Huaiyu talked and painted at the same time, talking about Guangzhou, talking about the Haiyang Road, and talking about the Maritime Silk Road.
But the women of the Wu family actually pay more attention to the Pearl River and the South China Sea. They have not seen the sea yet, and they have only heard about the blue sea.
They don't really care about the Maritime Silk Road trade. The most prosperous place on the Silk Road is Chang'an. It's not surprising that there are more Hu merchants from the Western Regions in the Western Market.
Huaiyu had spent the New Year in Luhuitou, Hainan Island, and wrote to his wives and concubines about the sunshine, beaches, coconut trees, and seafood. They all remembered it.
It is always difficult to unify the concerns of men and women.
After the conversation, Wu Huaiyu lost interest and continued to talk about the transformation of Guangzhou City and the development of Guangzhou Port's maritime trade. Women like to talk about beautiful dresses, jewelry, various cosmetics, etc.
"Alang, it's time to turn over the cards."
Xuanfu's maid, Shuying, came up with a sandalwood tray, on which were placed a dozen green-headed cards.
These green-headed cards belong to the concubines who have not slept with them this month. Each card has their name on it, but it is turned over and kept on the plate, waiting for Mr. Wu to turn it over.
In fact, if Wu Huaiyu really wanted to be like the old patriarch and contribute more to the reproduction of the Wu family, he could first conduct a statistical survey and study the ovulation dates of the women in the family, and then make a bedtime chart based on it. This would be targeted and greatly increase the number of wives and concubines.
their chances of pregnancy.
But now Wu Huaiyu is not very willing to do this. He has more than thirty children, so there is no need to do this anymore, just let it happen.
Looking at the many exquisite green-headed cards, Huaiyu turned over one at random.
Fan Xuanfu took it, and the green head sign said Qiu Twelve Niang.
Today I turned to Qiu Derou, who was Qiu Twelve, the fifth among the nine concubines of the Wu family, and the direct daughter of Qiu Xinggong, the Duke of Tianshui County.
"Derou, it's your turn tonight."
Qiu Twelve Niang was so happy that she gave birth to a daughter for Wu Huaiyu, and she gave birth to a daughter to Feng Junhao, the eldest son of Feng Zhidai, the current governor of Gaozhou, Lingnan, and the son of Songkang County.
Although her father, Qiu Xinggong, was rugged and fierce, and could eat people's hearts and minds, this Qiu Twelfth Mother was fair-skinned and beautiful, especially with a great mind and extremely long legs. She was also born with a frame that was good for fertility, with wide hips and big hips.
, the skin is white and tender, and water seems to flow out with just a pinch.
The voice is tender,
She is also a charming fairy.
And such fairies come as a pair. Her cousin Qiu Sanniang De Shu also inherited the good genes of the Qiu family. She has long legs, white skin, a slim waist with big hips, and a charming voice.
Here De Rou turned over the sign, and over there De Shu also came over,
Yesterday Mrs. Yun read the sign, and it turned out that the wealth does not go to outsiders. She called Yun Er and Yun San together. The three sisters served one husband together, and they were three times happier.
Today, when the Qiu sisters found out, they were jealous and envious, so they agreed early on that no matter who among the sisters turned over the sign, they would also serve Alang together.
In this way, I can serve Alang one more time a month.
Fan Xuanfu saw through the two sisters' thoughts at a glance.
"I just talked about the three sisters of the Yun family this morning. Last night, when Yun Da found the sign, he dragged Yun Er and Yun San together. It was too much nonsense. He will not be allowed to be so ridiculous in the future. No matter how young Alang is, he cannot withstand such torture."
Her gaze was like a sword, piercing the two Qiu sisters, "Today the Twelfth Mother found the sign, then you must serve Alang well, and the Thirty Mother is not allowed to go."
The Qiu sisters suddenly became unhappy.
Fan Xuanfu lowered his voice and comforted the two sisters. After all, their parents' families were not simple. Tan Guogong Qiu He was over eighty years old, but he was still alive after all. The two girls' fathers, Qiu Xinggong and Qiu Xingze, were related to each other even though they were brothers.
Although they are not in harmony, they both hold the title of Duke of the county, and Qiu Xingze is still the governor of Jiaozhou.
Furthermore, Qiu Twelve’s mother was also from a well-known family, the Guo family of Taiyuan. Qiu Sansan’s mother was the Yan family of Henan. Not only were the Yan family cousins with the brothers Yan Liben and Yan Lide, they were even the niece of the mother of the former Prime Minister Du Yan, Wei Wang Li Tai
His fiancee, Yan, was Qiu Sansan's cousin.
This is what happens in famous aristocratic families, where marriages are complicated. Concubines like the Qiu sisters cannot be treated as ordinary concubines, and a lady like Fan Xuanfu must be more polite to them.
Wu Huaiyu picked on the three sisters of the Yun family last night and was indeed a little tired. He wanted to rest for the night tonight, but seeing that the Qiu sisters were not happy, Huaiyu had to say that he would rest in the Qiu Twelve Courtyard tonight.
,
As for Qiu Sansan, he definitely can't come.
Even though you are young, you still need to know how to exercise restraint.
That thing is too much.
At night, returning to Qiu Twelve's courtyard, Huaiyu first played with her sixteen-year-old daughter, and then told her stories. The little girl listened to several stories, and finally fell asleep in her mother's arms.
Already.
Derou carefully handed her daughter to the outside nanny, then returned to the bed with a smile.
It can be seen that she is very excited,
When she snuggled into Huaiyu's arms, she suddenly burst into tears, "The last time was in February last year. It's been eighteen months in a flash. Alang has been back in Beijing for a while, but I can't even bear a single blow."
." She remembered the day clearly.
Huaiyu felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.
It was quite fun to have wives and concubines, but accidentally, there were now a group of wives and concubines, and I couldn't take care of them anymore. Even if they were around, it would take a month for each turn.
What's more, he stayed in Lingnan for almost two years before returning.
Huaiyu hugged her tighter and stroked her hair gently, "I feel sorry for you. After going to Lingnan this time, things will definitely get better."
Qiu Twelve pouted aggrievedly, but his voice was softer and nicer, "Fortunately, you gave me a daughter. If I didn't know, I don't know how I would have endured this day."
Thinking about it, it was really not easy for women in the past. Not to mention concubines like Qiu Twelve, many people were monogamous. However, due to life pressures, such as joining the army, serving Yao service, etc., men would not return home for a long time, and women could only stay at home.
Waiting, the information is not flowing smoothly,
Not even a single contact,
Especially for those who go to the battlefield, they often don’t know whether they are dead or alive, and there is no news from them. What can they do except wait.
Even if you are an official, you may be away from home for several years if you go to another place.
Just like Wu Huaiyu went to Shuofang to Youyan to Lingnan. He stayed there for half a year or even a year or two. Even Fan Xuanfu, the wife of the Jin Dynasty, could only miss her husband day and night and stay alone in the empty house.
It usually takes a month or two to get a letter from home.
"Your brother Shenji is going to Lingnan with me this time, do you know?"
Huaiyu changed the subject.
"Well, he told me that it would be better to go to Lingnan and follow Alang, which would save him from getting into trouble in Chang'an. I hope Alang can help me restrain and teach him in the future,"
"Don't worry, he is his biological brother, I will definitely take good care of him,"
"Do you, Aye, also agree with Shenji to go to Lingnan?"
Qiu Xinggong was also the governor of Xiangzhou before, but he got into a fight with his brother over the burial of his mother, which caused a storm in the city. He was impeached by the imperial censor, demoted from his position, and deprived of his title. Now he has built a house to guard the tomb, and is a filial piety to his mother.
The three-year period of filial piety has not yet expired.
Speaking of his father, Qiu Twelve felt helpless and sighed, "Aye has too much time to take care of himself. In half a year, Aye's filial piety period will expire. Will Alang be able to help Aye get his official position back?"
"I'll definitely help you then."
Wu Huaiyu knew that although Qiu Xinggong was often impeached, he was once a fierce general of Li Shimin. In the Battle of Luoyang, he gave up his horse to Li Shimin and fought for Li Shimin on foot. He was almost shot into a hedgehog.
Afterwards, the emperor specially asked the painter to paint the battle. Wu Huaiyu had seen the painting. Qiu Xinggong was alone, fighting for Li Shimin on foot during the siege of the rebel army.
Qiu Xinggong and Li Shimin's mounts were shot into hedgehogs, and Li Shimin's armor was also shot with many arrows.
Breaking out of the siege forcefully,
Li Shimin's horse was also one of the six horses of Zhaoling later.
Qiu Xinggong was better than that horse and survived, but he was seriously injured and rested for a long time. That was one of the rare times in Li Shimin's military career that he almost died in battle.
This contribution is extremely great. Li Shimin has always remembered it, and may never forget it. With this contribution, he can always remember the emperor like Qin Qiong, Hou Junji, Changsun Wuji, Zhang Liang, Yuchi Gong, and Zhang Gongjin.
in the heart.
What's more, Qiu Xinggong's father, Qiu He, brought Jiaozhou back to the Tang Dynasty at the end of the Sui Dynasty, while Qiu Xinggong, Qiu Yingqi and his father were also meritorious generals in the Qin Palace of Li Shimin.
Let's wait until his filial piety period expires. The emperor will definitely retaliate against him.
"Derou, it's getting late." Huaiyu said to her with a smile,
"Are you tired, A Lang? I will help A Lang rest."
Wu Huaiyu was indeed a little tired from the battle with the three sisters last night, but the young man recovered quickly after all. He had already finished his CD. Hearing her complain about her grievances just now, Huaiyu also felt quite guilty.
He wanted to make it up to her properly.
Awei’s Eighteen Postures can be used to complete the entire set.
Although Qiu Twelve Niang had been married for several years and had given birth to a daughter, she actually didn’t have much experience. Facing the experienced Wu Huaiyu, especially since he was determined to perform well today, she was completely defeated in a short time.
,
She had greasy skin and was crimson all over. It was as if she had no bones and was almost limp into mud. In the end, she could only be at the mercy of A Lang.
Weeping and complaining,
The sound of the night watchman came,
Dong-dong, one fast and one slow, three times in a row, this is the first update at Xu Shi,
"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful about the fire!"
·······
Qiu Twelve felt like he was alive and dead, and in a trance he heard the night watchman's banging sound again.
Boom, boom, again and again, many times in a row,
This should be the second watch of Haishi.
"Close the doors and windows to prevent theft and theft!"
······
Dong-dong, one slow and two fast,
Is it the middle of the night?
"safe and sound!"
The voice of the night watchman is faintly heard,
Qiu Twelve completely surrendered. From the first watch to the third watch, he seemed to have fallen asleep several times and woke up again.
Why is Alang working so hard tonight?
"Alang, go to sleep," Qiu Twelve cried, with tears in his eyes, but a smile on his face, full and satisfied. He was particularly happy tonight.
Maybe I will never forget this night.
She will always remember this night, and she will always remember Chang'an with this night.
Soon, they will go to Guangzhou, to that seaport city near the river and the sea.
Wu Huaiyu finally panted and lay on her body, covered in fine sweat,
He fulfilled his promise in his heart and completed the full set of Ah Wei's Eighteen Postures.
