Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 253
Seeing the woman kneeling towards him suddenly, Gao Ming shook his head helplessly.

"How do you know I'm a nobleman? What if I kneel wrongly?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the woman kneeling on the ground was stunned for a moment, but then she laughed.

"You are joking, Hu Zi is now a high official appointed by His Highness the Crown Prince. If you can make him do things, your official position must be higher than his. Naturally, you are a noble man."

It was so!
Gao Ming thought about it, and found that this was indeed the case, so he nodded.

"According to this statement, then I am indeed a nobleman. You should get up first."

"Hey!"

After she stood up, Gao Ming smiled at her.

"I don't know who you are, auntie, and what is your relationship with that girl named Xiaohua?"

Hearing Gao Ming's question, the woman immediately lowered her head, and then replied respectfully to Gao Ming: "Mother Chen, Xiao Hua is the third daughter of the woman."

Gao Ming had already guessed that she had a great relationship with Xiaohua, so when she said that Xiaohua was her daughter, he was not too surprised and nodded immediately.

"I see. I've heard about Xiao Hua. Hu Zi also said that he wants to marry Xiao Hua, but Auntie, do you know what official Hu Zi is now?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment.

"What officer?"

Seeing her in a daze, Gao Ming smiled again.

"Dear Xun Yiwei Yulin Zhonglang, this is a general of the fourth rank, the same level as your governor of Puzhou, and because he is the prince's confidant, even if the governor of Puzhou sees him, he has to call him respectfully. He called out general!"

The reason why Gao Ming told Chen Shi this was to let her know that Huzi is different now, so that she would not dare to look down on Huzi in the future.

In fact, Gao Ming really thought too much. In the era when the official standard was rampant in the Tang Dynasty, since Mrs. Chen knew that Hu Zi was an official, even if she didn't know what kind of official Hu Zi was, she would not dare to be rude to Hu Zi. .

But now, when Mrs. Chen knew that Huzi's official position was actually higher than that of Puzhou's governor, she was so shocked that she gasped and couldn't even speak.

"Hiss... this... this..."

At this time, Hu Zi came out, Gao Ming didn't want to reveal his identity, so before Hu Zi could speak, he made a silent gesture to Hu Zi.

"Shh!"

Although Huzi's brain is not very good, his obedience is unmatched by ordinary people. After seeing Gao Ming's gesture, he nodded immediately, and then walked out the door.

After Huzi went out, Chen came back to his senses, his eyes were full of complexity.

"It turns out that Huzi is so capable now, it seems that my little flower is no longer able to climb high, alas..."

Eh?This development is not right?
Shouldn't she be crying and marrying her daughter to Huzi at this time?Why did you retreat instead?
Gao Ming's purpose was to help Huzi facilitate this marriage, not to disturb him, so when he saw Chen's retreat, he immediately coughed twice.

"Cough cough, that... Hu Zi said, his mother also likes Xiao Hua, so it's not considered high-ranking, uh... You know, Hu Zi is a dutiful son."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Mrs. Chen nodded immediately.

"Huzi is a good boy. I know this. It's all because of the poor eyesight of the women back then. Now it's not the right family. If Huzi still thinks about Xiaohua, let Xiaohua be a tea-serving waiter by his side. Maid girl!"

clever:"……"

What the hell is it that a daughter-in-law turns into a maid in seconds?

Gao Ming already knew about the strict hierarchy of Datang, but what he didn't expect was that the opinion of the sect was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there were mothers who took the initiative to let their daughters be maids.

In fact, Gao Ming didn't know that at this time, Mrs. Chen had already regretted everything.

"If Xiaohua had been married to Huzi back then, wouldn't she be the general's wife now?"

As the saying goes, "A poor friend should not be forgotten, and a poor wife should not go to court." If Mrs. Chen had married her daughter to Hu Zi before he made a fortune, then she would naturally be able to secure the position of the general's wife, but not now.

In Chen's eyes, not to mention the governor of Puzhou City, even a small clerk in the governor's mansion is a big shot, but now Gao Ming told him that Huzi's status is still higher than that of the governor of Puzhou. She couldn't even think about Gao Pan.

This is like an ordinary girl in later generations. If she can marry the county magistrate, it will undoubtedly be a happy thing. If she can marry the mayor, it is already a surprise. Generally, no one would think of marrying directly to the central government. Because that's not realistic.

Even people who have emancipated their minds more than 1000 years later are like this, let alone people who are deeply rooted in feudal thinking today.

Looking at Chen's expression of "I don't dare to climb high", Gao Ming also understood that he seemed to be doing a disservice, he thought for a while, and immediately smacked his lips.

"Tsk...Actually, Huzi really likes Xiaohua. Why don't you let Xiaohua be your concubine first, and when Huzi and his mother like her, then let Xiaohua be your regular wife."

Gao Ming is taking the route of "saving the country with a curve", because he knows that Huzi and Han Liushi must like Xiaohua, as long as they agree, Xiaohua's "regularization" will naturally not be a problem.

But what Gao Ming didn't expect was that after hearing his words, Chen immediately waved his hand.

"No, no, no...you don't need to be a regular wife, just be a concubine, just be a concubine, I'll go back and tell her father the good news!"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Chen ran away happily, and was dumbfounded when she saw Gao Ming.

"So easily satisfied?"

In the Tang Dynasty, the status of concubines is actually not high, they are just better than maids, and many concubines are even sent back and forth. Li Yin said before that he would send a few women to Hu Zi, which is what he actually meant Case.

But now Mrs. Chen seems to be eager for her daughter to be a concubine, which makes Gao Ming a little helpless.

"This world is so complicated, it seems that I am still too young!"

Gao Ming didn't know that in a situation like Xiaohua's, letting her be Huzi's concubine was already the best result.

Xiaohua was already married at the beginning, but the marriage was interrupted because the groom died. Although this has nothing to do with Xiaohua, in everyone's eyes, Xiaohua is a "Kefu" woman.

Few people believe in the saying "Kefu" in later generations, but it has almost become "common sense" in this era, so after Xiaohua came back, the people who proposed marriage disappeared completely, and no matchmaker came to the door for two consecutive months .

Datang is not like later generations with more men than women. On the contrary, men in Datang have always been scarce because of the war. Will want a "Keff" woman?

Moreover, the men in Datang are generally lolicons. In their view, only girls under the age of 16 are considered beautiful. Once they exceed this age, they become "slow-selling goods" and "old yellow flowers".

This can be seen from the words used to describe the age of girls, because only some people say that girls are "two-eight years old". Has anyone ever heard of "two-nine years old" or "three-eight years old"?

Xiaohua has now reached the marriageable age of Datang. If it takes two or three years, what awaits her in the end may very well be a lonely fate.

Under such circumstances, Xiaohua's ability to marry as a concubine is obviously a good result and cannot be better.

And in Chen's view, now that Huzi has become such a big official, as long as Xiaohua has a child of Huzi in the future, it is not impossible for the mother to be more expensive than the child. Such a good thing, many daughters of rich families will touch it. Not yet!
In Datang, there are not so many rules for taking concubines. To put it bluntly, it is like buying a piece of furniture at home. The boss delivers the goods to the door, and then the buyer sees when it is suitable, and then sends the money. A day or something, and not particular about it all depends on the mood.

For example, this is the case at Xiaohua's house.

When Mrs. Chen came home and told the family about this, Xiaohua's father immediately agreed, and the couple made up their minds and sent Xiaohua to Huzi's home in the evening.

At this time, Gao Ming and the others were just about to have dinner, and they were taken aback when they saw the Chen couple bringing their daughter here, but after the other party explained their intentions, Gao Ming couldn't help but laugh.

"Isn't that too insignificant?"

It is obviously impossible to refuse, because doing so would be humiliating, so Gao Ming can only ask Huzi to call the Chen couple "father-in-law and mother-in-law", and then let them have a meal, and then ask Huzi to help them. They send out.

Xiaohua's house is less than [-] meters away from Huzi's house, so Huzi came back after going out for a while, and then looked at Xiaohua in the yard with a smirk.

"Hey Hey Hey……"

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming was also quite helpless.

"It's not a waste of effort for other people to marry a wife. It's good for Huzi. The father-in-law and mother-in-law directly sent the daughter to the door, and they didn't pay a penny, so they spent it with a meal."

Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly felt that the men in Datang were actually quite happy.

Seeing Hu Zi giggling, Gao Ming immediately gave him a kick, and then laughed and scolded: "Hey, why don't you take her into the house?"

Hearing Gao Ming's reminder, Hu Zi reacted immediately, and led Xiao Hua to Gao Ming's room.

At this moment, Gao Ming was a little dumbfounded.

"Huzi, let him bring the woman into the house, why did he bring the woman into my house? Damn, this little brother is too honest, even his wife is filial. I, the boss, are under a lot of pressure."

Just when Gao Ming was about to speak to remind Hu Zi, he heard Xiao Hua's screams coming from the room.

"what……"

Hearing the scream, Gao Ming hurried over.

As soon as he entered the room, Gao Ming saw Xiao Hua fainted on the ground, followed by Huzi with a dazed face and Ben Ben with a cute face.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately covered his forehead.

"Could this be the legendary 'send the sheep to the tiger's mouth'? I'm so fucking drunk!"
