Qiao's picked for a long time, but in the end he just chose a jade hairpin. Among all these things, the quality of this jade hairpin can only be regarded as average, and the value is not very high.

Dong Ce hurriedly said, "Mother, you might as well pick two more." ”

Qiao Shi waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, I'm an old woman, what do you want these things for?" You better keep these things for Red Sleeves! ”

She took the hand of the red sleeve, put it in her hand and rubbed it gently, and said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law, it's really distressing to be well-behaved, and I want to give her this good thing." Besides, she's young now, so it's just right to bring these things. I'm not right, old man. Dong Ce persuaded: "You are not old, you are young!" ”

He and Red Sleeves persuaded for a while, but Qiao's never refused to take more, and Dong Ce had no choice but to put away the rest of the things Red Sleeves.

"Okay, you two haven't seen each other for so many days, I'm afraid there are a lot of considerate things to say, the old woman doesn't need you to accompany me here, go, go!"

Dong Ce and Red Sleeves talked with Qiao Shi for a while, and Qiao Shi waved his hand to drive people away.

Dong Ce smiled and said, "Thank you, old man." ”

Then, Dong Ce and Red Sleeves went back to their own room, naturally without mentioning it.

The two haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and they both miss each other very much. However, they didn't do anything to do firewood, but hugged each other, lowered their voices, and said something considerate in their ears.

This is also a different kind of warmth.

After talking for a long time, Dong Ce stood up and said: "I have to change my clothes, and I will meet Shi Jin and them later, all the way is simple and simple, there is ash on the face and ash on the head, and the clothes are dirty, but you can't discuss matters like this." ”

"That's what the lord said."

Redsleeves smiled, stood up, and walked out.

Dong Ce was a little surprised: "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'll call the Liu family over and ask her to come and serve you, master, and get dressed."

Redsleeves laughed.

Dong Ce looked at him and said half-jokingly: "Why, you don't serve me, but let others serve me?" ”

The red sleeves trembled, his face showed a touch of desolation, and he said in a low voice: "Concubine, the concubine also wants to serve the master, but it's just ......"

"Just what?"

Dong Ce saw that her eyes were a little red, and he was in a hurry, so he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her into his arms, and said in a low voice: "If you have anything to say, don't cry!" ”

When he said this, Red Sleeves was even more like crying.

She quickly took a few deep breaths, and then she controlled her emotions and didn't cry, but the tears were already rolling in her eyes, as if they were about to fall down at any moment, and her voice became a little trembling.

"Husband, you should understand what I mean. I'm trying to get you to take in the Lius. "Why?"

Dong Ce wrinkled his brows and said, "Is it because of the heir?" Did your mother tell you again? “

Speaking of this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, Red Sleeves had been with him for a while, but the two had never had an heir, and Qiao's had a lot of opinions on this matter. In her opinion, the daughter-in-law of Red Sleeves is good in any way, but this alone is really unsatisfactory.

Moreover, in Qiao's view, the continuation of this heir is the biggest thing in a family, and Hongxiu has not heard of her pregnancy for a long time, let alone giving birth to an heir. Even if she is very good, this flaw alone is enough to cover all her goodness.

In fact, Qiao's is relatively enlightened, not to mention that in the Ming Dynasty at this time, even in later generations, because daughters-in-law cannot get pregnant and cannot have children, there are many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who have a very bad relationship. In this Ming Dynasty, this situation is even more severe. If so, if you change to a different mother-in-law, I'm afraid that Red Sleeves will be angry all day long.

Dong Ce understood Qiao's thoughts very well, but he understood and understood, but he didn't take this matter so seriously. In his opinion, just go with the flow. Besides, how long has he been with Redsleeves? It's too anxious, and wait and see, if you can't get pregnant in another two years, then you will talk about it.

But Qiao's family was in a hurry to hold her grandson, because of this matter, she had hinted at Dong Ce many times, and the general meaning was nothing more than to let Dong Ce take another concubine, so that Dong Ce would give birth to an heir first.

Hearing Dong Ce's question, Red Sleeves hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, husband, don't think about it, my mother didn't tell me about it during the time you left." ”

She looked at Dong Ce, her expression was a little solemn, and said: "Husband, I haven't read much other books except for medical skills, but I know one sentence: the major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong." The major events of a country are wars and sacrifices, while the major events of a family are to extend and grow, and the descendants will prosper and multiply, and the incense will be passed on for generations. ”

"Husband, your male family is not prosperous, only you and your uncle. Uncle has no heirs under his knees now, and you should also know that because of what happened in the past, my mother still has some mustard in my heart for my uncle and sister-in-law, and I don't like them. Therefore, my mother pinned all her hopes on our side, just hoping that you will have a future as soon as possible, and the Dong family will also have a future. Originally, my mother thought like this, told me like this, I still had some grievances in my heart, but now I have figured it out, I have been with you for more than a year, but this stomach has never been angry, so in these days, I also think, after you come back, hurry up and take Liu's family! ”

"Look at the Liu family, it looks like a good child, and she also gave birth to a son, after taking her in, I can't say that I can still give birth to Lin'er for the Dong family, and the Dong family will have a future."

Although he said this, his voice trembled, and tears fell from his eyes.

It's not that she's wronged, but she's worried about what will happen to her in the future.

You must know that if Dong Ce accepts the Liu family as a concubine, then the Liu family will also be a concubine, and she is just a concubine at this time. She knows very well that whether it is in Dong Ce's heart, in Qiao's heart, or in the status of the mansion, the Liu family is far from being able to compare with him, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Her stomach is not angry, and if the Liu family is pregnant and gives birth to a son, then her status in the mansion and in the hearts of Dong Ce and Qiao's family is afraid that she will immediately surpass her, and at that time, what should she do?

Dong Ce seemed to understand Tianfu's thoughts, he sighed, sat on the bed, and then pulled the red sleeves into his arms, let her sit on his lap, and said in a low voice: "The matter of the Naliu family as a concubine, I will talk about it later, I can't take care of this now." But I have a sentence that I'm going to make clear to you here right now. ”

He looked at Red Sleeves and said, "Red Sleeves, you are my first woman, no matter what, you have a very special status in my heart." No matter what happens in the future, I will never be sorry for you, even if I have a wife and other concubines in the future, you are still the only person in my heart in this back house. ”

These words made Red Sleeves feel rippling, and with a sigh, he fell into his arms, his arms tightly wrapped around her waist, as if he wanted to hold it all the time, and never get up again.

After a long while, Dong Ce patted her lightly and said with a smile: "If I don't let the Liu family change my clothes today, I will let you serve me." ”

He smiled, reached out and pinched the little nose of the red sleeve, and laughed, "How is it?" My little daughter-in-law. ”

Red Sleeves blushed and said disagreeingly: "You bully me again!" ”

Although he said this, he still helped Dong Ce change his clothes very quickly, and wiped Dong Ce's face and body with a hot towel.

The wind and dust all the way were simple, and his body was already very uncomfortable, he was wiped by a hot towel like this, and his whole body was very comfortable, and he changed into a refreshing cotton robe, wrapped in leather outside, Dong Ce sighed comfortably.

It's better to be at home!

The red sleeves covered his mouth and smiled, but did not speak.

A quarter of an hour later, Dong Ce came to the front hall of the mansion, and when he arrived, it was already full of people, Shi Jin and the others had already arrived.

Dong Ce turned out from behind the screen, sat down behind the table, and everyone knelt down in unison, and said in unison: "My subordinates knock to see your lord." ”

Dong Ce smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Get up, get up!" ”

Da Zuo'er stood up, and Dong Ce looked them up and down, observing their current appearance.

After looking at it for a while, he found that he was not here during this time, and it seemed that everyone's complexion had become better, and they had generally gained weight, and it seemed that they were having a really good time.
