Chapter seven hundred and thirty second concubines
Chapter 732: Taking a concubine
"Old man, are you a little weird about that Princess Yuzhang?" After returning from Wolong Temple to see Princess Yuzhang, Liu He asked in front of their old man: "As a princess of a country, she is always tall and arrogant. When she sees us, she is a little shy and dodged, so she doesn't say anything. She just said that every time she hears her expression and expression when she mentions our eldest son, why do I always feel very special in my heart? Do you think she falls in love with our eldest son?"
Every time she thinks about the situation when she meets Princess Yuzhang and the others during the day, Liu He always can't help but have more time in her head. She will not mention her identity as Princess of the Tang Dynasty. When she first saw this beautiful girl, Liu He felt very friendly. Especially when she saw her shy and reserved little daughter's posture, she felt even more happy from the bottom of her heart. From time to time, she thought that it would be good if she told her eldest son that she would have such a concubine.
"After that, now the family business is big and the people in our Liu family are so thin, so we should consider taking a concubine for the eldest son." As if jokingly, Liu He said irrelevantly: "You said, if our eldest son really becomes a son-in-law, then wouldn't we also become a relative with the emperor? If those relatives who had seen us who had seen beggars know, wouldn't they regret it in their hearts?"
Liu He raised his little face and thought about beautiful things in his heart. Although she was not a person who was good at holding grudges, she only thought about the scene when the Liu family was still in ruins a few years ago, just to ask for a few coins to treat the eldest son, she was mocked and ridiculed by old Liu's distant cousins just to ask for a few coins to treat her.
"Okay, okay, don't daydream here," Lao Liu sat in front of the stove in the room with his wife's support, picked up the hot tea that had just been brewed on the table and drank it. He looked up and glanced at Liu He and said, "What is the identity of Your Highness? Wearing gold and silver, gold juice and jade liquid! Can anyone marry that? "
"Not to mention being a concubine, even if you are a regular family like our Liu family, even if you are a wife, you may not be willing to marry him." After swallowing a mouthful of hot tea, Lao Liu gently put the tea bowl and turned his head to look inside and outside the house. Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered to Liu He, "Also, that girl Chuchu has a good character, good morals, and good manners, and now she has added a small golden grandson to our Liu family. What is the point that would be inferior to that princess?"
"And they are very loving. For example, you should not mention the words of marrying and taking concubines in the future, so as not to make the daughter-in-law's mind feel cold and cause disagreement between them." After all his life, Lao Liu's mind has not changed much after so many years. They cannot afford to be the princess' identity, and for them, a wife is enough. If there are too many, it will be difficult to raise.
Moreover, the wife has always been kind to both of them, and has never lost her duties and has surpassed her. She has not been able to find any reason with Chuchu, her daughter-in-law, and she is also looking at her joy from the bottom of her heart.
"Looking at what you said, it seems that I have become a villain," Liu He looked at their old man in a sneeringly. "Don't I want our old Liu family to open more branches? Besides, let's not talk about Chang'an City, just look at our Sanyuan, the villages near our Gutian, and all the households with some family businesses are not three wives and four concubines, and many children are full of children? Our eldest child is not worse than them, so why can't we marry a few more?"
"This..." Lao Liu was a little dumb when he heard his wife ask this. Although he couldn't accept it, he knew that what his wife said was the truth.
In the past, it was fine if the family was poor, but Lao Liu was already grateful to be able to get a wife for the two kids in the family. But now, the eldest son has some skills and has made such a big family business in less than two years. He has some identities outside. If there are not many concubines in the mansion, he will inevitably be laughed at if he tells it.
But will their eldest son care about the opinions of those people? Lao Liu shook his head lightly. He still knows his son, but he doesn't know him.
‘Let your own way and let others say it!’, isn’t this just the words that young and old people often say?
"Of course, Chuchu, who is good at weaving and embroidery, knows fonts, and knows cooking skills. Whether it is to take care of your husband and children, or to manage the family business in our mansion, it can be said that everything is fine. It was a great blessing for our eldest son to marry her, and I also like it very much."
When talking about Chuchu's daughter-in-law, Liu He couldn't help but smile. To be honest, Liu He was also extremely satisfied and happy with Chuchu's girl. Since Chuchu got together, they had never had a word between mother and daughter. The relationship was even more tangible than that of their biological mother and daughter.
"Chu Chu's child is well-behaved. If this matter was mentioned to her, she wouldn't think she would..." At this point, Liu He's voice paused a little. Thinking of Chu Chu's filial and well-behaved appearance, the old lady felt a little reluctant. She was also a woman. She knew that if this kind of thing was put on a woman, no one would feel comfortable, so as she said, Liu He's words could not be continued.
"What's wrong? Do you feel a little reluctant to bear it?" Seeing that my wife wanted to speak, Lao Liu smiled. After sleeping on a couch for so many years, Lao Liu still knew a little about her wife's temperament. She was quick-talking and her heart was slow. She had just thought about her son before, but this time when she thought of her daughter-in-law, she understood it and began to feel heartbroken.
"Although marriage is the order of parents and the words of the matchmaker, some things are not something we can do," he signaled his wife to sit down beside him. Old Liu brought a pot and poured a bowl of tea for Liu He and pushed it to her, and said softly: "It depends on the children's intentions like taking a concubine. If the eldest child and the second boy had this idea, but they couldn't see the face, so let's come forward to make decisions for them."
"Isn't it just a concubine? I'm not a stubborn person. I think our eldest son and second boy have their current status and status. Even if we really marry three or five, no one will take it."
"But if they don't want to, and their daughter-in-law is not unfilial, we old couple should not say too much, so as not to cause hatred and disagreement among the children." Putting down the teapot in their hands, Lao Liu said, "So, it's okay to think about this matter in your heart, don't mention it to others."
"Yeah, the master said this, I did think a little wrong before." After hearing their old man said it was reasonable, Liu He was reluctant to accept it in front of Lao Liu.
At this moment, in the bedroom of Liu Yi and his wife, the little Baoer Liu Zhiyuan had already fallen asleep peacefully and left it to Xiao Xi to take care of him in the side room. After Liu Yi came back from outside, Zhang Chuchu personally fetched water and cleaned his face, and waited for him to go to the bed with a wide dress.
"Husband," Zhang Chuchu turned over and hugged her husband's arm, and while the flames outside the window and the courtyard was not completely extinguished, she looked up at Liu Yi and said, "In the daytime, Princess Yuzhang and Xiao Ya are here."
"Oh? That girl is coming?" Liu Yi couldn't help but chuckled, stretched out his arms and hugged his wife's body, and said softly: "I haven't seen each other for so many days, and I really miss her a little. What did she say?"
"No, I just want to see you, but Butler Luo went out to find his husband for one morning but failed. Finally, he had to pout and go back to the palace with his mouth." Seeing that his husband did not mention Princess Yuzhang, Zhang Chuchu didn't care. He chuckled and replied: "Also, Princess Jinyang and His Highness Jin, who came with them, also think about their husbands tightly, but fortunately, they had a little sister by their side and had fun."
"Oh? Is that right?" Liu Yi smiled knowingly when he thought of the three naughty little guys, and said, "When you have free time in a few days, go to the palace to visit them so that they will not see each other in the future. What kind of face will they show their husbands?"
"Husband is joking. Although the three high men are not old, they are all people who know etiquette and righteousness. No matter how much you say, they were their enlightenment masters. How could you give your husband a look?" Zhang Chuchu looked at Liu Yiyi with a angrily look, and Zhang Chuchu continued, "There is one thing that needs to be greeted to you in advance."
Looking up at Liu Yi's voice, as if waiting for the following text, Zhang Chuchu said straight: "Your Highness Princess Yuzhang came to the mansion on behalf of the Empress to ask, saying that it was the set of quilts I sent to the palace last time. If there were any extras, I would like to order more. There should be more than a thousand pieces in total. I will make my own decisions and have already paid for my husband. However, the specific price and delivery date will be required to be decided by my husband."
"Oh?" He looked stunned, and then he figured out some questions from his wife's words. Liu Yi said softly: "In this way, the quilt we gave to our godmother a few days ago had already been handed over to the Queen?"
"Husband said it well. When I asked my godmother in the afternoon, although my godmother was vague, it is not difficult to see from Princess Yuzhang's words that my godmother must have given us good words in front of the Empress." Zhang Chuchu nodded and said, "So, just before my husband came back, I had a small joy to my godmother and elder brother, which was considered to express my gratitude. After all, we are all relatives now, not outsiders. If you thank me, you will inevitably seem reckless. Therefore, I think we should remember the kindness of my godmother in my heart."
