Chapter 252: Concubine

Rong Yuanhang stayed awake all night. The reason why the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info can achieve today's results is all due to this mysterious 'travel instrument'. After this time travel device was upgraded to a perfect version, he had a very urgent feeling. Because, now there is not much energy stored, only 8100 units. Any order executed by the time travel instrument is inseparable from energy, and if he does not have the amount of energy, he will not even be able to return to the main plane. In this case, no amount of energy will ever be enough!

"Where to get so much energy? It seems that you have to make money if you want to do it! Rong Yuanhang sighed deeply.

……

At seven o'clock in the morning, the maid Tingzhi came over with a basin of water, broke into his bedroom and said, "Young master, you should have breakfast." ā€

"yes, I see." Rong Yuanhang rubbed his eyebrows and got off the bed. Ting Zhi hurriedly rushed over and said softly, "Young master, the slave will help you change your clothes." As he spoke, he had already grabbed the robe on the hanger to help him change it.

For this kind of service, Rong Yuanhang has become accustomed to it. You don't need her help, as a maid, you will mumble in your heart, thinking that the master hates them, and letting them participate in their daily life at the right time can make people feel at ease.

Ting Zhi was flexible with his hands and feet, and a set of cumbersome clothes quickly helped him put it on, Rong Yuanhang's head was short, and he didn't need to comb and wear a crown, which saved a process. Next, she quickly filled the toothpaste and handed it over, and then a towel was already in her hand, standing behind Rong Yuanhang and waiting for backup. This work is done in a very nuanced and thoughtful way.

For toothpaste, toothbrushes, tissues in the bedroom, and mirrors, which are modern products on the earth, in fact, Ting Zhi and these maids were very curious at the beginning, and the tall peony girl once asked him: "Young master, where did you get these things?" ā€

As a result, Rong Yuanhang made a straight face, and replied stiffly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" Just such a slightly reproachful sentence, Peony didn't dare to approach him from then on, feeling that this young master was scared with a straight face, maybe he would be unhappy that day and kick himself out of the house, and then it would be miserable. So unconsciously, the two girls had a sense of awe for him.

The place of dining was in the hall of the North Main House, where the three women Xiao Xue, Jing Ruxia, and the Peony Maid had been waiting for a long time. On a table of eight immortals, several dishes are placed, and three pairs of bowls and chopsticks are also placed neatly.

Jing Ruxia felt nervous about Rong Yuanhang's arrival, she stood up and smiled: "Husband, it's time for breakfast." ā€

Rong Yuanhang nodded and said hello to Xiao Xue before sitting down. The peony who was waiting on the side immediately left a bowl of seafood porridge and placed it respectfully in front of him. Today's scenery is like a colorful skirt, embellished with cloud buns and emerald beads, eyebrows and lips, and a face like peach blossoms. Apparently well-groomed, but rather a little tacky, because her eyebrows were too thickly painted.

Rong Yuanhang frowned secretly, and asked with a smile: "How do you dress up like this today?" ā€

As soon as he said it, Jing Ruxia hurriedly put down her chopsticks in a panic, subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands, and her beautiful face instantly turned red, but she couldn't speak.

Xiao Xue on the side smiled: "What's the matter, is Ruxia good-looking?" ā€

Rong Yuanhang looked at Jing Ruxia with a serious face, nodded and said, "It's good-looking, even if you don't pretend, it's good-looking." ā€

"Husband...... Husband, don't make fun of people. Jing Ruxia said softly.

Xiao Xue said: "Today is the day when Ruxia returns to the door, so dress up beautifully." ā€

"Oh...... so it is." Rong Yuanhang leaned over and asked Jing Ruxia, "Do you want to go back to your parents' house?" ā€

"Yes." Jing Ruxia replied in a low voice.

"Well, let's go back then." Rong Yuanhang nodded, and instructed without consciousness: "Be careful on the road." ā€

Jing Ruxia raised her head abruptly, looked at him and asked bravely, "Husband, husband, don't you go back with the slave family?" ā€

Looking at this pitiful face, Rong Yuanhang almost wanted to agree. However, considering the large number of people in her mother's family, plus the oolong affair of going to the woman's house to drink wedding wine as a groom, she also caused a lot of trouble, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. The most important thing is that he is not mentally prepared to recognize such a large number of relatives, so he shook his head and said: "I won't go, you can have fun alone, and it's okay to stay at your mother's house for a few more days." ā€

"Oh." Jing Ruxia was disappointed for a moment. She was even a little happy that Rong Yuanhang didn't have sex with her, but she was very sad about his refusal to go back to his parents' house with her.

The status of concubines in this world is very low. The concubine is not the official marriage match of the man, even if the man marries a hundred more concubines, but if he has not yet married a wife, he can be regarded as a single diamond king. In the family, the duties of concubines and wives are to serve their husbands, administer the housekeepers, and have children. However, for the head of the family, a concubine is similar to a slave. Relatively speaking, it is only a little higher than the status of the lower people.

And as a concubine, her rights in the family are very limited: she cannot participate in the family's sacrifices, she cannot participate in deliberations, in a word, she is excluded from the family. The most important point: the relatives of the concubine cannot be included in the in-laws of the husband's family at all. Even the children born to them must recognize their formal wives as 'mothers-in-law'. And as a biological mother, she can only be regarded as a 'concubine'. Also, the children born to the concubine are young masters and young ladies, and the identity of the concubine is a slave! The irony is that she can only call her children 'young master' and 'miss', and her own children only call her "aunt".

-- This is the sorrow of being a concubine.

And now Rong Yuanhang refused Jing Ruxia's request to go back to her parents' house together for fear of trouble, and she didn't think about this aspect with Ben, so she was very disappointed. Because this also means that Rong Yuanhang does not recognize her mother's relatives, and she is not valued at all in her husband's mind.

Jing Ruxia silently lowered her head and ate the dishes in the bowl. Rong Yuanhang didn't notice the change in her mood, but Xiao Xue didn't realize that Jing Ruxia had tears in her eyes, but she covered it up well.

Xiao Xue couldn't bear to open her mouth and said, "Yuanhang, you go, go back to your parents' house with Ruxia." There's nothing important here, just a distraction. ā€

"Me?" Rong Yuanhang pointed at himself and said, "Do you have to let me go?" ā€

At this time, Jing Ruxia suddenly raised her head and said, "Forget it, madam, don't force him." ā€

When he saw her face, Rong Yuanhang realized that her eyes were red, and she had obviously cried.

"Look at it, it's making her cry." Xiao Xue feigned.

"Damn, why are you crying?" Rong Yuanhang was stunned for a moment and said, "What a big deal, just go, don't cry." ā€

"Really?"

"Do you want me to go or don't want me to go?"

Jing Ruxia was originally told that tears flowed down again, but now when she heard him agree, she couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "Thank you, husband!" ā€

Rong Yuanhang shook his head funny, and said in his heart: It's still a child! However, she was originally a child, and she was less than sixteen years old.

……

This time, the gift from her mother's family had already been prepared, and it was personally inquired by Wang Dujie's wife, Dongfang Zhiliu. But it's nothing more than some food boxes, wine and meat, silk and satin, and the like.

Rong Yuanhang and Jing Ruxia sat in a luxurious double-headed horned carriage, and in front of them was Wang Ping'an leading a few porters to open the way, trembling all the way to Meizizhuang thirty miles outside the Huanxiu River.

In the carriage, the two sat side by side, and there was a large open space in the middle of the long seats. But as the road trembled, Jing Ruxia always sat unsteadily, and then inevitably her bodies touched each other. Whenever an external force prompts the girl to move closer to him, she will immediately move the master to leave, keeping a certain distance from Rong Yuanhang.

When she trembled again and her body approached unconsciously, the girl moved her ass again and wanted to leave, Rong Yuanhang grabbed her hand and said, "Aren't you tired of sitting like this?" Sit down, I'll hold you. ā€

"Ahh Jing Ruxia exclaimed lightly, she was taken aback at first, and subconsciously wanted to resist. But after a pause, he blushed and leaned closer to him, acting very submissive.

Rong Yuanhang held her soft and boneless little hand, smelling the fragrance coming from her body, and his heart throbbed. So he let go of her little hand, but hugged the girl by the waist and let the other party lean tighter.

"You seem to be afraid of me?" Rong Yuanhang asked in her ear.

Jing Ruxia shook her head and replied in a low voice, "No." ā€

"Why do you always avoid me?"

"I ...... Didn't hide from you. ā€

"Your heart is beating fast, and you say you're not afraid of me?" Rong Yuanhang teased.

Jing Ruxia was ashamed, and her little face was so cute that she was red.

Holding her small waist and feeling the soft and warm skin of the other party, this feeling is simply so refreshing. Looking at this beautiful face like a sinking fish and a goose and a shy flower in the closed moon, Rong Yuanhang secretly decided: Anyway, they are already husband and wife, I will have sex with her tonight, and I will not wait for a day!

The two remained in this intimate posture for a long time in the carriage. After a while, Jing Ruxia, who was still snuggling in him, couldn't help but look up and ask, "Husband, what do you ......say?" Why didn't you pick me up on the day you got married? Didn't come back that night? ā€

This question has been lingering in her mind until now.

Rong Yuanhang moved his position to make his body more comfortable. He thought about it for a moment before saying, "I told you not to be angry. ā€

"No, no, no." Jing Ruxia said busily.

"Well," Rong Yuanhang paused and said, "Actually, I don't want to take a concubine." ā€

Jing Ruxia broke free from his embrace, looked into his eyes and asked in surprise, "Why?" ā€

Rong Yuanhang smiled and said, "No, it's just my grandmother's arrangement." ā€

"Ahh Jing Ruxia snorted lightly, she lowered her head, and was silent for a while before she said, "Husband, when you say this, the slave family seems to understand." In fact...... The slave family also did not want to marry. However, my father's fate is hard to disobey, and for the sake of my brother's marriage with my sister-in-law, there are still some difficulties in the family, so I agreed to marry you as a concubine. ā€

"Do you regret it now?" Rong Yuanhang asked with a smile.

Jing Ruxia shook her head, "No, from the moment I got on the sedan chair, the slave family accepted his fate." But I—I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect my husband to be so handsome, and his temper was ...... Doesn't seem bad? ā€

"Hehe," Rong Yuanhang Yile asked, "What would you do if I were an old, ugly, and grumpy man?" ā€

Jing Ruxia pursed her lips, shook her head slowly, and said, "I...... I don't know, I think, if that's the case, I can get by that day, but if I can't get by, then ...... I found a clean place, but this cheap life is good. ā€

"What? How could you think that at such a young age? Rong Yuanhang was taken aback.

"Actually, in the past two years, there have been a lot of people in my family who have proposed marriage. But I didn't want to get married, and there were several times when I was forced to die. ā€

Jing Ruxia simply revealed her heart and said: "However, every time I see my father's sad face, the slave family is also very uncomfortable. Always warn yourself: Don't forget it, Jing Ruxia, this is all a woman's life! This time, my grandmother came to my house to propose, and the dowry she promised was very generous, so my parents could not refuse. In addition, my aunt and grandmother also came to persuade her, and her old man said a lot of good things about you, so the slave family agreed. ā€

Rong Yuanhang listened speechless for a long time. Jing Ruxia suddenly laughed happily and said, "Husband, you still don't know who my aunt and grandmother are, right?" ā€

"Who is she?" Rong Yuanhang is inexplicable.

"Actually, she is the fifteenth concubine of the old lady, she lives in the Wang family's compound, let's live in a mansion together, and the slave family can often come to see her in the future!"

Rong Yuanhang didn't know that there was a character like Jing Xiaohong in the Wang family's mansion, so he had no way to understand. But seeing Jing Ruxia's happy appearance, he was also pleased.
