At noon, the sun is hot, which is the hottest time in summer. If it were at this time of previous years, Ximen Qing either ran away or practiced martial arts at home.

But now, she was soaked in a bucket of warm water sprinkled with her petals, and sighed with her beautiful eyebrows.

Some things are much more troublesome than she thought before! I originally thought that being a concubine for Wu Haogu was a matter of mutual affection and the interests of the Ximen family were in place, and it had nothing to do with others.

But now we have to add two aspects: Pan Qiaolian and the Pan family, as well as Fan Zhijin and Yanggu Fan family.

In addition, the Song Dynasty court also needs to interfere! What does it have to do with taking concubines as concubines and the official family? Why don’t you allow yourself to be concubines? Isn’t it okay to be lewd? Is this emperor too much?

OK, don’t be lewd... I’ll sell it to Wu Dalang’s head office? Why do you still have to participate, write a turtle book, make a contract, and estimate your value?

In fact, Ximen Qing doesn't care how much it costs, and the Ximen family doesn't care... What the Ximen family wants is an official! As long as Wu Haogu can recommend one or two children of the Ximen family to be officials, Ximen Qing can sell it to Wu Haogu for a penny.

But if Ya Yi is involved, the price has to be estimated... This makes the Female Simen's face really unstoppable!

Her status in the world is similar to that of Huang Rong and Huang in Jin Daxia. Can you imagine how much Huang Rong and Huang's value are, and then sign a contract, and Yamashita is the guarantee and sold to Guo Jing and Guo as a concubine?

In addition, Ximen matchmaker also clearly told Ximen Qing that it is impossible to be a formality after "buying it and becoming a concubine" after entering the official family!

Even if Pan Qiaolian has a bad future, Ximen Qing can only be a concubine! And Wu Haogu can still marry another wife to suppress her.

This matter is really hard for Female Simon to accept.

"It would be great if I could be a concubine. Now Old Man Chai and my aunt should be in Kaifeng Mansion? Dalang should be willing to let me be a concubine..." Ximen Qing murmured, "I just don't know if Sister Pan Shiba is willing to do it anymore?

If she refuses, what will I do in the future? Dalang, you must convince Sister No. 18!"

As he spoke, Ximen Qing touched his increasingly bulging belly... The fetus inside was getting bigger and bigger. If Wu Haogu didn't come to take a concubine again, what would he do?

Thinking of this, even the female hero Ximen Qing's eyes flashed...

...

While Ximen Qing was secretly wiping tears in the bathtub alone, Wu Dalang had just soaked in a bucket of steaming bath water, and was sucking in the cold air with his teeth grinning.

The bath water was prepared by the Arhat maid following the instructions of Brother Zhao Zhong and Lin Wancheng. It was to relieve Wu Haogu who had practiced martial arts for a whole morning. It seemed that he had added some Chinese medicine to the bath water. Wu Haogu felt that thousands of ants were drilling into the muscles and veins and muscles in his arms, shoulders, waist, abdomen, and legs. That feeling was so painful!

Wu Haogu endured the pain and asked loudly: "Is it...is it hurting the tendons and veins? Why is it so painful?"

"Dongweng, no, the four dolls of Tiandi Xuanhuang have been much harder than you, and even slaves have been practicing more than you. Aren't they all good?"

While speaking, the Arhat maid rolled up her sleeves and exposed her two white, thick and strong arms, "Let me come and press it for you to relieve your fatigue."

I don’t know if it was because he was in danger again in Xijin Mansion that stimulated Wu Haogu’s spirit. When he was taking refuge with Guangmingjun, he started practicing martial arts. After returning to Kaifeng Mansion, he asked Brother Zhao Zhong and Lin Wancheng to formulate a training plan together, and practiced with the four and a half young men of Wu Tian, ​​Wu Di, Wu Xuan and Wu Huang every day.

But although Wu Haogu is an adult, how can he compare with the four slave boys bought by Brother Zhao Zhong? Before the four little slaves complained, Wu Haogu couldn't stand it.

The Arhat maid who served Wu Haogu laughed out loud when she saw that her master was useless, so she would inevitably be punished.

However, Wu Haogu did not use a whip to whip her, but instead punished her to practice martial arts with him - this girl must tell that practicing martial arts is very hard!

But I didn't expect that the Arhat Maid had also practiced. After the training volume exceeded, I could still do housework and serve Wu Haogu... I could not see any fatigue at all.

The body of this fisherman is really strong! Such a girl who is slaver is probably better than many imperial guards in Kaifeng Prefecture! What kind of a savage like Aguda is so awesome? It’s a headache to think about it!

"Oh, hey... be gentle!"

When Wu Haogu was thinking about what the barbarian who was beaten by Aguda, his sore and painful little shoulder was pinched by a pair of jade hands of a female barbarian who was particularly strong, and suddenly there was a twitching and soreness.

"I am wrong, please punish me." The Arhat maid quickly apologized and confessed, and the strength in her hands was reduced by 70% to 80%. After pressing Wu Haogu, she felt nothing at all.

"Oh, Qing'er is better!" Wu Haogu sighed and couldn't help but think of Sister Ximen. That was the good woman who was the one who was the best at taking care of herself!

I don’t know how she is now? Have you ever cried all day because of missing herself?

When Wu Haogu thought of Ximen Qing, he felt a little headache and embarrassed.

He discussed with Mi Youren and Gao's wife several times in the past two days, and also learned about the various unreasonable regulations of the Song Dynasty's imperial court on taking concubines.

Taking a concubine... It turns out that she still needs her husband's wife, that is, Pan Qiaolian agrees!

And there is no "elusion and love" as a concubine. His behavior and Ximen Qing are the most sinful crimes and are to be arrested and sent to jail.

Of course, Wu Haogu had never heard of a dignified official from the seventh-rank court who was sentenced to a prison because he seduced a female hero.

Besides, the crime occurred at the location of the crime not within the territory of the Song Dynasty... I don’t know if the officials in the Song Dynasty have jurisdiction?

However, even if Wu Haogu is not afraid of the crime, he will still have to pass Pan Qiaolian's level if he wants to get Ximen Qing!

And Pan Qiaolian...can agree to this? If she doesn't agree, what should she do?

This is really worrying!

When Wu Haogu was worried, the gate of the cross-yard where he lived was creaking and someone pushed open. Gao Qiu walked in with a scroll and a blue shirt.

"Dalang, it's me, Gao Qiu is here!"

After returning to Kaifeng Prefecture, Wu Haogu and Gao Qiu suddenly became closer. Gao Qiu moved his house again during the period when Wu Haogu was not in Kaifeng Prefecture, moved from the north wing to the west wing of the city, and bought a house worth more than 70,000 yuan. It was not far from Wu Haogu’s current residence, so he often came to visit him.

His arrival made the Arhat maid "free" the punishment. Wu Haogu finished his bathing early, changed into clothes and walked out. Although his body had not recovered his strength, his spirit improved a lot. His body seemed to have become much lighter and stronger.

It seems that the training plan formulated by Lin Wancheng and Zhao Zhongge is still useful.

The scroll brought by Gao Qiu is a "Divine Horse Picture", which is a handwritten painting by Zhao Ji. On the painting, there is a red horse that looks very majestic and an inscription written by Zhao Ji: Now I have a Red Cloud Horse in the Western Regions to send a friend Wu Dalang to congratulate Gao as the deputy envoy of the East Shanghemen.

"This is..." Wu Haogu looked at the red horse in the picture and asked Gao Qiu, "Does King Duan give me a horse?"

"Yes." Gao Qiu smiled, "I heard from somewhere that you have been collecting horses. A few days ago, the Xiping Palace sent a batch of horses to Beijing, and the Duan asked the official family for a tall mare."

The so-called "mare" means mare. Because stallions (also known as mares) have a bad temper and cannot be controlled by them by no masters of equestrians, they are either riding horses or mares for the nobles in Kaifeng Mansion.

However, Wu Haogu did not collect good horses for himself, but wanted to build a breeding ground for good horses, so he did not want to slap horses, just tall and mare horses and mares.

Speaking of this horse farm, Wu Haogu was worried about not knowing where to build it, but now he has a place to go. This horse farm is built in Lighthouse City. Anyway, the lighthouse city has a strong planning area and cannot be used for the time being, so it is just for horse farming.

"Okay," Wu Haogu looked at the extremely majestic red horse in the picture and praised, "This horse is so good... I really don't know how to thank King Duan."

Gao Qiu smiled: "Dalang, do you still need to thank you between you and Duan? You are Duan's friend now! If there really is one day when His Highness Duan becomes the emperor, you will be successful."

"I don't want to be successful," Wu Haogu put away the scroll and smiled bitterly: "Now I just want to be with my beloved..."

"Mr. Beloved?" Gao Qiu looked at Wu Haogu with a smile, "Is that lady Simen?"

Wu Haogu nodded, "Does Brother Gao have any good ideas?"

Gao Qiu frowned, "I wonder how Dalang, you want to solve it?"

"I..." Wu Haogu sighed, "I always hope Shiba can tolerate her. If it really doesn't work... I can only let her be a bad guy."

"Isn't it right for the outdoor room?" Gao Qiu shook his head, "There is no title in the outdoor room... I'm so unfair to that lady Simen."

Gao Qiu thought for a while and said, "Dalang, I always feel that the Ximen family is not simple! You met Ma Zhi through them... Without Ma Zhi, you would not be today, and you can't break the bridge across the river!

What you can treat badly now is the Pan family, Jiehe Market, and they are very beneficial to the Pan family and Pan Shiyilang. He will not turn against you now just because you take a concubine. If he doesn't turn against you, what can the Eighteenth Sister do? And the Ximen family..."

Before he could finish his words, Jin Ping'er's voice suddenly came: "Son-in-law, son-in-law, someone from Ximen Xiaoyi's family is here, right outside the gate."
