Chapter 732: The Matter of Concubines
After the old clown arrived at Princess Yuzhang, Liu He asked in front of the old man for the first time: "As the princess of a country, she is high on the ground on weekdays, and when she saw us, she was a little unexpectedly shy and dodged, so she didn't say anything, just said that every time I heard her look and face when she mentioned our family's eldest son, why did I always have a very special feeling in my heart, you said, did she like our eldest child?."
Every time I think of the situation when I meet Princess Yuzhang and her Royal Highnesses during the day, Liu He's head can't help but think more, and don't mention Yuzhang's identity as a princess of the Tang Dynasty, the first time I saw this beautiful girl, Liu He felt very kind, especially when I saw her shy and reserved little daughter. I felt joy in my heart, and from time to time I thought that it would be good if I told their eldest son about such a concubine.
"Then again, now the family business is big. Our Liu Wear is so thin, and we should also consider giving the eldest son a concubine room, as if jokingly, Liu He said in a somewhat marginal voice: "You say, if our eldest son really becomes a concubine, then wouldn't we also be in-laws with the emperor?" If you let the relatives who saw us like beggars know before, they still don't regret dying in their hearts?
Liu He's little face was raised, thinking about beautiful things in her heart, although she was not a person who was good at holding grudges and hates, but as long as she thought of the scene a few years ago, when the Liu family was still in tatters, just to ask for a few copper coins to be used to treat the eldest son, she was mocked and ridiculed by Lao Liu's distant cousins.
"Okay, okay, don't do anything daydreaming here" Hanging on crutches, with the support of his daughter-in-law, Lao Liu sat down in front of the stove in the room, took a sip of the hot tea that had just been brewed on the table, glanced up at Liu He's family, and said, "What is the identity of His Royal Highness?" Wear gold and silver, gold juice and jade liquid! Can anyone marry and afford it? ”
"Don't say it's a concubine, just according to an ordinary family like our Liu family, you are a wife. People are not necessarily willing to bend down and marry and swallow a sip of hot tea, Lao Liu lightly put the tea bowl down, and turned his head towards what princess is inferior? ”
And their husband and wife are very affectionate, like this kind of words about marrying relatives and concubines, you don't have to mention it again in the future, so as not to chill your daughter-in-law's mind and cause disharmony between their husband and wife.
has been a little common man all his life, after so many years, Lao Liu's mind has not changed much, for them, the identity of the princess, they can't afford to climb, and for them countrymen, a daughter-in-law is enough, too much, difficult to raise.
Moreover, the daughter-in-law has always been polite and filial to the two of them, she has never lost her duty, and she has overstepped, for Chu Chu's daughter-in-law, Lao Liu can't find out half of it, and she is also happy in her heart.
"Look at what you said, it seems that I have become a wicked person" Glancing at the old man of their family in disgust, Liu He said softly: "Don't I also want our old Liu family to open more branches?" Jue said, don't talk about this Chang'an City, just look at our Sanyuan, a few catties of small villages near our Gutian, where there are some family businesses, which one is not three wives and four concubines, and the children and grandchildren are full? The eldest son of our family is not worse than them, why can't we marry a few more? ”
"This," the daughter-in-law asked. Lao Liu was a little dumbfounded, although he couldn't accept it, but he knew that what his wife said was the truth.
In the past, the family was poor, and it was enough to ask for a daughter-in-law for the two boys in the family, Lao Liu was already thankful, but now, the eldest son has some ability, and in less than two years of hard work, he has earned such a big family business.
It's just that the eldest son of their family cares about those people's opinions? Lao Liu shook his head lightly. own son, he still went to understand. Big son he, no.
"Go your own way and let others say go!" Isn't this the words that the big and small children often hang on their lips?
"Of course, Chu Chu, this girl, can weave and embroider, know fonts, know how to cook, whether it is a husband and children, or take care of the family business in our house, it can be said that everything can be done, when our eldest son was able to marry her, it was also a great blessing, and I also liked it very much."
Speaking of Chu Chu's daughter-in-law, Liu He's face couldn't help but show a smile, to be honest. For Chu Chu, Liu He's is also very satisfied and happy, since Chu Chu passed the door, between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they have never said a word, and the relationship is more intimate than that of their own mother and daughter.
"An Chu's child is well-behaved, if this matter is mentioned to her, she won't think about it," At this point, Liu He's voice paused for a moment, thinking of Chu
““… To be filial and well-behaved. The old lady was a little unbearable in her heart, and she also knew that if this kind of thing was rested on a woman, no one would feel comfortable in her heart, so as she spoke, Liu He's words could not be continued.
"What's wrong? Don't you feel a little unbearable? Seeing that my wife wanted to speak, she stopped. Lao Liu smiled, he had slept on a couch for so many years, and his daughter-in-law's temperament Lao Liu still knew a little, his mouth was happy and his heart was slow, he was only thinking about his son before, but this time he thought of his daughter-in-law. I also understood it in my heart, and I began to feel distressed and unbearable.
"Although marriage is the order of parents, the words of the matchmaker. But there are some things that we can't do just by saying anything," motioning for his daughter-in-law to sit down beside him, Lao Liu poured a bowl of tea for Liu He's and pushed it to her. said softly: "Things like concubines, it still depends on the meaning of the children, if the eldest son and the second child have this idea, but they can't wipe their faces, let's come forward to call the shots for them."
"Isn't it just a concubine's room? The old man is not a stubborn person, I think our eldest son and two children have their current identity and status. is really married to a small one of three or five pounds, and no one will pick and choose
"But if they don't want to, and the daughter-in-law has no fault of not being out of town and being unfilial, let's not say much, so as not to provoke the children's jealousy and discord." Put the teapot down in your hand. Lao Du said: "So, this matter." Just think about it in your heart, don't mention it to others. ”
"Well, this old man is right, but it was indeed a little inappropriate for the concubine to think about it before." Listening to what their old man said is reasonable, it is rare. Liu He took a soft service in front of Lao Liu.
At this moment, Liu Zhiyuan, the little treasure in the bedroom of Liu Yiyi and his wife, had already slept peacefully, and handed over to Xiaoxi to take care of in the side room.
"Husband". In the warm quilt and. Zhang Chuchu turned over and hugged her husband's arm, took advantage of the fire in the courtyard outside the window, looked up at Liu Yiyi and said, "During the day, Princess Yuzhang and Xiaoya are here
"Oh? Little girl, that girl is here?. Looking slightly stunned, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but chuckle, stretched out his arms around his daughter-in-law's body, and said softly: "I haven't seen each other for so long, I really miss her, what did she say?"
"No, I just want to see you, but Steward Luo and others searched for her husband outside for a morning to no avail, and finally had to go back to the palace with a pout." Seeing that her husband didn't mention Princess Yuzhang, Zhang Chuchu didn't care, and replied with a chuckle: "Also, Princess Jinyang and His Royal Highness King Jin, who came with them, are also very concerned about their husband, but fortunately, they have a good time with their sister-in-law by their side."
"Oh? Is it?. Thinking of the three naughty little guys, Liu Yiyi smiled knowingly and said, "When I have leisure in a few days, I will visit them in the palace again, so as not to see each other in the future." They looked at the face of the clip again. ”
The husband laughed, although the three highnesses are not very old, they are all people who know etiquette and understand the manners, and the husband has been their enlightenment no matter what he says. How can you give your husband a face? Glancing at Liu Yiyi with disgust, Zhang Chuchu continued: "There is one thing that needs to be greeted by my husband in advance."
Looking up at Liu Yiyi who didn't make a sound, as if waiting for the following, Zhang Chuchu said bluntly: "Her Royal Highness Princess Yuzhang came to the house on behalf of the queen to ask, saying that it was the set of quilts sent into the palace last time, if there is any surplus, I want to set more, there should be no less than a thousand in total, and the concubine will make her own opinion, and she has made a decision on behalf of her husband, but the specific price, as well as the delivery date, will be decided by the husband himself." ”
"Oh?" looked stunned, and then figured out some questions from his daughter-in-law's words, Liu Yiyi said softly: "In this way, the quilt we gave to the godmother a few days ago has already been handed over to the queen by the godmother?" ”
"The husband said well, when the concubine asked the godmother in the afternoon, although the godmother said vaguely, but from Princess Yuzhang's actions and words, it is not difficult to see that the godmother must have handed us good words in front of the queen." Zhang Chuchu nodded and said: "So, just before Fang Cai and her husband came back, the concubine had a little joy and sent a new quilt to the godmother and the eldest brother, which can be regarded as a token of gratitude." After all, we're all relatives now. is not an outsider, if you say thank you, you can't help but look raw. Therefore, for the grace of the godmother, the concubine thinks that we still have to keep it in mind
"Well, what the lady said is very true, the lady's behavior is also very suitable for the husband" Wen smiled and nodded lightly, Liu Yi lightly tightened the arm that hugged the daughter-in-law, and whispered in the daughter-in-law's ear: "There is a good wife in the family, and the internal affairs are worry-free, and it is very fortunate for the husband to be able to marry the lady in this life!" ”
Alas, let's not talk about mundane things, step up the code word
