"I hope so," I said quietly, "why do men in the world marry so many women?" If the father and the emperor concentrate on the queen mother, the harem will not be chaotic if it wants to. ”

He smiled and said: "Of course the royal family has to spread its branches, only your mother is alone, how many children can she have?" ”

I said, "Now there are a bunch of women in the harem, isn't it just me?" ”

He said disapprerovingly, "It was an accident." ”

I looked at him, as if I didn't agree with what I said, and remembered Li Chaozong's "spreading branches" and asked, "How many women do you have besides me?" ”

He didn't answer my question, but pulled me and said, "Let's go back." ”

As he dragged me forward, I said unyieldingly, "This matter is very important to me, you must sue me, I must know these things." ”

He stopped and said, "I promised my mother that after marrying you, I would no longer take concubines, so I am now the only woman I have." ”

I put my mind at ease, laughed happily, and said, "Tell me earlier!" God mysterious. He took his arm and leaned on him, and we got into the carriage together and went home.

In the next few days, I followed what he said, and recuperated in the house, Chen Xianren came a few times, diagnosed the pulse, prescribed prescriptions, and delivered medicine, after his conditioning, I no longer felt dizzy, nor did I feel nauseous, and my appetite was much better.

At this time, I realized that I hadn't seen Wanxi and Qingqing for a long time, and asked Qingyang, who had been with me: "Where did Wanxi and Qingqing go?" ”

Qing Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "They have other errands, so they are not in the mansion." ”

"What errand?"

"This slave doesn't know, if the lady wants to summon them, she only needs to call Chief Manager Xu, and these personnel arrangements in the house are all in the mind of Chief Manager Xu."

It's nothing, but Qingqing, I like this fast-talking little girl so much.

"Is that Lao Xu?" I remember him, he was the chief steward, and he was interested, "Call him, I just want to meet him." ”

Qing Yang agreed to go, and after a while, Manager Xu came. He was about forty or fifty years old, his thin cheeks were sunken, and his eyes, which seemed to be a little long, always looked drowsy.

Seeing him like this, I really didn't think there was anything outstanding, I don't know why Zhou Sinian valued him so much, and he no longer had the interest to talk to him more, so he asked Wanxi and Qingqing directly, and Mr. Xu pondered for a moment and said: "There are a few new song shops and dance clubs opened this year, and the two of them have gone there." ”

"The two of them, can they sing and dance? Why are they there? ”

Manager Xu said: "There are all teaching Mama in it, and you can learn it soon." ”

"Song Fang Dance Club," I muttered, thinking of a not-so-good word, "what is it for?" ”

Manager Xu smiled: "Madame, don't worry, unless you need to accompany important guests, the city lord will not go there." ”

I blushed, and sure enough, I guessed that it was a brothel. But my heart was also guessed by this old manager.

"Wanxi and Qingqing were sent to a brothel like this?" I was amazed and asked, "Whose idea is this?" ”

Manager Xu stopped smiling this time, and said seriously: "Madame misunderstood, in our song and dance club, whether the girls go to do things, whether they accompany guests, and what Cheng dù accompanies are all voluntary." ”

"Wanxi and Qingqing, now they are the big shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper, and the people who go out of the house have all seen the world, and when they go outside, they will take a look at it."

I listened skeptically and asked, "Do we have a lot of this business out there?" ”

Manager Xu said: "Yes, but any business that makes money in the world, we will do it in Sun City." Sun City has been prosperous in recent years, and young people are willing to follow the city lord to do things. ”

"If that's the case, wouldn't there be no young people in Sun City?"

"There must be enough people left in the city to work, this now has a special charter, and several aunts in the family are taking care of it, which is very proper, the big guys are very convinced, and Mrs. can rest assured."

"Auntie?" I suddenly had the feeling of five thunders, and Zhou Sinian said that he had no other woman.

Forcibly suppressed the trembling of his voice and asked, "What aunt?" ”

Manager Xu didn't answer, I pretended to drink tea, and with my eyes, I saw that Qing Yang was gesturing to him, but the old manager didn't understand.

I couldn't help but be annoyed and Qingyang, because I trusted her so much, she hid everything from me? I wanted to lose my temper, but I felt that those aunts were so "convincing", I couldn't let people think that I was stingy, so I put down the teacup and said: "Qingyang, you don't have to stop Manager Xu, I know that Brother Nian has a concubine, but there have been too many things recently, and it is not a big matter, so I haven't mentioned it again." Now that Mr. Xu is talking about it, I will ask casually, I know a little more, and I will get along well in the future. ”

Manager Xu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, don't talk about people like the city lord, my old man still has three in his family." ”

I squinted at his eyes that couldn't wake up, and sneered: "The boss is really old and strong, hurry up and eat more tonic for the kidney and aphrodisiac, maybe you can have another big fat boy?" ”

Who knew that Mr. Xu laughed and said, "Haha, the concubine will give birth in two months, thank you for your good words." "It's really out of temper to the end.

After Mr. Xu left, Qing Yang said: "This Mr. Xu is the most lustful, the city lord is different from him, don't take his words seriously, madam." Back then, the city lord married women, mainly to let them take care of the house, and besides, the city lord would not bring them out. ”

I didn't speak, I didn't think so, the housekeeper is going to marry a woman who is going to be his own? It's just an excuse. It's just that I can't say these words, I don't have to look stingy, I don't have the stomach of the main room.
