Chapter 1255 Hou went to the capital
Hou only thought about it for one night and agreed.
She was an exiled prisoner with a low status, and followed a high-ranking official to the capital to be a concubine. There was no reason to refuse.
Even if she doesn't think about herself, she has to think about it for her daughter.
The old lady thought it was strange, "But she was exiled to Linzhang's house, so she followed Master Wan like this. Others know it, shouldn't it be said that Master Wan is perverting the law for personal gain?"
Shu Yu smiled, "Of course it's not that simple. Although the Hou family was exiled, she is the concubine of the second master Shu. And she is not a noble concubine. Strictly speaking, she is equivalent to the servant of the Shu family. Selling her is normal."
"So, Second Master Shu sold the Hou family to Lord Wan?" the old lady exclaimed.
Shu Yu nodded, "Aunt Hou said, after we left, the Shu family's life became more and more difficult. The first room and the second room completely fell out, and the second master Shu used to be a person who only mixed things and waited to die, and had no vision. I don't have any skills. There is at least one Shu Feng in the big room, who has been raised as the heir of the Shu family since he was a child."
The two families fell out. Although the days of the big house were not very good, Shu Feng had prestige, and the whole family listened to him, barely able to eat enough to survive.
The second room is different. The second master thinks he is an elder, so he wants to be lazy and let his wife, children and concubines serve him. But everyone was exiled, and they had a miserable life. They originally expected the second master to come and make a good life for them, but he came to make things worse.
Second Master Shu wanted to show the family tree of his elders, and Shu Quan wanted to be the master of the second house like his elder brother Shu Feng did, so the father and son had a lot of trouble. The second lady was in the middle and struggled, and the house was noisy all day long, and no one worked seriously.
In the end, the second master Shu was at a disadvantage. He was getting older, and the second wife felt more distressed for her son, so Shu Quan became the head of the second room.
He naturally won't let Second Master Shu be lazy, not only can't he, he is a man, and he has to work harder than Second Lady and others.
Anyway, they are distributed according to their work, and the more they do, the more they eat.
Second Master Shu had a very difficult life, and his wives, concubines and children couldn't take care of him.
Therefore, when Lord Wan came to the door, Second Master Shu felt that he had hope.
He wanted to take Qiao at first, and the other party wanted Hou, so he made a request, and even put forward outrageous conditions for Lord Wan to take him out of exile and acquit him.
Sir Wan has been an official for many years, how could he be threatened by such a person?
He put the conditions there, one, give him a lighter job, two, say hello to the steward of Zhengdao Village and take care of him, and three, give him twenty taels of silver as money for the Hou family.
If he promises, he promises, and if he doesn't, forget it.
Anyway, the Hou family will continue to live in the inn in the future, and Shu Er Ye will not be able to see anyone, and will not be able to get benefits from their mother and daughter.
Master Shu had no choice, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed to Lord Wan's request.
To deal with people like Shu Erye, there is no need to spend too much thought, the hardships of life are enough to crush him.
Just like that, Mrs. Hou became Lord Wan's concubine and was taken away by him.
The old lady sighed with emotion, "In the past, I always thought that it was very unreasonable for the concubine to be able to buy and sell. Then the concubine should serve the elders, and there must be some kind of husband and wife relationship, right? Selling is simply inhumane. But you say Hou In the situation of my aunt, I have to be thankful that it is not necessarily a bad thing that this concubine can buy and sell."
