Chapter 256: The Tiger Takes a Concubine
Looking at the woman who suddenly knelt down towards him, Gao Ming suddenly shook his head helplessly.
"How do you know that I am a nobleman? What if I kneel wrong? ”
Hearing Gao Ming's words, the woman kneeling on the ground was stunned for a moment, but then she laughed.
"The noble man laughed, Huzi is now a big official of His Royal Highness the Prince, you can make him do things, your official must be bigger than his, naturally he is a nobleman."
So that's it!
Gao Ming thought about it and found that this was indeed the case, so he nodded.
"If you follow this statement, then I am indeed a nobleman, you can get up first."
"Hey!"
After she stood up, Gao Ming smiled at her.
"I don't know who you are, auntie, and what is your relationship with that girl named Xiaohua?"
Hearing Gao Ming's question, the woman immediately lowered her head, and then replied respectfully to Gao Ming: "The people's woman Chen, Xiaohua is the third daughter of the people's woman. ”
Gao Ming had already guessed that she had a lot to do with Xiaohua, so after hearing her say that Xiaohua was her daughter, she was not too surprised, and immediately nodded.
"I see, I've heard about Xiaohua, and Huzi also said that he wants to marry Xiaohua, but auntie, do you know what kind of official Huzi is now?"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Chen was stunned for a moment.
"What officer?"
Looking at her stunned appearance, Gao Ming smiled slightly.
"General Lin Zhonglang, this is the military general of the fourth grade, and you are at the same level as the assassin history of Puzhou, and because he is a close confidant of the prince, even if the assassin history of Puzhou sees him, he has to respectfully call him a general!"
The reason why Gao Ming said this to the Chen family was to let her know that Huzi was different now, so that she would naturally not dare to look down on Huzi in the future.
In fact, Gao Ming really thought too much, in the era of the rampant official standard in the Tang Dynasty, since the Chen family knew that Huzi was an official, even if she didn't know what kind of official Huzi was doing, she didn't dare to be rude to Huzi.
And now, when Chen knew that Huzi's official position was actually bigger than Puzhou's thorn history, she was immediately so shocked that she gasped, and she couldn't even speak.
"Shhh...... This...... This ......"
At this time, Huzi came out, Gao Ming didn't want to reveal his identity, so before Huzi could speak, he made a silent gesture at him.
"Shh
Although Huzi's brain is not very good, but in terms of obedience is incomparable to ordinary people, after seeing Gao Ming's gesture, he immediately nodded, and then walked towards the door.
It wasn't until Huzi went out that Chen came back to his senses, his eyes full of complexity.
"It turns out that Huzi is so capable now, it seems that my little flower can't climb high, alas, ......"
Huh? Isn't that right?
Shouldn't she cry and marry her daughter to Huzi at this time? Why did you retreat instead?
Gao Ming's purpose was to help Huzi facilitate this marriage, not to stir up trouble for him, so when he saw that Chen had retreated, he immediately coughed dryly.
"Ahem, that ...... Huzi said that his mother also likes Xiaohua, so it's not a high climb, uh...... You know, Huzi is a filial son. ”
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Chen immediately nodded.
"Huzi is a good boy, I know, it's all because the women were blind at the beginning, and now it's not the right door, if Huzi is still thinking about Xiaohua's good, let Xiaohua follow him to be a maid who pours tea and water!"
Gao Ming: "......"
What the hell is a daughter-in-law who turns into a maid in seconds?
The hierarchy of Datang is strict, Gao Ming has known this for a long time, but what he didn't expect was that the view of the portal was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there was actually a mother who took the initiative to let her daughter be a maid.
In fact, Gao Ming didn't know that at this time, the Chen family had already repented of his intestines.
"If Xiaohua had been married to Huzi in the first place, she would have been the general's wife now, right?"
As the saying goes, "poor and lowly friends must not be forgotten, and bad wives do not go to court", if Chen married his daughter to Huzi before he made a fortune, then she would naturally sit firmly in the position of the general's wife, but now it is not possible.
In Chen's eyes, not to mention the history of the assassins in Puzhou City, even a small scribe in the Assassin Mansion is a big man, but now Gao Ming told him that the status of the tiger is still above the history of the Puzhou assassins, which makes her unable to even think about Gao Pan.
This is like an ordinary girl in later generations, if you can marry the county magistrate, it is undoubtedly a happy thing, if you can marry the mayor, this is already a surprise, generally no one will think of marrying directly to the central government, because it is unrealistic.
This is true even for people whose minds have been emancipated more than a thousand years later, not to mention those who have deep-rooted feudal ideas today.
Looking at Chen's expression of "I don't dare to climb high", Gao Ming also understood that he seemed to be doing a disservice, he thought about it for a while, and immediately smacked his mouth.
"Tsk...... In fact, Huzi really likes Xiaohua, otherwise, let Xiaohua be a concubine first, and then Huzi and his mother like it, and then let Xiaohua be his wife. ”
Gao Ming is taking the route of "saving the country by curve", because he knows that Huzi and Han Liu must like Xiaohua, as long as they agree, Xiaohua's "turning positive" is naturally not a problem.
However, what Gao Ming didn't expect was that after hearing his words, Chen immediately waved his hand.
"No, no, no...... You don't have to be a wife, it's good to be a concubine, it's good to be a concubine, I'll go back and tell her father the good news! ”
After saying that, Chen ran away happily and was stunned when he saw Gao Ming.
"So easy to satisfy?"
In the Tang Dynasty, the status of concubines is actually not high, just a little better than maids, many concubines will even be sent around, before Li Su said that he would send a few women to Huzi, in fact, he was referring to such a situation.
But now the Chen family seems to want their daughter to be a concubine, and they are a little helpless.
"The world is so complicated, it seems that I am still too young!"
Gao Ming didn't know that in a situation like Xiaohua, letting her be a concubine for Huzi was already the best result.
Xiaohua was already married, but the marriage was interrupted because the groom hung up, although this has nothing to do with Xiaohua, but in everyone's eyes, Xiaohua is a "Kefu" woman.
There are very few people who believe in this statement in later generations, but in this era, it has almost become "common sense", so after Xiaohua came back, the person who proposed marriage can be said to have disappeared completely, and there was no matchmaker for two months.
Datang is not like later generations of men and women, on the contrary, because of the war, Datang men have always been scarce, as long as they are not missing arms and legs, they don't have to worry about finding a woman to marry, in such a situation, who would want a "Kefu" woman?
And the men of the Tang Dynasty are generally lolitacon, in their opinion, only girls under the age of sixteen are beauties, and once they exceed this age, they will become "unsalable" and "old yellow flowers".
This can be seen in the words that describe the age of girls, because only some people say that girls are "twenty-eight years old", who has ever heard of "twenty-nine years old" or "thirty-eight years old"?
Xiaohua has now reached the marriageable age of Datang, if it is another two or three years, what awaits her in the end is likely to be the fate of loneliness.
In such a situation, Xiaohua can marry a concubine, which is obviously a good result.
And in Chen's view, now that Huzi has become such a big official, as long as Xiaohua has Huzi's children in the future, it is not impossible for the mother to be expensive by virtue of her son, and such a good thing cannot be touched by the daughters of many big families!
In Datang, there are not so many rules for concubines, to put it mildly, it is like adding a piece of furniture to the home, the boss delivers it to the door, and then the buyer sees when it is appropriate, and then sends the money over.
For example, this is the case in Xiaohua's house.
As soon as Chen returned home and told the family about this, Xiaohua's father immediately agreed, and the two of them sent Xiaohua to Huzi's house in the evening.
At this time, Gao Ming and the others were just about to eat, and they were stunned for a moment when they saw the Chen family send their daughter, but after the other party said the intention, Gao Ming couldn't cry or laugh.
"That's too unsophisticated, isn't it?"
Refusing is obviously not okay, because that would be humiliating, so Gao Ming can only ask Huzi to call the Chen couple "father-in-law", and then leave them for a meal, and then let Huzi help them send them out after eating.
Xiaohua's house is less than 100 meters away from Huzi's house, so Huzi went out for a while and came back, and then looked at Xiaohua in the yard and smirked.
"Hey...... Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
Seeing this scene, Gao Ming was also a little helpless.
"It's not hard work for others to marry a daughter-in-law, Huzi is good, the father-in-law and mother-in-law sent their daughters directly to the door, and they didn't pay a penny, and they sent away a meal."
Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly felt that the men of Datang were actually quite happy.
Looking at Huzi's smirk, Gao Ming immediately gave him a kick, and then scolded with a smile: "Hehe, hey, why don't you take her to the house quickly?" ”
Hearing Gao Ming's reminder, Huzi immediately reacted, and then led Xiaohua to Gao Ming's house.
At this moment, Gao Ming suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
"Huzi, this guy, let him bring the woman to the house, why did he bring it to my house? Damn, this little brother is too sincere, even his daughter-in-law is filial, and my boss is under a lot of pressure. ”
Just as Gao Ming was about to open his mouth to remind Huzi, he suddenly heard Xiaohua's scream from the house.
"Ah......h
Hearing this scream, Gao Ming hurriedly ran over.
As soon as he entered the house, Gao Ming saw Xiaohua fainting on the ground, and then there was a dazed tiger and a cute face.
Seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately covered his head.
"Could it be that this is the legendary 'sending sheep into the tiger's mouth', I'm especially drunk!"
