Chapter 1,746 Rushing to Langya, the girls are happy
Chapter 1746 Rushing to Langya, the girls are happy
I am really afraid of what will happen.
On the first night when Su Mingzhe returned to Wuxing County, he began to settle old scores with Xie Daoyun.
Even though Xie Daoyun usually puts on all the airs of being the mistress of the house, at night, in front of men, she is no different from other women.
After being taught a lesson once, Xie Daoyun's body became limp and paralyzed, no matter how much the man ridiculed him, he did not react.
Su Mingzhe could only call Qingyin Tingqianggen in.
Among the three hundred slaves that Xie Daoyun married, there were twelve young and beautiful maids.
Among the twelve maids, only Qingyin, the eldest maid, has been taken over by Su Mingzhe.
After Qingyin came in, she first served the man to her satisfaction, and then she forced herself to get tired and help her lady clean up.
After a while.
Su Mingzhe returned to bed. Seeing that the man was about to continue, Xie Daoyun could only plead:
"Husband, you go find sister Yanzhi, or Wuxia, Xinlian and the others."
"Jiang'er (Xie Daoyun's nickname), you often say that the state has national laws and every family has its own rules. Now if you make a mistake and you don't punish it severely, tomorrow that girl Wang Yanzhi makes a mistake and I still don't care? What if I don't care about you?
The two of you, the whole family, the whole family, what goes up and what goes down takes effect, are there any rules left in this house?"
Su Mingzhe said, ignoring the woman's plea for mercy and continuing to punish her.
Two consecutive punishments made Xie Daoyun almost die.
Seeing that the woman couldn't bear it anymore, Su Mingzhe pulled Qingyin to the bed and taught her a lesson.
After a night.
Su Mingzhe felt refreshed and left Xie Daoyun bedridden.
…
Several months passed in the blink of an eye.
Other places in the south of the Yangtze River were more or less affected by waterlogging, which led to turmoil.
Only Wuxing and Su Mingzhe began to dig ponds to store water, clean up rivers, and transform terraces after their arrival last year. This year, the output of the fields in each county has not decreased, but has increased by two or three times.
If the people have land and food in their hands, they will naturally not rebel.
Come September.
Su Mingzhe collected the taxes and handed the accounts to Wang Yun, the prefect.
Wang Yun read it once, put it aside and praised:
"My sister-in-law is really a great talent. My brother has been here in Wuxing for many years, but he has not been able to benefit the local people. My sister-in-law has only been here for a year, but he has benefited the people so much. I am ashamed of myself!"
"Brother, this is a matter of profession and specialization."
Su Mingzhe smiled and comforted:
"My eldest brother's talent lies in governing the country with benevolence. It's normal for my eldest brother not to understand these minute details carefully."
"Sister-in-law, your words are embarrassing to me!"
Although Wang Yun is an alcoholic, he is not a brainless fool. He knows that his talents are far inferior to Su Mingzhe, and he will not take the credit for himself with just one or two words.
The two complimented each other a few words.
Wang Yun suddenly slammed the table and made a decision:
"That's all, sister-in-law. With your talents, it is really unfair to continue to stay in Wuxing. I wonder if you are willing to assist the prince (Langya King Sima Pi)?"
"Brother, we are a family. If the prince needs me somewhere, how can I shirk it?"
Su Mingzhe respectfully accepted the order.
…
"Does this count as being demoted or promoted?"
Su Mingzhe took the letter of recommendation written by Wang Yun and raised his eyebrows lightly when leaving the prefect's mansion.
He was just about to make a big splash in Wuxing County and develop his own power. However, Wang Yun recommended him to Langya King Sima Pi.
Sima Pi, King of Langya, has a fiefdom in Langya Kingdom and controls nine counties including Kaiyang, Linyi, Yangdu, Zhen, Langqiu, Hua, Fei, Anqiu and Ju.
In terms of territory and population, Langya County is definitely far better than Wuxing County.
However, Langya County was approaching the Yan Kingdom established by Murong Jun (known as the former Yan in history).
The war between Yan and Jin continued, and Sima Pi did not have an elite army under his command, so his life was extremely frustrating.
Now, Su Mingzhe went to Langya County to serve as an official for Sima Pi.
According to ordinary people's understanding, this is a real demotion.
…
October.
Su Mingzhe took his whole family to Kaiyang County, Langya County, and met Langya King Sima Pi.
Like Wang Yun, Sima Pi was also an alcoholic.
However, Sima Pi is different from Wang Yun. He is not only an alcoholic, but also a "waste".
A useless person in the literal sense.
In the two quarters of an hour (half an hour) that Sima Pi met with Su Mingzhe, he sat on the toilet three times.
This situation does not look like that of a healthy eighteen or nineteen-year-old.
…
"Mr. Su, in the past year, every time my uncle writes to me, he will praise you and say that you are a unique genius in the world!"
Although Sima Pi was physically disabled, he was still motivated. After reading the letter written by his brother-in-law Wang Yun, he enthusiastically said to Su Mingzhe:
"It stands to reason that if you can come to Langya, I should treat you as the prime minister of the country. However, now that the prime minister is appointed by the imperial court, I can only grant you the position of 'Family Prime Minister'. I hope you won't dislike it, sir."
Jiacheng, in the vassal kingdom, is in charge of internal affairs. Except for military affairs, he cannot interfere in other official affairs. He can make decisions on behalf of the vassal king.
Sima Pi was able to confer the title of "Jia Cheng" on Su Mingzhe on his first day, which also showed his trust in Su Mingzhe.
Of course, this is also because Sima Pi has no available people under his command.
…
Sima Pi was originally the eldest son of Emperor Cheng. According to legal principles, when the late emperor passed away, the throne should be returned to him.
As a result, after the death of the late emperor, the Empress Dowager Chu and the ministers passed the throne to the two-year-old Sima Dan.
This is a bit bullying!
You must know that when Emperor Cheng died, the reason why the officials refused Sima Pi to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor was that Sima Pi was too young, only one year old.
But a few years ago, when the late emperor passed away, the current little emperor Sima Dan was only two years old. How much better than the then Sima Pi?
Therefore, the ministers of the DPRK were unfair to Sima Pi.
Those ministers also knew that if Sima Pi was allowed to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, he would definitely settle the score with them.
As a result, they put all kinds of precautions against him, lest he make a comeback.
Under this situation, Su Mingzhe took the initiative to accept Wang Yun's conquest, and accepted the transfer order to serve in Langya County.
In the eyes of Sima Pi and Wang Yun, Su Mingzhe's behavior was the same as giving someone help in the nick of time.
…
The second month after Su Mingzhe came to settle in Langya County, Wang Yanzhi first announced the good news.
Not long after, Ms. Zhou Caiwei also became pregnant.
Seeing that both concubines were pregnant but she didn't make any move, Xie Daoyun finally became anxious. When Su Mingzhe wanted to go astray, he refused to do so.
Unfortunately, even if Su Mingzhe is not allowed to go astray, Xie Daoyun still cannot get pregnant.
The reason is also very simple.
It was because she had taken Wushi Powder too many times before, which damaged the foundation of her internal organs.
…
Wushi Powder was an 'elixir of immortality' that was most popular among literati during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
After taking this kind of thing, people can see the "wonderland" and even play with the immortals.
Things have pros and cons.
If you take too much of this stuff, your internal organs will be fundamentally damaged, in addition to various symptoms.
Xie Daoyun can't get pregnant, that's just one of them.
…
This evening.
Su Mingzhe rested at Xie Daoyun's place. After Qingyin went out, Xie Daoyun snuggled into the man's arms and said:
"Husband, this girl Qingyin has been with you for a year. She has no merit but hard work. Why don't you give her some credit?"
After hearing this, Su Mingzhe asked indifferently:
"Do you want Qingyin to be your concubine, or a side wife?"
Concubines also have levels.
The concubine is considered to be a relatively middle-lower class, only higher than the concubine, the concubine, and there is another name "Ji concubine".
The status of the side chamber, side chamber, auxiliary chamber, and side chamber increases in order.
Concubines like Wang Yanzhi and Zhou Caiwei had a status second only to the principal wife and were qualified to raise their own children.
Since the Han Dynasty, scholar-bureaucrats could only marry one wife and two concubines.
The two concubines here refer to Teng Concubine.
If a guest comes to visit, the host will usually ask his concubine to serve him.
Naturally, Su Mingzhe would not transfer the woman he had used out again.
However, in the side courtyard, he also prepared many beautiful maids in case of emergencies.
Xie Daoyun thought about it for a moment and spoke slowly:
