concubine leisurely

Chapter 20

There was obvious hostility in the quiet tone, and her question must not be well-intentioned. She rolled her eyes leisurely, oh, the sky is so blue, the wind is so gentle, the scenery is so beautiful, freshly picked and washed cherries, the taste is too sweet. Okay, let's have another one.

Quietly and disgusted, he looked at leisurely enjoying the cherries leisurely, without getting angry, and asked coldly, "In the law of this dynasty, if a wife gives birth to a son, the children of the concubine will all be slaves. I don't know what Miss Meng Wu thinks How about this law?"

An Ning, who was dressed in the same attire as An Jing, suddenly had a gleam in her eyes. The second sister asked a good question!If Meng Youran said that this law is good, doesn't that mean that she herself should be a slave?If Meng Youran said that the law is not good, tsk tsk, the law can also be discussed indiscriminately? !
Leisurely picked a deep red cherry and put it in her mouth, politely suggested to sister An Jia, "Today's weather is good, and it is best to be happy and healthy. There is a record in "Famous Doctors" that 'eating cherries makes you look good, Meizhi' , both of you eat more, it can replenish qi, nourish blood, and whiten your skin."

After all, An Ning is young, and her two sisters were waiting to see Meng Youran's distraught appearance, but she still had a calm expression when faced with such an embarrassing question, and she dared to avoid answering, it's really annoying!An Ning couldn't help it, and growled in a low voice, "Why does Miss Meng Wu care about him?"

"Why are you talking about him? What are the sisters talking about?" The clear man's voice sounded from the other side, which startled An Ning. After all, it was a bit rude to act in front of the guests. Baba said to the man on the other side, "Big brother, you, why are you here? Big brother is well."

Separated by a shallow stream, there stood a young man on the opposite bank, dressed in a blue brocade robe with dark patterns of flowing clouds and bats, his hair was tied loosely with hairpins, he was elegant and elegant, and his description was somewhat uninhibited. Zai Lin's eldest son, An Ji.

Jing Jing and An Ning came back to their senses, hurriedly stood up and met their elder brother, and greeted leisurely with a smile, "Mr. An is good." An Ji jumped lightly, jumped over the creek and came to the front, "Hello Shimei. Three What is the sister talking about, so focused."

Jing Jing and An Ning quickly looked at each other, bowed their heads in silence.With a leisurely chuckle, "Talk about the weather, say that cherries can beautify the skin, and Miss An's family has a long history, and she has a lot of research on the law." An Ji raised his eyebrows, "Law? My father is good at water control all his life. When it comes to the law and the origin of family studies, I am afraid Shimei is the most proficient."

Leisurely smiled and said nothing.She first came here to recuperate, and then lived with Meng Lai in Guangzhou. Meng Lai was the magistrate and also in charge of administration and justice.An Zailin and Meng Lai share the same discipline, and have worked together in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for many years, but Meng Lai's job is to inspect all officials, while An Zailin's job is to control water. An Zailin is a veritable water conservancy expert, not legal experts.Like his father, An Ji has a bold and uninhibited personality. Like his father, he is also a technical talent. He is only interested in water control. When it comes to laws, I am afraid that You Ran is really the most proficient.

To live in a society, of course, we must figure out the behavioral norms of this society.Leisurely has not only studied the law, but also carefully studied the women's precepts. Combined with the human environment she is in, she has won the convenience for herself as much as possible.

"This villa is very fun and interesting, Mr. An must come here often?" Changed the topic leisurely.An Ji shook his head and sighed, "I really want to come here often, how can I have the time? Today, I have to make an appointment with Wei Shu, so I have to be free." Lei Ran happily said, "Oh? Wei Shu is here too?" An Ji nodded, "Yes, Wei Shu's one An elder brother set up a Zhuangzi near here, which is the Luohu Mountain Villa next door. Today, one is to pay homage to the neighbors, and the other is the Zhuangzi that this elder just bought. He has not yet figured out how to lay it out. Let us learn from it and let us learn from it. Please help with the details. Wei Shu is talking with Dad and Uncle Meng Shi at the Guanyun Pavilion, let's go there together."

Nodding leisurely with a smile, he ordered Mo Tao to take the small bamboo basket and prepare to go to Guanyun Pavilion, but An Jing and An Ning hesitated for a moment, and asked Ai Ai Qiqi, "Brother, if you have a foreigner, the younger sisters won't go?" An Ji didn't Yue, "Specially work on these details! With a respectful elder, why can't you see your elder brother?" An Jing and An Ning agreed in a low voice, took the little girl, and followed An Ji obediently.

The four of them saw An Zai Lin and Meng Lai drinking tea in Guanyun Pavilion from a distance, and they were very happy.Standing beside him were two young men in brocade clothes, with respectful expressions.Entering the pavilion, I met An Zailin and Meng Lai, walked leisurely to a man in brocade clothes, and saluted with a smile, "Long time no see, brother well."

This man in brocade clothes, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a sense of honesty in his heroism, is almost like Zhang Zhao. He is Zhang Zhao's eldest son, Zhang Shu.

Zhang Shu returned a salute, "Hello Fifth Sister." After carefully looking at Youran, he turned his head and smiled at Meng Lai, "Uncle Meng, I haven't seen you for a few months, and Fifth Sister has grown a lot taller." Meng Lai was delighted and nodded with a smile .An Jing and An Ning also came up to meet Zhang Shu, and together they met Zhang Shu's elder brother Zhang Bing, and they were all called "Senior Brothers".

Zhang Shu is already very tall, and Zhang Bing is half a head taller than him. He has a very burly figure. Like Zhang Shu, he has a Chinese character face, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is upright and heroic. But there is fortitude in the heroism, although he is silent, he is quite powerful between Gu Pan.

"So the two of you will be neighbors in the future, which is really a good thing. Brother An can rest easy with such a famous general by his side." Meng Lai teased An Zai Lin with a smile.

"Exactly, I can rest assured that General Zhang is my neighbor." An Zailin nodded.

Zhang Bing leaned over and said respectfully, "Master An has high morals and prestige, Zhang Bing is very lucky to be neighbor with Mr. An."

An Zailin waved his hand and said, "General Zhang, you are being polite. Since we are neighbors, we should help each other from now on."

After exchanging polite greetings, An Ji asked An Zailin for instructions, "Brother Zhang's Zhuangzi wants to build several Jiangnan-style courtyards, Wei Shu and I will accompany you to have a look, so we can give you more details." An Zailin Nodding, "Go and play on your own, don't let down the beauty of the beautiful day."

Zhang Shu smiled and said to Meng Lai, "Uncle Meng, let Fifth Sister go together. There is a big fish pond over there. Fifth Sister likes fishing the most." Then he nodded in agreement, and told Youran again, and leisurely agreed one by one.

An Ning rolled his eyes, and said respectfully to An Zailin, "Father, Fifth Sister is a guest, my sister and I will accompany Fifth Sister." An Zailin agreed, and the six of them saluted and resigned. They left Guanyun Pavilion and went to Luohu Lake. The villa came.

On the way, Zhang Shu asked Youran, "Fifth Sister, Auntie held a flower viewing party today, and Ling Jia was helping at home, why didn't you go?" Youran approached Zhang Shu, and said in a low voice, "I am very filial today, and I want to stay at home with the old man. Ma'am, I didn't go to your house, but my father dragged me here when he was out, saying that I was naughty at home, and I was afraid that the old lady would be angry." Zhang Shu laughed, "That's how it is."

An Ning listened intently to Youran's reply, but couldn't hear clearly, and saw Zhang Shu and Youran walking and laughing all the way, contemptuously thinking that Meng Youran really deserves to be a concubine, with no education, talking and laughing with a foreigner, how decent it is !
Zhang Bing said politely, "It's a long journey, the girls should take the sedan chair." The order passed on that the sedan chair came, and You Ran was a little tired after walking, so she thanked her and got on the sedan chair and arrived at Luohu Mountain Villa.

Luohu Villa is built on the mountain, surrounded by an artificial lake. The villa is tall and peaceful. From a distance, there are small bridges, flowing water, hills and forests. Beside the big pond, there was a servant woman who set up a big silk parasol, installed bamboo chairs, took fishing rods and fish food, and set up a table next to it, with fruits and nodding tea. The servant woman served very thoughtfully, Mo Tao Quite a feeling that heroes are useless.

Zhang Bing and Zhang Shu accompanied An Ji for a walk, looked at several main buildings, and discussed where and how to build a courtyard. After discussing for a while, Fang returned to the pond and started fishing.

Seeing Zhang Shu approaching, Lei Ran discussed with him in a low voice about going into the water to catch fish, but Zhang Shu flatly refused, "No way! How can I explain to Uncle Meng when I go back?!" Gu Zi was fishing angrily, but he couldn't catch a single fish for half a day.

Zhang Shu patiently coaxed, "Fifth sister, brother, I have grown up so much, I have never fished in the water, and it is even more impossible for a delicate little girl like Fifth sister." , sitting leisurely and puffy, with her small face tensed, her lake blue brocade beige is bright and vivid under the sun, against which her skin is as crystal clear as jade, it is actually translucent.

An Ning smiled happily, she tilted her head, with an innocent look, "Miss Meng Wu, just now my sister asked you a question, but you didn't even answer her."

Jing Jing was taken aback, if her father and brother knew that she was so difficult to the guests, it would not be a joke!She winked at An Ning, but An Ning turned a blind eye, and continued to smile sweetly at Youran, waiting for Youran's answer.

Seeing someone interrupting, Zhang Shu quickly picked it up, "Oh? What's the problem?" An Ji held the fishing rod in his hand, and asked leisurely, "Yeah, I seem to have heard some people talking about him, what are you talking about?" what?"

Leisurely gets angry on her own, and ignores others.An Ning's eyes flickered, and he said, "My sister asked Miss Meng Wu a question, but Miss Meng Wu didn't answer. What my sister asked was that according to the law of this dynasty, if a wife gave birth to a son, the children of the concubine would all be servants. What does the girl think of this law?
An Ji and Zhang Shu were all stunned, knowing that You Ran was a concubine, asking such a question, this, this, this, this is too rude!What's more, there was a Zhang Bing sitting next to him.Zhang Shu's face darkened, "Miss An, please be careful!" An Ji scolded angrily, "What nonsense!"

At this moment Jing Jing got up as a bachelor, raised his head and said, "The law is indeed so, I'm not wrong!" An Ji's hands and feet were cold, and he turned around to explain something to Zhang, but he saw that Zhang was still concentrating on fishing, It's as if I didn't hear it.

A leisurely, clear and cold voice sounded, "The laws of this dynasty are very lenient. In my celestial dynasty, the sons of concubines and concubines have always been called concubines, and the status of concubines is lower than that of the sons of the prostitutes, and only lower than the sons of the prostitutes. They are not like slaves. In the history of the Celestial Dynasty, there is only a period of chaos and chaos. The son used to treat the son as a servant, but he was criticized very much by later generations. He was neither brother nor brother, and it was not enough to follow. If it is like the Goryeo Dynasty in foreign countries, concubines from nobles and good people The "concubine" and "concubine" born to good concubines are middle-class people, and the "bad sons" and "bad girls" born to concubines of noble and untouchable origin are untouchables. The law of this dynasty does not stipulate that concubine Children are slaves, in the final analysis, the Heavenly Dynasty follows the law of the father, whether it is a legitimate child or a concubine, the social status belongs to the same class as the father."

Everyone was silent for a while, An Ning saw that Youran was calm, not angry or embarrassed at all, but Zhang Shu looked at her with more concern, feeling unwilling, chuckled, and said softly, "The fifth girl Yimeng said so, If the children of concubines are not enslaved, they are not slaves? Isn’t it unreasonable for the law to be a slave?”

Leisurely looked at An Ning twice, this Miss An San is really strange, Uncle An is informal, but very decent, there are no sons and daughters in Uncle An's family!What kind of madness is this An Ning?
Leisurely smiled and said, "Being a servant? Whose servant? If you say that you are the servant of your biological father and aunt, does it matter? Whose family's children are not the servants of their parents. They must be filial besides obedience. Miss An was born Aristocratic family, knowledgeable and courteous, may I ask Miss An, is the current sage a Mingjun?"

An Ning was stunned, how did this involve whether the Holy One is Ming Jun?He hurriedly said, "The current sage is naturally a Mingjun." Who dares to say no, no one dares to say no.

"At the Great Court Meeting on New Year's Day this year, the Holy One held the Crown Prince with one hand and the King of Wu with the other, ordering the two brothers to love each other and support each other in the future. Concubine, may I ask Miss An, should they love each other and support each other according to what the Holy Majesty said, or should they treat the concubine as slaves?" You Ran asked humbly.

"Of course it is according to what the Holy Majesty said." An Ning did not dare to neglect at all. "It seems that Ms. An also agrees that half-brothers should love each other and support each other? Then why do you talk about slaves?" You Ran smiled and continued to fish.

An Ji's eyes were as fierce as if he was about to kill someone, An Jing and An Ning were defeated by his elder brother's eyes, and bowed their heads in silence.

Zhang Shu felt guilty. Seeing An Ning's smiling face, he really didn't expect to ask such an embarrassing question to Youran and Zhang Bing. He looked at Zhang Bing in apologetic way, and then looked at Youran in apologetic way. He was at a loss for a while, He choked out a sentence, "Fifth sister, it's really impossible to go down the river to fish for fish, why don't my brother take you up the tree to dig out the bird's nest?"

Leisurely put down the fishing rod, and said loudly, "Okay!" The joyful light in Zhang Shu's eyes made Zhang Shu also happy, and the two stood up, ordering the people following to prepare to go to the forest.Zhang Bing put down his fishing rod, and politely said to An Ji, "Brother An will accompany the two younger sisters to fish, and Wei Shu and I will take the fifth girl to the mountains." He gave the two younger sisters a hard look, and saw that there were many servants beside them, so they couldn't reprimand them, so they had to go back and talk.

Zhang Shu went all the way to coax Youran, and volunteered to bring the fifth sister out, originally to let her have fun, but the An family sister made such a move, which made her unhappy for nothing, and really couldn't allow her to go fishing in the river , Climb the tree, it should be okay, I took him up the tree in Guangzhou before, and Uncle Meng didn't object.

He said with a leisurely smile, "Brother Weishu, I'm fine, you don't have to coax me anymore, I'm not a child anymore." Zhang Shu laughed at her, "What's not a child? You are just like Ah Ji, a child who can't grow up." .”

"That's because someone loves and spoils you. If not, you'd be an adult long ago." Lei Ran said nonchalantly.

"Fifth sister is dressed so beautifully, how can she climb a tree?" Zhang Shu suddenly thought of a technical problem. "Why don't you go back and change your clothes?"

Zhang Bing, who had been silent all this time, said slowly, "No need." Zhang Shu looked at Zhang Bing suspiciously, "Brother?" What does this mean.

Zhang Bing smiled slightly, performed lightness kung fu, leaped among the trees, his eyes were straightened leisurely, he was like a big bird!Flying around like this is amazing!

Zhang Bing lightly landed in front of Youran, and asked softly, "Do you want to fly like this?" Youran nodded repeatedly, thinking and thinking, of course he wanted to.Zhang Bing untied the belt and shook it lightly, the belt was already wrapped around Youran's waist, and he jumped up the treetop with Youran effortlessly.
