Hou Mansion·Study.
Luo Xingduan sat on the armchair, staring at the plum blossoms in the porcelain vase on the desk. He chose fresh flowers. The stamens were just blooming, and there was a faint fragrance of plum blossoms in the whole study.
Qingyi put on a comfortable underskirt. She wanted to please her appearance. She rarely wore skirts in the past. Her clothes were basically neutral and mostly dark in color. She looked heroic.
Now she has softened and looked more and more like a normal woman.
This is the power of love. Of course, it also requires the nourishment of Luo Xing. This "Mandarin Duck Transformation" is really powerful and can change a person's temperament from the inside out.
"Husband, please try the jujube tea."
"Is it prepared by Aunt Xue?" Luo Xing took a sip and immediately tasted whose handiwork it was.
"Well, Aunt Xue said that you have worked hard recently and you must make up for it. You can't lose your health when you are young. It will be too late to make up for it later," Qingyi said.
Luo Xing looked strange: "Is this what she told you?"
"Yes, Aunt Xue said it herself."
"Did you see my master today?"
"I met him briefly in the morning and he didn't look too good, but he said he was fine. What's wrong?" Qingyi recalled.
"My eight junior ladies must have squeezed them too hard..." Luo Xing smiled bitterly. After learning from him how to increase the chance of pregnancy, these eight junior ladies calculated the date accurately and took turns to fight. Now let's see Who wins the bid first?
Only Aunt Xue, she was sitting back and watching the storm unfold. She had already given birth to her daughter Xue Shangxiang, whether she would give birth to her or not, there was no telling.
Therefore, Xue Qingqing's place has become Master Mengyi's current safe haven.
Qingyi immediately understood what Luo Xing said, her cheeks turned red, and she spat: "Uncle Meng has been idle for so many years. Now I know the reason. If I don't work hard, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future."
"It's time to work hard..." Luo Xing chuckled. The newlyweds are still in the honeymoon period. Who wouldn't want to?
"Senior brother, are you there?"
Qingyi held down Luo Xing's "Lushan Claw", jumped down, smiled, and floated away. Xue Shangxiang came just in time.
"Senior brother, did I bother you so late?" Xue Shangxiang asked with her cheeks flushed and her eyes flickering at Luo Xing.
"No, Junior Sister Shangxiang, what do you want?"
"Brother, I'm always not sure about the specific location of this acupuncture point. Can you give me some guidance..."
"Which acupuncture point?" Facing the jade-like face, Luo Xing asked seriously.
"Qimen, Lingxu and Shenzang..."
Luo Xing frowned when he heard this. These acupuncture points were no problem for men, but for a woman, they were in some sensitive places. He could teach them, but he couldn't teach them step by step.
"Senior brother, I see that the acupuncture point map you gave me is very clear, but if it is a woman, it is difficult to grasp. Senior brother, why don't you give me some guidance in person and let me feel it?" Xue Shangxiang's cheeks were as red as blood.
"Junior sister, although doctors don't care about men and women, you are still a young woman waiting to get married, and your senior brother is a married woman. Isn't that bad?" Luo Xing admitted that this junior sister is indeed beautiful, and her talent and wisdom are not among those of many talented people. Next, but that was the master's daughter, his junior sister. He asked himself that he was still a gentleman, and the rabbit didn't eat the grass beside the nest.
There was no way he could do such an animal thing.
"Senior brother, don't you dislike Shang Xiang?"
"Born with a charming body and a charming body, Luo Xiaoqi, you are blessed. If this woman practices dual cultivation with you, not only will it be wonderful, but she will also help you break through to the extraordinary!" Hei Zhongling's "hee hee" sounded in Luo Xing's eyes. said in his mind.
"Shut up!"
"You don't know the benefits of her physique. Fortunately, she hasn't grown yet, and probably no one will recognize her. After two years, her body has grown. Even if she doesn't practice Charming, this woman will be upside down. Beauty is such a disaster to all living beings!" Hei Zhongling said.
"She is my junior sister, how can I have any undue thoughts about her?"
"You don't have to have any thoughts about her, but people can't help but have thoughts about you. Besides, not many men in the world can control a woman with this kind of physique. If she can't be satisfied, you know, she can be Su Daji, Baosi, become the enchantress who charms the world." Hei Zhongling said.
"Is it as serious as you said? The key lies in the person. I am a junior sister with a pure heart and gentle treatment of others. How could she become the kind of person you said?" Luo Xing didn't believe Hei Zhongling's nonsense and wanted to become The key to who you are depends on the person. Your physique and bones are only your starting point, but they cannot completely determine a person's destiny. People who are willing to degenerate can never become upright people. On the contrary, many people emerge from the mud and remain untainted. , although his qualifications are dull, he can achieve great achievements.
"People change. Unless you hide her all her life and prevent her from seeing outsiders, once the secret of her body is discovered, sooner or later she will be coveted and become the target of everyone's competition!" Hei Zhongling said.
"It's not as evil as you said. It's just beauty. There are more and more important things in this world than beauty."
"For you, beauty may not be that important, but for many people, beauty is the original driving force. For men, the pursuit of these three desires of wealth, sex and power is endless. What’s more, it can also bring huge benefits?”
"Okay, I won't do that."
"A man who is duplicitous and sanctimonious!" Hei Zhongling said sarcastically without mercy.
"Junior sister Shangxiang, how can senior brother dislike you? It's just that there are differences between men and women. You are not senior brother's patient. This..."
"Didn't Senior Brother touch Shang Xiang when he was seriously ill?"
Luo Xing was asked. Indeed, he had touched Xue Shangxiang when he was treating him, but at that time, he was focused on saving people and had no special thoughts.
But now, facing a healthy, young and beautiful girl, it is really impossible for him to be calm. In that case, he would become a Buddha immediately.
"I taught Aunt Xue the acupuncture points you mentioned. You can just ask Aunt Xue for advice tomorrow."
"My mother wasn't taught by you, senior brother, so why should I sacrifice the near and seek the far away? Senior brother, you still dislike me." Xue Shangxiang made a sad and aggrieved voice.
"I don't dislike you, can you please stop blaming me on my senior brother?" Luo Xing said angrily, why are girls nowadays so unreserved?
Just now he was telling Hei Zhongling that Xue Shangxiang was a pure girl.
"Senior brother, teach me!" Xue Shangxiang came closer and said.
Luo Xing's eyelids were twitching. Could it be that this was how Xue Qingqing defeated Master Meng in the first place? It shouldn't have happened. Master shouldn't be so tasteless.
"Senior brother, teach me..." Ji Yu'er also said something in her mind, almost sending Luo Xinghun'er out of her body.
Hey, just teach.
If anything happens, we’ll talk about it later. Besides, it’s not a bad thing.
"Okay, senior brother, why don't you teach me?"
…
After finally sending Xue Shangxiang away and calming down, the rest of the night was gone. If she stayed in the study again, Qingyi would probably have to think more.
Go back to your room quickly.
This is a newlywed, so you still have to fulfill your responsibilities.
After finally calming down, Qingyi's black hair was spread on Luo Xing's chest, and the corners of her eyes were full of satisfaction: "Is Shang Xiang looking for you?"
"Well, it's late at night and she insists on letting me teach her how to identify acupuncture points. Do you think she is sincere?"
"I think Aunt Xue seems to be interested in bringing Shang Xiang and you together."
"Don't talk nonsense. That's my junior sister Shang Xiang. Aunt Xue is just such a precious daughter. I'm already married. Why should you marry your daughter to me as a child?" Luo Xing said.
"Just tell me, are you willing to do this?"
"Qingyi, aren't you afraid that I have a new person and I don't like your old person?" Luo Xing was surprised, why is Qingyi not jealous at all? Although women in this world are accustomed to men having three wives and four concubines, But he is not generous enough to freely share his husband with other women.
"I am the wife that your matchmaker is marrying. Unless I die, no one can change this lady's position!" Qingyi said.
This world is still different from the ancient system in the world where I came from. The wife that Ming Media is marrying cannot be divorced. There is no such thing as the seven-out rule in this world.
Especially for those with aristocratic status, once you marry, you are bound. If you divorce your wife, your life will be over.
Therefore, wives are not so easy to marry. Once married, husband and wife become one flesh, sharing weal and woe, regardless of each other.
But the status of concubines is different.
A concubine can be divorced, but it cannot be divorced at will. Once a concubine has children, she can gain a certain status. Even if there are satisfactory reasons for divorce, it is not easy to divorce a concubine, and divorce is tantamount to When the family is divided, the property should be given to the concubine and her children.
This rule is a blind spot in Luo Xing's knowledge.
A wife has the responsibility to expand the family, and not everyone is qualified to take a concubine. Ordinary people can marry a wife and take a concubine.
This is the official recognition of identity. Otherwise, no matter how many women you have, they will only be concubines and mistresses without identity.
Officials could take concubines, and the number could be about two to three.
For those with titles, there are more. Counts are similar to ordinary officials, with no more than three people at most, marquises can have five people, and dukes can have up to nine people.
The prince and the prince have one main concubine and two side concubines, and then there are concubines, with a maximum of nine people.
As for the emperor, he did not have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. Since records began, the total number of concubines owned by emperors in all dynasties was only a hundred.
There were no more than thirty people alive at the same time.
In other words, after death, you can collect it again, and the final sum will be this number.
The current Emperor Yongxi, including those who died of illness, has less than twenty concubines in total, and only sixteen are still living in the palace. The eldest is Empress Cai, and the youngest is almost thirty years old.
In terms of demand for women, Emperor Yongxi could only be considered average, which was far behind Emperor Taizu who founded the Great Zhou Dynasty.
According to the rules, Luo Xing, a second-class prince, could have five concubines.
In addition, nobles above the marquis level can have a wife, but this requires the court to confer a title, and it is invalid if you provide for your own son.
After many women get married, they will find ways to fill the concubine's position and become their own, or most of them will become their own.
In this way, you can easily control your husband and the power in the house.
Ordinary people don't think about it, but only in noble families, such things happen. Qingyi is inevitably bound to this custom sometimes.
It's just that she doesn't know how to mess with things.
"How can you think about all these things with your little head? Who taught you this?" After Luo Xing heard this, he really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Sister-in-law Yu Niang told me this. This is what her mother-in-law and my junior wife taught her when she married into the Hou Mansion..." Qingyi murmured.
"Qingyi, you have to have your own pursuits. Even if you marry me now, you don't have to wrong yourself and think about me. In fact, I prefer you to be independent and pursue what you want. You are mine, Luo Xing My wife is not my vassal, but my lifelong lover, do you understand?"
"Xiao Qi, do you really think so?"
"Of course, I am the kind of superficial man. After getting married, do I want to confine my wife to a small space at home?"
"Then I still want..." Qingyi's cheeks turned red and she bit her teeth lightly.
"no!"
"I've calculated the time..."
"real?"
Reproduction is a major event related to the fate of mankind. For this, everything else must be temporarily put aside.
…
In Xue Shangxiang's boudoir in the yard next door, mother and daughter Xue Qingqing and Xue Shangxiang slept hugging each other, whispering, and they were talking about Luo Xing.
"Luo Xing is a genius. I don't know where his medical skills come from. He must have many unknown secrets. Girl, you have to grasp it. If you can grasp it, my mother will not be able to do it for the rest of her life." I'm worried." Xue Qingqing said earnestly, "He is a person who values friendship and keeps promises. Even if you become a concubine with her, you will be happier than marrying a mediocre person as your wife. Moreover, he has a wife. Medical skills are not used to save people, but you can help him. You have learned her medical skills, and you can open a medical clinic to treat diseases and save people. Isn't this also your long-cherished wish when you first started studying medicine?"
"Mom, why do I feel that senior brother doesn't mean that to me?" Xue Shangxiang said.
"Silly boy, he just got married. Even if he does it intentionally, he has to restrain himself. Otherwise, how will he face the newlyweds?"
"Mom, you still want me to go find my senior brother?"
"These are two different things. Mom is also asking you to try his character. If he accepts you like this, it can only mean that he is a ruthless person like other men. But if he doesn't accept it immediately, then It shows that he still has his own limits and knows how to exercise restraint. Even if such a man is ruthless, at least he will not be ungrateful. If you entrust him with your life, your life will not be too bad in the past." Xue Qingqing said.
"What about dad?"
"Your father is different. He became like this after he was injured. In fact, if I hadn't drugged him back then, I'm afraid you wouldn't be where you are today..."
"Mom, what medicine did you give dad?" Xue Shangxiang turned sideways and asked with curious eyelashes trembling.
"That senior brother of yours is a ghost. Unless he takes the bait voluntarily, the method of using medicine will not work." Xue Qingqing sighed and said.
"Mother..." Xue Shangxiang snorted.
"Girl, our Xue family has another secret recipe. For women with advanced cultivation, it is very difficult to get pregnant and give birth to children, but we have a way. I used this method when I was able to conceive you... …”
