Chapter 519 - Arrange your seats
Li Zicheng couldn't explain the habits of the nomads to them, so he said to Gao Guiying: "Namu Zhong has entered the Han nationality, the Han name is Li Na, and she will be your sister in the future. ”
"I see!" Gao Guiying said, but stared at Shuji.
"If you don't know clearly, you will think about it again," Li Zicheng laughed and said: "Shuji is the daughter of Lin Dan Khan, and her biological mother died early, so she was adopted by Namu Zhong and has been following Na Mu Zhong, so I took her back to Xining." ”
Sun Mengjie exclaimed: "Ah...... She is the daughter of Lin Dan Khan? No wonder it's Mongolian ......"
"The maid just said, it's only been a few months, how can the governor have a six- or seven-year-old daughter?" Chen Qiudie stuck out her tongue and made a grimace at Shuji.
"Only you would be stupid," Li Zicheng deliberately straightened his face and said, "Namu Zhong is only twenty years old, can he give birth to a seven-year-old daughter?" ”
Chen Qiudie's age, Namu Zhong is only thirteen years older than Shuji, if she is Shuji's biological mother, when she is pregnant with Shuji, she is only twelve years old, which is about the same age as herself and the Metropolitan Governor Yuanfang, thinking like this, her face turned red, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.
When Li Zicheng talked about Namu Zhong's age, his heart didn't move.
Gao Guiying, Sun Mengjie, Chen Qiudie, Tian Fen, Mu Sirong, Na Muzhong, even if Song Yulian is not counted, he already has six wives, except for Gao Guiying, who is determined to be the main wife, the rest of the wives have no official ranks, Xiaomei Xiaolan and them, just according to the order of entry, Sun Mengjie is called the second lady and Chen Qiudie is the third lady......
He has always been easy-going, and after coming to Daming, he has no other relatives, so he regards his wives as his closest people, so the position of his wife is not important, except for the wife, the rest of the wives have the same identity, but the difference in title.
If Namu Zhong can't be given an official identity, she is the widow of a Mongolian Great Khan, and sooner or later she will be looked down upon by others.
After thinking for a moment, Li Zicheng swallowed the food in his mouth, drank the spicy mutton soup, and said: "I have long wanted to arrange seats for the ladies, and I have long wanted to arrange seats for the ladies, taking advantage of this Namu Zhong entry, you are all here, God really gives us the best opportunity......
Hearing that the seats were arranged, the women were silent for a moment, and even the sound of chewing was gone, and a pair of beautiful eyes, like lamps and candles, were cast at Li Zicheng one after another, and their eyes of prayer were like an invisible spider web, wrapping Li Zicheng tightly......
Shuji didn't know what to do, and when he saw that everyone had stopped the bamboo chopsticks, he couldn't help but wonder: "Eji, why don't my sisters eat meat?" Are they all full? There are a few ...... left on the table."
Namu Zhong hurriedly patted her head, "Don't talk when you eat, eat more if you are not full!" ”
"Oh!" Shuji is a child after all, and her mind is still on the fragrant mutton.
Tranquility returned to the dining table, and only Shuji was nibbling on the sheep and scorpion in "Ba Da Da Da".
"Poof!" A moth suddenly flew towards the candle, its long legs roasted, its wings flapped violently, and the candle dimmed.
All the women were taken aback, Chen Qiudie was even more frightened and screamed, Sun Mengjie secretly patted her chest with her little hand in the candle shadow!
Gao Guiying's face did not change color, but she picked up a pair of spare bamboo chopsticks and forcibly killed the moth that fell on the dining table......
Li Zicheng realized that all the women were too nervous, did they think that this was the palace, and the treatment would be different if the rank was different? The material treatment is different, what does it matter, and it will not reduce your food and clothing, the key is spiritual, as long as a bowl of water is level......
He smiled and said: "You are all my wives, that is, my family, no matter what, no matter the order of the seats, I will cherish you and protect you, as for the seat order mentioned today, it is just a title, it is not important in itself, it can only mean that you are all my wives, that's all......"
All the women came back to their senses, but they still didn't say a word, they were all waiting for the verdict to be announced, especially Gao Guiying, her heart was in her throat, and even the sound of her heartbeat could be heard: Zicheng is true, just say it, why do you say so much nonsense...... Waiting for people to worry about their hearts......
"Gui Ying," Li Zicheng's voice was like a heavenly voice, indifferent and distant, "I was the first to be close to me, I met when I was in trouble, and I was the longest, so I am naturally the eldest lady in the family!" ”
Gao Guiying almost jumped up when she heard her name, and when she heard the last two sentences, she secretly let out a sigh of relief, and her heart unconsciously returned to her chest, and the girl in the mountains, who had always been spicy, couldn't speak, but just expressed her gratitude to Li Zicheng with her eyes.
Li Zicheng met her gaze and said with a smile: "Gui Ying, you are a wife, you have to take care of these sisters more in the future!" ”
"Rest assured, sisters at home, I ...... The concubine must be ...... Treat them as sisters......" Gao Guiying was named by Li Zicheng, so she had to blush and express her position, almost incoherent.
Li Zicheng could understand her mood at the moment, the back garden of the Li family, she would have to rely on her in the future, and she couldn't be too embarrassed, so he changed the topic and said: "Namu Zhong was originally Lin Dan Khan's 'bag of great fortune', which is equivalent to the 'queen' as the Han people, and she can subdue the Chahar Department this time, so she should be the second lady!" ”
"The concubine has thanked the Heavenly Destiny Khan!" Namu Zhong hurriedly put down the steamed bun in his hand and was about to get up and salute, but Li Zicheng held his shoulder, "It's dinner time, so there's no need to be polite......"
The rest of the ladies are basically in the order of entry, Sun Mengjie is the third lady, Chen Qiudie is the fourth lady, Tian Fen and Mu Sirong are the fifth and sixth respectively.
Everyone has their own thoughts, but they are generally satisfied, Gao Guiying is a wife, which has been decided a long time ago, in fact, only her position has been determined a long time ago.
Namu Zhong is a Mongolian, and he didn't marry into the Li family by himself, the daughters still had some opinions, but when they heard that she had contributed to Li Zicheng, they didn't dare to say more, and their wives could please Li Zicheng in the boudoir, and it was difficult to help in official affairs.
Judging from the seats arranged by Li Zicheng for the ladies, Sun Mengjie's maiden family is just ordinary people, and even her parents and brothers rely on Li Zicheng, and Chen Qiudie is the daughter of Chen Youdao, the toast who was killed for his crimes......
But their rank is higher than Tian Fen, who was born in an official eunuch, and Mu Sirong, who was born in a wealthy businessman, so it can be seen that Li Zicheng does not attach much importance to the birth of his wife.
When the women thought about it like this, they were relieved in their hearts, as long as the governor liked it, it was better than anything else, in case it touched the governor's temperament......
Li Zicheng was still thinking about Song Yulian, she was standing behind the women at this time, and she didn't sit down to eat, obviously she didn't treat herself as a lady.
Seeing Li Zicheng's gaze sweeping over, Song Yulian was taken aback, hurriedly waved her hand, and took advantage of the fact that the women had no idea, pointed in the direction of the kitchen with her finger, and ran away with a smoke, "The governor and the ladies eat first, and the maid goes to the hot ......."
Li Zicheng knows her thoughts, in terms of priority, she will only be later than Gao Guiying, and she is the oldest, and her identity cannot be too low, the key is that she is Chen Qiudie's mother......
This family, after all, is all Han Chinese, different from the nomads, after thousands of years of inheritance, has already had a complete set of laws, rituals, just like a dense fishing net...... You can despise it, but it is simply impossible to completely get rid of its control and influence......
Culture, unlike the military, can only develop gradually!
Let Song Yulian and Chen Qiudie sit on an equal footing, it is indeed a little inappropriate! Since she is willing to make sacrifices for Chen Qiudie......
Li Zicheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, for Song Yulian, it is more suitable to be a housekeeper, anyway, she can't escape if she is kept at home, it's good to save her some face!
Kite and Xiaomei have already had a skin-to-skin relationship, and Xiaolan will eat sooner or later.
Among the three of them, Li Zicheng likes Xiaolan's shy appearance the most, the reason why he didn't eat her is not only because of her young age, if there is such a relationship, the orchid aura in Xiaolan's body will gradually fade until it disappears completely.
Li Zicheng is really reluctant, and there are some contradictions in his heart, a servant girl like Xiaolan is more suitable to laugh like a little sister!
Let's talk about them later!
Li Zicheng threw a large piece of mutton into his mouth, chewed a few bites, and swallowed it, "Your seat is so decided, and if there are newcomers in the future, no matter how noble your identity is, you can only go to the back row!" ”
"Will there be new people in the future?" Chen Qiudie's eyes were like two burning lanterns, and her small mouth was pouted to her cheeks on both sides, as if she wanted to swallow the whole steamed bun.
Gao Guiying naturally didn't want to add people to her family like this, but she was originally a wild girl in the mountains, and being able to become Li Zicheng's eldest wife was Li Zicheng's old love...... Since she is a big lady, she has to have a lady's demeanor, and she can't let outsiders laugh at herself, although she has some objections in her heart, she still maintains a faint smile on her face, as if Li Zicheng is telling a joke that has nothing to do with her.
The more ladies there are, the greater the ability to achieve self-reliance!
Gao Guiying has already convinced herself that what Li Zicheng wants to do, she can't object at all, the only thing she can do is to keep the Li family's backyard stable, so that Zicheng has no worries!
She has never liked the smell of mutton, but today she picked up a large piece and bit it hard......
Tian Fen grabbed a piece of beef and was about to throw it into his mouth, but the bamboo chopsticks froze there, and said: "The maid is a Hui, and Sister Namu Zhong is a Mongolian......
"Wrong!" Li Zicheng kept a face and flatly denied it, "You can enter the gate of the Li family, you are all Han!" ”
Dinner was spent in the noise of everyone, Li Zicheng bathed and changed clothes under the service of Xiaomei and Xiaolan, and on the first night of going home, he had to stay in Gao Guiying's bedroom as usual, Chen Qiudie and Tian Fen seemed to have a lot to say to Li Zicheng, but they didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Gao Guiying, so they had to go to Namu Zhong's room for recreation under the pretext of "oversleeping in the afternoon".
