The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 331

Mrs. Xing whom Song Qingyue met in Xiguang Palace.

Seeing Song Qingyue, Mrs. Xing almost burst into tears, as if she couldn't stand upright, her knees softened and she knelt down for Song Qingyue: "Princess, concubine, my wife... my wife..."

"Mrs. Xing, get up quickly, don't worry, and speak slowly if you have anything to say."

Song Qingyue asked Madam Xing to show her some tea.Mrs. Xing brewed 20-year-old white tea, and in her cup was barley tea worth a dozen cents a catty.

But at this moment, Mrs. Xing's mind was already in a mess, and she didn't notice it at all.

Her mind was full of the heavy and solemn side entrance of the palace, and the luxury of the room in Xiguang Palace.

The former girl next door has become the hostess of this huge palace!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xing knelt down to Song Qingyue again.

"Princess Wangfei! Please redeem my wife's crime of recklessness, but... my wife doesn't know what to do now."

"Madam! You don't have to do this!" Song Qingyue stepped forward to help her up, "Madam and my mother are on good terms. Mr. Zhuangyuan and my brother are from the same discipline. If Madam has any difficulties, my concubine will naturally not stand idly by."

Just one sentence comforted Mrs. Xing.

But she was holding the teacup, her posture was very stiff, her face was full of sorrow, she still hesitated and didn't know how to speak.

"Madam, just tell the truth, I always need to know what difficulties you have before I can help you, don't I?"

Mrs. Xing sighed twice, and then slowly said: "I don't know if the princess knows about the matter of His Royal Highness coming in in Nanzhili?"

The harem of this dynasty is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the rules in the royal backyard are especially strict.But Mrs. Xing heard that Song Qingyue was very favored by the eldest prince, so she came here with the mentality of giving it a try.

If Song Qingyue didn't want to help, she just shook her head and said she didn't know.

But to Mrs. Xing's surprise, Song Qingyue nodded frankly, and said, "I've heard about such a big event. The Xing family is a prominent family in Luzhou Prefecture, but was it also affected by this incident?"

Hearing what Song Qingyue said, Mrs. Xing nodded overjoyed and said, "Actually, it's not just the Xing family, even my natal family..."

"Where is Madam's natal family?"

"The minister's wife is from the Wu family in Suzhou Prefecture."

Song Qingyue understood that if it was the Suzhou government, it would suffer disaster earlier than the Luzhou government.

"The lady's natal family?"

Mrs. Xing's eyes turned red, and she picked up the handkerchief and touched the corners of her eyes lightly: "For a big family like ours, the direct branch is fine, but the side branch is hard to say. It is inevitable that they will do some dirty things for their livelihood. But if it is for that The matter is going to copy the whole family, which is also..."

Song Qingyue nodded, and waited for Mrs. Xing to calm down before slowly asking: "Then madam thinks what His Highness has done in Nanzhili this time is right or wrong? The matter itself, is it right or wrong?"

Mrs. Xing was stunned by Song Qingyue's question.

Song Qingyue had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty wants officials and gentry to pay for food as a whole. Madam should know about this, right?"

"This matter... a courtier's wife is a girl who doesn't know state affairs, let alone right or wrong. However, it has been a rule since ancient times that no one is paid at the top of the list. If it weren't for this, who else would be willing to live in poverty for ten years? To serve the court?"

"But why do scholars study, take imperial examinations, and become officials? For the court? Or for the prosperity of their own family? Is it for the sake of the prosperity of their own family that they can disregard the livelihood of the people in the world?"

Mrs. Xing was almost stunned by Song Qingyue's words, this is getting further and further away!
So she couldn't help but called out again pleadingly: "Princess Wangfei!"

"Ma'am!" Song Qingyue suddenly raised her voice without backing down, "If a family raises a son, it doesn't have to pay the grain. If the son and officials accept the donated land, the Great Zhou Dynasty will go on from generation to generation, and there will always be people who are called poor. At a time when there is no place to stand. At that time, where will the court's taxes come from? If the court has no money, what will the government use to build river embankments, build city walls, and raise an army to resist the iron cavalry of the northern Tartars?"

"This...how did your mother get involved with the tartars again? Besides, your majesty's firearms battalion is so powerful, how dare the tartars?"

"Why don't you dare? If the court has no money and can't pay the military salary in time, will the generals of the frontier army try to get money? Madam, do you know how many waste guns the firearms battalion can produce in a month? But the generals of the firearms battalion are a little bit crooked. , sell some of those waste guns to the Tatars, how does Madam know that they cannot imitate them? Madam, if the Tatar cavalry are going south now, how much silver are you willing to donate to help the imperial court recruit soldiers and horses, and strengthen the frontiers? Army? Or, anyway, you are in the south, and the Tartars can’t get there, so you can just ignore it?”

Mrs. Xing was so speechless by Song Qingyue that she couldn't think of a reason to refute.

Song Qingyue went all out, and continued to speak clearly: "Scholars who read the books of sages, in the end, are only for the prosperity of their families and disregarding the lives of the people in the world. What use do the court want them for such scholars?"

However, no matter how reasonable Song Qingyue said, her mother's family and her husband's family will all suffer, and Mrs. Xing will not care about that much!

Tears rolled down Mrs. Xing's cheeks. She stood up, knelt down to Song Qingyue, and said sadly: "Yes, your mother is right, but I am the daughter-in-law of the Xing family and the daughter of the Wu family. Now that the family is in trouble, I always Can't I just do nothing? The minister's wife has a small vision and can only see the three-acre land at home. I don't care about the family. What else can I do? Princess Wangfei, you said that you would not stand idly by. You Show me the way!"

"Divide the family." Song Qingyue spit out two words coldly, "For the present plan, the only way is to divide the family, and divide the family properly. The land that should not be taken will be returned. The tax that should be paid will be paid back, according to His Majesty's instructions. Means to do, only this is the way to survive."

"Separation... This is to make our families unable to survive, His Majesty is so cruel!"

"Ma'am, don't say that. This is His Highness, His Majesty's benevolence to the people of the world! This world is not a world of one family and one surname, and it is not a world of scholars, but a world of thousands of farmers!"

Mrs. Xing was overwhelmed by Song Qingyue's aura.

She stared at Song Qingyue in a daze, only to see the woman in front of her with bright eyes, a serious face and a candid attitude.

Song Qingyue helped her up and personally sent her out of the palace.

Mrs. Xing stepped into the sedan chair and Song Qingyue said a few more words: "Madam, I know you are thinking that I am also cruel. But Mrs. Xing will understand. You can relay my words to him as much as you want. If he is a man with great ambitions Yes, you will understand what I say today."

"Yes, thank you, princess."

The sedan chair wobbled, making Mrs. Xing a little dazed.

What Song Qingyue thought and said had nothing to do with a woman in the back house, and her shock was no less than when she learned that His Highness the First Prince led 10 people to surround the capital.

After Xing Zhuangyuan returned home in the evening, Mrs. Xing couldn't wait to repeat Song Qingyue's words to Xing Zhuangyuan.

Xing Zhuangyuan was speechless for a long time after hearing this, and finally said with a wry smile: "I am not as good as Song Gong."

"Why did my husband say that?" Mrs. Xing was a little speechless, at this time, her husband still wanted to compare herself with Mr. Song Ge.

But Xing Zhuangyuan said: "Being able to raise such a daughter shows the grandeur of Song Ge." Then he sighed and said: "I will write a letter and go home. Do as the princess suggested."

"Husband!" Mrs. Xing bit her lips, "After the family is separated, the big clan will no longer be a big clan!"

Xing Zhuangyuan lowered his eyes and said softly: "Song Ge was separated from the Song family early on, didn't he? Look at the current situation of the Song family's direct branch? Divide it up, sooner or later. The queen concubine of Jin is right. Yes, this world is not the world of scholars."

He stood up and walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, and said: "Madam will often go to the Song Mansion in the future. If Princess Jin does something, it would be better for Madam to participate."

"Husband, what do you mean?" Mrs. Xing was worried, feeling that her husband was going to say something terrible.

Sure enough, Xing Zhuangyuan nodded: "If His Royal Highness seals the crown prince in the future, I will go to Mao Sui and recommend myself to be his official in the East Palace."

Madam Xing's eyes were about to pop out: "You are going to stand on His Highness's side so early? Master! Don't be joking!"

Xing Zhuangyuan seemed relaxed but helpless and said: "Your Majesty wants to do too much, and it will not simply end. Nanzhili is just the beginning. Not to mention whether it will succeed, at least our Xing family and your natal family are We can't escape. If we want to make a comeback, we must make plans early." He suddenly turned around and grabbed Mrs. Xing's hand: "Madam, we are a husband and wife, and we are as one, you must believe me!"

Mrs. Xing still did not give up: "Is there really no other way? Your Majesty and His Royal Highness are so heartless, you should help them do things!"

Xing Zhuangyuan looked at his wife's still frowning, patted the back of her hand, and gave her a comforting smile.

At the same time, he began to have a bold idea in his heart: not only his son, but also his own daughter and granddaughter, he must also cultivate them well.

While pondering this in his heart, he lamented the gap between himself and Song Ge Lao.

For a long time, Xing Zhuangyuan regarded Mr. Song Ge as his role model in life.

The more you get to know him, the more you are amazed by his vision and mind.

It turns out that Song Chenhai and Song Chenxu are not the only two brothers who are powerful in the Song family. The Princess Jin is not inferior to her two elder brothers.

For a long time, rumors about the beauty of the princess became more and more popular, and people even praised her as the most beautiful woman in the big week.

But if it wasn't for the conversation Mrs. Wang went to the palace today, who would know that the princess is a woman of great wisdom, and I am afraid that there is no one in the capital who can compare with her.

Now he also finally understands why His Majesty, a prince with a scheming strategy beyond the reach of ordinary people, was deceived by his appearance and chose a concubine to be his concubine, and His Majesty even agreed.

With such a wife to assist, why worry about His Royal Highness not being able to inherit the throne in the future?
Xing Zhuangyuan once again strengthened his determination to serve Li Zhao as an official of the Eastern Palace in the future, and he even wanted to raise another daughter or granddaughter like Miss Song San.

Li Zhao's backyard Xing Zhuangyuan dare not worry about it anymore. With such a concubine, other women will not be able to get over it no matter what, but he can look forward to the future little prince of Jin!

Song Qingyue, who was raising her baby with peace of mind at home, didn't know that the little lump of meat in her stomach was already missed by someone!
