Chapter 169 Concubinage
Just like that, without the old man saying anything, Mr. Lu Guogong took Miss Lu San back.
After Mr. Lu Guogong left, the old man and Chu Xuanyu rejoiced, "Fortunately, this incident happened in your study. Let us take care of the Lu family first. Otherwise, if we were in any other place, we would also be taken care of by the Lu family." Handle.”
A thirty-year-old son with a wife and children harmed a thirteen-year-old girl. No matter how you say this, it is Chu Haoyu's fault.
If this incident had not happened in the study, Duke Lu would have exaggerated the matter, saying that Chu Haoyu was drunk and insulting Miss Lu San, and then secretly instigated the censor to impeach Duke An Guo.
At that time, An Guo Gongfu will become the target of public criticism overnight.
Fortunately, fortunately.
A few days later, the Lu family reported that Miss Lu San was critically ill.
Xia Zihan was shocked when he heard the news.
She murmured to Chu Cong, "It seems that the Lu family would rather Miss Lu San die than let her become Chu Haoyu's concubine."
"Master, what are you doing to sympathize with her? Even if she dies, she deserves it." Chu Cong said with disdain, "If she hadn't moved Duke Chu's crooked thoughts, Prince Chu would have taken advantage of his scheme to protect his father. Is she planning on Chu Haoyu? ”
That's right.
The blisters on my feet are all caused by myself.
Miss Lu San is where she is today, all because of her own self-inflicted fault, and no one else is to blame.
And she just informed Chu Jingqi after discovering Miss Lu San's conspiracy.
Even she didn't expect that Chu Jingqi would take advantage of his scheme and lead Chu Haoyu to the study room, and then take Chu Xuanyu and a group of idiots there.
Chu Jingqi's move can be described as insidious, cunning and cunning.
A few days later, the news came to the Lu family that Miss Lu San had died of illness. Xia Zihan silently lit a wax for Miss Lu San.
……
The weather was getting colder and colder. Xia Zihan wore a thick cotton jacket and thick cotton pants on her legs. She was so heavy that she didn't want to go anywhere, so she stayed in Old Man Bai's bed. Learn medicine from him in the grinding room.
Bai Yuexi and Old Man Bai both liked her and devoted all their efforts to teaching her. She also learned quickly, especially her ability in identifying herbal medicines.
As long as it was an herb she had seen once in a book, the next time she saw it fresh, she could name it right away.
It wasn't until the end of October that Chu Pang reminded her of her date with the girl from the Dou family, and Xia Zihan hurriedly ordered the maids to prepare things for the trip.
On this day, Chu Jingqi came to pick her up in advance and brought her news that shocked her.
"Ayu, Miss Lu San is not dead." As soon as he entered the house, he dropped a bomb, "Two days ago, I entered Chu Haoyu's inner courtyard as a cousin of Duke Lu's mansion."
Just yesterday, Miss Lu San, as the cousin of the Lu family, was carried by Chu Haoyu in a four-person sedan from the back door of the Lu family to the west courtyard. She became Chu Haoyu's first aunt and a noble concubine.
On the day he married his concubine, Chu Haoyu felt happy.
You know, Miss Lu San is one of the most beautiful girls of this generation. He has heard a lot about her from Chu Jingxiu before.
Talented, beautiful, and wise, she is the best among this generation of young girls in the capital. But now, this most beautiful and dazzling flower has been picked by him, just waiting for her to bloom. After the flowers bloom, , he can enjoy the meal happily.
He had not enjoyed this kind of delicious food for many years. Thinking about how others had concubines, aunts, and beautiful maids, he was the only one with Yu.
No matter how beautiful Yu is, he still only has one daylily, and it is still a daylily with thorns. And he has only eaten one daylily for so many years, and there is not even any pickles in it, let alone delicious appetizers. Even if he is no longer I like to eat, but I will get bored if I eat too much.
He had long wanted to buy some beautiful maids to serve as bed warmers, but after thinking about it, he didn't dare.
Mrs. Yu is from Prince Yu's Palace and has a strong backing. In addition, she is a jealous woman who can't tolerate any other woman. Even if he buys a beautiful maid, she will probably kill her in less than a day. Or sell.
Therefore, even if Chu Haoyu has a playboy's heart, he, a paper tiger, does not dare to make any move under the eyes of Yu, a tigress.
That day, he was drunk and was told by a maid that someone had seen him in Chu Xuanyu's study.
He went there with swaying steps, but saw a beautiful and delicate little beauty. He couldn't help but hugged the little beauty when she was about to run away.
The heart that doesn't care about anything but steals her first and eats her first is ready to move and can no longer be suppressed.
Unexpectedly, an impulse actually married him a little beauty, and she was a little beauty that Yu didn't dare to offend.
Quack...
Chu Haoyu Mei's heart almost trembled.
At this time, how could he care about Yu's wounded heart? He was a typical Bo Yukio who had a new person and forgot about the old one.
Chu Chu Haoyu took a concubine, and she hadn't said hello to Mrs. Yu yet. She didn't know until the sedan chair came in. Of course she wouldn't agree, but she couldn't stand that this person was sent by Concubine Lu, and Mrs. Yu didn't know what to do. No matter how arrogant he was, he would not dare to kill Lu Guifei's people.
The beauties sent by Concubine Lu are not as good as those sent by Mrs. Chu. She has to be begged for a few times before she can pass the test. Moreover, the woman who was said to be the cousin of the Lu family was obviously Miss Lu San who died a few days ago.
Miss Lu San came to the West Courtyard to look for Chu Jingxiu. She had seen him before and would never mistake him for him.
Mrs. Yu immediately went to find Chu Haoyu and asked him what happened.
Chu Haoyu couldn't stand Yu's pestering, so he got drunk and told the story about Miss Lu San who was almost raped.
Yu was ready to bite him to death.
In the past two days, the West Courtyard has been very noisy and restless.
Mrs. Yu is a gentle and elegant person on the outside, but on the inside she is extremely stingy, mean and aggressive.
Miss Lu San was even more like a white lotus. Before Yu could say anything to her, she burst into tears, and she cried so hard that she seemed to have been greatly wronged.
When Mrs. Yu saw her, she called her a fox.
Chu Haoyu felt heartbroken when he saw the little beauty crying with pear blossoms in the rain. He didn't care that Mrs. Yu had the support of Prince Yu's Palace, so he hugged the little beauty and went away to live a happy life. He buried Mrs. Yu in cold He got up and ignored her again.
Mrs. Yu could no longer maintain the image of a virtuous wife and a gentle and generous daughter-in-law, so she burst into tears and made a fuss.
But, who cares about her?
Mrs. Yu went to complain to Mrs. Chu, but after Mrs. Chu went to scold Chu Haoyu, Chu Haoyu simply took the little beauty to live in another house that the old lady gave him when the family was separated, and they truly lived in a world of two. happy life.
Mrs. Yu was sick from anger, and Mrs. Chu also looked helpless and helpless.
She can't have a rift with her own son because of her daughter-in-law.
After all, a daughter-in-law belongs to someone else's family, but a son belongs to one's own family. As a mother, of course, she cares for her son.
Moreover, over the years, Mrs. Chu also felt sorry for her son when she saw that Mrs. Yu was pulling out the women around her son one by one, just like pulling out nails, so that she was the only one around her son and did not dare to marry any more concubines.
It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Who can hold one woman in his arms for the rest of his life? That Yu family is too overbearing. She has to put on a gentle and generous face. She wants both fame and jealousy.
So, Chu Jingqi was at home these two days, but he watched a good show. As soon as he saw Xia Zihan, he excitedly told her about it.
"Miss Lu San made some calculations and ended up becoming Chu Haoyu's concubine." After hearing this, Xia Zihan sighed, "However, although Chu Haoyu is a bit younger than his uncle, he is still handsome, so it is not a loss. Miss Lu San.”
Chu Jingqi burst into laughter.
The two of them got into a carriage and went to the city gate to wait for the Dou girl.
After a while, the Dou family's carriage arrived. Because of the cold weather, the two people in the carriage did not get out of the car to say hello. They left the city together and went straight to the hot spring village.
At this time, there was no work to be done inside and outside the hot spring village. The farmers, led by the head of the farm, all gathered in a large grain storehouse and gathered around the hot kang in the middle to unload the grain.
There is corn, sorghum, wheat, and rice.
In those days, stone mills were used to remove rice, and corn was removed manually. In short, it was also a labor-intensive job.
Fortunately, the work is easy and can be done indoors.
If you take out all the grain, you can sell it at a good price when the grain is almost gone in the market next summer. The price is nearly half higher than if you just sell grain with chaff.
The head of the farm was a shrewd man who calculated carefully. It was winter and the farmers had no work to do. They were idle anyway, so he found some work for them.
In this way, the grain can be sold for 30% more, and farmers can also earn more money to feed their families, killing two birds with one stone.
Therefore, the farmers in Xia Zihan's village are different from those in others' villages. The farmers in other villages sell the grain in the shell as soon as it comes out, which saves trouble, worry and effort.
But Gianzhuangtou is different, it is sold out of shell.
In other words, other farmers are idle in the village, doing odd jobs at most, clearing snow, feeding animals, etc., but her farmers are very busy now and have no time at all.
When he received the news that Lord Chuyu had arrived, the head of the farm was sitting on the kang, picking corn, chatting with a large group of farmers, laughing like thunder.
The boy guarding the door ran over and said, "Oh my God, my God." This scared a large group of peasant men to the point where they almost fell down.
"Quick, put down what you are doing and go to the gate to greet the little boss."
The head of the farm yelled, and everyone came back to their senses. They didn't care about the dirt on their bodies, faces, and hands, and ran away.
Xia Zihan got off the carriage and when she first entered Zhuangzi, she saw a large group of honest and embarrassed farmers who were laughing.
