Gao Hui'an and Gao Yanzhi each brought a small bowl of beef stew with potatoes. They almost shed tears as they ate. They hadn't eaten such a good meal for a long time. The last time they ate beef was when their father was still king.
I didn't enter the palace and worked as a sweeper in the Yeting. Life was very hard. I barely had enough food and food to eat. I didn't even dare to speak loudly on weekdays.
"Sister, eat quickly."
Gao Rouge saw Gao Hui'an holding a bowl with red eyes, and comforted her. The two women were of similar origins, both from Hebei, and even from the Bohai Gao family. Now that they came to the Wu family together, they quickly became sisters.
Gao Hui'an was both happy and a little disappointed. He secretly looked at Wu Huaiyu in the distance. Seeing how close he was to the daughter of the Duke of Rongguo, he even felt a little jealous.
Last night, she almost stayed up all night, curled up in a corner of the couch, nervous and looking forward to it, but in the end she stayed up until almost dawn and didn't wait for his move.
Even the white scarf Wu Liu gave her could only be returned as it was in the morning. Wu Liu was so angry that she scolded her, thinking she was unwilling.
She felt aggrieved.
She was really scared at first, and even resisted a little in her heart, but in the end he did nothing, just slept there all night, and left without disturbing her even at dawn, which made her feel disappointed and even aggrieved.
Does she disgust him just like that?
"My sister is serving Erlang tonight. You must seize the opportunity and take the initiative." Thinking of his insomnia last night, Gao Hui'an taught Gao Yanzhi.
Gao Yanzhi blushed, how could he take the initiative in this matter?
"Look at the daughter of Duke Rongguo, isn't she also so proactive? There is also Runniang. She was adopted as the adopted granddaughter by Lady Yongkang, and she also brought a dowry. Don't you think she is also the same?
If you have the chance, come to Alang’s side.”
She didn't sleep last night. She thought about it for a long time and figured out a lot.
After leaving the palace, their life was completely different. From then on, they became completely attached to the Wu family. They were not young anymore. In the 20s, many women had three or four children.
They have lost their natal family and their youth. They were given to the Wu family at the age of twenty, and the only one they can rely on in the future is Wu Erlang.
But Wu Huaiyu was so young, and there was even a daughter who was the legitimate eldest daughter of Duke Rongguo and a righteous granddaughter of Duke Yongkang. They were all younger and even more beautiful.
"Sister, if we don't take the initiative, we may have to become slaves and maids of the Wu family in the future. We can only continue to do the laundry and sweep like we did in the palace before. In the future, when we get older, we may have to give birth to slaves. Are you willing?
What?"
Gao Yanzhi shook his head.
"Then let's fight for it. We must at least be concubines and give birth to one or two children while we are young. Even if we get old and lose our lust in the future, at least we will have someone to rely on."
Gao Hui'an missed a good opportunity, and she didn't know if she would have another chance, but she sincerely hoped that this poor little sister would not miss the good opportunity tonight.
Here, they can only hug each other for warmth.
"Sister, did you really... last night?"
Gao Huian lowered his head sadly.
"Then what if Alang ignores me tonight?"
"Think of a way and be proactive. Erlang is so young and full of energy. If you take the initiative to get involved, he can't remain indifferent, right?" Gao Hui'an felt that he was just ignorant last night and might have annoyed Erlang.
Gao Yanzhi was holding the bowl. She suddenly lost her appetite and mood. Her mind was filled with those things. She had not experienced any human affairs yet, and she was even confused and didn't know what to do.
Panic, extremely panic.
He glanced at Wu Erlang over there, and became even more panicked, his face turned red with embarrassment.
Chen Runniang stood beside Wu Liu and waited on her, absentmindedly.
Yesterday Huaiyu brought back two palace ladies, and today he brought back a daughter of the Duke of Rongguo. Chen Runniang was so distraught that she didn't sleep well last night either.
······
"Those two old women..." Sixteen-year-old Fan Xuanfu seemed to dislike the two palace ladies given to Huaiyu by the prince, and he called them old women as soon as he opened his mouth.
"They are only twenty."
"Twenty, aren't you still old?" Fan Xuanfu's red and phoenix eyes immediately became a little murderous. Huaiyu liked her eyes very much, but sometimes they always felt full of murderous aura.
Just like now, with one glance, murderous intent abounds.
"I'm not old at twenty."
Twenty, that’s when the peach is ripening. In future generations, those are young female college students, innocent school girls.
Hey, college life is great, I miss it.
"A woman gets married when she is thirteen or fourteen years old, and gives birth to a child when she is fifteen or sixteen. If she is released to the common people at the age of twenty and is not yet married, the government will force her to get married. If the marriage fails, she will be fined at this age."
Fan Xuanfu is sixteen this year. This is all because Kefu's reputation has been delayed. Otherwise, how could a noble daughter of a noble family be still unmarried at the age of sixteen?
"Do you like them?"
"Which room did you sleep in last night?"
"Or will two of you serve you?"
Fan Xuanfu's jealousy jar suddenly overturned, and he became sour.
Huaiyu even felt a little overwhelmed. When we were in Longyou, we were so close to each other, and there really were no such troubles.
"I slept in the main room last night." Huaiyu felt a little guilty.
Fan Xuanfu narrowed his phoenix eyes and squinted at him.
"I admit, Da Gao was in my room last night, but I didn't do anything. I went to bed early and left early in the morning."
"You don't need to explain this to me. It's normal for a man to have concubines and maids. I, Aye, Yingying, Yanyan, have a lot of concubines to serve me."
She said it was normal, but she stood up.
"It's getting dark soon. Thank you for your hospitality. I'm going back home."
"Hey, the kebabs will be ready soon."
"You guys eat."
Huaiyu quickly stood up and said, "I'll pack some skewers for you and take you back."
"My home is right across the street, so there's no need to send it away."
"I have something else to tell you."
Huaiyu didn't panic when faced with his jealous girlfriend. It's not unusual for virgin girlfriends to have to experience this in future generations.
If a girl is jealous, she still shows love to you.
At this time, all you need to do is follow it like a donkey, just coax it more.
After saying hello to everyone, Huaiyu sent her back.
"You look cute when you're angry."
"Are you making me angry with your story?"
"It's so cute."
······
"I don't know when General Fan will return to court in triumph. I can't wait to propose marriage."
At the door of Fan's house, Huaiyu sent the person to him, but he refused to leave. Fan Xuanfu came out and was blown by the wind. He seemed to feel that he had just made a small fuss.
She also knew that the palace servants were given by the prince, and it was normal for men with status and ability to take concubines. It was abnormal for men with status not to take concubines, but she still couldn't hold back the anger in her heart.
"I apologize to you." Fan Xuanfu lowered his head.
Seeing her huge transformation, Huaiyu was also surprised, always feeling that she couldn't do such a thing.
"I'm the one apologizing to you. I should have reported it to you first."
"You are deliberately humiliating me. Why are you reporting this kind of thing to me? This is a reward from the prince, and you are not buying a concubine. Besides, we are neither engaged nor married, so you can't report it to me now."
, she actually cried.
"Don't do this, it makes me feel bad." Huaiyu did not care about the servants of Fan Mansion who had been hiding away eating melons and watching the fun, and pulled Fan Xuanfu into his arms domineeringly.
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, wiping away her tears.
No matter how strong a woman is, she will be confused when she falls in love, especially for the first time, when she is more likely to get hot-headed.
This is caused by the secretion of hormones, which can affect people's sanity.
It cannot be easily controlled.
"I miss Longyou so much. I wish we were still in Yanjing Village." Fan Xuanfu struggled for a few times, but without pushing him away, he simply hugged Huaiyu and lay on his chest. He was so bold and wanton.
He doesn't care about others.
"Gong Yi Guo has a twenty-acre pear orchard next to the Qinglong Temple in Xinchangfang. He gave it to me before. There is also a small courtyard there, but it is a bit crude. How about we repair it so that we can get along there in the future without anyone disturbing us.
"
Knowing that Huaiyu now often travels between Qujiang and Beimen, Fan Xuanfu thought for a while and said: "My family also has a garden in Qujiang, and there is a farm nearby..."
"Anywhere will do,"
After hugging him to comfort him, Fan Xuanfu finally stopped being angry.
"Okay, you should go back too. You have many guests, so don't lose your etiquette." Fan Xuanfu had a good impression of friends like Cheng Chumo Niujian Wu Ma Zhou Wu Junya and thought they were worth keeping company with.
"Then you should have a good rest, you are tired in Longyou."
"You should go to bed early," Fan Xuanfu raised his long eyebrows, "You have three women in the courtyard now, and I can't help you. It's like putting three fish next to a civet cat. The civet cat can't help but steal fish. I
I just have a request,"
"They are not allowed to have children before I get married. I want my children to be legitimate eldest children."
Fan Xuanfu's domineering request.
This requirement is really not easy. Of course, as a modern person, it is not difficult to fulfill this requirement. There is no need to drink medicine to avoid illness. Just count the days. It is not possible. In fact, in this era, there are also specially made sheep intestines.
.
Of course, you can just be patient.
"Then I will pick you up tomorrow afternoon to visit Supervisor Zhang?"
"good."
Zhang Anan had a special status with the prince, and Fan Xuanfu was willing to take his lover to meet the grandpa and help him build relationships.
After returning, Mrs. Wu Liu called Huaiyu over and asked what was going on.
"She was just a little tired, so she went back to rest."
Mrs. Wu Liu sighed and said with some worry: "I know that this daughter of a distinguished family is not that simple. I am afraid that she will not be easy to get along with when she gets married in the future."
"Will not."
"My mother doesn't object to your affairs, but is her family really willing?"
"Don't worry, Duke Rong Guo will definitely agree."
Wu Liu held her son's hand and sighed several times, and finally arranged for Huaiyu to let Gao Rouge go over in the evening, "Mother won't tell you what happened last night. If you do this again tonight, mother will be angry."
.
Now you are also a founding county man and an aristocratic official who bestowed Feiyin, so you must hurry up and spread your branches..." The old lady kept thinking about it, and finally she called Gao Yanzhi directly to her and ordered her to do it in front of her.
Death order, we must have a bridal chamber tonight!
