Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 278 Chapter 270
The Gao family does not support idlers, even if Yan Ji is 54 years old, she has to work in the weaving room with her two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law every day.

The weaving room in Jinyang has always been the place where criminal women are housed. Among them, the beautiful and noble people will be remarried by the powerful or taken as concubine.

Gao Cheng's concubine Lu Niang was taken away by him in the weaving room.

Of course, this kind of thing is destined to have no chance with Yan Ji and others. Yan Ji and her two sister-in-laws are old, but my sister-in-law is just right in age and looks beautiful.

After all, in the Eastern Wei Dynasty where the Gao family was in power, no one wanted to have anything to do with the Yuwen family.

After all, the weaving room under Gao's rule was not an official brothel like the Jiaofangsi of the later generations.

In the weaving room, the sound of locomotive locomotives can be heard endlessly. Since it is difficult to communicate with the outside world, there is no news, so Yan Ji and others don't know about the envoy from the Western Wei Dynasty.

Eleven years have passed since Ge Rong was defeated in the first year of Yong'an (528) and the Yuwen clan was moved to Jinyang.

In the first year of Putai (531), after Yuwenhu, Yuwendao, and He Lanxiang were taken to Kansai by Yuwentai, Yan Ji and others have been waiting for their uncle to rescue them. This wait is 8 years.

Over the years, Yan Ji and others have not always been criminal women. At least before Yu Wentai set up a separate center and offended Gao Huan, they were all raised in Jinyang as guests.

The days of being pampered and pampered came to an abrupt end five years ago, and all the men who stayed in Jinyang were killed, leaving only my sister-in-law's two sons, Qiu Bin and Qiu Chong, who escaped because they were too young, and were only punished as a prisoner. dawn.

The so-called Chengdan is a kind of imprisonment for male prisoners since the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Before Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty, both Chengdan and the pounding of female prisoners were life imprisonment. Since Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty, the maximum sentence was changed to six years.

The "Taichang Law" implemented by Gao Cheng even changed the sentence to five years.

It stands to reason that whether it is Yan Ji and the others or the Qiu family brothers, they should be released after serving their sentences this year. However, it is precisely because of their Yuwen family background that makes them different from other prisoners. If there is no accident, they will basically be indefinitely. Imprisoned.

Yan Ji in history was not released until the Gao family and Yuwen family changed their offensive and defensive positions, and she was already 80 years old at that time.

Even though the weaving room is isolated from the outside world, criminal women are often sent here, and the women of Yuwen's family can always know some news from the outside world.

They longed for their relatives to welcome them, but the two Weis had never had any contact.

After the Shayuan War, they heard that Yuwentai had won a great victory and had captured many people. They thought they would use this to redeem themselves, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Up to now, Yan Ji and the others have no longer fantasized about it, they have realized that the so-called man has ambitions everywhere and is not to be dragged down by personal affairs.

Maybe Yuwentai himself can't remember that there are three widows and one younger sister who fell in Jinyang.

Maybe remember, but only when they are dead.

When the four of them were weaving in the weaving room as usual, a group of black armored knights broke in suddenly, and the leader named them and took them away, leaving only a group of stunned criminal women in the weaving room looking at each other.

Yan Ji and the others were taken to the Bohai Prince's Mansion, before entering the door, the four of them made some guesses and all showed joy.

It could only be someone from Kansai, otherwise why would they bring the four wives to the Bohai Palace if they really wanted to deal with them.

Sure enough, just after entering the lobby, a scribe bowed down to the four of them, expressing his thoughts on behalf of Yuwentai, Yuwenhu and others.

Gao Cheng in the hall coughed and reminded:
"After negotiating the price, it's not too late to talk about the old days."

The people in the hall stopped their greetings.

"Xitongguan is the gateway to Guanzhong. It is absolutely impossible to give it away. Please don't blame the general. The prime minister has something to say. He only wants to redeem each other with money. Neither a city nor a place can be ceded."

The envoy rejected Gao Cheng's previous request.

Gao Cheng was not annoyed, he also knew that it was impossible for Yuwentai to give up the Guanzhong portal for the sake of a few women.

His eyes swept over the four women, three of them were old onions, and the remaining one was good-looking and looked 26 or [-] years old. It should be Yu Wentai's younger sister.

If Yu Wentai is really willing to pay a good price, he really doesn't intend to force these four women to stay. To be honest, it's useless to keep them.

Gao Cheng pondered again and again, and said under the expectant eyes of Yan Ji and others:

"Well, Yuwentai's three sister-in-laws are old and decrepit, so they each price a thousand pieces of silk. As for their younger sisters, who are young and beautiful, I like them very much, so they price two thousand pieces of cloth, totaling five pieces of silk. How about a thousand horses?"

Aunt Yuwen blushed when she heard the words, but she was the first to say because she cared about her two sons:
"I am lucky to be favored by the General, but I still have two sons in Jinyang, and I hope the General will accommodate me."

Gao Cheng was overjoyed when he heard the words:

"A man and a woman are not the same price. If so, I will take the whole price. Yu Wentai gave me [-] pieces of cloth and silk, and I released his sister-in-law, sister and two nephews."

The envoys complained endlessly in their hearts, how could you not grab [-] pieces of cloth and silk.

"Can you pay a thousand pieces of cloth and silk first, and then pay back slowly after I bring him back to Chang'an."

The envoy asked tentatively.

Unexpectedly, Gao Cheng exploded immediately when he heard that the installments were going to be made. No one knows that Gao Aocao has a brain.

"You Zi and Yu Wentai went back and made it clear that there must be no less than [-] pieces of cloth. I will take him to Luoyang and wait for a month. If the [-] pieces of cloth are not received after one month, I will find another family for his three widowed sisters-in-law, and make it a good deed, to see if Yu Wentai has the face to go down to Jiuquan to meet his father and brother. People go to Kansai to ask for gift money."

After all, he ordered people to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and let the four female family members of the Yuwen family dictate, and Zhang Shiqi wrote the family letter on his behalf.

Just when everyone's attention was on Zhang Shiqi's pen, which was recording Yan Ji's dictation, Aunt Yuwen glanced at Gao Cheng from time to time, her eyes blurred.

Maybe it was Gao Cheng's words just now that stirred up her withered heart.

Husband Qiu Yuan and Yu Wentai followed He Bayue into the customs, and he has not seen each other for 11 years.

A 27-year-old woman who hasn't been in the rain for 11 years can't stand the teasing of a handsome young man like Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng also noticed Aunt Yuwen's strange expression. As the saying goes, a wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief. Thinking of this woman's identity, there seemed to be a flame burning in his heart.

However, Gao Cheng suppressed this evil fire for the time being. He has always been able to control himself.

The envoy received four letters from home and threats from Gao Cheng, and left with a bitter face.

Yan Ji and the other four were also sent back to work in the weaving room.

The four people are absent-minded, but each has their own thoughts. The three sisters-in-law look forward to getting out of the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible, but Aunt Yuwen's heart is full of lust.

It is easy to start a fire, but difficult to put it out.

Once some things are brought to mind, it is difficult to control, no matter men or women.

On the same day, someone took Yan Ji and other four people away with a warrant, and the three sisters-in-law were separated, ignored and not allowed to go free.

It's just that Aunt Yuwen has disappeared for the time being.

　On the 12th of next month, I will send out red envelopes to everyone.
