After rebirth, I made the princes cry

For ordinary people, the most common problem is sores. Most people's sores are actually caused by infrequent bathing. The living environment of the common people is simple and it is almost impossible to build bathrooms at home. Many houses do not even have wells. , having to fetch water from public wells is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The well water fetched back home is only for food needs, and cannot be used for bathing.

Not all houses have rivers and ponds nearby, and even if there are, it is impossible for women and girls to bathe in rivers and ponds, especially when the weather is cold. For poor people who don’t even have enough clothes to keep out the cold, cold water bathing is a must. Bathing is tantamount to courting death.

But if you don’t take a bath for a long time and your body is sweaty and smelly, you will most likely suffer from sores. Although such sores are not difficult to treat and you can usually recover by taking a few medicinal baths, but it is not easy for ordinary people to even take a bath, and how can they have the money? Going to buy herbs?

Dayu worships Buddhism, and there are many Buddhist temples built in various states and counties. Therefore, many temples have bathhouses. Not only can people go to the bathhouses to bathe, but the bathhouses also provide medicinal beans, which can prevent and cure sores to a certain extent. role.

Because such bathhouses are mostly used by ordinary people, the facilities are very simple. Users usually have to go to the temple well to fetch water, carry it into the kitchen, and exchange it for the hot water that the government allocates to the temple servants to boil it. , and go to the bathhouse for your own use. There are no barriers in the bathhouse. In order to keep warm and "avoid shame", most of them only open a few high windows. The light is already dim. In addition, after taking off their clothes, everyone can see each other. There is no difference. It is indeed not easy to find someone in the bathhouse.

But Nanci sent more than one person to keep an eye on him. There was also someone watching outside the bathhouse. Logically speaking, he wouldn't have lost track of the target, but he did. Yingshu almost didn't have to use her brain to think of the reason - the target. He must have changed his appearance first. After entering the bathhouse, he washed off the makeup on his face, then put on another set of clothes prepared by his accomplices for him, and completely "changed his appearance". No matter how many people were following him, the target could successfully escape. .

Fu Qing was originally a farmer on the outskirts of Jiankang City, with a house and land, but he was indolent in work when he was young. At that time, many nobles moved south, and in order to accommodate these nobles who moved south, the court had to set up many settlements in the areas south of the Yangtze River. Qiao County reorganized many fields, and Jiankang became the capital, "squeezing in" more famous families. In order to satisfy the non-commissioned officers who came to vote, Sikong Tong had to implement the replacement method. In short, it was to encourage Gyeonggi The original yeoman farmers sold their fields to nobles and opened up wasteland. One acre of fertile land could be exchanged for ten acres of wasteland. Moreover, these wasteland could be privately owned by the pioneers, and could be passed down from generation to generation.

Of course, according to the provisions of the replacement law, the original owners of fertile land can also give up land reclamation and rely on the nobles as tribes. Although they have changed from self-cultivators to servants, they are still different from slaves. The difference is that servants generally do not They are allowed to be bought, sold and killed at will by the master. Although they have lost a certain degree of freedom, theoretically speaking, they cannot be compared with livestock. They will still be protected by the law. The master must pay wages to servants and cannot occupy them. If the master's family evicts the servant's residence and private property, the land occupied by the servant must also be returned.

Alternatively, the yeoman farmers could simply resell the acres they originally owned to the nobles. As for the price, the court set a minimum price - that is, the minimum price. This was to limit the nobles' use of power to force the yeoman farmers to transfer their acres at a low price.

What Fu Qing chose back then was to resell the acres of land he occupied to the nobles. At that time, the nobles were eager to occupy the land, which caused the land prices to skyrocket. Fu Qing made a huge profit. His plan was to build two houses in the inner city. A house for a family to stay temporarily, use the remaining savings to do some business, and make a fortune leisurely... Unfortunately, before the business started, he fell in love with gambling, and his dream of getting rich was killed. In the cradle.

The family's life became more and more miserable. Fortunately, they had a daughter, and fortunately, the daughter was selected as a palace maid. At that time, the palace was in urgent need of palace servants, and the recruitment money distributed to the family members of the palace was still generous. And because Fu Qing was originally from Jiankang, the recruitment money was not withheld at all levels. With this recruitment money, he bought another thirty acres of "new land" - wasteland that had been occupied by others.

The "new field" is located in a more remote place, and Fu Qing has no intention of farming it himself. But with "new field" in his name, he regains the capital to rely on the nobles as servants. Although the thirty acres of new fields are in the eyes of the nobles, It's like a mosquito leg, but at that time, the power of the old nobles in Western Henan had gradually risen, and the competition with Jiangdong Haowang became more intense. For a domineering family member like Jiangdong Zhang, thirty acres of new land had been "cleverly named". You can occupy an additional 300 acres of fertile land in Jiankang!

That's right, the old master Fu Qing once attached to was Jiangdong Zhang.

But his life as a subordinate in Zhangmen, Jiangdong was not easy. After all, if he "contributed" little, he would not get generous rewards, but his family would not starve to death. In addition, he originally worked in the inner city. He had a house, so he didn't need to live in the master's house. He sent his two sons to the master's house to be driven around. He focused on flattering the manager, but he didn't have to work much and stayed around for a few more years.

Even more fortunately, his daughter was favored by Concubine Qiao. Thanks to her daughter, Fu Qing was able to "switch to the Ming Lord" - Zhang Xu had never seen such a person as Fu Qing in his eyes. Jiangdong Zhang's story There are so many tribes and tribes that are qualified to be decided by the clan leader, and it is the responsibility of the subordinates to decide. Fu Qing, because Qiao Ke helped him first, not only did not intend to take back the thirty acres of land that originally belonged to him. , and even bribed the steward a lot of money, and the matter was successfully completed. Fu Qing's family finally "suffered all the hardships" and lived the life they had dreamed of.

Such a person, or a family, was not even qualified to be used as a pawn by those in power, but Fu was in the inner court and had become Qiao's confidant! ! !

"I was aware of the conspiracy before. When I went to see Aunt Ren, I heard Aunt Ren tell her her plan. Although she didn't want to publicize the family scandal and wanted to settle the matter, Aunt Ren also realized that the Fu family and her family were not good people, so she wanted to use that The opportunity not only allowed Uncle Pingyi to give up his conspiracy, but also agreed to expel Old Man Fu and his family. Aunt Ren thought this was enough to warn Fu.

If we had not intervened in this matter, Aunt Ren's arrangement would not have failed. Concubine Qiao knew that her trick had been exposed, so she had no choice but to swallow her anger. Uncle's death happened so suddenly that Concubine Qiao had no time to contact Uncle Pingyi, and The three hundred private soldiers led by Uncle Pingyi could not break through Wanchun Gate at all.

There must be someone behind the collapse of Pingyi House, and I think the only person who could convince Concubine Qiao at that time was the Fu family. "

After Nanci listened quietly to Yingshu's analysis, a cold light flashed across his eyes: "Will Mrs. Fu hold grudge against her mother-in-law because her family was expelled?"

"She was not a loyal person to begin with." Yingshu looked up slightly under the plum tree where the buds had not yet grown: "Concubine Qiao used her because she saw through Fu's vanity, and Fu's family members were all here. Jiankang is indeed easy to control. If Mrs. Fu doesn't get the favor of concubine Qiao, she won't be able to become a female executive. Let's just take care of her family and satisfy her own vanity. She is not popular at all, and her former boss is even more cruel to her. Her traitorous and slippery character is extremely disgusting. Whenever Fu makes the slightest mistake, she should be sent to the Criminal Service Department, and it will be difficult for her to get ahead.

If Mrs. Fu was truly loyal to Concubine Qiao, she would never have instigated Concubine Qiao to frame her brother because of Aunt Ren's control over her family. She had never thought about Concubine Qiao at all. In the minds of people like Mrs. Fu, her own Prosperity and wealth are the most important. "

"But she... always cared about her family, and she never resented her parents for abandoning her."

"You are wrong Nanci." Yingshu still raised her face, the girl's black and white eyes reflected the bright autumn light, and the gentle young man under the autumn light: "It is true that Mrs. Fu has never resented her family, but it is not because of flesh and blood. Just because she felt that she was lucky to be able to enter the palace. She also had a sister who unfortunately died before Xiaoxuan and must have starved to death! Mrs. Fu didn't know that the reason why her sister was starved to death was Because her father had gambled away all his savings, and she was not very young at that time, she thought that the reason why their family was in that situation was because of the replacement law issued by the court, and the land that should have belonged to their family was occupied by Guizhou. Only her eldest sister would die of hunger and overwork.

I asked Bai Ying to inquire about it. At that time, Fu's father heard that he wanted to select a palace maid, suitable for the age of seven to fifteen. Although his eldest daughter was also of the right age, she suffered from axillary qi. His lower body was smelly, so it was naturally difficult to get into the primary school. In order to make his youngest daughter be grateful to him, he even let his eldest daughter starve to death. Even his eldest son and second son were not allowed to have a full meal. He tried every means to only let his youngest daughter eat and drink. He did this just to let his little daughter remember that he regarded her as the apple of his eye. "

Nanci didn't start, he actually couldn't bear to hear such pain and ugliness.

"When Mrs. Fu was a child, she might have been deceived by her biological father, but she is no longer young and ignorant. After she entered the palace, she was very diligent for a time, but then she gradually became cunning, always thinking of opportunism and sowing dissension. There is no shortage of things to do. I have seen many such palace people. Before they entered the palace, they were like a blank slate. But after entering the palace, because they received a lot of lessons and encountered many hardships, they would understand earlier than ordinary people. The human heart is sinister.

After becoming enlightened, Mrs. Fu knew why her father favored her, but she was very lucky because her sister suffered from armpit odor, so she was able to survive. So people like Fu don't actually value friendship at all. She won't hold a grudge because her family was expelled from Pingyi Bofu. What she values ​​is who can grant her more benefits.

Concubine Qiao cannot prevent her family from being expelled. She will feel that Concubine Qiao is strong but incompetent and does not have the ability to satisfy her desires. If she wants to realize her ambition, she must choose another branch. "

Nanci looked into Yingshu's bright and clear eyes: "So it's not wrong for me to expel the Fu family?"

"Of course." Yingshu smiled slightly: "We have lured the snake out of the hole. I can almost confirm that Fu is an accomplice in the destruction of Pingyi Bo Mansion, but it is still difficult to determine who is her 'new master'. It is just like that Several suspects."

"The one you are most suspicious of is Sikong Beichen?"

"It's him." Yingshu nodded: "If it wasn't him, then he must be the final winner."

But she wasn't sure who the final winner would be.
