Finally, in a "cheerful" state, Liu Huixiang finished calculating the dividends.
Putting down the brush, she lowered her head and glanced at the claw of An Lushan that was causing trouble on her body. Her playful expression gradually subsided. It was time to get down to business now:
"Sir, there is one thing... I have always wanted to tell you..."
"Madam, please tell me, I'm listening."
Su Xian's voice came from under her armpit, still a little muffled.
Because Su Xian got his head into her clothes...
Liu Huixiang opened her red lips lightly, but she took a short breath. Su Xian made her heart tremble, but she suppressed the ripples in her heart and said:
"Sir, this matter is very important..."
"..."
Su Xian made all-round movements, drilled out his head, and then retracted An Lushan's claws. He smiled with a slightly serious look on his face and said, "Madam, please tell me."
"Master, although I come from a wealthy family, I have been betrothed to many people...Although I have not really married them, let alone entered the bridal chamber, I have always been a widow..."
"I am already twenty-five this year, but the young master is only eighteen..."
"..."
As she told him, Su Xian finally became serious and put away his thoughts of having fun.
Yes, Liu Huixiang is no longer a 28-year-old girl. She has experienced many ups and downs... Su Xian knew these things well, but never mentioned them actively for fear of arousing the sad past in her heart.
Now that she took the initiative to mention it, Su Xian had a vague feeling in his heart.
After Liu Huixiang finished speaking, Su Xian advised with a solemn expression: "Madam, don't think too much. Let the past go by. We should focus on the future."
"What the young master said is true. I am focusing on the future. For the sake of the young master's reputation and my situation, I have to put forward a condition for the marriage."
Liu Huixiang turned her head, her eyes watery, with a trace of sadness on her face, but she was extremely serious and determined.
Su Xian's expression changed, and he said that marriage is a matter between two people after all, and the other party also has the right to raise conditions, so he asked in a deep voice: "Madam, please tell me, no matter what you want or what you want to do, I will fully support you!"
"Really?" Liu Huixiang asked.
"Of course it's true. A true man must keep his word, and it's hard to keep him back!" Su Xian made his promise seriously. Of course, he thought it was an "everlasting oath" between him and Liu Huixiang.
The conditions Liu Huixiang put forward were nothing more than "you must love me"...
Liu Huixiang was very calm after hearing this.
To be honest, she also wants to be Su Xian's first wife, and no woman doesn't want to.
But... today's social atmosphere does not allow it, especially for Su Xian, whose future achievements are limitless. If he marries a widow as his main wife——
It’s not just social culture that doesn’t allow it!
The court will not allow it!
The imperial censors in the imperial court are not vegetarians...
And Liu Huixiang herself was unable to secure her position as the head wife. In the end, she was either kicked out or kicked out...
Therefore, today's discussion has been brewing in her heart for a long time.
She didn't have enough courage to speak out about this before. It wasn't until just now that a small number of neighbors on the street thought that "she is actually a prosperous husband" came to her ears that she completely made up her mind.
After gathering her composure, Liu Huixiang finally said:
"My status as a concubine is low and I am not qualified to be the master's wife. After I marry into the master's family, I can only be a concubine... The master's wife must be of high status and be a perfect woman!"
"..."
Su Xian was startled.
Fall into sluggishness.
He didn't expect that the conditions Liu Huixiang proposed were not an eternal vow like "you must love me"?
Then his brows squeezed into a "Chuan" shape.
In his expectation, Liu Huixiang would be the first wife when she entered his house.
Judging from his limited knowledge of historical customs and humanities, before the Song Dynasty, in order to increase the population, the court generally encouraged widows to remarry...
But he ignored an important fact. The imperial court encouraged widows to remarry, not to high-ranking officials, but to ordinary civilians.
Su Xian has never considered this problem, or even discovered this problem.
He did not dislike Liu Huixiang's identity as a widow. She was not a real widow. At least she was a virgin before she met him. Her slightly mature charm had fascinated Su Xian.
I recall the day when I just traveled through time. The weather was extremely hot. Su Xian fell into a coma on the street paved with bluestones. It was Liu Huixiang who brought him a bowl of water and saved him.
He never forgot the white, tender and beautiful face he saw when he opened his eyes.
She is simply the white moonlight and angel in Su Xian's heart.
Su Xian once silently made up his mind in his heart. Since Liu Huixiang had a bad life in the first half of her life, he must make her worry-free in the second half of her life and live in happiness and happiness forever!
But now, the Bai Yueguang and Angel in his heart actively asked to be his concubine?
Concubine...
Strange yet familiar vocabulary.
Strange because Su Xian comes from the 21st century after all. Although he has merged with his original body, his experiences, knowledge, habits, etc. belonging to the 21st century have not completely disappeared.
They are familiar with each other because their original father, Su Zheng, is the son of a concubine. As concubines of aristocratic families, their family of three has experienced many hardships...
Concubine is not a good status!
Su Xian possesses two modes of thinking at the same time, one belonging to the 21st century and the other belonging to ancient times. The two are integrated but independent of each other.
As the saying goes, "people should actively adapt to the environment" rather than "the environment passively adapts to people", so most of Su Xian's behavioral patterns are similar to ancient thinking patterns.
Including the issue of whether to take concubines in the future, he is also prepared to handle it in the way of the ancients. Adding a little bit of 21st century thinking, it becomes "it all depends on fate and timing."
If the time is right, there is no harm in taking concubines.
Even in the 21st century, there are still some countries or regions that practice polygamy, which is also a part of modern civilization.
In Su Xian's opinion, this does not conflict with special affection, otherwise those areas where polygamy is practiced would have become a mess...
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Times are different, backgrounds are different, people’s thoughts and ways of living are also different, and many things cannot be generalized.
Although there were cases in ancient times where wives and concubines fought for power and caused unrest in the family, "harmony between wives and concubines and a stable family" was the norm, and the norm naturally did not need to be recorded deliberately.
Regarding the specific matter of "Liu Huixiang actively asked to be a concubine", Su Xian thought for a moment and decided not to follow the behavior patterns of the ancients, but to follow his own heart.
It is true that, with the fusion of his original memory and emotions, he instantly understood Liu Huixiang's motives and concerns. In the context of today's times, Liu Huixiang's move is completely reasonable.
But Liu Huixiang was always different to him. She was Bai Yueguang, she was an angel, and Su Xian's desire to make her his wife was very strong.
The plan was decided, Su Xian looked into her eyes and said seriously:
"No! I don't agree!"
"..."
