The fifth lady looked at Liu Meizhuang with eyes full of eyes. It turned out that Brother Zixu already had a wife, but he didn't even want to take a concubine. Such a man only regretted meeting him too late. Listening to the meaning of Liu Meizhuang's words,
Although she wasn't very smart, she still picked up on the clues.
"Third sister-in-law, do you also know Brother Zixu?"
Liu Meizhuang felt that she was doing something evil now, provoking an infatuated woman for no reason, but the words had already been spoken, so she could only bite the bullet and dig in. She took out a handkerchief and wiped it.
The fifth lady's tears were such a sin! "How could I not know my husband's friend? In my spare time, I have often heard my husband mention him. He said that Wu Zixu was a talented person with an open mind and outstanding literary talent. He was a rare talent in our country."
Listening to Liu Meizhuang's words, the corners of Gu San Gong's lips visibly raised. If he hadn't taken into account that Fifth Miss was in a sad mood and was in a lovelorn state, he might have laughed out loud. How could anyone boast so much? And he said it so naturally.
The Fifth Miss became more and more uncomfortable as she listened. Liu Meizhuang looked away. She really didn't dare to look at the Fifth Miss. She would also feel guilty! She glanced at Mr. Gu San next to him and caught the fleeting look in his eyes.
’s smile. Come on, she also knew that what she said was true. But after all, it was the fifth young lady’s first love, so she had better leave a good impression on her. If the memory of her first love was too bad, the fifth young lady would find a good girl in the future.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to choose. However, what needs to be broken must be broken. If she hadn't mentioned Wu Zixu's refusal to take concubines when she just said it, she would really be afraid that the fifth lady would be like Liu Yan, unwilling to give up.
"Yes, that kind of person." Miss Fifth's mood eased a little. Who wouldn't want a man like that? Is there any man in the world who doesn't want to have three wives and four concubines? I'm afraid he is the only one in the world who is Brother Zixu.
"I'm really bothering the third brother and the third sister-in-law." After the fifth lady finished speaking, she stepped back. She had a lot of classes every day, all of which were specially arranged by Aunt Luo. It was already very unusual for her to be able to sneak in some free time at this time.
It's easier.
Liu Meizhuang watched the Fifth Miss leave, and then followed Mr. Gu into the carriage. She felt that she should not dress up as a man and appear in front of the Fifth Miss in the future, so as not to miss her again. Sitting in the carriage, Liu Meizhuang
He opened the curtain and let the wind blow. He held his chin up with a handkerchief with one hand and looked at the lively market in Jiangnan and some burning snacks in boredom. He completely forgot that there was another person in the carriage.
Third Young Master Gu glanced at Liu Meizhuang's side face and put the book in her hand aside. Every time Third Young Master Gu went out, she must always have books ready. She lowered the curtain with her big hand. Didn't she notice that there were many people there?
Are everyone looking at her?
Liu Meizhuang could no longer see the scenery outside. She was about to open the curtain again, but was grabbed by Mr. Gu. Liu Meizhuang then turned around and looked at Mr. Gu in confusion. "Husband, what's wrong?"
"Have you not noticed, madam, that you are too eye-catching?" Mr. Gu took her hand and put it down, with a bit of sullenness in his eyes.
Looking at Mr. Gu's expression, could she understand that Mr. Gu was jealous? His black and white eyes looked at Mr. Gu's face, as if trying to see a flower on it, so focused.
She saw it clearly, but Mr. Gu was embarrassed. He coughed a few times, then picked up the book on the side and read it again, but she had completely lost her mind. Liu Meizhuang was put down by Mr. Gu.
After coming down, I was naturally embarrassed to open it again, so I had to sit in the carriage and look at the dark red and black patterns.
"Is what the lady just said true?" Mr. Gu San suddenly spoke out while burying his head in the book.
"What did you say, husband?" Liu Meizhuang was a little confused. What did she say just now? She seemed to have not spoken since getting on the carriage. What happened to Mr. Gu today? Why does he feel a little strange? Could it be that he has a convulsion? Of course
, she never dared to say this casually in her heart.
"Being a husband refers to the conversation between the lady and the fifth sister just now. The lady said that Zixu does not take concubines. Can being a husband be understood as being a couple for life?" How could Mr. Gu not understand the meaning of these words? If he didn't
If you understand it wrongly, you will have two people for life. This idea is simply shocking in Jiangnan. In Jiangnan, even ordinary people have one wife and multiple concubines if they have the conditions. But in wealthy families, three wives and four concubines are already common.
Not a small number. This has become an ironclad fact. Liu Meizhuang's statement undoubtedly overturns the theory of three wives and four concubines.
"Husband, why are you confused? Wu Zixu is the pseudonym I casually made nonsense of at that time. In fact, in the final analysis, I have always been a girl. Since I am a girl, I can only marry one person in this life. This person can be married to other people besides my husband.
Who is it? Moreover, I also want to give up the idea of Fifth Sister. If I didn't say that, how could Fifth Sister easily give up on Wu Zixu, a non-existent person?"
Liu Meizhuang smiled, but she was careful. If you want to find faults, you are undoubtedly looking for fish bones in the rocks, which is impossible. She knows deeply how unrealistic it is to be together for the rest of your life. So she simply stands on the identity of a woman.
It is said that a woman marries a man for a lifetime. Unless she has done something inappropriate, her husband's family cannot divorce her. Wu Zixu is a woman, how could she take a concubine? Unless there are two husbands. Of course, this is even more important
It's not ethical. Liu Meizhuang looked at Young Master Gu with an extremely obedient look. But she was always unhappy in her heart. Young Master Gu always dug into places where he shouldn't. This is exactly the same as her mother-in-law. It's really a dragon that makes a dragon.
, phoenix begets phoenix, the mouse's son can dig holes.
"Really?" Mr. Gu San looked at Liu Meizhuang. Did he really understand it wrong just now? But she did not answer her question directly. She just went around in circles. She only said that Wu Zixu was a woman, but if she stood on
How about coming and talking about things as a man?
"Of course it's true."
Liu Meizhuang smiled and stretched out her hand to lift the curtain. So what if it was true? What if it was fake? From the moment she married into the Gu family, this could only become a dream. Two people for the rest of her life? Unless she was from a poor family, she would not marry anyone at all.
Not a concubine. Mother and father have been together for decades, but they are still unable to violate the rules. Looking at the sky, Liu Meizhuang, do you really want to live like this for the rest of your life? Fighting with a group of women for a common cucumber,
Is this really the life you want?
"By the way, husband, how long does it take to get to the west of the city?" Liu Meizhuang came back to her senses, looked at Mr. Gu and asked.
"Soon." Young Master Gu looked at Liu Meizhuang's eagerness to change the subject. He pretended that he had not seen her and just replied with a smile.
