Chapter 396: Concubines take power over wives

Views:

Yingying never tires of playing house-like marriage games with Xiaolu and Xiaowei, looking forward to the early arrival of the day promised by Xiaotian. Regarding Ye Xiaotian's current situation, she has not sent anyone to inquire about it, even though it is very important to the Xia family. It's easy to say.

Yingying didn't blindly trust Ye Xiaotian to the point of believing that he could do anything. Although she was naive and didn't understand the official system, she was the chieftain's daughter after all. Her father was the helm of the Xia family and controlled more than a dozen For this tribe, what was conferred was nothing more than a false title of commanding affairs.

A military officer of the fourth rank, a military officer with real power is not as good as a civil officer with real power one or two ranks lower than him, let alone a false title, is it really that easy to be promoted to a sixth-rank civil officer with real power within two years? But when she left Ye Xiaotian, she had a very innocent look, as if she could achieve it overnight.

She pretended to be a gesture, but in fact she just didn't want to make Ye Xiaotian feel uncomfortable. During the two-year period, she hoped that a miracle would happen, that would be the best ending, if not, she would elope with Ye Xiaotian! Maintaining a childlike innocence does not mean that her IQ is also like a child.

In the hearts of daughters like Shui Wu who have received strict family education since childhood, some rules can never be surpassed. The education she received since childhood has set up a cage in her heart. Even without the constraints of the outside world, she can You can also restrain yourself very well.

But for Yingying, there is no psychological barrier to breaking the rules. But if she makes that choice, she will be separated from her family for a period of time. In that case, these two years will be the two years she spends with her relatives to make up for them. Therefore, during this period of time, she must be happy and must be happy. Bring family warmth and happiness.

Yingying never bows to difficulties, just go around the stones in front of her, she will not give a kick in spite of herself, but she will not turn around just then. From this point of view, her temperament and Ye Xiaotian are very similar. Ye Xiaotian is also a person who will not give up easily, but the difference is that what Ye Xiaotian is doing now seems to be not bypassing that stone, but kicking kick up.

In the eyes of many people, this is impossible, even though Ye Xiaotian once created a miracle of defeating Qi Mu and Meng Xiancheng. But Qi Mu is just a tyrant, and Meng County Cheng and Qi Mu have colluded too deeply, and there are countless evidences of crimes, and he can't get rid of it. Ye Xiaotian only needs to defeat Qi Mu, and then deal with Meng County Cheng.

But Wang Ning and Xu Boyi are not the same. Ye Xiaotian wants to deal with them, he can only use the rules of the officialdom, but within the rules of the officialdom, it is very difficult for the lower officials to defeat the upper officials and get into the position. A taboo in the hearts of officials: No one likes a subordinate who commits crimes.

In this struggle, he cannot get the "morality" in the officialdom, and this "morality" in the officialdom has a much greater role and significance than the morality in the hearts of the people. Right now, the "morality" in this officialdom has not yet fermented, and it has not played its due role, because their struggle is only limited to Huxian County, and he has Hua Qingfeng, the county magistrate, on his head as a banner.

But one day, others will know that everything is under his control, and then his resistance will appear. Of course, the rules are meaningless when they reach a certain level. What are the rules? Rules are for people to break, but you have to have that strength or you have to reach that position to succeed.

The concubine of a rich gentry family or the concubine of an official family, who dares to challenge the house and challenge the mistress? This kind of thing is extremely rare. If there are so few cases in this huge world, it will be qualified to be included in the annals of history as a legend.

Why? Because of the patriarchal society for thousands of years, for the stability of the family and the family, a very strict family system has been formed, and concubines can't change the sky at all. Not to mention that most of the natal families who are regular wives have the same status as the husband's family, and even wives who are wretched will be protected by the whole society.

A wife is determined by the orders of the husband's parents, while a concubine is completely determined by the husband's preferences. From this we can see the most obvious difference between a wife and a concubine. As the saying goes, "a wife is not as good as a concubine" does not refer to the difference in status, but refers to the degree of favor in the heart of the husband.

Preferring concubines is almost inevitable, but it is almost impossible to favor concubines over masters. A concubine dares to deceive his wife. According to the patriarchal system and the legal system, it is not a crime for a wife to kill her with a stick, but which concubine dares to kill her regular wife? Even the husband dare not, this is a major ethical issue.

If there is any concubine who dreams of overpowering the main wife and replacing her, even if the main wife's natal family is ruined and she is weak and deceitful, it is still useless, because the main wife has her parents-in-law above her, and if the parents-in-law disagree, can you become the main wife? There is a clan behind the parents-in-law. A concubine does not have any social resources and is just a woman who entertains her husband with sex. If you can make the parents-in-law happy with sweet words, how can you persuade the entire clan to agree? Unless the wife's perverse behavior has already provoked the wrath of heaven and people.

Even if you passed these few steps safely, there is still the government behind, and the government will intervene if you change a concubine, because it is illegal! Even if you can settle the government, there is still huge pressure from public opinion outside the government. If a concubine has the ability to settle all these, then she doesn't need to be a concubine.

But once this kind of relationship rises to the royal family, it will be possible, because the result of success is to become the queen of the royal family, and there are no in-laws, clan and legal issues on her head that can restrain her. This is why the rules can be broken when the power reaches a certain level or the status reaches a certain level.

Of course, Little Hu County cannot meet the standards of the royal family, and there are thirty-three heavens above it. Therefore, the dispute between Ye Xiaotian and Xu Boyi and Wang Ning, in the eyes of many people, is like a man suffering from insanity. The concubine's challenge to the main wife.

Ye Xiaotian's fanatical fan - the old Lutou who sweeps the floor in the county government does not believe in evil. He firmly believes that Ye Daguan will be able to win. Even Qi Mu and Meng Qingwei have defeated the arrogant people who cover the sky with one hand. What else is there? Ye Daguan can't do it.

Bantou Zhou is more rational, he doesn't really believe that Ye Xiaotian can defeat Xu Boyi and Wang Ning, the best situation is probably to achieve a balance, the biggest possibility is... failure! But he, Ma Hui, Xu Haoran and others still followed Ye Xiaotian without hesitation. Without him, those who are friends will die!

Su Xuntian also doesn't believe that Ye Xiaotian can defeat Xu Boyi, especially after Xu Boyi and Wang Ning join forces, but he must also stand by Ye Xiaotian's side, not only because of his friendship and trust with Ye Xiaotian, but also because of his interests. His brother-in-law is tied together, and Ye Xiaotian is his only hope.

Ye Xiaotian will not underestimate himself. His intention is to defeat Xu Boyi, the "regular wife", and Wang Ning, the "second concubine". Be the master of the house and be "Wu Zetian!"

His ambition is not only to defeat Xu Boyi, but also to be the behind-the-scenes master of Huxian County. He wants to keep climbing, at least to become a sixth-rank official and marry Yingying. He already has Ning'er and Dooni, and because of this, he has to meet the requirements of the Xia family and welcome Yingying openly, so as to make up for his debt to Yingying.

He will not use the network resources formed during the trip to Jinling lightly. Once used, it will be worth a penny, but this does not mean that he will never use it. The reason why he didn't rely on Jinling's connections was because good steel had to be used on the blade, and it wasn't worth using all his cards against two guys like Wang Ning and Xu Boyi.

After Ye Xiaotian returned to Huxian County, it seemed that Xu Boyi was completely powerless to fight back with a set of combined punches. In fact, even if Xu Boyi was prepared, he was still unable to fight back, because his greatest strength was that Hua Qingfeng did not dare to stand up. But Hua Qingfeng "stands" out!

Ye Xiaotian has someone in his hand, and Hua Qingfeng has a famous name in his hand. Once the two are combined, Xu Boyi has nothing to contend with. Because there are countless higher levels above them, and there are also sets of corresponding rules pressed there.

In the eyes of Wang Ning and Xu Boyi, Ye Xiaotian is a concubine who wants to seize power, but the problem now is that their regular wife seizes the husband's power, and the husband joins forces with the concubine to regain his due power, so Xu Boyi and Wang Ning also cannot use higher-level rules to counter the opponent.

From the current point of view, Ye Xiaotian seems to have gained the upper hand, and they have no power to fight back. Hua Zhixian went to sit on the post road in person. Every day, it was windy and rainy, and the dust was flying. There is a group of capable subordinates who are doing impressive work.

Chang Zizai and Xie Chuanfeng's chariot and horse dealership has been strongly suppressed by Ye Xiaotian. When the military capital transportation needs the help of a chariot dealer The hounds with a keen sense of smell, after realizing the change of power in Hu County, also try their best to take care of the business of "Luo Li Gao Carriage and Horse Company", unless they can't handle such a large cargo throughput, then I'm sorry, business waits for no one, I had no choice but to go to Chang Zizai and Xie Chuanfeng. In this way, I could maintain a friendship with Chang Zizai and Xie Chuanfeng.

Gao Ya and Li Bohao, who dreamed of being swordsmen since they were young, are obviously not that kind of talent in business. Although Luo Daheng is a genius in business, he also has different types of business. He is obviously not good at the transportation industry, at least he has to give him A process of familiarity and understanding.

But now his own industry is in a hurry, which involves a lot of energy, and he has to spare time to fight wits and courage with his father, so he really can't take care of that much, so Luo Daheng divided Sun Weixuan into 20% of the shares, and appointed him as Luo Li Gao Che Ma Xing is in charge.

Gao Ya and Li Bohao are happy to receive a large amount of dividends without having to work hard, and the tycoon can also spend more time taking care of Niuniu who is getting pregnant. Sun Weixuan lived up to everyone's expectations. After getting 20% of the shares and becoming one of the owners, Sun Weixuan devoted all his efforts to the car and horse dealership, and managed the car and horse dealer's business booming.

Everyone has a place that suits him. Post Road is undoubtedly the most suitable place for Sun Weixuan to survive. If Ye Xiaotian wants to advance step by step, he must have his own team. This team is not limited to the officialdom. That's how it came into his sight, and Ye Xiaotian began to cultivate him intentionally.

Of course Xu Boyi was not willing to fail at this, but it was enough to play the trick of creating obstacles for Hua Qingfeng once. He originally hoped that this would make Hua Qingfeng retreat in spite of difficulties. More drastic means, but cast a mouse.

Although Hua Qingfeng has taken over the affairs of the post road now, he already has a share of the credit, and because of his "withdrawal and withdrawal", as long as the war in Yunnan is unfavorable and someone wants to find trouble for military supplies, they have to Huazhi County tops the vat, but if it is a big victory, the reward for merit and deeds will be indispensable for him and the master Wang.

So he didn't really want to destroy the post road so that military supplies could not be transported. In this way, the key for him to win the battle and even win the decisive victory can only be on the change of Yi's surname. This is his "killer mace", and the time has come for the killer mace to come out!
