1370th: The Tea Party of the Ladies (13)
Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! After only one year, the wives of each family seem to have changed, with smiles brighter than spring flowers on their faces.
The original tea party was full of grievances from boudoirs and wives, but now the gloom has been swept away, there is no trace of gloomy brows, and people are more delicate than flowers.
As the host of the tea party and Mrs. Han Yu, Mrs. Han has many people who flatter her. The wives of each family spoke more or less gratefully, they couldn't go to Jiang Pengji or Han Yu to express their gratitude, they could only save the country with curves, thank you Mrs. Han a lot.
As everyone knows, in the eyes of outsiders, Han Yu and his wife, who are well-mannered and harmonious, have already lived in two separate rooms.
Hearing the flattery from all the ladies, the smile on Mrs. Han's face became a little stiff.
As the wives of various families arrived one after another, the tea party gradually became lively, and everyone tasted tea and enjoyed the flowers, very happy.
"Why didn't Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Ning come today?"
A certain lady took a seat in her seat, glanced around from the corner of her eye, and found that several ladies who could talk to her were not there.
"Mrs. Dou was ill for a while a few years ago. I'm afraid I don't know what happened this month." A certain lady said with a smile, "Mrs. They are getting bored, how can they be in the mood to come to the tea party."
After Madam Dou heard this, she couldn't help opening her eyes wide, and a gleam of astonishment flashed in her eyes.
She has been ill on and off for almost two months, during which time she was busy with her family's New Year affairs, so she really didn't pay much attention to the outside world.
"What happened? Why were you sent back to your country of origin?"
Mrs. Dou has been out of the circle of wives for less than two months, how do you feel that there is a generation gap between me and them?
Everyone really didn't know her when they saw her, so they kindly gave her popular science about the major events that happened recently.
The gossip at the end of last year was full of material, and the audience was super satisfied.
"Madam Dou, do you know that the husbands of Madam Zhang and Madam Ning have taken six or seven beautiful concubines?"
"Naturally."
After all, it was considered a boudoir handkerchief, and she also knew that the two were deeply hurt by their playful husbands, and she had heard them complain and complain a lot in the past.
Mrs. Dou also thinks that they are not worth it, but she also has a mess in her family, and she can't take care of herself.
"This matter has to start from years ago - at the tea party years ago, Lieutenant Dian's wife Lu Xiniang also came. I don't know what the lady heard and what she said when she went back. Immediately afterwards, Mr. Lanting was furious. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, envoys were sent to the door to reprimand all those who took concubines and spoiled their wives. Those men were also heartless. In order to save their future, they lied that the concubines in the mansion were not concubines, and secretly forced good concubines to become lowly. ...Hmph, how could their foolish tricks have been hidden from Lan Tinggong's discerning eyes?"
When the ladies mentioned this, they immediately felt elated.
Although the husbands of their family did not take concubines, they secretly raised one or two outhouses or "adopted daughters".
Those women don't have the status of concubines but are treated like concubines, not to mention how disgusting they are.
After this happened, the men of the family hurriedly cleaned up the backyard one by one, not daring to leave any tail behind.
These days are even more peaceful, not to mention looking for those vixens, and even going out to socialize less.
After Madam Dou heard this, she couldn't help covering her mouth with a handkerchief, and let out a short exclamation.
Seeing Mrs. Dou's reaction like this, the ladies all laughed.
"A man's self-knowledge is the most important thing! If you don't have enough status, you can't take concubines. The ancestors' etiquette is clearly written." One person gloated, "In the past, no one pursued it. Men with a few money in their pockets wanted to have wives and concubines. Now Lanting If the public wants to restore etiquette, don’t they be caught as broilers and killed for monkeys? Doting on concubines and destroying wives, overstepping the rules, and forcing good men into prostitution, all three crimes are punished together, and the iron man has to shed a layer of skin! Now only three generations of fathers and sons are prohibited Enrolling in an official position and deporting the whole family to their original place of origin, this is already an extrajudicial favor from Lan Ting Gong.”
"Mr. Lan Ting is also a woman, and her heart is a bit soft..." Another lady rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, and said in a treacherous voice,
"In my opinion, those wicked vixen should be sold off. They're all settled anyway. Anyway, they're all in low status, that's what they deserve, and Lord Lanting actually proposed them to return to good status... It's obvious They're some foxes! It's fine if you don't punish them, but they are actually allowed to leave with a hundred guan security silver and return to freedom... Hmph, the lives of these foxes are pretty good!"
When the nearby lady heard this, she couldn't help moving away.
The tea party was a public occasion, and she blatantly expressed her dissatisfaction with Jiang Pengji. Did she dislike her husband for living too long?
Mrs. Dou managed to sort out the cause and effect, and she was secretly stunned.
She wondered a while ago why her husband, who hadn’t come to her room for several years, was resting in her room every day. It didn't make her sick.
It turned out that it was because of this that the husband cared so much about her, a yellow-faced woman?
A trace of disgust flashed in Mrs. Dou's heart, and she almost didn't spit it out on the spot.
She said with the same expression as usual, "I see, it seems that I won't be able to bother the two of them at home in the near future—"
If the husband's family members were sent back to their hometowns, she probably wouldn't see those two wives for the rest of her life.
"That's not necessarily the case, maybe it will be fine in a few days."
"Eh? What do you mean?" Mrs. Dou was at a loss.
"Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Ning are busy reconciling or breaking up with their husbands."
Mrs. Dou was stunned by this big bomb.
Is this considered "husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately in the end"?
Seeing Madam Dou's unhappy expression, everyone knew that she had misunderstood, and explained, "They did this for the sake of their children."
Mrs. Dou asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Encountered a catastrophe, kicked her husband for the sake of the child?
Mrs. Dou is incapable of understanding this magical logic.
"It seems that Mrs. Dou has really kept her ears shut during this time." A certain young lady said with a smile, "A while ago, Lord Lanting ordered someone to revise the new marriage law. Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Ning The future of the children under the knees can only be chosen after the righteousness is over and they will be independent. Otherwise, the children will be implicated by their fathers, and they will have no chance of official career when they grow up, and they will be common people for three generations!"
Mrs. Dou said, "Can this be done? Lord Lanting ordered the three generations to be punished, so they will definitely not be allowed to take advantage of this loophole."
A certain lady said uncertainly, "Maybe it's possible, after all, the lady in Chang'an Lane succeeded."
The lady in Chang'an Lane is a well-known figure in the circle of wives.
Of course, this name is not a good reputation.
That woman can be called the best of the best of the best of the best, the best of the best of the best, a model who would be outraged by anyone who saw her.
