Chapter 771: A Concubine Must Be Taken
During this period of time, Li Ziyun was responsible for taking care of Chu Xian's daily life, after all, she was Chu Xian's wife, that was the right thing, not to mention that Li Ziyun was a medical immortal in the world, and her medical skills and pharmacology were all refined, and the tonic decoction she made was a priceless treasure outside, even if Chu Xian drank it, she could feel refreshed.
As a normal husband and wife, the things discussed are nothing more than the shortcomings of the parents, but Chu Xian and Li Ziyun are a little different, either discussing medical Taoism, or telling some anecdotes about the officialdom of the current dynasty, and today, Li Ziyun is here to persuade Chu Xian to 'take a concubine'.
The wife persuaded her husband to take a concubine, which feels a little strange and incredible, but this is the truth, and Li Ziyun has persuaded her more than once during this time.
"Husband, Sister Ji Wen, she is thirty and nine, although she cultivates martial arts and eats Zhuyan Dan, but she is not an immortal after all, how many years do you have to delay others? And Concubine Luo, she is not young anymore, do you really plan to wait for everyone to be gray before you want to admit them to the door?" Li Ziyun said angrily.
Chu Xian smiled bitterly when he heard this, but what Li Ziyun said was also true, Ji Wen and Concubine Luo were indeed not young, and they were the daughters of ordinary people, and the children were in their teens, but for their own sake, they were still waiting hard and slowly boiling.
"This matter, firstly, I don't have time to think about it, and secondly, I am afraid that I will wronged them and you. Chu Xian told the truth, but when he said this, he always couldn't help but think of someone in his mind.
Bai Zijin, where is she now, and what is she doing?
Chu Xian felt that he was a little distracted at this time.
"What kind of grievances, you dragged it to wronged us, not to mention that over the years, Ji Wen and Concubine Luo have been like sisters, we eat and live together, we are already a family, you give them a name, this is the responsibility." Li Ziyun said with a straight face, and it could be seen that she was very serious.
To be honest, Chu Xian has also thought about this kind of thing, but he is too busy with official business, and he really can't spare time, and now Li Ziyun has proposed it several times, and Chu Xian understands that it is indeed not good to drag it out like this.
So nodded.
Li Ziyun smiled: "My husband is the third rank of the dynasty, the immortal official of the Shoufu Pavilion, and there are many affairs, so you can concentrate on official business, and the matter of taking concubines will be handed over to me." ”
After saying that, he turned around and went out.
Chu Xian is so cultivated, he can already hear Ji Wen and Concubine Luo, who are anxiously waiting for news outside, and after Li Ziyun went out, the three women were happy and cheered.
Chu Xian laughed at himself, and secretly said that he could not be so virtuous, and it was really a blessing for him to be favored by them like this.
Li Ziyun is extremely efficient, and she set a date, with the consent of Chu Huang, and set a banquet, and this series of things was all done in a few days.
In this way, Chu Xian was only informed by her that on the first day of the next month, on an auspicious day, the two concubines would come back together.
Chu Xian couldn't cry or laugh, but to be honest, there was a faint excitement and joy in his heart.
Li Ziyun is already a medical immortal, and it is difficult for the immortal body to get pregnant, this is the number of days, so in the past few years, Li Ziyun's stomach has not shown the slightest sign, Chu Xian is not in a hurry, but Chu Huang is in a hurry, anxious to hold his grandson.
But even if it is a medical immortal, it is difficult to solve the heavenly law that the immortal body is difficult to conceive, and Li Ziyun has boiled the medicine she has made for herself over the years, and she doesn't know how much she has drunk, and it has almost no effect.
This is simply not something that can be solved by medical Taoism.
Li Ziyun can only follow fate in the end, but this kind of thing is not good to wait all the time, after all, look at the other immortal officials at the level of the Shoufu Pavilion, they are all prosperous families, which one does not have a son and a half daughter? It is a grandson, and the great-grandson is also a lot, so there is no heir, and it is not good for Chu Xian's career.
Even Li Ziyun has heard that if Chu Xian wants to go further in his career, then he must have an heir, and she has also found Li Fuzi and discussed with others, and there is indeed this unspoken rule, so she will make up her mind to help Chu Xian take a concubine, as long as the Chu family has a queen, then Chu Xian's last deficiency in officialdom will be made up.
And whether it is Ji Wen or Concubine Luo, they are not immortals, there are two of them, at least they can have a son and a half daughter, anyway, Li Ziyun plans to do so.
Of course, the scale of this concubine and marrying the main room cannot be compared, and it cannot be the same, otherwise there is no distinction between priority and priority, which is a taboo.
Li Ziyun is also clear about this, but even if it is not handled by everyone, at least it can be regarded as scenery, banqueting relatives and friends, that is a must, but Chu Xian's status is much higher than when he married Li Ziyun, so it is impossible to be too low-key, just say that there will be many guests who are uninvited at that time, and these must be prepared in advance.
Of course, Chu Xian doesn't need to personally ask and handle these things, naturally there are people below to do it, now there are many people in the house, and there are also many subordinates and slaves, and Chu Xian has a gentle attitude towards both the witch clan and the demon clan, so he also rescued and bought some foreign slaves.
In the wealthy families of Jingzhou, almost all of them have some coolies of the demon clan and the witch clan, and they are generally miserable, but in the Chu Xian Mansion, they have received the greatest respect, although they are also subordinates, but at least no one discriminates against them.
At this time, a woman with a bewitching appearance, but she was extremely respectful to Chu Xian, walked in, half-kneeling on the ground, if you look carefully, this woman has an extremely white complexion, slender eyes, and that kind of fox posture, few men can control it, and this woman is obviously good at this, but in front of Chu Xian, she obviously does not dare to have the slightest disrespect, let alone cross the thunder pool.
"Master, she has a letter for the slave to pass on to you. The foxy woman opened her mouth and said, the capital in her mouth is naturally Ji Wen.
Speaking of which, since Li Ziyun handled Chu Xian's concubine matter, and the day of the official concubine was getting closer and closer, Ji Wen was embarrassed to come to see Chu Xian.
As for the fox woman in front of her, she is actually really a fox demon clan, similar to the fox girl, Ji Wen bought a lot, trained herself, and pulled all the masters in the house to be their teachers, teaching all kinds of martial arts and spells, it can be said that the combat power of every fox girl is more than the congenital level, a few, comparable to the grandmaster.
And they never fight head-on, they are only good at assassination and infiltration, seeking intelligence, and most importantly, they are loyal and will never betray.
After speaking, the fox girl handed a letter to Chu Xian.
Chu Xian opened it and frowned.
Ji Wen now controls half of the Dong Candle Division, has a lot of power, and knows a lot of officialdom insiders, but according to the rules, if she marries and becomes a wife, she has to resign.
Especially for the Cave Candle Division, this is even more so, otherwise the Cave Candle Division will have to be surnamed Chu in the future.
She and Chu Xian didn't get married before, so they could turn a blind eye to the above, and if they officially got married, then the position of the deputy capital of the Candle Division of this cave would definitely have to be relinquished.
So when she could still exert some power in the end, she checked a lot of officials who might be unfavorable to Chu Xian, at least she could be prepared.
And this investigation really found out some news.
It's just that it's not related to Chu Xian.
The first thing mentioned in the letter is that Shang Shu ordered Li Yuanming to resign and return to his hometown within a few months. There is no doubt that this news is definitely quite exciting, to be honest, even Chu Xian didn't pay attention to it, but if it was found out by Ji Wen, the credibility was still quite high.
It's just that Li Yuanming's Shangshu order is very good, in Chu Xian's opinion, it is no problem to continue to sit for another fifty years, or even a hundred years, why would he resign and return to his hometown?
And after thinking about it, Chu Xian thought of a possibility.
Three years ago, in the process of land change, a lot of troubles have arisen in various places, and some are likely to be instigated by someone behind them, just like the thirty-one questionable Chijin Army generals caught by Chu Xian, there must be a big black hand behind this matter, and the power is not small, otherwise this would not be possible at all.
Chu Xian guessed at that time that even if this matter was not instructed by Li Yuanming, it must be inseparable from it, and Chu Xian was really flawless to engage in any political struggle at that time, so he directly reported this matter to Taishi Xiao Yu, who would deal with it.
In retrospect, the speculation may have been true. Judging from the character of not rubbing sand in the eyes of Master Xiao Yu, in the past three years, the open and secret battles with Li Yuanming must be indispensable.
It is conceivable that even if Master Xiao Yu catches Li Yuanming's handle, according to Li Yuanming's status and influence today, he really can't take any means against high-ranking officials of this level, at most he will force the other party to resign, which can be regarded as a way to save face.
In fact, at the level of the Shoufu Pavilion, it is basically the same disposal method, if a big mistake is made, it will not be directly knocked down like a lower-level official, how to do it, at this level, it is necessary to take into account the face of the entire holy pilgrimage, which is generally an internal disposal, and externally it is a resignation and return to the hometown.
Chu Xian thought about it carefully, during this period of time, it seems that this is really the case, Li Yuanming rarely attends various meetings in the Shoufu Pavilion, and even if he comes, he has a gloomy face and does not speak, it is conceivable that even Chu Xian does not know the specific reason, and Ji Wen can find out, it is indeed quite amazing.
In the last sentence of the letter, Chu Xian was quite helpless.
Ji Wen's original words were that if Li Yuanming left, Shang Shuling's position would be vacant, and Chu Lang would be able to fight for it.
To be honest, seeing this sentence, Chu Xian's heart couldn't help jumping, you know, that is Shang Shuling, Zheng Erpin, he is now Zheng Sanpin, if he can seek this official position, the promotion of status, the promotion of official position, it is simply a jump.
There is no doubt that Shang Shuling is two levels higher in power than his current Hubu Zuo Shilang, so Chu Xian also calmed down at this time. /13_13476/
