Chastity Layman

  Chapter 1176 Xiao Biesheng Newly Married

  Taiping.

  As soon as Qin Lang's fleet entered the port, the princess brought people to the pier to greet her in person.

  Seeing Qin Lang, the princess not only didn't blame and dissatisfy at all, she even asked about his health and caring notes, so that Qin Lang didn't feel very guilty.

   "I was going to come back a long time ago, but I was delayed by something. I'm sorry for leaving you here alone."

   "The male leads the outside, the female leads the inside, this is the fiefdom of our Qin family, so naturally it is also my home."

  Qin Lang took the princess's hand and went back to Wei Gongbao. The merchants along the way saluted Qin Lang and the princess one after another.

   "My husband is really loved here!"

   "Princess is also very popular here." Qin Lang laughed.

  Back to the mansion, take a bath and change clothes, and the whole person is much more energetic.

  Princess clings to Qin Lang, serving tea and pouring water. She even hangs up the lavender sachet that she has been doing with nothing to do these days, and puts a jade pendant on him.

   "This is a gift from my father during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Jade can keep you safe. Saburo often runs outside and takes it with him."

  Princess was concerned about Qin Lang's health, whether he was eating well outside, whether he was living safely, whether the sea was safe, and did not ask him where he was or what he was doing these days, nor did he ask about Treasure Island and other things.

   "Tell Saburo that everything is fine with the elder sisters at home."

  Yu Xiao, Anong and other concubines came to pay their respects, Qin Lang smiled and prepared some gifts for everyone.

   "This time Sanlang is back, shouldn't he go out again for the time being?" the princess asked.

   "Well, I will accompany you well when I come back."

  That night, Qin Lang naturally wanted to stay in the princess courtyard, but the princess said he was inconvenient.

   "But it annoys me?"

   "I'm really unwell. I'll ask Yingluo Nu to accompany San Lang, or Vajra Nu, or San Lang can go to Sister Yuxiao, Sister Youhui, or Sister Anong if he wants."

  After realizing that she was on her menstrual cycle, Qin Lang chuckled.

   "It's not necessary to do something to sleep together. I just want to accompany you tonight, and I just want to sleep with you in my arms."

  The embarrassing princess's face was full of pink, and the princess was not a newlywed girl anymore, but in the end she couldn't stand Qin Lang's affectionate words, just a few words could make her face blush.

   "But according to the rules of the palace, seeing red is not allowed to sleep, it is not good."

   "How come there are such rules, we husband and wife don't pay attention to this, and besides, this is not from the palace."

   "Why don't I ask the maids to accompany you? The four maids around me were all carefully selected and brought by the palace. I will call whoever you like."

   "If you say this again, I will punish you!" Qin Lang laughed.

  There are many rules in the palace, and they are also particular.

For example, although the emperor has a lot of concubines and beauties, the emperor can't favor the harem as he likes. For example, he can't go to bed after menstruation. To sleep with the emperor.

  Furthermore, except for one empress, four concubines and nine concubines, who can take over the imperial family, the rest can only be summoned to the emperor's place to be lucky, and they often have to resign immediately afterwards, and they cannot stay overnight.

  There are many rules.

  Even every time the emperor visited a concubine in the harem, there was a special **** who was responsible for recording everything from the name and age of the person who was lucky, to the date, date, and even the duration of the blessing, and kept them on file.

  And if the emperor didn't want the concubine to become pregnant afterwards, he might give a bowl of soup, which is for contraception, and you can't drink it.

   Only with the permission of the emperor can you conceive.

   And after the harem is pregnant, the servants have to produce the records for verification. If the time is not right, it will be very serious.

  In short, it is about the blood of the dragon, so there should be no carelessness.

  When a daughter of a famous family gets married, there will be sisters from the same clan as concubines, let alone a maidservant. These maidservants sleep in the same room with their masters and do the work for them when the master is inconvenient.

Qin Lang glanced at the beautiful big bed. This bed was actually a dowry transported thousands of miles from Luoyang. The wood used was of course the best top-grade material. A wedding bed occupies a huge area, just like a room. They are all carved, and the curtains are also beautifully embroidered. The bedding is even more embroidered on the outside and satin on the inside, with fine silk sandwiched in the middle.

  This bed is not only big, but also has steps, etc., and even comes with two accompanying beds, which are reserved for maids to sleep, and even a tea table.

When it’s cold, let the maids warm up the bed first, and then the master comes to sleep after warming up, and they sleep outside the tent. When the master wakes up in the middle of the night, they are responsible for carrying the horses, and for drinking water, they pour tea. Anyway, even if they are sleeping, these personal maids will not Will be half a step away from the owner.

  Qin Lang actually doesn't like such personal maids very much. The husband and wife can't even whisper a little bit. Even if the princess is very comfortable with these maids, and keeps saying that these are the most reassuring and caring people, Qin Lang is still not used to it.

  In the eyes of the princess and other people in this era, the personal servants are all slaves, they are all domestic slaves raised since childhood, loyal and absolutely reliable, they are like an accessory.

   "It is said that a little farewell is better than a newlywed. After a few months, there are a lot of personal things I want to say to the princess. It is better not to have anyone around."

  In the evening, no matter how the princess objected, Qin Lang stayed at her place for the night, and drove the two maidservants beside the big bed to the outside room. It is said to be an outside room, but the bedroom is actually like a big suite, and they are waiting outside, so they can be there whenever they are called.

"This time I wasted a little more time on Treasure Island, which is a large barbarian island that our family discovered in the sea in recent years. There are only some uncivilized barbarians on it, but there are vast mountains and rivers, and gold mines, so now we mine over there, and farm the fields to support ourselves.”

  Princess didn't seem very interested in this, "Anon showed me the family's account book earlier, but I didn't understand it. I only saw that our family has a lot of property, and it's like flowing water. It's really hard for Saburo."

   "I don't have any hard work, it's all the hard work of the people below."

The Qin family has a large property, which is known all over the world, but how many properties the Qin family has, and the various rumors outside, in fact, few are really clear, and even the Qin family's own stewards, few can really know the details, most of them It's one piece for each tube.

Qin Lang's family business is basically based on the framework of the group, each industry is an independent set of people, vertical management, and there are boundaries between other industries, even the exchanges between the Qin family's various industries , They also strictly follow the business rules and have detailed entry and exit accounts.

For example, the Maritime Merchant Fleet takes ships from Qin’s shipyard, and it also follows the formal process, first place an order, pay a deposit in advance, then accept the ship, pay the final payment, and even basically follow the market price in terms of price. It wouldn't be said that it was all the property of the Qin family. Taking the ship directly would cause chaos, especially with such a large family property, it would be even more chaotic.

   Moreover, each industry of the Qin family operates independently. According to the performance of the operation, the shopkeepers and guys in each industry enjoy different performance dividends.

In order to be able to coordinate and manage these industries from all walks of life, Qin Lang also has a board of deacons. The deacons at all levels in it are actually equivalent to the general office of Qin Lang's assistants, responsible for supervision, etc., and serve as a link between Qin Lang and the following. The role of each industry is a link between the past and the future.

  However, from another perspective, although the boundaries between various industries are very clear, they are all Qin family industries after all, so in the overall planning, they will still be considered comprehensively.

  For example, the Qin Family Merchant Marine Team is sure to buy ships from the Qin Family’s own shipyard, and the Qin Family Merchant Marine Team will also place orders with the various industries of the Qin Family first.

   These are all strategic partners.

The princess has roughly read the account book before, and she doesn't understand it very well, but among the people she brought, there are many professional people. After spending some time, she can basically see the comprehensiveness of the Qin family's business from the account book. , Huge in size.

For example, in mining, the Qin family is very professional and has a large scale, from gold and silver mines, to copper and iron, to sulfur, mercury, and cinnabar. Basically, the Qin family is involved in any minerals with names. From mining to smelting and processing, it can be said that the overall strength of the Qin family is among the top ten in the Tang Dynasty.

  Especially the large pieces of gold and silver ore, copper and iron, as well as charcoal and petrolatum, which are even more impressive.

  Among them, there are not only the exclusive operation of the Qin family, but also many partnerships, with comprehensive business varieties, strong technical reserves, and large-scale industrial scale.

  From the exploration of golden seedlings, to gold mining, to gold processing, the entire industrial chain is complete and advanced.

  Only in the five prefectures under Wu'an Dudufu, the Qin family is mining more than a dozen large and small gold mines, and there are also many mines in Zuoxi, Juding, Liuyi and other places outside Wu'an.

  So the Qin family is now going overseas to open mines on Treasure Island, which doesn't surprise the princess. Her people also told her before that the accounts showed that the Qin family had already mined gold mines in Linyi, Liuqiu, and even the country of Wa.

   "I will officially hand over the properties under my name and the management buddies to you in these two days."

   "This is your dowry, naturally I kept it for myself."

   "Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, I married into the Qin family, of course I still leave these to my husband, originally these are all obtained by my husband's business in the past ten years."

  Qin Lang smiled and said, "When Empress Wende gave me some farms, shops and money for you, I said I would take care of them for you. The business has been good these years, but this is still yours."

The most important reason for the high status of women in the Tang Dynasty was that they had certain economic power. For example, women generally had a dowry. The law clearly stipulated that this dowry belonged to women’s personal property, and the husband had no right to dispose of it. . Therefore, with a dowry in hand, women can always have a good status in their husband's family, but because poor families cannot afford to buy a dowry for their daughters, it is easy to fail to marry, or to marry poorly.

  A woman’s dowry is usually given to her children after her death. The husband has no inheritance rights.
