Fang Qi felt that it was not easy for him not to be drunk today, so he sobered her up, and after hearing that Yan Chi had returned to the room and bathed, he went straight to the bathroom quite consciously.

The warm fragrance in the bathroom has not yet dissipated, Yan Chi must have soaked in a burst of fragrant soup, and the aromatic period also urgently needs to be soaked for a while to relieve the fatigue of the day, she leaned comfortably against the wall of the barrel, her long hair fell down, and the two maids in August and September washed and wrangled it for her, and her body was soothed by the warm soup, and she closed her eyes comfortably.

Chang Ying came in again, and there was not a word about the news from the Golden House Garden, and the theme was naturally about Gao Beisheng's latest performance after the big blow in Zhaotang today, who switched to Mingtang.

David's men, especially officials, took concubines as commonplace.

It is not impossible for officials and colleagues to give each other beautiful concubines, but because concubines are good names, not slaves and maids who can be sold, so this kind of mutual gifting needs to become a "gift" for the person himself, but this also shows the completely different status of wives and concubines.

Are there any men who have a deep affection for concubines?

Also, Yan Yong is not the only outlier, like David has a very talented official, after the death of his wife, he did not remarry, but accepted a concubine, he cherished the concubine's talent very much, respected like a wife, not only handed over the children to the concubine to raise, but also let the concubine take charge of the feed, so his behavior became a political opponent to attack him, was demoted, all the way to Yazhou, this official does not care, he still does his own thing, many of his poems are to praise the concubine's talent, This also made many people know about the concubine's appearance and style.

But the vast majority of people, especially those in the officialdom, have a contemptuous attitude towards concubines.

In the concubine room, like Zhou Xiaoniang, in fact, it is already very decent, Qin Jing did not regard her as a tool, in the past, Qin Xiangdi was a summoning banquet, and Zhou Xiaoniang was required to serve, that is just to serve the Wang family's mother or be sent by the Wang family to serve other female guests, not to serve the male guests with tea and wine to accompany the drink, and act as a female player.

In the ordinary official eunuchs, it is indeed rare to let the concubine behave as a female servant, and most of them hire real female servants, so there is no need to let the concubine replace it.

On the contrary, in the princes and nobles, the concubines and the female concubines were very confused.

Because such a concubine room is divided into ranks, widows, wives, this is considered a grade, similar to the concubine, they can serve the husband and the master, but generally do not serve the man, these are usually concubines in name only, of course, concubines without rank may also be famous, but their status is more humble, unless they ask to leave, they can not be autonomous, so they have to obey the orders of the head of the family.

And then there are the concubines in name only.

Most of these concubines are not self-absorbed by the head of the family, they are "gifts".

Those who intend to cling to it, like to give concubines as "gifts", the reason for the formation of such an atmosphere, most of the reason is because David banned the slave trade from the law, unless the law is punished and confiscated as an official slave, otherwise they are all good records, there is no slave status, but the custom of giving beautiful maids has existed since ancient times, and it cannot be banned for a while, which makes those villains who intend to cling to the powerful people very troubled.

Looking for a beautiful maid and giving it to others, the result is just a living deed, the person who receives the gift not only has to support these beautiful maids, but also pay them a salary, the most important thing is that if the maid is a fierce woman, refuse to do anything other than the maidservant, the person who receives the gift can not be strong, this gift will not become a chicken rib?

Therefore, the giver had to think of another way, a sum of money for the concubine, and even the concubine document was given together, and the gift became the concubine of the recipient, but there was no right to be a servant, no salary, and no human rights, if you want to leave, it is not easy, if the head of the family does not agree, the concubine has to repay the concubine money first, they are generally penniless women, so in fact, there is no qualification to ask to leave.

For example, Xue Ji and Wei Ji are such "gifts", their concubines named Yan Chi, in fact, in terms of status, they are really not as good as, Chang Ying and other servants, of course, in fact, they all hope to be favored and become famous concubines, but this hope is a fantasy, and they also accepted the life of a concubine named Ji as a maid.

Gao Beisheng is not a "gift", she is the widow of the Empress Dowager Zhou, although she has tossed the gift, but she is not as helpless as Xue Ji and Wei Ji, she wants to ask to leave, others don't say, Mrs. Wang must be willing to stand up for her, Yan Chi can't force her to stay, of course she will leave.

But she prefers to behave as a servant, and took an inexplicable evil path, in order to rely on herself to seek Yan Chi's favor, to be honest, Fang Qi really doesn't understand Gao Beisheng's brain and wisdom, how paradoxical it is.

Fang Qi half-closed his eyes and enjoyed the fragrant soup bath, and listened to Chang Ying: "The people who are willing to go to the Golden House today are actually some gentlemen, either listening to funny words, or watching songs and dances, although Ah Lang was not present, they are also restrained, so as not to surprise those people in the Golden House, that is to say, just laughing and laughing."

Gao Xiaoniang didn't know what to think, so she talked to these gentlemen about 'the world and the country' and 'virtue is a saint', and grabbed people to discuss how to annotate what 'gentleman's punishment' should be, and asked those people to be confused, and seeing that a few Lang Jun of the Gao family were also there, Gao Xiaoniang hurried over and talked endlessly.

Now a group of people know who Gao Xiaoniang is, and there is a gentleman who said, "The daughter of the Gao family is really talented, this knowledge, it's a pity not to take the imperial examination", Gao Xiaoniang took this seriously, the more complacent, and said that what songs, dances, songs and singing are things that consume the will, and you should be familiar with the scriptures and history. ”

Fang Qi felt funny when he thought about that situation, shaking his shoulders and laughing.

"Later, my mother heard about this, and took a few objects casually, and asked people to give them to Gao Xiaoniang, saying that it was Ah Lang's reward for her, Gao Xiaoniang was very excited, and asked that after the dinner, Ah Lang entertained the guests who stayed in the ruthless building, and she also wanted to show her face, and Ah Mu asked no one to let go of the locked gold house, I heard that Gao Xiaoniang was still angry and cried, and she must have suspected that Ah Mu deliberately suppressed her, Xue Ji and Wei Ji were almost crazy with laughter, and everyone thought that Gao Xiaoniang's stupid appearance was more funny than burlesque."

Fang Qi pondered for a while, and instructed Chang Ying: "You bring a message to, I will summon Wu Ji tomorrow, saying that it is a game with Wu Ji, but Wu Ji happened to meet the national teacher on the way back to Jinwuyuan, and in the evening, let arrange another maid for Gao Xiaoniang, serve her closely, pick a few more, and then give Gao Xiaoniang the privilege of choosing one of them." ”

"Yes." Chang Ying turned around and walked out.

August smiled and said, "Madame, is this deliberately misleading Gao Xiaoniang?" ”

"Clever." Praise for the future.

Yan Chi must have been impatient to give Gao Beisheng a beautiful man's plan, so she had to do it for her, but fortunately, Gao Beisheng's self-righteous temperament, she could taste the honey flavor if she gave her a sour date, like a small favor with the idea of calling a maidservant, it was enough to make Gao Beisheng believe that Yan Chi was impressed by her.

Keep shaking, and when the slap comes, she will be even more at a loss, and then she will ask the reason for the crisis again.

When she came out of the bathroom refreshed, this time Fang Qi went straight back to the inner room, and the green silk on her head was only replaced with a low tuxedo, which was somewhat due to Yan Chi's sake, otherwise she would have put on a petticoat and dress and went directly to Meng Zhougong, and she didn't need to clean it up.

The bathroom was built in the south of the outer room, the southeast angle of the inner room, and after coming out, Fang Qi went to her bed under the west window, and did not pay attention to see if Yan Chi was placed, although this person has always slept late, but today the hour is not very early, most of them are asleep, she also slowed down her steps for fear of waking people up, how do you know that to her semi-closed small "compartment", but I saw Yan Chi lying on her couch, stilted legs, one arm on the bottom of her head.

It was certainly not asleep, although the man had his eyes closed.

His hair was loose, and he was very unelaborate in a silk tunic and he was very comfortable.

As soon as Fang Qi turned around, he saw that September had already disappeared.

"If Yan Lang really wants to sleep here, I don't care." The threat of strong and dry outside the aromatic period.

"Well, you can sleep in the bed, I'll take a cool time here." Yan Chi didn't pretend to be asleep, slanted the corners of his mouth and smiled, his eyes half-open.

The moonlight in the window penetrated, and there was a lamp, and in such a moonlight candle, the eyebrows and eyes of the two were both clear and ambiguous.

When Fang Qi heard this, he knew that the threat was ineffective, and this person meant that he would go to bed to settle down after taking the cold, which meant that he wanted to share the same bed.

"Don't make a fuss, I'm so sleepy today that I can't hold it anymore." The threat was ineffective, and Fang Qi gently pushed Yan Chi's knee.

Yan Chi stretched out his hand, he took advantage of the situation to sit up, but pulled Fang Qi to sit on the couch.

This guy's middle coat knot doesn't seem to be tied tightly, and the collar is slightly open after sitting upright, revealing a small section under the neck.

It's the breath, the sudden approach.

"Don't make trouble, this couch will have to be removed tomorrow, and from tonight, we will have to get used to sharing the same bed."

Aromatic period: !!

"Why do you want to withdraw?"

"Tomorrow Yang Chun Nu will be picked up, can you not let Yang Chun Nu play in your house? Besides, both of your aunts have to stay in our house for a few days, isn't it strange that your family will see such a large bed in the inner room, and an abrupt couch under the window? Your wardrobe is here, my wardrobe is over there, and it is not good for the husband and wife to divide their clothes like this. ”

"How can the fifth sister and the sixth sister think so much......"

"They don't think so much, what about the nurse of Yang Chunnu, what about the biological mother of Yang Chunnu? They saw suspicion in their eyes, and they would definitely tell the eldest brother, are you willing to make the eldest brother worried? ”

This guy, is this the idea to keep my brother for a while?!

"Fangqi." Yan Chi stretched out his hand, let Fang Qi turn his cheeks, and his forehead was pasted: "I'm not in a hurry, I won't force you to make a decision if you don't answer me, let's just ...... like this"

His lips came closer, and the breaths of the two seemed to be entangled.

Fang Qi forgot to hold his breath this time.

The silence of the room, the entangled breathing became more and more rapid, and you and I really couldn't tell the difference.

"My heart is pounding, what about yours?" Yan Chi asked.

But he didn't need to answer, because he heard it.

"Your heart is beating as fast."

A gentle kiss on it, this time it's not like a touch during a raid, but it's just a soft and slow intimacy.

Fang Qi was stunned, but she didn't refuse, and her hand was still dragged around Yan Chi's waist.

"We're all there is to it for now, can we?"
