushed open the door and came in with a plate of incense. Seeing Qin Lang's sweaty head, she picked up a fan and sat beside him to fan him.
Qinren Square.
Qin Qiong took off his official robe and changed into a light short shirt.
Qin Yong stood by and reported the latest situation to him. Qin Qiong's expression was not very good after hearing this.
"You son of a bitch, you don't know how to keep a low profile when you go out, and you're flying around everywhere, what's your purpose?" Sighing, "Who is this Green Snake Hall's running dog?"
"Zhang Jing, a bad person in Chang'an County."
Qin Qiong frowned, "I remember that this person seems to be the disciple of Huai'an King Li Shou?"
"The foster father is right. Zhang Jing was originally a slave of the king of Huai'an. Later, he fought with the king of Huai'an. Afterwards, he was awarded the bad commander of Chang'an County for his military exploits."
A domestic slave becomes a bad handsome, which shows that this person is capable. However, in this dynasty, at the beginning of the founding of the country, many people who were slaves and other identities were finally awarded official positions.
For example, the generals Qian Jiulong and Fan Xing, both of whom were the emperor's domestic slaves, are now appointed generals and dukes of Canada because of the uprising.
Another example is Ma Sanbao. He was originally a slave of Chai Shao, and later helped the princess raise volunteer soldiers in Guanzhong to welcome the emperor into the pass. Now he is also a third-rank general and a county duke.
Even Qin Yong, who used to be a slave of Qin Qiong's family, and later became a part-timer, was later awarded the honor of the fourth-rank Shangqingche Duwei for his military exploits. He was also awarded a sixth-rank military post, but he returned to Qin Qiong later.
Back when Li Yuan started his business, he was very generous and generous. Some officials once said that when discussing merit, masters and servants should never discuss merit together, right? Li Yuan said that when fighting, the enemy's swords and arrows don't distinguish between masters and servants, high or low, so when meritorious service is judged, only meritorious service is judged. Tributes, merchants, craftsmen, etc. can also be awarded honors to officials or even knighted.
Huai'an King Li Shou, courtesy name Shentong, the emperor's cousin, is currently the general of Zuo Wuwei, in charge of Suwei.
Li Shentong has a high prestige and influence in the clan. When the emperor raised his troops, he raised an army in Guanzhong to respond to the emperor.
In today's battle for the crown prince and king of Qin, Li Shentong and another famous clan king, Li Xiaogong, both sided with the crown prince.
"Is the Green Snake Hall's assassination of San'er related to King Huai'an?" Qin Qiong asked.
"Sanlang has already discovered that this incident seems to be done by Zheng Xuanli, but the key witnesses have been disposed of by the Zheng family, and Sanlang doesn't seem to have any intention of pursuing it."
Qin Qiong was furious after hearing this.
"Zheng Jia'an dares to do this, my son is just refusing to marry, how dare he buy a murderer to assassinate?"
"Father calm down, no one can prove that the Zheng family will not admit it."
Qin Qiong clenched his fists tightly, "What San'er said before does have some truth, the prince and his henchmen are not good people."
"Qin Yong, you go to Yong'an Square to meet Xia San'er, and tell him to contact the King of Qin, and tell him that I want to see the King of Qin."
"Why didn't the adoptive father contact the Qin Palace directly?"
"When it's critical, it's better to be cautious. It's more convenient for Sanlang to contact you. You need to hurry up, time is running out." Qin Qiong sighed. He didn't want to go to this step, but now he is getting deeper and deeper, and wants to stay out of the matter. It is also impossible.
Qin Yong rejoiced, "I also felt that the crown prince is not a Mingjun, but the King of Qin is more like a Mingjun. His foster father has been under the King of Qin for seven years, so he should support the King of Qin."
"Hey, I just wanted to be a good minister of the country, but what can I do."
After Qin Yong left, Qin Qiong kept saying over and over again, ‘Xingyang Zheng, Xingyang Zheng, what a Xingyang Zheng, if you reject your Zheng daughter, do you want to buy murder? '
"If you are the first grader, don't blame me for the fifteenth grade!"
After finishing speaking, Qin Qiong patted it down with one palm, and several cases that were good in one piece were immediately torn apart.
