Chapter 506 The Wife
"If I'm compared with the second brother, I'm not good at it. But I'm far better than many children from aristocratic families. Whoever says I'm not good at playing the piano, playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Qiang flute and Xiao, I can taste it. I'm not keen on making tea, and I don't like it. I don’t know at all. I didn’t like these arty things when I was young, so I learned little. It’s just that my mother said that children from aristocratic families have to dabble in these things, so I patiently learned a little, as long as I can fool them, why bother to be proficient? These things are all ostentatious, and they can’t help me win a battle, so it’s useless to learn.”

"If you don't want to learn, Madam Hou doesn't care?"

"My mother has very low requirements on me, as long as I grow up healthy, I have my elder brother and second elder brother..." When Xie Xun mentioned Xie Zhang, he couldn't help thinking of that tragic scene again, and his heart ached. He didn't want to make Feng Yu sad , said in a brisk tone, "Mother is different from ordinary ladies, she is unique, and because of this, father fell in love with her at first sight."

"I also admire Madam Hou very much." Feng Yu has heard many rumors about Madam Hou. When she was a girl, she was the most beautiful and free-spirited girl in Kyoto. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Gao family. Even how to be a queen, when Mrs. Hou married Lord Hou, many people thought it was unbelievable. Lin's daughters rarely marry into the family of military generals. Being the wife of Zhenbei Hou is more stressful than that of the Gao family. The daughter-in-law is much older."

Xie Xunqing also heard several wives talking about his marriage when Dou was still in love. At that time, he didn't have a favorite woman, so he only wanted to marry a woman like his mother in the future.

Being able to support the lintel and knowing the general situation is a good match in the minds of all men.

"I think the upbringing of women from aristocratic families is against our nature. The elders taught us to marry and obey our husbands, to please our husbands, and to grow old together with him. But they also taught us to be general, not to be jealous, and to be tolerant of our husband's three things." Wives and four concubines. Not only do you want to grow old with your husband, but you also have to accommodate three wives and four concubines. How many women in this world can do it. Mrs. Hou treats her brother-in-law and second brother as her own, and treats her two aunts as sisters , you have brought up the three of you so well, Madam Hou is the most remarkable woman in my heart just for this."

Xie Xun actually didn't have much resistance to the topic of three wives and four concubines. This was related to his upbringing and growth environment. He was pampered and grew up, although his father was a bit stricter.The wife, the two aunts, and the elder brother love him very much, and Xie Zhang has also become like a father to his elder brother.

In the Hou's mansion, there is no such thing as a aunt's harsh treatment of her children, and there are no scenes of wives and concubines competing for power. He doesn't know how his father balances the relationship between his mother and the two aunts.

The relationship between the mother and the two aunts has always been very harmonious. Xie Xun still remembers that when he was very young, his father was busy with the war and only went home once a year.He came and went in a hurry, and stayed in his mother's yard every time he went home. He was not sensible when he was a child, and often ran to his mother's yard. When his father came back, he didn't know what to avoid. It is also rare to hear parents quarreling.

The two aunts were never jealous because of their father's preference, and when his father was not at home, they would not stay alone in the vacant room, depressed and grieved.

In his memory, they were like sisters and had always been happy.

In the Hou Mansion, there is not even a concubine eldest son who is too capable, and Xie Xun also acquiesces in his heart when Xie Zhang is shining brightly, that the eldest son's title in Zhenbei Hou Mansion belongs to the eldest brother.

Therefore, Xie Xun has no resistance to three wives and four concubines in his heart. Even when he was young, he felt that brothers should be of the same heart, why should brothers fight against each other.

Only when brothers unite can the family be in harmony. He doesn't even understand that brothers from other families are beaten to death in order to fight for the title.

He used to naively think that the wives, concubines, and brothers in the Jingzhong clan's family were all the same as the Zhenbei Houfu, and he didn't know until he entered the Imperial College.

There is a difference between a concubine and a concubine, a wife and a concubine.

But Xie Xun doesn't care either, other people's homes are other people's homes, and the Hou's Mansion is the Hou's Mansion.

Fengyu mentioned Mrs. Hou intentionally. She seemed to be making tea calmly, and said in a flat tone, "Zhixu, I am not Mrs. Hou. I will never allow my husband to have three wives and four concubines, no matter whether he is the son of the Hou family or not." I don't allow the prince who guards the border, or the king who rules the world."
