Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 355 Suicide Attempt and Swear to Protect Nephew
Concubine Yin and Concubine Yin Hongzhi are siblings, and they grew up dependent on each other. The bond between the two is very deep. When she heard that her younger brother was going to commit suicide, Concubine Yin was completely dumbfounded for a moment. Not knowing what to do, he just stood there in a daze.

Fortunately, at this time, Li You walked over quickly, helped Yin Cheng who was on the ground up, and said worriedly: "Cousin, what are you doing, quickly invite uncle in. We are a family People, as long as they are a family, no matter what happens, if they sit together and talk about it, nothing will happen."

Li You's words were very warm, which made Yin Cheng look up at Li You and asked with some emotion: "Cousin, is it really okay?"

"Of course!" Li You laughed, showing a very warm expression, and quickly shouted to the outside: "Brother, you go to the gate of the workshop immediately and invite my uncle!"

Yaoyu received the order and hurriedly went outside to invite Yin Hongzhi.

But at this time, Concubine Yin looked at her son, but felt guilty in her heart, because Concubine Yin knew that her son said the words just now for her own sake, and her son had actually suffered a great deal of grievance .

It's just that Concubine Yin also understands her younger brother. Yin Hongzhi is the only male in the Yin family. It is understandable that he wants revenge, but he wants revenge but wants to entrap his own son. This makes Concubine Yin disagree, but although Can't agree, Concubine Yin still doesn't want her younger brother to die.

After all, Concubine Yin and her younger brother grew up dependent on each other, and many people can't understand the emotion in it.

Soon, Yin Hongzhi came to Concubine Yin's palace. After Yin Hongzhi came to Concubine Yin's palace, seeing Concubine Yin, Yin Hongzhi knelt down without saying a word, followed by the tears in his eyes. It kept flowing down.

In front of Concubine Yin and Li You, he uttered all the bad thoughts in his heart for the first time. Among them was the plan to trick Li You into recruiting soldiers and make Li You and Li Shimin fight each other. Ten said it out.

But Yin Hongzhi concealed the fact that he wanted to kill Li You again and again, because Yin Hongzhi knew that if he also revealed the fact that he wanted Li You to die, then Concubine Yin would never Will forgive myself.

This time, it was Yin Hongzhi who was put to death and reborn. He wanted to use the relationship between himself and Concubine Yin to dilute Li You's hostility towards him. More importantly, he wanted to find out about Li You's background. .

"How could you do such a thing!" Just after Yin Hongzhi finished speaking, Concubine Yin scolded Yin Hongzhi angrily. In this scolding, there was more anger than sadness.

When Yin Hongzhi heard his sister's scolding, he also sighed slightly, and then he seemed to muster up some courage. Suddenly, he took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed directly in his chest.

When stabbing, Yin Hongzhi shouted: "Sister, Hongzhi was wrong, I hope to be your younger brother in the next life, but I just hope that at that time, we will no longer be a family of siblings who have been slaughtered."

"Father!" With an exclamation, Yin Cheng rushed over.

Everyone has read the web articles. The web writers felt that traveling to ancient times to be a master was really tiresome, so they picked a copy with a difficulty of MAX for themselves, and went back to ancient times to be someone else's master and serve as a maid. A lowly little man!
Of course, with the blessing of the protagonist’s aura, even if the status is low, it’s only a temporary thing. The female protagonists use their beauty to attract the attention of the handsome male protagonists and even the emperor, and the male protagonists use their intelligence to make the superiors appreciate them. own new future and life.

It's just that the story is a good story, and the plot is naturally fascinating, so we have a question to ask, can such a plot like Jia Dingwen really appear in ancient times?
It's a pity that this kind of story should only be a story, and it will always be a story. A slave is a slave.

Why did slaves appear in ancient times.

In addition to the slaves plundered by war, the feudal dynasties did not lack the situation of civilians selling themselves as slaves. This is related to the high degree of land annexation. Sell ​​the child to the rich family.

In addition, there are some people in the society (that is, human traffickers) who abduct and sell children everywhere, and then sell these poor children to others.Since it was sold to someone else, it sounded like a servant, and a maid was actually someone else's personal belongings. The master had absolute power over the servants. He could beat and scold them at will, and he could also resell them.

So what does a slave do every day?

When the cock crows, the maids and servants will start to work, the male servants will start to clean the hall, Cangtou (the old man who is the gatekeeper between the inner and outer courtyards) will clean the atrium, and the maids in the inner courtyard will clean and furnish the tables and chairs. Get all the toiletries in order.When the master gets up, he will make the quilt for him, and stand by the master's side at any time to obey the master's instructions.

If the master asks you to quit, then go to the kitchen to help cook. If you don’t have work on hand for a while, it doesn’t mean you can breathe a sigh of relief. Hurry up and sew and do the laundry. As long as you need help at home, you have to help the master. At night, you will serve the master to sleep. You can only go to sleep by yourself, and if the master has orders in the middle of the night, he will obey them at any time.

So in the novel, the male and female protagonists still want to have leisure time as servants?Come, come, wash the stinky socks first!
Of course, what is said above is not entirely correct. In fact, maids and servants are also divided into grades, such as the companion bookboy, Chang Sui (including Hua An, the classic character of Master Xing, who has become a senior companion bookboy from the original servant girl 9527. , the status has also been greatly improved, and Baoyu's servant Mingyan is relatively free) only needs to accompany the master, and the low-level ones are the inferior servants who do manual labor.

High-ranking personal maids only serve the master's daily life (for example, the big maids in Baoyu's room, such as Xiren, Qingwen, etc., can also instruct the younger maids to do things), and the worse ones are rough maids. , doing chores, and most of the dirty work in the inner courtyard is done by them.

It's just that no matter whether you become a school companion or a high-ranking maid in the future, you have to start from a low level. According to the law, all slaves and maids who scold their parents will be hanged.Those who scold their parents for their relatives or grandparents will be punished with eighty sticks and two years of imprisonment.Great work, eighty rods.Small work, seventy sticks.Linen hemp, sixty sticks.If hired workers scold their parents, the punishments for slaves such as eighty sticks and two years of imprisonment are just the tip of the iceberg.

A servant bought a female slave and began to demonstrate. In addition to preaching the rules of the house and personal taboos, he also stripped the clothes of the slaves and beat them a hundred times with a whip. Those who shouted were beaten to death until those maids neither moved nor dared to speak after being beaten, as if they were beaten on wood and stone.

What does it mean?The servants have already expressed their psychological approval to the master's beating, and their dignity has also been worn away, becoming the master's loyal slaves.

The society also looks down on slaves. The public opinion is that if you sell yourself as a slave, you must obey the orders of your master all your life.Because you are not qualified to be a "human", you are just an animal, how many bitter tears are there when you are a slave!
Why do I say this? I want to tell everyone that the slaves are the direct bonds between Concubine Yin and Yin Hongzhi. They were once punished by Li Yuan as slaves of the Qin Palace.

Although Concubine Yin later became King Qin's concubine, it was a few years later. In these few years, Concubine Yin Yue'e relied on her younger brother Yin Hongzhi to survive.

This kind of bond is very deep, and it is also because of this bond, when Concubine Yin knew that her younger brother was cheating on her son, even if it was her own son, Concubine Yin still left the last trace of sympathy for her younger brother in her heart .

At this time, Yin Hongzhi's sudden suicide finally ignited that trace of sympathy.

"Hongzhi, what are you doing? You really want to leave your sister alone. Have you forgotten that when we were dependent on each other, the snow fell heavily and the weather was very cold. cold.

I was shivering from the cold, and you tried your best to find some dry firewood and light a fire for me to keep me warm. Without you, my sister would have died long ago.

My sister has no family anymore, do you really want my sister to be homeless again? "

After finishing speaking, Concubine Yin's tears couldn't stop falling. Seeing Concubine Yin bursting into tears, Yin Hongzhi, who was rescued by Yin Cheng, also knelt and came to Concubine Yin's feet, holding Concubine Yin After clinging tightly to his feet, he cried loudly: "Sister, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, brother knows he was wrong, give him a chance, brother is blindfolded by hatred, and brother swears that he will never do anything to make sister sad again. , the younger brother wants to accompany the elder sister, because the younger brother only has an older sister!"

After the siblings finished speaking, they hugged their headaches and began to cry. The scene was very touching.

Li You's tears also fell at this time, and then Li You walked slowly to Yin Hongzhi's side and said emotionally: "Uncle, we are a family, the past is over, and we will be together again in the future." Let's not talk about it, and our family will look to the future hand in hand.

Don't think about the past, in fact, my nephew still needs my uncle's help, as you can see, this time I was tricked by the king of Wei and the prince to go to Xiangzhou at the same time, if we can work together.

I dare not say that we can cover the sky with one hand, then at least my nephew will not be entrapped by so many people! "

Li You's words were very sincere, and Concubine Yin also said again and again: "Yes, Hongzhi, we are a family. I will not talk about the past. You must take good care of your nephew from now on. Our family Can't everyone look forward?"

"Okay!" Yin Hongzhi said with tears streaming down his face: "I, Yin Hongzhi, swear that I will protect my nephew in this life. If I violate this oath, the world will not tolerate it!"
