Chapter Thirty-Eight: On Marriage

Mei Yiqi, who was thousands of miles away from home and had been away from her relatives for seven months, suddenly saw her grandfather who loved her the most, and her long-suppressed emotions exploded in an instant.

These tears contain both longing and worry, as well as indescribable small grievances.

Naturally, she misses her relatives at home thousands of miles away, but she is worried that her status as a show girl will bring unpredictable disasters to Wen and her family, and as for the small grievance in her heart, she found that she was a talented woman, in front of Tan Fengyi, Xie Lingyun, and even Jingyuan, these demon girl-level women, it is simply not worth mentioning.

What makes Mei Yiqi even more sad is her intelligence, not only does not help Wen in the slightest, but also always brings him endless trouble.

Although Mei Yiqi's identity as a show girl is now a matter of the previous dynasty, after all, it is a matter of imperial dignity, and the show girl absconding, in popular folk parlance, is to escape marriage.

Dare to release the emperor's pigeon, and plan to put a green hat on it, don't say that the emperor of the previous dynasty can't tolerate it, even the current emperor, will also put aside prejudices and share the same hatred, otherwise if in the future draft, there are also show girls to follow suit, then his head will not turn green.

This kind of thing, for any emperor, must be put an end to, and killing one to make an example is the best choice.

All along, this matter is like a sharp sword hanging above her head, which may fall at any time, which is a girl who is less than sixteen years old, the pressure accumulated in her heart can be imagined.

Now that he has seen his loved ones and his grandfather who loves him the most, the emotions that have been suppressed in Mei Yiqi's heart for a long time exploded in an instant.

After the catharsis, under the constant comfort of Old Man Mei, Mei Yiqi's emotions finally calmed down.

"Tell Grandpa, did you smell that bastard bullying you?" Seeing that Mei Yiqi's mood finally calmed down, Old Man Mei said angrily.

"No, Brother Wen Shi is very good to Yiqi." Mei Yiqi's voice still had a hint of choking.

"Don't be afraid, Grandpa is in charge for you, even if you say it bluntly." Old man Mei said imposingly.

"Grandpa, you're really worried." Mei Yiqi emphasized again.

"Seeing you crying so sadly, Grandpa is distressed!" Old man Mei lamented.

"Yiqi is really fine, but I miss Grandpa and his relatives at home very much." Mei Yiqi explained.

"Hey....... That bastard boy, why didn't he bully you? Old man Mei sighed deeply.

"Ahh Mei Yiqi was surprised.

"Don't be surprised, Grandpa will ask you one thing, what do you think of that bastard boy?" Old man Mei said solemnly.

"Brother Wenshi, he's very good." Mei Yiqi wondered.

"Grandpa is saying that how about marrying you to him?" Old man Mei directly picked out.

"......." Hearing Old Man Mei's direct question, Mei Yiqi's cheeks suddenly turned red.

"That bastard boy, he is about to perform the crown ceremony, according to our custom, it is the time to get married, but Grandpa heard that His Majesty has designated a family affair for him today, if he is ordered to marry, my poor child, what can you do?" Old man Mei sighed.

"Grandpa......." Mei Yiqi lowered her head slightly and said embarrassedly.

In this era, many women who have reached Mei Yiqi's age are already wives and mothers, and the last time they have already been engaged to marry and are just waiting for the marriage, so Mei Yiqi is not particularly opposed to talking about marriage, not to mention that this is also a lady who has been thinking about since she was sensible.

But men are afraid of entering the wrong line, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, especially in ancient times, the probability of a woman wanting to marry a wishful husband is too low, the vast majority of men and women have not seen each other before the cave room, it can be said that it is a blind marriage and dumb marriage.

The understanding between men and women depends on the matchmaker's mouth.

But the matchmaker's mouth is probably the most unreliable existence in the world.

But Mei Yiqi is lucky, the marriage partner asked by Old Man Mei is what she has been with day and night, even if it is described as a childhood sweetheart, it is also appropriate.

"Grandpa is not joking, you have been with him for more than half a year, men and women get along day and night, if he is irresponsible, who else can you marry, so he must be responsible for this matter." Old man Mei snorted.

"But that's the emperor's will, who can change it?" Mei Yiqi said with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

Since learning that Wen was given marriage by the emperor and was still a pair of sisters of Li Tang, Mei Yiqi's heart seemed to be pressed against a boulder, and it was difficult to breathe smoothly.

"So, you're willing to marry that bastard?" Old man Mei didn't seem to object to marrying Wen when he heard the meaning of Mei Yiqi's words.

"........" Hearing Old Man Mei's question, Mei Yiqi bowed her head again embarrassedly.

"When a man gets married, a woman gets married, there's nothing to be ashamed of, as long as you like it, Grandpa will definitely help you fulfill your wishes." Old man Mei said confidently.

"But Your Majesty .......," Mei Yiqi said worriedly.

"Your Majesty is fine, but you may have to suffer some grievances." Old man Mei sighed.

"Grandpa means .......?" Mei Yiqi wondered.

"That bastard boy is the only son in the family, I don't know who his parents are, and now you are the lord of the country, so he shoulders the heavy responsibility of opening up the branches and leaves for the family, that is to say, he will not be able to marry you only in the future, three wives and four concubines are not a problem, and you will not be able to be single-mindedly favored.

Yiqi, you have to figure it out. Old man Mei said helplessly.

In this era, ordinary people will have three wives and four concubines, not to mention high-ranking officials and dignitaries, as long as they can afford to support them and have enough money, how many wives and concubines they want to marry depends entirely on personal wishes. What's more, Wen is now a nobleman of the dynasty, and Old Man Mei didn't expect Wen Neng to marry Mei Yiqi alone, he just hoped that Mei Yiqi could be the head of the mansion.

Generally speaking, the court will only recognize the legal position of the wife, and there is the protection of the law of the dynasty, if it does not meet the law of the seven, the court does not allow the husband to divorce his wife at will, but the status of the concubine is not guaranteed, and the concubine is more similar to a kind of property of the main family, and can even give each other away.

The famous Su Dongpo once gave one of his concubines to one of his colleagues, and the concubine who was given was even pregnant at the time.

This is also the reason why concubines generally do not have a high status, and even look like servants, because the master sometimes can't figure out whether the concubine is pregnant with his own species.

The most helpless thing for Old Man Mei is that in this world, there are really few people who dare to marry Mei Yiqi, it can be said that except for the emperor, whoever marries Mei Yiqi will definitely die.

"Yiqi knows it." Mei Yiqi bit her lip and said.

Although women in this era have become commonplace for the matter of three wives and four concubines, and they all have this kind of ideological preparation in their hearts, and even take the initiative to take concubines for their husbands and spread out for the family, which is also a responsibility as a housewife, but it is still difficult for some strong people to accept it calmly in their hearts.

After all, love is exclusive, unless it's just a marriage of interests.

"As long as you are willing, in a few days, Grandpa will go to find out the tone of that bastard boy, after all, your age is not young, and there are really few people in this world who have the ability and courage to marry you. What's more, as a woman, you always have to get married, otherwise if your grandfather goes in the future, who will take care of you. Old man Mei lamented.

"Grandpa......." Mei Yiqi said sadly. (To be continued.) )
