Wentang

Chapter 384

Before entering the palace, Yue Shan had someone notify the mansion, so after he went back this time, the mansion had already made the preparations, and he just enjoyed it.

First, all the people in the house came down to greet him under the leadership of Xiang Ning, and then they ate and washed to prepare for rest.After several days of boating and staying in the palace during the day, I was already exhausted.

However, when he was washing today, something happened that caught him off guard. In the middle of washing, Xiang Ning walked in wearing a tulle and said she wanted to help him take a bath.

How could Yue Shan not see what she was thinking, a fair-skinned and beautiful big beauty made a posture that you can pick and choose, anyone who changed it would probably be a wolf.

Yue Shan is no exception, but his ever-increasing self-control allowed him to restrain himself.

It's not that he is Bai Lianhua Liu Xiahui or something, he has no mental cleanliness and no single-minded thinking.He can accept one-night stands, going to brothels, etc., and he doesn't think there is any problem.

Even when he just crossed over, he dreamed of marrying three wives and four concubines, but when Li Shimin announced that he would be the princess, he gave up this idea.

Let’s talk about concubines here first. We usually say that three wives and four concubines are actually wrong.The law stipulates that a person can only have one wife, and there is no such thing as a flat wife, which is purely invented by novelists.

Some people will say, isn't there such things as "partial wife", "lower wife" and "next wife", with the word "wife"?
In fact, the other wives other than the main wife are 'unknown, but they are also called 媵, and the 媵 has the meaning of a spouse other than the main wife'.

What does it mean, that is, the so-called side wife who is unexpected by the main wife does not have the name of wife, and is called 媵 by everyone.And 媵 refers to the spouse other than the main wife, that is, the concubine.

Not everyone has the right to take concubines, only dignitaries have this right.Generally, princes have eight concubines, princes have six concubines, and so on.

The so-called concubinage by ordinary people is to spend money to buy a sleeping maid.

It is said that Su Shi gave away his concubines, but in fact, those concubines who were sent away were housemaids, and he dared not give away concubines in the true legal sense.Besides, whether Su Shi is qualified to take concubines in his official position is another matter.

The children born to real concubines are concubines, who are also sons of the family and can enjoy certain benefits, but the inheritance rights are relatively low.Unless there is no legitimate son, the concubine is not eligible to inherit the family business.

In fact, once the family is separated, the son-in-law will also give the son some property, or a few acres of land, or a few shops, or let him be a steward to help manage the family business and so on.

You can not give it, but you will be poked in the spine and said that you are too harsh on your brother.

The concubine we often talk about, that is, the child of the housemaid, is not even a concubine. Strictly speaking, it is the same nature as an illegitimate child, and his status is not guaranteed. Even if the concubine kicks him out of the house, no one will say anything.

As a marquis, Yue Shan is naturally qualified to take concubines, but the situation will be different after he becomes a princess.

Everyone knows that it is not easy to be a concubine, especially the prosperous dynasty's concubine is even more difficult, and a concubine who wants to take a concubine is the most difficult to be a concubine.

What is Shang Consort?To put it bluntly, it means that the princess marries the son-in-law, not the son-in-law marries the princess.After they got married, the two also lived in the princess's mansion, not in the son-in-law's house.

How much courage does the son-in-law have to raise a concubine in the princess mansion?Are you tired of living?Even if the princess is magnanimous, don't you feel uncomfortable when you raise other women in your wife's house?
It's okay to raise a concubine in another courtyard outside the princess mansion, but running around all day is troublesome and tiring.And what about the children in the future?
So since he became Li Lizhi's son-in-law, he gave up the idea of ​​taking concubines, and if he really wanted to steal something, he would go to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion.

Yue Shan naturally knew what Xiang Ning was thinking, and if she touched it, she would marry her back home and become a concubine.

If it is said that the two have feelings, he can still fight for it. If there is no relationship at all, how can he ask for trouble.So he immediately made a decision that it was time to settle this matter.

He didn't drive Xiang Ning out directly, but turned around and asked her to rub his back.

Xiang Ning's face turned happy and then ashamed, thinking that her idea was about to succeed, so she stepped forward with charming eyes and stretched out her snow-white and delicate hands to gently rub his shoulders for him.

Yue Shan only felt a sore feeling spreading from his shoulders all over his body, and he almost lost his mind, so he quickly twisted his thigh under the water to regain his sanity.

"how old are you?"

"It's already past Double Ten." Xiang Ning replied softly.

"Is someone Xu?" Yue Shan continued to ask.

"No, I've seen a strange man like Da Lang, other men are slaves..." Xiang Ning said in a sweet voice.

"If you're 20 years old and you haven't married yet, your family members should be in a hurry. How about I find you a good family." Yue Shan interrupted her directly.

Xiang Ning paused, her face turned pale, and her beautiful eyes showed aggrieved and sad emotions.

Yue Shan didn't seem to notice it, and said to himself: "My guard Xu Shanying, you have seen him, and he hasn't married yet. He saved my life a while ago. I wanted to recommend him to be an official, but he disagree."

"So I changed my mind. In the future, I will take one of his sons as a foster son and take him with me to train him. So don't look at him as an ordinary guard on the surface, but actually..."

At this time, a flash of determination flashed in Xiangning's eyes, she wiped away her tears and interrupted him: "I agree."

"What?" Yue Shan was a little overwhelmed by her answer.Agree so easily?Not thinking about it?Maybe if you persist and seduce, I can't hold it anymore.

"Isn't a woman just trying to be a virtuous husband and filial son in this life? The bodyguard is your personal bodyguard. The future is limitless. Now you have the promise that your descendants will be rich and prosperous. He is a good husband who is hard to find even with a lantern. Marrying him is my blessing." Xiang Ning said with tears in her eyes, showing a poignant smile.

The handsome appearance of this pear blossom with rain is really pitiful to me, it makes Yue Shan feel like he is committing a crime, but he knows the reason to stop, he gritted his teeth and said: "Since you want to take it so much, it's best, tomorrow I will take it." Let Xu Shanying go to your house to propose marriage."

"Okay, I will tell my parents the good news." Xiang Ning said.

"Well, then go and get ready. You don't have to wait on me tonight. I'm tired after driving for a few days. I'll rest after taking a shower," Yue Shan said.

She agreed to this marriage, she was her brother's woman, let alone have any other ideas, forget about taking a bath or something.

"No, just let me wait on you for the last time, because... I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future." Xiang Ning said stubbornly.

Yue Shan was silent for a while before saying: "Okay."

Afterwards, after taking a bath under Xiangning's service, Yueshan went back to rest, while Xiangning went back to her room and wept silently.

But she stopped crying just a few times, and quickly got up to look at her eyes in the bronze mirror, and found that they were only a little red and not swollen, so she was relieved.

There will be a blind date tomorrow, but her eyes can't be swollen from crying. She wants to see her future husband-in-law with her best side.
