Concubine

Chapter 119
The magistrate also didn't sleep all night. After knowing that the concubine accidentally caused the child's death while breastfeeding, the magistrate still felt sorry for the concubine. In addition, he had already whipped her severely, and the anger disappeared. So he called the doctor to treat the concubine's wounds, and he personally fed the medicine. The concubine was so moved that she cried bitterly, and determined to give birth to a fat boy for the prefect of Zhou.

Sure enough, a year later, this concubine gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, which delighted the prefect of Zhou with a feast for three days.This is something to say, don't press it.

The head arrester escorted Liu Biao and others back to the magistrate to report to the magistrate Zhou. The magistrate Zhou was surprised and delighted. He went out and broke easily, which made him very happy.When Yang Qiuchi and the others rushed back, Zhou Zhifu repeatedly thanked him.

Yang Qiuchi said a few words of humility, and said that the arrest of Tu Laosi was in vain. The prefect of Zhou immediately ordered the four sects to send people to strictly investigate.At the same time, a sea arrest document was issued, and the portrait hunted down Tu Laosi.

Yang Qiuchi and the others didn't close their eyes all night, they were exhausted and went back to their rooms to make up for their sleepiness. Now they had to wait quietly for Zhou Zhifu to arrest Tu Laosi.

Yang Qiuchi didn't wake up until noon.The servant came to report that the butler of Hao Yuan's family had been waiting in the living room outside for a long time and was here to pick up Yang Qiuchi and Long Zixu for the banquet.

Song Qing hadn't passed the door yet, so of course she couldn't attend the banquet.Yang Qiuchi greeted Song Zhixian and the others, and brought Long Zixu to Hao Yuanwai's house in a sedan chair.

Hao's house is not far from the yamen, and they will arrive in a short while.

Yang Qiuchi got off the sedan chair and saw that it was indeed a rich family. The house occupied a very wide area. A pair of stone lions were majestic and majestic at the entrance. All six gates had been opened, and there were servants standing on both sides of the gate.Standing with hands down, seeing Yang Qiuchi get off the sedan chair, they bowed together to salute.

There is a large plaque hanging on the forehead in the middle of the gate, with two gold characters of Dou Da written in official script: "Hao Mansion".

The old couple Hao Yuanwai and Hao Yifeng stood in the middle of the gate.I bow my hands and salute.The etiquette was very thoughtful, and Yang Qiuchi and Long Zixu were welcomed into the gate.

Going around the screen wall directly opposite the gate, there is a spacious yard behind, with two rows of servants and maidservants neatly arranged on both sides.They all stood upright.It seems that the Hao family attaches great importance to this banquet.All came out to greet them collectively, the scale alone is extraordinary.

After Yang Qiuchi took over all the properties of the He family's mansion, he had never been there, so he didn't know how his mansion compared with Hao Yuan's family.It is estimated that most of them can't compare.The He family is just a rich man from the countryside, so it can't compare to the Hao family, which has businesses all over the place, and it is really a big family.

into the living room.There were two rows of maids and servants standing on both sides, and a large round table was placed in the middle.The table is full of delicacies from mountains and seas.It was extremely rich, and in terms of the richness and delicacy of the dishes, it was stronger than the banquet held by the prefect of Zhou yesterday.

Hao Yuanwai and his wife didn't talk much, but the main reason was that Hao Yifeng, the son of the Hao family, kept exchanging pleasantries with Yang Qiuchi.Yang Qiuchi couldn't figure out what their intentions were, so he laughed casually.Hao Yifeng welcomed Yang Qiuchi into the banquet and sat down at the head of the banquet, but arranged Long Zixu on his other side, leaving the seat next to Yang Qiuchi empty.Yang Qiuchi was a little surprised. Are there any guests yet?

At this time, several women turned out from the back of the living room, the first one was in her early 20s, with a melon-shaped face, a pair of red phoenix eyes, the corners of the eyes were slightly tilted upwards, and she looked intently.With snow-white skin, wearing a pomegranate red dress, she has a graceful figure, walking in small steps, her waist swaying lightly, like a spring breeze blowing willows.There are a few people who look like maids following behind, and these maids are actually very handsome.

Hao Yifeng stood up and said: "Brother Yang, let me introduce you. This is my sister, her boudoir name is Hao Qian."

Hao Qian smiled slightly, and said a blessing to Yang Qiuchi: "Little sister has met Mr. Yang." The voice was as clear as a silver bell, and it was very pleasant.

Yang Qiuchi secretly sighed in his heart: he never thought that his rival in love would have such a beautiful sister who is as beautiful as heaven and earth.

Hao Qian also wished Long Zixu a blessing, and then sat down beside Yang Qiuchi.Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed, the beauty was sitting beside him, smelling the faint orchid-like body fragrance on her body, Yang Qiuchi was both excited and nervous, almost at a loss what to do.

The girls around Yang Qiuchi before were almost all young girls under the age of 20, and there were even unsophisticated yellow-haired girls, such as Song Yuner.Now I suddenly met a mature woman in her early twenties, a woman full of charm, and so stunning, especially those red phoenix eyes, which are simply captivating, and I can't help but feel excited all over my body.

It is very strange that women in the past, such as Qin Zhihui, such as Song Qing, and even the charming concubine Mei Niang in Songzhi County, could only make Yang Qiuchi feel this passionate feeling after having physical contact with Yang Qiuchi. This Hao Qian just smiled lightly like a silver bell, and the single phoenix eyes flew away, and the blood in Yang Qiuchi's whole body was already ignited.

Yang Qiuchi was a little ashamed, and even looked down on himself. With this concentration, can he still achieve great things?However, it is normal for a young man to be tempted by a beautiful woman, but it is not normal for him not to be tempted.

Yang Qiuchi always thought that people like Liu Xiahui were either inhumane or prudish.After finding an acceptable explanation for himself, Yang Qiuchi calmly let the gongs and drums in his heart start beating randomly.

Hao Qiandan glanced at Yang Qiuchi with phoenix eyes, covered her mouth and smiled lightly, as if she had expected her reaction to Yang Qiuchi.The Hao family father and son also smiled, as if they were satisfied with the result.

Yang Qiuchi remembered one thing, just now Hao Yifeng introduced Hao Qian's name as her boudoir name, but did not introduce her husband's family name, could it be that this Hao Qian is not married yet?That's strange, Hao Qian is so beautiful, and her family is a first-class wealthy family in Ningguo Mansion, why is she still in her early twenties and hasn't gotten married yet.In the first year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, he decreed that for civil marriages, males should be 16 years old and females should be 14 years old.From this point of view, in the Ming Dynasty, this beautiful woman Hao Qian could be said to be an old lady.

Hao Yuanwai seemed to see through Yang Qiuchi's thoughts, and said: "The old couple has been worrying about the marriage of the little girl Hao Qian for many years, but they have not found a suitable family. Either the family is not suitable, or the person is not good. It has delayed until now. Let Yang Gongzi laugh gone."

So, it seems that Hao Qian has very high requirements for this marriage, but the Ming Dynasty put more emphasis on agriculture than business.Although their family is rich.But he was not seen by the family of officials and eunuchs, and the result was that he could not be high enough or low enough, which delayed him.Taking a sneak peek at Hao Qian, she thought to herself.Just rely on her condition.In modern society.What kind of people can't find it.It's a pity that he was exiled to the Ming Dynasty.Really hard life can not blame the government.

The banquet started, and after drinking for a while, Yang Qiuchi still didn't discover the real purpose of this Hongmen banquet.I don't even bother to guess.They don't talk about themselves and don't ask, anyway, there is a beautiful sister sitting next to them drinking.

After Yang Qiuchi drank, he began to talk more.I had nothing to say with Hao Qian: "Miss Hao Qian, what do you like to do on weekdays?"

Hao Qian replied shyly: "Little sister usually sits at home as a female worker. Sponsoring mothers to talk, or write poems, draw some pictures and so on."

As soon as Yang Qiuchi heard this, he became interested. He didn't dare to answer this poem. He has never been very good in liberal arts. What he can remember is the few Tang poems in the textbook. He can draw two strokes in painting. When he was in middle school, he participated in the school's interest group, learned sketching and so on, and painted Chinese painting for a few days, so he knew a little bit, so he asked: "So Miss Hao Qian is good at Danqing? The painting is not bad, I wonder if I have the pleasure of admiring the girl's calligraphy?"

"The young master has won the prize. How can the younger sister draw graffiti at will in her spare time, how can she fall into the eyes of Young Master Yang's Fang family?"

"Hehehe, girl, don't laugh at me. Although I drew twice when I was a child, it was the real graffiti. Now I have forgotten how to hold the pen. What kind of Fang family are you?"

Hao Yifeng said from the side: "Sister, since the young master is also well versed in this way, why don't you take this opportunity to ask young master Yang for advice."

Long Zixu didn't speak for a while, and then he interjected: "Brother Yi Feng, you're welcome, Miss Hao Qian Danqing has indeed achieved certain attainments."

Yang Qiuchi was a little strange: "Mr. Long, how do you know?"

Before Long Zixu could answer, Hao Qian had already said, "Mr. Hao once pointed out my younger sister."

oh?Can't tell, this poor scholar was once the teacher of this beauty: "Mr. Lian Long said so, Miss Hao Qian's painting is absolutely extraordinary!"

Hao Qian was very generous: "Since the young master is so ridiculous, then I will draw a picture, and ask young master Yang to teach me a lot."

Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed: "Okay! When? How are you now?"

"Little sister obeys!"

The servants brought a long desk and laid out paper and pens.Hao Qian drank a glass of wine, walked behind the desk, picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, pondered slightly, and began to draw.Yang Qiuchi, Long Zixu and others watched intently from the side.

Hao Qian's painting is a freehand painting of flowers and birds, and the painting is finished after a cup of tea.Inscribed a small poem on the painting: "Don't be blessed by the Eastern Emperor's good fortune. Dai's lead has faded from her innocence. Shame follows Haoling's flowers to compete for whiteness. It is suspected that Dongliju has returned to her soul."

The little maid brought a seal, Hao Qian took it and stamped on the painting.Showing a smile to Yang Qiuchi: "Little sister is showing her ugliness."

Yang Qiuchi stroked his chin like an expert, nodded and praised repeatedly: "It's great! This brushwork, this use of ink, this composition, this artistic conception, it's really good~!" He shook his head and read the inscription on the painting again, It is full of praise, and even called it a good poem.Yang Qiuchi didn't know what was so good about it, so he could only talk about it in general, and couldn't say anything else.

Hao Qian smiled: "Since you like it, my younger sister will dedicate this painting to you."

Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed: "Really? That's great, thank you! Thank you!"

Hao Yifeng ordered his servants to take the painting to mount immediately.Everyone was seated again, and the banquet continued.

Yang Qiuchi has a little more affection for Hao Qian. It seems that this girl is not a vase. She is not only beautiful, full of the charm of a mature woman, but also very talented. , apart from being able to check the dead, I don't have any skills, let alone these things.

Yang Qiuchi was very happy and kept toasting to the Hao family.Especially for Hao Qian, drink after drink, drinking with beautiful women is a pleasure.Hao Qian is obviously not good at drinking, after a few drinks, her face will be flushed, slightly drunk, she apologizes to Yang Qiuchi with a smile: "Sorry, my little sister will come whenever I go." It seems that she wants to go to the inner hall to drink sour plum soup to sober up , or to touch up makeup.

Yang Qiuchi smiled and said, "Girl, please go ahead!"

A little maid behind her stepped forward to support her, and stepped into the back hall. Yang Qiuchi's gaze followed Hao Qian in the back hall until Hao Qian disappeared, and then looked away reluctantly.

Hao Yuanwai kept smiling and Mimi watched the two of them talking, and now he said: "Young Master Yang, I have a deep friendship with Zhou Zhifu. The Zhou Zhifu praised you very much yesterday. I also feel that Yang Gongzi is talented and smart, and has a bright future. Unlimited. After thinking about it, the old couple came up with an idea. Today, I deliberately didn't call anyone else, just to discuss this matter with Mr. Yang."

coming!I said this Hongmen Banquet must have a purpose.Yang Qiuchi sneered in his heart, but listening to his tone, it didn't seem to be a bad thing, and it was a little strange.

Member Hao looked at his wife and Hao Yifeng, and said to Yang Qiuchi: "The old couple want to give the youngest daughter Hao Qian to the young master as a concubine. I don't know what the young master wants?"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, which shook Yang Qiuchi so confused that he couldn't figure out the north, south, east, west, and north. He was surprised, happy, and afraid. This was just a joke. After a long time, he stammered and asked: "Old man, old man, are you joking?"

Hearing Yang Qiuchi's words, Hao Yuanwai looked at his wife and son, stroked his white beard and laughed.Mrs. Hao smiled and said: "If the young master is still satisfied with the young girl, let's settle this marriage."

Like it!Of course I like it!She is beautiful, literary, connotative, knowledgeable, and a concubine. What could be more desirable in this world than this!Yang Qiuchi smiled crookedly, but he can't speak now, and if he speaks, he will leak his words, so they can't let them see that he is such a pig.

Member Hao saw that Yang Qiuchi was smiling but didn't speak, so he said: "I also inquired, and I know that Mr. Yang already has a wife in his family, and I heard that he is a wife of bad luck. Mr. Yang almost married a man from Ying Tianfu because of her." Mr. Qian turned his face. It is really a person with love and intentions. The old man admired him very much. He also heard that the wife of the young master manages the family well, and Ling Ci is also kind to others. After the daughter is married, she will definitely not suffer. It has been brought up. Young Master, don’t be offended.”
