The smart man stopped talking, since he took off his clan robe, he couldn't participate in the clan conference, so if Tang Cunfu still had the idea of competing for the patriarch, Tang Luo couldn't help, and since Tang Luo had completed the coming-of-age ceremony, he would no longer establish the Jiangxing Pavilion as the first eldest son, and if it was the military support beyond the scope of the Xingguan's ability, he would definitely not be able to help, such as shaking the decision of the first seat of the martial arts.

I believe that a smart person like Tang Cunfu can understand the meaning of Tang Luo's expression as long as he listens to it.

After all, although these words are vague, the meaning is still very clear, if Tang Cunfu's expectations for himself exceed his ability, even if Tang Luo especially wants to build a museum as soon as possible, this favor will not be able to bear it.

How could Tang Cunfu, who was like a human spirit, not understand the meaning of Tang Luo's words, but he just smiled and said, "Since Minister Tang is so open and honest, then I will also say something from my heart." I want to sell a favor to Minister Tang, but I don't want to do any exchange of interests, I just want to apologize for the conflict in the last clan council, and I hope Minister Tang doesn't take it to heart. If Minister Tang feels that accepting such an order is a sign of my affection, then there is really a reluctant request at the moment, and I hope Minister Tang can agree. ”

Although Tang Cunfu kept saying that the exchange of favors did not involve interests, how could Tang Luo believe it, as soon as he heard the reluctant invitation, his heart was a little steady: "Please speak." ”

Tang Cunfu took out a wedding card out of nowhere and handed it to Tang Luo, and said with a smile: "I want to invite Minister Tang to participate in my star ceremony, I don't know if I can enjoy it?"

The so-called Naxing is to marry a concubine, but under normal circumstances, there is no ceremony to marry a concubine, and even if there is, it is only a small sedan chair to enter the house from the small door, and then it is just a bed.

Although they are both people in the house, the difference between the identity of the wife and the concubine is greater than the world, and the wife needs to strictly follow the six rites, which refer to Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, invitation, and personal welcome.

Nacai is to propose, ask the name of the woman (the same surname is not married), Najib is suitable for divination and birthdate, Naji is to pay the bride price, the date of the invitation is to determine the date of the wedding, and the kiss is to welcome the bride.

Concubinage is not necessary. For for husbands and wives, a concubine is nothing more than a slave. It is mainly used to meet the physiological needs of the husband.

There are only a few sources of concubines, and their status is also different.

The concubine who eloped has the highest status, usually the widow of a widow, or a young lady of the family, because she admires the talent of a man to learn martial arts, she is committed to serving the concubine, usually this kind of infatuated woman regardless of her reputation will always get more favor, as long as she is not too stupid, and it is not a problem for the wife to accept a flat wife.

The second is the concubines bought, just like those young men in Miaoyinfang, each worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold, these women who have been specially trained to please men have almost all become equal wives in the back, and Tang Luo has received many peerless "aunts" at home, most of whom are from Miaoyinfang.

And the lowest status is the snatched concubines, such as Wan Sailing on a treasure ship, every time he comes back, in addition to bringing back gold and silver treasures, there are always some crew leaders who can bring back a few concubines or even give birth to a doll.

If the ancestral land is destroyed, many young ladies of the family will be reduced to the concubines of the victors, so whenever the clan is destroyed, you can see many young ladies of the family throwing themselves into the well or hanging themselves, in order to avoid the fate of the concubines who are played and humiliated by the enemy.

And Tang Cunfu was grandiose to hold a star ceremony, and he didn't have to think about it to know that the origin of this concubine must be not small, but if this was the exchange of favors he was going to do, it did not exceed Tang Luo's ability, so one day Jiao didn't even hesitate, so he took the wedding card, but he didn't open it in a hurry, but asked directly: "This is the exchange you want to make with me?"

Rather than being polite and hypocritical, Tang Luo prefers to make everything clear, the other party will advance the construction sequence of the Star Pavilion and participate in his star acceptance ceremony by himself, without delaying or owing, which is very fair.

Hearing Tang Luo's non-salty question, Tang Cunfu just smiled and said, "That's right, this is what I want to do with Minister Tang." ”

"Yes. Tang Luo took the wedding card into his arms, nodded and said, "I will participate in the gift of the star of the representative of Cunfu on time, if there is nothing else, I will leave." ”

"Then I won't keep Minister Tang. Tang Cunfu glanced at the water cup on the table, which was only half-drunk and was slowly steaming, and said with a smile.

"Representative Cunfu, farewell. ”

"Minister Tang, go slowly. ”

Tang Luo, who came out of the small building, walked out, Cui Dayou saw that the main family was in a bad mood, and he didn't dare to say much, so he followed step by step.

When the two of them walked out of the craftsman and got into the frame, Tang Luo took out the wedding card in his arms, opened it, and couldn't help sneering: "Heh, that's really the case." ”

Cui Dayou has been looking at his nose and nose since just now, and he couldn't help but ask at this time: "May I ask the family master, what is this?"

"A wedding card for me. Tang Luo's face was expressionless, and he handed the wedding card to Cui Dayou's hand, and said lightly: "Look at it." ”

Cui Dayou carefully took the wedding card in Tang Luo's hand, and saw Tang Cunfu's handwriting at a glance: At noon on the twenty-seventh day of October, in the Xiansang Mansion of Zhuyun Peak, Tang Cunfu invited Tang Luo, the minister of the Star Pavilion, to attend.

"Representative Cunfu is the master of the design family. Cui Dayou closed the wedding card and said in shock.

"Oh, why?"

"Who in the Tang clan doesn't know that the head of the family has a lonely personality, is extremely fond of martial arts, and has no interest in all kinds of social entertainment, whether it is the birthday of the eldest elder or the invitation to gatherings in other clans, he disdains. The replies to various invitations are even more... Upright. Everyone thinks that the head of the family has such a character, so naturally they will not take this as an offense. Cui Dayou glanced at Tang Luo's calm expression, and continued: "But if the head of the family participates in this star ceremony represented by Cunfu, things will be different. ”

"What's the difference?"

"Although the subordinates are only the treasurers of the grain store, people like us like to listen to the various gossip of the Zong family on weekdays. And the most news among them is about the head of the family. "No matter what era, there are influential figures, in the scope of the Tang family in Xiling, Tang Luo is the most popular in recent years, so people always like to collect some information about him, especially after Jiang Lin killed Mi Chu in the battle, Tang Luo was respected as the first son of Xiling, and the strongest metamorphosis is covered with a different aura.

And Cui Dayou also collected a lot of information about him after becoming Tang Luo's steward, and when he saw Tang Cunfu's invitation, he couldn't wait to explain: "After the crown ceremony, he applied to the patriarch for a new ministry and became the youngest branch minister in the history of the Tang clan. And everyone is speculating whether the head of the house will support the old school or the new school. ”

"What do you mean by the old school, the new school?" Tang Luo asked with a frown.
