Although Huo Qubing was born as a slave, he was older than Qiluo. But when he was a boy, he served as a close minister of the emperor and lived a high-society life. Moreover, his desire for family affection has always been strong.
No.
Originally, he told Mrs. Huo that there would be no delay in returning to court, but when Huo Zhongru came back, he casually said, "Let's stay for a meal." Huo Qubing nodded happily and agreed.
It was a rare occasion for the family to have a meal together, which was quite heartwarming.
You can see it.
Huo Qubing enjoyed this brief moment.
After tea and dinner, Huo Qubing patted his belly and felt very full. Maybe I was in a hurry and didn't relieve myself, but now I have physiological problems to solve after a big meal. So he turned to Huo Guang and asked, "Huo Guang, where is the toilet at home?"
"No, there!"
Huo Guang pointed the direction to Huo Qubing.
When Huo Qubing went to the toilet, Huo Guang turned his eyes to Huo Zhongru and said with a smile: "Dad, why do we have the same problem with your brother? He has to squat in the pit after eating!"
"Looking for a fight, you little bastard!" Huo Zhongru glared at Huo Guang angrily.
But at this time, Mrs. Huo did not give Huo Zhongru a chance to take action. Instead, she lightly kicked Huo Zhongru with her foot.
at the same time!
She also glanced at Huo Zhongru, but Huo Zhongru lowered his head and pretended not to see it.
See this.
Mrs. Huo used her foot strength to kick Huo Zhongru hard.
This made Huo Zhongru a little angry and asked: "Madam, what do you want to do?"
"What are you talking about? I want you to talk to Qu Bing and take our Guang'er to Chang'an. Otherwise, we will be like you, living in a remote place in the countryside with no future!" Mrs. Huo pinched her angrily as she said this. Huo Zhongru shook his arm.
This move was merciless, and Huo Zhongru grinned in pain on the spot.
But even so.
Huo Zhongru still put his wife away, and then said: "Madam, how can you ask me to speak? I didn't dare to recognize each other before Qu Bing was born, and I couldn't feel sorry for them. Now this child doesn't blame me. It’s God’s mercy, how dare I make such a request!”
"You're sorry, you're sorry? You're embarrassed to go to a woman's bed. Do you think our Guang'er will be as useless as you all his life, living in this small county of Pingyang?" Mrs. Huo looked at Huo Zhongru with an angry face. It's a hundred dissatisfactions.
He didn't even give Huo Zhongru a chance to defend himself. He pointed at him and cursed, "Okay, if you don't say yes, I will take Guang'er back to my parents' home tonight. You wait until I remarry!"
Is it possible to remarry in the Han Dynasty?
sure!
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the population dropped sharply due to the war against the Huns. Therefore, in order to promote the birth rate, officials do not interfere with women's remarriage.
even!
People are relatively tolerant of "sex". This can be seen from the large number of nude male and female statues and portraits of the Han Dynasty excavated in later archeology.
certainly.
This is not possible if Mrs. Huo has not been widowed or divorced. What she said now was obviously angry, mainly to provoke Huo Zhongru.
no way.
At this time, Huo Zhongru had no choice but to comfort his wife and said, "Madam..."
Mrs. Huo ignored him, turned her back to Huo Zhongru, and then covered her face and pretended to cry.
have no choice!
Huo Zhongru could only sigh: "I said, I'll go talk to the head office!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Huo burst into tears and smiled, saying: "Okay, you can't go back on what you said! You can tell him when he gets sick later."
"Hey, you have to give me some time to think about my words!" Huo Zhongru was very troubled now.
When Mrs. Huo saw that he had agreed and she no longer forced him, she said, "Okay, then think about it carefully!"
After a while.
Huo Qubing also came out of the toilet, holding toilet paper made by Huo Guang in his hand, and asked: "Hey, father, what is this? Why have I never seen it before!"
Hear the words.
The three of them all turned their attention to Huo Qubing.
Huo Guang said directly: "Brother, this is the toilet paper produced by me, which is also the toilet paper! Hey, you have no use for it?"
"Oh, use it, I can't find anything else in the toilet, only this." Huo Qubing said quickly.
Huo Guang thought that his brother grew up in Chang'an and lived a luxurious life. It would be best to be an experiencer of this toilet paper, so he asked: "Brother, how do you feel about using my toilet paper? How does it compare with Chang'an's toilet paper?" ?”
Huo Guang hasn't been to Chang'an yet, so he doesn't know what people in the capital use to wipe their butts.
actually.
In this era, everyone, including Huo Qubing, used toilet seats made of bamboo slices.
Only those in the palace with graceful status such as emperors and empresses would use silk and silk cloth as disposable toilet seats. Of course, some wealthy families also use silk and satin, but it is definitely not disposable.
Although Huo Qubing lived a good life because of his status as a relative, it was obvious that he could not enjoy the treatment of the emperor and empress.
use.
It can only be bamboo chips.
After hearing Huo Guang's question, Dang Ji said: "This thing is very good. There is no such thing even in the capital of Chang'an. Unless it is a toilet seat made of silk and fine silk, it can't be compared to this. Huo Guang, this thing is Did you do it? It seems that my brother is quite talented at losing the class!"
"Haha, brother, you are ridiculous. Before, our father said that I was a grotesque and cunning person, and asked me to learn more six arts, saying that is what a man should learn!" Huo Guang said.
Hear this.
Huo Qubing glanced at his father and immediately changed his mind and said, "Father is right. A good man should focus on the six arts. Things like toilet chips are really not on the table. It is no exaggeration to say that they are miraculous skills. !”
ha?
Brother Champion, how come you always change your words?
This made Huo Guang really confused.
Mrs. Huo on the side saw the opportunity and asked Huo Zhongru to come forward to talk, but Huo Zhongru looked a little embarrassed and did not speak immediately.
When Mrs. Huo saw this, she became a little anxious. She immediately stepped forward and said, regardless of Huo Zhongru's attitude, "Qu Bing, um, can I ask you a favor?"
"Huo Niang, please speak!" Huo Qubing said immediately.
Mrs. Huo then smiled and said: "Although we have only been together for a short time, we are all a family after all. We, Guang'er, are the same as you, with the blood of the Huo family flowing through us. We are your biological brothers. This cannot be changed. fact."
"Look, Guang'er can't stay in the countryside all his life, right?"
"Can you take Guang'er back to Chang'an this time? After all, he is also your brother. He can't stay here with us all his life and have no future!"
"This?" When Huo Qubing heard this, he immediately looked embarrassed and said, "Huo Niang, although I am a hussar general now, I don't have a residence in Chang'an. In the past, I lived at my uncle's house, or I go in and out of the palace to serve His Majesty. My brother follows me, I'm afraid it won't work."
These words.
It was clearly rejected.
After hearing this, Mrs. Huo's expression suddenly changed. She pushed Huo Zhongru and glared at him.
no way.
Whether it was for the future of his youngest son Huo Guang or his wife's wishes, Huo Zhongru could only bite the bullet and said: "Sick son, I am deeply ashamed that I could not be by your side as a father. But Guang'er is also your brother, you Let's see if we can..."
Huo Zhongru hasn't finished speaking yet.
Here Huo Qubing spoke.
"Father, there is no need to say more. Since it is what you mean, I understand. I will take Huo Guang back to Chang'an. Don't worry, as my elder brother, I will teach and take care of him well in the future!"
