Chapter 201 Three younger sisters want dowry
Writing fake sick leave notes was something Huaiyu did a lot when he was studying.
But the dignified Sikong, Wei Guogong, and Zuo Pushe asked Huaiyu to issue him a fake sick leave note. This matter is worth pondering.
Wu Huaiyu's uncles, Warrior Xun and Pei Ji, were both heroes of Taiyuan Yuanmou, but Wu Huaiyu was definitely the new emperor's confidant, and Pei Ji must have known this.
But he still made the request.
This was not said to Wu Huaiyu, but obviously directly to Li Shimin.
"I think Mr. Pei looks good. It's probably just that he's been overworked. It won't be a problem if he pays attention to rest." Huaiyu pretended not to understand.
Pei Ji resigned today. Li Shimin might have just asked him to recuperate at home. This was not some kind of favor. It was obvious that Li Shimin still remembered Pei Ji's grudge.
Who doesn’t know that Pei Ji was a confidant of the Supreme Emperor. He often went to the palace to drink and play the piano together. It is said that the relationship between the two was so good that when Li Yuan summoned him to the palace, they not only enjoyed the concubines dancing together, but also even asked three concubines to bring delicious food and treasures.
We had a banquet at Pei Mansion and returned home in the evening.
They are guys who can share clothes.
But everyone also knows that Pei Ji has a grudge against the current new emperor. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were two prime ministers, Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing. Liu Wenjing was Li Shimin's confidant, but in the end he was framed and unjustly killed by Pei Jijin. Li Shimin even fought with Jiancheng, and Pei Ji was involved in it.
Li Shimin.
Now that Pei Ji wants to escape unscathed, he has to ask Li Shimin if he agrees.
Huaiyu had already known about the future history, and Pei Ji would not end well. Li Shimin always remembered this grudge.
The carriage arrived at the Duke of Wei's mansion.
Pei Jizhai was given the royal title by Li Yuan.
In the Tang Dynasty, Jia Di was not something that could be called casually. A house was also called Di, and there were ranks of A and B. Those who could not go out from the inner gate and faced the main road were called Di. Although their titles were ranked as marquises and their living quarters were less than a thousand, their residences
In it, none of them are ranked first.
First, it must be a mansion with the privilege of facing the street and opening the door, and its owner must be a marquis or above, and at least a prince.
If you grant a title to a county magistrate, even if you can open the door on the street, you can only call it Yidi, not Adi.
Pei Ji's Sikong Mansion, Shi Zhonggong, and Caojing are the treatment that only princes can have, and those below the princes are not allowed to exceed.
Wutou gate, five rooms and nine bays in the main hall.
Pei Ji's house occupies a quarter of the first square, and their house even has a high flying building, so you can overlook the neighbor's house next door.
There were many places where Pei Mansion went beyond the rules, but they were all authorized by Li Yuan.
Pei Ji pulled Wu Huaiyu out of the car and entered the house, straight into the hall.
There are many maids in the Pei Mansion, and they are very young. Most of them are directly rewarded by the palace. There are also many Silla maids, Persian concubines, etc.
But what Wu Huaiyu felt was that the building was about to collapse.
"When I was Erlang's age, I was still a poor scholar. I walked to Chang'an, the capital, and passed by the Huayue Temple. I went to the temple to pray, hoping that the gods would give me good dreams and guide me. That night, I dreamed of a white-headed man talking to me.
I said, I can only succeed when I am over forty, and I will eventually become a very popular minister."
Huaiyu listened with a smile.
It is true that Pei Ji was in poverty when he was young, but unlike ordinary poor people, Pei Ji's family is from the Pei family in Hedong, and the surname is from Guanzhong County.
.
When he was young, his family fell into ruin due to the war, but a emaciated camel was bigger than a horse. The so-called poverty did not affect his studies, etc., but he was not as wealthy as his ancestors.
In fact, at the age of fourteen, Pei Ji became the chief official of Bozhou. After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, he was awarded the title of Zuoqianwei. Later, he was appointed as the chief minister of Qizhou to join the army, moved to serve as the censor, and served as the chief minister of the Ministry of Finance, and then to Jinyang.
Deputy Superintendent of the Palace, he met Li Yuan in Taiyuan, and his career has skyrocketed since then.
He is only in his fifties now, a few years younger than Li Yuan. He was indeed in his early forties when he met Li Yuan.
However, Huaiyu thought that this so-called guide in the dream of the white-headed man was probably made up by himself, or he might actually have this dream, but dreams are not real.
I think about it every day and dream about it at night.
"I heard that Wu Erlang is proficient in Taoism, and he can fortune telling and fortune telling. I wonder if Wu Erlang can take a look at it for me?"
"Xiang Pei, I only learned some Taoist scriptures and medical skills in Zhongnan Mountain, and I only learned a few superficial skills. As for divination and fortune telling, I have never learned anything about it.
Besides, the imperial court has just issued an edict that the common people are not allowed to build demon temples, and any miscellaneous divination is strictly prohibited."
Wu Huaiyu already knew Pei Ji's fate, and he was eventually exiled until his death.
Li Shimin hated Pei Ji very much, and Pei Ji also knew that Li Shimin hated Pei Ji for slandering and killing Liu Wenjing. If Liu Wenjing did not die, Li Shimin felt that there was no need to be forced to launch the Xuanwu Sect Revolution. Maybe he had already got Li Yuan to change him to the crown prince in an upright manner.
Wu Huaiyu didn't want to get involved in Pei Ji's matter at all. This was shit now, and whoever got involved would be unlucky.
Wu Huaiyu's attitude made Pei Ji look ugly.
After a long time, he sighed, smiled bitterly and whispered to Wu Huaiyu, "Your Majesty previously gave me a money-making furnace, which can make 3,300 coins a year. Now I have been making money for five years. If Wu Erlang can help me,
Let me return to my hometown in Hedong after illness and enjoy my old age in peace. I am willing to donate all the money I have minted in the past five years, 16,500 guan."
Huaiyu could not agree.
"Erlang's hometown is Wenshui in Bingzhou, and my hometown is Sangquan in Puzhou, Hedong. There are also many fields in Shouyang and Wenshui. I would like to give Erlang a thousand acres of land each in Shouyang and Wenshui."
"Prime Minister Pei, you are joking,"
Huaiyu gave Pei Ji a medicine to soothe his nerves and replenish his blood, then stood up and left.
Pei Ji is quite generous. Huaiyu also wants Zhenshe's next book, but he doesn't dare to take it.
Pei Ji is already dead, and he can only survive for a few years at most. This is Li Shimin playing cat and mouse. He wants to completely destroy him, avenge an old feud, and eradicate his influence. Who dares to get involved in this kind of thing?
inside.
Pei Ji sat on the couch with an ashen face. The emperor's close servants treated him with such attitude. This old fox already understood his fate.
"Send to General Wu!"
The housekeeper of the Pei Mansion brought Huaiyu a brocade with unicorns embroidered with gold threads. This was a reward from the Supreme Emperor, and each piece cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Huaiyu refused.
Hurrying out of Sikong Mansion, Huaiyu looked at the two rows of door halberds below the porch and the tall aconite gate. These symbols of wealth only seemed empty.
Even under the rising sun, it is difficult to hide the lifeless atmosphere.
One emperor and one courtier.
Pei Ji's favor in the Wude Dynasty was unparalleled, but now there is a new emperor and a new dynasty.
So what about the Pei family in Hedong, and what about the founding prime minister in the ninth year?
On the way out, Huaiyu even felt a little heavy. It was not that he felt sorry for the more than 10,000 yuan and 2,000 acres of good land. He felt that being with you is like being with a tiger.
Li Yuan is indeed very kind to Pei Ji. It is probably difficult to find such a monarch and minister in this world, but now that Li Yuan is trapped in Tai Chi Palace, how can he care about Pei Ji?
Maybe this is also the tragedy of the imperial power era.
Just like the four major families in the Red Mansion, the building can collapse in a blink of an eye.
······
The eighth day of October.
Li Shimin canonized his eldest son Li Chengqian, King of Zhongshan, as the crown prince. The eldest son of the eldest grandson of the Queen was just eight years old.
In the morning, after Huaiyu attended Chengqian's crown prince canonization ceremony, he immediately returned to Yongxingfang. The family had prepared the ceremony in advance.
The Wu family also invited players to play and play, and a long procession of gift-giving people passed more than ten miles to Fan Xingzhai in Huaiyuanfang.
Listening to the noisy and joyful music, Wei Zheng and his wife stood at the door and looked at the long queue and the gifts tied with red cloth flowers, feeling very bitter in their hearts.
Wu Erlang succeeded in seducing the daughter of the Duke of Pingying, but the Wei family was completely rejected by the Wang family.
Although Xia Ping was not a wedding party, the Wu family was still busy, and Wu Huaiyu didn't really care about being impeached by the censor.
The marriage between two newly wealthy families was a grand and lively event, and many prominent noble families in Chang'an also spoke sourly of the nouveau riche.
The Wu family deliberately loaded three hundred bolts of silk at the front of the cart in a very high-profile manner, and even hung a sign saying "Ping present three hundred bolts of silk."
There was no mention of the long queue behind them, with gifts being picked out one after another.
In order to go to Xiaping, Huaiyu also borrowed money like Wei Zheng next door, but he didn't need to borrow Beijing debt or even house mortgage. Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Samurai Xun, and Samurai Leng all took the initiative to give him money and silk. Anyuan
Shou, Fatty Wu and others also said that they would give him money and food to use first, but Huaiyu refused because Qin Qiong and others gave him too much.
Also delivered with the gift was a gift letter.
After the ceremony, in the afternoon of the same day, Qin Qiong, the two great matchmakers, discussed with the Fan family the date of the wedding, which was the due date among the six rites.
"How about we book it on the 18th of this month? The 18th of October is the cool autumn day, and the golden autumn is October, the harvest season, a good season, and a good day." Fan Xing said cheerfully.
In fact, this day was chosen by his daughter. He originally proposed to wait until the twelfth lunar month or the beginning of next spring before getting married, but Fan Xuanfu couldn't wait a day anymore. Wu Huaiyu already had four women in his family. If he waited until the beginning of next year, who would
Do you know if four will turn into eight?
If we wait any longer, those fox girls will all have children by then.
Although Qin Qiong felt that the time was a bit rushed, Huaiyu said that there was no problem at all, so it was settled like this.
Fan Xing took the gift list and said, "I have something to tell you. My Fan family's hometown is Anlu, Shannan. It can be considered a powerful and famous family in Anlu. Although we are from Wuling barbarians, our clan is not small. According to our Anlu
According to the custom in my hometown, clan members marry daughters, and fellow clan members want concubines and concubines..."
Hey, I'm going to marry you.
It is said that this originated from the pre-Qin era. In ancient times, when nobles and scholar-bureaucrats married their daughters, they would have their nieces marrying them, and they were called concubines.
To this day, there is a concubine between the head wife of an aristocratic official and his concubine.
Concubine, a noble concubine.
The laws of the Tang Dynasty stipulate that it is illegal to use a concubine as a concubine or a concubine as a concubine if there is a concubine above the fifth rank, and if a concubine is above the common people.
Some wealthy and famous families in the Tang Dynasty also followed this system of concubine marriage, where cousins, aunts, and nieces married to the same husband.
The princes of the Tang Dynasty, two concubines, ten concubines, the first-grade concubines of the princes and prefectures, ten concubines, the second-grade concubines, six concubines, the third-grade concubines, four fourth-grade concubines, and the fifth-grade concubines
people.
For officials below the fifth rank, all the women they take are called concubines, not concubines.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were still strict distinctions between wives, concubines, and concubines. For example, the concubines of princes were divided into three categories: concubines, concubines, and concubines. There were no concubines below the prince, and no concubines below the fifth rank.
Fan Xing said that the Fan family in Anlu also had the custom of marrying a concubine. Cousins and nieces of the family were married as concubines. Not only were the clan girls married as concubines, but they also had concubines, who were the dowry girls.
"Our Anlu Fan family is quite big, and we all want to marry a concubine. Unfortunately, Erlang is only a fifth-grade official, and can only marry three concubines. Otherwise, even our Fan family can afford to marry ten concubines."
"I can only bring more maids. The eldest lady has personally selected twelve maids. When her three maids marry their cousins, they will each bring four maids..."
Huaiyu was a little confused after hearing this. How could he conduct a Turkic attack?
It's about to get married, and suddenly there are three younger sisters to marry?
