Fang Zi'an stayed in Qingyuan for more than half a month, and the injury on his foot gradually healed. Aside from a huge scar, running and jumping are no longer a problem. In the past half a month, Fang Zi'an has no worries about food and clothing, and he is in a happy mood.

During this time, Fang Zi'an only met Shen Ling'er once. It was when she was walking on the path in the back garden and saw Shen Ling'er sitting alone on the stone by the pond in a daze, and Fang Zi'an didn't bother her. In addition, Shen Ling'er lived with Fang Zi'an in Qingyuan like a hidden ghost, but she couldn't see her.

From Qin Xiqing's mouth, Fang Zi'an learned that Shen Ling'er hadn't gone out recently, and she hid in her house and didn't know what she was doing. But in recent days, Qin Xiqing has seen her practicing martial arts in the open space in the back garden several times. And according to Qin Xiqing's observation, the restraint on her chest has also disappeared. That means that Shen Ling'er's injuries have also healed.

Now that his injuries have healed, Fang Zi'an also decided to move back to his home. After all, living here in Qin Xiqing is always a little inconvenient. Qin Xiqing rarely went to Wanchun Garden in order to accompany her, and there were quite a few complaints up and down. Fang Zi'an naturally couldn't make Qin Xiqing embarrassed. Moreover, Fang Zi'an also has his own things to do. He was going to see Chunni and explain to her the reason why he had been missing for so many days. In addition, he also has to go to Wantou Village to see the old boss, after the last time he saw off the Dream to sea, Fang Zi'an promised to buy another big ship and hand it over to the old boss for repair, so long without appearing, the old boss should be in a hurry. In addition, he also wanted to inquire about the news of the ships going to sea, although he felt that he might not be able to find anything, but he always felt that even if he got some news with a few words, he would feel more at ease.

Fang Zi'an told Qin Xiqing the news that he was going to move out, and although Qin Xiqing was reluctant, he could only agree. She knew that she couldn't always enclose Fang Zi'an in her own garden, and Fang Zi'an was not the kind of person who could indulge in his gentle township peacefully, he was a very independent person. Just like when he repaired the ship and went to sea, Qin Xiqing actually understood in his heart that Fang Zi'an was unwilling to accept his help and kindness indefinitely, so he had to do it. To some extent, it was he who caused him such pressure. Qin Xiqing is a smart woman, the more she understands Fang Zi'an, the more she understands that there must be no coercion and coercion on Fang Zi'an, and to win this man's heart, it is by no means a way to keep him by his side every day, but more importantly, a magnanimous mentality.

During this period of time, getting along day and night did not make Qin Xiqing disappointed in Fang Zi'an, Fang Zi'an may have many shortcomings that men have, but he also has wisdom and perseverance that most men do not have, as well as experience beyond his age. To be precise, the longer you get along, the more you can find the shining points in Fang Zi'an, and they emerge endlessly. There was always something like a mist on his body, and there was so much unknown wrapped in that fog that attracted her to explore and dig.

That night, Qin Xiqing set up a sumptuous banquet to celebrate Fang Zi'an's recovery. At the same time, it is also a small farewell for Fang Zi'an to move away early tomorrow morning. Although they are in the same capital, in fact, the residence of two people is in the same city, and they can't meet from time to time, so it is reasonable to send a small farewell.

Qin Xiqing made an exception and drank a few glasses of wine with Fang Zi'an, and when the atmosphere was harmonious and intense, Fang Zi'an decided to tell Qin Xiqing something that he had wanted to tell Qin Xiqing a long time ago.

"Xiqing, I have something to tell you, I hope you don't get angry." Fang Zi'an.

Qin Xiqing smiled: "What's the matter?" How can it make me angry? Have you done anything to be sorry for me? ”

Fang Zi'an said: "It's about Chunni." She and I already have a marriage covenant. Originally, if this hadn't happened, I would have asked a matchmaker to come and hire him. After thinking about it, I still have to be honest with you about this matter. I don't want to hide it from you, and I don't want to deceive you. ”

Qin Xiqing looked a little embarrassed, thought for a while, and said, "Actually, I already knew, although I don't think Chunni and you are a good match, but you are a person who values love and righteousness." Chunni has a deep affection for you, and you are unwilling to take anyone's shoulders. So you decided to marry her anyway, and that's what I expected. However, you don't think you're going to marry her. ”

Fang Zi'an shook his head and said, "It's the side room." Chunni says she only wants to be for the side room. ”

Qin Xiqing smiled and said: "I expected it to be the same, it's very good, Chunni is very simple and can take care of people, you marry her, and there is someone around you to take care of you." She's the kind of person who should be dead set on you. Congratulations. ”

Fang Zi'an scratched his head and said, "Aren't you angry?" ”

Qin Xiqing sighed and said, "Of course I'm not happy, who wants to share the person I love the most with others?" But the way of the world is like this, isn't it very common for a man to have three wives and four concubines? In this world, men are heavens, and we women are vassals of men, aren't they? ”

Fang Zi'an hurriedly said: "You must not think like this, I have never thought of you like this." If you don't like it in your heart, you can think about it in the long run. ”

Qin Xiqing smiled: "How to think about it in the long run? Is it possible that you want to reject Chunni? Zi'an, don't think about it too much, I'm not the kind of person who likes to be jealous. In fact, if I marry you in the future, I can only be a side chamber, so what right do I have to prevent you from taking a concubine? ”

Fang Zi'an was surprised: "Why? Can't I marry you? I'm thinking of marrying you. ”

Qin Xiqing smiled bitterly: "Zi'an, I am a dusty woman, how can I be a wife?" Unless you're just an ordinary person. An official of the imperial court is not allowed to marry a person of our status as the main house, and the law of the imperial court does not allow it. And I don't want you to be poked in the back. ”

Fang Zi'an frowned and said, "How is it possible?" What about Han Shizhong's wife, Liang? It is said that she is also from a Qinglou, why is she Han Shizhong's main room? ”

Qin Xiqing said: "That's different, Liang Hongyu is indeed Han Shumi's main room, but it was corrected after the death of Han Shumi's wife." When Han Shumi ransomed Liang Hongyu, he was just a concubine. What's more, Liang Hongyu has made meritorious contributions to the fight against Jin with Han's privy, and the court has another reward for her, and she has already been justified. After she became Han's secret wife, she was actually no longer a lowly status, but an official status. ”

Fang Zi'an suddenly realized that although he had not been in this era for a long time, Fang Zi'an still knew some things. For example, the so-called 'lowly nationality' in Qin Xiqing's mouth is a major feature of feudal society, and it is a characteristic of feudal era rule. There are many dark areas outside the normal people, such as farmers and businessmen, and some of them are called untouchables. Although the Great Song Dynasty was politically enlightened and civilized and progressive, it was already an extremely enlightened society for ordinary people, but the untouchable class was not eliminated, but it was better than the previous dynasty.

Specifically, the nobles, prostitutes, happy households, slaves, beggars, criminals, etc., all belong to the status of pariahs. In some places, they have even become untouchables because of the lowliness of their professions. Shaving the head, carrying the sedan chair, accompanying the party, etc., and even the soap servants of the yamen were untouchables in some dynasties.

Although the Great Song Dynasty was more enlightened and progressive than the previous dynasties, it was obvious that these people were untouchables, such as prostitutes, happy households, slaves, beggars, and criminals. Even if it is Qin Xiqing, even if she is famous in the world, she is still a lowly status and belongs to a prostitute. There's no way around it. Class classification is for class rule, which is the foundation of the feudal dynasty, and there is no way to change it. Equality for all is a luxury in such times, and indeed it is a luxury in any era.

The rights of untouched people are subject to many restrictions, such as the fact that untouched people are not allowed to study for the imperial examination, they are not allowed to marry people of high status, and they are not allowed to enjoy many preferential policies of the imperial court for the common people. In the harsh days of the past, untouchables were not even allowed to wear fancy clothes, and they could not walk in the middle of the road. It is also very difficult to get rid of the lowly status, and it will take several generations of precipitation for the chief, or the meritorious service will be rewarded by the imperial court, or the master's family is willing to take the initiative to give the slave freedom, and it must be recognized by the government. In the matter of marriage matching, the Great Song Dynasty has actually made great progress in the policy of untouchables, only stipulating that court officials and people with noble status are not allowed to marry prostitutes and good as their wives, which is okay for ordinary people. Therefore, unless Fang Zian does not participate in the imperial examination and is not an official, Qin Xiqing cannot be a wife.

"I understand, then if you don't take the imperial examination, I can't let you be wronged." Fang Zi'an said.

Qin Xiqing hurriedly said: "That's not possible, then I won't become a sinner who delays your future." How do you teach me how to live with peace of mind? Zi'an, you don't have to mind, I just want to be able to stay with you, and my identity is not important to me. If you give up the imperial examination for me, then my sin is too great, and I can't accept it in any way. In that case, I won't be able to marry you. ”

Fang Zi'an thought for a while and nodded: "This system is really harmful, don't worry, one day I will abolish this harmful thing." Or at the very least, I'm going to get you out of this so-called cheap status. Some people are high, but they are actually cheaper than untouchables, and they should be untouchables. ”

Qin Xiqing smiled: "I'm waiting for this day." However, if you tell me about Chunni, are you going to propose a marriage this time? ”

Fang Zi'an nodded slowly and said, "I promised her, I suddenly disappeared for so long during this time, I don't know what she thinks in her heart." I think that's the way it should be. ”

Qin Xiqing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll prepare this for you." You choose a day, and I'll go with you. ”

Fang Zi'an was surprised: "You accompany me to the next hire?" ”

Qin Xiqing smiled: "What? Isn't it possible? I also want to get to know Chunni well. After all...... She's first, I'm last, and I'd like to get her permission in the future. ”

Fang Zi'an was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "When you say this, I feel even more sad in my heart. ”

Fang Zi'an finally realized a problem at this moment, it turned out that it was not so easy to enjoy the blessings of all people. I wasn't prepared for that at all. In the future, if there is a fire in the back house, if they do not tolerate each other, they are really helpless. Perhaps it is necessary to make it clear in advance that mutual understanding and rapprochement are necessary.

"That being the case, I'm no longer pretentious. I'm going to go tomorrow, and if you really want to come, come with me. ”

"Yes!" Qin Xiqing said softly.

Fang Zi was ashamed and pitiful, got up and saluted Qin Xiqing respectfully: "Xiqing, Fang Zi'an can't help you." We sincerely apologize to you. ”

Qin Xiqing looked at Fang Zi'an with a smile and said, "Zi'an, if you care so much about my feelings, I'm afraid that you will have to fight me every day in the future." Aren't there many women like you who like you in the future? Are you going to be a worm? ”

Fang Zi'an said: "No, I won't be so greedy." ”

Qin Xiqing shook her head and said, "Don't be full of words." Well, you can do it to me again. ”

Fang Zi'an said: "What? ”

Qin Xiqing said: "Because I also have something to tell you, how about I take another concubine for you?" ”

Fang Zi'an was stunned and stunned.
