"That's right, they are all Marquises! They hold a high position and have great authority. I heard they are especially respected by saints!"
After hearing Father Tian's scolding, Tian Yaozong also echoed with some envy.
"I took the initiative to cut off the relationship with the He family, not only because He Erniu's identity has changed, but also for more important reasons."
Father Tian's eyes were deep, and when he spoke, he felt sorry in his heart.
Alas, if he could, he wouldn't want to give up a marquis' son-in-law.
Even though his daughter and grandson may be gone, he holds the marriage certificate in his hand. He is He Erniu's father-in-law, that is, the elder of Pingnan Hou Mansion.
However, the situation is stronger than the people. The Tian family are just ordinary people at the lowest level, and they really don't have the capital to go head-to-head with other powerful people.
"What's the reason?" Tian Yaozong asked curiously.
Seeing his son's "simple" appearance, Father Tian sighed secretly: His son is good at everything, but he has not inherited his shrewdness.
In the past time, if he hadn't protected him with all his heart, his son would have been chewed to pieces.
Now, my son is almost in his thirties.
At thirty, Father Tian felt that his son couldn't stand up.
He has no choice but to drag himself out as a bad old man and wait for a few more years. When his son gives birth to a son, he will directly teach his grandson and at least give the Tian family a chance to shine!
Speaking of "grandson", Father Tian couldn't help but think of his grandson Fugui who he had no choice but to abandon.
It wasn't that he was cruel, but it was too difficult to escape. Between his underage grandson and his adult son, he chose the latter.
In fact, not only his grandson, but also his old wife and pregnant daughter-in-law were sold by Father Tian.
If he hadn't been decisive enough, he and his son wouldn't be alive today.
The roots of Lao Tian's family were cut off.
Therefore, although Father Tian will feel sad and sad when thinking about these past events, he has never regretted it.
Even if he comes back a hundred times, he will make the same choice.
Everything was for the Tian family. Back then, he could sell his daughter to make money for his grandson, but on his way to escape famine, he could sell his wife and daughter-in-law!
Father Tian never thinks that he has done anything wrong.
Only occasionally, when I think of my wife or grandson, I can't help but feel disappointed.
I just hope that with the farm and money, I can marry my son a wife as soon as possible and give him more smart grandchildren!
Father Tian was thinking silently, but he did not forget to answer his son's question: "The daughter-in-law married by Queen He Erniu was also granted the title of Marquis by her mother's family."
The Qin family is not an ordinary wealthy family. They are retainers who are even more favored by Emperor Tiantai than He Erniu.
What is a retainer?
When the master rebels, the retainer will follow his master despite knowing that he will be punished by the Nine Clans after the incident!
When Emperor Tiantai raised his army, he relied on his 30,000 troops and more than a dozen retainers.
There are some things that the wife and children may not know, but the retainers must be insiders.
Qin's father was a retainer whom Emperor Tiantai relied on.
Although He Erniu had more military exploits, in the eyes of Emperor Tiantai, the Qin family was more important.
Father Tian did not take the initiative to sever the marriage relationship with the He family. Instead, he went to the Hou Mansion to act as the father-in-law of the Hou Mansion.
Haha, this is a blatant slap in the face of the Qin family of Zhenyuan Hou.
The Qin family is not a vegetarian. They also have soldiers and horses. Now that the new dynasty has just been established, the capital is not so stable.
If there is a "rogue bandit" and one or two civilians are killed, the government will not be able to do anything.
Father Tian is so shrewd that he has almost calculated everything to his bones.
Therefore, after repeated considerations, he finally reluctantly made the decision: give up the He family as a relative!
Father Tian carefully divided the pros and cons and told his son in pieces.
"No way, do they really dare to kill people?"
Tian Yaozong was startled and looked around like a frightened bird, as if he was worried that a killer would rush out from some corner.
Father Tian:...It’s so stupid!
"I can't guarantee whether they dare or not. We are the only two people left in the Tian family, so we don't dare to make any mistakes!"
Again, father and son are the lifeblood of the family, and their lives cannot be used to test whether certain powerful people abide by the law.
"Those scholars say, 'He who knows the current affairs is a hero.' We, father and son, have no other abilities, and we don't have much ambition. We have land and money, and living well in the capital is enough to continue the Tian family's legacy!"
They can't afford rich families or anything like that, so they don't ask for extravagant things.
"..." After hearing his father say so much and explaining it word by word, Tian Yaozong finally understood his father's painstaking efforts.
"Well, things are already like this anyway, it's too late to regret it!"
Tian Yaozong understood and understood, but he was a little reluctant to let go, so he still muttered this sentence.
Father Tian just felt a little out of breath. He was old and his son was not very smart. He really didn't even dare to die.
Tian Yaozong, however, didn't know about Father Tian's distress. Hearing his father talk about "ability" and "ambition" touched a certain nerve, so he started gossiping with his father.
"Dad, when I went to the Yamen just now, I seemed to see Han Sanlang from Hanjiaping!"
Tian Yaozong's eyes were full of envy and jealousy, "He was wearing shiny armor, riding a tall horse, and had many soldiers behind him. He seemed to have great potential."
Looking at the relationship from his mother-in-law, Mrs. Han, Tian Yaozong is Han Sanlang's cousin.
It's a pity that Mrs. Han was sold by Father Tian three years ago, and she doesn't know whether she is dead or alive.
If my mother was still alive, she might still be able to have a relationship with Han Sanlang and the others by virtue of being a member of the Han clan.
"Han Sanlang?"
But Father Tian was shocked when he heard this, "Han Sanlang from Hanjiaping? A relative of your maternal grandfather's family?"
"Yes, when we were fleeing the famine, we had friends together. Unfortunately, after we arrived in Heyin, the Han family stayed in Heyin while we continued on to Fucheng."
Speaking of this, Tian Yaozong seemed to have thought of something, and said with some annoyance, "I remember that the eldest lady of the Wei family, oh no, it was Her Royal Highness Princess Yong'an, was recruiting recruits in Heyin. I heard that several brothers from the Han family were going there.
Already."
Tian Yaozong had never thought about joining the army, but now that he saw the glorious Han Sanlang, he couldn't help but fantasize: If I had joined the Northwest King at that time, would I have been as successful as the men of the Han family?
"Won't!"
As if he understood Tian Yaozong's eyes, Father Tian said categorically.
Although in Dad Tian's heart, his son is very good.
But he must admit that there is one thing that his son cannot do, and that is to endure hardship and stand hard work and dare to fight!
His family, Yaozong, has had some success in recent years. When he was in his hometown, he never even picked up a hoe.
He's so squeamish that he can't even go to work in the fields, let alone go to the battlefield.
If Tian Yaozong really joined the army, he would be lucky to be a deserter, otherwise he would lose his life directly.
Tian Yaozong: ...My dear father, I am your dear son, why don’t you look down on me like this?
"Okay, let's not gossip about others. Let's get out of the city quickly. Autumn is coming soon. Maybe we can still harvest a crop of grain!"
The more Father Tian looked at his son, the more tired he became. He didn't want to talk nonsense, and he didn't want to think of the old woman who was sold by himself just because he talked about the Han family.
He said a few words angrily and hurriedly urged Tian Yaozong to leave the city.
In fact, not only Tian Yaozong discovered the Han family, but also finally followed the eldest prince, oh no, he is the eldest prince now.
Emperor Tiantai officially ascended the throne, and Wei Songnian became a prince.
One person was able to ascend to heaven with the help of chickens and dogs, and Qiu Yuying, as the concubine of the eldest prince, actually received the title of a child.
Yes, you read that right, Qiu Yuying has been "promoted". She is no longer a maid in the study, but a princely child of the fifth rank.
However, because the eldest prince was an adult and had a wife and children, Emperor Tiantai directly named him King of Wei and asked him to build a palace.
Qiu Yuying also moved to Prince Wei's Mansion with the eldest prince, and had her own small courtyard, as well as palace servants and chamberlains to serve her.
Qiu Yuying's appearance is not too outstanding, but she was given to the eldest prince by Princess Yong'an. She has served the eldest prince for several years and is definitely a confidant.
In addition to her early love, Qiu Yuying also used dreams to predict certain things, successfully improving her status in the eyes of the eldest prince.
In addition, Qiu Yuying also proposed some methods to improve the glass craftsmanship and purify the wine, which made the merchants under the eldest prince's disciples make a lot of money.
The eldest prince valued her more and more, and when he saw that she was deliberately getting close to him, he accepted her as his concubine.
After the establishment of Da Qi, the eldest prince was granted the title of King of Wei, and his wives and concubines also had titles.
The King of Wei valued Qiu Yuying and made her second only to Princess Wei.
Qiu Yuying has become the most beloved woman of King Wei, and even the princess has to give in in the palace of King Wei.
With the improvement of her status and the wealth and honor she dreamed of, Qiu Yuying felt a little overwhelmed.
Except for King Wei, she didn't even pay much attention to the princess.
A common plot in romance novels, the main wife is from a noble family but is not favored, and the beloved concubine is from a humble family but is in harmony with her husband.
Being a legal wife needs to worry about rules and propriety, and she has to force a smile even when she is wronged to maintain the so-called dignity.
But concubines don't have to worry about these things. They are arrogant and domineering, and they act willfully. Even if they don't end well in the future, they have enjoyed everything they should have enjoyed, and they have indulged in everything they should have, and they are not unfair at all.
If King Wei could sit on that chair, she might even become the most favored concubine in the harem.
It makes me happy just thinking about it.
Qiu Yuying's whole person was a little swollen, and she was full of ambitions for the future.
Of course, Qiu Yuying has not forgotten serious matters.
For example, pay close attention to the heroine and continue to seize opportunities that belong to her.
For another example, she will not let go of anyone who has hurt her or bullied her.
Although the heroine Han Dong'er has never bullied her, but she has done something to others, but inexplicably, Qiu Yuying just hates Han Dong'er.
She was powerless in the past, but now, she is no longer a humble maid, but a high-class prince and child. It takes no effort at all to deal with an upstart like the Han family!
"...What? The shop on East Street was smashed by gangsters?"
Having stayed in the capital with her family for a while, Han Dong'er didn't want to be a charming young lady trapped in the inner house. She admired strong women like Princess Yong'an.
So, she obtained the consent of her parents, used her own private money, and with the help of Princess Yong'an, opened a shop on East Street.
When Han Dong'er was on the run, she once helped a rich lady in distress because of her kindness.
This young lady failed to survive the epidemic. Before she died, she felt grateful for Han Dong'er's kindness, so she gave Han Dong'er several rouge recipes passed down from her family.
Han Dong'er had a secret recipe and some retired and disabled women recruited from Princess Yong'an, so she took advantage of the situation and opened a rouge shop specializing in women's business.
The secret recipe is very good, Han Donger uses honest ingredients, and the shop assistants and shopkeepers are all well-trained female soldiers, and they actually have their own characteristics.
With the secret support of Princess Yong'an, the Rouge Shop became an instant hit in the capital as soon as it opened.
The business is very good. I can't say that I am making a lot of money every day, but I am also making a lot of profits.
However, before Han Donger could secretly be happy, there was trouble.
"Yes, someone came here deliberately to cause trouble, saying that his face was rotten after using our rouge."
The man who came to report was a clerk from the rouge shop. He was young, only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he had already been fighting with the Detachment of Women for two years.
After the establishment of the new dynasty, Princess Yong'an no longer led troops to fight, and the women's army under her command only left some main forces and veterans.
Young women like the little boy were arranged by Princess Yong'an in various ways.
In the words of the eldest princess Wei Huanian, "In the past, there was no way and there were insufficient troops, so women also went to the battlefield."
"Now that everything is settled, young ladies should go back and live the life they want, instead of licking blood like this."
Although getting married and having children is not the destination for a young lady in the military, it is the requirement for women in this era.
Princess Yong'an is still unable to completely change the so-called "rules". She can only let her subordinates adapt slowly first, so that they will be less criticized and have a happy and stable second half of their lives.
Han Donger hired these former female soldiers to return them to the lives of ordinary women, not only for his own shop, but also to relieve the worries of Princess Yong'an.
Although Han Donger is not under the banner of the eldest princess, as soon as a discerning person sees the shopkeeper in the shop, the clerk will know that this shop must be related to the eldest princess Yong'an.
Therefore, no one should have trouble with the rouge shop.
Even the gangsters who hang out on the interface know very well who can be bullied and which shops should not be offended.
Han Dong'er was a little confused for a moment, but the matter was urgent and she couldn't think about it too much. She hurriedly followed the boy to East Street.
When dealing with the gangsters on East Street, Han Dong'er showed her calmness, composure and intelligence, and only made a few gangsters speechless and could only act rogue.
During this period, there was a young and handsome young man standing in the crowd. He happened to see Han Donger's smart and witty side, and couldn't help but smile appreciatively.
If Qiu Yuying saw this scene, she would definitely be itching with hatred: "I have already rushed to contact the male protagonist, and I also used the female protagonist's way to show myself. As a result, the male protagonist was not polite to me, but he had a crush on the girl.
!”
Yes, the male protagonist appeared. Although he was disturbed by Qiu Yuying, he still met the female protagonist by chance, and then they admired each other and secretly fell in love...
The real plot of the novel has officially begun...
