Chapter 360 The old man will be strong and spring again
Wang Junkuo's family confiscated many concubines and slaves, and the emperor only needed one Pipa girl.
Wu Huaiyu smiled and asked Ma Zhou to pick some and take them home. Ma Zhou refused, but the eldest sister smiled and said she would pick a few.
"Don't always refuse. If you don't accept a concubine, others will say I'm jealous. I'm not Mrs. Lu."
The Mrs. Lu that Yu'e is talking about is Fang Xuanling's wife, Mrs. Lu, a ruthless person who blinded one of her eyes because she refused to remarry when she was young.
Not long after her wedding, her husband became critically ill and refused to agree to remarry, which blinded her in one eye. Therefore, over the years, she did not allow Fang Xuanling to take concubines. She also controlled the maids in the house very strictly and would never let Fang Xuanling
bump.
It's very similar to the feeling of Dugu Jialuo, the empress of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.
I remember that when Yang Jian married the daughter of General Dugu Xin of the Zhu Kingdom, he vowed to be monogamous for the rest of his life. But later when he became the emperor, it was of course impossible for him to stay with only one woman, especially when Queen Dugu was getting older.
back.
Yang Jian once secretly favored Yuchi because of his beauty. As a result, when he went to court, Dugu Jialu killed Yuchi with a stick. When he came back, Yang Jian only saw a bloody corpse. He was so angry that he got on his horse and ran out in one breath.
After dozens of miles, Yang Su and some other ministers chased him wildly.
Yang Jian felt miserable in his heart. He didn't dare to look for the queen after Yuchi was killed, so he could only run dozens of miles at a stretch and cry silently in the wilderness.
Lu is no worse than Dugu Jialuo in this respect.
Dugu Jialuo is capable and has a high family background. Her father, Dugu Xinna, is one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms, and her mother is from the Cui family of Qinghe. Yang Jian can become the emperor thanks to the support of the Dugu family, just like Yang Jian's prime minister Gao Ying, who used to be
A retainer of the Dugu family.
The Lu family is also of great origin, Fan Yang Lu family.
Fang Xuanling was actually still young, so of course she wanted to take a concubine, but the conditions did not allow it. Emperor Li Shimin knew the hardship of the old man, so he specially rewarded Fang Xuanling with a beauty.
In order to dispel his worries, he sent a messenger to the Fang family to tell Lu that this was a reward from the emperor to Fang Xuanling and that Lu must accept it. If she didn't accept it, she would give her a glass of poisonous wine.
As a result, Mr. Lu was very stubborn and drank the pot of poisonous wine without saying a word.
But not dead.
It is impossible for the emperor to give a pot of poisonous wine because of this matter. The pot was actually filled with a pot of vinegar.
Mrs. Lu drank a pot of vinegar and refused to let her husband accept this beauty.
So Li Shimin had no choice but to think that Lu was really drunk.
Fang Xuanling was even more helpless. She originally thought that the emperor would take action, and now she would be sexually blessed. Unexpectedly, Xiao Huo Miao was pinched directly.
Lu was jealous, so it became a popular meme throughout Chang'an. Of course, some people said that Lu was powerful, while others thought that Lu was too strong and said that he was jealous.
Some people think that Ma Zhou did not take concubines. Some people think this is because Ma Zhou came from a humble background and relied on the help of his second wife, the Wu family. It must have been the Wu family that did not allow him to take concubines.
Wu Yu'e is now increasingly likely to become the second in the Lu family.
Yu'e actually felt aggrieved. After all, her natal brother now had a distinguished status and there were many rumors. She didn't want others to talk about Ma Zhou like this, let alone be misunderstood like this.
When Ma Zhou saw his wife saying this, he couldn't refuse now, otherwise it would damage his wife's reputation.
"Then I want one."
"If one is not enough, pick a few more."
Ma Zhou asked his eldest sister to pick, but he didn't care.
The eldest sister was very satisfied with this answer. She had to choose an honest and reliable concubine for her husband, otherwise the family would be in trouble.
In the end, the eldest sister picked four, all of whom were fifteen or sixteen years old. They were young, honest, and of course very beautiful.
It can be seen that Ma Zhou is actually quite satisfied.
Huaiyu returned to Yongxingfang.
Lao Wu unexpectedly approached Huaiyu, chatted for a long time, and finally said that he also wanted a few.
"Aye, you are not young, you should pay attention to your health."
I remember when he brought Runniang back to Longqiao, he got up late in the morning, and Lao Wu reminded him to be moderate in the morning. But now Lao Wu feels that the second spring is coming, and he goes to work at Qujiang Shenji Workshop every day, and he still has energy when he comes back.
Taking concubines one after another.
At first, he had to spend 500 yuan to redeem a girl in Pingkangfang Building. But after she was redeemed, because the Wu Liu family was strict with her, Lao Wu had no chance to be with her. After a while, Lao Wu
He actually liked the new and disliked the old, and started taking concubines again.
Mrs. Wu Liu is now used to it. If Lao Wu wants to take a concubine, then she can accept it, but she must take the concubine back, and she has to take care of it. At home, where Lao Wu stays at night, and who will accompany him, all have to be arranged by Mrs. Wu Liu.
And he is absolutely not allowed to live outside the house, let alone go to the brothel.
In the words of Mrs. Wu Liu, the Wu family now has no shortage of people who can stutter, and many of them are just doing the chores of having a pair of chopsticks, having a baby, spreading branches and leaves of the Wu family, and adding more helpers to Huaiyu and his brothers.
Mrs. Wu Liu of Yi Kingdom is so open-minded now.
Lao Wu laughed twice, feeling a little guilty.
His life is quite comfortable now, but also a bit empty. The work of Shenjifang is actually very leisurely. As the chief officer, he doesn't actually have to worry about anything. The prime minister and other subordinates below are all in good order. His son has a distinguished status, so he
He also has a transcendent status in Shenjifang.
Going to work every day is actually just going through the motions. People just can’t sit still. Wu Zizi used to live in Sanyuan and farmed at home when not on duty. But it’s different now. Yi Guogong’s father’s family is also rich and powerful, and he himself
There is also a job where people are always around to compliment me every day, and my mentality is easy to change. I often go to drink wine and socialize with my colleagues. I feel much younger and my legs don’t feel lame.
Especially many women will take the initiative to pounce on him, and many people will find ways to give Lao Wu women.
Lao Wu came from a humble background and had lived a hard life for most of his life. Suddenly, he really got into it and even enjoyed it very much.
"Okay, I'll bring two to Aye later."
Wu Huaiyu thought for a while and felt that the old man's current situation was not too outrageous. In fact, among the rich and nobles, Lao Wu was only in his early sixties, and his background as a soldier was relatively strong. A slight lameness in one leg would not affect anything.
If you want to take a concubine, take it, and if you want to have a child, take it.
At this age, do you still expect him to become a saint?
After working hard all your life, it doesn’t matter if you indulge and enjoy yourself when you are old.
The Supreme Emperor Li Yuan was trapped in the harem after his throne was usurped by palace eunuchs, and he still gave birth to children one after another.
In just over a year, he gave birth to more babies than he had given birth to in the previous sixty years.
That leaves only the joy of having a baby, and you can’t take away this too.
Compare this to Samurai Rei, who is over seventy years old, and now has several concubines a year and has several children, which is more than he can have with his dozens of sons.
Get older and get stronger.
night.
In Wu Huai's courtyard, the wives and concubines ate together.
As long as he is at home, they always eat together. Although the meal system is still divided, with a small table for each person and each person's meal is separate, it is quite a family atmosphere to eat together and we can chat.
Usually when Huaiyu is not at home, the wives and concubines of each house eat in their own courtyards. There are even small kitchens in each house's courtyard. If you want to eat something else, you can make it yourself.
Seeing one wife, four concubines and seven concubines gathered together in the same room, Huaiyu was quite happy. The family atmosphere was good. Anyway, when he was here, there was never any jealousy or intrigue. Of course, it could not be ruled out that it happened behind his back.
But it’s good to be able to maintain the harmony on the surface.
"Are we moving to Xuanyangfang?"
Huaiyu thought for a while, "I plan to move there after the new year."
"What about Aye, Aniang, brother and sister-in-law?"
"I just asked Aye Aniang and the others. They said they are quite used to living here and the place is quite big. They don't want to move."
In fact, Lao Wu and the others were considering that their eldest son, Huaiyi, and his wife would now live with Huaiyu. They found it inconvenient, mainly because Huaiyi was the eldest son, but they lived in Huaiyu's Duke Yiguo's mansion.
Especially the elder sister-in-law, Mrs. Cheng, who comes from a well-known family, but she gave birth to a daughter this year, so she is even more in a bad mood.
She once mentioned that she wanted to live out.
She and her eldest brother Huaiyi were not short of money to buy a house.
So Huaiyu's current idea is that he will move to Xuanyangfang, leaving his eldest brother and sister-in-law to live with their parents and younger brothers and sisters. Of course, this is not a family separation.
In the Tang Dynasty, when parents were alive, brothers had no reason to separate their families, and the law did not allow it.
Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't live apart without separating your homes.
Anyway, in fact, the Wu family didn't have any family property before, so each of them basically managed their own property before. Lao Wu's salary was shared by the public, and the lumi of the Huaiyi brothers was shared by the public. As for the other things, they were managed by themselves and could not be paid.
Give some to the family and let them do as they wish.
Now Huaiyu has moved to Xuanyangfang with his wife, concubines and children, leaving Huaiyi and Lao Wu here, which will make the big house more comfortable.
Fan Xuanfu actually gets along well with his sister-in-law, Mrs. Cheng. After all, there is no conflict of interest. They are both women from well-known families, and they still do well in their superficial skills.
But she agrees with living separately.
From now on, Yongxingfang was changed to Daling County Zifu, and the plaque of Yi Guogongfu was hung on Xuanyangfang.
Today's dinner was good. Although it was cooked in the public kitchen, since Huaiyu was at home, the food had to be of a higher quality, including hand-made mutton, steamed fish, and fresh vegetables from the greenhouse.
After the meal, tea was served and the family continued to chat about home affairs.
In fact, having more wives and concubines is not all a benefit, that is, there are so many women around, and you can't focus on one and ignore the other, so you will get tired.
Especially when the tea was over, all the women looked at Huaiyu with ardent eyes and looked forward to it, which made people feel extremely stressed.
Fan Wuniang and Gao Yanzhi finally got pregnant, and now they are beaming all day long.
There are six pregnant women in the family, and five are raising children.
But they all still want Huaiyu to go to their own room at night.
After all, even if they are divided equally, one person can only get two nights at most per month. Huaiyu has been away from Beijing for almost a year, and the women in the family have not had the opportunity to be with Huaiyu for a long time.
"Erlang, please stay with Yuanbao tonight."
Fan Xuanfu took the initiative and invited Huaiyu to come over in the evening. Seeing this, the other concubines had to stop and did not dare to compete with the eldest lady.
Fan's delivery has also been over 100 days early. Today she wants to express herself well, strengthen the relationship between husband and wife, and strive for another child.
