There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 150 The Dust Settles

The two monarchs and ministers were so brainstorming in the imperial study that they could break through the sky, and Wu Youwei was settling in the second room.

The yard he gave to the second room happened to be the big one with the embroidered building. It had a good view, covered a large area, and the interior was complete. After the second room moved in, Wu Mengshi liked it very much.

Only here can she feel at ease, especially when she sees the fence outside. The fence is of course protected from wild animals in name, but this is the suburbs of Beijing. If even the suburbs of Beijing are haunted by wild beasts, the emperors and ministers of Ming Dynasty should go Facing the wall thought about it.Now is the time for the little niece to have fun, and because she is still young and has not yet reached the age where "the difference between men and women" needs to be taboo, Wu Youwei hugged her and did not let go. He took her outside to play for a long time, and then I just went back to the house and washed my hands and wiped my face and ate cakes

"This child has never played with you like this before." Wu Mengshi held her little daughter tenderly, looked at her little girl's blushing face, and brought her a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake with distress.

Such a little girl can actually play with her father. She still remembers that her son rode on his father's shoulders when he was a child.

Unfortunately, she never met her father...

"Sister-in-law, you can live here with peace of mind when you come here. The fields under your name are already under my name. There is no tax or labor, and the people here are very easy to get along with. Those people even the elders at the gate of the village Don’t worry if you can’t even get in through the i gate!” Wu Youwei had already given orders to install a gate at the gate of the village, and invited Wu Da to watch it. The family hangs money as wages.

The gate was also specially customized, it was very high, almost reaching the city gate, and there was also a small gate that could pass through, and was always guarded.

The villagers felt safe, and Wu Meng felt even more safe.

She stayed at home without leaving the house, and little Wu Qiong came back to stay for two nights a month and rested for three days. Wu Youwei said that every time he sent the child to school, he would personally send the child to avoid being disturbed.

He is the patriarch of their branch, and he has a great reputation, how can those people tolerate him?

Besides, not everyone can enter Zhang Sheng's place, and it is also Juren's mansion.

After settling down the second room, let the second room start preparing for winter storage by the way.

There are many such things as drying vegetables, pickling pickles, etc. In addition, Erfang moved here, and the personnel followed. The domestic animals were also brought in, raised in the Kua yard, and slaughtered if they wanted to eat them.

Wu Youwei is also busy. He used to be a rice bug in the Wu Manor and gnawed at the old people, but now he is in his own Moring Villa. Many things have to be arranged by the housekeeper Lin Su and he needs to nod. .

Coupled with the sufficient supplies at home, Wu Youwei is confident that he will have a good life this winter.

He also asked the carpenter to make many large wooden boxes with scraps, filled them with soil, and put them in the houses where the villagers lived. On them, they planted leeks, garlic sprouts, spinach, rapeseed, garlic yellow, Chinese cabbage, coriander, and small water radishes. Cultivated greens.Let everyone eat green vegetables in the harsh winter, at least not all pickles and dried vegetables.

There were also big fish fished out of Moling Lake. Wu Youwei had asked people to put a lot of fry into it in summer. Autumn is the day when the fish are fattened and ready to eat.

When the delicious fish pot was served, Wu Youwei specially asked the kitchen staff to make thick noodle steamed buns. The fish pot had to be eaten with whole grains to make it enjoyable.

It's a pity that he hasn't been able to start looking for corn, otherwise it would be delicious to make fish pot pancakes.

He felt good after eating, so he asked people to pack some fish, and sent a lot of them from door to door, especially to the homes of the two masters, he sent ten of the largest fish!

There is also Zhang Sheng's family, who also sent a lot of chicken, duck and fish, and did not say anything about it. After all, Zhang Sheng's family lives in the capital, and it is not easy to live in the capital.

In order not to hurt Zhang Sheng's self-esteem, Wu Youwei's reason was very straightforward: "From now on, my little nephew will eat, drink, and sleep at your house, and you don't charge money. You have to charge some ingredients, right?"

"You!" Zhang Sheng was blocked and had nothing to say.

Zhang Sheng's wife felt that Wu Youwei was a real person who didn't take advantage of others, and treated Wu Qiong the same as her own son, and treated everything equally.

I sent fish to Wantong and stayed at his house. The cook of Wantong’s family can cook fish, braise it in soy sauce, steam it, stir-fry it, oil it...

He made a whole fish feast, and Wu Youwei's mouth was full of greasy food.

After eating, Wantong told him: "A new queen will be established in October, and at the end of the month, the affairs of the Wu family will be settled.

"It's time to establish a new queen, otherwise no one will care about the harem." Wu Youwei said: "There will definitely be chaos.

The rules of the Ming Dynasty were very strict. In order to prevent foreign relatives from monopolizing power, there were very high requirements for women in the post, especially those who became queen mothers.

Because of the rules of the harem, the biggest person in the harem is the queen. The queen mother is only noble in name, but in fact the real power is still in the hands of the queen.

In order to prevent the queen mother from picking her nose and eyes on her daughter-in-law like a folk mother-in-law, making the harem restless.

Therefore, there must be a queen in the harem of Ming Dynasty.

Unlike the later Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi's queen's tenure was very short, and the window period...was very long.

"It was almost chaotic, but the emperor's methods are very good, so there is no chaos." Wan Tongdao: "The superiors have already approved it. Wu Jun was asked to be executed by Qiuhou, just recently."

It's already past autumn now, and you can't go wrong when you ask the time after autumn, and it's very easy to convict. What Wu Jun did at the time was not very cryptic, and he was short of offering bribes openly.

It's hard to argue now, how dare he say that he didn't send money to that old eunuch Niu Yu?

Does he dare not admit it?

Niu Yu admitted it.

"It's fine to cut...." Wu Youwei, as Wu Jun's biological brother, actually has no feelings for this biological brother at all. The original owner may have, but he doesn't.

The two are strangers who know each other well.

"Wu Suo...the emperor actually wants to beheaded." Wantong thought for a while and said: "But in that case, there will be no males in the Wu family to set up a family, and it will still be your trouble at that time.

Wu Youwei understood in an instant: "Then... can we not be beheaded?"

If only Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu Sun, and those girls are left in the Wu family, needless to say, they will definitely rely on him!

It would be easier if Wu Ying was around.

"So, I pleaded with Wu Ying for you." Wan Tao said, "The emperor also agreed, and the rest of the Wu family will be demoted to ordinary people."

In the Ming Dynasty, the shadow of the slave society has been shaken off, so common people in this period generally refer to civilians without official titles; common people.

But from the point of view of those who had been queens in the Wu family and were emperors in Yue's family, they might as well be dead.

From luxury to simplicity, from simplicity to luxury is difficult!

Relegating them to common people, living like ordinary civilians, and having to pay taxes and serve hard labor..., can they still survive?

"My lord, I hate Empress Wu so much that he didn't even give her hereditary position to the Wu family. He was directly demoted to common people and let them... suffer the pain alive." Wantong said quietly: "Life is better than death... ..

The incident this time involves a lot, and some people will always retain some influence. When the time comes, the Wu family will be the punching bag.

There are many people who go up and step on it.

Especially when Empress Wu Fei was in the harem, she tortured those concubines a lot. Each of those women's natal families has some influence, big or small, and they don't look high in the officialdom. It is still very easy for the powerful Wu family to be demoted to common people.

It can be said that the hard days of the Wu family are yet to come.

"It's also pretty good..." Is life better than death?It's time to avenge the original owner.

At the moment when he heard the news, Wu Youwei suddenly felt light in his body, as if something was missing, and the lingering obsession in his heart also disappeared.

In fact, he still cares about it...,

Sure enough, at the end of the month, the court pronounced a verdict, and Wu Jun made a final decision. All the members of the Wu family were demoted to common people, and their property was confiscated. After the abolition, the Wu family moved to the Leng Palace. Care for grandma and mother

This is already the emperor's love for marrying Empress Wu Fei.

The Wu Mansion was raided, the Wu family was kicked out, a group of old and weak women and children were crying, after Wu Ying came back, he took them with him, hired a few carts, left the capital, and went to the ancestral house in the suburbs, where Wu Ying The family's ancestral graves and sacrificial fields will not be confiscated, and the Wu clan is also there.

After seeing Wu Ying, Wu Ying's daughter-in-law immediately reconciled with him and returned to her natal home with a dowry.

Mrs. Wu cursed loudly, and the Wu Sun family complained, and her natal Sun family was also implicated, and the Sun family even lost their titles.

When I arrived at the place, I found out that the guard's housekeeper's brother's family had long been taken away and sold, and this place was also copied, but the ancestral house was still there, and the family was resettled in the ancestral house.

Mrs. Wu took out some jewelry that she had hidden. Actually, it was not a big thing, and the big ones couldn't be hidden at all. They were just some small gadgets. The jade earrings were gifts from Wu Youwei, Wu Ying Take it as a pawn.

Only after I got it did I realize that this thing is quite valuable, and it is made of top-grade mutton fat jade.

Wu Ying came back with the money in a complicated way, and the family opened up the pot.

Hemerocallis is the one who cooks, the aunts at home can only cook dim sum, who can cook?And no one knows how to light firewood, usually there are people in the kitchen to serve.

I don't have much money, so I can only buy some coarse grains, and there are few fine noodles, so I can only use it as a staple food. I steamed steamed buns with two noodles, stewed a pot of cabbage and stewed meat, and scrambled eggs for the old lady and his wife separately.

When the food was served, there were few people eating, and many of them cried.

When the Wu Mansion was locked up, at least food was given to them, and there was a lot of chicken, duck and fish, but when they came out, they realized that it was better to be locked up.

Mrs. Wu slapped the table and got angry: "What are these? Is this food for people to eat?"

The steamed buns are not so dusty; the vegetables don't even have any oily flowers!

Even if you scramble an egg, you can tell that the scrambled egg is not up to par. How can you eat it?

"Do you want to eat? If you don't eat, get out!" Mrs. Wu sneered coldly: "If you, a prodigal bitch, married such a slut to my grandson, would our Wu family be so ashamed? Reasonable? At the beginning It's time to divorce your wife!

"Divorce?" Wu Sun sneered, "Do you dare?"

Mrs. Wu choked, she... didn't dare.

"My poor daughter!" Wu Sun began to cry again: "If it wasn't for being taught crookedly since childhood, would you be rejected by the emperor? Daughter! It's my mother's fault, she shouldn't have kept you by her side... ..."

Mrs. Wu rolled her eyes angrily, and the two women quarreled upside down.

The two aunts hugged their daughters and shivered. They were not sold because they gave birth to daughters. Those who had no children were all sold.

The life of the Wu family was not easy, because the next day, members of the Wu clan came to the door and forced them to leave the clan.The old man Wu San said forcefully: "The Wu family can't stand any troubles anymore. It's better for you to come out of the clan. The Wu family can't leave such a big stain. In the future, the imperial examination will be a trouble for the children."

Who can trust the character of the children of the Wu family?

It's all gone.

For the first time in the Ming dynasty!

The members of the Wu clan were almost scared to death!

I'm still afraid now, several clan elders have discussed that people from the Wu family can't be allowed to stay in the Wu clan anymore, the impact is too great.

There are also a few girls from the Wu family who were married off by their in-laws. The reason is very simple. At the beginning, the Wu family had a queen, and the Wu family became a descendant. It looks like, now that the queen is abolished, the in-laws don't have to bear it anymore, just send a letter of divorce, get out!

The emperor has divorced your Wu family's queen, why should we be patient?We can't stand it anymore.

The engaged ones withdrew one after another, and the noisy Wu clan didn't stop for a moment.

Old Master Wu Qi's eldest granddaughter was engaged to a bastard from a fifth-rank official family, but the marriage also fell through.
