Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

When this dynasty was founded, the founding queen ordered all these chastity archways to be smashed and destroyed.In the future, if it is discovered that someone intentionally forced the woman to keep virginity, she will be sentenced to exile or hanging according to the seriousness of the circumstances.An extremely harsh sentence.

In addition, since the founding of the country, many princesses and princesses of the royal family have remarried.The eldest prince Gaozu died early, and he was named Prince Huaisi after him.Because when the eldest prince died, he was not yet thirty, and his concubines were also young.

Therefore, the concubine Zhao, the side concubine Gao and several concubines remarried under the auspices of the royal family.

One of the concubines Tao's remarried finally even became the governor of a place.The two were loving husband and wife all their lives, and they gave birth to two sons and three daughters.

This Tao family only passed away two years ago, and many of his descendants are promising.

This is true of the royal family and nobles, and the gentry and the folk naturally follow suit.Furthermore, the government also encourages widows to remarry.

After the death of the husband, the wife has kept filial piety for her husband for one year. If there is a remarriage, the government will give the remarried woman a dowry ranging from five to fifteen strings of money according to the financial level of each region.

It is also common for scholar-official families to send maids and concubines to remarry.If it is a good concubine, the concubine certificate will be released and returned to the family, and another person will marry herself.If it is a maidservant, there are those who sell them, some who are directly allocated to others, and some who cancel the deed and order to find their husband's family.

In this dynasty concubines also have several different identities.Concubines who seem to be the side concubines of princes, county kings, and concubines who are registered in the royal family are noble concubines.

The prince has four concubines and eight concubines.The prince's son and the county king have two concubines and six concubines.Only the registered side concubines and concubines can be called legitimate concubines in terms of etiquette, and the rest are maidservants.

Duke Bo can accept six concubines.That is to say, it can be registered with the government, and a woman from a good family can be hired as a concubine, which is called a good concubine.If a daughter of a famous family is hired as a concubine, it is also called a noble concubine.

Generally, those who are willing to send their daughters to be noble concubines are either drafted by the royal family, recruited by the prince's family, or concubine daughters of the six or seven rank small officials' families.

Who is willing to be a concubine for a respectable lady from a famous family?That's called self-willing and degrading, and you will be stabbed in the back.

Concubines and concubines are not slaves in the family, and their legal status is also guaranteed.If the concubine dies for no reason, the concubine's family can report to the government.

First- and second-rank officials and viscount barons can take four concubines, third-rank officials can take two concubines, and fourth- and fifth-rank officials can take one concubine.Officials of the sixth rank and below have no children at thirty and can take a concubine.A common man who has no children at forty can take a concubine.

For example, the deeds of prostitution of Zheng and the others are all in Wen Jiao's hands, so they can only be regarded as maidservants, not concubines.Calling "Auntie" is just a good face, strictly speaking, it is still a slave.

If Bai Lu Baishuang and others let go of her deed in the future, even if she is a girl from a good family, her status will be higher than that of the Zheng family.

Even if high-ranking titles and officials are eligible to accept noble concubines, no one will hire a few good concubines to their home if they have nothing to do.

People in the world pay attention to being well-matched when they get married. Generally speaking, the wives of high-ranking families are also from noble backgrounds.Putting two good concubines whose wives don't have the right to dispose of them in the house, isn't it a slap in the face of the in-laws?

Unless the relationship between the husband and wife is broken and it is not easy to reconcile, or the aunt's health is not good, and there is no one to help at home.Only then did he carefully select good concubines to enter the mansion, help to have children, and serve as housekeepers and directors.

Therefore, the house of officials and concubines is still more desirable to choose from among slaves.The deeds are all in the hands of the mistress, if someone is not worried, or sent to the Zhuangzi or sold, even the master can't say too much.

Wen Jiao already had two ideas in mind, but considering the relationship between husband and wife, he still had to talk to Lin Hai.

When Lin Hai came back that night, he heard Wen Jiao talk about it.He didn't plan to go to Shen's and Cao's again, since that's the case, let them waste their youth, it's better to marry them all, so he smiled and said that they are all Yiyueniang.

Seeing that Lin Hai was so happy, Wen Jiao agreed, and he liked it in his heart.Reciprocating peaches and rewards made Lin Hai happy and ecstasy that night.

On the morning of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Wen Jiao sent away the sticky Lin Hai——Since the New Year, Lin Hai has become stickier than usual. When the two of them get along in private, their eyes often make Wen Jiao's face burn.

After finishing the few things with Daiyu, he ordered the people: "Someone tell Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Cao that I will look for them and let them take a nap before coming back."

Shen Shi has been locked up in the courtyard alone for almost a year and two months.

Although the supply is provided in four seasons, clothes and meals are still given to her according to the original rules.But Shen Shi is someone who likes to appreciate the beautiful scenery, every plant and tree can catch her eyes.

Shen was raised by Jia Min for several years, and she was also able to read and write. She became interested and wanted to recite a few lines of poetry.

Or in other words, she can't sit still in the house, and likes to go to the garden when she has nothing to do, wandering in the shadow of flowers and trees, looking at herself.

In the past, Jia Min didn't stick to his concubines, he went to the garden whenever he liked, and as long as he didn't go every day, he went with Shen.

After Jia Min left, there was no master in the backyard, and Shen Shi was like a bird out of a cage, going to the garden every day when the weather was good.

Now she has been locked up in a small square courtyard for more than a year, unable to go out. Although Shen has a lot of food and clothing, she is still a bit haggard and thin to the naked eye.

After listening to the family rules for more than a year, Shen felt aggrieved at first, but the more she listened to the truth, the more she realized that she was wrong.

The mistress is the mistress, and the maidservant is the maidservant.It is your duty to serve the mistress, but the mistress promotes you according to the mistress' wish.

It is not said that you want the mistress to promote you, and the mistress will promote you.Are you the master or is the wife the master?

The nanny who told her the rules and principles also told about other family affairs.Which family's maids and concubines have to get up before dawn in the morning, no matter how cold it is, they have to wait outside the main room to wait for the mistress to get up, and help the mistress to dress and wash, etc.

The mistress asks you to serve vegetables, but you can't even eat on time every day.I have to serve the mistress from morning to night all day long, so how can I go wherever I want?

Only then did Shen realize that the days when she was full of grievances and not seeing her master were already blessings that many people of her status could not even ask for.

There is no need to intrigue in the backyard, and if you stay peacefully, you can be well-clothed and well-fed, without worrying about food, clothing, and fun.

If you want to see the scenery, you can go to the garden, if you want to talk to someone, your girl has to rush to flatter you.

It's not like now, when you want to go out, there are always two women guarding the door.I want to talk to someone, but the courtyard is full of old women in their 60s and [-]s, with dim eyesight and wrinkled faces.

Shen's love is quiet, she has always disliked women with wrinkled faces, and would rather hold back than talk to anyone.

Although the mothers-in-law are old, they have all lived for decades, so why can't Shen see what she's thinking?Shen's birth is not bad, and she is the type I see as pity, and she is quite charming when she cries.

Seeing her wiping tears every day, there was a mother-in-law who pitied her to persuade her.

Seeing that Mrs. Chen didn't care about them, the wives followed Mrs. Shen.After waiting for a few months, Mrs. Shen was very lonely. When she wanted to talk to someone, she found that the people in the yard were not looking for her anymore.

When Shen thought of her previous days, she really knew that she was wrong.full of remorse.

She had also begged the nanny who taught her, and asked the nanny to convey her sincere repentance to the wife for her, but she hit a snag directly with the nanny.

The mother's original words are as follows: "Auntie made two mistakes. One is that she should not be self-righteous, and the other is that she should not cry all night when the master celebrates his birthday."

"According to the fact that my aunt is crying, it is right for Madam to send my aunt directly to Zhuangzi."

"Now I just let my aunt think about it behind closed doors. Before a year has passed, my aunt will be in a hurry to go out. My aunt thinks about it carefully, is she starting to be self-righteous again? Whether you want to let my aunt go out, I have to ask my wife. It's better for my aunt to be more peaceful. .”

What she said made Shen shi hang her head, and she didn't dare to mention this matter again.

Today, Mrs. Shen just stood and listened to the rules of the mother for half an hour, and when she saw that the mother had gone out, she quickly sat on the bed and beat her legs.

Before she had a sip of tea to quench her thirst, she heard a commotion outside.

She hadn't heard of this in the yard for more than a year, so she quickly got up from the bed, went to the main room and looked out of the yard, and saw a big girl who looked like a first-class girl walking towards the room where she lived.

It's been a long time, and she hasn't been to the main courtyard a few times, even when she went there before, she didn't dare to raise her head much, and she can't remember what the maids around Madam look like.

Mrs. Shen didn't know whether it was joy or worry, her heart was in a mess. Seeing the girl entered the main room and stood still, she saluted and said with a smile: "Ma'am, please take a nap at noon. My aunt will watch the time, so don't be too late."

Shen's hands were trembling a little, and she forced a smile and asked, "I don't know what to call this girl?"

The girl smiled neither humble nor overbearing: "Young servant Xiaoman is the second-class girl next to Madam."

Shen hurriedly took off the gold bracelet on her hand, stuffed it into Xiaoman's hand, and asked, "I don't know why Madam is looking for me? I don't know what's going on in my heart, so I beg Miss Xiaoman to reveal something."

Xiaoman took two steps back, and Shen's hand fell into the air, neither advancing nor retreating.

She had a kind smile on her face, and her tone was very gentle, but her words were not soft at all: "This servant is only here to deliver a message for Madam, so I dare not accept such an expensive gift from my aunt. I will naturally know what is going on when my aunt passes by. The servant has to go back to report, so I will take my leave first. Auntie, don’t be late in the afternoon.”

Saying that, Xiaoman saluted, turned around and left.Shen's heart was full of ups and downs, and she didn't eat her lunch well.Looking at the sun, she didn't sleep at all, so she washed and changed her clothes and found a woman to take her to the main courtyard.

When I arrived at the gate of the main courtyard, I saw Mrs. Cao waiting there.

Although Mrs. Cao was wearing thick clothes, a cloak and a muff, her face still hurt from the north wind in winter, so she had to hide her face in a hat.

In the past, when they came to pay their respects, even if Madam didn't see them first, she would let them warm in the house, but now they are not even allowed to enter the courtyard door.

The old woman guarding the door only said that the lady hadn't woken up from her afternoon nap, so she couldn't disturb her.Mrs. Cao has a ghost in her heart, besides, what Madam said was after a nap, who made her anxious so early?

So Mrs. Cao didn't act like a firecracker like before, but just waited honestly at the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing Mrs. Shen coming too, and seeing Mrs. Shen haggard a lot after not seeing her for more than a year, Mrs. Cao raised her eyebrows and laughed a few words when she wanted to see her like before.

But thinking about it, I still don't know where to go, I don't know if I will be with Mrs. Chen soon, in the old death hospital, and in front of the madam's courtyard.

So Mrs. Cao took a look at Mrs. Shen, but turned around without saying a word.The two stood together in rare harmony for half an hour.

Shen Shi has to stand and listen to the training every day this year, but she can still hold on.Mrs. Cao had never stood there for so long since she entered the mansion. When she saw the gate finally opened, Xiaoman came out to invite them in. As soon as Mrs. Cao moved, her leg gave way and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Pomegranate beside her quickly supported her.

Pomegranate was also very worried.I thought that even if it was bad on the first day of junior high school, and there was no time to go back to my mother's house in the second junior high school, and later in the third and fourth day of junior high school, when my wife was free, it was time to take care of Cao's.
