"The young Marquis has returned home!"
As the sole heir of the third generation of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, Li Fan's every move affected everyone. Immediately, the servants and maids reported to each other, alerting the stepmother Xiao Qingyue who was in the backyard.
Xiao Qingyue hurriedly called someone to call him over. After some questioning, it was confirmed that he did not suffer from typhoid fever, injury or bleeding.
After the greetings, Li Kuan waved and summoned a pretty woman in.
"Mother, please, this is the woman I met by chance outside, her name is Huang Ying."
Huang Ying changed from her heroic and chivalrous character in front of others, and acted coquettishly, just like a young daughter-in-law coming forward to greet her parents-in-law.
Xiao Qingyue suddenly hesitated.
She responded with some reluctance and asked her mother-in-law to take her down to rest. However, she did not let Li Chuan leave with her. Instead, she backed away and asked solemnly: "Why did you bring such a woman of unknown origin back?" , where does she live, where are her parents and relatives, do she have any brothers or sisters?"
Li Chuan couldn't answer these questions, so he could only speak vaguely: "We met in the strange realm, and we haven't had time to ask yet, but I brought her back just to keep her in my room and be a concubine." If you want to live in the room, please ask mother for permission."
"Brother Shu," Xiao Qingyue said earnestly, "Families like ours don't care whether they can take concubines or not. Your family has been passed down for three generations, so you can take in more concubines and spread your branches to make your mother happy. It's too late, but it's not okay to be so confused!
Don't worry that she is one of those treacherous, promiscuous women, she is just an ordinary person with a lax family tradition, she will only cause trouble and be a trouble.
Besides, even if you really like her, there is no need to be so flattering. "
That's right, even a concubine or a concubine is considered half a master in the Hou Mansion, and can be regarded as an aunt, with a reputation and status.
Although it is said that the depth of the Hou family is as deep as the sea, the Hou family is not an ordinary family after all. The concubines of the Hou family are much more beautiful than the mistresses of ordinary families.
Even Ru Yue and others in Li Chong's room have not yet become concubines.
Xiao Qingyi felt that the other party was too high.
"Moreover, you haven't even married a wife yet, so you took a concubine first. Isn't this a joke?"
Li Fan heard this, but didn't take it seriously: "It's just a name for romance, there's nothing to care about."
Xiao Qingyue immediately felt a little resentful that iron could not become steel, but it was difficult to criticize anything, so she could only agree to wait until Li Xin came back before making a decision.
After hearing this, Li Fan felt confident.
He knew that Li Xin would definitely support him.
Li Xin had already said before that if Li Ao marries a wife, he must marry a different woman.
Huang Ying was also a strange woman. Although she was born in a rural area and had an ordinary family background... she was lucky enough to master the mysterious realm and a rare treasure in one go.
Such talents are extremely useful to stay in the Marquis Mansion. Although they may not be worthy of the status of a head wife, a concubine is more than enough.
…
In Li Chuan's study, Yang Yan was lying on the table in the posture of a peasant, her fluffy tail swaying like a feather duster, listening to his story about his trip to Taoshan Town to investigate the "Skeleton Fantasy Case".
Finally, I couldn't help but marvel.
"Those who enter the painting will be reborn there...
Friends, husband and wife, brothers and sisters, enemies...
Have all kinds of relationships changed accordingly?
It seems that, as you said, it is just like falling into reincarnation. Everything is fate and no one can control it at all. "
"Actually, life is not like this. You and I were born between heaven and earth. I don't know whether Zhuang Sheng dreamed of butterflies or butterflies dreamed of Zhuang Sheng. I don't know where my parents and relatives came from. It seems to be natural and natural, but if you think about it carefully, it is confusing. …”
"You are very touched, but why do you sound so nagging?"
"Forget it, forget about that for now. There is nothing you want in that strange realm. Are you disappointed?"
"How should I put it, I'm still a little disappointed, but after so many years, I've long been used to it."
She has a big head, short ears, a lion-like mane, and one yellow and one blue mandarin duck eyes full of strange charm. She suddenly quieted down and stopped wagging her tail. She gave the impression that she was a gentle and demure elegant lady. She even spoke indifferently. His words are so free and natural.
But Li Ao still keenly caught the trace of disappointment in the other party's expression.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Since you have helped me, I will not treat you badly. If you have anything you want or want my help with, you might as well speak up."
Yang Ju was a little uncomfortable being looked at by Li Fan, so she changed the subject.
"You've helped me before."
Li Ao was not being polite, but he knew what he was doing.
"Are you referring to the time you dealt with 'Jade Girl' Qiao Ruobing?"
Yang Ju smiled half-smilingly, her tail raised high, she suddenly thought of something, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
"By the way, that foreign beauty Amantha seems to have been obsessed with you."
"I have no interest in her."
Li Chuan quickly cleared the relationship.
The other party seems to have been looking for him recently. Li Fan heard about it vaguely after he came back, but he didn't want to provoke him.
"Then you are still provoking beauties outside? I understand, you don't like foreign beauties, you like the type of heroines in the world?"
"Kitties should stop asking about human tastes."
Li Fan immediately became vigilant.
How come this Great Cat Immortal is so well-informed that he heard about this matter in just one day?
"whispering sound!"
Seeing that he was very secretive about Huang Ying's origins, Yang Jie knew that nothing could be found out by asking for a while, so she had to give up.
After Li Xin came back, Li Fan went to visit and truthfully told Huang Ying's origins and her fate in "Taoshan City Well Picture". Li Xin was really surprised.
"It turns out to be someone who has mastered the realm of mystery...and that magical pen!"
"Father also agrees to my taking her in and keeping her by my side as a helper?"
"Of course, don't listen to your mother and expect a lady from an official family, a daughter of a noble family.
In this current world, strangers and rare treasures are the capital.
If she is willing to be with you, treat her well, it will be a good match sent by God. "
Li Xin and Xiao Qingyue both considered the interests of the Hou Mansion and Li Chuan's future, but the levels and angles of their thinking were different, and the conclusions they reached were naturally different.
Next, the father and son talked about some things that happened while Li Fan was away, but they unexpectedly learned that several strange incidents, both large and small, broke out in the city, affecting more than a hundred people.
The funeral scene I saw during the day turned out to be the result of a sixth-grade official being involved and innocently dying.
At best, this is just a minor incident of the anecdotal level, but it has made everyone in the officialdom of the Holy City feel in danger. More and more high-ranking officials who cherish their lives are exploring ways to control exotic treasures and become strangers.
Even if it is dangerous to become a foreigner, it is better for a loyal slave, a bastard, a bastard, a grandson, etc. to serve the family.
The subtlety of it is really hard to describe in words.
