For Zhou Chong's puzzlement, I saw that Wang Jinxuan hesitated for a moment, but finally bit her lip and said: "Xianggong, a few days ago, Sister Junwan found her aunt and mentioned a matter to her, because this matter involved our husband and wife, so she called me to discuss it, I thought it was a good thing, so I agreed." ”

Hearing that Jinxuan still didn't directly answer what was going on, Zhou Chong was even more confused, so he had to ask again: "Jinxuan, what is the matter, why do you seem to be a little stumbling?" ”

For Zhou Chong's questioning, Jinxuan lowered her head at this time to prevent Zhou Chong from seeing the expression on her face, and then said slowly in a soft voice: "Sister Junwan actually proposed to her aunt, she said that Mengwan is not young, and she has always loved her husband, she is not willing to marry someone else at all, and is even willing to be a concubine, Sister Junwan persuaded several times to no avail, and finally had to obey her, so she mentioned it to her aunt, and my aunt asked for my opinion, and I also thought it was a good thing, so I agreed." ”

Zhou Chong was also stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that the matter between himself and Xie Lingyun had not been resolved, and now there was another Bai Mengwan, and the other party was willing to be a concubine, which made him a little overwhelmed for a while.

In all fairness, Bai Mengwan's appearance and temperament are the best choice, especially her excellent piano skills, Zhou Chong also likes to listen to her play the piano when she is free, in order to calm her chaotic state of mind, in addition, her personality is kind and lively, and she is also the type that Zhou Chong likes.

But the heart is heartbeat, and the education that Zhou Zhong has been receiving makes it impossible for him to be as free and easy as a man in the Ming era, especially after marrying Wang Jinxuan. and because of Xie Lingyun's affairs, he was entangled. It was already a headache for him. So although he can often see Bai Mengwan, he never thought about really having anything to do with the other party. But now that the other party offered to be a concubine, Zhou Zhong felt that he was a little ruthless and refused.

But at this moment, Zhou Zhong suddenly saw Jinxuan with his head bowed in front of him, which shocked his heart, and immediately made a decision: "Jinxuan, why are you so confused, we have just gotten married." And Lingyun's matter has already made you very wronged, so I will forget the matter of taking a concubine, and as for my aunt, I will go and tell her. ”

Hearing her father-in-law say that she was confused, and rejected the matter of taking a concubine, Wang Jinxuan was not only annoyed, but still had some sweetness in her heart, but she didn't want Zhou Zhong to refuse, but had another purpose, so she immediately raised her head and said: "Xianggong can't, Sister Mengwan is already very pitiful." Their sisters were victimized by traitors and were helpless, and it was rare for Mengwan to like each other so infatuatedly. And he has the courage to put it forward, if Xianggong refuses, wouldn't it force Sister Mengwan to her death? ”

"Huh? This ......" Zhou Chong only took into account Jinxuan's feelings just now, and didn't think so deeply at all, and now after Jinxuan's reminder, he also woke up at the moment, and Mengwan was also the eldest lady from a scholarly family, although she was in trouble now, she offered to be a concubine for herself, which already required a lot of courage, if she refused again, it would definitely be a big blow to Mengwan, and even really like Jinxuan said, it was to force her to death.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chong's face couldn't help but show a little hesitation, he was thinking about how to refuse but not hurt Mengwan, but there was no good way to think about it. But at this moment, Jinxuan suddenly spoke again: "Xianggong, with a family like us, it is normal to have a few concubines, and I also understand Mengwan's character, our two sisters also get along, and what is even more rare is that Mengwan loves Xianggong, so I don't think Xianggong You don't have to refuse, and after Sister Lingyun passes the door, I will hire Sister Mengwan into the house, so that our sisters will be more lively in the future." ”

Hearing Jinxuan's words, Zhou Zhongzhong couldn't help but be a little shaken, but he still refused: "No, this is too much for Jinxuan to be wronged, give me a little time, I can always come up with a way to get the best of both worlds!" ”

Seeing that Zhou Zhong was still insisting on refusing, although Jinxuan was very happy in her heart, she was also determined to let Mengwan enter the door, so she also insisted: "Xie Xianggong is considerate, but although Xianggong is the head of the family, the matter of taking a concubine is a matter within the family, so it stands to reason that it should be in my charge, and I have agreed before, so Xianggong doesn't have to refuse anymore!" ”

Hearing Jinxuan speak to herself in a somewhat tough tone for the first time, Zhou Chong couldn't help but be stunned, and at the same time, he also had some doubts in his heart, and he couldn't understand why Jinxuan insisted on letting her take Mengwan as a concubine, which didn't seem to be a good thing for her, right?

Feeling Zhou Chong's puzzled gaze, Wang Jinxuan turned her head as if she was a little weak-hearted, not daring to meet Zhou Chong's gaze. However, she quickly repeated again: "Xianggong doesn't have to worry too much about Jinxuan's feelings, and Sister Mengwan is really pitiful, so Xianggong, you don't have to refuse anymore!" ”

Seeing that Jinxuan was so determined to accept Mengwan to enter the door, Zhou Zhong couldn't refuse again, and nodded helplessly at the moment: "Okay, since Jinxuan you said so, then I can't say anything more, this matter is so decided, you and your aunt can discuss it, and don't be stingy with the dowry or anything, don't let the family be wronged." ”

Hearing that Zhou Zhong finally let go, Jinxuan also raised her head happily, and then nodded excitedly and said: "Well, don't worry, Xianggong, just leave this matter to me, and when Sister Lingyun enters the door, I will choose a good day to let Sister Mengwan enter the door, and I will definitely not let her be wronged!" ”

Looking at Jinxuan's excited appearance, Zhou Zhong couldn't understand what she was thinking anyway, would it make Jinxuan feel a sense of accomplishment if she gave herself a concubine, otherwise how could she be so excited?

Feeling the confusion in Zhou Chong's eyes, Jinxuan, who was excited, seemed to become a little flustered all of a sudden, and chatted with Zhou Chong without saying a word, and then left in a hurry under the pretext of going back to teach Siela to read.

Looking at the background of Jinxuan's departure, Zhou Chong was frowning and thinking hard, he always felt that Jinxuan's insistence on letting Mengwan enter the door was very strange, and she didn't completely learn to hide the true thoughts in her heart, just now Zhou Chong had seen something from the change in the expression on her face?

"I see!" I saw that Zhou Chong, who had been thinking hard for a while, suddenly let out a sigh, and at the same time showed a wry smile on his face, now that Lingyun has not entered the door, Jinxuan is already preparing for the future, it seems that he may not want to worry about it in the future.

It turned out that Zhou Chong suddenly thought just now that when Jinxuan proposed to let Mengwan enter the door, she mentioned Xie Lingyun several times, and emphasized that she would not let Mengwan enter until Lingyun entered, which had already exposed her true thoughts.

In fact, this matter is not complicated, the reason why Jinxuan is determined to let Mengwan get started is mainly to find a helper for herself, after all, Lingyun is also starting as a flat wife, nominally equivalent to her status, and they get along in the same family, there will always be some different opinions, in this way, there must be some helpers, now Mengwan and Jinxuan get along very well, if Mengwan enters the door in the future, she will naturally stand on Jinxuan's side, and Jinxuan will be able to press Lingyun everywhere.

Thinking of this, the unnatural expression on Jinxuan's face just now was easy to explain, she was happy that Zhou Zhong could understand her feelings, but she wanted to have one more helper in the future, so she insisted on letting Mengwan get started. In addition, Zhou Chong can also be sure that with Jinxuan's original simple character, she shouldn't have thought of this, it must be Aunt Wang who came up with these reasons in order to persuade her to let Mengwan enter the door, and the reason why Aunt Wang did this is naturally to hope that Zhou Chong will have a few more women around her, and she will hold her grandson as soon as possible in the future.

"Auntie, auntie, it's not wrong that you always want to hug your grandson, but aren't you pouring a bucket of oil on my backyard?" Zhou Chong smiled bitterly and said to himself helplessly, Jinxuan has a simple personality, although now she has listened to Aunt Wang's words and began to prepare helpers for herself, but with her character, she should not take the initiative to bully others, and she is just doing these things for self-preservation, but it is not easy to say about Lingyun's side, and in the future, Zhou Chong is really worried that Xie Lingyun will use his scheming at home, and at that time he doesn't want to stage palace fights in his home every day.

"It seems that you have to find a time to talk to Jinxuan and Lingyun, no matter how scheming you are with outsiders, you must not use it at home, otherwise don't blame me for revitalizing my husband!" Zhou Zhong gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, he has never had a home in his previous life, so this life is also extremely precious to the family, in his opinion, the family is his safest and most relaxed harbor, if he is still full of intrigue at home as outside, then what is the use of this family?

Time flies, the summer of Zhengde's five years will soon pass, the shipyard in the ship of the ship of the ship of fortune has also been launched, the Chilava design of the Valen ship has also been laid keel to start construction, because this is a new ship, so only one was built, and because of technical reasons, so the speed of construction is a little slow, it is expected to be launched next spring.

The corn and sweet potatoes planted by Zhou Zhong are also growing very quickly in this hot weather, and the corn has already borne fruit, and it is pressed heavily on the corn stalks, it looks like the harvest of the first year is very good, and the sweet potatoes grow in the ground for the time being, but just by looking at the growth on the ground, you know that the road must not be bad.

By the time the autumn wind blew, it was almost time for the corn and sweet potatoes to be harvested, and it was at this time that Ashikaga Kazuki finally returned from Wakuni with a team of envoys from the Ashikaga shogunate. (To be continued......)
