Chapter 105 The Qin Family Ancestors Are Afraid of Their Daughters-in-law
"Sir, I was confused for a moment, I hope you can forgive me!" Xuan Niang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhang Yong regardless of the pain on her face.
"Since it has nothing to do with us, we will go ahead and Sir Zhang can do his job with peace of mind."
Su Qianqian nodded slightly and gestured to the three elders to go first.
The third master walked to the door, turned around to look at Xuan Niang who was looking up at him in panic, turned around and walked out with his robe.
[The body is like duckweed, life is like grass!] 】The system sighed.
None of the three spoke along the way, and the third master followed behind on horseback with his head down.
After returning to the mansion, Meng went to her own courtyard first, and the Third Master followed behind. Not long after, Su Qianqian, who was sitting in the sedan chair, heard quick footsteps coming from the other side. She turned around and saw the Third Master running over and heading straight to his son's courtyard...
During lunch, Su Qianqian deliberately went to Fushoutang a little later to give Old Madam Qin time to deal with the matter. After all, everyone would feel embarrassed in front of the younger generation.
When Su Qianqian walked into Fushou Hall, she was surprised to find that Qin Hanzhang was also there. Shouldn't he be in the yamen at this time? He, the new commander-in-chief, is quite a bad guy.
Seeing the Third Master's dusty and dirty appearance, Madam Qin must have punished him. But it was unclear how she punished him. Except for those on duty who had not returned yet, everyone else was there.
"Don't blame your mother for not showing you any mercy and humiliating you in front of the younger generations. You violated the ancestral teachings and did such a thing. It is not only a humiliation to Xinyue, but also a humiliation to our ancestors. You will not be spared from the punishment you deserve according to the family rules."
Madam Qin lowered her eyes and dealt with it. Su Qianqian secretly thought about violating this ancestral family rule:
If a son secretly takes a concubine, he shall be caned with 50 strokes of the cane and fined half of the monthly silver, which shall be given to the principal wife. The concubine shall not be allowed to receive support from the public, and the principal wife may sell the concubine at will. If a son keeps a mistress, he shall be caned with 100 strokes of the cane and fined half of the monthly silver, which shall be given to the principal wife. The mistress shall be dismissed, and the principal wife may deal with her at will.
So cruel! The ancestors never indulged their own descendants. Su Qianqian suspected that this ancestral precept was set because they were afraid of her daughter-in-law's ancestors.
Mrs. Meng was very calm at this time and didn't say much. The third master stood up and knelt down: "My son is willing to be punished."
Su Qianqian: It doesn’t matter whether you are willing or not…
However, the Third Master will have a hard life in the future. His salary has to be handed over to the palace, but he is exempted from receiving monthly salary. Does he have to ask his son to borrow money to entertain his colleagues? It’s hard to think about it.
And there are those one hundred sticks. Even if he has experience in the military camp, at his age, if he takes them, he will have to lie down for at least a month!
As for being dealt with by his wife, I'm afraid Meng won't let him off easily...
The lunch was a bit dull. After the meal, the younger girls and wives hurried back to their own courtyards. Madam Qin went to the ancestral hall in person to supervise and punish the third master.
Su Qianqian returned to her own yard, and Qin Hanzhang followed closely beside her.
"News came from my father-in-law's house. Miss Three married my cousin from the Qi family as his legal wife as a concubine. It was said that she got it in exchange for a generous dowry. Zhang claimed to be seriously ill and was afraid that her family members would be sick and not allowed to have contact with her."
Qin Hanzhang's warm and magnetic voice is very pleasant to the ear.
[A generous dowry?]
In the past, Zhang had no right to inquire about your mother's dowry except when your sister got married. Your mother had already arranged the share for your sister before she died, so your sister got married with a luxurious dowry.
When it came to you, you were so shabby that you had to pass off inferior goods as good ones and save as much as you could. Otherwise, you wouldn't have become so poor in the Marquis' Mansion.
The shop is not making any money, but you don't want anyone to know. The monthly salary you are given is quite a lot, but your expenses are also not small. You can't save any private money because you have no way to make money.
Su Miaomiao's dowry was generous. Either Old Madam Su secretly used your mother's dowry, or your father used his own money to supplement it. Zhang was just a concubine, so she didn't have any decent dowry when she got married. 】
The system gave Su Qianqian an analysis.
[It’s okay for my mother not to give me her dowry, but I can’t give it to her. It will be used as a betrothal gift to Runhe in the future. How can I let it go to Young Master Su for free? It seems that I have to go back to my parents’ home in two days. I haven’t been back since I got married. 】
Su Qianqian was going to go back to the Su family to meet her grandmother. She had tortured poor Jiang all her life, and even wanted to use her dowry to do favors and bully her children. She could just dream about her old age!
Qin Hanzhang: What Su Sanshao meant was blind, where did the allusion come from?
Su Qianqian: My mother’s method of breaking down Chinese characters…
Su Qianqian was just thinking about how to talk about returning to the Su family when Qin Hanzhang opened his mouth and said:
"You have never been home since you married into the Marquis's mansion. At that time, I was away on a military expedition and had no choice. Now that I am back, I have to go and pay my respects to my parents. And since there is a happy event at my father-in-law's house, I have to go and congratulate him. We should pick a day and go to the Grand Tutor's mansion."
Su Qianqian blinked. Is this the legendary understanding? This tacit understanding is exactly what I like!
I quickly nodded and agreed.
[The Marquis did not return home for no reason. He is by your side...]
"Su, the Daliang envoys are about to come to the capital. To show the great power of our country, we will hold a palace banquet for a thousand people. The women in your family will also have to go to the palace to attend the banquet. You must prepare for this early. There will definitely be all kinds of people at the palace banquet."
Qin Hanzhang spoke again, just in time to interrupt what the system was about to say.
"I understand."
Su Qianqian understood what Qin Hanzhang meant. The women in the Qin family usually had little contact with the women in the back house, and even less with the concubines in the palace, for fear of causing trouble.
After returning to the room, Su Qianqian changed her clothes and took a nap on the couch. By the way, she opened the panel to check the merit power and melon beans. The merit power soared to 250,000, and the melon beans were 120,000!
[The emperor's melons are all super big, incomparable to those of ordinary people. The merit power is so high, there must be a kind-hearted person who was rescued by you, and this person has an extremely high status. 】
The system solved Su Qianqian's doubts. Its capabilities are getting stronger and stronger now. It relies on Su Qianqian's merits to maintain normal operation and updates, while providing better melon-eating services.
Su Qianqian understood that she would have to go to the palace more often to get the big news in the future. None of the concubines, princesses, princes, civil and military officials could be let off!
[By the way, I haven’t seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time...] Su Qianqian missed her white moonlight.
Qin Hanzhang: Mental cheating is also cheating...
Su Qianqian hadn't seen Dingfeng when she entered the space for the past two days. She didn't know where he had gone. Today, when she went in to harvest the planted seedlings, she found Dingfeng's butt sticking out of a box in the storage room, with the front half of his body hidden inside.
"Dian Feng, what are you doing? Why don't you come out to help?" Su Qianqian expressed dissatisfaction with Dian Feng's recent slackness.
The peak's butt was retracted forward again and hidden tighter.
Su Qianqian was furious. The naughty kid was too disobedient. She put down the seedlings and kicked him!
[Hahahaha... you've come to this day, let me show off...] The system laughed unkindly.
Dianfeng was kicked and slid forward a distance against the box. Afraid of being kicked again, he crawled out of the box reluctantly, still covering his face with his two paws and holding his big tail, but Su Qianqian still found a clue.
As expected, he became ugly at the peak!
