After she told Li Bokang her thoughts, Li Bokang didn't hesitate, and told her: "Since this is the case, then we won't invite it, if it really can't be done then, I'll just invite them out to eat once." ”

She thought about it for a moment and felt that he was quite right, so she nodded and said, "Well, you just decide." ”

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and after a pause, she asked uncertainly: "What, won't this offend the prefect?" ”

Hearing the worry in her words, Li Bokang comforted her and said: "It's okay, the prefect is not such a stingy person, even if he is really angry, I will solve it, if you still don't believe me, you can rest assured, stay at home with peace of mind."

Besides, the prefect is busy and doesn't care about our little things, so don't worry. ”

"Well, I believe you."

After he finished speaking, she was not worried, as he said, he would solve it, and the prefect would not embarrass him for this trivial matter.

The two talked and said something else, and it wasn't long before it was time to eat, and the two stopped.

When she went to bed at night, she thought about it, and it seemed that there were not enough people in the family, so she asked Li Bokang: "By the way, should we buy some more people to come back, now our family is much bigger than before, and I am afraid that these people in the family are not enough." ”

When Li Bokang heard her say about the next person, he suddenly patted his leg, and he said that he seemed to have forgotten something, and it turned out to be this incident.

She also felt his movements, and she asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, I just feel like I've forgotten to tell you something these days, and I remember when you say that, that's why—" he replied.

"What did you forget to tell me?" She asked.

"It's about Shumo and Laixing."

"Ink and them?" She looked a little incomprehensible, what is the matter with this Shumo?

"Yes, that's the case, you didn't know before, I didn't tell you, isn't it Shumo that they married a woman from a good family, according to the law, they are slaves, although their wives are from a good family, but they are voluntarily married to Shumo theirs, so..."

"So what?" She asked anxiously, could it be that she was thinking something wrong?

"So, according to the law, their wives and their children are automatically slaves." Li Bokang thought about it and said.

"Slave!"

She was really surprised, she didn't expect it to be like this, she thought that their wives were still good families, and their children would also be good families, it turned out that she really thought wrong.

She still couldn't accept it, so she asked again, "Is it really slavery?" ”

"yes, really." Li Bokang said seriously.

After hearing Li Bokang's reaffirmation, she suddenly didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was silent.

Li Bokang knew that she was a little uncalm in her heart, so he didn't speak again, but his hand slowly reached over and held her.

After being silent for a long time, she suddenly thought of the way she had done to Shumo and their wives and children before, and she suddenly became a little worried.

She didn't know if they knew about it, if they did, it would be fine, if they didn't, how would she tell them, and if they wouldn't accept such a change of identity.

As soon as she thought of this, she was a little irritable, and she couldn't help but raise her other hand and scratch her head indiscriminately.

Li Bokang knew that she was a little confused when he saw her like this, and knew that she couldn't accept it for the time being.

After thinking about it, he asked tentatively, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a little messy." She was still thinking about it, so when she replied, she was also faint, obviously not here.

Of course, Li Bokang could hear her absent-mindedness, so he shook her hand vigorously and said, "You tell me, say it and we'll solve it together." ”

She turned her head to look at him, and after a moment of silence, she asked, "Do they know Shumo themselves?" ”

"I think they know, Shumo has been with me for many years, and he should know about it after running outside for so many years.

As for Lai Xing, I think he also knows, just like Shumo, he has also been a shopkeeper outside for so many years, and he must know some of these things. ”

Hearing his explanation, she became even more irritable, they knew but she didn't know, and she was so tolerant of them, it would definitely be more difficult to change back in the future.

Li Bokang immediately seemed to know what she was worried about, so he asked, "Are you worried that they won't be able to change for a while?" ”

Seeing that he understood what she was thinking, she said, "Well, we were too tolerant of them before, and I'm afraid they won't be able to change this time." ”

Thinking about it, she said again: "It's okay before, we are in a safe corner, and your official position is there, so it doesn't matter, even if others think it's inappropriate, they won't say anything, but now it'......"

Li Bokang knew what she meant, she was worried that they were now in Fucheng, and now it was not his biggest, she was afraid that she would become someone else's handle.

On the contrary, he thought that it was not a big deal, and they naturally got used to it after a long time.

Moreover, the rules of their house have always been good, and he thinks they will accept it.

Otherwise, Shumo's deed of sale is still in their hands, and the decree of the current dynasty is indeed like this, even if they don't agree, there is no way to do it.

After thinking about it, seeing that she was still worried, he told her.

Finally, he added: "But I don't think it will come to that point, so don't worry." ”

"yes, I see." She replied, but she still couldn't lift her spirits.

This topic is indeed a bit heavy for her, so she didn't say anything about whether she wanted to buy someone, and the two fell asleep after being silent for a long time.

When she woke up the next morning, she remembered that what she had said last night didn't seem to have come to fruition, but now she thought it would be better to wait a little longer.

A few days later, on this day, there was a knock on the door of their house.

After that, the next person brought back an invitation, she opened it and read it, it was a post sent by the prefect's family, and she was invited to take her family to the banquet three days later.

When she saw this invitation, she felt a little surprised and felt as if it was expected.

When Li Bokang came back in the evening, she showed him the post.

Li Bokang was not surprised after reading what was said in the post.

A few days ago, after he vaguely told the prefect that they were not going to hold a banquet, the prefect didn't say anything, and he already had such an expectation.

Last time, after he expressed their intentions, he also invited the prefect and the general judge to have a meal, as well as some colleagues with higher official positions and more important positions in the government.
