"Uncle Lin was joking. This kind of thing is half done by man and half by fate, and there's not much Lu Wu can do about it." When Lin Ji said this in front of the two mothers, Lu Wu was also a little embarrassed, so he could only answer with a smile.
There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having an offspring - in this era, this is not an unseemly topic, but a matter of great justice.
Especially since Lu Wu was about to found the country and become an uncle, the issue of heirs and offspring was no longer a personal issue, nor was it just a matter of the inheritance of the Lu family's bloodline, but a major matter involving the support of people's hearts and the inheritance of the foundation.
Unless Lu Wu planned to abandon this foundation and take the people around him to fly away again, otherwise this was inevitable.
"Hahaha, just marry a few more of the five sons. If you can't give birth to one woman, how can you not give birth to all of them?" Lin Ji said with a smile.
Lin Ji, as the envoy of the State of Wu to confer a marriage title, was responsible for getting Lu Wu to accept Gou Chen and make Gou Chen his queen. This was a task entrusted by the Empress Dowager Mingji of the State of Wu. This marriage was also the knot between the State of Yue, the State of Wu, and Lu Wu. This is a crucial step for the three parties to form an alliance and should not be taken lightly.
Of course, the Queen Mother Mingji did not say this to death at the time - Lu Wu was about to become an uncle, and he had conquered the territory single-handedly. Even the Queen Mother Mingji could not risk her life with Lu Wu for her niece. Danzi risks falling out and forcing Lu Bo to become Lu Bo's head wife.
Lin Ji could only talk up to this point, and the rest was the task of Lu Chang and Lu Yun.
Lu Chang then spoke: "Wu'er, none of our Lu Chang family has any prominent figures in our ancestors. Wu'er, seeing that Uncle Feng is about to come, the inheritance of the bloodline is a top priority. Qiutong and the other five girls are also mothers." Looking at you growing up, I have nothing to say about my loyalty to you, but as the mother of a country, there is still something lacking. In my mother's opinion, the Gou girl was born in the Yuehou clan, and her bloodline can be traced back to ancient times. Especially this girl is both civil and military. , they are really a good match for five sons. If they have a son and a half daughters, the Gou family bloodline is also worthy of praise."
There is nothing commendable about the bloodline of the Lu family. There are only seven generations of clan members in the family tree. This is not to say that there are only seven generations of ancestors in the Lu family, but counting forward, the Lu family is a complete mess. Even the family tree is not repaired. No money.
The Chang family is a little better, but not much better. Their ancestors were at best rich peasants and landlords, and it was only the last three or four generations that became rich and became wealthy businessmen.
Lu Yunshi nodded quickly on the side, and then said: "Wu'er, I know that you and those five girls grew up together and have a deep relationship. Mother is not asking you to give up on them. You can make Qiutong your concubine and let Mei The four girls, Lan, Zhu and Ju, are to be concubines."
Although Lu Yunshi is Lu Wu's biological mother, her impression of Qiutong and the other five daughters is not very good.
In Luyun's eyes, Qiutong and others were tall and strong, just rough girls who did heavy work. It was good to work as coolies for their son, but it was hard to accept being his concubine.
The son is about to be awarded the title of Lu Bo, and the position of his head wife is the queen of a king. It is a bit excessive to say that the mother is the king, but to say that the mother is the king is worthy of the name.
In just two months, the Lu Yun clan, the Lu Chang clan and the Lu Shui clan were recruited into King Wu's court. They had many banquets with the Queen Mother Mingji, and they also understood the court etiquette.
Lu Yunshi only needs to think about it. As the master of the harem, Qiutong summons important ministers and ladies to have banquets during festivals. When all the noble ladies come in to take a look - OK, five female Vajras stand in a row, like a screen/city wall.
It was hard for Lu Yun to imagine that these noble women would react.
My son Lu Wu will most likely become the laughing stock of the world, right?
But now Qiu Tong and others have become the status quo, and they are Lu Wu's right-hand men in fighting on the battlefield and opening up territories. Although Lu Yun is dissatisfied, she can only grit her teeth and admit it, but at least she cannot be his wife.
"Yes, yes, Wu'er, you and Qiutong and the others have a good relationship. It's one thing, but the integrity of the country in the future is another." Lu Chang said.
"Besides, isn't the status of concubine and concubine enough? Could it be that I have wronged them?" Lu Yunshi curled her lips and added.
Qiutong and others are just maids. If they can get into the status of common wives like Lu Yunshi, they are already the overlords of the maid world. Now they want to reach the sky in one step and get into the status of concubines of the king. What else is there to be dissatisfied about? ?
This can no longer be described as green smoke rising from the ancestral graves, it is simply that the ancestral graves are on fire!
In this era, an ordinary wealthy man could marry one official wife and two concubines (concubines were originally women from relatives who were given as dowries, and their status was much higher than the concubines they later took. The Lu Yun clan and the Lu Shui clan were both married to Lu Yun and Lu Shui. The Chang family promoted her to a concubine's maid, which was against the rules. However, a businessman's family always behaved like a monkey, and there were many things that didn't follow the rules. At most, they would be laughed at for being rude.)
Nobles at the rank of sergeant have one main wife and one ordinary wife;
As for doctors and ministers, they can have one official wife and two common wives - the so-called three wives and four concubines are not something ordinary people can enjoy.
When they reach the levels of uncle, marquis, and king, who can establish a country and call themselves kings, the head wife is not called the head wife, but the queen. In addition to the queen, the concubines are also included in the official list of wives and concubines, which is the same as the imperial concubine. This is unusual. Other people's concubines can be compared.
As for the concubines, they were a kind of equal wives. Except for the inheritance rights of children after the queen's sons, they had all other rights and powers. Even the queen had no right to deal with them.
Seeing the smile gradually disappearing from Lu Wu's face, Lin Ji twisted his beard and smiled, but he couldn't add fuel to the fire - he was about to successfully achieve his goal. If he hadn't said a word and let the jumping general get up, that wouldn't be the case. Failure?
Fortunately, the two mothers of the Lu family came here on their own, otherwise, who could suppress this one?
Lu Wu straightened up slowly, stretched his shoulders to both sides, frowned slightly, and a chilling air suddenly spread in the hall.
Just now, he was bending slightly at the waist to show respect to his elders.
Lu Chang and Lu Shui, who were still singing and chattering, suddenly lost their voices.
Seeing that Lu Wu's expression was wrong, Lin Ji's fingers twitched and his jaw suddenly hurt.
He knew without looking that he must have pulled off a few strands of his beard.
"My two aunts and uncle Lin came all the way to see me. Lu Wu was quite happy at first, but now, Lu Wu is no longer happy." Lu Wu said in a deep voice, turning to look at Lin Ji.
"Lu Wu left Wu State and created this small situation because he did not want to be manipulated by others and wanted to create a world where he could make his own decisions."
"Tell the truth to Uncle Lin, if the Wu Kingdom likes this small territory, Lu Wu can let it go. At worst, a certain family will take Qiutong and the others to find another place to settle down. The world is so big, and Lu Wu is so skilled in martial arts. Where can’t you live comfortably?”
"If someone thinks that they can manipulate Lu at will, hey, hey, Lu can build a world from scratch in the Chu Kingdom, but can't he build a world in the Wu Kingdom?"
Lu Wu looked at Lin Ji with a cold smile.
Lu Changshi and Lu Yunshi were just two women. They had never seen Lu Wu's attitude. They immediately became silent and did not dare to say a word.
Lin Ji, who was the main target, suddenly had a smile on his face.
Why don't you get angry at the two mothers and treat me like a chicken, killing the chicken for the monkey?
