[Red House] Release a concubine and have children

Lang Geer was quickly brought to the old lady's yard, followed by Jin Geer. After entering the house, the two children first greeted the old lady and Fu Li, and then Jin Geer looked at the old lady with a smile. The two said, "It's rare for the old lady to miss Big Brother Lan today, so she called him over, why didn't she say that she called me over for her grandson too? My grandson is going to be jealous."

After hearing this, the old lady narrowed her eyes with a smile, and hurriedly raised her hand to bring Brother Jin to her face: "Brother Jin is quite jealous, I can smell the sour smell. But this time I will call you Big Brother Lan Come here, but for the sake of business, it has nothing to do with you for the time being."

During this period of time, Fu Li accompanied Wei Yan to the two provinces of Huguang, and the two children in the capital got along with the old man day and night, and their relationship with each other deepened a lot.

Fu Li still remembered that before he left, although the two elders treated Brother Jin as their own, they might be concerned that he was not Wei Yan's biological son. Brother Jin is so strict, and Brother Jin is the same. Although he respects the two old people very much, he is not close enough.

Listening to brother Jin's words now, it is obvious that he is close to the old lady, and the familiarity in the old lady's words is not too much.

It seems that the period of time I left the capital was not without benefits.

Thinking of this, Fu Li couldn't help curling his lips into a smile. Brother Lan next to him saw him and couldn't help being curious: "Mother, why did the old lady call me over this time? Why does it sound like brother Jin? It's also related, but it's just that the time hasn't come yet?"

Fu Li turned to look at the old lady: "The old lady knows better about this, you should ask the old lady."

After hearing this, the old lady hurriedly waved to Lang Ge'er, and when she got to her side, she looked at Lang Ge'er seriously: "Lang Ge'er is also 12 years old this year, and this future marriage candidate should also agree It looks like that. No, I asked someone to inquire about the girls of the right age in the capital. There are about a dozen girls who are of the same status as our family and are suitable for marrying to be the mistress of the Wei family. After that, each of them looks like a flower and a jade, and they are all very good girls. I thought that it would be very good to marry such a girl for you, but your mother said, it is best to ask yourself It means that if the wife you marry in the end is the one you like, you will be happier."

"That's why I had someone call you over." The old lady paused, with a smile in her eyes, "I want to ask you, what kind of girl do you like?"

Lang Ge'er's eyes lit up first, and then he seemed to realize the true meaning of the words, and his cheeks flushed instantly.He glanced at the old lady carefully, then turned his gaze to Fu Li, opened his mouth many times, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

But the joy in his eyes was never mistaken by the old lady.

Before, she didn't take seriously the idea of ​​marrying a wife according to Lang Ge'er's preferences, because everyone used to come here like this. Isn't she and the old man also "the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker"?It's not the same as having a good time.

But seeing her grandson happy, the old lady suddenly felt that it was okay to do so.

What's more, isn't there a couple in front of her who didn't strictly follow the "parental order" to get married?Even the old lady who thought she had a pretty good life in this life couldn't help feeling a little jealous when she thought of the atmosphere when her son and daughter-in-law got along.

If she and the old man were like this when they were young, how good would it be?

Thinking in this way, the old lady paid more and more attention to Lan Geer's preferences: "Lang Geer, tell grandma what kind of girl you like, grandma will definitely give you the girl you like Get it back, but it’s not enough to find you a wife who doesn’t suit your liking at all.”

Lang Geer only felt that his mind was blank, and he was extremely ashamed.

After Jin Geer listened, he looked at Lang Geer jokingly, and occasionally chuckled a few times, which made Lang Geer more and more embarrassed.

Fu Li glared at Brother Jin, then looked at Brother Lang with a smile: "This is a major event that concerns your entire life, so you can't be a little sloppy. Brother Lang, think about it carefully, if you really don't know what you are more What kind of girl do you like, you have to talk about what kind of girl you hate? If you don’t tell me, in case you end up marrying a girl who doesn’t suit you so well, then you don’t like it. Hate each other? As a man, if you don’t like your first wife, you can still have a concubine room that you like, but your wife has been tied to you for the rest of your life, and there is no other possibility. You tell your preferences , is responsible not only for your own future, but also for your future wife.”

"Furthermore," Fu Li smiled and glanced at the old lady, "I persuaded you for a long time before I asked you for such an opportunity. If you don't say anything because you are shy and pass this village, you will not There must be a store like this.”

Hearing this, the old lady smiled and raised her finger to Fu Li: "You girl, you even arranged for me."

Fu Li hurriedly apologized with a smile: "It's the daughter-in-law who has a big mouth and dares to speak nonsense. She really deserves to die. Our old lady is the most magnanimous, and she almost hurt our brother Lan to the bone. How could it be possible to only give to Lan Brother, this chance? It must be this time, next time, next time, as long as Lan Geer thinks of what kind of girl he likes, or what kind of girl he hates, he can find the old lady one by one It is clear that the old lady will be able to fulfill Lang Geer's wish and marry him a girl who suits him best as his wife."

This was said so narrowly that the whole room burst into laughter.

The old lady looked at Fu Li, she really didn't laugh or scold, she could only point to Fu Li and say that she was narrow-minded and bold.

Brother Jin's eyeballs kept rolling, and he couldn't help leaning over to Brother Lan: "Brother Lan, I grew up with you, and I haven't heard what kind of girl you like. Marrying a wife and having children is a must." The most common thing, what is there to be ashamed of? Why don't you quickly tell me what kind of girl you like?"

After hearing Fu Li's words, Lang Ge'er's expression became much more serious, but he was still young, and it was the first time he talked about such topics with his elders.

What's more, at his age, apart from going to school with Brother Jin, the rest of his time is to practice martial arts in the backyard, and he is full of eyes to be a man who can honor his ancestors and serve the court like his father Even if the cousins ​​in the school had mentioned such things in their ears, he never took it to heart. Now that he suddenly heard that his family was going to start looking for his wife for him, how could he immediately tell his future wife? preferences?

Therefore, after hearing Brother Jin's words, he only felt dumbfounded, and his heart was even more secretive.

A bit of "revenge" was hidden in her mind: "Since you think that getting married and having children is the most common thing, then tell me, what kind of girl do you like more?"

After he said this, he thought that Brother Jin would use his young age to prevaricate this topic, but he never thought that after hearing this question, Brother Jin blinked and really fell into deep thought, and then even more so. Looking in front of the old lady and mother, she said boldly: "I will definitely marry a wife who is as beautiful as my mother in the future, and she must also read poetry and books like me, and be able to recite poems with me. Afterwards, we were speechless. Of course, it would be even better if she is also a well-informed person who likes to travel, so that after I become famous in the future, our husband and wife can swim together in the mountains and rivers of Daxia and be a real couple of gods. companion."

After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Fu Li seriously, "My son doesn't intend to take a concubine, so he has extraordinarily high demands on his wife. I hope my mother will not be impatient when she chooses a wife for me according to the requirements."

Fu Li laughed, and almost immediately thought of Xue Qinshi and her daughter Xue Baoqin whom he met in Huzhou before.

From this point of view, she really knows her son very well, and the mother and son have surprisingly consistent standards for their future daughter-in-law.

only……

Fu Li looked at Brother Jin seriously: "Why do you think you don't want to take a concubine?"

Although she herself is very displeased with the fact that men take concubines, she is very sure that she has never mentioned such topics in Brother Jin's ear.After all, if there is no miracle, Brother Jin will live in Daxia for the rest of his life, and besides himself, everyone and ideas that Brother Jin comes into contact with in Daxia are also very pure ancient thoughts. I was worried that my intentional instillation of ideas into Brother Jing would cause him to get too entangled in conflicts in later life because of collisions with what he had seen and heard.

What's more, the ancient rule that men and women cannot meet before getting engaged is really a headache.

Under such rules, it is very difficult to find a partner who is truly like-minded. If she insists on asking Jin Geer not to take concubines, no one knows what Jin Geer's life will be like in the future.

So Fu Li could only find a way to choose a wife for Jin Geer who was most likely to fall in love with him. After thinking about having someone he liked, he was sure of the various influences that Jin Geer had been by his side all these years. No act of concubinage will be done.

But Fu Li never thought that Brother Jin would already have the idea of ​​not wanting to take a concubine at such a young age.

She was just too curious.

Faced with Fu Li's question, Brother Jin seemed to be more puzzled than she: "Mother doesn't like men who take concubines? The son is worried that if he takes a concubine after marrying a wife, mother may drive him out of the house directly. If this is the case, the son can only hug his mother's thigh and cry."

Fu Li couldn't help imagining in his mind the scene of Brother Jin crying while hugging his thigh, and then the whole person said: "..."

Not really.

She is not Cinderella's stepmother, but she can't do anything to drive her son out of the house.

Even if Brother Jin takes a concubine in the future, at most she will only treat his wife as her own daughter to make up for it, and then separate Brother Jin to live alone.

Seeing that Fu Li seemed to be thinking along his own words, Brother Jin interrupted with a busy smile: "Mother, don't think about it, my son is just joking. Although there are indeed reasons why you don't like people who take concubines, mother, But the bigger reason is actually that my son is very envious of the relationship between you and daddy, and hopes that he can be like daddy in the future, marry a wife he really likes, and then stay together forever and support each other."

Fu Li couldn't hold it back, and raised his hand to slap Brother Jin on the shoulder: "You brat, you've grown up to make fun of your mother!"

Brother Jin smiled, and said seriously: "But as I said before, the choice of wife I like is serious. Mother, you must marry me a wife according to your son's request."

Fu Li couldn't laugh or cry: "You have become a womanizer at such a young age, are you ashamed?"

Brother Jin didn't feel shy in the slightest: "Confucius said it all, he has a sex appetite. My son likes beauty and has never been lustful, so he doesn't deserve the evaluation of his mother as a lustful person. Besides, he is young and admires Ai. It’s easier to fall in love with beauties? What’s so strange about that.”

Fu Li was choked by this long series of words, and couldn't find any rebuttal words for a while.

On the contrary, the old lady laughed loudly after hearing this, and couldn't help but say, "Young Muai? Our brother Jin is so young, is he already aware of the relationship between men and women?"

Brother Jin blinked, and said hesitantly: "Probably, not yet."

After finishing speaking, he held his head high and held his chest high, "But as long as you are a human being, you like beautiful women, and you also hope to find someone who can be with you. If you can really find a wife who is as demanding as your grandson wants, your grandson will be blind. I’m sure you’ll like it, and you can’t go wrong.”

Now not only the old lady, but even Fu Li and Lan Geer were amused by Jin Geer's brazen words and laughed.

Brother Jin still doesn't think it's funny, with a delicate little face is quite serious: "Mother, you are the one who asked the question, and the son also said his request, you have to take his son's words to heart Come on. But you must choose a wife for your son according to his request."

Fu Li was really going to be defeated by Brother Jin's thick skin, so he could only helplessly raise his hand and rubbed his head: "I came to Huzhou this time, and I really met a..." After a pause, he thought of Xue Baoqin She stopped talking and said instead, "It's just that you have such high requirements for your future wife. If you don't work hard, in case you meet a girl who meets your requirements in the future, but because you can't meet the requirements of her husband-in-law request, then..."

Brother Jin immediately patted his chest and assured: "Mother, don't worry, no one will dislike me because of my son's appearance and talent. I just wait for the imperial examination to earn fame and fortune. No matter what kind of girl I want to come, I won't look down on me." .”

Seeing his confident appearance, Fu Li really felt itchy for a while, but he held it back and didn't really make a move.

She just laughed and scolded: "You have such high requirements, I'm afraid it will take many years to find a girl who meets your requirements. If you want to get married, I'm afraid it will be a long wait. Maybe you have to wait until you are in your twenties to find a girl who meets your requirements." Maybe all the girls who ask for it, you really don't mind?"

Brother Jin listened, and always felt that there was something in Fu Li's words.

He rolled his eyes, and then nodded decisively: "Mother, don't worry, even if you are 30 years old, you can wait."

Fu Li shook his head with a smile, did not continue this topic, and turned to

Said: "It's really possible for you to wait until thirty, Lang Geer doesn't have to wait." Then he turned to look at Lang Geer, "Lang Geer, it's been so long, haven't you figured out what you want? What kind of wife do you want to marry?"

The old lady stopped laughing and looked at Lange.

The old lady only thought of Brother Jin's words as childish words, and besides, Brother Jin didn't have time to worry about marriage, so she didn't really take it to heart.

But she was quite serious about what Lang Geer was about to say, obviously she really wanted to find a satisfactory wife for Lang Geer.

Unexpectedly...

Lang Geer opened his mouth, and the first sentence he spit out was also...

"I hope that my wife is like a mother, a person who is alluring and beautiful."

old lady:"……"

Fu Li was already very happy when he heard Jing Geer say that he was a beautiful woman, but now he heard Lang Geer say that he is a beautiful person, Fu Li's heart was filled with soapy water in an instant. Bubbling and bubbling...

beautiful.

But when she turned her head and saw the astonished expression of the old lady, she quickly restrained the smile that could not help appearing on her face, and tensed her expression.

After saying this, Lang Geer seemed to be turned on a switch, thinking seriously, while talking about his imagination of his future wife: "In addition to being beautiful, I also hope that my wife can be like a mother." Generally smart, he can manage Dingweihou's mansion in an orderly manner, and can handle the chores in the back house for me, so that I can work hard outside without any worries."

Fu Li was stunned. Sure enough, as she had thought before, Lang Geer's requirement for his wife was to put the family first.

According to this requirement, the first candidate that came to Fu Li's mind was actually Xue Baochai, but her identity was already a big problem, not to mention that Fu Li didn't like Xue Baochai's temperament very much.

Immediately afterwards, Brother Lang continued: "I hope that the other party can treat me wholeheartedly and be straightforward. I'm an impatient person. I like to speak directly, and I'm impatient to guess and guess."

Fu Li paused, and couldn't help but think of Shi Xiangyun.

In the original book, Lan Geer was tricked by his aunt, and in the end he was able to fall in love with Shi Xiangyun and his wife. It must be because of Shi Xiangyun's "straightforward" temperament.

It's a pity that the historian is now being plagiarized, and Shi Xiangyun may not be seen by the old lady.

Fu Li was picking through the original book in his mind, who would fit Lang Geer's liking, but the old lady suddenly patted the table, and then said with a smile: "Don't tell me, I really have such a perfect person here." A candidate that fits Lang Geer's preferences."

Fu Li suddenly raised his head to look at the old lady, and saw her say cheerfully, "There is a girl in Shishi Gu's family who has a good relationship with our family Mingjing before, who is only one year older than Lang Geer. She is so charming and charming. The most rare thing is that Miss Gu is also a good housekeeper. I heard that Mrs. Gu has already taken care of the housekeeper when the little girl was young, and now she is able to manage the housekeeper alone. The Gu family, which has hundreds of people, is well-managed, and there has never been any trouble. If the Gu family's threshold is not too high, the Gu Xueshi's family may have been stepped on by the matchmaker who proposed marriage."

Fu Li suddenly realized that because the girls in the Dream of the Red Chamber were all excellent, so when she was choosing wives for her two children, she subconsciously compared the qualifications with the girls who appeared in the Dream of the Red Chamber, but in fact, the girls in the Dream of the Red Chamber It's just a microcosm of this world. Although they are the best group of girls in the world, it doesn't mean that there are no other girls who are as good as them in the world.

She immediately dismissed other thoughts in her mind, and instead listened carefully to the old lady's introduction.

"The only difficulty is that Miss Gu has a very high vision, and..." the old lady turned her head to look at Brother Lan, "In her capacity, if the Gu family is interested, the emperor will probably hire someone as a concubine." .”

When Emperor Yonghe came to the throne, he was already forty years old. The first few sons had already married, but there were still three sons who were at the right age for marriage.

With Gu Xueshi's official rank and the identity of the emperor's confidant, his daughter is indeed qualified to marry into the royal family.

Lan Ge'er was still happy when he heard the old lady's words, but now he was a little disappointed: "If it's true what the old lady said, this Miss Gu has a chance to marry into the royal family, and I'm afraid she won't be willing to marry me."

After all, the imperial concubine and Mrs. Hou are really not in the same order.

What's more, after Wei Yan's Marquis of Dingwei is inherited by Lang Geer, whether he will be a marquis or not is not certain.

Fu Li wanted to comfort her. Not all women in this world are willing to marry into the royal family.But she didn't even meet that girl Gu, and didn't know her temperament at all, so she was very worried that if she comforted her and gave Lan Geer hope, in the end, that girl Gu would marry into the royal family wholeheartedly, On the contrary, it was easy to make Lang Ge'er sad, so after hesitating, he simply chose to shut up.

The old lady seemed to realize her recklessness, she paused, and said, "Although Miss Gu is excellent, it's not like there is no one who is better than her in this world. What's more, what the Gu family thinks, we are just guessing here, and it is not the truth Brother Lang, don't worry, even if the Gu family doesn't want to marry their daughter into our Wei family, I can definitely find a better girl than her."

Although the old lady said so, everyone can see that Lang Geer is quite satisfied with this Miss Gu, and obviously he is not going to give up for the time being.

The old lady and Fu Li looked at each other, with some annoyance in their eyes, but thinking of Miss Gu's appearance, she still felt that now was not the time to give up

At least they have to discuss it with Mrs. Gu to make sure that they really have the idea of ​​marrying their daughter into the royal family. If they give up, they won't feel regretful when they think about it later.

It's just that I didn't expect that when Wei Yan came back and heard that Miss Gu was Gu Xueshi's daughter, he didn't even ask her what kind of temperament she was, so he directly rejected this candidate: "Gu Xueshi's status is more important. If his daughter marries any prince, it will pose a threat to the safety of the emperor."

Without waiting for Fu Li to be happy, he heard him speak again, "But it is impossible for the emperor to agree to the marriage between the Gu and Wei families."

Fu Li was stunned: "Why?"

Wei Yan sat aside, and then slowly explained: "Although Gu Xueshi and I are both the emperor's confidantes, we can also be called the emperor's right-hand man. But the emperor may be happy to see me and Gu Xueshi have a harmonious relationship, but he certainly won't want to see me. Gu Xueshi and I are really on the same line. The reason is the same as his reluctance to let Gu Xueshi's daughter marry the prince, and the marriage between the Gu and Wei families will also pose a certain threat to the emperor."

The author has something to say: There are two more changes before twelve o'clock, okay?
