Mother Liu also said: "Yes, there are already many noble families who have openly and secretly proposed the idea of marriage, but your father and I have not experienced this battle, and we can't think of a way for a while!" ”

At this time, Liu Haojia had already sobered up, and he immediately said: "You can't just agree!" Especially those veteran nobles can't be ignored! ”

Father Liu let out a sigh of relief when he heard his words and said, "If you want to go with me, I don't want to marry those big families!" After all, our family's foundation is too thin, if someone else intervenes in it, is there a Gu Ningbo Mansion to say! ”

Liu Haojia snorted and said, "That's the truth!" It's just that I suddenly remembered, don't you ask the eldest brother what I do when I get married? And you haven't told your eldest brother about it before? ”

Mother Liu sighed and said: "At that time, I wanted to tell your eldest brother as a matchmaker, but the family is poor, and your father can't lose the face of Xungui, and it has dragged on for a year until now!" Your brother is 19 years old this year, and this marriage has not yet come to an end! ”

Father Liu said impatiently: "Don't talk about these useless things, let's go back to what happened just now!" Among the nobles, marriage is a normal means! Xiao Er, you said that you couldn't find a big family to marry just now, can't you two brothers find a broken settlement? That doesn't help either! ”

Liu Haojia said: "That's right, what I mean is to find an honest and obedient family from the broken nobles to marry the eldest brother, and then select some concubines or women from other families to give the eldest brother concubines, and then our family will fully support these families." In this way, these people will look forward to my Liu family. Although it is of little use in the temple, at least the momentum cannot be weakened! And after a long time, more people can be driven through them, and it is not difficult to become a climate! ”

Father Liu thought about it carefully and said, "It's okay, but the candidates need to be picked well!" ”

Liu Haojia said: "You really have to choose carefully! But don't be too deliberate to pick, let's support them, their family's economic lifeline is in our hands, and it will be a matter of a few moments to break them, don't worry about them being disobedient! ”

Father Liu nodded and said, "Then it's decided!" When the time comes, let your eldest brother take the girl of the Zhang family into a concubine, and your Uncle Zhang's heart will be stable! ”

Mother Liu sighed when she heard this and said, "Alas, it's a pity that such a good girl is a little low-born!" But your father and her father are friends, and when the time comes, you won't be able to insult her by giving her the name of a concubine! ”

Many people think that in ancient times, the wives married by men were called full wives, and all other women who married were concubines. This view cannot be said to be wrong, but there is a big difference in status between concubines and concubines.

First of all, the first class is called a concubine, which generally refers to the woman who will prepare for her to marry when a woman marries in ancient times. Some are concubines in the family, and some are women from side branches. This kind of woman who marries with her wife is called a concubine.

This type of concubine had a high status and was able to attend formal banquets. If the wife dies, she will generally be straightened out and become a wife. To put it bluntly, it is to ensure that the family relationship between men and women is stable and to maintain the maximum interest relationship.

There is also a side room. The status of the side room is much higher than that of other concubines! The name can be included in the family tree, and the tablet can also enjoy the family worship after death. is also eligible to be straightened into a wife. In many backhouse dramas, the ones who can make the wife angry and half-dead are basically these two kinds of concubines, because they have a high status and are not afraid of being cleaned up.

The rest are called deputy rooms, partial rooms, etc., and their status is getting lower and lower. These concubines are angry in front of their wives, not to mention beating them to death! Therefore, Mother Liu said that giving the title of concubine to the daughter of a businessman was very generous at that time, and it was a very important performance!

But Liu Haojia suddenly said: "Slow, the girl of the Zhang family can't be a concubine for the eldest brother, I want to marry her as a wife!" ”

Father Liu and the others were stunned when they heard this, and Father Liu said: "The girl of the Zhang family is only from a businessman's family, and her status as your wife is too low!" ”

Liu's mother quipped: "What, look at other girls' beautiful and tempting?" ”

Liu Haojia said: "How is it possible! Can't you find a beautiful daughter-in-law based on your son's identity and appearance? Actually, I think so, Uncle Zhang is very important to my future plans, so accepting his daughter as a concubine does not show that he attaches importance to him! Second, I won't inherit the title, so I'm a white body, and marrying the daughter of the Zhang family is barely a good match. ”

Father Liu thought about it and said, "Although I don't know what your plans are in the future, I still feel a little wronged by you!" Also, don't think that other girls are pretty! In the case of our family, no matter how beautiful a girl is, she can marry back! The main wife is a matter involving two families, and it is not a joke! ”

And Liu's mother said happily: "It would be best if this was the case!" The girl talked to me all night, and I liked her from the bottom of my heart! It's also a good thing if you can be the wife of the second child! ”

Liu Haojia said: "This matter will bother my mother!" ”

Father Liu stared dryly! Liu's mother said: "Tomorrow, I will post to the two concubines of the Zhang family, and when they come, it will be done!" It's just that you can't get married too early, after all, your eldest brother hasn't married yet! ”

Liu Haojia said: "I'm not in a hurry about this, just follow the eldest brother first." ”

Then he turned to Father Liu and said, "Father, you have to select a few families in the next few days, and I will send someone to investigate the situation of these families." If necessary, some people will be placed in advance. ”

Liu's father pressed his breath and felt that his son had beaten and was disobedient, but he still said: "This is easy, I will write a list for you tomorrow." To be honest, I have been thinking about the marriage of the two of you over the years, but at that time, the family was poor and had no way, and finally got rich, and the people who pounced on it were all people with ulterior motives, so it has been delayed until now! ”

Liu Haojia said: "Since that's the case, I'll go back to sleep." I've drunk a lot of wine today, and I'm still a little dizzy! ”

Mother Liu hurriedly sent someone to wait for Liu Haojia to return to the room, and she pulled Liu's father and didn't know how long she spoke. For Liu's mother, the big thing now can't compare to the marriage of her sons! As for Father Liu's drunkenness, he was drowsy and couldn't sleep, so it was no longer within her consideration!

The next day, Liu's father wrote a list to him, and Liu Haojia did not hesitate, and directly threw the list to Yu Weili and asked him to take the beggars to check it. As for the official, he still has more than 30 brocade guards available in his hand, which is a matter of spending some silver.
