Chapter 1108 Foundation(1/2)
The imperial court granted the Feng Mansion three concubines, which meant that if Junhou Feng married three concubines, they would be supported by the court and Junhou Feng would not have to pay for them himself.
Therefore, Amei and Li Mu can get Lumi from the government every year.
Of course, as the royal wife, Feng Guanshi, she is naturally more qualified to receive one.
In the beginning, the imperial court really sent rice to the house.
When General Guan saw his own Lumi for the first time, he carefully took the rice sent by the government and compared it with his own rice.
Finally came to a conclusion:
The rice sent by the government is not as delicious as the rice at home.
This discovery greatly disappointed General Guan.
After Hua Wan stayed in Chang'an for a month, she found out that she could actually receive monthly money from her family. She was as surprised as General Guan when he received Lumi for the first time.
Seeing her looking at the small notes handed out with rare curiosity, Feng Junhou couldn't help but say:
"You are a rich woman yourself, how can you be so happy with this little money?"
"What do you know? Can my hard-earned money be the same as the money my government sends me every month?"
Hua Wan carefully put the ticket close to her body, snorted at Feng Junhou with her nose, turned around and left.
Feng Junhou looked at her small figure and felt a little bit at a loss.
Obviously, the imperial court only gave out lumi to three people, but the Feng family had to give monthly payments to five people.
This means that I have to pay for two people’s monthly expenses.
This is the consequence of controlling the big head but failing to control the small head.
Men are indeed thinking animals with their lower body.
Feng Junhou sighed.
Feng Junhou, who was reflecting, was quickly interrupted. A servant came to report:
"Your Majesty, there is someone visiting outside the mansion."
"Oh? Who will come over at this time?"
Feng Junhou took the invitation, opened it, and immediately raised his eyebrows:
"finally come?"
The visitors were none other than Pei Qian and Pei Xiu, father and son.
If Pei Qian was the only one, he should have come here long ago.
It's just that Pei Xiu was sent to study (and work) everywhere by Feng Junhou. Without Feng Junhou's consent, how could Pei Qian dare to take his son away from the construction site privately?
Women in the Unmarried Camp had to donate money and food from each family before they could be taken back. The King of Han followed the people in Hedong and rescued them from the chaos, and provided them with good food and drink.
You didn't care about people during the turmoil, but now that they have settled down, you show up and want to take them away with empty words?
how?
Do you really think that the strong soldiers are your free labor?
A certain labor trafficking leader named Feng didn't even dare to think so.
Not to mention that Pei Xiu was a person who had been personally summoned by King Feng Gui. If the Pei family really didn't know what was going on, Mr. Shi who had been staying in Hedong had a way to make them know.
So after going back and forth, I first sent someone to talk to Feng Junhou to make sure that Feng Junhou had no other thoughts about the Wenxi Pei family.
He also asked Feng Junhou for his opinion, saying that the head of the Pei family did not hesitate to abandon Wei and surrender to the Han Dynasty, but a considerable part of him missed his son too much and wanted his son to accompany him these days.
Finally, with Feng Junhou's permission, Pei Qian returned to Chang'an with Pei Xiu.
"Hahaha, Mr. Pei has been famous for a long time, and today I finally get to see him!"
Before Feng Junhou entered the door, the hearty voice came to him first.
Pei Qian, who was waiting in the living room with his son and was thinking about how to speak, heard the voice and quickly stood up to greet him:
"Your Majesty's words are serious. You have heard of your Majesty's reputation for a long time!"
"Sit down, please sit down, no need to be polite."
Feng Junhou extended his hand to indicate that he walked to the main seat and sat down. His eyes fell on Pei Xiu who was standing next to Pei Qian:
"Pei Langjun, have you gained anything these days?"
After hearing Feng Junhou's question, he quickly bowed and answered:
"Thank you for your concern. Xiu has been traveling around the world these days, and I realize that I had little knowledge before. Being able to work with the students of the college is really a blessing."
Feng Junhou seemed to have expected it and smiled:
"As long as you have something to gain, your hard work these days will not be in vain."
Pei Qian cupped his hands and said:
"Qian has not thanked you for taking care of my wife and children."
Feng Junhou smiled and said:
"It's just a little effort. It's just..."
Feng Junhou glanced at Pei Xiu meaningfully, "At that time, I thought Pei Langjun was extremely talented, but I didn't expect that he claimed to be the bastard of the family and was not valued by the family."
Let me just say that Pei Xiu is a famous figure in history. Even the United Nations named the Moon Ring Mountain after him.
In the next few hundred years, the Pei family will have many talented people, including dukes and princes, and they will have endless crowns and robes.
The famous Prime Minister Village in later generations came from the Pei family.
How could such a famous family be blind and miss such an awesome person?
Pei Xiu apologized quickly:
"Reporting to the Lord, there was great chaos in Hedong at that time. I heard that there were rebels who were specifically trying to kill people from wealthy families. Xiu and his mother were among the rebels, so..."
Feng Junhou smiled lightly and interrupted Pei Xiu:
"Okay, you don't need to explain, I understand. Under the circumstances, you not only stood up and defended your mother, but you also considered this aspect, which is really good."
After all, Pei Xiu was just a teenager. When Feng Junhou said this, he just said that the other party really didn't take it seriously, so he felt relieved.
Of course, the main reason is that he has indeed learned a lot these days.
The so-called master of heaven and earth, in Pei Xiu's subconscious mind, Feng Junhou was already a trustworthy figure.
But Pei Xiu's lord Pei Qian felt a thump in his heart when he saw Feng Junhou's appearance.
There is a saying that "Feng Langjun is charming with his clever words, but Xiao Wenhe is ruthless and ruthless".
The notorious Feng Guiwang was bullied by others, so he would be so generous and let him go so easily?
"The prince is unaware that Quanzi is indeed the son of a common concubine. He was not valued by the clan when he was young."
"However, I think he is extremely talented, so I have carefully cultivated him. However, even though I am the head of the family, I am often said by some elders in the clan that I am not distinguished between my direct descendants and my descendants."
"In the past two or three years, Axiu has strived for success and gained some fame in Hedong. He finally lived up to my expectations, so I stopped the people in the clan from gossiping."
"That's true, but Axiu's biological mother came from a slightly humble background, ahem, and it was Axiu who protected her, so she was not underestimated."
Feng Junhou watched Pei Qian reveal his family shortcomings with a wry smile and shook his head, and thought to himself:
It is true that outsiders did not dare to look down on his mother because of Pei Xiu.
But I can't say for sure about his aunt.
I heard that Pei Xiu’s aunt even asked his biological mother to come out to deliver soup and rice to the guests!
"I understand the troubles in Mr. Pei's heart."
Feng Junhou smiled and said, "Since ancient times, it has been often said that there is a difference between the legitimate son and the descendant. Especially if the family is big and prosperous, if the legitimate son is wise, then it will be easier to say."
"I'm just afraid. If there is a situation where the legitimate son is a mediocre person, if the family property is passed on to the legitimate son according to the rules, the family property accumulated by the ancestors for several generations will be ruined at any time."
Even if he was not completely defeated, it would still be embarrassing to be swallowed up by someone from a different clan, and his wife and children would have to look up to others within the clan from then on.
"It's just that if you pass it on to a concubine, you're afraid that the world will laugh at it and the family will be uneasy, right?"
When Pei Qian heard this, he felt as if he had met a close friend. He nodded repeatedly: "Junhou Mingjian, that's it, that's it!"
Seeing the other party's appearance, Feng Junhou knew that the rumor that Pei Qian wanted to pass the title to Pei Xiu might not be groundless.
"Parents have their own partialities in their love, as is human nature, not to mention that whether you are born as a son of a human being, whether you are a direct descendant or a concubine, is not something you can decide."
"But when you are born, you are naturally inferior to others and underestimated by others. Isn't it unfair in the world?"
Hearing Feng Junhou's words, Pei Qian was so frightened that he stood up and his face changed drastically: "Junhou?"
Feng Junhou looked at Pei Qian with a calm expression:
"Confucius was born in a wild union, but he had the heart of a saint. He wrote classics and handed them down to the world. All Confucianism learned from him. How does his brother Meng Pi compare with him?"
Pei Qian was immediately speechless.
"Besides, it was Emperor Xiaowu who deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism. This was the foundation of the Han Dynasty's four hundred years of etiquette and law."
