"There is a girl from the Dajia family who wants to come to visit you. However, she is limited by her reputation and does not dare to visit without authorization. Therefore, I have asked you to come and inquire about your wishes." Zhang Pingqi put down the tea cup and explained the purpose of her visit softly.
Since her successful visit to Shengyuan, Zhang Pingqi has come to sit there from time to time.
The frequency of her visits was well-chosen, so that they would not become unfamiliar with each other due to too long intervals, nor would they be too frequent to offend Sheng Yuan.
Speaking of which, Zhang Pingqi is also a wonderful person. When she comes to visit, she never seems boring, nor is she overly flattering, nor is she talkative. She tells Shengyuan a lot about the customs, customs, and people's livelihood in the border towns and Jiangnan. All kinds of things and anecdotes, this is one of the reasons why she can contact Sheng Yuan calmly. .z.
As for Sheng Yuan, she was open to Zhang Pingqi's approach, although Mrs. Zhang's behavior was somewhat inconsistent with her experience.
"The girl of the great Jia family? She is the one who controls the rich pastures and has countless cattle, horses and sheep?"
Zhang Pingqi's eyes moved slightly when he heard the words: "Guarding Anjia, there are flocks of cattle and sheep everywhere, and there are endless pastures. A Rong also presented him."
Sheng Yuan nodded clearly.
Otherwise, everyone likes to talk to smart people, it’s just fun!
"What do you call that girl? Why do you think I care about her reputation?"
"So that the Master of the House may know that the daughter of the Great Jia family, whose single name is 'Shang,' is now the only daughter of the direct branch of the Great Jia family. When she was fifteen years old, she was given to a wealthy family in Shou Ping City. But she disappeared a month before the wedding, and when she was found again, she was already pregnant.
Because of this incident, the wealthy man in Shou Ping City made a fuss and broke off the engagement, and then there was even more tit-for-tat confrontation. Da Jia was too tired to deal with it, and for a while he didn't care about her and asked her to run away again.
When she came back, she had a swaddled baby boy in her arms. She went back and persuaded his father to abandon his adopted brother from his concubine and instead raise a grandson. "
"..." Listening to the fierce style of the border town girl, Sheng Yuan was amazed and felt that she was a bumpkin from Kyoto.
"Then Da Jia will admit it?"
"How is this possible?" Zhang Pingqi said with a hint of smile, "It's just that Jia Shang has a loose and aggressive temperament, and the family wanted to deal with her having a child out of wedlock, so she yelled that it was someone in the family who wanted to embezzle the legitimate family property. , and even sent people to make trouble at the government office.
Our Da Chu continues the system of Yan and Chen. The law clearly prohibits families from using clan rules as an excuse to deal with clan members without authorization. It also stipulates that clan rules cannot override the law. Anyone who disobeys or fails to report the knowledge will be punished and even be punished down to the village. The chiefs, li chiefs, and even the chief officials and auxiliary officials of prefectures and counties will all be affected.
Therefore, Jia Chang, who was familiar with the law, was not afraid of the family's evil hands. In the end, he took away her dowry and the dowry of the Jia family's mistress. "
At this point, as if she was afraid that Sheng Yuan would have opinions about Jia Chang, Zhang Pingqi hurriedly added: "Although she took away two dowries, it was not because she was greedy. A girl who had just established a female household also brought a child. , it is not easy to establish a foothold in a border town. The matron of the Jia family has only had such a daughter for most of her life, so she is naturally willing to subsidize it.
And Jia Shang was quite considerate. After she had her own property, Shi Chang took the Jia family's mistress to her house to play, and even told her that if the Jia family passed to her stepson in the future, she would give her biological mother to her. Received to live in his own house for retirement. "
"..."
Sheng Yuan wanted to know what the head of the Jia family thought.
