Liu Xunjiao is right, everyone has been waiting for this happy day for a long time. When the post is sent, the chief officer of the Xuan Army stationed all over Jiangsu, who doesn't want to go back to Shanghai to drink this cup of wine? So in addition to Liu Yulin, who took over the defense of the Huai Army and led the Lin Regiment to garrison Jiaxing, was ordered not to leave, the rest of the people set off to return to Shanghai, and even Forrest, who was far away in Zhenjiang, had already arrived.

Taking a concubine and marrying a wife are two different things.

Marrying a wife is a serious matter, and it is also a very grand event. As Guan Zhuofan's third-class Jia Yonghou, once he marries a wife, on the day of the ceremony, all of his brothers in the army may not be qualified to participate.

Concubinage is different, which stems from the inequality of the status of wives and concubines in the ritual system. For example, in the Song Dynasty, there was an interesting rule - those whose wives walked without permission migrated for three years, those who remarried flowed three thousand miles, and the concubines were reduced by one grade.

In other words, although the concubine has less power, she also has fewer obligations.

Therefore, taking a concubine is an easy thing, a happy event, a lively event, and an interesting thing.

But those who are familiar with Guan Zhuofan know that the relationship between him and Hu Qingqing is extraordinary! It's probably just that due to the limitations of the system, Hu Qingqing has to be relegated to the position of an aunt's wife, and Guan Zhuofan has not married a wife, and Hu Qingqing's identity is not much different from the main room, so no one dares to ignore it.

Another incident is that Miss Hu was in the most difficult time of the Xuan Army, and she was raised to enter the government, which can be regarded as having an experience of sharing hardships with everyone, and she is very close emotionally, so everyone is thinking about what to send, so that Hou Ye and the future Aunt Hu are too happy.

Only Túrin and Zhang Shun. Really know the roots. The heart said that the Guan family mansion in Beijing was about the inner house. The governor's yamen of Shanghai is about a foreign house.

is also thinking like this, and the fourth Mrs. Luo, but the thoughts in her heart are not the same thing as Thurin Zhang Shun and them.

"I'm such a girl with fine skin and tender meat, I'm going to take it cheaply." The beautiful Mrs. Luo hugged Hu Qingqing, who had just come out of the bath and wiped off the water stains on her body. whispered in her ear, "It's really delicate." ”

Mrs. Luo's identity is a sister and a sister-in-law. The custom of the Jiangnan family, when the bride leaves the pavilion, from the inside to the outside, the female relatives of the family dress her up, so the night before the wedding, the two of them sleep together. And this job is most suitable for my sister-in-law to do it. Because they often have the responsibility of teaching the etiquette of morality.

"Sister, don't be interested...... Such a shame. "Even though everyone is a woman. But the naked Hu Qingqing still blushed, and sat on the edge of the bed with her legs tight, her snow-white body trembling slightly because she was nervous or shy. There was a red silk on the bed, and a small red dress, all of which were prepared for the bride.

Mrs. Luo smiled, picked up the bunch of red silk bandeau next to her, and compared it to her on her chest. When Hu Qingqing raised her arms, she was not in a hurry to compare, holding the red silk hands, holding a support under Hu Qingqing's breasts, watching the pepper milk tremble, and said with a smile: "Your master, it is really delicious." ”

The secret words of the boudoir have no taboos, but Hu Qingqing is just a newcomer in the end, and she is so ashamed that she can't raise her head. Mrs. Luo smiled and put on the dirty clothes for her, patted her on the lower abdomen gently, and said with a smile: "Guan Hou Ye is a blessed person, you entered his door, naturally you are also blessed, raise a doll for him earlier." ”

This is a good prayer, Hu Qingqing thanked with a red face.

"Sister, Mr. Liu specially instructed me to let you wear a red dress and go on a sedan chair," Mrs. Luo said seriously, "Do you understand, what does this mean?" ”

When getting married, only the main room can wear a red dress, which is naturally understood. But Hu Qingqing refused to say, just blushed and shook her head.

"We are such a charming person, of course it is wronged to marry him as a side room." Mrs. Luo still hugged her and said, "But he is a flag man, this is no way to do it, fortunately, your old man knows that he is distressed and knows your grievances." There is such a statement, even if it is affectionate, at least in Shanghai, he is looking at you as the person in charge. ”

Guan Zhuofan's heart, Hu Qingqing is reasonable, and he has a sweetness in his heart. He tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "Sister, I don't know what kind of wife he will marry in the future?" ”

"He is only twenty-four, and he has already been sealed. I heard Xue Yan say that in the past hundred years of the Qing Dynasty, there has never been such a young marquis, and maybe he will be crowned a prince and a king in the future! - Mrs. Luo said, "It stands to reason that he will always marry someone who is right, but no matter which one he marries in the future, it will be in Beijing." I think he means that he is probably going to put you in Shanghai and make a 'big two' situation. ”

"Big at both ends?" Hu Qingqing asked in surprise. She and Mrs. Luo Si are both famous women in Shanghai, but one is just in her early twenties, and the other is already thirty years old...... ...... with you"

"Yes, just like me."

The so-called two big ends means that outside the city where the main room is located, another outer house is set up, and wives and concubines do not see each other. The one who is a concubine, except for not having the title of the main room, the others can be regarded as "exclusive jurisdiction over one place" compared to the main room. Mrs. Luo Si and Mrs. Hu, Hu Xueyan's wife, are roughly like this.

Hu Qingqing thought to herself, no wonder he asked me to wear a red dress, could it be that he really had such a mind? But think about it again, for more than a year, Guan Zhuofan has really become more and more powerful, if he really wants to be crowned a prince and a king in the future, three wives and four concubines are not a problem, the so-called "two big heads", can it really be a long game?

"Sister, take a step, look at a step," Hu Qingqing said shyly, "I don't want to be big, as long as he has me in his heart, that's it." ”

"He's naturally a man of affection! It's just ......" Mrs. Luo hesitated for a moment, but did not continue.

"Sister, what do you want to say?"

"Let me tell you, I see that this Marquis Guan of your family is actually a romantic man! In the past year in Shanghai, it is not easy to endure not to mess with flowers. Mrs. Luo said softly to Hu Qingqing, "When you get married, don't think about the person who controls him, the important thing is to win his heart." ”

"How can you call it to gather his heart?"

"A man is like a kite, when the east wind blows, it runs to the east, and when the west wind blows, it runs to the west, but no matter how you run, the thread is still in your hand! As long as you pull it when it's time to pull it, it will still come back to you obediently. But flying a kite, flying a kite, to put it mildly, there is still a word 'put', if you keep tightening it and don't let him run at all, then maybe the connection will be broken, and you don't know where it will fly. ”

This is a euphemistic reminder, but Hu Qingqing already knows this in her heart. In the year she has been with Guan Zhuofan, she is confident that she has figured out his character - she can't be said to be a gentleman with good conduct, but she is a very conscientious person. She is sure that she will be able to tie his heart to herself as Sister A said.

Despite this, he refused to say anything, but asked Mrs. Luo with a smile: "Then you manage your brother-in-law, do you do the same?" ”

"You're right," Mrs. Luo smiled, "how can a cat not steal?" As long as you knock on the basin when the meal is served, the cat will know to come back. ”

"Sister Ah was born so beautifully, my brother-in-law naturally wants to come back to 'eat'......" Hu Qingqing laughed quietly, "Unlike me, I look ugly, who knows if people will come back to eat." ”

"Ah, you little girl, dare to come and eat Sister's tofu!" Mrs. Luo is also a very charming person, she refuses to suffer this loss, rubs one hand on Hu Qingqing's snow-white thigh, and her words also bring out the taste of ridicule, "If I were ten years younger, I would be better to compare with you, now...... Tsk, just looking at your two legs, even I am tempted. ”

After saying this, the hand walked along the thigh like a demonstration, and kept touching it, Hu Qingqing couldn't eat, and shrunk into a ball of shame, but was hugged by Mrs. Luo and couldn't escape, biting her ear and asking: "Sister, you tell you the truth, have you already served him?" ”

"Where?" Hu Qingqing blushed and refused to admit it, "Sister, don't be foolish!" ”

"How can you be foolish, this is a serious matter." Mrs. Luo said seriously, "I am your sister, and the things in the cave room are naturally taught to you by me, otherwise you will be shy now, and you will suffer a loss when the time comes, don't come to me to cry!" ”

"I don't cry."

"Don't cry? Do you already know what to do? ”

"I ...... I don't know! ”

"If you don't know, let me tell you."

"I ...... I don't want to listen. ”

"Okay, okay, I know you're thin-skinned."

After saying this, Mrs. Law turned her head and blew out the candle, and the room was dark.

"Lie down like this...... The two legs are separated like this......
