National color unparalleled

Use half a dry steamed bun to wipe off the excess charcoal lines, and put away the white cloth with only one corner drawn. ~Yin Ruxing once again took stock of his own family fortune.Dry food, wound medicine, silver, map.There are a few of these, but unfortunately the quantity and quality are not satisfactory.Only clothes and footwear are sufficient.

Food can continue to accumulate, but silver will accumulate more slowly.But it is difficult to find all kinds of wound medicines, and the map... is even far away.

Su Lei has a map in his room.But it was locked and put away.Items that belong to her inaccessible category.

After collecting the belongings, Yin Ruxing sighed helplessly again.It was so insecure.

The sun is shining brightly in spring.After the time moved into March, as the weather got warmer, the outings of the noble ladies in the city became more frequent.Mrs. Liu often dressed up brightly and went out to visit as guests, and sometimes she would bring her son and daughter with her.Probably because of the cold winter and the boring long nights.When arriving at the gathering of noble ladies in the warmth of spring, Liu discovered that many young women were pregnant.

There are only a few topics for women's gatherings, such as clothes, jewelry, husband and children.As soon as there were more pregnant women, Liu Shi was frequently asked about two things either implicitly or explicitly.

This one asked: "When will Madam add another lin'er to the Grand Duke?"

That one asked, "When will Er Gong hold the wedding?"

These two incidents made Liu's complexion very bad.

She gave birth to Su Chen a son and a daughter.From the perspective of the family, this is just a basic guarantee.And since Su Qian is a girl, it can only be regarded as a half guarantee.And most importantly, Su Qian, who is six years old this year, is her youngest child.In other words, she has not been pregnant for five full years.This is an extremely dangerous signal for the weak Su Chen.

What's worse, Su Lei, who is the third in line to inherit the Su family, has no intention of getting married at the age of 23.There is no heir.The bloodline of the Su family line has become very thin.This is also one of the reasons why the other offshoots of the Su family have a vague attitude in this battle for the city master.If these weak bloodlines lose both in the battle, they can re-elect a new city lord on the grounds that there is no direct descendant.

In such a beautiful spring season, Mrs. Liu, the head of the family, was once again distracted by this depressing topic. ~

The gossip in the mansion spread quickly.The small kitchen of Mosiju knew about Madam's bad mood in the shortest time, and chattered about it.

Aunt Wang said: "The young man is eight years old this year, and he will marry a wife and have children in a few years. Madam should be more at ease."

The corner of Yin Ruxing's mouth twitched after hearing this.From an eight-year-old child to marrying a wife and giving birth!Ma'am, your thinking is jumping too fast.I don't know how long these 'years' are.

Unexpectedly, everyone else in the kitchen nodded in agreement with this point of view.Aunt Gan Jiu added her idea vividly: "Even in the past few years, my wife should take good care of her body. It is best to add another husband."

Xiao Anxiang interjected: "I heard that Mianyunju has invited a doctor to see Madam, and they have been brewing medicine for the past few days."

Aunt Wang added common sense to her: "Madam injured her body when she gave birth to Miss Qian five years ago, and it took more than a year of recuperation to recover. This medicine can be used to make up for the body."

Yin Ruxing saw what they were talking about, so he couldn't help joining in with an itch: "So, Madam has taken care of herself three years ago. Why hasn't there been any movement? Could it be that the Grand Duke has problems these years? The doctor should also Just show him."

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the kitchen looked at her strangely.Xiao Fenxiang gasped, covered her mouth in horror, "Ru girl, how could you say such a thing!"

What is wrong with what she said?Isn't it the responsibility of both husband and wife to have no children?What's wrong with both checking and checking?

Gan Jiusao let out a muffled laugh, and said with a strange expression, "Ru girl, Madam has no news, but someone in Luoxia courtyard has news. How can you say something like Grand Duke..."

Luoxiaju?Yin Ruxing, who didn't have that string in his head at all, remembered it now.Boss Su Chen can xo more than just Liu Shi.The group of concubines in Luoxiaju have conceived one after another during the past five years.Boss Su Chen's fertility is not a problem.

Can't blame her for not expecting it. ~Mainly because she has not adapted to the inheritance law here.In fact, the inheritance law of the Tianyuan State states that concubines have no inheritance rights, which is not accurate.The accurate statement is that only legitimate daughters have the right to inherit.But Tianyuan State is monogamous.There are only husband and wife in marriage.The concubines in Luoxia Courtyard and Su Chen are slaves and masters, not marriage.Therefore, the children they gave birth to were born out of wedlock.

Daughters born out of wedlock have no right to inherit property.This tradition and decree made the house fighting index of the noble ladies of Tianyuan State surprisingly low.

Yin Ruxing was very emotional about this: "Fortunately, my wife gave birth to Mrs. Jing and Ms. Qian. If there are two couples who have never had children, how can they be born?" In ancient times, when medical conditions were backward, the infant mortality rate was very high. What should I do if there is no birth, or none of them can be born?

Mrs. Gan Jiu said: "It's fine, how can I say such depressing words."

Aunt Wang was thoughtful, thinking of Yin Ruxing's status as a concubine in the future, she persuaded earnestly: "Even if this is the case, children born to concubines cannot inherit the family business. They are usually passed on to the brothers and nephews with the closest blood in the family. Some young couples will remarry with each other."

There is no such thing as adoption in the Tianyuan State, and it is common for women to remarry.Yin Ruxing compared it with ancient China, and found that the root cause was that women here had personal property rights.

As long as they are not slaves, women can have property rights regardless of commoners or nobles.At least that's what the law says.This means that even a single woman can live well as long as you can afford to keep your property.Of course, this 'ability' is worth negotiating.Even if Yin Ruxing has just settled here, he also knows that the real world will not be as beautiful as described in the law.Otherwise, how could she, a grown woman who can support herself, be sold to the Su Manor as a slave?

However, for aristocratic women with family backgrounds, this decree has real benefits.Because of this, when the head of a family without an heir died, his estate generally fell into the hands of his wife.During his wife's lifetime, the members of the family have no power to divide up.If the widow wants to remarry with that estate...

Yin Ruxing hasn't come into contact with this gossip yet, so he doesn't know what will happen next.

While they were talking lively, a young man ran over to pass on a message: "Miss Ru, so you are here. Miss mulberry picking is here, looking for you."

Yin Ruxing was at a loss.Back in the courtyard, he saw Caisang standing in front of her room door, and immediately said: "Sister Caisang is a rare visitor, please come and sit in the room."

Cai Sang entered the room with a smile, looked around the room, and praised: "It's much brighter than your original room. There are also more decorations." Then she saw the big table under the window, on which there were pens and ink Paper inkstone.A small shelf was placed against the corner, and two rows were placed above it.There is a sewing dustpan below, and there are some scattered fabrics and sewing purses in it. "Pfft" laughed out loud: "You are trying to save trouble, so you put it so nondescript. Is it a room or an embroidery room?"

Yin Ruxing poured her tea and said with a smile, "It's nothing. I'm not that young lady, so I have to sleep in one room, eat in another room, write in one room, and do sewing in one room. Naturally, I put everything together."

Cai Sang took a sip of the tea, seeming to point it out: "If you are a young lady, you will too. You may not be able to become a young lady in the future."

"Who said that?" Yin Ruxing pretended not to understand, and rolled his eyes: "I don't know how to embroider. There is no lady who is as clumsy as I am."

Cai Sang also smiled: "You too, you have the time to learn to write but not the time to learn to embroider. After all, it's better to put in some effort. Even if you make one or two purses to carry, it looks good, doesn't it?"

Yin Ruxing smiled casually: "I don't pay attention to that. A girl, who will find fault with me?"

Cai Sang glanced at her: "It's fine to be fooled around in this mansion, it's so shabby if you don't have to go out. Madam will go to Puji Temple to offer incense in ten days, let me come and ask you, do you want to go together?" "

Yin Ruxing was surprised: "Ask me?"

Her surprise was justified.Going to the temple to offer incense is a large-scale activity.Even if Liu Shi wants to ask, she should ask Su Lei if he will go or not.How did you ask her a maid?

Cai Sang smiled slightly, leaned over and lowered her voice: "My good sister, I know a little about your feelings for the second husband. Although you are a first-class maid now, you are in charge of the room. After all, you are still estranged from the second husband. No To tell you the truth, the incense in this Puji Temple is a first-class efficacious. Go and burn a stick of marriage fate incense, maybe it will work out in the future..."

Yin Ruxing listened in surprise, feeling embarrassed inside.It turned out that Liu Shi had made two preparations in order to conceive again.Not only ask a doctor for recuperation, but also pray for the blessing of God and Buddha.And she was the one who dropped by.Of course, the ultimate goal is still for the continuation of the Su family.If Su Lei touches her under the blessing of the Bodhisattva, there is no reason to object to the marriage in the name of maintaining chastity.

Yin Ruxing has no interest in this.Although she is also planning to add intimacy to Su Lei's relationship.But this approach is by no means advisable.Burning incense for marriage is undoubtedly to inform the world of the purpose, which is a very stupid thing.Apart from arousing the vigilance of the target Su Lei, it will not be of any use.

Cai Sang was still talking: "...the scenery of Puji Temple is also excellent. There are apricot groves in the mountains, and the apricot blossoms should be in full bloom at this time... The craftsmanship of the fast food is superb, there is no restaurant in Jiangcheng that can compare... Temple of the Year Before Years There is also a newly built pagoda in the city, which is seven stories high, and each floor is enshrined with Bodhisattvas, which can be seen outside the city..."

"Pagoda!" Yin Ruxing's eyes suddenly lit up and interrupted her: "Sister Caisang, is there really a seven-story pagoda?"

Due to the limitation of technical level, there are no tall buildings in this era.Three floors is amazing.The pagoda should be the type of building that can reach the highest height.If you stare high, you can go far, and you can overlook the whole city...

"This pagoda, can I climb up to pay homage?" She asked carefully.

Cai Sang hesitated for a moment: "Going up to the pagoda? I've never heard of it. Okay, what are you going up for? Puji Temple was originally built on a mountain, with a seven-story pagoda and a narrow top. What if you go up so high and fall down? "

Yin Ruxing smiled and said: "There is a saying in my hometown. Whenever you meet a Buddha, you must worship, and when you meet a pagoda, you must sweep it. This shows your sincerity. Since there are seven-story pagodas, why not sweep them?"

Cai Sang laughed when he heard the words: "What kind of rule is this? We have never had it here. Otherwise, you can ask after you go to Puji Temple. See if they will give you sweeping prayers."

Yin Ruxing thanked her with a smile: "My sister will go too, please trouble me to introduce the monk to me so I can ask."

"Okay." Cai Sang readily agreed.It's just a question, it's a trivial matter.
