Chapter 634: Three Wives and Four Concubines
Li Lizhi sat in the carriage and looked at Zhang Nan's mansion, feeling infinitely melancholy in her heart, what is this called, as the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, she is now actually sent to the courtier's house by her father, and she has to pretend to be husband and wife with this courtier.
Although Li Lizhi had a faint feeling of anticipation in her heart, she was still a little embarrassed after all.
"Go, knock on the door." Li Lizhen said to the palace maid beside her.
"Yes." After the palace maid answered, she walked forward quickly and knocked on the door of Zhang Nan's mansion.
The door was opened by Lao Su, and after revealing his identity, Lao Su quickly led Li Lizhen in. After Li Lizhen entered the gate, he asked, "That, isn't Master Zhang in the house now?" ”
"If you go back to the princess, the lord will take his wife to the private club, and he should be back soon." Lao Su replied truthfully.
"Really? I heard that Mr. Zhang has been sick in recent days, how can he still have the time to accompany his wife to the private club? Li Lizhi asked a little strangely.
"Ah, the lord has indeed been sick in recent days, and his health is only slightly better today, so the lord took the lady who has not been out to the private club." Lao Su explained.
"Okay, I know, you go and get busy with yours, I'll wait here for Master Zhang and him to come back." After Li Lizhi finished speaking, she sat on a chair in the main hall and began to wait for Zhang Nan to come back.
Before a few cups of tea, Zhang Nan came back, but as soon as he opened the door, when Zhang Nan saw Li Lizhen, Zhang Nan was shocked, and when Li Lizhen saw three women around Zhang Nan, Li Lizhen was also shocked.
"Why did the princess come to my house at this time? It is definitely impossible for the princess to come by herself, could it be that Li Er is also here? Zhang Nan thought in his heart.
"Doesn't he have only one lady? And who are the other two? Could it be that he has already taken a concubine? So what should I do? Li Lizhen also thought silently in her heart.
Zhang Nan didn't dare to stay longer, so he walked directly to Li Lizhen's side: "The grass people see the princess." ”
"Master Zhang, how can you call yourself a grass people?" Li Li said with a smile.
"This, I have already resigned from the government, and now I have no official position, what is this not called a grass people?" Zhang Nan asked rhetorically.
"Lord Zhang, you don't call it resignation, you took off your official robe in the Taiji Hall at most, and my father didn't agree to your resignation, by the way, doesn't Lord Zhang plan to introduce these two to you?"
Although Li Lizhen's tone was as usual, she still minded very much in her heart. Although Jindeman and Jin Shengman had already been to Comrade Li Er's palace, they were there to talk about business, and Comrade Li Er stayed in the Wenxiang Hall with Jindeman whenever he had the opportunity, so Li Lizhen had never seen Jindeman and Jin Shengman.
After Zhang Nan thought about it for a while, he planned to directly introduce the new identities of the two.
"This is the senior sister below." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he raised his hand and gestured to Jindeman beside him.
Jindeman also smiled slightly at Li Li, after all, she will be the concubine of Comrade Li Er in the future, and Jindeman herself is still from the empress, so Jindeman did not want to salute Li Liqian.
And Li Lizhen heard that Jindeman was Zhang Nan's senior sister, and she didn't think much about etiquette, after all, she had also heard about Zhang Nan's previous glorious deeds, so she didn't take this little thing to heart.
"This is a distant relative of my wife, and she is a cousin, but there was a sudden change in her family, so she came to join her cousin." Zhang Nan said with a smile.
Hearing Zhang Nan say this, Jin Shengman also glanced at Zhang Nan.
"Oh? Since they are relatives, why don't they live in Lord Cui's mansion, but in your mansion in Lord Zhang? This shouldn't be a marriage match, so it's not in line with etiquette. Li Lizhen quickly heard the loophole in Zhang Nan's words.
"This ......" Zhang Nan was questioned by Li Li, he really didn't think about it so much.
"I haven't seen my cousin for many years, I played well with my cousin when I was a child, and now that my cousin is married, I still want to be with my cousin, right, cousin." Jin Shengman said, and poked Cui Yue's waist, and Cui Yue hurriedly nodded yes.
"This one doesn't need to be introduced, you've seen it, princess, this is my wife." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, Cui Yue saluted Li Li.
Li Lizhi also nodded slightly.
"By the way, I forgot to ask the princess why you came to me today." Zhang Nan scratched his head and asked, it stands to reason that the relationship between Zhang Nan and Li Lizhen is not good enough to visit each other, even if it is so good, Li Lizhen can't just go to the minister's house casually, and he is alone.
Zhang Nan had quietly observed just now, and there was no breath of Comrade Li Er in the entire mansion, so Zhang Nan's hanging heart was put down.
"This ...... I hope to be able to talk to you alone, Master Zhang. After all, Li Lizhi is thin-skinned, and the thought of pretending to be husband and wife makes Li Liqin's face hot for a while, not to mention that now Zhang Nan's genuine wife is still around, Li Liqin can't speak.
After Zhang Nan heard this, he thought that Li Lizhen came with some secret mission of Comrade Li Er, so he asked Cui Yue and them to go to the backyard first, although Zhang Nan is now resigned, but if Comrade Li Er encounters any difficulties, Zhang Nan still has to help.
After Cui Yue and the others left the main hall, Li Lizhen said the matter as it was, and in the end, her voice became smaller and quieter, and Zhang Nan took a lot of effort to hear what Li Lizhen said.
Hearing the end, Zhang Nan was also shocked.
"Princess, I'm afraid this doesn't make sense." As soon as Zhang Nan heard that he was going to pretend to be husband and wife with Li Liqing, he was immediately unhappy, but it was not easy to refuse openly, so he could only say so.
Li Lizhi also nodded after hearing this, and then said: "Father said that he guessed that you would say this, and Father said that he had promised Datang that he would never make peace again, but now he still had to send those envoys away, and said that he had already done what Lord Zhang proposed, and now it was time for Lord Zhang to share his worries." ”
“......”
"Well said, it makes sense, I'm speechless." Zhang Nan said silently in his heart.
"Then this pretended thing, is it only the Yuan Ri Dynasty meeting for one day?" Since Zhang Nan had no way to refuse, he could only ask how many days he had to pretend to be this. If it was one day, Zhang Nan would still be able to accept it, but if it was a long time, Zhang Nan would not be able to stand it.
"It's only one day, wait until those envoys meet Lord Zhang, but I need to live in Lord Zhang's mansion for a few days." Li Li asked.
"When will the Yuan-Japan Dynasty begin?"
"The fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
“......”
"Is this considered to have started the life of three wives and four concubines? In the end, I was still affected by the bad traditions of the old society. Zhang Nan thought silently in his heart.
