Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

Chapter 120 Concubinage Becomes a Trend

Facing Xu Siyu, Mrs. Hong did not feel that the scars needed to be covered up.

She is old and love is no longer important to her, but Xu Siyu is still young and has a long way to go.

"So, I have to be careful about him going out for drinks and whores?" Xu Siyu certainly understood what Mrs. Hong meant, but to be honest, she didn't know how to keep a close eye on a man!

"You..." Mrs. Hong sighed deeply.

She is actually conflicted inside.

The couple is very sweet and those things have not happened yet. Isn't it a kind of destruction to worry too early?

Didn't her relationship with Hong Wenju also deteriorate after more than 20 years of love?

Why bother? It will make people unhappy sooner.

The two of them spoke in a roundabout way and talked a lot about personal matters.

Mrs. Hong told Xu Siyu that she was going to move out of the government office and live with her youngest son and his family in the house newly bought by Zhao Bo. It was very close to Cuihua Garden, so she could visit Xu Siyu often in the future.

"You're moving out of the government office? Does Lord Hong agree?"

"Never mind him. I've done enough for him in my life."

The atmosphere here should be a bit dull.

Mrs. Hong's mood was much more relaxed than when she first talked about Master Hong taking a concubine. "It's been over twenty years, and you still can't let me go home to visit my parents? Besides, Yun'er will help me look after the government office backyard. I'm in Changjia Mansion, so I can find someone if I need help."

"what do you mean?"

"Next month, Yun'er will be Aunt Yun. I'm the one I recommended to Master as a good concubine. Yun'er has a calm personality and is very good at managing the household."

Xu Siyu also didn't expect that Mrs. Hong, who was once willing to use all her wealth to save her husband, actually gave up after her husband was promoted.

Yes, Mrs. Hong is a cheerful person, decisive in love and hate. She has no feelings for her husband anymore, so it is difficult for her to be happy when they meet. It is better not to meet.

It is a man's bad nature to abandon his wife after having fun with her.

Xu Siyu felt that her relationship with Lord Hong should also fall apart.

There's nothing she can do. She just can't tolerate any sand in it. If it has nothing to do with her, it's fine. But if it has something to do with someone she cares about, then she won't tolerate it.

After returning from the government office, Xu Siyu asked Rui'er to prepare a complete gift list, and when Mrs. Hong moved back to the Zhao family, she would send a large gift in the name of Cuihua Garden to congratulate her.

Lin Yiqing was standing by and noticed that she looked at him with a strange look in her eyes. He had wanted to talk to her about his son's enlightenment, but now he felt it was dangerous and wanted to escape.

"Why, did you do something wrong?"

"No. I just remembered I had something to do in the front yard. I'll be back soon."

"Go to the front yard? Or go to Xiaoxiang Tower?"

As soon as he heard the name Xiaoxiang Tower, Lin Yiqing immediately became nervous.

"I went to have tea with my elder brother this afternoon..."

Good guy, Xu Siyu had only heard about Xiaoxiang Tower. That concubine Li was redeemed from that tower and given to Hong Wenju.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yiqing also went there.

"Tea tasting? Didn't you drink enough tea in the government office?"

"Before I went there, I didn't know what kind of teahouse it was..." I was really tricked by my elder brother. Lin Wangyou said that the Lin family was going to merge Fengji Cloth Shop and wanted to hear his opinion.

Seeing that Mrs. Hong had kept Xu Siyu, Lin Yiqing had nothing to do, so he followed his elder brother.

When he discovered that something was wrong with Xiaoxiang Tower, he quickly found an excuse to leave.

It took less than an hour for him to come back. He stayed in the study until Xu Siyu came back.

Who was the one who spoke too much to Xu Siyu?

"Are those girls pretty?"

"what?"

Xu Siyu raised her eyebrows, with a hint of ridicule, waiting for Lin Yiqing's answer.

"Honestly, you don't lose your temper?"

"Speak?" Xu Siyu said in a bad tone. Who allowed him to bargain on this issue?

"Pretty. But not as pretty as you."

Somehow, Xu Siyu was able to empathize with what Mrs. Hong said to her in the afternoon.

"Lin Zhao, you can change your mind, but don't lie to me. If you do, we can just divorce. If you lie to me, I might kill someone..."

"No. I didn't lie to you! Qingqing, I really didn't know what was going on. As soon as something went wrong, I came out."

"What's wrong?"

Now it was Lin Yiqing's turn to be in trouble. Could he say that the girl poured tea and the water spilled where it shouldn't have? Her hand touched...

I can't say it, I can't say it. If I say it, I'm afraid my innocence will be gone.

"Do you think I'm not innocent anymore and that I'm not worthy of you?" Xu Siyu stood up and asked the person next to her condescendingly.

Trapped in an emotional vortex, Xu Siyu went from taking her anger out on others to becoming entangled. All kinds of negative problems and emotions corroded her rationality. At this moment, she was unreasonable.

At this time, Lin Yiqing hugged her tightly, kissed her, and comforted her until she calmed down.

He was actually practicing what Xu Siyu had said to him: love is not something that can be expressed through words, but through actions...

After three breaths and three pauses, Lin Yiqing held the person in his arms and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Xu Siyu buried her head in his arms, moving it up and down, as if nodding.

"I won't go there anymore. Qingqing, I'm not a pushy person. I only care about you like that. You have to have more faith in me."

Xu Siyu continued to move her head, rubbing it right on his chest.

"Lord Hong's concubine was given by Mei Jiu Ming, and my eldest brother has a private room there...but they are them, and I am me." Honesty is the cornerstone of a husband-wife relationship.

"I believe you!" Xu Siyu choked out, and the sky finally cleared up after the storm.

Xu Siyu didn't understand why business players had to do things that hurt people's reputations and destroyed their families.

Oh, maybe this is another reason why her consciousness is different from that of people like Mei Jiu Ming.

Or perhaps, Mei Jiu Ming did not think that "creating something out of nothing" and "the beauty trap" and other strategies recorded in the art of war were immoral means.

Xiaoxiang Tower was a property of the Ming Dynasty imperial family, almost equivalent to the Jiaofangsi. The girls there included wives of officials from the southwest who had been given gifts in the past, as well as specially cultivated beauties.

The royal family's purpose was simple: to amass wealth for the Northern Expedition.

Therefore, after learning the whole story of Xiaoxiang Tower, no matter how much the women hated it, they could not touch it.

As for men, as long as they are willing to spend money like Mei Jiu Ming, they are welcome to come.

The Ming Dynasty royal family encouraged taking concubines. "Take some time to have a baby" was what Cheng'an Hou Pingxiang often said to Lin Yiqing and Xu Siyu when he saw them when he had nothing to do.

The three brothers also tried hard to set an example, and they had many wives and concubines in the Prince Ming's palace.

Xu Siyu couldn't stand it at all, but she had to admit that this was reality.

The country needs population, and the greatest value of women to society seems to be childbearing.

This reality had not completely changed when she traveled through time.

Both Lin's father and Lin Wangyou joined the army of taking concubines. During this sensitive period, only Lin Yiqing adhered to his male virtues, which gave Xu Siyu some comfort.

……

After the establishment of the Changjia Chamber of Commerce, Marquis Guang'an, on behalf of King Ming, submitted a letter to discuss trade matters with Li Chao.

The first time, the letter was rejected by Li Chao;

The second time, the letter of credence was withheld by Li Chao;

The third time, Li Chao replied: The Ming Kingdom is farming widely, and Li Chao needs food!
