Looking at his two little children, Puchi hesitated.
Do you want to survive or have children?
They have young children, the youngest is only three years old.
But now there are too many children and the family is really poor. It is really difficult for Awo to support the family alone.
Hearing the heartbreaking cries of his two little girls, Pu Chi couldn't help but shed tears.
"The two of them are still young. Of course, they don't go to formal schools, but to kindergartens. There are all children about the same age as them." Xiao Huadong explained anxiously when he saw the painful expressions of the mother and daughter.
After hearing this, Guge spoke: "Let Cidan and Cangjue go to kindergarten. Cidan is the elder brother and can take care of his sister Cangjue and not let others bully her."
"Ah, ah, I don't want to leave you." When she heard that Gu Ge wanted her to study, she cried even harder.
Although Tsetan didn't speak, he kept crying.
When Pu Chi heard this, his heart softened.
These two children have never left her side when they have grown up.
Even when she works, she has two young children with her.
Seeing Pu Chi's uncomfortable look, Xiao Huadong shook his head and shouted to a Tibetan woman in her thirties next to him: "Sang Mu, do you have any idea?"
Zhaojiazhuang has set up a kindergarten to take in these three to five-year-old children.
Qiangba and Sangmu were husband and wife, both Chaba, and their children were skinned and killed by lamas.
The two were in extreme pain at the time. They were so old that they felt that life was meaningless and wanted to commit suicide to follow their children.
After repeated persuasion from the security team, the two reluctantly agreed.
But when they saw their children's graves, they were in great pain.
The greatest pain in the world is when a white-haired person gives away a black-haired person, and it happens that the person who dies is their only child.
Considering their pain of losing their children and their great fondness for children, they were appointed as deputy principals and teachers of the kindergarten.
The two of them couldn't help but be overjoyed when they received this task.
Although they lost their biological children, they had children to take care of them, temporarily comforting their lonely and painful hearts.
Seeing the two children in front of me not wanting to leave, it was indeed a bit difficult to handle.
Sam thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he returned to the kindergarten half a mile away.
About halfway through the incense stick, Sang Mu held hands with the two children.
The two children were about the same age as Cidan and Cangjue, and they jumped all the way.
When the two saw Cidan and Cangjue, they couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Cidan, Cangjue, why did you come here?"
Cidan and Cangjue were equally overjoyed when they saw the two of them.
"Norbu, Quzhen, where are you now?" The two of them came forward to welcome them and asked the two children.
Nobu and Quzhen looked at the two of them with smiles on their faces: "It's the kindergarten. There are a lot of things to play and food there. Go quickly, otherwise you will regret it."
The two couldn't believe it when they heard that there was both food and fun.
"Real or false?" Cidan put his finger in his hand and asked while eating his finger and drooling.
Although Cang Jue didn't speak, he still put his fingers in his hands and kept drooling.
Norbu and Quzhen stepped forward and took Cidan and Cangjue's hands respectively: "Of course it's true."
When the two heard that it was true, they immediately stepped forward to hold each other's hands, even the grandma had forgotten about it.
Pu Chi watched the two upset little guys leave, feeling happy for a while and a little sad for a while.
Seeing his two little children leaving, Guge's face changed drastically.
Because he saw that Norbu and Quzhen were not wearing paper clothes, but his children were still wearing paper clothes.
Thinking that in kindergarten, only my children wear paper clothes, and the others wear sweaters, not only do I feel inferior, but my children also feel inferior.
With a bang, he knelt down in front of Xiao Huadong and kowtowed to Xiao Huadong: "Master, I want to ask you something!"
"Anything, as long as it can be done, it doesn't matter." Xiao Huadong encountered this kind of thing many times. Although he was a little panicked, he finally calmed down.
Hearing this, Guge couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Master, I need to advance one month's salary to buy some food and buy some clothes for my children." He kowtowed and begged.
He felt that he had gone too far and did not do any work. Instead, he made conditions and even asked for an advance payment of one month's salary in advance.
If these requests were made in Jialuo, several times the interest would be charged.
But there is no way now. Not only is the child very cold, but there is also no food at home. There is only this way.
Xiao Huadong looked at this person. His whole family was wearing paper clothes, and they had fainted just now because they had not eaten. They were obviously extremely poor.
Seeing Xiao Huadong thinking, Guge couldn't help being shocked: "Master, there is no food in the house, and the child is so cold that he is whimpering. Please, no matter how high the interest rate is, the villain will accept it."
"Give them three guans of money to buy food and clothing." Xiao Huadong withdrew his gaze and said to the clerk next to him.
"No." The clerk nodded and immediately took out the delivery card from the wooden box on the desk and handed it to Guge.
"Thank you, sir," Gu Ge took the pick-up card and couldn't help but shed tears. "This is life-saving money. How much is the interest?"
"Interest, this is life-saving money, don't ask for a penny of interest." Xiao Huadong shook his head and said kindly, "From now on, you will be a member of Zhaojiazhuang. Not only will you not charge interest, but you will also get a 10% discount on all things purchased in Zhaojiazhuang." .”
"Master, is this true or false? There is no interest on this, and a 10% discount on things purchased in Zhaojiazhuang?" Guge couldn't believe his ears and asked repeatedly.
Xiao Huadong nodded and comforted Guge: "Of course it's true. Just work hard and don't worry about interest."
"Well, thank you Manjusri Bodhisattva." Gu pulled Pu Chi and knelt down and bowed again to the statue of Zhao Ping on the table.
Guge's family was happy, but Pu Yi was not happy.
Pu Yi came to Tubo with the first purpose of being promoted to an official, and the second reason was to find a concubine.
Unexpectedly, not long after arriving in Tubo, his wife Punan and her family also came here.
Hearing that his wife was coming here, he immediately took a concubine, thinking of a fait accompli.
Of course, this concubine is not Han, but the daughter of a small nobleman, named Rajen.
Rajen was very young, only fourteen years old, only half the age of Pu Yi and not much older than his eldest daughter.
On the day of taking the concubine, Pu Yi treated her to a treat, which was also requested by the girl's parents.
Although it was a concubine, the girl's parents insisted that she should be married in accordance with Tubo customs.
As a colleague and friend, Xiao Huadong naturally attended the wedding.
Is a concubine worthy of such an effort?
Xiao Huadong thought that the woman was unwilling, but he didn't expect that the woman liked her so much.
Although Pu Yi does not have a chief clerk yet, he can become a regular chief clerk in one year at most.
Although Pu Yi is only the chief clerk of the Supervisory Government, he controls the entire business of Qingtang.
Although this is in name only, with the strength of Zhaojiazhuang, no one will not buy it.
Brother Ji is the prime minister, and he has tens of thousands of cavalry, which is powerful enough. Now he has reported to the underworld.
The Right Prime Minister Jia Luo was still the ascetic Bo who explained that secular and religious power were combined in one body, and his cavalry was not defeated by the security group.
Although Jia Luo makes small moves in private, on the surface he still has to carry out the orders of the Supervisory Government.
This is true for the two largest nobles in Qingtang, let alone other nobles.
Although they, these little aristocrats, may seem to have a good life, they are the first to be unlucky when trouble comes.
Seeing that Pu Yi was alone, this little nobleman named Gongbu couldn't help but be overjoyed and forced his little daughter into Pu Yi's hands.
As for the betrothal gift, Gongbu did not require it, but only asked that it be done in accordance with Tubo customs.
Hearing Gongbu's words, Xiao Huadong couldn't help but be stunned.
He bowed his hands to Pu Yi and said in a tone full of envy: "Brother Pu is very lucky."
"Being a brother is a blessing, and a good brother's blessing is even greater." Pu Yi returned the favor while glaring at Xiao Huadong.
Xiao Huadong felt baffled and felt that he had been wronged: "How can you say that you are so lucky? My fiancée is still in Xixian County, two thousand miles away from here. The only way to temporarily relieve the feeling of lovesickness is through Hongyan's letter."
"Lajia, do you know, brother Xian?" Pu Yi glanced at him and said lightly.
Xiao Huadong didn't understand the meaning of Pu Yi's words: "Laga, could it be that Laga who participated in politics as governor?"
"Exactly, he wants to recruit a good brother-in-law, and it is his most beautiful little daughter." Pu Yi glanced at Xiao Huadong and couldn't help but feel jealous.
This colleague was so lucky. There were beauties in Xi County, but he didn't expect that there were beauties in Tubo as well, and they were all people with good backgrounds.
Xiao Huadong shook his head, looking confused: "I already have a fiancée, doesn't Brother Pu know?"
"Brother Wei responded to La Jia in the same way. Brother Xian, how do you think La Jia responded?" Pu Yi asked Xiao Huadong with a wry smile.
Xiao Huadong thought for a while, and there was no doubt: "Lajia can only express regret, there is no fate."
"On the contrary, La Jia said that it is okay to have equal wives." After saying this, he couldn't help but feel jealousy in his eyes.
He was just a minor nobleman when he took a concubine. He didn't expect that Lajia would actually want his daughter to be Xiao Huadong's equal wife.
Although the common wife has a higher status than the concubine and has the right to inherit, she is still under the head wife.
Xiao Huadong shook his head and said decisively: "I only have one wife in this life, and that is Miss Ren."
Pu Yi couldn't believe that Xiao Huadong gave up on such an opportunity.
He looked at Xiao Huadong carefully and saw that his eyes were clear and his expression was resolute, and there seemed to be no fraud.
Mrs. Pu Yi finally came to Tubo with her three children, but she did not expect that her officials would come. It was a fait accompli.
Of course she was not bullied that way. She went directly to Wang Wenxiu and said that Pu Yi took a concubine without her consent.
In the Song Dynasty, according to the law, the consent of the principal wife was required to take a concubine.
Even if the head wife agrees, there are still laws and regulations.
First, he is over forty and his wife has no children, but Pu Yi now has a son.
The so-called childless, of course, refers to sons, not daughters.
There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having an heir. Men in the Song Dynasty found a reasonable excuse for taking concubines.
Secondly, taking a concubine must also go through the six rites process, but it is not necessary, and you still come in through a side door, and you cannot worship heaven and earth.
Without the consent of the head wife, the concubine can only be used as a concubine, and her son cannot enter the family tree and has no status.
Despite the rules, people are flexible.
If the head wife has no status and cannot speak harsh words, the husband can also take a concubine without asking for her opinion.
Pu Yi thinks that his status has improved, and since Pu Nan has always been obedient to him, there should be no problem.
Not to mention, in Tubo, he believed that he and the capital had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Not only was he promoted from a petty official to an official, but he also purchased a stone-cut building.
Of course, there is no Chinese style here like in the capital, but a Tubo style.
Even though it is a Tubo style building, it is still a three-story building.
Pu Nan was very happy to hear that the official was not only promoted to an official, but also purchased a building.
Officials can be said to have soared into the sky this time, and they can be proud and proud.
But when Mrs. Punan arrived at Tubo's house, she not only had a building, but also a concubine who was not much older than her aunt.
Seeing this young and beautiful lady, Pu Nan was furious.
She traveled thousands of miles and came here with her three children, under the stars and the moon, just to give Pu Yi a surprise.
She never expected that besides her joy, there was also a little lady who made her furious.
Pu Yi bought a building less than half a mile away from the Prison Government House for the convenience of work.
It was convenient for Pu Yi, and it was also convenient for his wife, Pu Nanshi.
She went directly to the gate of the Supervisory Office and was stopped by the guard.
The guard didn't recognize her. She signed up as Pu Yi's wife.
Hearing that she was the wife of Pu Yi, the merchant's official, the guard naturally did not dare to offend her and had no choice but to let her in.
Pu Nan climbed up the stairs and saw a big drum placed in front of the Jianguo Mansion building, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
As a woman who takes care of her husband and raises her children at home, she doesn't know much.
But after all, she was a woman from the capital, and she had already heard about the role of the big drum.
So she ran up, took off the drumstick, and started beating it hard.
Inside the Jianguo Mansion, Wang Wenxiu and three others were drinking tea.
Jialuo pressed forward step by step this time, first killing his own people to frame the security group, and then creating rumors, which really made the Supervisory Office very passive.
Wang Wenxiu, Yu Qishi, and Zheng Ding did not have a good night's sleep for several days. They constantly mobilized manpower and material resources to let believers enter the Zhaojiazhuang workshop one after another after believing in Manjushri Bodhisattva.
The three finally breathed a sigh of relief and drank tea to relieve their worries. Unexpectedly, someone was beating the drum outside.
"Who is it, actually beating the drum?" Zheng Ding put down the tea cup and was very shocked.
Yu Qishi nodded, equally puzzled: "Since the establishment of the Daguxin, this is the first time someone has been beating it."
"Being able to enter the Supervisor's Mansion to beat the big drum is obviously no small matter." Wang Wenxiu smiled bitterly, shook his head, sighed, and said heavily, "It seems not a good thing."
"What should I do?" Zheng Ding reluctantly opened his red eyes and looked at Wang Wenxiu.
Wang Wenxiu thought for a while and nodded: "The purpose of setting up the drum is to redress people's grievances. Let people come in."
Coming in from the gate, Pu Nan didn't dare to raise his head and moved forward slowly with fear.
Although she beat the drum in anger, she did not have the courage to complain, let alone meet the officials.
You know, Pu Nan usually stays at home to look after her husband and children, and rarely goes out.
If it hadn't been for Pu Yi taking a concubine with her consent this time, she might never have come to the government in her life.
Although she was trembling with fear, she had no choice but to speak out.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, knelt down in front of Wang Wenxiu and the others, lowered her head and said, "I'm going to report to the three adults. The civilian woman wants to file a complaint."
When the three of them took a look, they thought they knew this person, but they didn't expect that this woman didn't even know him.
"Who do you want to sue?" Wang Wenxiu asked in a deep voice after sizing her up.
Pu Nan didn't dare to raise his head at first, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head: "I want to report to the three adults that the Nu family is the Pu Nan family, and I want to sue Pu Yi, an official of the Nu family."
"You actually want to sue your own officials? Why are you suing?" Wang Wenxiu and the other three looked at each other with surprised expressions on their faces and asked in a deep voice.
Pu Nan straightened her somewhat messy hair and forced her chopsticks to calm down.
She took a breath and spoke aloud: "The slave family complained to the officials about taking concubines in private without the slave family's consent."
Pu Yi is the official of the commercial house. He manages the commercial house in an orderly manner and leaves a good impression on the three envoys.
The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Youdao is an honest official who can handle household affairs, but I didn't expect that I would encounter him now.
"Who did your officials accept without your consent?" Wang Wenxiu had no choice but to follow the steps and ask.
Pu Nan was overjoyed when she didn't see the envoy driving her out.
She became bolder and said clearly: "I'm telling you, the three of you, the officials of the slave family accepted a little Tibetan lady."
Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but frown.
It would be easier to deal with a Han lady, but it happens to be a Tubo lady.
"Do you know the identity of this little lady?" Wang Wenxiu thought for a while and asked tentatively.
Pu Nan thought for a while, knelt down and gave another Wanfu salute: "I'm telling you three adults, I heard that this young lady is the daughter of a small noble."
Wang Wenxiu couldn't help but frown even more when he heard this.
If she were an ordinary Tibetan lady, she would give her a little money and spend it, but this is the lady of a small noble.
A minor noble gave his daughter to Pu Yi as a concubine. It definitely had a purpose and could not be spent with money.
Now the Jianguo Mansion is trying its best to improve the relationship with Tubo, but at this time it encounters the problem of the merchants and house officials taking concubines.
Taking a concubine was originally a trivial matter, but after taking a concubine, the head wife jumped out and said that the concubine was taken without her consent.
If you return the concubine, you will definitely offend your relationship with the Tubo nobles.
If you don't return the concubine, it will be inconsistent with the law.
Thinking of this, the three of them felt dizzy.
Pu Yi, you have made things worse, Wang Wenxiu and the others thought as they looked at Pu Nan who was kneeling on the ground.
