Concubine

Chapter 23
Yang Qiuchi patted his head, with a painful expression on his face: "Why can't I remember anything!"

Feng Xiaoxue had already cleaned the rice and put it into the pot, and was adding firewood to the stove. Seeing Yang Qiuchi slapping her head, she hurried over and grabbed Yang Qiuchi's hand: "Husband, you were scared after being swept away by the strange wind." It’s because I forgot everything. I’ll get better with time.” Having said that, I hope that my husband won’t remember all the things about eating, drinking, whoring, betting and beating his wife.

Yang's mother also said: "Yes, don't worry, baby, mother and you will recall slowly, and you will remember it later." She said so, but what Yang's mother thought was that the former son left the family with a little value. Everything was pawned and sold, and the money he got was used to gamble. He didn't let himself worry at all. Today, his son came back like a different person. Not only was he filial and obedient, but he also gave himself so much money at once. Mother Yang In my heart, I also hope that the child will not think of those things in the past, and just be a good child like this, that would be great.

Yang Qiuchi pulled Feng Xiaoxue to sit down.Feng Xiaoxue knew that the shocking black spot on her face was on the left side of her face, so she obediently sat on the left side of Yang Qiuchi, so that her husband could not see the black spot on her face.

Sure enough, when she couldn't see the black spot, Feng Xiaoxue looked very handsome, and Yang Qiuchi felt a ripple of tenderness in his heart. He gently put his arms around Feng Xiaoxue's slender waist, and asked in a low voice: "Xiaoxue, mother said we are all married for four years." It's been a year, why haven't you been pregnant?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Feng Xiaoxue's expression darkened, and she shook her head lightly.

Yang's mother said on the side: "Oh! I have seen several doctors, and I have taken a big basket of medicine. I have worshiped all the temples and Bodhisattvas around, but there is no news. What will our Yang family do in the future! Alas! "

Feng Xiaoxue slightly raised her eyes to look at Yang's mother, then lowered her head, and said softly: "Mother, didn't we agree that when we have money, we will take a concubine for my husband to carry on the Yang family?"

Concubine? !Yang Qiuchi was shocked, taking a concubine?Thinking of the empathetic, well-behaved and handsome appearance of the concubine in the movies and TV series, and the hot scene of the hot and hot bed, panting and singing, my heart is surging.

"Alas~!" Mother Yang sighed, and said, "That's the way it is said, but how can we have so much money?"

Yang Qiuchi tried his best to calm his mind, pretending to be indifferent, and said, "Mother, why do you have to take a concubine? Why don't we go and adopt one?"

"Nonsense!" Yang's mother stared, "What are you talking about? Can you adopt him casually? After all, he is someone else's child, not our Yang family's blood. There is no other way to do that!" After a pause, he continued, "It's not like you can't have children! That year you had an affair with the He family girl, and she was pregnant with your child for three months!"

ah?I still have such a skill?Yang Qiuchi was very surprised. It seems that the Yang Mizuo he replaced was really not easy. He even hooked up with the family's maid, and made his belly bigger, amazing!Yang Qiuchi asked: "Then why didn't she give birth to us? Doesn't our family have descendants?"

"It's all fate!" Yang's mother recalled the past, feeling a little sad, "You can't remember, mother told you, we had no money to redeem this girl at that time, and the He family not only refused to give up the price, but deliberately made things difficult for her." The girl, who killed her family, made her desperate, threw herself into a well, and was buried on the back mountain... Alas~! One dead body and two lives!"

"How much money do they want? We can borrow it!" Yang Qiuchi said angrily.

Mother Yang looked at Yang Qiuchi and said distressedly: "It would be great if you had such a heart at that time."

"What happened to me then?"

"Oh! Forget it, it's been all these years, don't mention it."

"Mom, tell me!"

Mother Yang thought about it, and it was better to tell her son, and continued: "At that time, you didn't care about the girl at all, and you secretly took away the little money that the family borrowed to redeem her. How can there be relatives who are willing to lend us money." After finishing speaking, he raised his sleeve and wiped away his tears

Yang Qiuchi lowered his head, with a painful look: "Mother, was the boy really like that before? The boy must learn well in the future, and I won't hurt your old man's heart again."

"That's good! That's good!" Mother Yang tremblingly took Yang Qiuchi's hand and said with tears in her eyes.

Yang Qiuchi thought for a while and asked, "Mother, if you want to take a concubine, how much will it cost?"

Feng Xiaoxue lowered her head sadly when she heard Yang Qiuchi say this.

Yang Qiuchi knew in his heart that this little girl was jealous, even though Yang Mozuo was not good to her, but after all, he was her husband, and if the husband wanted to take concubines, no matter how generous his wife was, he would feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.Yang Qiuchi tightened his arms around Feng Xiaoxue's slender waist, and lightly touched Feng Xiaoxue's head with his head.

Feng Xiaoxue turned her face slightly, looked at Yang Qiuchi, forced a smile, and lowered her head again.

Mother Yang said: "Girls are different, so the price for taking concubines is different. Back then, the He family asked for 300 taels, because she was a young girl who deliberately made things difficult for us. If she took an ordinary girl, it wouldn't cost so much." He sighed again, "Life is hard these days. There are too many children in the family to support them. Just think about finding a good family to live a good life. Such a woman doesn't need much money, but at least five 60 taels."

Five 60 taels?That is RMB 6 to 6, which is not too expensive to get a concubine.He asked again: "Five or sixty thousand yuan, no, five or sixty taels of silver can marry a girl with yellow flowers?"

"What are you dreaming about?" Mother Yang smiled, "It would be nice to marry a little widow at 60 taels, or she is too ugly, like when you married Xiaoxue, it only cost 52 taels of betrothal gift."

Yang Qiuchi felt Feng Xiaoxue's body tremble slightly, and knew that Yang's mother's words hurt her, so he said: "It is our family's blessing that we can marry Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue is so gentle, sensible, and hardworking. It costs 500 taels value!"

Hearing Yang Qiuchi's words, Feng Xiaoxue raised her head and glanced at him gratefully.

At this time, there was a gurgling sound from the rice pot, Feng Xiaoxue gently broke free from Yang Qiuchi's embrace: "The rice is ready!" After saying that, she stood up and went to the stove, opened the lid, and put a spatula in the pot Flipping, listening to them while busy.

Mother Yang also realized that what she said just now was a bit inappropriate, so she echoed, "That's right! Xiaoxue is very filial, and our family is indeed lucky to marry her. It's a pity..."

Yang Qiuchi knew that Mother Yang was going to talk about Feng Xiaoxue's infertility again, so he quickly changed the subject: "Mother! Can't you not take concubines?"

"Of course not!" Mother Yang said with a stern face, "You forgot that we went back to your hometown village to visit your father's grave on Qingming Festival last year, just because you have no offspring for so many years, the old master of the Yang family will not let you enter the ancestral hall to worship your ancestors !Old Master Yang also said, if you don’t have a son, don’t expect to enter the Yang family’s ancestral hall in the future!”

"Is it that serious? There's no reason to force people to have sons! They're bullying me, right? I'll give birth to ten of them right away and show them!" Yang Qiuchi pretended to be angry and said, but in fact Happy to die.

That's right, which man with three wives and four concubines doesn't want to, but he just doesn't say it out of his mouth. Now that there is an order from Yang's ancestors, it just happens to be a big excuse. He was tired, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and showed a look of helplessness.

"Ten? Alas! If our family has the money to let you marry a younger one and give birth to a son, my face will be shaved, and I will be worthy of your dead father. Sigh~!" Mother Yang sighed.
