When Yang Ji came back from the war, he first stepped on the brazier in front of the door, and then his servants sprinkled water on him with grapefruit leaves. Then he could enter. After entering, he soaked in a large bathtub filled with various evil-proof objects until he washed up. After getting rid of the legendary evil spirits and evil spirits, he put on a new suit of clothes and went to the small hall of the main courtyard where the "celebration banquet" was held.
The only people participating in the celebration banquet were the three of them.
My mother, Dugu Min, was originally from the family, but after she heard the news about the capital move at noon, she couldn't sit still. As early as two years ago, she had invested all her family property in Luoyang according to her son's suggestion, and even invested the rewards that her son had received one after another. Today, she finally received the good news of moving the capital to Luoyang, and she was immediately ecstatic, but At the same time, she was worried that the dog officials would turn her land into theirs, so she didn't even bother to see her son, so she led a large team of people to Luoyang to take charge.
Liu Rumei is no longer a concubine. After she was canonized as a third-grade imperial concubine, Xiao Ying nominated her as a concubine. With the approval of Zongzheng Temple, she officially became a member of the royal family. Her status as a concubine is higher than that of a concubine. Above the concubine, there are two unique levels: princess and side concubine. If compared to the concubine system in the palace, her status in the palace is equivalent to that of the ninth concubine.
After all, she is still a concubine. But no matter what, she, a high-ranking concubine, can be regarded as one of the mistresses in the palace. Now she can not only enjoy the title of "Madam" with peace of mind in social situations both inside and outside the house, but she also has the qualification to be buried in the ancestral graveyard after her death. If she is a concubine, even if she is favored during her lifetime, she cannot be buried in the ancestral grave after her death.
Tonight, because there were so few people attending the dinner, the "celebration banquet" held by Xiao Ying was just a round table, and the main course was a casserole with boiling water and aroma on the charcoal fire.
Although the hot pot is relatively simple, the side dishes prepared by Xiao Ying are not simple. In addition to the condiments such as the backbone of the iron-eating beast and ginger, garlic and onion segments that are already in the pot, there are also iron-eating beast paws, tiger meat, deer spine, Lamb items, goose tongue, shrimp, beef, etc.
But the first thing that came up was a lush, meaty five-spice plate, which contained five kinds of vegetables: garlic, garlic, leeks, brassicas, and coriander. It is said that eating the five-spice plate can disperse the evil spirits and evil spirits in the five internal organs, etc. Yang Ji and Liu Rumei ate once each first, then the maid brought the dipping sauce and various side dishes to the table, then bowed and left.
Although Yang Ji understood Yang Guang's difficulties, he also felt that he was wise in not punishing Yu Wenshu, but after all, he was the victim who was almost killed by Yu Wenshu. Whenever he thought about the criminals who caused him to go unpunished, he felt depressed. Now that I'm back home, looking at my little wife who is happily enjoying herself, eating the fragrant and warm hot pot, and drinking a glass of yellow chrysanthemum glutinous rice wine, I feel a little better.
Xiao Ying took a piece of fresh mutton and scalded it in the hot pot. She looked at her husband with a pair of beautiful eyes and asked softly: "Mr. Lang, I heard that someone impeached you some time ago. Could it be that the saint punished you?"
When Lang Jun came home, Xiao Ying could tell that he was not in high spirits. If she had followed her past temperament, she would not have asked. Because she used to think that when a man is wronged outside, he doesn’t like to come back and tell his woman, so as not to weaken the man’s prestige. When a man is wronged outside, he will always find ways to find an excuse. If his woman inquires about it, she will only let him know. He was upset and even vented his unknown karmic anger on her.
But after marrying into the Yang family, she didn't think so. First of all, the Yang family's family tradition was rough and majestic, which was completely opposite to the Xiao family's family tradition of believing that women should not participate in politics and strict hierarchy. Secondly, her husband and mother-in-law were open-minded and encountered trouble. When she is young, she likes to discuss strategies and solve problems with her relatives. This sense of enlightened participation makes her feel that she is a person with a soul and a thoughtful person, rather than a submissive puppet. She now feels that if she knows her husband is in trouble and unhappy but doesn't ask, then she is not a qualified wife.
Of course, if her husband is unwilling to tell her, she will not foolishly dig into the details, causing her husband to become even more annoyed.
"Impeach me?" Yang Ji felt very surprised and asked, "I am leading troops to fight outside, why do you want to impeach me?"
Xiao Ying smiled and said: "According to my sister, there are many imperial censors who impeached the king and killed the general before the battle."
When Yang Ji heard that this was the case, he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he was more interested in another piece of information revealed by Xiao Ying: "Have you gone to ask my sister-in-law?"
"I was a little worried about Mr. Lang, so I went to the palace to ask!" Xiao Ying put the pieces of meat into the condiment bowl with a faint smile on her face.
Yang Ji was very happy when he heard this. His wife knew how to use the back door and have connections. This was a good thing! He said: "Impeachment or anything like that is not a problem in our family. If someone is successfully impeached, I will come to thank his ancestors for eighteen generations."
Xiao Ying was startled again, and then thought of Yang Ji's current position as a state pastor, and the former Bingzhou Chief Manager Yang Liang, who had rebelled against him. She couldn't help but be slightly stunned, pondered for a while, and asked with some worry: "Lang Jun, this state pastor, is no problem. Bar?"
"No problem, but I can't push it away!" Yang Ji smiled bitterly and recounted the conversation between him and Yang Guang exactly.
Although Xiao Ying and Liu Rumei knew that Yang Guang seemed to have a good relationship with Yang Guang, when they heard that he actually used Yang Liang as an example to explain the harm of being a Liangzhou shepherd, they both widened their eyes in disbelief and stared blankly. With Yang Ji.
My husband is so brave! He even said such words in front of the emperor. However, what made them find it even more incredible was that the emperor just followed his example. As a result, instead of removing him from his post, he was forced to continue to be the state herdsman and the most valuable place in the new capital of Luoyang was sold to him.
However, Yang Ji was neither grateful nor appreciative. He desperately wanted to step down from all official positions and pursue the unrestrained state of being without an official position. However, the emperor's behavior was also quite strange. Not only did he not agree, but he refused. They wanted to give him an official position and forced him to become a state shepherd.
This inexplicable, messy but very real and frank way of getting along with each other has no basis and really subverts their sisters' understanding of the relationship between monarch and minister.
After being silent for a long time, Xiao Ying suddenly had a flash of light in her mind and suddenly thought: "Lang Jun holds a high position and is in charge of the military affairs of a state, but he is still straightforward and sincere and has never lost his innocence. Lang Jun's noble character sets off the officials of the Manchu Dynasty. He has an abominable face and is bent on pursuing his own interests, so the saint has great faith in Mr. Lang."
Although Xiao Ying did not express her feelings, Yingying looked at her husband with eyes filled with admiration, admiration and pride.
When she finally learned that her husband was unhappy because he was almost killed by Yu Wenshu, but Yu Wenshu got away with it, she was furious. She thought angrily for a while and gave her husband an idea: "Zhi Rou" When water meets a solid rock, it will circle around, and Yu Wenshu is a solid rock, but I heard that he has two sons who are like mud. If Mr. Lang breaks down the mud beside the solid rock, the solid rock will not be stable."
Yang Ji raised his head, looked at Xiao Ying, who had a pretty face and was tense, and suddenly said: "You mean to repay the other person with his own way? Use Yu Wenshu's conspiracy to deal with Yang Su to deal with Yu Wenshu?"
"Exactly!" Xiao Yingguang is as gentle as water, but she is not a bad person. Yu Wenshu wants to kill her husband, which is no different from killing her. How can she be polite to such an enemy of life and death? ? Seeing that her husband had understood what he meant, he analyzed: "Yu Wenshu has the merit of supporting him and is the most trusted minister of the saint. Moreover, he is deeply rooted and luxuriant in the court, which is beyond the reach of Lang Jun at present." The key is that the sage already knows that he framed Lang Jun. If Lang Jun targets Yu Wenshu at this time and collects evidence of his crime, the sage will know at a glance that it is revenge. No matter how much the sage trusts Lang Jun, he will still have a grudge. , even if Lang Jun was lucky enough to defeat Yu Wenshu and suppress him temporarily, he was completely defeated in the heart of the saint. As long as Yu Wenshu did not die, he could make a comeback with the help of his support and huge power. At that time, Lang Jun, In the minds of saints, it is no longer what it is now.”
"What the lady said is absolutely true." Yang Ji nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Naturally, he was not willing to let go of his enemy. However, he had just returned to Beijing today, and on the way more than 12 cars of evidence were weighing heavily, and he could not calm down at all. Thinking of revenge plans. The reason why he talked about this at the dinner table was mainly to remind his wives to be careful about women from the Yuwen family at gatherings of noble ladies in the future; at the same time, he was also complaining to vent their frustration.
Unexpectedly, he just started, and the eldest wife came up with a good way to attack Yu Wenshu. When he carefully savored the phrase "the softest water will circle around when it meets a solid stone" and the conduct of Yu Wenji and Yu Wenzhiji, he felt that the strategy of "repaying others with their own way" has great potential.
Liu Rumei heard this silently, and when she saw Yang Ji was silent, she couldn't help but said: "Madam, Yuwen's father and son share honor and disgrace after all, and they are one and the same. If Lang Jun attacks those two weights of mud, no matter how hard he says, Is it the same?"
Xiao Ying smiled low and pointed: "It would be the same if those two weights of mud were not in official positions and had no official titles! But Yu Wenhuaji is the servant Shaoqing, and Yu Wenzhiji is the Duke of Puyang County who was given the title by his father's merits. , If Lang Jun finds someone wrong in his official duties, he is doing it for the sake of the country, and it will still hit Yu Wenshu who is not strict in teaching, and at the same time, he can avoid the suspicion of deliberate revenge. "
Liu Rumei was confused when she heard this. She still didn't understand the trick and didn't understand the difference.
Yang Ji saw that she was confused, so he smiled and said: "I used to be the right guard general, the governor of Liangzhou, the general manager of Liangzhou, and the military governor of Liangzhou. If one of me neglected his duties, the other three would also Being implicated. This is the relationship between Yuwen and his son, but they are less implicated."
Liu Rumei suddenly realized it and said in admiration: "I understand! Madam is really amazing."
Xiao Ying smiled sweetly. In fact, starting from Yu Wenji and Yu Wenzhiji, the most harmed was not the two brothers, nor Yu Wenshu's position and status, but Yu Wenshu's body.
Yu Wenshu was an old man who was nearly sixty years old. His health was deteriorating day by day. At his age, what he feared most was not death, but unfilial sons and unfilial sons and no successors. As the third child, Yuwen Zhiji is just fine. If Yu Wenhuaji, the eldest son, remains stubborn and makes repeated mistakes, Yuwen Shu will definitely become furious and angry because of his eldest son's repeated indoctrination, which will make his The time of death is further advanced.
If Yang Ji starts from the Yuwen family and attacks the cunning Yuwenshu again and again, it will be like feeding Yuwenshu poison again and again.
It's just that the consequences are not as sinister and vicious as usual, so although Xiao Ying thought of it, she didn't dare to say it.
However, Xiao Ying did not say anything, but Yang Ji said with a smile: "Yuwenshu is at the age of dying. If he keeps attacking these two mud weights, Yuwenshu may die of anger and death!"
"..." Xiao Ying suddenly opened her bright eyes, and he said the benefit she just thought of. Is this a tacit understanding?
She felt delighted for a while, then nodded solemnly: "It's very possible."
"My wife is so clever! It has relieved my husband's worries. Just ask for any reward." Yang Ji's depression was gone. He had a general direction for dealing with Yu Wenshu, and the details could be completed word by word with his staff.
Xiao Ying said with joy, "I don't want any reward. As long as I help Mr. Lang, I will be satisfied!"
"I, the Wolf Lord, have always been clear about rewards and punishments!" Yang Ji's eyes fell on her pair of towering peaks, and he said with a smile: "I will reward you with a child tonight, how about it?"
Xiao Ying's fair face rose up with red clouds, and a blush quickly climbed up her cheeks. The towering mountains were like her chaotic heart, rising and falling slightly in Yang Ji's eyes.
Liu Rumei blushed, but pretended not to know, she quickly ate the rice in the bowl, and then said: "Young Master, Madam, I've finished eating, let's go first..."
"Where are you going? Sit down for me, Mr. Lang!" Yang Ji pretended to be the head of the family and said with a straight face: "It is natural for husband and wife to share the same room and bed. Why are you ashamed? You have also made great contributions to your husband. I will reward you equally."
"..." Xiao Ying and Liu Rumei's faces turned redder, but the two women did not object. Because this is not the first time, when Liu Rumei was still a concubine, neither Yang Ji nor Xiao Ying avoided her.
This was not an exception in the Sui Dynasty. The male and female masters of wealthy families generally did not avoid getting close to their maids when they had sex. The masters were also accustomed to treating them as an object rather than a thoughtful person.
Yang Ji's place is considered to be a good place, he can only have a threesome at the moment. And some people are exaggerating. During sex, they need a large team of maids and maids to hold tea and water, dance for fun, and help wipe sweat...
This was the social custom of the Sui Dynasty and had nothing to do with law or morality.
But it’s a bit draining.
