"Now that my family is not well-off, the charcoal in each yard has been reduced by two ounces."
The steward said.
Before Tang Hao was stupid, he naturally had no need for such things as charcoal.
Monks are impervious to cold and heat, and ordinary seasonal changes do not affect them.
Therefore, these charcoal are all for the mortal servants of the Tang family.
"The Tang family is also a family of immortal cultivators. Can't they even afford some charcoal for mortals? Is it because the family is not well-off, or are you lining your own pockets?"
Shen Ping'an snorted coldly.
"Miss Shen, please calm down. As you know, the budget allocated to mortals is only so small. Now that several new mortal aunts have come in, the amount of money allocated has not increased. Isn't there less money to be spread to everyone?" ?”
The steward quickly apologized and smiled.
Tang Hao was in a daze, aunt?
Yes, he remembered that the elders in the family did take in many concubines, many of them mortal women.
It's just that the life of a monk is long and endless. These mortal women can only live for a hundred years at most, and their flowering period can only be twenty years at most. If they enter the palace at an older age, they will grow old and lose their beauty in ten years at most.
Those who use sex to serve others will lose their lust and love.
This is the truest portrayal of these mortal women.
After the flowering period, they will be left out in the cold and reduced from aunt to servant.
This is the fate of these women.
Shen Ping'an frowned when she heard this, but she didn't make things difficult for her. She just left here, then turned around and arrived at Xina's aunt's yard.
This courtyard is filled with mortal concubines who were brought in before.
Tang Hao followed Shen Ping'an and the first thing he saw was an old woman wiping another girl's body.
The girl's belly was round and she was obviously about to give birth.
"You are also very lucky. At this time, you actually dare to let the old man do whatever you want."
The old woman was chattering while helping the girl wipe herself.
"Aunt Xue, we are all the playthings of the masters. If the masters want it, how can we refuse?"
The girl sighed, and when she moved, she showed traces of mess all over her body.
The red marks in some places have turned purple, and it was obvious that those people were working very hard at that time.
Tang Hao just glanced at it and guessed how the traces were made.
"Same, gentlemen, you are about to give birth..."
"Aunt Snow."
The girl was born and stopped the old woman from continuing.
What could they say no to?
Those people are monks and immortals. They are just mortals without any ability. In front of the immortals, they are even worse than ants.
The immortal wanted her to be his concubine, so she had to be carried into the house on a small sedan chair at the age of twelve or thirteen.
If the immortal wanted to stimulate her when she was about to give birth, she could only bear it with her heavy body.
Mortals like them are just the playthings of immortals.
When he got tired of playing with it, he threw it aside.
There are only a few people who can live happily until old age like Aunt Xue.
Seeing that the girl was about to turn over again, Tang Hao hurriedly walked away, saying "don't look at anything inappropriate".
"Sister, I have something growing there again."
"I can only hold it up as it grows. I really envy the old men. They are monks and will not be troubled by the illnesses of mortals."
"I don't want to be a concubine, I want to go home!"
…
There are all women in this courtyard.
After seeing a few of them, Tang Hao immediately didn't dare to wander around and hurriedly returned to Shen Ping'an.
Shen Ping'an did not enter the courtyard, but stood at the entrance of the courtyard. After stopping for a moment, he left.
Not long after, a servant came to deliver charcoal.
Tang Hao looked at Shen Pingan. Shen Pingan was probably just hiding her strength. She obviously had the strength to save these women from suffering, so why not save them?
Tang Hao used to be the pride of the entire Tang family. Since his stupidity, everyone has been able to step on him.
Especially the people who were suppressed by Tang Hao's name in the past. After Tang Hao became stupid, they came to provoke him whenever they had nothing to do.
Shen Ping'an still looked lazy on weekdays, and silly Tang Hao still squatted on the ground and played in the mud when he had nothing to do.
But he played quite cleanly - mainly because he used water and mud, and only got it on his hands and not on his body.
"Oh my, isn't this our Tang Tianjiao? Why are you playing with mud here?"
Tang Hao knew this man, he was his second brother.
——Not a relative, maybe a cousin?
Silly Tang Hao ignored him and continued to play in the mud.
"Is this piss and mud? Our Tang Tianjiao will also have this day."
However, the cousin did not intend to let Silly Tang Hao go. He grabbed Silly Tang Hao's collar and glared at Silly Tang Hao fiercely.
Tang Hao couldn't help but look at Shen Pingan, who was still shaking his cattail leaf fan slowly and leisurely without any movement.
It's like he didn't see it.
Nowadays, Tang Hao is a fool. No matter what his cousin says, he doesn't resist. The feeling of being punched on cotton makes his cousin even more angry.
This fool!
"Second cousin, instead of going to the secret realm to seek opportunities, is it fun to bully fools here?"
Just when the man was about to punch silly Tang Hao, Shen Ping'an slowly spoke out.
"Secret realm, what secret realm?"
The second cousin was suddenly stunned.
"Hasn't my second cousin been to the secret place where all the young members of the Tang family go?"
"Tang Hao has been there since he was eight years old."
Shen Ping'an looked at her second cousin with a smile. After a moment, she seemed to suddenly think of something again with a surprised expression on her face.
"Could it be that my second cousin doesn't know about this secret realm? Tang Hao had a great opportunity in it back then..."
The more Shen Ping'an spoke, the uglier his second cousin's expression became. Finally, he dropped Silly Tang Hao and turned around to leave.
Tang Hao looked at this scene and was silent for a moment.
No, why didn't he know that the Tang family still had such a secret realm?
He had to see what was going on!
He quickly followed his second cousin and left.
Shen Ping'an, who was waving a cattail leaf fan, called his servants and ordered them to clean silly Tang Hao.
Playing in the mud every day is so dirty!
When Tang Hao didn't become stupid, Tang Hao's branch of the family was the dominant one. But after Tang Hao became stupid, the Tang family began to fall apart.
Now Tang Hao's eldest uncle and second uncle are vying for the position of the leader of the Tang family. This second cousin is the child of Tang Hao's second uncle.
They were on guard against each other, and both wanted to be the only person in power in the Tang family.
And not long after, the second cousin died.
He died in the whirlpool of the Tang family's struggle for power.
Tang Hao stayed in the illusion of Death Lake for seven years, watching everyone in the Tang family constantly fighting for power. Only his and Shen Ping'an's small courtyard was free from the whirlpool of the Tang family and was safe.
And those concubines that Tang Hao had seen also ran away in corners where no one was paying attention. Only some who were greedy for something were left and were willing to stay in the Tang family.
After a while, Tang Hao watched Silly Tang Hao's body getting better day by day, and finally realized that the day when he sobered up was coming.
Obviously he is still very young, but now when he recalls the past events, it seems as if a layer of fog has been applied on them, making him unable to see anything clearly.
And during Tang Hao's countdown, silly Tang Hao woke up.
The first thing that silly Tang Hao did when he woke up was to divorce his wife.
