Chapter 226
No matter where and in what era, as long as there is a gap between the rich and the poor, there will inevitably be class concepts, and this is even more so in feudal society.
Although the Tang Dynasty was a period of gradual decline of the aristocracy, it was also the peak of the aristocracy.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, wars raged across Kyushu. Although the imperial court was controlled by powerful clans, after all, the dynasties had frequent iterations. Forced palaces, treason, and usurpation of the throne were commonplace.
At that time, almost every change of emperor would be accompanied by a reshuffle of the court's forces. When encountering Gao Wei, Xiao Baojuan and others, there was a risk of losing their heads at any time.
Until the world is unified and the river is clear and the sea is calm, these aristocratic families can stabilize and spread their branches.
There is naturally a chain of contempt among the powerful families.
These aristocratic families with five surnames and seven surnames look down on the emerging Guanlong nobles, thinking that they just got away with the achievements of Conglong, and their background is not deep.But the emerging Guanlong aristocrats rose to power and looked down on the old clans and ordinary people who had declined.
In contrast, those aristocratic families that stretched from the Han Dynasty and even the pre-Qin period to the present, in order to maintain the image of the family, would instead show more kindness to the common people.
Xue Siniang looked at Yaoyue with a pale face, and asked loudly with a trembling voice: "Mrs. Zun is from the direct line of the Taiyuan Wang family...?"
Yaoyue said calmly: "Yes, our wife is from the second wife of the Cui family in Boling, and now she is the young wife of the fourth wife of the Wang family in Taiyuan."
Xue Siniang's legs are a little weak!
How could she meet such a noble person here!
The Wang family in Taiyuan is the top family in Xuantang, and the direct branch of the Wang family exists like stars in the sky. It is not something ordinary people can climb up to!
Qiao Yun got an affirmative answer from Yaoyue, and she became more and more overjoyed.
She is really lucky!
When the thighs are missing, the thighs fall from the sky, and the thighs are still so thick!
She smiled sweetly, and bowed obediently: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient. I don't know how to call this lady?"
"Just call me Yaoyue, let's go." Yaoyue smiled, took Qiao Yun's hand and was about to lead the group away.
"Wait!" Mrs. Xue called them hastily.
Embarrassed, she blushed.
That is the Wang family of Taiyuan, the lady on board is much more noble than the so-called Madam Xue!If you can get blue eyes in front of noble people, then you will benefit endlessly in your life!
Yaoyue turned her head to look at her with impatience in her eyes.
"Can I trouble my sister to ask Mrs. Zun for me, can I also take a ride?"
Qiao Yun was a little stunned, wondering how she managed to open her mouth!Not to mention that they have obviously had such a big conflict, with more than a dozen pairs of eyes watching, even if there is no conflict, seeing that the boat is luxurious and begging for a ride, what is the difference between this and begging?
Yaoyue thought so too.
She snorted in her heart, and said lightly on the surface: "Miss Xue, in order to monopolize this small boat, you aggressively let this little lady roll off the boat, and now you don't sit on it anymore. Aren't you disturbing other people's business? If you insist on boarding our boat, shouldn't you give them some compensation?"
The captain on the side nodded desperately.
That's right!After finally being able to get a big customer, but because of Xue Siniang's messing up, he lost a lot!
It's time to pay!
"I—" Xue Siniang was speechless for a moment.
Why is this maid so shrewd, she can always find such a tricky angle to attack her!
If she used the conflict between the two of them as an issue, she could still have the cheek to feel wronged and apologize.
But she actually picked up this reason, then she will either take this small boat and miss the opportunity that is close at hand, or pay the boatman double the fare for the sake of face.
She didn't have a lot of money on her, and she had enough food and clothing with her aunt before, but the monthly money was not high.It took me several years of frugality to save more than 30 guan. Now when I go out, my aunt only gives me guan. When I arrive in Chang'an and Luoyang, it will cost a lot. How can she waste money on the road?
"Have you thought it through? Our ship will leave soon."
"I, I..." She pursed her lips, feeling a little speechless for a moment.
The eyes of the people around the bank watching the excitement were as hot as the sun at noon in the dog days, which made her feel a little crumbling.
The corner of Yaoyue's mouth was full of mockery: "The big families always take face very seriously, especially in the Xue family's room in Chang'an. Presumably you don't want Master Xue to know about your arrogant and domineering behavior?"
"..." Xue Siniang struggled in every possible way, it was more tormenting than being roasted by a raging fire!
"Let's go." Yaoyue snorted coldly, pulling Qiao Yun to leave.
Xue Siniang stretched out her hand in a panic, trying to persuade her to stay: "Wait, I'll pay!"
But this time Yaoyue didn't look back.
On the wide deck of the tall ship, a girl looked away, a little speechless.
"Aniang, do you really want to bring them up?"
Madam Cui leaned on the recliner, closed her eyes and meditated: "There are not many of them, so why not take a ride."
"But that little lady is not all wrong!" The girl recalled the turmoil that just passed, and said with some hesitation: "Although the lady of the Xue family is a bit domineering, if the little lady didn't provoke her, the Xue family The lady will never beat someone."
"You have to know that no one is born to be angry with others for no reason." Madam Cui opened her eyes and looked at her daughter sharply. The foundation is not a sandbag that anyone can kick on the school field."
The girl is still more willing to defend people of the same class as herself: "But... Mrs. Xue is from the Xue family in Hedong, isn't it a noble family?"
"She has been reduced to go to relatives alone, will her father have an official position?" Mrs. Cui looked at her resentfully: "I told you earlier that the late emperor revised the "Xuan Tang Law" on a large scale. Read more books, and you won’t be able to ask such words!”
Because there is no need to pay taxes for the noble family, the large population of the family will inevitably drag down the finances. In order to reduce the power of the family and alleviate the emptiness of the national treasury, the late emperor has long cooperated with officials from poor families to enroll those whose fathers have no official positions as good citizens. Land owners pay taxes like ordinary farmers.
The girl stuck out her tongue.
Seeing that Yaoyue took Qiao Yun and his party onto the boat, she stopped bringing up the topic and smiled politely at Qiao Yun.
"My daughter, Yun, and my daughter, Qiao, to visit Madam, thank you Madam for allowing us to take the boat." Qiao Yun and his party made a deep bow to Madam Cui.
Mrs. Cui saw that the courtesy of Yun Xuemei and Qiao Yun could not be faulted in any way, and there was no vulgar attitude common to merchants, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became brighter and brighter.
"Get up quickly. Tanxue, you go to have the two rooms cleaned up, and the luggage is settled. Huanqing, you go to order the kitchen, feed and arrange meals."
Gu Yu and Lai Gan were treated as servants, led by Yaoyue to tidy up the room.The maid at the side moved two stools to the table, and Mrs. Cui enthusiastically asked the two of them to sit down.
"This is my daughter, and she's called Jinzhi in small print. Azhi, huh? Azhi, why are you so dumb?" Mrs. Cui patted her daughter's head displeasedly when she saw her staring eyes.
Surprised, Wang Jinzhi quickly withdrew her gaze from Yun Xuemei, and nodded apologetically at Qiao Yun.
So dangerous, so dangerous, I almost drooled just now.
How can there be such a good-looking person in this world!
After Qiao Yun sat down, Mrs. Cui briefly asked Qiao Yun and the others about their backgrounds, and after learning that Yun Xuemei was a widow raising the child by herself, she couldn't help feeling sympathetic.
"After all, there needs to be a male in the family to survive the scene and not be bullied. You look so good, you don't have to worry about remarrying anywhere."
Wang Jinzhi's heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out: "This is impossible!"
"?" Madam Cui, Yun Xuemei and Qiao Yun all looked at Wang Jinzhi suspiciously.
She said eagerly: "Mrs. Yun is so pretty, how can she take advantage of those men at will?"
Yun Xuemei: "..."
Qiao Yun took a sip of tea at the refreshment point!
Mrs. Cui said angrily: "Why don't you follow Mrs. Xie to learn well!"
