Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Eight: A Woman's Choice
What he said was roughly the same as what Steward Yun said, "You focus on what happened to this Master Zhuo." ”
"Master Zhuo? Now in Xihe Prefecture to do the general judgment, because Xihe Prefecture and the real country is close, probably because of the fear of border instability and disaster to the family, Master Zhuo took the concubine to the post, the old lady, the eldest lady and the children are all raised in Jiyang City. I was able to come back today, probably because Mrs. Zhuo was seriously ill. ”
"Is Old Madam Zhuo very sick?"
"Seeing Master Zhuo come back from leave all the way, it should be very heavy, and today I have the kung fu to bring the little young master out, I think his condition has improved."
"Master Zhuo's romantic tent when he was young, can you remember what the cloud shopkeeper remembers?"
The cloud shopkeeper is stagnant. I said it in detail enough, but I didn't expect the little master to be young, and the focus was on the romantic account of others when they were young! Is this going to be crooked? sighed in my heart: The master is gone, and it is difficult for the little master to grow alone! I want to talk to Steward Yun when I go back, and persuade the little master to study hard.
But when the little master asked, he said that he would learn from him, and he said lightly: "The little master also saw that Master Zhuo was beautiful in appearance, and he was famous when he was young, so naturally he couldn't avoid some romantic accounts." Now, about the age of getting older, I have taken care of it, acted steadily, treated kindly, and was more like a parent official. ”
Yun Shu was not satisfied with the simplicity of the cloud shopkeeper. "Be detailed."
Yun Guan was helpless, "The most famous is a dancing girl with the melodious building in the city." This incident was full of turmoil in Jiyang City at that time. ”
That's it! Dancer!! Yun Shu's eyes lit up.
"Melodious Lou is a famous song and dance building in Jiyang City, inside, inside," the cloud shopkeeper saw that Yun Shu's eyes lit up, and changed to a relatively simple statement, "At that time, Master Zhuo was still very young, and he and his friends accidentally went to Melodious Building to relax, and met a dancing girl." ”
"What's the name of the dancer?" Yun Shu couldn't hold back his excitement and asked.
Steward Yun frowned slightly and said, "It's been too long, I can't remember clearly." ”
Yunshu realized that he was overzealous. "Then you go on."
The cloud housekeeper tries to simplify the story as much as possible, so as not to bring the little master to ruin.
"Master Zhuo ransomed the dancing girl behind his back and raised her as an outer house. At the beginning, there were not many people who knew about it, probably because Master Zhuo's friend drank too much, and talked eloquently for a while, what a talented and beautiful woman, stories such as red sleeves and fragrance, etc., were the most popular, and I don't know how it spread. Master Zhuo bought a foreign house before he got married, and he found out about it less than a year after his wife entered the door.
Mrs. Zhuo is the eldest daughter of Lord Liu's family in Yizhou Zhizhou, Liu Mengzhi, and she is a powerful one. The face was not moving, and someone secretly probed the outer house, and smashed it at the door. The Zhuo family who married Lord Liu's family at that time was Gao Pan, and the old man Zhuo still frequently went to the outer house for trysts soon after he got married, and even made the family house restless, and the old lady of the Zhuo family couldn't tolerate the outer house. Later, Master Zhuo didn't know where to send the outer house, and he never appeared in Jiyang City again. ”
Steward Yun continued with a hard head, "The little master bears the hope of the Yun family, but he should take it as a warning. ”
Yunshu couldn't help but laugh, "I'll remember." In order to change the topic, Yun Shu mentioned, "This year, entering December, the stewards of the Yun family's shops and granges will go to the Yun Mansion to give accounts and give plans for the coming year." Cloud Steward has explained, right? ”
"Confessed, confessed." In the past, it was just enough to pay the account, but this year you still have to give a plan for the next year? It's still going to be a little bothersome.
"Well, that's good. It's not too early, so I'll go back first. ”
"Can you arrange someone to send the little master back?"
"No need."
Yun Shu and Yu Hong walked out of the library pavilion, thinking all the way. "Brother Hong, I have a question."
"Say."
"I know it's often not in line with the ethics in the book. But if a man has more than one woman as a wife and concubine at the same time, can a woman have more than one man... Is it? ”
Yu Hong's footsteps froze, and he frowned: "What are you thinking about in this head?" Can such a question be asked? ”
Yun Shu knew that this was wrong, but she really wanted to figure it out. "I always felt that my mother went with my father because she couldn't give up on him; And Xie Guanniang was obsessed with Lord Zhuo, so she took Miss Zhuo to live alone in the mountain village, instead of remarrying. Is it true that only women have such a deep obsession, and men, pleasing women are like flipping books, and you can read more if you like them, not because you have to have which one? ”
"Are you worried?"
"Worried?" Yun Shu's face flushed, "It's just that I thought of this question and couldn't figure it out." Thinking about it, she did start to worry.
"What would you do if it were you?"
"If he had chosen someone else, I probably wouldn't have relied on him anymore."
"What if he chooses you?"
"I will not leave."
"Wouldn't you be sad that he chose someone else?"
"So what? He doesn't care. Whether I am sad or I like it, it's all my business. ”
"You don't have the answer."
"But, but I'm asking a man."
"It's probably the same."
It's actually very different. As long as a man has the ability, he can even have all kinds of wives and concubines like a collection. Take a look at what you like, and throw aside what you don't like, and keep it as a plaything. It's just that there are groups of wives and concubines, and there may not be one who can win the sincerity of the male host.
For men, it doesn't matter whether they have sustenance or not, and they regard enjoying sex and desire as a great joy in life; Women are more sincere and ask the other party to be sincere, and when they can't get it, they will have all kinds of weird and dark thoughts.
If Mei'er can really be as free and easy as she said, it is also a good thing.
"Why probably?"
"I haven't experienced it again."
"I see. When Brother Hong went through it, can you tell me? ”
“。。。”
When we are young, our words are often simple and sincere, but when we are faced with a choice, it may not be so simple. Then it will form layers of regrets, and regrets are far more than wishes, which is life. It's just that now they don't know.
Chang'an Lane, inside Li's house.
Because Yun Qi sent Yun Shu's post the day before, Li Zhuying and his wife were very busy, calling their three sons, together with their daughter-in-law, two grandsons, and one granddaughter, back, and the cold Li Mansion was very lively for a while.
As soon as Yun Shu jumped out of the carriage, he was caught by Li Zhuying, rubbed his hair excitedly, pressed his shoulder, and said, "The tree is here!" That's nice! How did you lose weight? Living in the village still suffered. ”
Yun Shu was afraid of snubbing Yu Hong, and his other hand held him and didn't let go. "Uncle, I'm fine, I'm strong. This is Brother Hong, you've seen it. ”
Li Zhuying was only overjoyed when she saw Yun Shu, ignoring Yu Hong behind her, and being persistently pulled by Yun Shu, only to notice that she had neglected another guest. "Hong'er is here too, okay! Good! ”
Li Zhuying was so happy that she didn't know what to say, she glanced at Li Mingsi and patted her head, "Shu'er, this is your eldest cousin Mingsi, second cousin Mingcheng, this is your eldest cousin in front of your eldest cousin, Yuan'er, and Ya'er in front of your second cousin." ”
The appearance of the maternal grandfather's family is excellent, although the aunt's appearance is ordinary, it does not affect the three cousins at all. When mourning for his parents, although he had seen it, Yunshu was sad and messy at that time, and he didn't care about remembering people. This time, my uncle was excited and introduced her again, which was also excellent.
The eldest cousin is now twenty-four, tall, dignified, ruddy, high-spirited, looks like a family and the world in the chest, and now he is a man like his uncle. Next to her is her eldest daughter who is five or six years old, Yuxue is cute, holding three or four-year-old Yuan'er, who is smart and lively.
The second cousin is just and weak, he is a showman, dressed in a scholar's green shirt, very green and young, and the young son Ya'er in his arms is babbling, cute and soft.
The third cousin is obviously also a showman, although he is thin, he loves to laugh the most, and he has been bending his crescent-like eyebrows since he saw Yunshu, he likes this little cousin very much.
Yun Shu followed his uncle's introduction, the eldest cousin, the second cousin, and the third cousin, and did not forget to introduce Yu Hong to all the cousins.
Today's visit to her uncle is one thing, she also wants to take Yu Hong to feel the excitement between relatives, if he can talk to the third cousin clearly, it is also excellent for the senior brother to make friends of the same age. They are all lonely people, and if they can have a bit of excitement, they will share a share with their senior brothers.
Before everyone saw the ceremony, Li Xu, who had been busy in the kitchen, rushed over from the courtyard, "Why don't you enter the house?" What is the pestle doing outside? patted Li Zhuying's arm and said angrily: "You are also stupid!" ”
"It's really silly, come into the house, get into the house."
Two women came in with teacups.
Li Xu introduced: "This is your eldest cousin, this is your second cousin." ”
Yunshu looked at it as he said. The so-called eldest cousin has a plump figure, a pale complexion, a generous and refreshing smile, and at first glance she is a capable housewife. The second cousin-in-law is thinner, with elegant eyebrows and eyes, and gentle manners.
Although Yunshu is a guest, in terms of etiquette, although he and his cousin-in-law are the same generation, after all, he is older than her, how can he be worthy of the other party holding tea in person. After thinking about it, it was about the credit of the 200 acres of land that was used as a sacrificial product. However, such a disgrace without property, and a family with harmony and affection, is very heartwarming.
Yun Shu couldn't help but look at Yu Hong and smiled warmly at him, this warmth also wanted to be shared with him.
After seeing the ceremony, Yun Shu asked Yun Qi to bring all the gifts.
The last time I came to my uncle's house, it was just a whim, and I bought a nondescript and heart-filled gift. This time it was prepared by the cloud housekeeper, and the whole family has it. Among them, the gifts of uncles, cousins and nephews and nieces were double, and one was given in the name of Yu Hong. It means that Yun Shu takes a fancy to this senior brother very much, and hopes that his uncle and cousins will also take care of her senior brother.
Uncle and three cousins of the best four treasures of the four treasures and a set of the latest scientific research books, aunt and cousin each two pairs of blonde hairpins, four horses of cloud brocade. However, my uncle has two more sets of antique ornaments, a painting and calligraphy by the surname Li, and my aunt has an extra set of red gold heads. A few small ones are a gold lock and a jade lock.
Although Yun Shu felt that the gold and jade were not as interesting as the little gadgets bought on the street, his aunt's expression was much more excited than last time, and his uncle was in tears when he saw the "Rain Picture".
