Chapter 53: The Fiancée (I)

In the living room of the Huang family, after the discussion was over, the old man and Pang Degong pulled up the wild ancient vines. It's not about where the scenery is good, or about the food in a certain place, or about some of the gains from traveling, and by the way, about the experience of spiritual practice.

Zhuge Liang couldn't interject at all about these topics, and he didn't want to get involved.

So, Zhuge Liang quietly slipped out of the living room, and accompanied by Lu Qiling, who had been at the door for a long time, carrying two boxes of gifts, led by a maid of the Huang family, to the back house, but to see his fiancée Huang Yueying.

The maid had been waiting at the door of the living room for a long time.

The number of servants of the Huang family is several more than that of the Zhuge family.

Not to mention anything else, Huang Yueying is a girl's family after all, and there are maids around her. There are not many maids around Sister Huang, there are only two of them, one of whom is leading the way for him Zhuge Liang at this time.

The girls of large families will have one or two personal maids to accompany them since they were young.

After marriage, these maids are the girls who accompany the room, also called the girls who have a room. When their former lady and current wife became pregnant, these maids were used to replace the wife of the main family and have sex with their husbands.

After all, in the era when men can have three wives and four concubines, the main wife wants to tie up her husband's heart, and if she doesn't want her husband to fool around outside, she will marry a concubine for her husband, which is also one of their duties.

Since the husband is going to marry a concubine sooner or later, it is better to bring this maid from her mother's family and cultivated since childhood.

If the roommate can give birth to an heir, she can be upgraded to a concubine.

Don't think that the status of concubines is lower than that of the main wife, just think that they are living in dire straits.

The concubine is half the master.

Even if it's not a concubine upgraded by the roommate, it's not what the wife can do as she wants.

The wife rectifies the concubines who are not favored, and the concubines who have no heirs, but there is nothing; Most of the men in charge of the family also turn a blind eye. However, if the favored concubine, if the wife wants to do it, then she has to weigh it.

After all, for the sake of a mere concubine, the husband and wife are not in harmony, so why bother.

If the concubine has an heir under her knees, she can be valued by her son; If the wife wants to be a concubine, she has to weigh three points.

You must know that this Han Dynasty has a model of counterattack by concubines!

Whether it is the historical materials of later generations, or romance, there seems to be no rumors about Zhuge Liang's three wives and four concubines.

Not really.

Judging from the memories of the original owner's previous life, soon after marriage, the two maids beside Huang Yueying became his Zhuge Liang's roommates, and then they were upgraded to concubines.

Therefore, the original owner in the previous life also lived a life of three wives and four concubines.

After all, this is an era when three wives and four concubines are prevalent.

No matter how loving the husband and wife are, when the wife is pregnant, what should the husband do?

Ten months?

It's no wonder if you don't hold back the fire!

And pregnant women in this era are far less able to withstand the toss than later generations.

Therefore, three wives and four concubines have become an inevitable product.

Whether it is the original owner or the current Zhuge Liang, he is not a saint and does not intend to resist the customs of this era.

What's more, even if he is a saint, he is afraid that he has three wives and four concubines.

Otherwise, there would not be a saying that "only women and villains are difficult to raise".

……

The Huang family's house is not big, and the back house is also a blink of an eye.

At this time, another maid who was waiting at the door saw Zhuge Liang come in, turned around and ran into the room, accompanied by a series of joyful voices: "Miss, my uncle is here!" ”

Huang Yueying's two maids, the one who led Zhuge Liang just now is named Daya, and now she is calling this Xiaoya, she is a sister and an orphan, she was adopted by the Huang family since she was a child and raised by Huang Yueying's side as a personal maid.

After the original owner got married, he came to the Huang family no less than ten times, and each time these two maids were happier than their young lady.

The defense of male and female etiquette in this era is far less harsh than after the Tang and Song dynasties. What kind of premarital men and women are not allowed to have private meetings, that is Zhu Xi's dead pervert. But Zhu Xi, Zhuge Liang can only say hehe.

Of course, private meetings between unmarried men and women are also not allowed.

But when we meet in public, no one will make irresponsible comments.

Although Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying had a private meeting, they had already been talking about marriage and were about to get married.

That's fine.

What's more, everyone turns a blind eye, who dares outsiders to gossip?

With the little girl's message, after a while, before Zhuge Liang stepped into the door, Huang Yueying greeted him first.

"Little sister has seen Brother Zhuge Shi!"

Huang Yueying's hands were slightly closed, placed in her lower abdomen, and bent down slightly, which was a salute to Zhuge Liang.

In this era, men salute each other, mostly clasping their fists and arching their hands, and when they meet the elders of the Venerable, they still need to bow down.

But women's etiquette is rarely given up.

There are also women who hug their fists when they meet, and they look very heroic, but such female men are only a few after all.

The woman's salute is more like Huang Yueying just now, the palms of the two hands are slightly together, placed in front of the lower abdomen, but not next to the lower abdomen, and then bent down slightly, this is the salute after the woman meets.

Zhuge Liang clasped his hands into fists and bowed slightly: "I've seen Huang Shimei!" ”

Although Huang Chengyan is the same uncle, his daughter is not a disciple. Therefore, such as Zhuge Liang and Meng Gongwei, they are mostly called "world brothers" and "world sisters" with Huang Yueying; This is different from the senior brothers and sisters, but in terms of world friends.

The two greeted each other and looked at Lu Qiling, who was following Zhuge Liang, in surprise.

For Lu Qiling, Huang Yueying only knew that she was Lu Bu's daughter, and it was her fiancé Zhuge Kongming who rescued her from Cao Cao. Now, this Lu Qiling seems to be by Kong Ming's side, willing to be a maid.

This situation was told to her by her father when he came back this time.

Therefore, when they meet, Huang Yueying will inevitably look at her twice.

After all, no matter how generous a woman is, when she sees a beautiful girl following her fiancé, she is afraid that she will look at it twice.

"Warriors?"

Because of the frequent practice of martial arts, and the girl herself does not like clothes such as caftans very much. Therefore, Lu Qiling usually wears a strong uniform that only martial artists wear, that is, with cuffs and trouser legs, and at most another layer of cloak.

Lu Qiling's dress, anyone who sees her at first sight knows that she is a female warrior.

For Huang Yueying, a beautiful girl is not a threat, and a female warrior is even less of a threat. Retracting her gaze, Huang Yueying turned sideways to open the door and said to Zhuge Liang: "Brother Shi, please come in, my little sister has already made fragrant tea, and I am waiting for Brother Shi to taste it." ”

……

In the girl's boudoir, in the side hall, Zhuge Liang and his fiancée sat opposite each other.

After Lu Qiling put down the gift, she was led to other places by the maids, the eldest girl and the little girl.

Following Huang Yueying for so many years, these two little girls are not fuel-efficient now, they all know that at this time, they should leave room for their aunts and young ladies to exchange feelings.

On the table, a small stove the size of a foot is blazing.

There is a small teapot on the stove.

At this time, the teapot was "poof, poof", and the tea had already been boiled.

At this time, Huang Yueying was washing two small tea bowls with boiling water in a small bowl, and her movements were very familiar.

Watching Sister Huang make tea, Zhuge Liang felt very warm for the first time.

If you don't count the memory of the original owner, this is the first time Zhuge Liang has seen his fiancée Sister Huang.

In the historical materials and romances of later generations, the pen and ink about Sister Huang are a bit of a few words, and even her origin and name are only speculated by later generations based on various wild histories. Yes, even Sister Huang's wild history is not very much to say.

As a guest of later generations, Zhuge Liang is actually full of curiosity about this fiancée.

However, because of the memory of the original owner's previous life, as well as the feelings left in the depths of his soul and his sister Huang for decades, this makes Zhuge Liang in this life have infinite attachment to this fiancée.

This kind of nostalgia is difficult for future generations to understand.

The girl is not very beautiful, her appearance is very ordinary, and even Lu Qiling is much more beautiful than her.

Moreover, the girl's hair was slightly yellow and slightly curled.

It can be seen that there are wet marks on the girl's head, which are traces that have been carefully combed. It's a pity that the curly hair is still not obedient, and the girl's forehead and neck are a lot of curls.

This is a natural yellow hair and curly hair, and this phenomenon is also common in later generations. However, in the barbershops of later generations, there are services such as perm, hair dyeing and hair straightening, and it is not difficult to correct hair like Sister Huang.

It's a pity that in this era, the girl's hair can only be left like this.

The complexion of her face and hands showed that this girl was a little different.

The skin color of the Chinese people, although they are yellow, is more close to white. But the girl's complexion was slightly dark, not the black skin of Africans, but the black that often sunbathes, a little darker than wheat.

Every era has its own aesthetics.

For example, the aesthetic of the Tang Dynasty was plump, that is, fat women, which were very popular. Plump women, as long as they are not too ugly, are all beauties. For this reason, Tang Xuanzong also robbed his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan.

And the aesthetics of the two Han Dynasty is "dancing in the palm of your hand". A woman's figure should be petite and exquisite, her complexion should be white, and her skin should reach the so-called blow-breakable level, which is a beauty.

Legend has it that the king of Chu has a thin waist, and there are many people who die of starvation in the palace. This is the result of the aesthetics of the times.

Obviously, judging from the aesthetics of this era, his Zhuge Liang's fiancée is not up to standard.

Even, it is not an exaggeration to say that Sister Huang is ugly.

However, from the perspective of future generations, the girl is not actually ugly, but just a popular appearance. Moreover, the girl's hair is yellow and curly, and her complexion is only slightly black, to say that she looks ugly, but it is made by the aesthetics of this era.
