Chapter 769: Traditional Virtues
Xu Jingshan has not had a good time recently. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the saying goes, "it's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree", most of the relatives of many nobles in power in the Tang Dynasty have nothing good, they are more selfish and greedy than ordinary people, and they are very snobbish.
Li Su felt fortunate that his father-in-law was a clear stream in the world of relatives in comparison, not only did he never rely on the Li family's bullying, but in order to avoid suspicion, he compromised and tolerated everywhere, and originally did a good deal, but because he was afraid of causing criticism to the Li family, his business plummeted and he almost went bankrupt. Later, Li Su handed over the family's tea business to Xu Jingshan, but after a few days, he was inexplicably involved in a life lawsuit, and the innocent father-in-law was invited to prison......
It can be seen that most of the eight characters of the father-in-law and son-in-law are criminals, Li Su has been promoted and made a fortune in recent years, but the father-in-law's family is unlucky everywhere, and the business that eats into the mouth can fly inexplicably.
It stands to reason that after all these years of bad luck, this old father-in-law should probably understand that he and his son-in-law are in a conflict with numerology, and he should hide and go on weekdays, but Xu Jingshan is not biased, and he actually took the initiative to come to the door today, which shows that the old man has true love for his son-in-law.
Although he was born in a businessman and his personality was a little cowardly, Li Su still personally greeted him out of the door according to the highest specifications, according to the old rules, two rows of neat and mighty troops lined up outside the door, and shouted "Wansheng" according to the knife, which still scared Xu Jingshan and almost peed his pants on the spot.
Entering the door, Li Su carried the trembling old man through the front yard into the front hall, the front hall sat down, Li Su ordered the maid to serve tea, and after a busy time, Xu Jingshan was shocked for a while.
Knowing that it was rude, Li Su couldn't help but glance out of the door, and found that the old man didn't bring a gift to the door, Li Su couldn't help but sigh in frustration.
The recent visitors are not good, not particular.
"My father-in-law has worked hard all the way, if you want to come to the house in the future, send someone to tell your son-in-law, and your son-in-law will send half a guard of honor to pick you ......up."
Xu Jingshan shook his head again and again: "Don't you dare to use the honor guard, don't you dare to use it, it was given to you by His Majesty the Emperor, I am afraid that a businessman will lose his life with the honor guard, and the government and the official will also participate in your crime, don't cause you a big trouble for this little thing, it's not worth it." ”
Li Su said with a smile: "It's okay, the half-guard of honor can't be overrun, and the official won't say anything, so the uncle is too worried...... I don't know if my father-in-law came here today to visit the pearl, or if it was ......"
Xu Jingshan didn't answer directly, but straightened up and looked around the front hall of the Li family, then smacked his lips and said: "The virtuous son-in-law has been promoted to the county prince, but it's amazing, the old lady feels glorious in Jingyang County, and the neighbors on the left and right come to congratulate each other, I heard that Mingzhu has also been promoted?" It's a second grade, right? ”
Li Su smiled: "Yes, it is a second-grade fate, the emperor's grace is vast, and the son-in-law deserves it......"
Xu Jingshan sighed, his tone full of envy: "The county prince in his twenties is rare in all dynasties!" The virtuous son-in-law is indeed the pillar of the country, and the future king will be able to tear the soil in the future. ”
"Uh, the son-in-law is fooling around......"
Xu Jingshan sighed again: "You and Mingzhu have been married for several years, right?" Why hasn't there been any movement in Mingzhu's belly? ”
"Huh? This, cough cough, this depends on fate, the son-in-law is not in a hurry. ”
Today's Xu Jingshan's thinking jumped a little, and Li Su suddenly cheered up and tried his best to keep up with the rhythm of his father-in-law.
Xu Jingshan really jumped again: "It's all closed to the county duke, your mansion should also be expanded, right?" I heard that the court allowed you to increase the height of the house by two feet, and since the court did not object, the virtuous son-in-law simply picked up the house and rebuilt it with a higher one, so as to show his identity. ”
"My son-in-law's house is very good, I've gotten used to it all these years, and I'm just going to be promoted to a county magistrate, so don't toss."
Xu Jingshan jumped again: "It is said that the old man gave birth to a good daughter, the virtuous son-in-law still doesn't know, when Mingzhu was born, the room was full of fragrance, and the Big Dipper was much brighter than usual...... It's not that the pearl looks beautiful, it's that her life is beautiful, the old Taoist priest said that she was extremely rich and noble in her life, and she was destined to be the life of Mrs. Guo, at that time, the old man and her mother didn't care, now in retrospect, isn't it exactly! ”
Li Su's cheeks twitched fiercely.
Plagiarize......
"You Fang Old Taoist Priest" or something, it's always been a stalk I've used, okay? If you pay attention to intellectual property rights these days, I will go to the government to sue you......
Following Xu Jingshan's words, Li Su said very cooperatively: "The son-in-law is still grateful to his mother-in-law for giving birth to such a good daughter as Mingzhu, IKEA and IKEA, affectionate and righteous, and it is a blessing to be able to marry her as a son-in-law......"
Seeing that Li Su knew him like this, Xu Jingshan showed a look of satisfaction, and then ...... Thoughts continue to pound.
"It's spring when you speak, today's wind is so noisy......"
Li Su sighed: "Zhangren, you ...... Jump a little slower, there should be at least a little logical connection between each sentence, my son-in-law really can't keep up with your rhythm......"
Looking at Xu Jingshan, Li Su smiled: "If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly, it's all a family, there's no need to beat around the bush, it's both brain-draining and emotional, what do you say?" ”
A hint of confusion flashed on Xu Jingshan's face, and he forced a smile: "There is indeed something ...... something."
Li Su said with a smile: "It doesn't hurt for the father-in-law to say it directly, and the son-in-law will not shirk what he can do." ”
Xu Jingshan hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard Mingzhu say that the virtuous son-in-law was crowned the county duke, and the imperial court allowed him to marry eight concubines?" ”
Li Su was stunned, and then said dumbfoundedly: "Huh? Yes! Seem...... There is such a thing. ”
Xu Jingshan sighed, and muttered in a dissatisfied voice: "What does the court think, eight concubines, and they are not afraid of squeezing the nobles' bodies dry, and the time is wasted on the bed, how can they serve the country and the people?" ”
Li Su: "............"
I can't answer this, and I can't answer it.
After a moment of wording, Li Su said cautiously: "Why did the father-in-law suddenly talk about this? ”
Xu Jingshan hesitated and said: "The old man married his daughter, whether he is doing well depends on the creation of the pearl, it is said that this is a family affair of the virtuous son-in-law, the old man should not talk much, but today is different from the past, the virtuous son-in-law is the county duke, he is already one of the few powerful people in the Tang Dynasty, and he is deeply favored by the saints, seeing that the Li family is about to soar into the sky, rich and rich for a hundred generations......
Li Su sighed and said with a wry smile: "Zhangren, you better say it directly, the son-in-law can't keep up with the rhythm again, what do you want to say?" ”
Xu Jingshan's face was obscure, and he sighed: "The virtuous son-in-law and Mingzhu have a deep relationship with each other, and the old man is very relieved, however, since he is the county prince, there should be the rules and pomp of the county prince in the house, and the other powerful families are all wives and concubines, and the singers and dancers are like clouds, I heard that even the maids who warm the bed are white-skinned and beautiful, but there is still only one wife in the backyard of the virtuous son-in-law's house, not to mention the concubines, not even the singers and dancers, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, only the virtuous son-in-law's house is the most indifferent and lonely, and the identity of the virtuous son-in-law does not match, and now he has been crowned a duke, If there is only one wife in the family, it will really be a laughing stock when it spreads, not to mention that you have been married to Mingzhu for several years, Mingzhu has not been angry, and he has not given birth to a boy for the Li family, my Xu family is really ashamed of the virtuous son-in-law......"
The more Li Su listened, the more wrong he became, and said, "Why did the father-in-law talk about this for no reason?" ”
Xu Jingshan hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you ...... The virtuous son-in-law should marry two more concubines and come back? It stands to reason that concubines are usually married to the wife's mother's family, in fact, when they got married, the virtuous son-in-law was already a county, qualified to marry a concubine, I should marry a few girls when the Xu family married a daughter, but the old man is a businessman, the background is too low, the original marriage is Gao Pan, so there was no assignment to marry, and now the virtuous son-in-law is the duke, according to the system can raise eight concubines, the virtuous son-in-law is in such a high position, if there is still only one wife in the backyard, it is inevitable that it will not pass, and the pearl will be laughed at by others in the future. ”
Li Su sneered and said, "Whether to marry a concubine or not is my Li family's business, what qualifications do others have to laugh at?" Besides, even if it's a joke, it has nothing to do with Mingzhu. ”
Xu Jingshan smiled bitterly: "How can it be irrelevant? Men have the ability to be a big official and be a lord, and women should take care of the family, if the stomach is angry, and the birth of two men can also stand up and be a man, but Mingzhu's stomach is not angry, and he did not give birth to an heir to the Li family, and the backyard is also deserted. ”
Li Su blinked: "So, what does the father-in-law mean, let the son-in-law marry two more concubines?" ”
Xu Jingshan nodded: "Yes." ”
"Is this the meaning of the Zhangren, or the meaning of the pearl?"
"Yes, the Li family is now a big family, there should be rules and pomp, the virtuous son-in-law is a big man, everything he thinks about is a major event in the livelihood of the people, and the trivial matter of marrying a concubine at home is better to hand over to Mingzhu to do, and after all, it is ...... for the virtuous son-in-law to rest assured and satisfied."
Li Su finally understood.
To put it simply, the father-in-law and his wife joined forces to pimp themselves, they were beautiful and sensible, Bao Jun was satisfied, and returned the goods unconditionally within seven days.
A strong sense of happiness instantly filled Li Su's heart. In the haze, Li Su seemed to have returned to a nightclub in his previous life, and Mommy led a group of beautiful women into the box, bowed neatly, and shouted in unison: "Good evening, boss", and then, this batch is not satisfied with the next batch......
Is this talking about taking a concubine? Not really! This is the father-in-law and his wife showing themselves the traditional culture and virtues of the Chinese nation!
Tears of happiness burst out of her eyes, Li Su looked at her father-in-law with tears in her eyes, and said with emotion and affection: "...... Father-in-law, are you playing a trick on your son-in-law? ”
After speaking, Li Su unconsciously glanced outside the hall, not sure if Xu Mingzhu was ambushing the knife and axe hand outside the corridor, in case he made a mistake, countless people rushed in with axes to take their dog's life......
Xu Jingshan was stunned: "Why did the virtuous son-in-law say this? ”
Li Su saw that Xu Jingshan's expression was sincere and sincere, not like a fake, it seemed that the old man really wanted to pull this pimp for himself, and then immediately thought of Xu Mingzhu's appearance of being unhappy in the sunset, Li Su suddenly understood a little.
It seems that he was promoted to the rank of lord too quickly, and the pressure on Xu Mingzhu is getting bigger and bigger.
Originally, Xu Mingzhu had some inferiority complex when he got married, and then Li Su fought in Xizhou, Xu Mingzhu desperately protected each other, and finally moved Li Su, and the husband and wife had a real love between men and women, Xu Mingzhu's inferiority complex in his heart was only a little slowed down, but now Li Su suddenly became a prince, and suddenly went to the sky again, Xu Mingzhu's inferiority complex inevitably raised its head again.
Li Su rose too fast, Xu Mingzhu found that he couldn't keep up with his pace more and more, so today's father-in-law came to pimp his son-in-law in person.
Thinking of this, Li Su smiled.
made the decision to take a concubine for her husband, what kind of painful struggle did Xu Mingzhu experience?
This stupid woman, it's time to give her a family lesson......
