Chapter 259

When Lu Tieshi returned to the house, he saw that his daughter-in-law had fallen asleep early, and there was still an unextinguished candle for himself on the table.

He took off his clothes but was about to blow out the candle, but stopped again, holding up the candle and shining it on Wan'er's face, and saw that her eyelids were still slightly swollen, her eyebrows were not stretched as usual, but they were frowning. In one place, I couldn't help stretching out my hand to smooth her.

Ning Wan was half awake, so she mumbled, "Hurry up and sleep."

Looking at her appearance, Tieshi was indeed tired.In addition to the reasons I said in my mother's room, I also brought her a lot of hardships in the past few days when I came back, so I stopped thinking, blew out candles and lay down beside her.

In the middle of the night, Sophora japonica started crying as usual, Ning Wan fed the child and put her to sleep, Lu Tieshi picked up Sophora japonica and sent her to the rocking car, holding his wife in his arms, "I will leave tomorrow, Tell me if you have any grievances, and I will definitely solve them for you."

Ning Wan had a good night's sleep, and all the sleepiness of the past few days disappeared, even the unhappiness from yesterday disappeared early, so she smiled and said: "Now I have Sophora japonica, and you have been promoted again. Fifth-rank official, even my mother-in-law was urged to add someone to you, but I refuted it in one sentence. What kind of daughter-in-law can be like me, there is nothing to be wronged! If I want to be wronged again, I am afraid God will Not convinced!"

"But you still have a problem in your heart. When I came back just now, I saw you fell asleep and frowned." Seeing that she refused to admit it, Lu Tieshi thought for a while and guessed: "I don't think you are still angry because of my mother." , she has always been confused, and you are not the one who cares about her. It's just that I can't think of what it is for. "

Mother cried sadly, Lu Tieshi could understand.Why did Wan'er cry so sadly?He couldn't untie his mother's knot, but Wan'er was his wife, and he never wanted her to have a knot, so he asked again and again: "Good Wan'er, tell me, or I go to Huju Mountain Not at ease."

Sure enough, Ning Wan didn't care about her mother-in-law's stupid things, after all, she was actually cheated.But there was still a hurdle in her heart, but she couldn't get through it no matter what.Seeing Tie Shi making wild guesses, he quietly said: "Actually, it was my own little thought, and I know it's wrong, but I just feel uncomfortable."

"Now I only gave birth to Sophora japonica, so I won't let you take a concubine, but when I give birth to a son—no, after I have two or three sons, it will be hard not to keep adding people to your side. Thinking of this, I feel sad. It’s not a taste anymore.” Ning Wan hugged Tie Shi tightly as she spoke, “Thinking about that time, I feel like my darling has been snatched away by others, so I can’t bear it! That’s why I crossed Tieshi in the mother-in-law’s house. The more you cry, the more sad you are, as if you really had a baby, slept in the same bed with her, and threw me outside."

"It turned out to be such a trivial matter! What is it!" Lu Tieshi laughed, and pinched her nose again, "It turns out that I was wrong, and you are a small-bellied person!"

It feels so good to be such a precious person, Lu Tieshi smiled very proudly, and said after laughing enough: "Don't worry, since you don't want to part with me, I won't accept any concubine to be with her, I just hug her Seeing you sleeping in the same quilt, I only treat you as my darling!"

Ning Wan wanted to reprimand him for "nonsense". She was no longer a little girl who just came out of the farm. In her dream and after waking up, she saw a lot, but she had never seen someone who was an official.She is the most familiar with the Zhao family, it's just a classic history, the father-in-law has a concubine Zhao Guobao, if he hadn't been paralyzed on the bed, there may be more than this one, and there are more people around the incompetent Zhao Guofan; as for the real officials, County Magistrate Qian has two concubines, Xu Qianhu has five or six concubines, and Zhang and Cao's deputy Qianhu also have one or two, even the poorest Yang Baihu has a second aunt Yang!

Not only officials, but also wealthy businessmen and wealthy families. Who doesn't have a concubine?
Now that Tieshi is young, it doesn't matter if he waits a few years for a concubine or for good reputation, but he gave birth to a son, and Tieshi is already middle-aged, and there was no aunt in the family at that time. Others would also laugh at Tieshi and himself.

But Ning Wan didn't refute him, because she hoped that Tie Shi was telling the truth, just the two of them, and no one else in the family.Even now that she has been taught the secret method by Mrs. Lu Shao, she can manage the concubine's birth, but she doesn't want to see a concubine who can't have children!
So she knew it was wrong but still couldn't help but complied, but hugged him even tighter, "From now on, you belong to me alone!"

"Yes! It's yours alone!" Tieshi smiled more happily, "Since my people are yours, I will give you everything!"

The haze in Ning Wan's heart was swept away, and she also started laughing with him.

The two of them stayed awake in the middle of the night, and made up for the things left unoccupied last night. They also made up the things they couldn't get in the next few days in advance, and then said some heartfelt words. They hurriedly got up when they heard the sound in the yard. Instead, I caught up with my mother-in-law and the others to make dumplings for Tieshi.

After sending Tieshi away, the mother-in-law would treat her daughter-in-law better. One day, when she took out the Fengguanxia peepal, she said: "I just took it as an imperial order and sealed it as a matter of course. I didn't know it was your idea." I asked someone to do it for me with private money, but you didn’t tell me, if Tie Shi hadn’t told me, I would still be confused!”

Ning Wan just laughed, "Grandma, you and Tie Shi are both sincere people, such a temperament is the most rare. After all, my family is in business, and there are more people coming and going, so I know these twists and turns. But when it comes to the fundamentals , if I don't have the military achievements of iron and stone, even if I take a golden mountain, I can't ask my mother-in-law to seal it!"

The mother-in-law felt more pleasing to her daughter-in-law's words, so she said sincerely: "I'm already buried up to my neck in loess, what's the use of asking for this seal? It's really better to ask you to seal it directly! It can save some money. "800 taels of silver, the daughter-in-law is really willing!"
"If my mother-in-law doesn't have a concubine, even if I have something to wear, I feel ashamed!" According to the imperial court's decree, even if the mother-in-law is born in a concubine, she must obtain the conferment before myself.What Mrs. Lu said was just because her family's affairs were different from normal people's, so she could be fooled, but she couldn't do such unreasonable things, wouldn't she be the same as Zhou's?

In terms of character, my mother-in-law is actually very good, not a little bit better than Mrs. Feng, Mrs. Fu, etc., even compared to Mrs. Zhao, she is much more kind-hearted, but she is not smart enough. Often do wrong things.

So Ning Wan spoke up completely, "In fact, I was also at fault for what happened last time. When I heard that it was about Tieshi, I was too eager. For such a good person as my mother-in-law, I just need to explain clearly, how can I have a family?" They're all sad."

"It's still my fault. You've been so good to me, I almost made you suffer like I did!"

"I'm in a hurry..."

"It's clear that I'm confused..."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rushed to admit their mistake, and they looked at each other with a smile, and they were even more harmonious than before.Ning Wan patiently said to her mother-in-law: "Mother-in-law, don't worry about Tie Shi, Tie Shi treats me well, but I treat Tie Shi better. Right now, Tie Shi is suffering a bit alone in Huju Mountain, but when he was with her mother-in-law, he was able to be cruel. It’s like sending him to Duolun with all your heart, it’s all for his own good.”

"Although my father-in-law has a fourth-rank position, our branch is still self-made, so we must establish good rules from the root, so that we can pass them on in the future. It goes without saying that men are upright, practicing martial arts and defending the country. There is no such thing as young The principle of taking a concubine when you don't have a concubine."

Ning Wan opened the seal that her mother-in-law had obtained, and pointed to the text on it to show her, "This is the first seal of our family. When Tie Shi asks me to seal it, I will send this seal back to the capital. Write it down, and then stamp it with the "Treasure of the Patent" and send it back to our family. From then on, our family's hereditary official positions will be passed down from generation to generation, and this imperial seal will continue to be written, and a new one will be filled in after it is full. "

"My mother-in-law must also be willing that the last generation of our family's imperial seal is written by the wife who was brought in by eight sedan chairs, right? That's what I think! Only if it is passed down from generation to generation will it be decent and noble enough!"

"Wan'er, you are really knowledgeable, no wonder Tie Shi is willing to listen to you!" Only then did the mother-in-law realize that there are so many sayings about the imperial seal, and she also felt more and more how noble and dignified her imperial seal was.In this way, although Zhou has stolen the imperial seal that should belong to her, what should she think in her heart every time she sees the imperial seal?Will it be so confident?Thinking of this, Mrs. Wu suddenly felt that she had always thought that she had failed in a complete mess all her life, but no matter how detailed it was, she hadn't lost to the end!She smiled heartily.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was completely convinced of herself, Ning Wan changed the topic back, "Tieshi is now a fifth-rank military strategy general, and he may rise up in the future. In a few years, Huju Mountain and Hutai County , Anpingwei, and even when the whole of Liaodong is stable, he is middle-aged, and I have given birth to two or three sons, so I will decide to choose a sensible concubine for him to serve by his side, and I promise not to lose him !"

Tieshi has already promised himself not to take concubines, so of course he believes him.

But officials and scholars are different from ordinary people. They should enjoy the service of concubines. It is also stated in the law book that one is to respect the virtuous and the other is to spread succession.It can be said that this is the same benefit as Tie Shi's meritorious service and obtaining an official position. It is out of the world to insist on opposing it.

In his dream in the past, Tie Shi was a person who was not good at women and did not value children, but now he has changed, so he would actually like to ask for more concubines and have more sons, right?
Although it took Ning Wan several days to figure out this truth, she still feels sour and uncomfortable when she talks about it now.Fortunately, she comforted herself immediately, don't Mrs. Yang and Second Aunt Yang get along very well?Mrs. Yang is not unhappy with Second Aunt Yang, and Second Aunt Yang respects and takes care of Mrs. Yang very much. The reason why I feel so uncomfortable now is probably because I am too young.Maybe when I get to that age, I won't care.

The most important thing is that it is still early to take concubines. I only say that it will take at least ten or eight years for me to give birth to two or three sons, and it may be longer. I don't even know.And if I can't figure it out for a day, I don't have to mention it for a day. Tie Shi is a person who keeps his promises, and he loves himself very much, so he won't go back on his word!Now the first thing to say is to satisfy my mother-in-law.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wu got Tie Shi's persuasion, and she thought about one thing, so she smiled and said: "You two, you can discuss the matter yourself, don't tell me. As long as you live well, I will be happy!"

That being the case, then the matter of taking concubines can be put aside first!
