Once upon a time, Li Su was heartbroken by the lack of traditional virtues in his previous life, the kind of husband buried himself in studying to test his fame, and the wife was worried about the lack of soft girls with red sleeves and fragrance around her husband, and she was busy marrying a concubine for her husband, but the husband did not raise his head with the book, and lightly ordered "Wash the white and strip naked and throw me on the bed"......

What a beautiful and traditional life, after a thousand years, all this virtue has been lost, and there is a bunch of dross left in the culture, not to mention that the wife takes the initiative to take a concubine for her husband, and the wife will immediately turn the table and turn her face when the taste of the husband's cooking is a little weaker. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At first glance, when he heard that Xu Mingzhu and his father-in-law planned to take the initiative to take a concubine for himself, Li Su's heart was full of relief and surprise for a moment. Throughout the ages, no matter whether rich or poor, no matter how infatuated and single-minded men are, dissecting the unsightly corner of their hearts, they have a kind of stealing fantasy about "three wives and four concubines", not that they don't love their wives, but that they desire to have many wives who love him, which has nothing to do with love, and is purely determined by the genes of male animals.

Since the beginning of primitive society, male apes and female apes began to live in caves in groups, with male apes responsible for hunting and picking fruits, and female apes responsible for giving birth to babies and ...... Washing diapers? This is the earliest "male protagonist outside the female protagonist", at that time there was no such thing as "love" between men and women, and there was no so-called chaste morality, many times the male ape took a piece of meat may be able to exchange for a glimpse of the female ape's ten thousand styles, and the blood basin grinned, and the smile was extremely charming. Gradually, the male ape found that if he worked diligently and hunted a few more prey, he could compete with different female apes every night, and even possess more female apes, which became the driving force for the male apes to work hard and actively learn to create and use production and hunting tools to improve efficiency......

The topic is far away, and the possessiveness of male animals towards the opposite sex is probably like this.

Li Su is a man, and he is a very normal man, it is undeniable that he has also fantasized about the days of three wives and four concubines and the groom night and night, but after the initial relief and surprise, Li Su quickly regained his senses.

Why is the life of the Li family so peaceful and happy?

Aside from the reason why the head of the family is lazy and does not want to make progress, the most important thing is that the number of wives in the backyard is extremely scarce, avoiding many open and secret fights, which saves Li Su a lot of heart, if he doesn't know the bottom of a group of women with unknown temperament and temperament stuffed into the backyard of the Li family, Li Su dares to guarantee that within three days, the backyard will be chickens and dogs, and then he will take the initiative to help Xu Mingzhu throw the concubines who have just entered the door into the well.

Looking at the complicated expression of his father-in-law Xu Jingshan, Li Su smiled.

"How many concubines does the father-in-law plan to give his son-in-law Zhang Luo?" Li Su said with a wink.

"Huh? Small table...... How many rooms? Isn't one room enough? Xu Jingshan's face became more and more ugly.

Things are a little tangled, their daughter is the wife and mother of the Li family, thousands of pampering alone, the relationship between husband and wife is also the time of strong affection, this time to take the initiative to give his son-in-law Zhang Luomei concubine, to compete for his daughter's favor, this thing does not look like a human thing from any point of view, the father adds to the blockage of his daughter, this kind of father is also drunk......

Li Su didn't see the ugly face of the old man, and said seriously: "According to the system, the concubines of the county dukes are supported by the imperial court, and they can raise eight, and the province in the palace will pay salaries every year. And it is also a reasonable and legal overlord chicken, if you don't eat this chicken, your son-in-law will not be able to sleep well! ”

Xu Jingshan's forehead was slightly sweaty, he raised his sleeves and wiped it indiscriminately, and said, "What does the virtuous son-in-law mean...... Do you want to marry eight? This one...... Ah, can you stand it? ”

Li Su's chest snapped: "The son-in-law is the age of the dragon and the tiger, you have to have confidence in the son-in-law, the son-in-law has this strength!" ”

After speaking, Li Su also threw an evil look at Xu Jingshan that all men understand.

Xu Jingshan's cheeks twitched fiercely.

If it weren't for the fact that this son-in-law's status was too high, and there were still two rows of wolf-like tigers standing outside the gate, he would have slapped him a long time ago.

Eight concubines enter the door, how bitter will my daughter's life be in the future,...... Scumbag!

…………

Seeing Xu Jingshan, whose face was blue but couldn't get a seizure, left quickly, Li Su stood at the door and smiled.

The old guy is full of food and is in a panic, so adding a block to him can be regarded as a little ripple of boring life.

Sending the old man out of the door in person, Li Su turned around and went back to the inner courtyard.

A simple swing was set up in the middle of a green meadow in the inner courtyard, Xu Mingzhu sat on the swing in a purple shirt, swaying for a while, looking a little haggard, staring blankly at a pond not far away, not knowing what he was thinking, and occasionally let out an inaudible sigh, full of resentment.

Li Su stood not far away and watched quietly for a long time.

Life is too dull, often unconsciously ignore the love of husband and wife, the original strong love was washed away by the years, and gradually transformed into a light as clear water-like family affection, this kind of family affection is more reliable than the fierce and magnificent love, more down-to-earth, however, it is still too dull after all, so light that it is the same with or without it, as if there is just one more person who has a partner to live in half a life, like fireworks, after the initial moment of dazzling brilliance, all passion disappears in the boundless darkness.

Most couples have come over like this all their lives, and Li Su is too.

Unconsciously standing in such a high position, talking about laziness and leisure, but there are always countless troubles and things to be solved waiting for him, whether it is for the country or for the family, he finally ignores the people closest to him.

Gently stepping forward, Xu Mingzhu was still immersed in his own sorrow and did not notice him.

Li Su looked at it quietly for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I only hate that our pond is too small, and I can't carry Mrs. so many sorrows......

Xu Mingzhu was startled, seeing that Li Su had walked behind him at some point, but he didn't notice it, Xu Mingzhu's face was slightly red, and he hurriedly saluted.

"The concubine is slow to treat her husband, don't blame the husband."

Li Su took her hand and gently rubbed it in his palm.

Xu Mingzhu's hands are a little cold, and the finger tips are also a little rough, for him, Xu Mingzhu crossed the desert back and forth, and suffered a lot during that time, some scars can not even be erased for a lifetime, so they remain on their hands permanently, and they were originally a pair of slender hands as white as jade, but they left a few not very good-looking scars.

Li Su's heart was moved, every time he held her not very good-looking hands, he would always think of the lonely and stubborn figure in the yellow sand, crossing thousands of miles of desert back and forth, risking a U-turn, and risking everything just to save his life.

Now that her husband has become famous, she is worried that her husband will be ridiculed because there is no concubine at home, so she took the initiative to take a concubine for him.

Her heart is full of him. Think for him, worry for him, live for him, die for him.

Such a woman actually tied the knot with him in this life, how fortunate Li Su is.

Holding her face, Li Su lightly tapped her nose, and Xu Mingzhu subconsciously wrinkled her nose, very cute.

"Tsk, this little face is worried, it's enough to make a bowl of ecstasy rice, if you have anything on your mind, tell your husband."

Xu Mingzhu lowered his head and said softly: "How can the concubine have any heart, the husband has just been promoted to the county prince, and the concubine has also been promoted, our family is thriving, and the concubine is very happy." ”

Li Su smiled: "I was so happy that my nose and eyes were twisted together, and this happy appearance is rare." ”

Xu Mingzhu couldn't help but slap him, and said angrily: "The husband is laughing at the concubine again......"

Li Su sighed and said, "The father-in-law came just now, you should know, right?" ”

Xu Mingzhu nodded: "It was the concubine who invited him." ”

Li Su blinked: "What do you mean by taking a concubine?" ”

Xu Mingzhu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "The husband is already a county prince, but there is only one concubine in the family......"

Li Su interrupted her words and said, "Don't say those big truths, I only ask you, if your husband really takes a concubine, are you really happy in your heart?" ”

Xu Mingzhu's pretty face turned white, and then sighed faintly, and said: "It doesn't matter if the concubine is happy or not, the husband is a capable person, he was crowned the county prince in his twenties, our family is already the family of the high-ranking magnates in Chang'an City, the husband is so young and in a high position, it is the time when the Li family is spreading its branches, although the concubine has been married to the husband for several years, but there are no heirs so far, many powerful women in Chang'an City have gossip, and the concubine knows that the husband's affection has not changed, but the concubine really doesn't know how to deal with herself......"

Li Su frowned and said: "Whether our family will have children or not, when will they be born, what do they have to do with other people's families?" To each of you live your own life, why should you care about other people's gossip? ”

Xu Mingzhu's eyes turned red, and he said: "Living is not a monk, we are in the red dust after all, how can we not care about other people's gossip?" ”

Li Su sighed: "We only need firewood, rice, oil and salt in our days, and we shouldn't live in other people's mouths. Mingzhu, it's not a good thing to be obsessed too deeply, life is like a white horse passing by, fleeting, try to let go of your heart, look at the scenery on the side of the road, wait until we are old, sit by the well in the yard and reminisce together, we have passed by a mountain and a river in a certain year and a month, and have experienced a snow, a rain, or a certain day in a certain year, I tripped on the road, I laughed, you cried...... These are the most precious things in our lives, and the rest are not important at all. ”

Xu Mingzhu said something clearly, hung his head and was silent for a long time, and then said: "The husband has gone too fast over the years, and the concubine feels more and more ...... I can't keep up with my husband, I ...... Very scared. ”

Li Su was stunned, and then smiled.

In the final analysis, because he was suddenly promoted to the county princess, Xu Mingzhu was caught off guard, and then had a strong inferiority complex, so he suffered from gains and losses, and gave him Zhang Luomei as a concubine.

Holding her cold hand, Li Su led her slowly along the edge of the pond.

"Madam, you, you have a demon in your heart, that's why you will lose an inch, do you know why there is a demon in your heart?"

Xu Mingzhu's eyes widened and he shook his head.

Li Su smiled suddenly, snorted, and said, "Because it's idle!" ”

Xu Mingzhu was stunned: "............"

Ignoring her expression, Li Su walked very slowly, but the hand holding her never let go.

The husband and wife walked in silence and slowness, and there was no one around, and it was quiet.

Li Su kept saying words in his mind, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said slowly: "There are a lot of inputs in the family, such as liquor workshops, perfume workshops, and greenhouses and green vegetables, etc., these inputs are not a problem to maintain the expenses of our family, but the income cannot only maintain the expenses, we have to leave some family funds for future generations, even if there are two losers in the future, the family funds left behind must be enough for him to lose for a lifetime......

Xu Mingzhu looked at him puzzled, as if she didn't understand why Li Su suddenly told her about this.

Li Su looked at her and smiled, and said: "There are a lot of items, but there are some messy, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes and omissions, the father-in-law has had a bad year, the year before last I was involved in the tea business, involved in the life lawsuit, our family should also make up for him, so ah, I plan to give him the liquor workshop, perfume workshop, greenhouse green vegetables, and tea, etc., all to take care of him, we will not treat him badly, all the income is divided into two percent, not only can maintain expenses every year, but also have a surplus, and it is worthy of the father-in-law......

Xu Mingzhu's eyes widened in surprise, and he said: "Husband, although the concubine is the daughter of the Xu family, she is now also the Li family, husband...... It doesn't have to be that way. ”

Li Su said with a smile: "Madame, don't get me wrong, I'm not giving alms to my father-in-law, but asking my father-in-law to help, now I have suddenly become the county princess, and there are more and more people staring at me in the court, and the county government's participation in the business is not very decent after all, and it is inevitable that it will be criticized, and it will be logical to hand it over to the father-in-law, even if it is to ask the father-in-law to give our family a cover, although everyone knows whose family the transaction is, but the layer of window paper still has to be pasted and cannot be torn." ”

Xu Mingzhu's red lips snorted a few times, and she stopped talking, and finally nodded silently.

Li Su took her hand and continued to walk, and continued: "In the future, we must also make a plan, not only save money, but also invest the money, and after the spring sowing, the family will send a few parts to go out, Lingnan, Longyou, and all the state capitals in Guannai will go to see, if there is cheap land, you may wish to buy some, and then build some Zhuangzi in various places, the current policy of the imperial court is to encourage the development of wasteland, we are not taboo to buy land, but to choose that kind of wasteland and fertile land, it doesn't matter if it is remote, the main thing is to call more villagers, labor is the most critical, Mrs. knows that I am lazy on weekdays, The family affairs are all handled by you, I will leave this matter to you, ask me if you don't understand, but don't ask too often, it's okay to make some mistakes, just don't hurt your muscles and bones......"

Xu Mingzhu's expression became more and more stunned, Li Su talked to her about the topic today was obviously beyond her expectations, these family matters he rarely mentioned in the past, usually when he was the shopkeeper, the family guarded the income of those workshops, Xu Mingzhu did not have too long-term investment vision, at this moment Li Su suddenly mentioned the future planning of the family, Xu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly became serious, the sorrow and resentment on Fang Cai's face had already disappeared without a trace, at this time Xu Mingzhu seemed to be the upright appearance of the Li family's housewife, With a serious attitude like a sacred mission, he began to think about the future industrial strategy of the Li family.

Li Su looked at her little face with a serious look, couldn't help laughing, coughed twice, and continued: "Madame knows that the former crown prince Li Chengqian failed in his rebellion last year, and the prince of the East Palace has been hanging for a long time. ”

Xu Mingzhu's thoughts were interrupted, and when she saw Li Su suddenly talking to her about this topic, she couldn't help but be taken aback again, and said with a panicked expression: "The concubine is just a woman's family, why does the husband ask me about state affairs?" Don't scare the concubine, the husband has always had an idea, you decide the state affairs yourself, you don't need to ask the concubine's ......"

Li Su said with a smile: "The left and right are all husband and wife chatting, what can't you say?" Whatever you want. ”

Xu Mingzhu hesitated and hung his head silently.

Li Su continued: "The future prince of the Tang Dynasty is very important, not only Your Majesty must carefully select, but those of us who are courtiers must also think twice, everything is too early, there are pros and cons, standing too early, in case you find yourself standing in the wrong place, it is difficult to even turn around, you can't avoid the disaster of killing in the future, stand too late, the situation is obvious and then choose to stand in line, although you will not stand in the wrong place, but the people in front of you have eaten the meat, the soup has also been drunk, there is not even a little scum left, but you will be suspicious and even resentful by the emperor, the same, It will also bring you death, so standing in line sooner or later, when to stand, which side to stand, this needs to grasp the heat and timing, a little earlier, a little later, a little left, a little right, and the final result may be very different......"

Li Suxu babbled a lot, Xu Mingzhu couldn't help it, and said, "Why did the husband say this to the concubine?" Concubinage...... I really don't understand. ”

Li Su said with a smile: "If you don't understand, just listen to it, just like if you go to the temple to listen to the monk chanting the scriptures, can you understand?" It's just a matter of listening to the excitement. ”

Xu Mingzhu nodded and was silent again.

Li Su seemed to want to make her inexplicable all the way to the end today, and actually continued to talk about the court.

“…… So, the last time the King of Wei recruited me, I rejected him, for no other reason, the time and the time has not come, the person who laughs the most now may be him, the world knows that he must be the future prince of the East Palace, but what everyone believes is not necessarily the truth, it is useless to laugh more and more happily now, the key depends on who laughs last, the person who laughs at the end is the one who laughs the best, in my opinion, His Royal Highness the King of Wei may have laughed too early, and laughed a little forgetful, madam, you have to remember, no matter at any time, the first person to laugh forgetful, is often the last loser, if you meet this kind of person, you must stay away from him, in case you are struck by lightning and hurt the innocent, you are not cost-effective......"

Xu Mingzhu sneered, and then gave him a blank look: "Husband, this mouth......

Li Su laughed twice, and suddenly said, "Madame, do you know why I want to tell you this?" ”

Xu Mingzhu shook his head and looked at him suspiciously.

Li Su looked her in the eyes and said slowly: "Because I want my wife to know what I am doing and what I am thinking, whether it is family affairs or state affairs." …… Mrs. said that I was walking too fast and couldn't keep up with me, so I walked slower, waited for you, held you, supported you, husband and wife are lifelong fellow travelers, how can I bear to let you chase too hard? ”

Xu Mingzhu froze, then his eyes quickly reddened, and finally he suddenly hugged him mercilessly, threw himself into his arms and cried loudly.
