"To take a concubine as your wife means that you will be deprived of all your fame and be exiled for three thousand miles. If you do not respect your biological mother or your legitimate mother, you will be considered disobedient and you will lose your official position and nobility. Your descendants will never be allowed to take the imperial examination." Zhang Zhen gave the third master a fake smile and said, "Three Uncle, does fourth uncle want to do this?"
"The imperial law also stipulates that if the aunt has children or grandchildren, she can be straightened up." The eldest son of the third family said hurriedly.
"Second brother, read more books!" Mayor Zhang sighed, "If the old man is away and there is no aunt, and the concubine separates the family and leaves the house, the aunt can leave the house with her biological son to support him. If there is a male grandson, that is You can be called your mother; if your descendants are successful, you can also ask the court to be named your legitimate mother or biological mother. It is just to ask for the title, not to support you. Do you understand what it means?
The premise is that the Hou family is divided, the grandparents are gone, and the aunt and grandmother are not maids and concubines. The aunt no longer has to serve the master and his wife, and can be taken out of the house by her own son to support them. If she has a grandson, she can let her son call her 'Mother'. But this is not correcting, it is just respecting filial piety, and it is also because the status allows. Generally, this situation applies to a good concubine who has no children;
Second, if the third uncle or the fourth uncle is ready to be granted the title of Marquis, you can ask the court to grant the title to the third generation. If he is a concubine, he can also apply to the court for a title that is lower than that of his legitimate mother. It's not about straightening things up, but how to put it, becoming a second wife with status.
My grandfather said before his death that this generation of the Hou family cannot be separated. So, this is my great-grandmother's home, and there is only one old lady here, who is my great-grandmother. The third and fourth masters are also the concubines of their grandmothers. The third and fourth masters are of course the masters, but the old aunt is still a slave. This is also the reason why my grandfather didn't dare to say it, and my uncle didn't dare to do it either. "
"The old lady has died a long time ago!" The fourth master said coldly, "We brothers should just take care of my mother."
The fourth master happened to be sitting under Zhang Shangshu. Zhang Shangshu slapped the fourth master to the ground. Having been in the Ministry of Punishment for many years, he carried a sense of dignity. He directly ordered to his subordinates, "Take the fourth master to the ancestral hall. No dinner is allowed. Reflect on yourself!"
"Second brother!" The third master stood up hurriedly.
"Go and kneel at the memorial tablets of your parents. In this mansion, in the lobby where my mother once sat, it is unfilial to say such treacherous words to my mother's spirit. You want me to send him to the Yamen to play thirty boards, Dai Jia will be exiled for ten years, and his descendants will not be allowed to take the imperial examination from now on; should he be sent to the clan, his clan status will be removed, and he will be driven out of the prince's mansion?" Zhang Shangshu already understood what his son meant, and they had nothing to do with the old man's last words. However, the national law and the patriarchal law , national law takes precedence. I have worked in the Ministry of Justice for so many years in vain. Sure enough, I am still not as smart as the young people.
This is Changlinghou Mansion. The only person who can call the third and fourth masters "mother" here is the first two generations of Changlinghou's wife. This is why Gang Zhangzhen said that if the family cannot be separated, the only mother the third and fourth masters can honor is the first lady's tablet. If you dare to take your aunt back to the Hou Mansion to be filial, you are being unfilial. It really makes sense wherever you say it.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Zhang Hou and Zhang Shangshu had been annoying them to death for a long time. They wanted to drive them away and they had not stopped for more than ten years. This time the fourth child's mistake is found, and the fourth child can be kicked out of the first room without any effort. Read the book
"Why don't you go kneel in the ancestral hall?" The third master hurriedly kicked the fourth master, but he was very sober. If the fourth master was driven away, it would not be far away when he was driven away. And if you drive them away like this, you really don’t need to divide any property.
The fourth master was taken down, and the people in the fourth room looked around, wanting to beg for mercy, but they didn't dare. After all, they just talked for a long time, saying that the old aunt and grandma are slaves, and you don't want to cut them off, but you still want to move forward. Aren't you looking for something boring?
Zhang Zhen lowered his head and smiled, okay, another KO. Only the third master is left. However, there is the flaw of family background. It is impossible to bring my old aunt back.
He is not Bai and Jia She. Jia Zhen and the others are all human beings. In fact, is an old aunt very troublesome? It's not troublesome to say it's troublesome, just like what Jia She asked at the beginning, is it a slave status? Do you have a physical contract? If so, there is no need to say anymore, he is just a slave.
If it were the previous dynasty, the slave status might not be as strict as it is now. However, after the establishment of this dynasty, the royal family attached great importance to domestic slaves, and then the status of slaves experienced a perverted development and restriction.
Development means that being a slave to a wealthy family is more important than
Seventh grade official. Think about the servants of those wealthy families, which one is willing to leave?
But it is also restricted to the point of perversion. Just like a slave relying on a piece of contract paper, his life is not his life. Their life, death, and even emotions belong to the master's family. There is absolutely no freedom at all.
The restriction means that this dynasty treats its slaves as part of itself. Just because you treat yourself as one of your own, you actually control yourself more strictly. As long as you dare to betray, you will never be reincarnated!
That's why Jia She and Jia Zhen didn't care. As long as they had the slave contract in hand, even if they were beaten to death, the government wouldn't care. For example, in the case of Lai's family affairs, who in Beijing doesn't say that the Jia family is kind, but in fact, they still despise the Jia family and say that the Jia family is weak. Even Shuntian Mansion felt that the Jia family was wasting public funds by sending their slaves to Shuntian Mansion. If you beat him to death at home, it will be over.
Of course, for someone like an old aunt who has given birth to a child, raised it, married a wife and had children, she should be careful in her approach. Because this is not an aunt's problem, but a son's problem.
Otherwise, Jia Zhen would not make trouble against the six aunts of the Jia family. Slapping my aunt in the face is nothing. The point is, what do you two think? If you mess with my mother, you are actually slapping my son in the face. This will make people hate you! People will also say that the Hou Mansion is mean and unkind. Affect the reputation of the house! Unexpectedly, the six aunts and uncles of the Jia family were all sent to Zhuangzi to be taken care of, and they didn’t have any children yet.
Therefore, if a big family gives birth to a son, either the son will die or the mother will die. If both parties are alive, the two dandies of the Jia family also think that the Zhang family is a magical existence. So their second generation Hou is as confused as Jia Zheng? Of course, this cannot be said in front of Zhang Zhen. Moreover, the second-generation marquis was not as good as Jia Zheng, and Tanchun was remembered as a child.
And Zhang Zhen also understood that he had actually studied similar situations in Beijing and China. Normally, this would give some dignity. Nor would I treat such an aunt as a slave. After all, he has a son.
Waiting for the master to go, if there is an old lady, who is not so stiff, give her some reward and let her follow the children out of the house. Have a relaxing few days! If the son had become a child, life would actually not be so difficult. In fact, to put it bluntly, if your son doesn’t treat you as a slave, no one can treat you as a slave?
So Zhang Zhen was really rude when he chased his aunt and hit her today. It's not that I was rude to my aunt, but I was rude to my third and fourth uncles. But I also know that they will not come out to help the old aunt. When something happens, they will rush the old aunt to the front and let the old aunt rush to the front. But they never wanted to admit that the old aunt was their biological mother. They will only feel that she is a drag and that she is the woman who has put them in embarrassment.
So as long as they keep saying that they are slaves, they can send the old aunt away. And I never think about taking it back again.
But these people don't even think about why they are so comfortable in this mansion. If it weren't for the old aunt and grandma who helped them charge, the uncle would be too lazy to fight with them. As long as it doesn't hurt their dignity, they can usually get what they want. Now that the old aunt is gone, I can convince people with reason.
