【Chapter 342】The Concubine

Wei Wu.

Back hall, inner courtyard lobby.

"Wuxia, go, you must pay attention to your husband and never let him be nostalgic for the land of romance."

Li Xin sat in the main seat in the middle of the lobby, watching Dian Wuxia change outfit and wear armor, rubbing her temples with delicate hands, and urging helplessly.

"Sister, stop urging me, please go right away, okay?" Dian Wuxia muttered while putting on armor.

Chen Yu and Dong Wan looked at Dian Wuxia's reluctance and covered their mouths and laughed secretly, but they were also extremely disgusted with their husband Li Li entering and leaving the brothel fireworks. However, they are now like Li Xin, with a slightly raised belly, showing signs of pregnancy, and are somewhat inconvenient to move. They are cautious in their daily lives, fearing that they will get angry, so they rarely walk out of the backyard.

In the inner courtyard, in addition to Li Xin, Chen Yu and Dong Wan, Cai Yan was also pregnant for one month. Since this, four of the six wives in the Li family have been pregnant, only Dian Wuxia and Ren Hongchang have not been moved yet.

Because of this, the inner family has quietly changed recently. The original six sisters have re-ranked their rankings, Li Xin is the eldest wife of the main wife, that is, the eldest sister, Chen Yu of the side wife is the second sister, Dong Wan is the third, Cai Yan is the fourth, Dian Wuxia is the fifth, and Ren Hongchang is the sixth.

Since ancient times, mothers are noble because of their sons, and the inner courtyard of Li’s mansion is no exception.

No matter if Li Xin, Chen Yu and the other four people gave birth to children, they are now pregnant and their identities naturally rise. This subtle change is formed quietly and does not need anyone to propose it specifically, and they will naturally generate new rules invisibly.

In addition, a sister has recently been added in the backyard, which is Tang Ji. However, she was the latest in the entrance and had a special status. She was the widow of the young emperor Liu Bian, so she could only be a concubine and had a relatively low status in the backyard of Li's mansion. However, the six older women including Li Xin were not opposed to her sudden joining. They enthusiastically accepted her and arranged her next door to Dian Wuxia. They had no intention of despising her at all, and they were treated like a wife.

However, Tang Ji came from the palace courtyard, and the concept of superiority and inferiority was deeply rooted in the bones. She respected the six wives of the family, and was very respectful to the rules everywhere and abide by their duties. In the past two months since she entered the back hall of Meiwu, she has never done anything beyond her limits. She was cautious in words and actions, and was gentle and decent, elegant and generous. Just like today, the eldest wife Li Xin summoned her sisters to denounce her husband Li Li. In the end, the six wives unanimously agreed that Dian Wuxia went to Chang'an to "take care of" Li Li. But Tang Ji was always sitting upright and silent, and did not participate in the "criticism" of her husband Li Li from beginning to end.

"Seventh sister, are you worried about not talking?" Cai Yan sat next to Tang Ji and asked in a low voice.

Tang Ji smiled and said softly, "Thank you for your care in the fourth sister. I just thought that the Secretary Li Xuan came to Meiwu yesterday to distribute the large-scale military food, pay and weapons. I believe my husband will lead his troops to fight again recently. My husband has been in trouble recently. I have been in trouble at Huayue Tower, but it is understandable that he will relax a little. Are we sisters so much trouble? Will you be unhappy about it? My husband is about to go to war. In my foolish opinion, my sister Wuxia doesn't have to go to Chang'an. Maybe my husband will come back tonight."

Cai Yan deeply admired Tang Ji's words and said with a laugh: "The seventh sister is kind and kind. She knows the general, takes the overall situation into consideration, and thinks about her husband everywhere. Her husband is really good at eyes and good fortune! However, the seventh sister has been in the mansion for a short time, and she may have misunderstood her elder sister and the others. In fact, they also know that her husband will be about to lead a military force to the west. They are worried about her husband in their hearts, so they use the poor excuse of Huayuelou to invite her husband back to the inner palace to relieve the pain of lovesickness. Don't look at her elder sister, the second sister and the third sister complain about her husband one by one. They talk about her husband as if she was abandoned at first and last. However, as soon as the husband comes back, their resentment will disappear immediately and there will be no complaints.

Hahaha! Being harmonious and respectful to each other is not necessarily a good thing. On the contrary, saying things directly with concern and dissatisfaction is conducive to promoting the relationship between husband and wife. This sentence is not what I said, but the husband solemnly asked us to do this in front of our sisters. Qimei thinks that your husband's words make sense?"

"Oh?" Tang Ji was shocked, looked at Cai Yan in disbelief, and asked softly: "Sister Fourth is serious? But we are husbands' wives and concubines, so how can we talk about our husbands' misunderstandings? Isn't this inconsistent with etiquette?"

Cai Yan smiled and said, "Does Qimei think our husband is a person who follows etiquette? In the four hundred years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, who dared to marry six wives at once except for the kings of all generations? However, our husband dared to do this, and did it openly and not afraid of others' words. Besides, Qimei, what is your identity? When the Prime Minister Dong was alive, he coveted the appearance of Qimei, but he did not dare to go beyond the line and dare not openly rob Qimei. Now his husband is in charge of Chang'an and leads his army to Chang'an for the first night.

When I went to the house, the seventh sister was discovered by my husband and was taken to the Nei Mansion of Nei Wu the next day. From this, it is not difficult for the seventh sister to discover that our husband is not an ordinary reckless general, nor is he a pedantic ordinary man. For the husband, you either do not do it or do it, you will not be afraid of criticism from others. Therefore, it is a blessing given to us by our sisters in this life that we can meet our husband in this life, and we can express our views on our husband without any hesitation, which is the husband's favor and respect for us.

But,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Hahaha!" Just as Dian Wuxia was wearing war armor and saying goodbye to Li Xin and others, Li Li laughed heartily into the inner courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, Li Li strode into the main hall of the backyard, looked at Cai Yan and Tang Ji who were close to the main entrance with a smile, and said with a smile: "Yan'er, how could you be considered as your husband's place of nostalgia in the brothel? Did you listen to Yuan Zhong? This brother-in-law, I'm afraid that the world will not be in chaos! The two sons of Liu Yan in Yizhou spent a lot of money to open the Huayue Tower. Because his husband felt that something was strange, he went to see it in person. It was less than half an hour. Unexpectedly, it reached your ears the next day. As a result, you thought it was a rash thought and unruly thought, and you took the blame for your husband. You said that he was romantic and unruly. How unruly I am so wronged!"

While talking, Li Li quickly walked to Li Xin and signaled that they didn't have to get up and salute, and then sat in the main seat on the right.

He took the hot tea handed over by Zou Jing and took a sip. Li Li looked at Li Xin, Chen Yu and Dong Wan with a warm face, and continued, "You are pregnant. You need to rest and rest. If you have time, you can take a walk in the garden and water pavilion, keep a good attitude, and don't think about it all day long. A few days ago, I asked the emperor to issue an edict to recruit the miracle doctors Hua Tuo and Changsha Zhang Ji to teach in the Imperial Academy and the martial arts hall, and specifically asked them to come and take care of you in their spare time. They will also come as they pass on the road in the future. These two people are the few miracle doctors in the Han Dynasty. Hua Tuo is good at treating bruises and injuries and trauma, Zhang Ji is good at difficult and complicated diseases and internal discomforts, and has superb medical skills and the ability to bring back the dead. He is actually a rare talent in the world. In the future, the two of them come to Mei Wu Shi. Be sure to treat each other with courtesy and not neglect.

As for the Huayue Tower in Chang'an, it is not worthy of the truth. Unfortunately, the world is in chaos, and many women have nowhere to make a living, and most of the males were recruited by the princes to serve as soldiers and fight on the battlefield. Since then, as the wars in various prefectures and counties become more and more fierce. The number of young and strong men is fighting, and more and more women are becoming more and more, and brothels are born. In the chaotic times, it is impossible to ban brothels and fireworks. Therefore, in Chang'an City

The brothels will continue to increase, and there will be brothels in various prefectures and counties in the future. The situation in the world is like this. Even if you are willing to rectify these smoky places, you are powerless and have to let it go and strengthen supervision. But you can rest assured that although you are not a gentleman, you will not be nostalgic for brothel women. I, Li Li, have you with you in this life, which is a great blessing. How can you indulge in the dust and willow alleys?"

After explaining the whole story of his trip to Huayue Tower in one breath, Li Li paused for a moment, but saw Li Xin, Chen Yu, Dian Wuxia and others with strange expressions on his face. He immediately asked in surprise: "What are your expressions? Don't you believe what I said?"

"Hahaha!" After hearing this, Li Xin and others burst into laughter, laughing so hard that they leaned forward and swayed in a state of grace.

Dian Wuxia walked behind Li Li lightly, reached out to rub Li Li's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Husband, who said that our sisters suspected that you had an affair with the brothel girl? We are just worried that you have not served you for a long time, and that you are too lonely and too lonely. Sisters, am I right?"

"Yes! Hehehe——!" Li Xin, Chen Yu, Cai Yan and others hadn't played with Li Li for a long time. After hearing Dian Wuxia's words, they all responded with laughter.

"Hahaha!" Li Li felt warm in his heart when he saw the happy smiles of the girls. However, while laughing, he felt that he owed them too much. In the past two months, he rarely went home and was busy with military affairs and the establishment of the school. Only when Dian Wuxia and Cai Yan went to Chang'an to see him, could the couple have a short chance of getting along. Now that he finally sorted out the things in Chang'an, he had to lead his troops to fight. This Western Expedition must have been several months. If the two states of Xiliang were not pacified, he would definitely not be able to return to Chang'an.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Li waved his hand to call Zou Jing and whispered to her to hold a banquet in the open air in the West Garden.

After Zou Jing swayed her slender waist and quickly left, Li Li stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the garden to enjoy flowers, fish, and have meals in the pavilion in the evening. In three days, I will lead a large army to fight westward and wipe out all the princes and bandits in Liangzhou. In the past three days, I will not go anywhere, and I will accompany you in the inner palace. I hope you don't bother you! Hahaha!"

"Husband!" Li Li's words moved Li Xin, Chen Yu, Cai Yan and others with tears in their eyes, while Dian Wuxia and Li Xin got the moon first near the water and rushed into Li Li's arms with tenderness.

Until then, Li Li suddenly realized that his chest was too narrow. Chen Yu, Dong Wan, Cai Yan, Ren Hongchang and Tang Ji were unable to grab a seat. They could only stand beside him with tenderness, looking pitiful, pity, and making him feel distressed.

"Don't cry, don't cry, okay? These days are wrong for your husband, and you are neglected. However, now our army has recruited many famous scholars and talents, and we will not do this in the future. We promise you. Today, when our husband and wife are reunited, what do you want and what you want to play, you will definitely accompany you for your husband!" Seeing that the seven wives and concubines were so obsessed with him, Li Li felt proud and ashamed, and the softest forbidden area in his heart was touched, and he said anxiously at a loss.

By the time Li Li took his beautiful wife and concubine to the West Garden, half an hour later, Zou Jing had already asked someone to arrange pastries and fruits, and two round tables were also arranged in the waterside hallway.

Throughout the afternoon, Li Li Gan was a servant of his wives and concubines, running around and running, making them smile happily and laugh continuously. This was an extremely rare leisure time that Li Li spent over the past six months, warm and sweet, and letting the time pass by in the laughter and joy. ——————(To be continued)
