At noon, the sun is blazing, and it's the hottest time of summer. If it was at this time in previous years, Ximen Qing was either running outside or practicing martial arts at home.

And now, she is soaking in a bucket of warm water sprinkled with flower petals, frowning and sighing.

Some things were a lot more troublesome than she had thought before! originally thought that being a concubine for Wu Haogu was a matter of mutual affection and the interests of the Ximen family, and it had nothing to do with others.

But now it is necessary to add Pan Qiaolian and the Pan family, as well as Fan Zhijin and Yanggu Fan's family.

In addition, the Great Song Dynasty also has to intervene! What does it have to do with the official family when people take concubines as concubines? Why are you not allowed to be a concubine? Isn't it okay to be lewd yourself? This emperor Lao Tzu cares too much, right?

Well, don't run kinky...... Sell yourself to Wu Dalang's head office, right? Why do you still have to participate, write turtle books, make contracts, and evaluate your worth?

In fact, Ximen Qing doesn't care how much it sells, and it doesn't matter if the Ximen family sells it...... The Simon family wants officials! As long as Wu Haogu can protect the first and second sons of the Ximen family as officials, Ximen Qing can sell them to Wu Haogu for a penny.

But to involve the tooth dwellers, you have to evaluate the ...... This makes Simon Woman's face a little unbearable!

Her status in the rivers and lakes is similar to that of Huang Rong and Huang Daxia in Jin Daxia's pen, can you imagine how much Huang Rong Huang Daxia estimated, and then make a contract, and sell it to Guo Jing and Guo Daxia as a concubine?

In addition, Ximen matchmaker also said it to Ximen Qing very clearly. "Buy and become a concubine" is impossible to correct after entering the official palace!

Even if Pan Qiaolian has three longs and two shorts in the future, she Ximenqing can only be a concubine! And Wu Haogu can also marry another wife to suppress her.

This is really a bit difficult for Simon Woman to accept.

"It would be nice if I could be a concubine, now the old man Chai and the old aunt and grandmother should almost go to Kaifeng Mansion, right? Da Lang should be willing to let me be a concubine......" Ximen Qing muttered, "I just don't know if Sister Pan is willing to do it?"

If she refuses, what will I do in the future? Da Lang, you must convince the eighteenth sister! ”

As he spoke, Ximen Qing touched his bulging belly...... The fetus inside is getting bigger and bigger day by day, if Wu Haogu doesn't come to take a concubine again, what can he do?

Thinking of this, tears also flashed in the eyes of Rao is heroine Ximen Qing......

……

When Ximen Qing was secretly wiping her tears in the bathtub alone. Wu Dalang had just soaked in a bucket of steaming bath water, and he was inhaling cool air with his teeth cracked.

This bath water was prepared by Luo Han and Maiden according to the instructions of Zhao Zhongge and Lin Wancheng, that is, to relieve the fatigue of Wu Haogu, who had practiced martial arts all morning, and it seemed that he had added some traditional Chinese medicine to the bath water. At this moment, Wu Haogu only felt that in his arms, shoulders, waist, abdomen, legs and other parts, thousands of ants had burrowed into the muscles and muscles to devour them. It was a painful feeling!

Wu Haogu endured the pain and asked loudly: "Is it ...... Is it hurting your muscles? How does it hurt? ”

"Dong Weng, don't worry, those four dolls of Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang have practiced much harder than you, and even the slaves have practiced more than you, aren't they all good?"

As she spoke, the Luo Han maid rolled up her sleeves, revealing her two white, thick and strong arms, "Let the slave come and give you a few clicks to relieve your fatigue." ”

I don't know if it's because the danger in Xijin Mansion again stimulated Wu Haogu's spirit, and when he took refuge on the side of Guangmingjun, he began to practice martial arts. After returning to Kaifeng Mansion, he asked Brother Zhao Zhongge and Lin Wancheng to formulate a set of training plans together, and practiced with Wu Tian, Wu Di, Wu Xuan, and Wu Huang every day.

But although Wu Haogu is an adult, when it comes to hardships and hard work, how can he compare with the four slave boys who were bought back by Zhao Zhongge? The four little slaves haven't complained yet, and Wu Haogu can't stand it first.

And the arhat maid who served Wu Haogu actually laughed out loud when she saw her master's useless appearance, so she would inevitably be punished.

However, Wu Haogu didn't whip her, but punished her to practice martial arts with him - you have to let this girl know that practicing martial arts is very hard!

But I didn't expect that Luohan and maid had also practiced, and after the excess amount of training was completed, she could still do housework and serve Wu Haogu...... There is no fatigue at all.

The body of this fisherman is really strong! So a girl who is a slave is probably more powerful than many forbidden troops in Kaifeng Mansion! What should a barbarian like Akuta become? It's a headache to think about!

"Hey...... You tap! ”

When Wu Haogu was pondering what a barbarian looked like, his sore and sore little shoulders were pinched a few times by a pair of jade hands that were particularly strong by a female barbarian, and he suddenly felt a convulsion and soreness.

"The slave is wrong, please punish the master." Luo Hanwen hurriedly apologized and confessed, and the strength in her hands was also reduced by seventy or eighty percent, and she didn't feel it at all.

"Alas, it's better to be Qing'er!" Wu Haogu sighed, and couldn't help but think of Sister Ximen, that is the good woman who knows cold and heat, and knows how to take care of herself!

I wonder how she's doing now? Have you ever washed your face with tears all day long because you miss yourself?

Thinking of Ximen Qing, Wu Haogu also had a little headache and embarrassment.

He has discussed with Mi Youren and Gao Niangzi a few times in the past two days, and he also knows all kinds of unreasonable regulations of the Great Song Dynasty on concubines.

Concubinage...... It turned out that there was still a main room, that is, Pan Qiaolian agreed!

And there is no "prostitution as a concubine", his and Ximenqing's behavior is a ** crime, and they will be arrested and imprisoned.

Of course, Wu Haogu has never heard of a dignified official from the Qipin Imperial Court who was imprisoned for seducing a woman.

Besides, the place where the crime occurred is not in the territory of the Great Song Kingdom...... I don't know if the official government of the Great Song Dynasty has jurisdiction?

However, even if Wu Haogu is not afraid of ** crimes, if he wants to take Ximen Qing into his hands, he still has to pass the level of Pan Qiaolian!

And Pan Qiaolian ...... Can you promise this? If she doesn't agree, what should she do?

That's a real worry!

When Wu Haogu was worried, the door of the cross-courtyard where he lived was pushed open with a creak, and Gao Yu walked in with a scroll and a green shirt.

"Da Lang, it's me, Gao Yu is here!"

After returning to Kaifeng Mansion, the relationship between Wu Haogu and Gao Yu suddenly became close again. Gao Yu moved the house again during the period when Wu Haogu was not in Kaifeng Mansion, moved from the north of the city to the west of the city, and bought a house worth more than 70,000 yuan, not far from Wu Haogu's current residence, so he often came to visit the door.

His arrival allowed the Luo Han maid to "be exempted" from punishment. Wu Haogu ended the bath early, changed his clothes and walked out, although his body had not yet recovered his strength, but his spirit had improved a lot. His body seemed to be a lot lighter and stronger.

It seems that the training plan formulated by Lin Wancheng and Zhao Zhongge is still somewhat useful.

The scroll brought by Gao Yu is a "Divine Horse Picture", which is Zhao Ji's autographed painting, which has a red horse that looks very divine and Zhao Ji's autographed inscription: Today, the Western Regions Tianma Chiyunhu sent a horse to his friend Wu Dalang to congratulate Gao Shengdong as the deputy envoy of the gate.

"This is ......" Wu Haogu looked at the red horse on the picture and asked Gao Yu, "Is King Duan going to give me a horse?" ”

"yes." Gao Yu smiled, "I heard from nowhere that King Duan heard that you have been collecting horses, a few days ago, the Xiping Wangfu sent a batch of horses into Beijing, and King Duan asked the official family for a tall horse." ”

The so-called "horse" means mare. Because the stallion (also known as the peony horse) is short-tempered, and it is not an equestrian master who can't control it at all, so the nobles in Kaifeng Mansion are either geldings or horses.

However, Wu Haogu did not collect good horses for his own ride, but wanted to establish a breeding ground for good horses, so he didn't want geldings, just tall and majestic peons and horses.

Speaking of this horse farm, Wu Haogu was worried about not knowing where to build it, but now he has a place to go, and this horse farm is built in Lighthouse City. Anyway, the planned area of Lighthouse City is huge, and it can't be used for the time being, just to raise horses.

"Okay," Wu Haogu looked at the extremely divine red horse on the picture and praised it, "This horse is too good...... I really don't know how to thank Duanwang. ”

Gao Yu smiled: "Da Lang, do you still need to thank you and King Duan?" You're a friend of King Duan's now! If there really is such a day, His Royal Highness King Duan becomes the Son of Heaven, you will be soaring. ”

"Feihuang Tengda doesn't want to," Wu Haogu put away the picture scroll and said with a wry smile: "I just want to be with my beloved ...... now."

"Beloved?" Gao Yu looked at Wu Haogu with a smile, "Is that Ximen lady?" ”

Wu Haogu nodded, "Does Big Brother Gao have a good plan?" ”

Gao Yu frowned, "I don't know how you want to solve it, Dalang?" ”

"I......" Wu Haogu sighed, "I always hope that Eighteen can accommodate her, if it really can't...... can only be wronged by her to be an outer room. ”

"The outer room is not right, is it?" Gao Yu shook his head, "There is no name in the outer room...... What a mistreatment for that Simon lady. ”

Gao Yu thought for a while, and said: "Da Lang, I always feel that this Ximen family is not simple!" It was through them that you met Ma Zhi...... Without Ma Zhi, you wouldn't be where you are today, and you can't cross the river and tear down the bridge!

Now what you can treat at a loss is the Pan family, and the Jiehe Business City will be of great benefit to the Pan family and Pan Shiyilang, and he will not turn his face at all now because you have taken a concubine. If he doesn't turn his face, what can the eighteenth sister do? And Simon's family ......"

Before he finished speaking, Jin Bei'er's voice suddenly came: "Uncle, uncle, there are people from Ximen Xiaoyi's family, just outside the gate." ”

What the? The people from Ximen Qing's family are here? Wu Haogu got nervous somehow when he heard the news, they didn't come to force marriage, right?
