Mother Zhong sat there frowning, and her son took a concubine and gave birth to more children, which is a good thing. Wang Dou, as an official of the imperial court, divorced his wife and remarried for no reason, this crime is a big crime, and the twists and turns of the impeachment of the official will drown him, and Wang Dou has no heart at all.

What should be done, Zhong frowned.

Xie Xiuniang sat next to her with her head bowed. Not a word. I don't know what I'm thinking.

After Wang Dou entered the house, Zhong said, "My son, the little lady in the governor's mansion, how are you going to arrange it?" ”

Wang Dou said strangely: "Mother, didn't you already say it?" Just let her be a concubine, and she agrees. ”

Zhong said: "Confused, with the identity of Ji Niangzi, how can you be a concubine?" Spread it out and let outsiders laugh at our Wang family, there is no tutor

Wang Dou said: "According to my mother's wishes, what should I do?"

Zhong said: "I'm just worried, this genuine daughter-in-law, I only recognize one Xiuniang, and I am not allowed to be outsiders." There can only be one daughter-in-law, this one

She frowned for a long time, and couldn't think of any good way.

At this time, Xie Xiuniang suddenly got up, knelt down in front of the Zhong family, and said, "Mother-in-law, why don't you divorce Xiuniang and marry the little lady in the governor's mansion into the door and be Brother Dou's wife."

Zhong said: "Ahhh What does my daughter-in-law do? Hurry up

Wang Dou said softly: "Xiuniang, you get up"

Xie Xiuniang just knelt and didn't say anything.

Wang Dou frowned, his wife was weak on the outside, but in fact, she had a stubborn side in her bones, he said: "Xiuniang, get up, how can I divorce you?" ”

Xie Xiuniang tilted her neck and said, "Xiuniang is useless, she can't give her brother any help." In fact, whether it is in the later generations or the current Ming Dynasty, Wang Dou doesn't care much about women, even if he doesn't, it's the icing on the cake. When Chongzhen arrived in Daming in the seventh year, he couldn't talk about any feelings with Xie Xiuniang.

However, after a few years of marriage, it can be regarded as sharing joys and sorrows, and the husband and wife have no feelings and have feelings. And this kind of relationship is a mixture of all kinds of mutual support, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, children's diapers, etc., which is stronger than the love brought by the wind and snow between men and women. With affection, there is the responsibility of taking care of each other, and the white-headed old man.

The wife is the original good, and Wang Dou doesn't want to find any troubles, so he marries and marries.

After this turmoil subsided, about how to deal with Ji Xiaoniang, her mother Zhong began to have a headache again.

At this time, a maid came in to report that Mr. Feng was here, and Zhong was overjoyed and said, "Please invite Mr. Come in."

Zhong smiled at Wang Dou and said, "Mr. Feng is a scholar and well-informed, so I want him to give us an idea."

Wang Dou smiled and said, "Mother."

Feng Dachang always pays attention to grooming and beard, his clothes and accessories are not messy at all, and he always has a smile like a spring breeze on his face, and he looks like an elegant civil servant, which makes people like it at first sight. After he came in. Saluted to Wang Dou and the three of them nakedly, with her mother on top, Wang Dou was naturally in charge of her.

Zhong asked Feng Dachang to excuse himself and asked him to sit down, Feng Dachang gave a deep salute, and then sat down calmly with a smile. Zhong told Ji Xiaoniang about it, and then said expectantly: "According to Mr. Ji's opinion, what should be done about this matter?" ”

Feng Dachang was also surprised in his heart, and the little lady in the governor's mansion fled to Baoan Prefecture to get married. Willing to be the concubine of the garrison adult. This is unheard of. At the same time, I secretly rejoiced in my heart. The fact that the Lord Garrison had consulted with him on such an important matter showed his weight in the eyes of the adults.

He pondered for a moment and said, "In the student's opinion, the act of Ji Xiaoniang as a concubine must not be." If you do, it will be a blessing rather than a curse. ”

He saw that Wang Dou and others seemed to be unclear about the Ming etiquette system.

He said, "According to Mr. Feng's opinion, what should I do? ”

Feng Dachang pondered for a long time and said: "According to the current power of the adult, if it is the permission of Governor Ji, the adult can propose to Governor Ji and marry the little lady Ji as his wife." As an adult's flat wife. ”

He carefully explained to Wang Dou that since the Ming Dynasty, flat wives have been popular in various places, and the family status of flat wives is basically the same as that of his wife except for the service system and the car system. There is no need to give concubines to the main wife, and the children are also considered concubines. After death, he has the right to list the tombstone or ancestral tablet, and the marriage process also adopts the same wife's Ming media formal marriage ceremony.

Of course, there are many restrictions on the number of ordinary wives in the Ming Dynasty etiquette law. Even the cabinet ministers can only have two equal wives at most, but fortunately, the garrison does not have a single equal wife, which is a good opportunity.

However, Feng Dachang thought in his heart that with the respect of the governor of Ji, that is, the garrison lord did not have a wife, and it was impossible for him to marry his daughter to him, let alone a flat wife with a lower status.

Of course, the garrison also has an advantage, that is, Ji Xiaoniang lives in the garrison mansion, and the raw rice is cooked into cooked rice, although it is very difficult to propose marriage, it is also very likely that Governor Ji agrees.

The matter was decided in this way, how to propose to Governor Ji. Wang Dou has to think carefully about this problem.

Considering that Ji Junjiao escaped from the governor's mansion at the beginning, it is not the right time to propose marriage now. Let's take a slow time and look at the wind first.

What Wang Dou didn't expect was that although the Governor's Mansion tried its best to cover it up, the news still spread. There was a lot of uproar. Governor Ji was furious, his daughter couldn't get married, and this was the second time he regretted his marriage, Governor Ji became the laughing stock of officialdom, and he felt that his face had been swept away.

I don't know how Governor Ji learned that his daughter was hiding in the Baoan Prefecture Garrison Mansion, and Governor Ji was even more furious. A few days later, several fast horses came to Wang Dou's mansion, and the governor of Yandao Ji summoned Wang Dou, the garrison of Baoan Prefecture.
