Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 183 Habit of Respect
Chapter 82 Habits of Respect

Chen Ying looked at Lan'er suspiciously.

He couldn't figure out what was going on in Lan'er's little head.

Maybe seeing Chen Ying's doubts, Lan'er paused, looked at Chen Ying with resentment on his face, and said, "Mr. How fierce. The concubine is specially bullied by the big woman. At that time, the gentleman will not be able to make decisions for Lan'er. If someone catches the handle and charges a concubine with killing his wife, it will be a disaster. Even if it is Concubine, it's fine to be bullied by a big woman, but if a big woman is jealous, she won't have much time to serve your husband."

In ancient times, wives and concubines can be like clouds, and wives and concubines can be in groups, enjoying the blessing of being equal to everyone.

In fact, this is a misunderstanding. The system of monogamy and multiple concubines in ancient China is not a system of polygamy.

The ancient law protected the rights and interests of the main wife, but concubines were not within the scope of protection.Even if the main wife kills the concubine's room, if it doesn't work, it's just a fine of copper.

Of course, the main wife also has great power, such as controlling the family's property, such as arranging the concubine's sexual affairs, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Even if the concubine is sold, it is still the legitimate right of the wife.

Lan'er looked at Chen Ying with a sad expression, as if she didn't see it.

She smiled faintly: "Lan'er will be Lang Jun's personal servant girl. Lan'er's master is only Lang Jun. Even if a doctor comes in in the future, she will not be able to support Lan'er."

Chen Ying felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he heard this.

Looking at Lan'er with a resentful face, Chen Ying didn't know how to comfort Lan'er.Although Chen Ying was a man in two lifetimes, in fact he really lacked experience in dealing with women.

He was dumbfounded.

Lan'er had a smile on her face, but in fact, her heart seemed to be broken.She knew that her status was humble and she was not qualified to ask Chen Ying what to do.

Laner left slowly.

Chen Ying was a little at a loss.

Laner got up and blew out the candles.

The bedroom was plunged into darkness.

Chen Ying was lying on the bed thinking about it. To be precise, Lan'er was Chen Ying's maidservant. In theory, she could do anything, even if she was killed, she would only pay a sum of money to the government.

It's just that Chen Ying, a country bumpkin, hasn't really adapted to his new identity, and he can't integrate into the era of Datang. His thinking, his way of doing things, and his conscience make him incompatible with Datang.

He couldn't treat his maid as an ant, let alone impose his own happiness on others.

It's not because he doesn't dare, but because he is used to living independently. He dresses, eats, washes clothes, and even does housework by himself. For everyone in the mansion, he habitually considers their feelings.

Because, this is respect.

For everyone's respect, no occupation has nothing to do, no status has nothing to do, and it has nothing to do with identity.

Chen should respect everyone, which is a habit of his own origin.

It is precisely because of this that he has no necessary awe for everyone.

I fell asleep in a daze.

Chen Ying hurriedly changed his clothes, didn't even wash his face, and ran out of Marquis Marquis Mansion as if he were running away.

Walking out of the Marquis of Martial Arts Mansion, the streets and markets of Chang'an were also deserted at this time.

Chen Ying didn't know what to do, and unknowingly, he wandered aimlessly for an hour. At this time, the flow of people on the street became more and more.

"Cuckoo..."

It wasn't until this moment that Chen Ying felt the hunger in his stomach.Seeing a snack shop selling mutton soup by the side of the road, Chen Ying just raised his legs and walked over, but found that there was no money in his pocket.

A penny is hard for a hero, and Chen Ying is exactly like that at this time.

But just as Chen Ying turned around to return to Marquis Wugong's mansion, he suddenly found the signboard of Xu Ji's inn.

Chen Ying doesn't have many acquaintances in Chang'an City, and the shopkeeper of Xu's Inn is just one of them.Chen Ying wanted to borrow a few pennies from Mrs. Xu's family, and she probably wouldn't refuse.

Chen Ying stepped up and walked towards the Xuji Inn. At this time, Datang was still used to having two meals, morning and evening. Although it was only about ten o'clock in the later generations, there were already a lot of wine and food shops in front of the inn. guest.

As soon as Chen Ying walked in the door, the beautiful and charming shopkeeper Xu Erniang came up to greet her: "Oh... I wonder why the magpie is squeaking on the branches today. It turns out that you are here, Mr. Chen... But Mr. Chen It’s been a while since I’ve been here, so that the servants will remember..."

Naturally, Chen Ying would not take Xu Erniang's greetings seriously, and said to Xu Erniang: "I haven't come here for a while, come and try Xu Ji's special dishes!"

"Good!" Xu Erniang swayed three times, twisting her waist to lead Chen Ying into the private room.

Entering the private room, just as Chen Ying sat down, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from the private room next door.When Chen Ying heard this, he immediately laughed and thought to himself: "Chang'an City is really pitifully small, and I met another acquaintance!"

The so-called compartment is just a layer of thin wood, not to mention talking loudly, even if you fart, the next door can still hear it clearly.

Chen Ying couldn't tell who was the guest in the private room next door.But there is definitely Yu Zhengyang who claims to be the hero of Guanzhong.

I just heard Yu Zhengyang say: "...Wu Guandian buys a woman, and the Guo brothers will protect you. Although this woman is not a young girl, she can have children. She has already given birth to two boys. You buy her Go back, in a year or so, give birth to a son and send him there."

The person who Yu Zhengyang's Wuguanqian called Guo's brother murmured, "But... but... Wuguanqian is too much!"

Yu Zhengyang said loudly: "It's really not many, just the Zhang family's buttocks and waist, you can tell that it is a good child. This place grows good seedlings, and the Zhang family's is the wife of an official family. Normally, she I can take a look at you..."

At this moment, Erniang Xu entered slowly, carrying a tray.

Xu Erniang was about to open her mouth, but Chen Ying quietly stretched out her index finger and put it in front of her mouth.

Xu Erniang put it gently on the tray, and Chen Yingzhan pointed to the private room opposite, and said in a low voice, "Who is Yu Zhengyang trying to harm?"

Xu Erniang shook her head, expressing that she didn't know.

Chen Ying carefully recalled the words "five pennies to buy a woman" in his head. Buying and selling people, no matter which dynasty or generation they belong to, is illegal.

Especially at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the population dropped sharply, which is a crime against the wind.

Chen Ying was a man for two generations. He hated corrupt officials, and he also hated the crime of buying and selling people who separated his wives.

Chen Ying was just about to ask Xu Erniang to call Yu Zhengyang in for questioning, but suddenly he heard a shout from outside the door: "Yu, let my wife go, or I will fight you!"

"Good Zhang Yanyu, you still dare to come!" Yu Zhengyang said: "I have paid back the money owed to the master, and the master will return your mother-in-law to you."

Hearing the familiar name "Zhang Yanyu", Chen Ying subconsciously put down her chopsticks, raised the curtain and leaned out to look out.

But I saw two idle men, one on the left and the other on the right, supporting Zhang Yanyu with disheveled hair.

Zhang Yanyu struggled desperately, but his thin body couldn't move at all.

Yu Zhengyang said arrogantly: "Don't say that the master bullied you, you have to pay back the money, or get someone to pay off the debt, just your yellow-faced woman, you can't sell even five pennies."

Chen Yingzhao waved, Xu Erniang saw Chen Ying waving, and immediately walked over.

Chen Ying asked suspiciously: "What's the deal with this pawn sale? Can a living person still pawn it?"

Xu Erniang said: "Your Majesty is a nobleman, so naturally I don't know it. In Chang'an City, there are many poor people who can't marry a wife. But there are three unfilial acts, and having no offspring is the biggest. Marrying a wife is not just a gift, but more Eat with one mouth, so folks have pawns and buys!"
