Chapter 33: A Good Man

Zhen Zhen originally thought that it was normal for ancient people to have three wives and four concubines.

Who knew that after coming, I realized that taking a concubine is also conditional, and it must have a certain official position and status. The higher the official position, the greater the number of concubines. Ordinary people, after the age of 25, the wife can take a concubine without children. Otherwise, no matter how rich you are, you can only raise musicians and maidservants at home, that is, you don't even have the status of concubines.

Now Haoxing is on an errand in the Ministry of Industry, and his position can be a concubine.

The Zhen family also obviously has a tradition of taking concubines.

My father had two concubines, and every month he would stay with Aunt Kang and Aunt Tian for five days, and the remaining twenty days would rest at his mother's.

Although they lived under the same roof, my mother and two aunts rarely got together on weekdays, and they stayed in their own yards and lived their own lives.

Theoretically, the children born to the aunt must call the wife "mother" and the mother "aunt", and Haoxiong is like this. But the mother never seemed to pay attention to these, and Aunt Tian's daughter Zhen Hui, the mother did not stay by her side, but let Aunt Tian take care of the child by herself.

Aunt Kang and Aunt Tian were both maids by their mother's side.

Being accepted as a concubine by the male master is not a good way out for a maid who sells herself into slavery.

But from her mother's point of view, because of some need, she had to share her husband with her former maid. Not once, and twice. Isn't there any turmoil in my mother's heart?

Zhen Zhen often thinks about how she should deal if one day she gets married and her husband wants to take a concubine. She wanted to discuss this with her mother, but she never had the chance.

Now that the sister-in-law came over and took the initiative to talk about the concubine, Zhen really took advantage of this opportunity to discuss it with the two.

She asked Jiang: "Sister-in-law, if you want to take a concubine for your eldest brother, is there already a suitable candidate?"

Jiang Shi still wanted to talk from Zhen Zhen, so he hurriedly denied it: "No, no!" I'm just thinking about it and mentioning it casually. I don't know if your eldest brother is willing or not. ”

"Then you ask the eldest brother to go, don't ask me. I don't know what Big Brother thinks about this. ”

"Sister, sister-in-law, I don't want to see what you mean first. Do you think it's better to accept someone from the outside or someone from the house? Chiang tried his best to keep her on the subject.

Zhen Zhen's first thought was---- "Your roommate Xingyu?" ”

The girl who has sex is generally to serve the male host when it is inconvenient for the hostess, so as not to prevent the male host from going out to find others. It is also very common to include a girl in the room as a concubine.

But if you encounter a mean hostess, abuse a pregnant or favored girl, or even drive away, then the life of this girl is not ordinarily miserable.

Fortunately, Jiang is not such a vicious woman.

Who knew that Jiang Shi shook his head and said, "Your eldest brother has not asked for Xingyu so far."

Well? This big brother's self-control is good enough! None of the rails that have been laid out? Zhen Zhen sighed in her heart, but she couldn't say it on the surface, she restrained her voice and asked, "Why?"

Jiang's face suddenly turned red: "I don't know." When I was not feeling well, he was ...... Also live with me. Speaking of the back, the voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

"This shows that my eldest brother is the only one in his heart! What kind of concubine do you help him take! Zhen Zhen thinks that this is not a lice on the bald head---- something that is obvious?

"But what if your eldest brother doesn't like Xingyu and there are other people outside?"

"Sister-in-law, is there any basis for what you say?"

Jiang Shi said that Haoxing has been getting more and more good at embroidery recently.

Why don't you say that all married women are Sherlock Holmes? No hint of a man can escape his wife's sharp eyes.

Jiang Shi was a little aggrieved and a little sad and said: "A few days ago, your eldest brother would rather make his father angry and be punished and kneeling to do the silk business, I knew that he must have something to hide from me. He, he can't keep it up, there are already other women outside......"

The clues are right, but this concerned reasoning makes the level of this wife's detective drop directly from Sherlock Holmes to Watson.

Zhen Zhen pondered for a moment, and did not immediately take the stubble, with her understanding of Haoxing, what Haoxing was hiding was definitely not such a trivial matter as "a woman".

She comforted Jiang and said, "Sister-in-law, don't think nonsense. The eldest brother definitely does things for the sake of the family. I don't think you have to mention it again if no one else mentions the matter of taking a concubine, and you don't have to say this idea to the eldest brother. I'm sure the eldest brother won't secretly hide an outer room. Big brother is not that kind of person. If the eldest brother still cares about silk and embroidery, you just do what he wants. ”

Jiang Shi listened to his sister-in-law's words, and his heart settled down a lot: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Zhen Zhen saw that Jiang's face softened a lot, so he asked, "Sister-in-law, can you really tolerate such a thing as a concubine by your eldest brother?"

Jiang Shi smiled sadly: "When we got married, my mother told me that Zhen Haoxing is a person who can do great things in the future. It is impossible for such a person to guard a woman for the rest of his life. I must learn to accept the appearance of other women, and be a virtuous and gentle wife. Because everyone wants to marry a capable man, but there are only a few good men, so there can only be a few women and one man. This is a woman's life! ”

When Zhen Zhen heard this, his heart fluttered! This is not his future destiny!

wants to marry a capable man, even if he is a wife, he will have three wives and four concubines in the future; Men who don't have the ability to do it, everyone can't look down on them.

A couple for a lifetime is a very beautiful wish, but it is a little difficult to realize nowadays.

Zhen Zhen felt that she didn't need to ask her sister-in-law's mood anymore, her own mood was very revealing---- it was impossible for all women to share their husbands with others willingly, unless they didn't love them.

It's not that my mother doesn't care, she just can't care, so she tries to make herself look like she doesn't care. In order to maintain a semblance of peace, the only way to see each other was to reduce the number of times wives and concubines saw each other.

The depression in Jiang's heart was relieved by Zhen Zhen, and he just left.

Zhen Zhen began to think about how to ask Haoxing in his heart, thinking about it, the excuses were not appropriate, only bluntly speaking.

At night, Zhen Zhen knocked on the door and walked in while Haoxing was in the study.

There are a few newly arrived fabrics on the Haoxing table, and they are practicing their feel in their hands. Hearing that his sister was coming, he hurriedly stuffed the material into his sleeve, but inadvertently, a small corner was exposed.

"Brother, what are you busy with?" Zhen Zhen greeted him, feeling that Haoxing's face was slightly nervous.

"Nothing." Hao Xing just wanted to talk about reading books, but the case was empty, so he changed, "I wanted to go and get the book to read, but when I heard that you were coming, I didn't take it." ”

Zhen Zhen noticed the small silk in the corner: "Brother, we don't talk darkly." Is your silk shop about to open? ”

Haoxing was stunned, how did my sister know this?!
