Chapter 100: Love is like officialdom

Li Wanrou took Li Wanshun to salute Shi Bufan and Dugu Daxue respectfully, and they saluted according to the etiquette of ordinary concubines to their husbands and mothers, and there was no half-point county lord frame in the past, at least on the surface, they had completely given up the dignity of the so-called county lord. Li Wanrou said that she was willing to let herself and her sister Li Wanshun be concubines of Shi Bufan, so that they could stay in Shi Bufan's house for a long time. According to the rules of the early Tang Dynasty, a concubine was always a concubine, and even a concubine could not be promoted to a wife. Although in front of the male host, maybe they have a higher status, and they are considered "irregular" family members. But in front of his wife, he will always be a slave. Even if the wife kills her husband's concubine, in fact, most of the time she will not be punished, as long as it is not a big trouble, then the government will not "the people do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable", and will not manage this kind of. However, if the concubine takes the initiative to insult or even beat the wife, the government will strictly investigate it, this is caused by the patriarchal system in the early Tang Dynasty, and the government maintains the patriarchal system, so naturally it will not let a concubine do this to the wife.

So in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, it was impossible for the so-called concubines to treat their wives. In this regard, if the male owner really falls out with his wife, it is difficult to maintain his concubine. This will also be the ancient rule, in the family, the influence of the male host may even be lower than the female hostess. Even although the Tang Dynasty set up various conditions for divorce, in fact, just as later officials tabooed divorce, ancient officials were also very taboo about divorce. In ancient times, officials divorced their wives and may even be dismissed from official positions, and there was no shortage of examples in this Tang Dynasty. And the divorce of officials in later generations will also affect the future to a certain extent. This is actually a kind of protection for women by public opinion and morality, as long as the ancient people were not too much in their wives, they would not choose to divorce their wives.

Therefore, Li Wanrou and Li Wanshun, the original county lords, are willing to be extraordinary concubines, which means that they may have to succumb to the heavy snow in their lives. If you want to talk about the past, they are the county lords, and they can not take Dugu Daxue, a five-grade female official, in their eyes. Because no matter how good the female officials are, they actually have the element of "family maids", and many royal families don't look down on these female officials. But now it's different, losing the status of the county lord, so Li Wanrou and Li Wanshun can only choose to give in.

"Let's quit first!" Li Wanrou and Li Wanshun took the initiative to leave.

Dugu Daxue immediately asked, "Don't you see it?" This Li Wanrou ......"

Dugu Daxue didn't finish speaking, Shi Bufan replied lightly: "I can see it, I just want to capture it." Li Wanrou deliberately retreated, and then said that she was leaving, and then took advantage of my guilt for Li Jiancheng, and then she thought that I would not really let them leave. That's why she knew that this was the case, so she wanted to get away with it so much, and deliberately said that she chose to leave. She calculated that I still have a little guilt about Li Jiancheng at the moment, so she did it deliberately. ”

But why did she do that? She lives here, and we won't miss her a bite to eat, does he need that? Dugu Daxue said unhappily, obviously she was dissatisfied with her fiancé for having two more county lords as concubines for no reason.

Shi Bufan replied: "Actually, it's very simple, Li Wanrou can't trust me." Maybe now I will be willing to take care of them because of my guilt for Li Jiancheng. Can it be done later? In the next few years, my career will improve, and their identities will be embarrassing at that time. At that time, she didn't dare to guarantee that I would choose to sell them in order to go further in my career. Or, even if I don't sell them, I might drive them away and leave them to fend for themselves. At that time, I am afraid that many people will want their lives! ”

"So, they want to hold my thick legs and protect them. I have now become their last straw, so Li Wanrou doesn't want to give up, so she can only get rid of this next volume. As long as they become my concubines, even if they are just a concubine, then they will inevitably be tied to me, and I can't get rid of them. So I had to continue to take care of them and continue to protect them. ”

However, Dugu Daxue was not very happy and said, "Don't they believe in your character?" ”

"It's hard to say! In the face of power, in fact, I don't even dare to trust myself, let alone them? Shi Bufan said this, in fact, is it deteriorating in the face of power, in a sense, he can't even believe himself, and it's normal for others to not believe in himself.

Li Wanrou can't trust herself, so it's actually normal. She had to tie herself and her sister Li Wanshun and Shi Bufan together in this way, so that Shi Bufan couldn't get rid of them, so that they were all completely integrated and wouldn't be thrown off by Shi Bufan.

"This county lord Li Wanrou has some ability! To be able to think of this, I really can't imagine that a seven-year-old girl would have such scheming. It's also a good idea to force you to make a decision and then sacrifice your own and your sister's lifelong happiness for safety. It's a pity that if Li Jiancheng hadn't been gotten down, and if she was a boy, then he might have been able to go further. But she is a girl after all, and Li Jiancheng is already ...... Well, so she had to choose to survive. Shi Bufan said.

However, Dugu Daxue is also quite helpless, although Li Wanrou and Li Wanshun have been extraordinary concubines, but so what? As long as they are still Li Jiancheng's daughters, there are many of Li Jiancheng's old subordinates in the court who will help them openly and secretly. At that time, if Dugu Daxue dares to abuse them, then Dugu Daxue will not have good fruits to eat. Shi Bufan, the two "county lord" concubines, the background is too hard, so hard that Dugu Daxue can't easily manage it. If Li Wanrou and Li Wanshun do not obey the management of Dugu Daxue, the wife, then Dugu Daxue will have no problem.

"Li Wanrou knows that even if she becomes my concubine, you can't do anything to her. So it's good that he chose this way. Instead, they can get the greatest degree of freedom, and here only I dare to take them in, and no one else may dare to take in their sisters. Anyway, I don't itch if I have lice, and I don't have to worry about debts when I have too many debts. I haven't helped Li Jiancheng once or twice, either openly or secretly, so I can be regarded as registering with the emperor, and I don't have to worry about having more debts. If it weren't for Fang Xuanling's own stinky move this time, which made the emperor feel the threat of the scholars, I wouldn't have been able to go back to the court again. Shi Bufan replied.

Dugu Daxue thinks about it, currently in Datang, in fact, only Shi Bufan dares to take in their two daughters Li Jiancheng. Other officials either didn't dare to take them in to avoid suspicion, or they simply wanted to take them to curry favor with Li Shimin. On the contrary, only Shi Bufan, a guy who "has a lot of debts", anyway, he has already let Li Shimin know that he has helped Li Jiancheng openly and secretly. In fact, with Li Shimin's situation, it was impossible to give Shi Bufan a chance to reuse it again. However, the Shandong Shi clan represented by Fang Xuanling successfully aroused Li Shimin's fear of the Shi clan, so he planned to support Shi Bufan and properly balance the power of the Shandong Shi clan. In this way, it was actually Fang Xuanling's own death, which gave Shi Bufan the hope of rising again.

The court is so complicated, maybe Li Shimin doesn't like Shi Bufan very much from his bones, but he has to use Shi Bufan. Li Shimin may not like anyone in fact, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the two most important cronies, in fact, if Li Shimin does not value the representatives of the two major groups behind them, he may not reuse them. In fact, Li Shimin's most trusted is the eldest grandson Wuji. However, the eldest grandson Wuji's ability is problematic, and he is a relative, such an embarrassing identity makes the eldest grandson Wuji's position very embarrassing. So in other words, Du Ruhui is not dead, and it is almost impossible for the eldest grandson Wuji, who also represents the interests of the Guanlong group, to hold real power. Even, even if Du Ruhui dies, it may not be the turn of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Even Dugu Daxue's ancestor Dugu Xin is also one of the Eight Pillars of the Guanlong Group, but the Dugu family has declined, and there is no talent to come out. Even if Li Shimin's Dugu Yanyun is there, in fact, the ancestors are not from the Dugu family, but Dugu Xin gave the surname Dugu.

"However, although this Li Wanrou is more capable in strategy and has good future potential, she is a little younger after all. After all, she is too young, although she has matured a lot psychologically, but she is not physically mature enough, so that she is not able to make the best judgment. Although she knows how to advance by retreating, she has not mastered this level. She deliberately retreated so much, which was tantamount to giving me the choice completely, so that his hope of success was completely a gamble. If I choose to agree to her as a concubine, she can live in peace. But if I choose not to agree, then ...... She's done. He was using his own fate and his sister's fate to bet on how much guilt I felt about Li Jiancheng. ”

She did it, though it might seem like she was forcing me to make a choice. But it's also very risky, because she forced me to make two choices. The probability that I choose to agree or disagree is 1 in 2, so the risk is high, high! So although she may have a lot of potential for future schemes, she is still not very mature, after all, she is only seven years old, and her physiology is not yet mature, so she made a choice that is not the most suitable. ”

Dugu Daxue suddenly asked curiously: "How about that, is the best choice?" ”

In fact, Li Wanrou's best choice is to wait. Wait for about eight years, when she and Li Wanshun are about fourteen or fifteen years old, at that time she can find an opportunity, and then she and her sister Li Wanshun take the initiative to climb into my bed. In this way, I may have taken their bodies on the spur of the moment. I just didn't have a choice, and at that time, once I wanted their bodies, it would be tantamount to creating a fait accompli, and it would be impossible for me to dump them. At that time, Li Jiancheng's old subordinates would not allow me to abandon their sisters from the beginning. And at that time, their sisters had been living with us for seven or eight years, and once a fait accompli happened at that time, I had no choice but to compromise. It's a pity that Li Wanrou is too young after all, only seven years old, although he can keep up with the wisdom of the scheming, but her physiology is obviously immature, and she can't let her have this idea. ”

Dugu Daxue was speechless, this is simply a dad, Shi Bufan can still come up with a more suitable approach? It seems that this Li Wanrou is still too tender, although she may have been taught by her mother Zheng Guanyin since she was a child, and coupled with her royal background, she is good at strategy. However, some people are physically mature, but not psychologically mature. But as a royal family, maybe the psychology is mature, but the physiology obviously can't keep up. If Li Wanrou was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, she might have thought of this, and she might have chosen the method that was extraordinary at the time.

But now Li Wanrou is too young after all, maybe the emotional intelligence of politics and some power and interpersonal communication has matured, but in the "sex. Psychologically, it is clear that it has not kept up. Humans are animals, so "sex. Psychology" is also an important research topic. She is not physically developing enough now, and naturally cannot produce this kind of "sex. mental" thinking. If she is older, she really understands the "sex" between men and women. mental", so that her plan will definitely be more thorough. Just like Shi Bufan's method just now, when the time comes, it will be chosen by Shi Bufan, and it will almost inevitably succeed and will not fail. Now her choice is obviously not suitable, it is equivalent to gambling, and whether the gambling will be transferred to them because of the guilt of Li Jiancheng. But this decision is up to the times, not them. But if according to what Shi Bufan said, when Li Wanrou and Li Wanshun are teenagers, then they suddenly climb into Shi Bufan's bed, once Shi Bufan wants their bodies, it will be up to Shi Bufan to choose by himself, and Shi Bufan can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

"But why do you accept it if you already know what they think?" Dugu Daxue asked a little "jealously", obviously for her husband, since she knew that Li Wanrou had bad motives, why did she accept these two county lords as concubines?

Shi Bufan laughed and said: "This kind of thing, can I suffer as a man?" Even if I am about to be forty years old in ten or twenty years, I can go to two young and beautiful women at that time, then I will not suffer as a man! So, the old cow eats tender grass, then I earn, and I won't suffer, what do I have to refuse as a man? And three wives and four concubines, it is a man who earns it, so why should I refuse? What man doesn't want to be surrounded by wives and concubines, and beautiful women are like clouds? Even if I am in my forties, then I hope that I have some young and beautiful women around me, so that I can be satisfied! So, why should I turn down another woman? What's more, Li Wanrou and Li Wanshun have no possibility of turning the sky upside down, they are just trying to get a way out, and they don't want to use me for anything. So, there is no need for me to refuse, especially as a man, a man who likes to occupy more beautiful members of the opposite sex, I have no more reason to refuse! ”

"Poof-" Dugu Daxue vomited blood completely, and he didn't expect Shi Bufan to answer like this.

Shi Bufan, who looks like a decent man and gentleman on weekdays, would actually say such a thing. Anyway, after more than ten or twenty years, Shi Bufan is about forty years old, and those two county lords are only in their twenties, they are still young and beautiful, and they will not suffer as men!

Dugu Daxue thought that she knew about her fiancé, but now she realized that she still didn't know enough about her fiancé! If Shi Bufan said something lofty and reasonable, if Shi Bufan said anything for the sake of righteousness, in order to compensate Li Jiancheng, or even if he couldn't bear to let the little girl be killed and suffered, then Dugu Daxue might also express "understanding".

However, she didn't expect that Shi Bufan would be so "honest" to say that it was to satisfy her future "color. want" to agree, so that Dugu Daxue's impression of Shi Bufan has changed.

"It turns out that you are also a layman!" Dugu Daxue finally replied with a wry smile.

Shi Bufan nodded and said, "That's right, I'm also a layman." Zi said: 'Chromophobia! ’。 Why should I refuse? ”

Dugu Daxue was also defeated by Shi Bufan, and finally said helplessly: "You want to take a concubine, I know that I am inconvenient to take care of as a wife." But I hope you will take a concubine in the future and not mess around. Especially those girls whose identity background is too powerful, you must not provoke them easily. Qin Jiarui alone, the current two county lords, Li Wanrou and Li Wanshun, also gave me enough headaches. If there are some more powerful and complex identities or strengths, then our family will probably become officialdom. When the time comes, your love field will probably be as complicated as officialdom! ”

And Dugu Daxue never thought that her words would really become a prophecy in the future. In the future, the relationship between Shi Bufan and various women, and the relationship between Shi Bufan and extraordinary women, is very complicated. Almost extraordinary women don't have a few fuel-efficient lamps, and the extraordinary love field is almost inseparable from officialdom, and even the extraordinary love field is the "mapping" of officialdom, and the extraordinary family affairs are even enough to affect officialdom.

Now everyone doesn't know that the relationship between Shi Bufan and various women, as well as the relationship between Shi Bufan's women, is described in one sentence - love is like officialdom!
