413 Concubinage (540 votes)

"This girl is skinier than a boy, and she has a belly and eyes, and you will suffer if you don't discipline you in the future." Hong Tao and his daughter have been together for a whole day, and they have basically figured out her character.

I don't have much thought in my heart except for worrying about my wife, anyway, the eldest princess will take care of the children in the future, and I can't share it if I want to, so I can't take my daughter to the front line. Even if you are willing, can your uncle be willing?

"Jia'er is only so happy to see the official, she is much quieter at home on weekdays, but she has no playmates and is a little lonely." The eldest princess must know more about her daughter's character, for fear that her husband will be annoying, and she works hard to beautify it.

"Then why don't you add a few more brothers and sisters to Jia'er?" He gets along well with his daughter, but Hong Tao still has a problem to solve, that is, Fu Ji.

“…… To give birth to so much! That, that ......" Sure enough, as soon as she heard that she was going to have a child, and there was more than one, the eldest princess's face immediately turned green.

Giving birth to Wang Xiaoya this time can't be said to be too dangerous, but it's not very smooth, and the doctor said that she will have to raise her for a few years before she can get pregnant again. But the husband said that he couldn't say that he wouldn't have a child, so he couldn't help but look at the green lotus who was waiting on the side.

"I don't need Green Lotus's help in this matter for the time being, what does the lady think of Fu Ji?" Green Lotus and Ziju are both good girls, but Hong Tao can't take care of them for the time being, so let's talk about business first.

"Fuji? How does she compare to Green Lotus...... Officials don't like green lotus? This choice was very unexpected by the eldest princess, she had never regarded Fu Ji as a woman, and she didn't understand why her husband didn't choose a younger and more beautiful green lotus, so she couldn't help but ask directly. Without waiting for Hong Tao to give an answer, Green Lotus ran away with his head down first, so sad!

"This official and Fu Ji have already become husband and wife, and they can't abandon ...... from the beginning to the end" This question made Hong Tao a little embarrassed, saying that he came to discuss with his wife, but he did everything, and it didn't seem to be sincere to discuss again.

"When officials lead troops outside, it is natural that there must be someone around to serve them. I thought that Lian'er and Ziju would be able to take on this position, but since the official likes Fu Ji, the concubine will go to tell her clearly, and marry before the official goes to the office. ”

The eldest princess was just a little puzzled in terms of candidates, it was inevitable to accept Lian'er, and the next one should have been Ziju, but I didn't expect Fu Ji to suddenly intervene. However, with his husband's consistent style, even if he marries an old lady and princess, it will not be too strange, as long as the husband likes it.

"Although the lady arranged, I brought a few trusted veterans with me when I came back this time, and I stayed in the house to listen to it. Let them follow when you go out in the future, and don't be afraid of trouble. ”

As a man, Hong Tao sometimes really thinks that it is better in ancient times, marrying a concubine is as simple as that, there is no quarrel and anger, and sometimes it is impossible if you don't want it. After solving Fu Ji's problem, there is one more thing that needs to be arranged, and that is the safety of the family.

“…… The eldest brother has already sent a forbidden army...... "The eldest princess doesn't really understand anything, as soon as her husband said that he wanted to keep his relatives in the palace, she sensed that something was wrong, but the deep-rooted education made her unable to ask about the affairs of the court."

"The forbidden army of the official family is just putting on a show to deter Xiaoxiao, I have killed many enemies at the border pass, and I have not offended the officials and border troops of the imperial court, they are worse than the Xixia people, and they are prepared. Okay, go and comfort Green Lotus, it's not easy for her to help you bring Jia'er in the house, so she said that after Ziju came back, the official would accept it together, and she couldn't favor one over the other, so she didn't think about it too much. ”

The explanation that should be explained is clear, the meat slices are almost eaten, but the lamb belly is still missing. Thinking about the expression of the green lotus just now, I guess I don't want to eat it today if I don't persuade him. This work has to be handed over to his wife, and he doesn't know anything.

Accepting a concubine, I don't seem to be difficult in my impression, especially for the rich and noble, whether it is a love affair or a redemption with money, anyway, take a sedan chair to carry people into the house, and there is no need to set up a banquet, let alone invite guests, just enter the cave room directly.

But in fact, it is not that simple, and the formalities are almost as cumbersome as marrying a wife. First of all, it is the permission of his wife and his wife's family, which is basically passed, and the eldest princess will go to talk to the emperor, presumably the emperor will not interfere.

The second is to find a matchmaker, yes, in the Song Dynasty, you also had to find an intermediary to take a concubine. They are not only intermediaries, but also procedural safeguards and witnesses, and they have the force of law.

Finally, before taking a concubine, the matchmaker or intermediary will write the details, agreement, redemption price, etc. of both parties into a contract, and then get the relevant departments to file taxes, and then officially complete the legal procedures.

Neither Hong Tao has to do these things himself, nor does the eldest princess have to show up, and Mama Wang is all on her behalf. She didn't object to the concubine this time, but was quite positive.

Why? Hong Tao also asked the eldest princess in private, and the answer was that Mama Wang was afraid that the concubine was eager to have a son, so she forced the eldest princess to get pregnant again, thus killing her.

And Fuji is no stranger to her, and she is not the kind of woman who is good at competing for favor by pleasing men with foxes, and she can also help the horse work hard outside, and it is not only harmless to receive her in the house, but also beneficial.

What Hong Tao needs to do every day is to play with his daughter and play all kinds of games. Wang Xiaoya is very enjoyable, smiling every day when she sleeps. She had never met someone so good at playing, and even asked her mother if she could recognize more fathers, wouldn't that be more fun.

When she learned that each child could only have one father, Xiaoya immediately cherished it. It's just that her way of cherishing is more direct, that is, she pesters her father for twelve hours every day, and she has to hold her father's hand when she sleeps, otherwise she won't close her eyes.

This can make Hong Tao sad and gray hair, coaxing the child, what should the eldest princess do? The couple only see each other once in two years, and they must have wasted a lot of their studies, so they must make up for it as much as possible!

So Fu Ji took over the role of temporary nanny, she was not as funny and funny as Hong Tao, but she had a lot of camels to ride. You don't have to take care of Wang Xiaoya all day, as long as the child can leave the eldest princess's yard for a while, Hong Tao will be satisfied.

Busy and unknowingly, the first month of Yuanfeng's sixth year is over. At the beginning of February, Fu Ji finally got her wish, and was carried into the courtyard from the main entrance of the Horse Mansion in a ceremonial dress and a sedan chair.

This procedure is a bit violated, it is said that the main wife can only go through the front door when he enters, and the concubines are all through the back door. However, this was arranged by the eldest princess, she said that Fu Ji had no family, she was lonely, and a woman was like this once in her life, so it didn't hurt to be a little unruly.

This is said very atmosphericly, and only the eldest princess dares to say it so lightly. She's fine, so what? Now no one in the court can care about whether a married princess is reckless, and she is all busy with the reform of the currency system in Huangzhou. It's not to help the king of horses, but to calculate the gains and losses of doing so, and then decide whether to support or oppose.

Hong Tao has only been to the court once since he came back, and it is still a big court meeting, and according to the regulations, all officials who are of enough grade in Beijing must go. After a few hours of staring and ostracism, no one paid attention to him, not even the emperor.

This is not a bad thing for Hong Tao, as long as the emperor can withstand the pressure, he will not summon himself, the main reason is that his reputation is too stinky, there are too many enemies, and always showing up will cause public anger, and what can be done will also be yellow.

To be honest, Hong Tao is really not happy to go to the court, and he is not willing to go to the Chongzheng Palace to discuss matters again. It's too hard to work with those people, you have to calculate the gains and losses before you say every word, and you have to fight with others in less than three times with your temper.

How good it is to accompany the bride at home, Fu Ji lived in the courtyard of the former concubine, and she didn't dare to get up late the next day on the wedding night, so she went to the courtyard of the eldest princess early to stand by.

In ancient times, concubines are actually no different from calling girls, and they should be called girls with girls. The wife is the concubine's day, and if the official doesn't like it, at most he doesn't care, and if the wife doesn't like it, the big trouble will come.

Although Fu Ji will not live in the Horse Mansion for a long time, the perennial inner palace life makes her attach great importance to the rules, and the distinction between what status and what kind of things should be done is very clear.

And the eldest princess was originally of noble birth, she didn't think there was anything wrong with serving the eldest princess, she was quite handy and very intimate.
