"As for the title..." Li Mu thought for a long time, and suddenly a word came into his head: "How about calling me concubine?"
The girls looked at him blankly, and Wang Ou whispered: "Lang, what do you mean by concubine?"
This can't be difficult for Li Mu, because he has studied it in his previous life.
As an orphan in his previous life, Li Mu was almost always ostracized when he was growing up. His character was a bit aloof. If you don't play with me, I won't follow you and rush to beg you. There's not much I can do alone.
Many, reading is one kind.
Because he had no money and couldn't afford books, he never picked out books. As long as they had words, he read them, so he read a lot of miscellaneous books. Yuan Tiangang was the son of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and he was the one who read the book.
I saw it while reading some miscellaneous books.
Regarding the origin of his concubine, Li Mu also read about it in miscellaneous books.
At first glance, the title "wife" sounds like a modern invention. But it is not. Tracing its history back to the Zhou Dynasty, it is said that the mother of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty was named Tai Chi, the grandmother of King Wen was named Tai Jiang, and the wife of King Wen was named Tai Si.
.These three women are all sages. Look at the children they taught. Duke Zhou, King Wen, and King Wu are all sages. My wife’s wife refers to the three female sages.
In the Han Dynasty, the older generation of royal ladies, who were one generation older than the empress dowager, were called empress dowagers. The title of concubine was gradually popularized among aristocratic women in the Han Dynasty. However, after the fall of the Han Dynasty
, the nomadic people suffered from cholera in the Central Plains, and after the great integration of the ethnic groups, ethics and ethics collapsed again, and the title of wife was discontinued for a time. By the Tang Dynasty, it had become a symbol in the pile of old papers.
After Li Mu finished telling the story of his wife, he added: "I hope my women can be like sisters. She is my wife, so everyone under her is called concubine." Li Mu pointed at Panda, who was sleeping soundly in Wang Ou's arms.
, said: "He is my son. He calls my wife mother. My wife's sisters are naturally aunts. That's how this aunt came to be. Do you understand?"
Li Zhien and Wang Ou both nodded. It was just a title, and they would not care about it.
Li Mu pointed at Li Zhien and said: "Zhien comes in first, and from now on she will be the second concubine, and Ou will be the third concubine. The concubine's status in our Zhuluhou Mansion is equivalent to that of a concubine. You must treat your wife like a concubine.
Respect her like you treat me. If you don't respect your wife, you don't respect me. I will be very angry. Remember?"
The two girls nodded at the same time and looked at Bai Qiaoqiao. Wang Ou stopped putting on airs and made a blessing ceremony, saying: "I have met Madam. I have offended you before. I hope Madam will forgive you."
Already."
"This..." Bai Qiaoqiao felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Wang Ou lowering his body like this. Regardless of their status, even at this age, they are twelve years apart. If Bai Qiaoqiao's mother was still alive,
, which is only three or four years older than Wang Ou, so they are completely two generations apart.
"Madam, you are my wife, you can bear this gift, so act like a wife and don't show any cowardice."
"But, husband." Bai Qiaoqiao was confused. She sighed, helped Wang Ou up, and said, "I won't mention the past things. You can serve your husband well and he will be happy."
"I understand." Wang Ou responded and took off his airs in front of Bai Qiaoqiao, the 'major wife'. Although he felt a little strange in his heart, unexpectedly, it was not as hard to accept as he imagined. Instead, he solved the problem that had always been there.
The things that were on my mind removed a huge burden from my mind, and I felt very relaxed.
Li Zhien was still a little unwilling in her heart, but at this point, she knew that she couldn't change anything, so she had to bury this unwillingness in her heart. However, when things got to this point, it was not without any benefit to her. At least her identity was confirmed.
The second concubine, just below the madam, can be regarded as having her heart in her stomach.
"Husband, God loves my sister over there"
"Hey, I'm upset. Don't pay attention to her." Li Mu said angrily: "Look at how she looks like a woman, and she always resorts to violence! You even set me up with her, do you think I'm that resistant to beatings?"
"Husband, Sister Tianai is not what you think."
"Forget it, I have to stay away from her before I can practice magic." Li Mu grabbed Bai Qiaoqiao's hand and said, "I won't say anything today. It's getting late. Let's go back.
Rest at home. He took the baby son from Wang Ou and put it on his head. He held Bai Qiaoqiao with one hand and supported Panda on the head with the other, saying: "Let's go home! The store will open tomorrow.
, rest early today.”
Suddenly Li Mu looked back at Wang Ou and said, "Ou, the store will open tomorrow, so come here early."
Wang Ou smiled, nodded and said, "I understand."
"good."
Li Mu held Bai Qiaoqiao's hand and walked in front. Li Zhien and Wang Ou walked side by side, and the four of them came downstairs together. Wang Ou's house was nearby. He watched Li Mu's carriage leave at the door and then went back on his own.
Back at the house, Bai Qiaoqiao went to take a bath, and Li Zhien went to keep accounts. As usual, the atmosphere seemed a little weird. Of course Li Mu knew why. Today was the first time he lost his temper with Bai Qiaoqiao, and it was because of another woman, his
His heart was a little messy. But thinking back to the situation just now, he couldn't just watch Zhang Tianai commit the crime and ignore it. After all, Wang Ou had done nothing wrong.
But what he said to Bai Qiaoqiao was indeed a bit "bullying". Because he knew that Bai Qiaoqiao was not cruel enough and could not let him drive everyone away, and he said that deliberately, which is not bullying.
?
Li Mu felt irritable, so he came to the front yard from the back house. He happened to meet Li Chongyi, who had just come back and hadn't seen him for a day. Li Chongyi had been selecting people in the camp for the past few days. He left as soon as the gate opened every day and didn't come back until dark. Brother
The two of them rarely see each other.
"Back?"
"Hmm!" Li Chongyi said very few words, and most of the time he just jumped on each word.
"Is that enough?"
Li Chongyi shook his head.
"Don't be in a hurry." Li Mu sighed and said, "I'm depressed, so come drink with me!"
"Okay!" Li Chongyi responded and followed Li Mu. The two of them came to the warehouse. Here there is good wine made by Li Mu himself. Different from the wine produced by Bashang Winery, Li Mu's self-brewed wine is all with buff. Three
Drinking the cup will increase your strength, and drinking Zhuangyuanhong will increase your intelligence. But for Li Mu and Li Chongyi, it makes no difference whether they drink it or not. Drinking is just to get drunk.
The two brothers got into the warehouse, sat directly on the ground, leaned against the wine jar, reached out to touch a jar, patted open the sealing mud, and started drinking.
After drinking half the jar, Li Chongyi thought of something and said, "Xiao Jiu?"
"Don't look for him when you're drinking." Li Mu waved his hand and said, "With a nine in your name, drinking won't help. It's fine if you don't drink. If you drink, you'll get drunk. Don't look for him."
"Oh." Li Chongyi nodded, raised his neck and continued to drink. Don't open three glasses of wine. The wine poured out is very strong, so it doesn't matter who is right. Li Chongyi, an eight-foot giant, can drink two or three jars without any problem.
Li Mu's drinking capacity was pretty good, but he couldn't compare with this pervert, so he drank Zhuangyuan Red, which had a lower alcohol content.
"Big man, do you have someone you like?"
Li Chongyi looked at Li Mu blankly, as if he didn't understand the question at all.
"I'm asking you, do you have a crush? Do you have anyone you've ever liked?"
Li Chongyi thought about it seriously and said: "I liked my mother, but my mother died. Now I like you, you are my eldest brother."
Something seems wrong.
Li Mu analyzed this logic. He liked his mother, and his mother died, and then he liked me. Doesn’t that mean that I also
Li Mu raised his hand and patted Li Chongyi on the back of his head, cursing: "You're just cursing me like this? I'm not talking about this kind of love, it's the kind between men and women, where your heart beats loudly when you see a woman.
"
Li Chongyi touched his chest and said seriously: "Brother, everyone's heart is beating when I see him."
"..." Li Mu sighed, took another sip of wine, and muttered, "I really don't need to ask you."
Li Chongyi was silent again. He had finished the jar of wine in his hand and took another jar. Li Mu saw beef jerky hanging on the wall not far away, grabbed Li Chongyi's arm and got up, and pulled two
I threw one to Li Chongyi, and he grabbed one and gnawed on it. The beef jerky was secretly made. It was about two feet long and tasted just right with wine.
"Big man, you have been with me the longest. Do you think I am an amorous person?"
Li Chongyi swallowed the beef in his mouth, his big eyes widened, and said: "Brother, what is adultery?"
"Just fall in love with someone you meet," Li Mu asked very seriously: "Don't you think there is a problem? I am alone, but I like several women. In addition to my wife, there is also Zhien. Who is that?
, who is that...there are several of them, is he a bastard?"
"Well..." Li Chongyi thought for a moment and said, "Brother, in our Heishui, a capable man has more than a dozen women. The more women he has, the more everyone admires him and calls him a hero."
"Hero?" Li Mu became curious and asked, "What does this have to do with heroes?"
"Of course it does matter." Li Chongyi said seriously: "Our women are all robbed. When tribes fight, if they win, their women will be robbed. If they lose, they will be robbed. The more women a man has
, which means that the more battles he wins, the more naturally he is a hero."
"Oh, so that's what happened." Li Mu suddenly realized, raised his hand and patted Li Chongyi on the shoulder, saying: "If you go back, you will definitely be a great hero. No one can beat you."
Li Chongyi was silent for a while, then said: "Brother, that's not necessarily the case."
"Um?"
"My father, like me, was born with supernatural powers, but he died at the hands of someone weaker than him."
"Being plotted against?"
"I don't know what's going on." Li Chongyi's eyes were a little confused, but he was very determined: "I remember the face of my enemy, and I will definitely kill him!"
