"Then what do you think we should do?" Grandma Haitang was worried.
"Since ancient times, there is no champion who has only one wife. If you look at the county town, there is no official who does not have three wives and four concubines, let alone the capital city. Not to mention the far ones, but the nearby ones are our county magistrates. He can
I have four wives. If you have many wives and concubines, you will naturally have more children." Aunt Wang only said half of the story.
"This is the only room in Datong." Grandma Haitang looked at Haitang with a sad face. The daughter-in-law here can work and take care of the family, but she can't give birth to a son, which makes people feel that something is missing.
"If other people knew that the Number One Scholar didn't even have any heirs, they would laugh out loud. How could they be able to hang out in the officialdom in the future? I think your Tian family's ancestral tombs have good feng shui. Starting from Datong, this generation will be the Number One Scholar. From now on, Datong's
Each of the sons has passed the imperial examination and been an official in the capital. That is a scholarly family from generation to generation. Your Tian family will continue to carry on the incense. I can't count on Haitang for this matter." Wang Po shook her head and sighed,
Feeling sorry again and again.
Grandma Haitang stopped talking. She was poked in a painful spot.
"You know, in the past few days, the parents of many serious girls have asked me if Datong has any intention of remarrying. Those girls are all pretty and beautiful. Haitang can't compare, mainly because of their figure.
You can give birth to babies with handles, people have said,
In the future, Datong will be the number one scholar, and being able to be the wife of the number one scholar is a blessing earned over many lifetimes. He doesn’t even need a penny in betrothal gifts, and even pays a lot of dowry for it. What are you doing for the sake of being the wife of the number one scholar?
"Aunt Wang finally got to the point.
"Is this really happening?" Granny Haitang asked passionately.
"Of course, this is just like delivering a baby, how can you make something happen out of nothing?" Aunt Wang talked for a long time, her throat was filled with smoke, and she drank a bowl of tea in one breath.
"I'm afraid Datong won't agree with this. He only cares about Haitang and has never thought about anything else..." Granny Haitang expressed her worries.
"Datong is the number one scholar, but you are the mother of the number one scholar. The number one scholar must listen to the mother of the number one scholar. It is not his turn to make the decision on this matter of marriage. Otherwise, it would be unfilial. I don't think Datong is an unfaithful and unfilial person. Moreover,
Even if Datong
He is a scholar who has such a thin skin and is too embarrassed to say it out. You, a mother-in-law, have to think about your own son. Who doesn’t want to have more leaders to spread the word?” Aunt Wang’s skill in inciting people.
Quite a progress.
"Okay, then please help me keep an eye on which girl can give birth to a good boy. When Datong wins the first prize and comes back, I will tell him." Granny Haitang finally gave in.
"One is not enough, at least two are needed. It saves trouble when you come in at once. I will give you more to choose from. The best girls from these eight villages will be left to us in Datong." Granny Wang said. Granny Haitang thanked her repeatedly.
Send Aunt Wang away.
When Aunt Wang left, she glanced at Bai Haitang, who was busy dyeing cloth: Humph, you damn girl, go against me, you will have a hard time ahead!
I thought no one could hear the conversation between Aunt Wang and Granny Haitang, but it was all heard by Tian Niu who was coaxing Tian Tian.
Tian Niu naturally hopes that the Tian family will have children, but she doesn't believe that Sister Haitang can't give birth to a son, and she doesn't believe that Brother Datong will agree to get married again. Brother Datong only sees Sister Haitang.
Ever since Tian Niu was promised to Yuan Wang last time, Tian Niu has become particularly wary of Aunt Wang. She always feels that something bad will happen to her when she comes to Tian's house.
