Chapter Seventy-One: A Headache ......
The girl at the head stepped forward again with courage, bowed down and whispered, "Master Hou...... Wives and concubines can live in other houses, so that the maid should live in the adjacent house, and ...... And we are going to live next to you......"
She turned her head to look at her sisters, indeed, even she rarely heard that a person would suddenly get ten girls in the room, usually one or two, and many of them were big girls who could live in the house, because they grew up with their masters, so they were given the status of a room.
Swallowed saliva heavily, a girl in the room? He didn't even need to ask anyone about this word, he could know the meaning of it, that is...... As long as you like which one you like, you will wave to the other party and run to your bed? Do you want to serve with all your heart?
Maybe I'll be happy to be another man, but now it's a sin ...... He glanced down at his body...... It was an absolute pain for him. As for those who sleep in their arms, isn't it enough to have a small sword? If you want a 'game', isn't there Shangguan Siqing?
Uh-huh, these little girls are pretty, cute are cute, but they are all green apples dripping with morning dew that are not ripe, and Shangguan Siqing? Belch...... Half-cooked!
Tiansin looked at the little twisted appearance of the girl in charge, and smirked: "It turns out ...... I see...... I really don't know, maybe it's different from the customs I have there...... Ahem. β
The girl raised her head cautiously and asked in a low voice, "Is Master Hou going to sleep?" Slaves...... Slave and maid for you to be clothed ......"
As he spoke, he walked up, his little hand lightly resting on the neckline of Heavenly Sin, and his movements were extremely gentle. When the other nine women saw it, they hurriedly stepped forward one after another.
The Heavenly Sin has been stripped away by them once today, and then come back...... It's a shame! Hurriedly shouted: "Siqing! Siqing? Man?! Come and sleep! β
Just a second later, Shangguan Siqing, who was angry, 'flew' in from outside, stood directly in front of Heavenly Sin, pinched his waist and pouted, and stared at him deadly.
When the girl in charge saw Shangguan Siqing coming in, she was slightly stunned at first, and then lowered her head and stepped back with a complicated expression. The other girls also hurriedly retreated and ...... His face was full of horror.
The corners of Heavenly Sin's eyebrows twitched in embarrassment: "Hey...... Why are you looking at me like that? It's a weird ......."
Shangguan Siqing rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Do you still know that it hurts?" Shaojun! I ask you to give me an explanation! β
"What...... What's the explanation? β
Shangguan Siqing stretched out his hand to those girls without looking back, and asked loudly, "What's going on with them?" Shaojun, didn't you just go to see His Majesty? How...... Why did you suddenly bring back so many women? You say, you say! β
Tiansin scratched his head and said, "This is a reward from His Majesty, and I can't help ......it."
"Don't use your majesty as an excuse!"
Looking at Shangguan Siqing's appearance as a little tiger, Tiansin couldn't help but turn around and ask the little sword sitting behind him, "What's wrong with her?" I'm going to scold me as soon as I come back...... Really. β
Xiao Jian shook his head with a smile, but a pair of small hands touched the waist of Heavenly Sin, found two pieces of tender meat, and turned them back and forth 'gently', not painful, but not without feeling.
Heavenly Sin was speechless and said, "What the hell is going on?" What did I do wrong? β
Shangguan Siqing suddenly flattened his mouth, tears rolled in his big eyes, and he said angrily: "Okay, Shaojun, you are still pretending to be stupid, okay, I'll kill these little goblins!" β
After saying that, he really pulled out his scimitar and rushed towards a group of little girls viciously, Tiansin was frightened, and hurriedly pounced on her from behind, hugged her tightly, and said loudly: "How can you be so cruel? You can't bear to do it with such cute little girls? Stop. β
The ten girls were frightened, and all at once they hugged each other, crying and trembling. The little girl at the head cried even louder: "What the slaves don't know, what they really don't know, please forgive us, the slaves and maids know that they are wrong, and they don't dare anymore......"
Heavenly Sin was completely confused, gritted his teeth, and grabbed Shangguan Siqing's chest with both hands, and the latter screamed in pain, so he hurriedly covered his chest and sat on the ground. Heavenly Sin jumped out from behind her, squatted in front of the little girl at the head and said, "Can you tell me what the hell this is?" This stinky woman is very obedient on weekdays, why did she suddenly get angry today? And what are you afraid of? What did you do wrong? β
The first girl cried and said, "Master Hou...... Why didn't Master Hou say it earlier...... Hmm, the slave and maid are not to blame the marquis, the slave and maid know that they are wrong......"
"What the hell is going on?"
"Let's sue Master SΓΉ for this problem." Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, and Tiansin immediately heard that it was Li Deshun who had just left. hurriedly got up and walked out of the door, and turned around and warned: "Siqing, don't do it, if something happens to them, see if I don't bite you to death!" β
When Shangguan Siqing heard this, he felt even more aggrieved, his tears crackled and fell, he turned his head and jumped on the bed, holding the little sword and crying bitterly.
Heavenly Sin was even more confused, scratched his head and closed the door reflexively, and said to Li Deshun who was standing outside: "I really can't figure it out, this sudden ......"
Li Deshun smiled lightly and said, "The little marquis is really young and romantic. β
Heavenly Sin said: "Tell me quickly, what the hell is going on?" β
Li Deshun said with a smile: "Please also ask the little marquis to take a step to speak." As he spoke, he pointed to a small pavilion in the courtyard.
The two walked over to sit down separately, and Li Deshun smiled and said: "The little marquis is from the West Country, so he shouldn't know too much about some of the customs of Nanming." β
"Wrong, it's not that I don't know much, it's that I don't understand at all!"
"Hehe, okay, then our family will come together for the little marquis......"
Originally...... The sin of heaven is really wrong, and the ten girls are really wrong.
The Southern Ming Kingdom established itself by force, or the entire continent attached great importance to force, and the result of such a 'general environment' was ...... Women will be quite vulnerable. In the eyes of the vast majority of people in Nanmingguo, women only have two roles, reproduction and entertainment, and to put it mildly, they are goods, like tools, and like toys.
But because there is a 'family' existence, there are some exceptions to this, and that is 'marriage'. In order to solve this problem, a high dowry can ensure the economic independence of the married woman, and the background of the big family can ensure the woman's family status.
As a result, there will be 'classes' in a family. For example, the sin of heaven is the Hou Ye, the orthodox Hou Ye, but he has three wives and four concubines, as for the servant's 'self-body', 'servant' and 'room', there is no limit, as long as the financial resources are enough, no one will say anything to raise it for tens of thousands.
But the problem arises with these three wives and four concubines. Especially the concubine, Tiansin promised Shangguan Siqing to give her the title of 'beauty' before, in fact, even if she was accepted as a concubine, otherwise how could Shangguan Siqing, who had a fiery temperament, let him play with his body at will?
And the concubine is the 'standing girl', higher than the maid and the like, but lower than the wife, and can only stand before and after the person, not allowed to sit. But there is another one, that is, a concubine can become a wife!
The Marquis of Heavenly Sin is on his body, and his wife is something that others dare not ask for, but the two side room positions are 'empty', how can a woman not want to occupy that position? Therefore, Shangguan Siqing expressed great anger at the large number of women brought back by Heavenly Sin. But it's just anger, and if that's the case, she's not qualified to vent her sins.
There is also a rule in this, that is, to ask for a concubine and ask for a wife, and to admit other women into the room...... But I also have to talk to my concubine. It's okay not to say it, but this means that the concubine has to 'give way', and the new woman will naturally become a concubine. This is the unwritten rule that is practiced in the entire continent, and the Heavenly Sin brought back ten women, and did not explain to Shangguan Siqing, which means that Shangguan Siqing has suddenly become an 'ordinary maid', and it is not allowed to marry outside, which is definitely the last thing a woman wants.
Therefore, Shangguan Siqing had a reason to be angry and roar. And the ten women didn't expect that such a big little child as Heavenly Sin already had a concubine, so they all moved into Heavenly Sin's room, in order to hope that they could be favored, so as to get the identity of the concubine, and even the identity of the side room! After all, they are also from the imperial city, they are still a little ambitious, but they are not willing to be a maid for the rest of their lives.
This is also the reason why Shangguan Siqing suddenly appeared, and those women panicked. The fact that they live in the master's room without the consent of the concubine is in itself a 'passing' affair, and even ...... Shangguan Siqing killed them, and the master should not punish them.
"Hmm...... I have a headache ......."
After listening to Li Deshun's introduction, Tiansin covered his head in pain, he is really a head with several big heads now, he originally thought that he would be kind enough to save a few poor and cute little girls, but he didn't expect it...... There will be countless troubles waiting for you.
If it is placed in other families, then he must choose now, it is to Shangguan Siqing...... still want those ten girls, if you choose the former, those girls can only be maids for a lifetime, if the latter ...... That's even worse, Shangguan Siqing has to live in another courtyard.
This is the rule, the rule that even the emperor has to abide by. It is also ridiculous to say that it was originally a method used to protect the rights and interests of those weak women, but now it has restrained the hands and feet of heavenly sin. How to choose? How can God sin have that responsibility, so, headache.
Li Deshun smiled, didn't give JianyΓ¬, didn't mention anything, after talking about the rules, as if he hadn't heard of the Hou's mansion's 'backyard fire' at all, and said with a smile: "When I left before, the little Hou Ye said, 'goodbye', but I didn't expect that after a while, we really met again, and the little Hou Ye is really like a god." β
Heavenly Sin also knows that a guy like Li Deshun who can whisper to himself at will above His Majesty's main hall must be a person who is favored by His Majesty, and a common characteristic of this kind of character is that they really don't care about other people's housework.
Tiansin smiled bitterly: "Yes, yes, the front foot will come back with the back foot, I thought you forgot something here." β
Li Deshun said with a smile: "Our family has returned to the palace, but His Majesty sent our family to inform the little marquis that tomorrow is the early morning court once a month, and it is also the first time that hundreds of officials have gathered after this chaos, so His Majesty wants you to go to the court as well." β
"What?!"
