Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 18 The Shocking Poems Must Be Recorded in History
Chapter 18 The shocking poetry must go down in history
The two flat wives split the yard on the west side, which is reasonable and reasonable, and Li Yu has read some history in his previous life.

I also know that the saying of one wife and two equal wives, I still vaguely remember that the ancient three wives and four concubines mean that there are many wives and concubines.

The little wife, the next wife, the next wife, the young wife, and the concubine are all the titles of concubines.

The "wife" in the three wives and four concubines includes the first wife, the partial wife, and the lower wife, and is not limited to the main wife.

There is also a saying that the title of Yu Ping's wife is a title for businessmen and women who are engaged in business abroad, but their actual status is still concubine.

In the late Qianlong period, it was legally used to be the title of another wife who was adapted to the marriage system of concurrently married couples.

After a while, Li Yu just packed up his thoughts and listened carefully to Xia Zhu's introduction;
"This is the middle courtyard, and it is divided into two entrances. The half entrance at the back of the middle courtyard is where Lang Jun's concubine lives, so it is also returned to the inner residence. On weekdays, the third-class maid is serving.

Please look at Langjun: the eastern wing is the room where the slaves and Qiu Ju live, and the third-class maids live in the next rooms. The small courtyard behind the wing is my wife's boudoir. "

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the west and continued:

"This west wing is Lady Situ's maid Ningcui, Taohong's room, and the small courtyard at the back is Lady Situ's residence.

As he spoke, he walked to the second door.

Li Yu thought about this door, it should be the first half of the middle courtyard she said, this is too carefully divided!
He didn't know that the ancient rules were strict, everyone had their own position, and they couldn't be sloppy.

Sure enough, I only heard Xia Zhu say again:

"Going out of this door is the advance of the middle courtyard, where the old lord entertains guests, there is also a kitchen, and further ahead is the front yard, where there live the maids, servants, mother-in-law, handymen, etc., but There is no separate room. They have separate hatches for men and women, and four people in one room.

In the courtyards on both sides, in the east lived the guard commander of the mansion, Uncle Liu and Uncle Liu's family brother.

Li Yu immediately thought that it was probably the scarred face he saw when he woke up.

Those yards to the west of the front yard lived in the ranks, the government soldiers led by the old lord, 39 government soldiers guards, and their families.

The old man had brought 170 or six soldiers in his life, all of whom were registered in Lantian County, and now there are only 39 families left.

The others all died on the battlefield.

The old man was very affectionate, so he asked the county magistrate and asked for the household registration of these soldiers who had followed him, and placed them in our village.

The families of the soldiers who died in battle were arranged around our mansion, and they built houses for them.

In addition, there are more than 300 households who have followed the servants of the Li family for generations. The sum of these is the current Li Family Village. "

"The door is open for someone to come."

A few maids in the back agreed, and they stepped forward to open the middle door.

Li Yu heard that so many soldiers had died, and followed Xia Zhu dumbly, all the way to the reception hall in the middle courtyard, and ignored the servants, greetings and salutes he met along the way.

Everyone didn't know why, so naturally they didn't dare to speak, and quietly followed the head of the family.

Xia Zhu couldn't figure it out, this little man was fine just now, why did his face suddenly change?

Thinking about it in my heart, before it gets dark, I will take Lang Jun to tour the mansion quickly, and I will hand in the errand, so I can go back to eat.

So I hurriedly introduced the middle courtyard and went to the front courtyard. There was no door between the front courtyard and the middle courtyard. There was only an earth wall more than ten meters wide and two meters high, which separated the outer courtyard from the middle courtyard.

How did they know that in Li Yu's previous life, there was no war, let alone dead people.

In a society with strict legal system, if you do something wrong, you can be caught in minutes.

The reason why Li Yu was unhappy was because he felt sorry for those more than 100 people who died in battle.

That is a living human life, not cats, dogs, chickens and ducks. In a word, more than 100 people died on the battlefield. Who can feel so happy when they hear this?
Let's not talk about Li Yu's mood, just say that everyone walked through the wall between the front yard and the middle yard and entered the outer yard, and the scene immediately became lively.

The maids, servants, mother-in-law, shuttle back and forth, very lively, the lively scene made Li Yu temporarily forget those dead soldiers.

When the people in the outer courtyard saw the head of the family, they saluted and greeted each other, and Li Yu was also excited.

This is all based on the fundamentals. Of course, the more the better, while nodding and agreeing, telling everyone loudly, what to do, don't care, and don't need to be polite.

Everyone has lived in this mansion for half their life, and almost watching the owner grow up is not as unusual as visiting the zoo.

So I was busy with whatever I was supposed to be busy with. It was almost dark at this time, cooking, burning fire, washing clothes, and moving things, but it was not as deserted as the backyard.

Li Yu is a person who likes to be lively. Seeing so many people, I can't be happy in my heart, that's all, it looks like a home, and it's so lively and lively.

It's too deserted to face those women all day with myself behind.

He thought that he had wronged Wang Kexin and the daughters of Situ Yunsha.

Your legs are on you, and you can't come out all day, who can blame it?
Looking at the crowd with a smile, Li Yu pondered in his heart that he should go out and move around more in the future, instead of staying in the backyard all the time.

While thinking about it, a group of strong men came in, and a dozen guards were led by Uncle Liu with a scarred face and rushed in from the outside.

All the way, he held his head high and his bearing was extraordinary, and he was sturdy and mighty.

These people are Liu Wanquan and his group, who went out to inspect the farmers harvesting corn. Today is the last day, and they have basically collected almost all of them. They can rest tomorrow and prepare to collect rent and pay grain.

The men who had been running for a day were full of exhaustion on their faces. When they saw the head of the family coming out, they forced their way to greet him. Except for Uncle Liu, the other dozen guards gave military salutes.

Although everyone was sleepy and tired, they still stood up straight. Li Yu looked at everyone's exhausted appearance, like a soldier who retreated after the battle.

I couldn't help but think of it again, and the number [-] who didn't come back alive began to feel sad again.

Here, Xia Zhu introduced in a low voice:
"Uncle Liu was in the army, and he used to be the old gentleman's general, Captain Guo Yi."

Everyone in this mansion knew about the annoyance of the Patriarch. After hearing Xia Zhu's introduction to Liu Wanquan, everyone felt that it was normal. Now that the Patriarch has recovered from his injuries, he naturally had to talk carefully about the people and things in the manor.

They all looked at this little man very naturally.

I just heard Xia Zhu say again: "These are the soldiers who retreated with the old man."

Li Yu looked at a group of people with tired and frosty faces, and the more they looked, the more they looked like soldiers coming down from the battlefield.

Then I thought of the more than 100 heroic souls who died in the battle, their families lost their pillars, and they don't know how difficult life must be!
He couldn't help feeling sad again, turned his head and asked Xia Zhu, "You said just now, how many soldiers are following Aye?"

"If you go back to Lang Jun, there are a total of 170 people from Lantian that the old master brought, and there are 39 people left. They are all resettled in the other courtyard of our mansion. These dozen or so people are part of the mid-term."

Li Yu couldn't help sighing: "There are only 39 left? The rest are all dead?"

Several people in the guard replied unevenly:
"Report to my lord, there are only 39 of us left!"

Li Yu couldn't help but feel sad, he was a prosperous son in the past, and now that's all that's left.

Those more than 100 people stayed on the battlefield forever and never came back, alas...

It's okay if I don't want to, the more I think about it, the more my heart becomes blocked. A living person, a few battles are gone like this.

I can't help but think of the Liangzhou words of the descendants, isn't that how it is described!

Thinking of this, Li Yu leisurely read the Liangzhou Ci to drive away the unhappiness in his heart:
"Wine Glow Cup,"

"If you want to drink the pipa, urge it immediately."

"Drunken lying on the battlefield, Lord Grim,"

"How many people have fought in ancient times."

After reciting a poem, the entire outer courtyard was silent, a group of strong men, thinking of the poems made by their husband,

As if the soul returned to the battlefield of the golden horse and iron horse, the call of the brothers was heard in the ear, and everyone fought bravely to kill the enemy...

And imagine the mood in the poem:

The mellow wines on the wine feast are filled in exquisite luminous cups.

The beautiful geisha plays the fast and cheerful pipa to add to the fun and drink.

The soldiers were full of pride at the thought of rushing across the horse to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country.

Today, you must be drunk and rest, even if you are drunk on the battlefield, what's the harm?

This expedition to serve the country was originally intended to be wrapped in horse leather, but he was not prepared to come back alive at all. "

It's easy not to drink alcohol in the army, but what's the point? This is a poem written by Xiao Langjun for his people, and his Langjun can do whatever he wants.

Whether there is wine or not, it does not affect the mood of everyone. Some automatically imagine the luminous cup as a ceramic bowl for rice, and some think of the fine wine in the cup as dry military rations.

There are still people who are recalling the previous scene. Just as everyone was about to eat, a military order came from there, and the thieves came.
So everyone hurriedly sorted out their armor and weapons and prepared to meet the enemy. I wonder if they could go home alive in this battle?

What the heck, kill him first and then talk about it in a dark and dark place, the horse leather corpse was originally the highest destination for the soldiers of the government.

Xia Zhu, who was the first to react, couldn't help but cheer:

"Okay! Langjun is very knowledgeable and talented. This seven-character quatrain is short and incisive, and full of the pride of a man on the battlefield. It will surely be passed down to future generations and should be recorded in official history."

Liu Wanquan next to him was recalling that when he heard the legend of Xia Zhu, it would be recorded in history.

Immediately reacted, lifted up his robes like a battle armor, and gave a military salute:

"Thank you Langjun for doing this ancient law for me."

The guards watched the commander saluting, and they all followed suit, saluting neatly and uniformly:
"Thank you sir."

The voices of more than a dozen strong men resounded through the mansion...
