"Official, you can't mess around in the future, you don't think about yourself, you also have to think about the concubine and the unborn child in the concubine's belly. If you have a case, what will I do with my child? There are also Zhenniang, and what should we do if there are so many people up and down in Lijiazhuang? ”

On the official road back to Lanxi, Li Xiao accompanied Wanniang to sit on the ox cart.

It was an old cow that pulled the cart, and this cow was the original cow of the Li family, because thousands of cows were newly bought this year, and the old cow was honorably retired and no longer had to plow the land, that is, occasionally Wan Niang and Zhen Niang's sister-in-law were allowed to pull off the car when they went on Lanxi Street.

Although the old ox pulls the cart slowly, it also has the advantage of being slow, that is, it is stable, after all, the cars in this year do not have a shock absorption system, and the road is not flat.

"What the lady said is that she will not mess around with her husband in the future." Women always have to coax, this time after squatting in prison for six days, Wanniang was really worried.

"Official, you see that the concubine's body is becoming more and more inconvenient now, and the official is now the lord of the imperial court, and our family is already thin." Wan Niang held her husband's hand and said.

Li Xiao looked down at Wan Niang, how could this sound a little wrong.

"Wan Niang, what do you want to say?"

"The concubine body is to say that the official should also accept a small one, or the neighbors should also say that the concubine is not sensible."

"Huh? Wan Niang, how could you have such an idea? ”

Wan Niang raised her head, "Actually, this thing should have been done a long time ago, it was all the concubine's body, and it was only until now." ”

Take a concubine, and the wife persuades her husband to take a concubine.

This seems to be an unimaginable thing for future generations. After all, the people of later generations strictly abide by the social standard of monogamy.

If it's cheating, having an affair, having an extramarital affair, **, it's going to be seriously criticized. If a man messes with flowers outside, even if it is just a show, his wife will make a fuss if he finds out. What's more, let the wife take the initiative to help her husband find a mistress.

"Lady, isn't it good for us to be like this? I'll be enough with you. ”

"Official, our family is now prosperous, and the official now has to be named a baron and become an official. As an official, he was a concubine. If there is only one concubine in the family, it is really not the same. What's more, our Li family has always been thin, and if there are more officials and a few concubines, we can also open up more branches and leaves for the Li family as soon as possible. ”

Li Xiao's first feeling was that this was a trap and a proposition.

But listening to Wanniang's sentences, how can she feel so sincere.

Can a woman really be so virtuous, virtuous enough to give her husband to other women to share?

It was good to talk about it to appease Wan Niang, and she didn't continue to talk about it.

Along the way, Li Xiao was cautious, for fear of saying the wrong thing.

Finally returned to Lanxi Li Village, and everyone in the village naturally came to greet and congratulate the owner on returning home.

"Master, what do you think Wan Niang means by this, doesn't she suspect that there is something between me and the eldest princess? In fact, although the eldest princess came to see me yesterday, it was also the care between friends, and it really didn't mean anything else. Li Xiao asked Yang Dayan about his emotional doubts.

Yang smiled wide-eyed.

"Mrs. Zhao doesn't mean anything else, she just wants you to take a concubine, it's normal. The man should get married, the woman should get married, and after the man has a family and a business, it is reasonable to take one or two concubines. As a wife, Mrs. Zhao is also the housemother of this family, so of course she has to take the initiative to consider it. It is also her duty to take a concubine for her husband. If Zhao Niangzi refuses to stop it, it is jealousy, this is a seven-out rule. ”

The old master stroked his beard and said.

Li Xiao's face was slumped, how could there be such a thing.

No, no matter what dynasty it is, women should not tolerate other women, and possessiveness should not be only possessive of men.

He said that he was puzzled, and Old Master Yang was even more puzzled.

Why do women think that? How could they think that? It is natural for a man to marry a wife and take a concubine, except for the man who has no money and no job and can't afford to take a concubine, but which man with a little family business will not take a concubine? ”

He said, "Yang Jian of the previous dynasty knows, right? ”

"You know, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty." Li Xiaodao.

"Yes, Yang Jian is Yang Zhong, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms in the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, when he was young, his father Yang Zhong made the decision for him and married the daughter of Dugu Xin, who was also one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms."

Dugu Xin Li Xiao knows that the national father-in-law can be called the first father-in-law in history. In modern China, there are three sisters of the Song family, who are married to Sun Dacang and Jiang Zhongzheng. But in the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties, Dugu Xin was the best of all the fathers-in-law.

Dugu Xin has seven sons and seven daughters, and three daughters have become queens, and they are also queens of the three dynasties.

This is said to be the most handsome man in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and his three daughters became queens of the Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties respectively. The eldest daughter is Empress Mingjing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the fourth daughter is married to the son of Li Hu of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, that is, Li Yuan's father, Li Yuan became the emperor after Li Yuan became the emperor, and his mother was posthumously named Empress Yuanzhen.

The seventh daughter is the literature queen of the Sui Dynasty, and this literature queen is the Dugu queen.

Yang Dayan stroked his beard and said, "This Yang Jian is amazing, he was born in the country of Eight Pillars, but in the end, he usurped the throne of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and established the Great Sui. Wenzhi martial arts is quite good, but Yang Jian is a notoriously afraid of his wife, after he married Dugu's wife, he no longer took concubines, and Dugu did not allow him to take concubines. Yang Jian gave birth to five sons and five daughters, all of whom were born to Queen Dugu. ”

"Even after Yang Jian became the emperor, the Dugu clan did not let him take a concubine for many years. It wasn't until his old age that he was allowed to accept a few, but he was not allowed to be lucky. Once he took advantage of Queen Dugu's absence in the palace, he was fortunate to have one, but when he came back, Dugu knew about it and killed the woman, and the angry Yang Jian beat his horse out of the palace and galloped dozens of miles, running to a no-man's river and crying bitterly. ”

Li Xiao smiled, "Are you afraid of this?" I guess it's a wild history legend, right? ”

"Anyway, I don't know if Ye Buye has a history, but Queen Dugu's reputation is not good, so ah, if a woman doesn't let her husband take a concubine, she will be pointed at. Our famous minister Fang Xuanling of the Tang Zhenguan Dynasty knows, right? The prime minister for decades, the first prime minister of Zhenguan, but his wife Lu is also very powerful, once Taizong gave Fang Xuanling a few beautiful women, but Fang Xuanling did not dare to accept it. ”

"Your Majesty said why? Fang Xuanling said that his wife at home would not agree. So Taizong asked people to give Lu a pot of wine, saying that if Lu refused to let her husband take a concubine, then drink this pot of poisonous wine. As a result, Lu really drank this pot of wine without saying a word, and after drinking it, he realized that the pot was filled with vinegar and not wine. And Taizong saw that Lu would rather drink poisonous wine than let her husband take a concubine, so he had to take back those beauties. This is the origin of women's jealousy. ”

The second monk Li Xiaozhang was confused. "The allusion to jealousy, doesn't it mean Wei Zheng and his wife Pei Shi?"

"Nonsense, naturally it is Fang Xiang and his wife Lu's."

It is natural for a man to take a concubine, and a woman not only can't stop it, but also has to take the initiative to help Zhang Luo, which is her duty. Otherwise, it is jealousy, ignorance, and ignorance.

After listening to this, Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh, this is really a fine virtue of our country, how come it is missing in the future generations, it is too undeserved.

The lack of traditional culture is really sad!
