Liang said: "It doesn't matter if you have it or not, anyway, you are not allowed to paint your face with ashes in the future, how good it is to be so beautiful and refreshing, wearing men's clothes is enough to grieve such a fairy-like child, and make it like that, really, right, master?" ”

Zuo Gui's father stroked his beard and nodded frequently.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "When Zhi'er passes the door in the future, naturally you don't have to follow me to the clinic at home, and you don't have to blacken your face." ”

Liang glared and said, "You mean you want to paint it now?" ”

Bai Zhihan hurriedly said: "Madam, it's okay, it's not long anyway, besides, I'm used to it, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't paint it." ”

"Nonsense!" Liang complained, "We let you take care of him, and you still protect him!" How can that be! ”

Bai Zhihan blushed shyly.

Zuo Gui's father said: "Let's go and discuss the marriage with the old lady of the Qu family now, find a good son to marry, now that the family has land and some money, this marriage must be handled well, and the two children cannot be wronged." ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly said: "Dad, can you discuss the matter of taking a concubine together, I want to take a concubine after I get married." ...... Lan'er and her little sister

Zuo Gui's father said coldly: "Let this matter go first, how can there be a reason for a daughter-in-law to take a concubine as soon as she enters the door?" When you say it, people may think something is wrong! ”

Zuo Shaoyang chuckled in his heart: "Then, how long will you have to wait?" ”

"When Zhi'er gives birth to a son, or after a few years, Zhi'er doesn't have a son, it's not too late to accept it."

Zuo Shaoyang was anxious: "But their age ......"

"Needless to say, that's it, let the concubines be released in advance."

Liang also said: "Yes, Zhong'er, now I'm busy with marrying a wife, this is the top priority, Zhi'er is here, you just say that you take a concubine, and you're not afraid of hurting Zhi'er's heart?" ”

"It's already been said, after marrying a wife, you can borrow Lan'er and them to pass through the door!" Zuo Shaoyang was a little anxious.

Zuo Gui's father glared and said, "Then you can't marry a wife on the front foot, and take a concubine on the back foot, right?" What is the rule? ”

"Then you can tell me the exact number. I don't want to drag it out indefinitely, Lan'er is my life-saving benefactor, and she is good with me, if it weren't for her poor family, you wouldn't like it, I would marry ......"

"Enough!" Zuo Gui said angrily, "Why do you kid talk without a cover?" Zhi'er is still here! ”

Bai Zhihan smiled reluctantly: "Master, wife, it's okay, the young master's concubine, we have already said it when we were in Longzhou, and when we pass the door, our three daughters will serve a husband's ......."

"What a system!" Zuo Gui's father said angrily: "The wife is Qi, Qin Jin is the horse, and the concubine is sold and bought, how can the two be compared?" Zhong'er is your day, you are the heaven of the concubine's room, there are rules, and you must not mess up! ”

"Yes!" Bai Zhihan lowered her head and agreed softly.

Zuo Gui's father saw that Zuo Shaoyang was silent with a gloomy face, so he slowed down his tone and said: "My father knows that Lan'er is your savior, and my little sister is also your confidante, you will be very good to both of them in the future, and you will not be treated inferiorly, this is your kindness, it does not mean that they can be equal to their wives." Do you understand? ”

Zuo Shaoyang took a deep breath and said slowly: "Dad, I will handle the relationship between the three of them, I just want to know now, after I marry a wife, when can I take Lan'er and the two of them as concubines at the earliest?" - My little sister's mother is dying in an instant, and she will die at any time, and I want to take my little sister through the door before her mother dies. ”

Father Zuo Gui glanced at him, stroked his beard and muttered for a moment, and said, "Little sister's situation is special, you can consider it in advance." Uh......, let's do it, you took her as a concubine after you got married for three days, and you have already treated her mother with your heart, but she herself did not listen to your doctor's advice, and even became critically ill. In this case, take a concubine in advance, and others can understand it. As for Miss Miao, wait a year! Less than a year, messing up the rules of wives and concubines! That's it! ”

Zuo Shaoyang knew that his father was also stubborn, and he dared to sever the relationship between father and son when he provoked him, but his body was someone else's son, and he could still afford to wait for three hundred and sixty-five days a year. Anyway, Sang Xiaomei's matter was solved first, this is the big deal, so he said: "Okay, three days after getting married, take Xiaomei as a concubine, wait another year, and take Lan'er through the door!" ”

Liang listened to his son's promise, and a hanging heart was put down, and he said happily: "Okay, it's done, Zhong'er, Zhi'er, you don't have to go to discuss the marriage, we will arrange it, you have worked hard all the way, so go back and rest." ”

The two agreed and withdrew.

Zuo Shaoyang walked forward quickly, stood in the shade of a tree, and waited for Bai Zhihan, who followed behind, to come up, and then turned around and said, "Zhi'er, I'm sorry." ”

Bai Zhihan smiled: "It's nothing, if it weren't for my family's family, I wouldn't be your wife, it should be a blessing." ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled, and then said with a straight face: "You just said that I have an idea, I don't need to listen to your ideas, are you complaining that I don't listen to you and don't want to participate in the imperial examination?" ”

"No, how dare the slave complain about the young master."

"Humph! Now that the lord and wife have authorized you, I have done something wrong, and if you don't listen to what you say, you can go to the old lady and sue me. Are you going to tell the second elder about my reluctance to participate in the imperial examination? ”

Bai Zhihan looked at him: "The young master can't help but have excellent medical skills, and the poetry is even more wonderful, not to mention the medical examination, it is a show of talent, the slave and maid feel that they can also be caught, the young master is so capable, he really can't bear to be wasted in the countryside, if he can pay tribute to the first, this is a great thing to glorify the ancestors, glorify the court, serve the court and benefit the people at the same time." Therefore, the slave and maid sincerely hope that the young master can participate in the tribute, but if the young master insists on not going, the slave and maid are the young master's people, 'husband, the wife of the sky', the husband sings and the wife follows, these women still know Zhi'er. So I will never tell the old lady in private. Please rest assured, young master. ”

Zuo Shaoyang looked at her: "Honestly? ”

"Honestly!"

"Well, I believe you. I want to tell Lan'er and Xiaomei this news, you help me call Lan'er, I'll call Xiaomei, and by the way, take a look at Sang's mother's illness. Let's talk in the back alley of Qingfeng Temple. ”

Bai Zhihan agreed.

The two went out the back door and came to the Guizhitang ward, Young Master Zuo came to the ward, and the Sang family was sitting on the edge of the bed, anyway, there are no female patients in Guizhitang now, so the women's ward has become a special ward for the Sang family. Sang Wazi, who stayed in the tea shop, had already got the news and rushed over, and she also stayed by the old lady's side.

When Sang Xiaomei saw Zuo Shaoyang, she hurriedly greeted her. Zuo Shaoyang smiled slightly, and looked at Huang Qin again, but Huang Qin turned her face expressionlessly, as if she didn't see the two of them.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "How is my aunt?" ”

Sang Xiaomei said gloomily: "I woke up for a while and fell asleep for a while, I woke up and said that I wanted to see you, I wanted you to save my life, we said that you had given her medicine, she was relieved, she woke up after falling asleep, and forgot about it, and asked us to call you for help, and told her about the medicine, and then fell asleep again." ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Now I can only delay her surname with a reserved enema, there is no other way." ”

Sang Xiaomei nodded. Zuo Shaoyang whispered to Sang Xiaomei: "You come out with me, I have something to tell you." ”

Sang Xiaomei's face was slightly red, she nodded, and followed Zuo Shaoyang out of the ward. Seeing Zuo Shaoyang out of the back door, he went straight to Qingfeng Temple. Then they followed and came to Qingfeng Temple together.

Bai Zhihan and Miao Peilan were already waiting in the courtyard of the temple. The temple was quiet, and at this moment the sky was already dark, and the afterglow was sprinkled all over the sky, golden and bright. The three women are more delicate.

Zuo Shaoyang felt a little embarrassed for some reason, his heart began to jump wildly, and he stammered a little when he spoke: "Uh......, just now I and Zhi'er, with, this, my father and my mother said, uh, it's about getting married, ah no, about getting married, I got married to Zhi'er, and then picked you two through the door, my father said that you can't be too anxious, he is an old-fashioned person, and he has to talk about the rules in everything......"

When the three girls heard him say that their father was old-fashioned, they couldn't help laughing, but they didn't dare to laugh, so they all held back their laughter.

"My father said......" Zuo Shaoyang was a little embarrassed, "this, I can't take a concubine immediately after marrying a wife, I am very angry, I wanted to reason with him, but I was afraid of making him angry, so I had to listen to ......"

Sang Xiaomei was a little nervous, and asked in a low voice, "How long do you have to wait?" ”

"Originally, my father said that he would wait until Zhi'er gave birth to a son, and said that if he didn't give birth to a son for a few years, he could only consider taking a concubine......

Sang Xiaomei's thin cheeks were pale and bloodless: "How many years do you have to wait......?" ”

Seeing that Sang Xiaomei was in a hurry, Bai Zhihan snorted and laughed: "Young Master, you better tell them quickly." lest you be sick in a hurry. ”

"Well, my father said, your situation is special, and he has agreed that I will accept you three days after I get married to Zhi'er, and after waiting for another year, I can let Nalan'er pass the door!"

Zuo Shaoyang thought that the second daughter would jump up in surprise, and even threw herself into her arms to be coquettish, but she didn't expect the two girls to just glance at each other and lower their heads. It's just that even the roots of my ears are red, and I don't know if it's because of the fire in the sky.

The Qu family is only Bai Zhihan's maternal grandfather's family, and it stands to reason that they can't care about Bai Zhihan's marriage, but because Bai Zhihan's parents died, his grandparents are long gone. That's why my grandparents are in charge. This family is exactly what Old Lady Qu hopes for the most, so she is naturally full of promise and overjoyed.

After dealing with this matter, Zuo Shaoyang came to Zhao Sanniang's house alone.

Zhao Sanniang was overjoyed by Zuo Shaoyang's arrival, two months have passed, Zhao Sanniang has basically recovered, she still has a few shops and residences to collect rent, more than enough to support a family of three.

Zuo Shaoyang sat down in the living room, and Zhao Sanniang served fragrant tea. Keep asking this and that.

Zuo Shaoyang didn't care about greetings, because there was not much time left before the curfew. asked: "Third sister, I'll talk about these later, I have an urgent matter with you." ”

"Anyway, what's the matter?"

"On my father's birthday, you slept in my attic, did you hear anyone come up?"

Zhao Sanniang said curiously: "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”

"No, I'll just ask."
