The concubines of the Great Xia Dynasty were different from those of later generations. Most of them were responsible for their duties and recognized their identity and status. They did not dare to be arrogant and had the dream of a sparrow turning into a phoenix.
Their status is actually no different from that of maids. They have to serve the whole family during the day and serve the male master alone at night.
And once she becomes a concubine, even if the principal wife dies, she cannot be used as a house filler to become an official.
Lan Lian didn't want Lin Xiao to give Li Yuyan away.
As the concubine of this family, her life was much better than that of other concubines.
The head of the house is sensible, the hostess has no airs, and the three of them live a very comfortable life.
If Li Yuyan leaves and Lin Xiao comes back with a new wife, can he guarantee that the new wife will be as good as Li Yuyan?
Thinking of this, after putting the dishes on the table, Lan Lian immediately knelt in front of Lin Xiao and cried:
"Master, you can't be stupid! Sister Yuyan is a very good woman, you don't want to give her away!"
"Giving her away? How could I be willing to give her away!"
Lin Xiao, who was slightly tipsy, helped Lan Lian up and said with a smile.
"Then what you just said to the general..."
"Don't you think the general is a very nice man?"
Lin Xiao smiled and patted Lan Lian on the shoulder and continued:
"Don't worry Lan Lian, I will find you a better family later..."
Plop!
Before Lin Xiao could finish her words, Lan Lian knelt down again and said with tears in her eyes:
"Master, don't you want Lan Lian? Lan Lian promises that from now on, I will only eat one meal a day, not white rice, just multi-grain rice. I don't want any clothes or shoes. I just ask the master to keep me..."
"Oh, you misunderstood me. It's not that I don't want you, I just...Oh! Forget it, just think that I'm drunk and crazy, and everyone drinks, drinks!"
Lin Xiao far underestimated the loyalty of women in feudal society. She did bad things with good intentions, so she had to find a way out by herself.
After three rounds of drinking, Lin Xiao was completely drunk.
Li Yuyan picked her up and entered the room.
Looking at Lin Xiao's little face that was red from the alcohol, Li Yuyan couldn't help but touch it carefully with his rough hands.
"Silly woman, do you really want to give me to someone else?"
As if hearing Li Yuyan's helpless voice, Lin Xiao muttered in his sleep:
"Yu Yan, the general is a nice man. I see you two chatting happily. I believe you will be very happy with him, and..."
"And I'm still counting on the day when you have the right to help my sisters regain their status as daughters. At that time, I can also pursue my own happiness openly."
"Yu Yan, you will help me, right? Yu Yan, Yu Yan..."
Li Yuyan understood after hearing Lin Xiao's heartfelt words after drinking.
He kissed Lin Xiao's white forehead with eyes full of love, and said seriously and solemnly:
"Silly girl, don't worry, I will definitely restore your identity and let you be a woman for once!"
…
Lin Xiao and others never expected that on the night they were drinking and eating meat, Japanese bandits sneaking in suddenly launched an attack on the seaside town of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The people in the entire seaside town were slaughtered, with countless casualties and blood staining the beach red.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
Looking at the bloody and tragic scene in front of him, Liu Yong, the deputy commander of the coastal defense force of the Great Xia Dynasty, said with an ugly expression.
"What should I do? Of course I have to fight back and find rescue!"
Upon hearing Liu Yong's question, Cao Zuo, the commander of the coastal defense force of the Great Xia Dynasty, said angrily in a deep voice. He never imagined that Japanese pirates would dare to sneak in so boldly.
"Yes, sir!"
"Wait a minute, let Fei Ge pass the message to General Ares first, and then go back to bring in reinforcements!"
As soon as Cao Zuo finished speaking, Liu Yong picked up the pen beside him and quickly wrote the battle situation on the silk, and then stuffed it into a small bamboo tube on the foot of a flying pigeon.
Then, they took up their weapons and rushed out with the remaining soldiers.
However, just as they were preparing to break out of the encirclement, a strong sense of crisis enveloped them.
They turned to look behind them and found that the beach behind them was filled with Japanese pirates, densely packed with thousands of them!
They all held swords and stared at them with hateful eyes.
"Kill! Kill! Kill all these big summer dogs!"
While Liu Yong and Cao Zuo were still stunned, the Japanese bandits had already rushed over.
"Kill, kill!"
Seeing the Japanese pirates rushing towards them, Liu Yong, Cao Zuo and the other soldiers also raised their weapons and faced them.
In an instant, the sound of fighting was deafening, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering.
While Liu Yong and Cao Zuo were fighting hard to kill the Japanese bandits, Taro Inoshita, the Japanese bandit's coach, had already led a group of elites over.
And next to Taro Inoshita stood the nephew of the current prime minister, Zhao Xiao!
Taro Inoshita proudly looked at the bloody beach and said proudly:
"Gentlemen! This time we, the Japanese country, must drive away these damn Daxia dogs and kill them all!"
"Hiyi!"
Upon hearing Taro Inoshita's order, the elite Japanese pirates agreed in unison and then joined the battle.
When Cao Zuo saw Zhao Xiao's flattering face, he understood everything immediately.
He knew that he would definitely die this time, so he handed the jade pendant he carried with him to Liu Yong and said in a deep voice:
"I'll help you break out of the siege. Go to Jiuzhou Town to find General Ares. Be sure to tell him that Zhao Xiao colluded with the Japanese bandits and rebelled!"
After saying that, Cao Zuo whistled, and a black horse suddenly rushed in and stopped in front of Cao Zuo.
Liu Yong took the jade pendant in Cao's left hand, nodded solemnly, then got on his horse and ran away.
"kill!"
Just as Liu Yong was fleeing on horseback, the Japanese pirates' offensive became more and more fierce, and they gradually suppressed the attacks of Cao Zuo and others.
Seeing that Daxia's army was about to be unable to withstand it, Cao Zuo knew that the end had come and he couldn't help shouting:
"You won't lose if you kill one, but you will gain blood if you kill two. Brothers, let's fight!"
"Fight!"
Hearing Cao Zuo's words, the soldiers all cheered loudly, their eyes turned red, and they all risked their lives to attack the Japanese pirates' defense line.
However, the number of Japanese pirates was too great. Even if they risked their lives, they could not be killed. In the end, they were forced to retreat steadily until they were submerged in the waves of Japanese pirates.
Cao Zuo was killed in battle!
All Cao Zuo’s soldiers also died!
Only Liu Yong rode Cao Zuo's black horse to break through the siege of the Japanese bandits and rushed towards Jiuzhou Town!
Hangover Lin Xiao slept until noon the next day before getting up.
When he opened the door, he saw Li Yuyan walking into Bai Zhancheng's tent with a solemn expression.
"When did these two people become so close? They can both enter and leave the general's tent freely."
Lin Xiao was puzzled, but did not go up to ask anything.
She felt that if these two people really had a crush on each other, she would support it with both hands and feet.
Thinking about it this way, she sat at the dining table and leisurely ate the brunch prepared for her by Lan Lian.
Have you ever heard of the art of overpowering?
It is said that in the last century, such a thing happened.
There was a very wealthy man who wanted to renovate his ancestral house and specially invited a famous local carpenter.
The old carpenter took his apprentice, the young carpenter, to the rich man's house to repair the beams of his house.
The rich man was an extremely stingy person. When he saw his wife preparing good wine and food for the old carpenter and the young carpenter, he got mad and said that he didn't care what other people's families were like. The rule in his family was that the carpenter should prepare his own dry food.
, check out and leave after finishing the work, and you are never allowed to prepare anything specially for them.
The old carpenter had lived for a long time and was not surprised by this kind of thing, but the young carpenter was not. He was young and energetic. When he was building a beam in the rich man's house, he secretly pressed a bad luck charm on one side of the beam.
