After breakfast, Xue Tao came to Dugu Youlan's room, Dugu was more than seven months pregnant, and her body was relatively heavy, she was lazy these months and didn't want to move.

"Let's go out for a walk."

"Sister, I'm too lazy to move!"

"No, just for the sake of the child in the belly, you have to walk more."

This sentence is useful, for the sake of the child, Dugu Youlan had to get up and follow Xue Tao to walk slowly downstairs, they didn't go far, just paced in the garden downstairs.

"The eldest sister wants to tell me about picking spring!" Dugu Youlan said lightly.

"How do you know?" Xue Tao asked with a smile.

"I saw it in the morning, she and her husband have a tacit understanding, she peeked at her husband at least ten times, and the love in her eyes was difficult to hide."

"No wonder you're sour."

Dugu Youlan shook her head, "I can't talk about it!" I may have been uncomfortable before, but now that I have figured it out, even if there is no Liu Caichun, there will be Li Caichun, Zhang Caichun, with the status of a husband, it is impossible to have only three women, I am weather, can I be angry? ”

"It's as simple as that?"

Dugu Youlan sighed softly, "I'm a bit stupid, I've always been a little bit of an afterthought, my husband has been out for two months, he won't write to you, but he also wrote to Minqiu, but he didn't write to me, I'm still pregnant!" Even if he doesn't care about me, shouldn't he care about the child? ”

"My husband cares about you, and he asked me to take good care of you."

"No, maybe he just cares about the child, he doesn't care about me, until I accidentally found the letter that my husband wrote to her on Minqiu's desk a few days ago, I didn't know that my husband ....... me"

Speaking of this, Dugu Youlan's eyes turned red, she bit her lip and said: "I know that I entered the door because of a political marriage, and my father forced him to accept me as a flat wife at that time, and my husband has always felt uncomfortable in his heart, but I don't want to do this, he can't treat me like this." ”

Speaking of this, Dugu Youlan's tears fell, and she threw herself into Xue Tao's arms and cried mournfully.

Xue Tao gently patted Dugu Youlan on the back, she didn't know what to say, she knew her husband very well, and there was no room for sand in her eyes, back then, the Dugu family insisted that Dugu Youlan be a flat wife and enjoy the treatment of a wife, which has always been a thorn in the husband's heart, fortunately, Dugu Youlan herself is virtuous, and this matter was not mentioned, but Xue Tao felt that the root was not in the political marriage, but in Dugu Youlan's own problems.

"Youlan, you take the initiative yourself, your husband wrote a letter to Minqiu, I guess Minqiu wrote the letter first, she cares about her husband and asks for warmth, but you are very lazy and refuse to write, even I take the initiative to write letters, Xiaowei also writes to her father every day, although not a letter has been sent, but her father knows, can her father not love this daughter?"

Dugu Youlan wiped away her tears, nodded and said, "The eldest sister is right, the main reason is that my personality is relatively cold, and I am not very good at pleasing others. ”

"He's no one else, he's your husband, he has so many feelings, and there are a lot of women around him, give her more, give you less, you don't take the initiative to care about him, do you still expect him to take the initiative to care about you? Minqiu is so favored, it's not for nothing, she is much more dedicated than you and me in that regard. ”

Dugu Youlan muttered in a low voice: "The main thing is that Minqiu's goblin figure, the waist is so thin, but the bottom is so big and round, can the husband not like her?" ”

"Isn't that what happened? People are not animals, people talk about feelings, and I never indulge him, but it doesn't mean that I don't care about him, care is the accumulation of bits and pieces, and after many years, it will become very deep. ”

Xue Tao saw Dugu Youlan thoughtful, and continued to persuade: "Youlan, you must change yourself, learn to care about your husband, don't always use political marriage as an excuse, if you are a fire, the other party will not be ice, if you are cold ice, the other party's fire will also be extinguished, don't blame me for not reminding you, if you continue to be so cold, after Cai Chun enters the house, you will still be marginalized." ”

Xue Tao sent Dugu Youlan back to her room, let her think about it alone, she returned to her room, and then asked the maid to find Minqiu.

Although Minqiu is very favored by her husband, she is still afraid of Xue Tao in her bones, and she has no status in front of Xue Tao.

"Eldest sister, are you looking for me?" Minqiu stood in front of Xue Tao and asked in a low voice.

Xue Tao looked at Min Qiu with a teacup, and found that she had indeed changed too much, when she served herself, she was still a pure and beautiful little lady, and now she can no longer see her former pure appearance.

In Dugu Youlan's words, Minqiu has indeed become very charming, and her makeup is very thick, especially the exaggerated proportions of her body, her breasts are very large, and when you look at it from behind, her waist is very thin, but the two petals below..... It grows big and round.

"Do you still have a relationship with your sister-in-law?"

"My brother and I don't have contact anymore, but my sister-in-law comes by chance, either to ask for money or to talk to me, and they are afraid that I will abandon them."

"What do you say in general?" Xue Tao continued to ask silently.

"I didn't say anything special, just the parents, talking about the children, and the interesting things that happened on Xi'anmen Street."

"Did you talk about Liu Caichun?" Xue Tao asked suddenly.

Min Qiu's face changed slightly, and he said for a while: "I can't remember." ”

"Humph! That's it, what did your sister-in-law teach you? ”

Min Qiu lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

"Actually, if you don't say it, I can guess it, she must tell you that Cai Chun sleeps with the powerful everywhere, and she has already been a broken flower and a willow, isn't it?"

Min Qiu hurriedly shook her head, "Eldest sister, she doesn't dare to say this, and I don't allow it, my sister-in-law just said that it is rumored that she and Wei Yingwu have an ambiguous relationship in Jiangnan." ”

"You asked her to investigate, didn't you?"

"I didn't let her go, I just said that Caichun was going to enter the room, and I was worried that I would fall out of favor, and then they ran to investigate on their own."

Xue Tao said coldly: "I'll warn you one last time, if your sister-in-law dares to stir up the relationship between this family again, I will beat them back to their original form, and they are so poor that they go to the street to beg for food, if you don't believe it, just watch and see!" ”

Min Qiu trembled with fright, and said in a low voice: "Eldest sister, I was wrong! ”

"I can't see that you are very scheming, on the surface you are very enthusiastic about Caichun, but behind the scenes, you say bad things about her on the pillow of your husband, Minqiu, I bought you back then, I just think you are simple, smart, and a plastic little lady, I am afraid that you will be bullied, and I will bring you with me when I get married, but now..... You look at what you have become, you are thinking about how to please your husband every day, you think that you can charm your husband with your figure, you don't want to think about it, what if he is disgusted with you one day? ”

Min Qiu knelt down and cried: "Eldest sister, I am the husband who is disgusted with me, so I am afraid of Cai Chun entering the door." ”

Xue Tao shook his head, "You have gone astray, okay, after Caichun enters, I have to set the rules, and now I don't want to say anything about you, you must follow the rules in the future, heavy makeup is not allowed in the palace, including the number of times you have sex with your husband at night, if you dare to violate the rules, see how I punish you severely!" ”

Seeing Min Qiu crying and leaving, Xue Tao ordered someone to find the head of the inner palace and said to him: "Gonggong Yang, I now set a rule, in the future, my relatives and family members, no matter who comes, must get my consent before they can enter the palace, without my consent, no one is allowed to enter the palace, including my parents." ”

"The old slave understands, the old slave will definitely explain it and strictly abide by it!"

..........

In the afternoon of the same day, Xue Tao and Liu Caichun had a meeting and officially expressed their hope that she could become a member of their family.

The next morning, when the family got together for breakfast, Liu Caichun implicitly expressed her attitude that she was willing to live like this with everyone forever.

Xue Tao immediately asked Li Wenyu to be the matchmaker and asked Liu Caichun's father to marry Caichun.

Liu's father agreed to the Guo family's marriage proposal, and generously proposed that he did not want any financial gifts, but Xue Tao still gave him 10,000 yuan and five shops on Xi'anmen Street as financial gifts.

The process of taking a concubine is much simpler than marrying a wife, and the two most important points are that the qualifications for taking a concubine are required, the scholar must have a meritorious name, the martial artist must have military merits, and the merchant must pay taxes and donate money to a certain amount.

The second point of taking a concubine is that the eldest woman must accept it, if the wife does not agree, then she can only secretly raise other house women, she can't enter the door, she has no name, she can't participate in the sacrifice, and the child she gives birth to is also an illegitimate child.

As long as these two points are satisfied, you can directly sit in a small sedan chair and enter the door from the backyard at night, and you can't even go to the main entrance, which is more humiliating.

However, Xue Tao still gave Liu Caichun face, asked Li Wenyu to be a matchmaker, and proposed to Liu's father, which had the words of the matchmaker and the order of his parents, and gave a financial gift, which is no different from the Ming media marrying.

Of course, after all, it is not the Ming media who is marrying, so Liu Caichun did not go home, and he can't talk about which door he came in.

Three days later, Xue Tao held a simple ceremony in the palace of the Jin Dynasty, and Guo Song took her ancestors to worship with her, and accepted Liu Caichun into the door, making her officially Guo Song's second concubine.

There were very few people who participated in the ceremony, except for Liu Caichun's father, Zhang Lei and his wife, and Guo Ping, no one else was invited, after worshipping the ancestors, Xue Tao sat in the main hall, and took the tea offered by Liu Caichun in front of everyone, even if he recognized Liu Caichun's legal status.
