Red Sleeves also picked up the wine glass and said with him with a smile: "My mother is healthy, and I can't see the wrinkles on my face, isn't it a sign of Shoubi Nanshan?" ”

She is the best at coaxing the old lady to be happy, Qiao Shi raised the wine glass with a smile and nodded his red sleeves: "Save your little mouth, the most can say, coax me to be dizzy all day long - this glass of wine, I drank it." ”

As he spoke, he raised his wine glass, a wine glass of one or two or five dollars, and drank it all. In these years, most of the old people in the countryside can drink, and some are even very drinkable. And there are no taboos such as high blood pressure here, but whenever there are some festivals, I will drink some.

Dong Ce and the two also drank it all up, and the red sleeves poured it on the three of them. She drank a glass of wine, and her face was a little more red, which added a bit of charm and loveliness.

The three of them ate and drank, and talked idly without a match. I don't talk about business, just gossip, some parents are short, and some Qiao's reminiscences of the past, and when I listen to it now, I also have a different taste in my heart.

The three of them are very interested, after all, this year, for the three people here, it is of great significance. Life is more or less at this turn.

Dong Ce was promoted, the red-sleeved Yunniang remarried, and Qiao's family also lived a good life.

Qiao Shi looked outside, smiled and said, "The two children are very good." ”

Red Sleeves also had a smile on his face: "Isn't it, these two people have been with me for a long time, and they have always been loyal." It's just that it's not good to do things, it's clumsy, and it's not very cool to serve people. When two rough girls are enough. ”

"Look at what you said." Qiao Shi glared at her: "People have worked hard for so many years, how can they only be rough girls?" Even if a new person comes in, they are also in charge. After a long time, it is easy to use, and I know that I am faithful to the Lord's house. They are loyal, and we can rest assured. ”

Red Sleeves is much stronger than Dong Ce now, and when he heard the old lady say this, he knew what she meant. He followed her and said, "That's what you said. ”

Then he turned back to Dong Ce and said: "Now the house is also bigger, and there are more people, and in the future, the husband and the monarch will become bigger and bigger, and there will be more human contacts. ”

Dong Ce felt that it was not necessary, but since his mother had brought it up and Red Sleeves had said so, he naturally would not refute it, so he waved his hand and smiled: "You look at it, I am outside, you are inside, you and your mother will be in this inner house." ”

Red sleeves and chin headed: "Then after the fifteenth year of the year, the slave will go to the lonely shop and the surrounding towns to go around." The situation has not been good these years, and I can't survive, and there are many grass labels that sell themselves, and they are cheap, and some don't have to spend money, as long as they are willing to take care of the food, they will follow. This is an act of kindness, better than them starving to death on the streets. ”

Dong Ce nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, don't be in a hurry to buy it, do you remember those women who settled around Anxiangdun?" ”

"Naturally, I remember." Red Sleeves said: "What do you mean?" With them? ”

Dong Ce nodded: "They are all poor people, robbed by bandits, I am afraid that my reputation will be ruined in this life, and I will suffer if I return home, so I will stay." Even the clumsy ones can do some heavy work, and it's a way to live. ”

The women who were kidnapped by the bandits of Liuling Mountain were basically rescued by Dong Ce, and there were more than a dozen of them. At the beginning, Dong Ce was afraid that he would let them go and leak the news, so he built some houses around Anxiangdun, settled them in them, and let the surrounding tenants keep an eye on them. Now that the rumors have gradually passed, it is okay to let them go. It's just that Dong Ce is a little worried - if you are kidnapped by thieves these years, even if you are not humiliated, your reputation is completely ruined, and you are innocent when you say it, and no one will believe it. Even family members are no exception. At that time, everything around them will be contempt, malice and contempt, and they will live in a state of extreme pain for the rest of their lives. I'm afraid that there are not many people who can withstand this kind of pressure, and after a long time, they will either commit suicide or become crazy.

Are there fewer people who jump into the well and the river because of this gossip?

"Yes." Redsleeves smiled and agreed, but he made up his mind to buy a few. Most of the women rescued from the bandits were women from the surrounding villages, and they were not far from here, and if they wanted to run, they might run away one day. And they are all terrible women, although they know that they may not have a good life after returning home, but it is difficult to say that they will not secretly run back because they miss their families or children. If this is the case, not only will your own family lose face, but the affairs of the house will be publicized, which is very ugly.

To put it bluntly, those women are unreliable.

And if it is bought, it will be completely different, first, people are willing to sell themselves, which is willing, and will not give birth to so many incidents. Besides, when the time comes, once the contract of life and death is signed, if you are really caught and dare to escape without permission, you will be killed, and the government will not pursue it. The second is that they have endured hardships, and they have endured enough hardships, so they will cherish some of them especially in this good life. These people, the heart can be settled.

Dong Ce doesn't understand these things, but Red Sleeves understands. However, she naturally wouldn't refute Dong Ce's face, but she didn't say it in her heart.

Talking and talking, Qiao Shi talked about the past days, Dong Ce's father died in battle, the eldest brother was not good, and he himself was not angry, which was the most difficult. The Dong family was also blinded by people in Lingyidu, and everywhere they went, they were ridiculed by people poking their backs. Thinking about these days again, it's really embarrassing.

Qiao Shi said, it was tears, and Red Sleeves hurriedly comforted him. Dong Ce was also a little emotional, he drank a glass of wine with his head bored, and said with a smile: "Mother, look away, our family will only be prosperous and rich in the future, and it will never be like in the past......"

"You two children, your mouths are so sweet. Actually, compared to your sentence of longevity and eternal health, I would rather have a full house of children and grandchildren! Qiao Shi held the hand of the red sleeve, patted the back of her hand gently, and shed tears as she spoke: "I am sixty years old this year, and people say that it is rare to be over seventy years old, and it is not many to live to the year of the sixtieth year!" At this age, I am content. It's just a pity in this life, that is, I didn't hold my grandson. ”

"The boss's daughter-in-law is not angry, and she has not moved for many years, and I don't expect it over there. Now it's the two of you who are looking forward to it. ”

Qiao Shi clenched the red sleeves' hand tighter: "The second child is also an official now, and he knows that he is busy with official business all day long, and you have to help him manage the affairs of the back house." When you buy more women in the coming year, you will also look at the old man and watch for him, if you look at the virtuous and docile and can live a good life, you will take it for him. ”

After hearing the old lady say this, Red Sleeves suddenly turned pale, and couldn't help but look back at Dong Ce.

Dong Ce was also stunned, but he didn't expect that during the Chinese New Year, his mother would say this in front of the two of them.

The meaning of these words is clear: Since there is no movement in your belly, then let my son take a concubine, not only a concubine, but also you must personally take a concubine for him and take care of him.

"It's a bit excessive, isn't it?"

Dong Ce's brows furrowed, he felt that the old lady was a bit of a bully to the red sleeves.

Now he doesn't have the intention of taking a concubine, and he also feels that it is not easy for Red Sleeves to follow, and if he takes a concubine now, he will be very sorry for her. After all, Red Sleeves was the first woman to follow her, and because of her birth and remarried status, she couldn't give someone a wife, just a concubine, and she was already very unhappy in her heart.

He coughed and was about to speak, but Qiao Shi glared at him fiercely, it was Red Sleeves, who also looked at him, and shook his head slightly.

Dong Ce had no choice but to touch his nose, stopped talking, and chewed a sweet and sour fish with chopsticks in his mouth.

Qiao's eyes stared at the red sleeves without blinking, her face was stiff, and the nasolabial folds on her face that were usually invisible appeared all appeared, looking extremely cold. Obviously, this is to make Red Sleeves immediately make a statement on the spot.

The old lady is actually quite scheming, and on such occasions, saying it in front of Dong Ce is exactly what she does not allow for any refutation or reluctance.

That's right, she likes Red Sleeves very much and spoils her. But this doesn't mean that she can tolerate the two of them these days, and there is no movement in the red sleeves' stomach.

In the eyes of the elderly, it is the most important thing to have a successor and a full house of children and grandchildren. Extending the heirs and inheriting the incense is the biggest thing in life, and there is no one. As the so-called unfilial piety has three nos, it is also respected in later generations, and in this era, it is infinitely expanded. The Dink clan of later generations is afraid that they will be scolded to death by poking their backbones in this era.

However, this half a year is not a very long time, and it is reasonable to have no heirs, and the same is true for many families. So the old lady didn't do anything more excessive, but just asked Dong Ce to take a concubine. After all, the old man has been looking forward to his grandson for many years, and he is really anxious.

Fang Cai's words, Dong Ce felt that it was bullying, but in fact, he didn't understand the deep meaning.

In the next life, if you look for a mistress, and ask your wife to find a mistress for you, it is really a bully to go to grandma's house, and you don't do this. This is to tear off people's face, tear it to pieces, step on it a few times, and leave no mercy at all. But in this day and age, there is a completely different understanding.

This was based on the legal system of polygamy in this era. In fact, this can be regarded as the old lady's love for the red sleeves. After all, letting her hold this power is actually a recognition of her right to manage the back house - who to accept as a concubine is up to you, not someone else. What is not said in these words is that you are still the owner of this back house, and those women, even if they become concubines and have sons, your status is not something they can shake.
