"I heard that my husband was in the limelight yesterday above the Golden Palace."

Li Xiao looked at Wanniang and her sister Li Zhen, who rushed to Chang'an, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Yesterday he pitted Cui Zhiyi on the Golden Palace, and then the emperor sent Cui Yingluo and Cui Yuenu to the Li Mansion of Shengyefang, and the matter was reported to Lanxi Li Zhuang on the same day.

I don't know who sent the news back in such a hurry, but it's impossible to hide this matter from there. Originally, Li Xiao planned to write a letter to his family in two days to explain, but who would have thought that Wanniang would come to Chang'an in a hurry with her stomach.

"My sister-in-law said before that she was looking for a small one for the third brother, but the third brother pushed left and right, not because he didn't want to accept the small, but because he generally looked down on it. Cui's daughter-in-law, the fifth surname girl, we all heard that the little lady is known as the flower of Chang'an, the third brother's vision is really high enough, and his ability is really big enough. Zhen'er, the little sister who helped Wanniang get out of the car, said with a smile.

However, there was a bit of dissatisfaction in her words, and in this matter, the little sister was completely on the side of her sister-in-law. Li Xiao went up to help Wanniang, Zhen'er snorted and said, "Why don't you discuss such a big matter with your sister-in-law?"

This look of Xingshi asking guilt made Li Xiao pout helplessly.

"I was going to write to you to tell you the detailed reason, but I didn't expect you to come today."

"Okay, okay, my husband is measured in everything, don't be angry." Wan Niang came over to comfort her sister-in-law at this time.

Although her husband suddenly accepted two concubines in Chang'an, she was still the daughter of the fifth surname from the Cui family in Xuzhou, which made Wanniang, who heard the news for the first time, really shocked, and even rushed to Chang'an immediately under the pick-up of her sister-in-law.

It's just that along the way, she also thought about many things.

The husband is now the son of Lantian County, and he is also a court official, and I heard that he has just been promoted to the secretary and young eunuch of the fourth grade, and it is a common thing to take concubines.

After thinking about it, she didn't mind it so much, in fact, she regretted coming halfway, but she came here, and it was not good to return halfway. At this time, she picked up the demeanor of an eldest woman, and asked casually, "What about the two little ladies of the Cui family?" ”

Li Xiao smiled, "I didn't know those two before, but the grievances with Cui Zhiyi finally implicated these two, in fact, I didn't have the intention of accepting them as concubines, and I didn't dare to think about it." I didn't expect it to come to this point. ”

Zhen'er's eyes lit up, "Since the third brother didn't want to accept him as a concubine, then it's okay to do this." The little lady of the Cui family is a woman with five surnames, it is said that these little ladies are the most proud, and they refuse to do it in the main room of the ordinary meritorious family, how can they be willing to make a small child for the third brother, for fear that they will be arrogant and domineering in the future and bully their sister-in-law. She snorted a few times as she spoke, looking like our small family couldn't accommodate the five surnamed women.

Li Xiao helped Wan Niang into the door, "This matter is too big a problem in the Golden Palace, Your Majesty is the master of the ruling, let the Cui family daughter enter my Li family, and now even I can't change it easily." ”

"Hmm." Wan Niang nodded, holding her husband's hand tightly, "No matter what, since this matter is decided by His Majesty, they have all entered my Li family, and that is our Li family." Where is there any reason to repent, where are they, I will go and see them. ”

Zhen'er immediately pouted dissatisfied, "Sister-in-law, you are my brother's wife, you are the mistress of this family, they should come to greet you, there must be rules in the house, or it won't be messed up in the future?" ”

"The two little ladies are also innocent, very pitiful people, now that they have arrived at our house, we will be a family from now on, where can we divide so many of you and me." Wan Niang said with a smile, although she was worried about facing the five surnamed women as concubines, and she didn't know if she could hold it down in the future, but at this time, the demeanor of the eldest woman had to be shown, and she couldn't be underestimated, let alone make her husband unhappy.

"I temporarily arranged the two little ladies in the West Chamber, one is called Yingluo, who is Cui Zhiyi's second daughter, and the other is called Yuenu, who is actually Cui Zhiyi's daughter, but because she is a maid, her status in Cui's Mansion is low. Now let the two sisters be together, they were still crying just now. Li Xiao explained, "When I first sent it, I took the scissors to die with me, and I suppressed her with words, and I didn't care about her for the time being, for fear that she would be impulsive and not good if she hurt Wanniang." ”

"She dares! It's the other way around. Li Zhen immediately exploded like a cat that stepped on its tail, she and Wan Niang are not only sisters-in-law, but also the two have been dependent on each other for several years, the relationship is like sisters, at home, she resolutely maintains the status of sister-in-law.

In fact, Li Xiao also regrets it a little now, at that time he was calculating Cui Zhiyi, but now that Cui Yingluo has really entered the Li Mansion, Li Xiao also feels a hot potato in his hand, after all, the five surnamed women, even the royal family often looks down on them, but now they have fallen into a countryman's house as a concubine.

Not to mention that Cui Yingluo is difficult to accept, it is estimated that Chang'an, and even the entire Shandong Shi clan are staring at Li Xiao with gritted teeth, Li Xiao has completely hurt the face of the Shandong Shi clan.

This is not only revenge on Cui Zhiyi, not only the face of the Cui clan in Xuzhou, but also the face of the entire Shandong Shi clan.

The dignified daughter with the surname of five was occupied by a countryman, and she was still a concubine, which is estimated to be difficult to swallow.

Li Zhi was in the court, and he pushed the boat down the river very comfortably, and he used his hand to fan the face of the old scholar clan.

got Cui Zhiyi back to his hometown to farm, Cui Yingluo must hate him to death, and it is also a trouble for such a woman to stay at home.

But because of the emperor's will, this hot potato Li Xiao can't be thrown away casually.

"Why don't I send them to the eldest princess of Lantian to practice." Li Xiao said to Wan Niang. The Tang Dynasty recognized Lao Tzu as their ancestor because the Li family had a special respect for Taoism. There are many Taoist temples in Chang'an City, and many aristocratic women in the Tang Dynasty often choose to become Taoist aunts if they don't want to remarry after being widowed, or after divorce, or simply don't want to marry someone to avoid marriage.

After the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the reputation of female Taoist priests became worse and worse, and even gradually equated with high-level prostitutes, such as the famous Yu Xuanji. Of course, it is not quite right to simply describe it as a prostitute, during the Tang Dynasty, the feminist ideology was stronger, and many women were reluctant to marry, preferring to be single and live a more free and more selective love life, so the female way was a more decent identity cover-up.

After all, female Taoists are not as good as female nuns, and female Taoists can freely receive male guests, just like the hostess of the salon, and some women are only monks for a year and a half and then return to vulgarity. The identity of the female crown is still relatively free.

Of course, it is still the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and the reputation of the female Tao has not been ruined. There are some wealthy families, often after the death of the male owner, the son who inherits the family business will let his father's childless young concubine become a monk, which can be regarded as giving these concubines freedom in disguise.

Of course, there are also some wealthy families where the male protagonist is not dead, but if the female protagonist is more powerful, she will directly drive the concubine out of the house and become a monk, or the more ruthless female protagonist will even sell the concubine directly.

Anyway, now Cui Yingluo and Cui Yuenu are now Li Xiao's concubines, and this identity has been decided. The identity of the concubine cannot be changed, it is appointed by the emperor, but Li Xiao has the right to dispose of his concubine, and even his wife Wanniang has the right to dispose of the concubine.

Li Xiao let the two become monks, which is legal and reasonable, and others cannot interfere.

"Since they have all entered my Li family, why do you want to let them become monks, others don't know, and they think that the concubines can't accommodate them. Husband, this matter should be handled by the concubine, and it is better for the woman to handle the affairs in the backyard. ”

Wan Niang just thought about it in her heart, and rejected her husband's proposal.

"It's going to be more troublesome to keep them." Li Xiao smacked his tongue.

"The concubine is a woman, and she knows women better than her husband." Wan Niang said.

Li Xiao shrugged, he couldn't do anything about the somewhat stubborn Wanniang, even if he wanted to send Yingluo to Tamase, he had to discuss it with Tamase first.

"There's one more thing to tell you." Li Xiao took his wife's hand and told him about the marriage between the emperor and Wu Zhaoyi that day.

"Finger for marriage?" Wan Niang was surprised.

"I don't think it's very reliable, I haven't given birth to any children, and I don't know if it's a man or a girl. But His Majesty and Niangniang were wishful thinking at that time, and it was useless for me to refuse. ”

"Why refuse?" Unexpectedly, Wan Niang actually thought that this family business was very good. Regardless of whether you have a boy or a girl, there are three possibilities in total, one boy and one girl, then get married to a baby. Both of them are male babies, and then the son will be a companion to a prince, and the son will have a background in the future, which is also a good way. Both of them are female babies, so it is also a good thing to let her daughter enter the palace to be a female companion for a royal princess.

Li Xiao smiled bitterly.

I thought you had to know who that Wu Zhaoyi was, that woman who was known as China's No. 1 tiger mother, people say that tigers don't eat children, this one can really eat children. It's not going to be a good thing to have something to do with her.

But seeing that Wanniang was very happy, Li Xiao didn't say anything anymore, some things are useless to say now.

I just entered the house, and the butler came to report.

"Ah Lang, the money that was just sent to Cheng's Mansion has been sent back."

"Why?" Debts are repaid, borrowed and repaid.

"Zhang Cong said that Mrs. Cui of Cheng Mansion was not very happy, and said that she didn't dare to ask for the money that was robbed from Cui's family, so Zhang Cong brought it back." Money Steward said.

The old lady Cui of the Cheng Mansion is naturally Cheng Yanjin's wife Cui. Li Xiao almost forgot this, this is also the Cui family, and it is the daughter of the Qinghe Cui family.

At that time, Cheng Biting Jin's family was just a local wealthy family in Shandong, not among the scholars, at that time he was naturally not qualified to marry the daughter of the Cui family, when he was young, Cheng Biting Jin married the daughter of the county order, and the marriage between the local wealthy family and the small scholar clan was a good match.

Later, Cheng bit Jin Gong and became famous, became the founding minister of the Tang Dynasty, ranked as the prince of the country, and also painted the image of Lingyan Pavilion, but Yuan died in the early years of Zhenguan, and later Lao Cheng married the daughter of the Qinghe Cui family, and at that time Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other high-ranking officials, married with the old Shi clan, each took what he needed, Lao Cheng wanted the reputation of the Qinghe Cui family, and Qinghe Cui took a fancy to Lao Cheng's influence in the new dynasty.

"I forgot about this stubble, forget it, let's put the money back in the treasury first, it just so happens that Wanniang and Zhen'er are back, just give it to them."

Mrs. Cui and Cui Zhiyi are of the same clan after all, although the Cui family of Xuzhou is not young when it is separated from the Cui family of Qinghe, but how can it be said that the people are also the same clan on the same genealogy, Li Xiaogang made the Cui family have no face, and it is normal for Mrs. Cui to be angry.
