Xu Jingchang, Duke of Dingguo, had a sullen face and said sternly: "It's outrageous to go to such great lengths for a prostitute in a brothel! Even my face has been lost with you, and you want me to stand up for you..."
Xue Lu argued: "My lord, no one else knows Yu Chun's original identity, so I will only tell you."
Xu Jingchang said angrily: "Others don't know, don't the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth know? If others don't know, she is no longer a person in the world? Who are you? A dignified second-rank official of the imperial court, a dignified governor of the Fifth Military Governor's Mansion, you
How unbecoming it is to take a prostitute as your concubine! If the matter is exposed, aren't you afraid that someone will impeach you?"
Xue Lu's face was swollen to the color of pig liver, and he kept silent. Xu Jingchang softened his tone and persuaded: "Xue Lu, among the heroes of Jingnan, you are the most famous general in our Ming army."
You have a very high prestige. I value you very much. I have worked so hard to cultivate you, but you have to live up to your expectations.
In my Yongle Dynasty, Duke Jingnan of the Six Kingdoms, General Zhang Yu and my father have passed away at an early age. Master Daoyan is a monk. Among the remaining three Dukes, Duke Fu is no longer in the army, and Duke Cheng and Duke Qi are older.
Well, given time, you will be the number one general in our Ming army. Think about it, how could you leave such a stain on your official career?
Furthermore, do you understand this woman? She is just fascinated by her beauty. All prostitutes are naturally promiscuous. Even if they are good, their romantic spirit will not be reduced at all. They are used to being lax and dissolute.
Well, after you asked her to become a good person, how could she become restrained? If she can no longer bear the loneliness and meets a handsome young man by chance, she will inevitably have an affair.
Xue Lu, if you are a woman from a good family, you take the word "loss of integrity" very seriously, and you will not dare to step out of the way, and you will be very clean and self-respecting. But what about a woman from a prostitute? If you are born in Zhang or Wei, you can get rid of all the nepotism.
A night of love is like eating a snack, but this cuckold is easily put on the husband's head. How can you want such a woman? "
Xue Lu blushed and defended: "My lord, Miss Yu Chun is definitely not that kind of person..."
"Stop talking!"
Xu Jingchang rolled his sleeves and said: "I won't help you! Moreover, I want to warn you that you can't touch this kind of woman! You are not allowed to take her as a concubine! An Sheng goes home. If you want to take a concubine, I can help you negotiate it later.
, why can’t you choose a girl from an ordinary good family? Even if she is a daughter from an ordinary official’s family, being your concubine does not mean you have wronged her. You are not allowed to have access to this girl from a brothel, go back!”
Xue Lu only told Xu Jingchang the whole story once, and Xu Jingchang was already furious. He was born in the palace of Zhongshan Prince, had a very strict family education, had always been clean and self-respecting, and was a dignified official in the imperial court. How could he do such ridiculous things as marrying prostitutes as concubines?
Can you bear it?
In fact, during the Ming Dynasty, there were many officials who took prostitutes as concubines, but that was in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The officialdom in the early Ming Dynasty was still very serious. Once it was known that Xue Lu took prostitutes as concubines, it would be a stain on his political career.
.
Xue Lu reluctantly said goodbye and left. As soon as Xue Lu left, Duke Dingguo's wife walked out from behind the screen. Seeing that her husband was still angry, she couldn't help but persuade her: "Mr. Xue, General Xue is your favorite general.
Can't you just speak properly? Why are you so harsh?"
Xu Jingchang exhaled a breath of turbidity and said to her: "Madam, I love you deeply and take responsibility deeply. I am the third generation of the King of Zhongshan who has passed down to me. With the blessing of the Queen,
Our family's favor has not diminished, and we are still the largest family in the court. However, after four years of Jingnan, our family's connections in the military have been greatly weakened.
Xue Lu is a great hero of the Jingnan faction, and his prestige in the army is actually higher than that of Duke Qiu Fu of Qi State. Now he is my direct subordinate. I spare no effort to cultivate him, hoping that through him, I can revitalize Xu.
The family's strong prestige in the military is very important to our Xu family, and it is equally important to his personal future. How can he be allowed to appear in a place where he is criticized? Can a woman from a brothel be admitted? "
While the two couples were talking, Xue Lu left the Duke Dingguo's Mansion sadly, but he was very fascinated by the girl Yu Chun, and his heart was filled with the beauty of the girl Yu Chun. How could he let it go? He stood there
He was at a loss for a while on the street. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he thought of a person whose status was enough to restrain Ji Gang. Xue Lu immediately got on his horse and drove away with his whip...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In the Fu Guogong Mansion, the family had dinner and were chatting and laughing in the flower hall.
Xia Xun first tested Si Yang and Si Xun's homework, and then praised the lotus they painted, which made the two little girls happy. Si Qi and Si Yu are still young, and they don't need to learn their homework yet.
The two played with the Trojan horse for a while, then ran to Ming'er and played the trick they always liked, which was to talk to the baby in Auntie He's belly, which they didn't yet know was a baby or a little sister.
The two of them leaned against Ming'er's belly and talked to the children inside in a serious manner, as if they could hear each other's answers. They asked one question and could answer one, and followed each sentence one by one, listening.
Amusing.
After talking for a while, Siqi raised his head and asked, "Dad, why does the baby have to grow up in the mother's belly?"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Because the wind can't blow in the belly, and the rain can't get wet, it's comfortable to sleep. Children grow up in the mother's belly, and it takes ten months to sleep in it before they are born. They are all born from the mother's body."
Falling meat."
"Daddy is wrong!"
Si Xun immediately corrected him: "My sister and I were not born in my mother's womb."
"Really?"
Xia Xun pretended to be surprised and said, "I really don't know about this, so where did you two come from?"
Si Xun said proudly: "It was the Poseidon who gave us to my mother. The Poseidon buried us on the beach, and then my mother dug us out and took us home."
Siyu followed her mother's temperament, and her beautiful little lips curled up slightly, like a little adult, expressing silent contempt for her second sister's ignorance. But Siqi was surprised, blinked his big eyes, and asked impatiently
"Second sister, you grew up in a pile of sand, like a carrot? No, if you were buried in the sand, wouldn't your eyes get blinded?"
Si Xun said: "You are so stupid. They have eggshells, just like the eggs laid by turtles. There is a shell outside. I have to crack the shell open before I can come out!"
Xiaodi covered her stutter and stuttered with a smile: "Oh, it turns out they are like eggs laid by a tortoise..." She glanced at Xia Xun narrowly as she spoke, and Xia Xun rolled her eyes and asked: "Then, please
Miss Si Xun, who told you the story of burying you on the beach like an egg laid by a turtle?"
Siyang and Sixun both looked at Su Ying. Su Ying blushed immediately. She glared at the two girls and said angrily: "Isn't that what my mother told you for fun when you were children? You...of course you are also my mother's belly."
It’s raw!”
"Really?" Si Yang and Si Xun were amazed and looked at their mother up and down: "We are so big, how did our mother give birth to us?"
This time, Xie Xie also covered her mouth and laughed. Su Ying saw it and quickly pushed the two daughters out: "Go, go, ask your Auntie Xie, she knows everything."
Xie smiled and waved his hand: "Don't tell me, I don't know. You'd better ask your mother."
The family was laughing and joking when Erluzi flashed at the door, bowed to Xia Xun and saluted, "Sir, Xue Lu, the Governor of the Fifth Army, wants to see you!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In the study, Xia Xun heard Xue Lu pass by and asked, "Do you really like her?"
Xue Lu nodded heavily: "I really like it!"
When Xue Lu came to ask Xia Xun for help, he was overly cautious and wanted to just say that the girl was a good girl and not reveal her identity as a brothel prostitute, because he was worried that Xia Xun, like Xu Jingchang, would not approve of him taking a prostitute as a concubine.
However, Xue Lu had a straightforward temper and always felt that since he was asking for help, it would be a shame to hide the truth, so he finally bit the bullet and told the truth.
However, being a prostitute is not a glorious thing after all. Xue Lu only mentioned it vaguely to let Xia Xun understand Miss Dong's background, but did not go into details, so Xia Xun didn't know about Dong Yuchun.
She is the Huzhou prostitute who practices silk.
Xia Xun asked again: "So, do you think she is a good girl?"
Xue Lu said seriously: "Yes! I have determined that she is a good girl! As soon as I saw her, I knew that she was definitely not a woman who was free and greedy for power. She escaped because she offended her in her hometown.
, with her beauty, how difficult is it for her to live a well-fed life in the capital? But she is willing to live in that broken Taoist temple.
I, Xue Lu, am no longer a minor official in Jinling, but I have been chasing her for so long, but I have not seen her tempted. This time, Ji Gang, who has the most power in the capital, wants to take her as his concubine, and she refuses to agree even to the death.
How can a girl be any worse? I, Xue Lu, have never read a book. It is possible that the Duke of Guo thinks that I am not good at judging people. But these are things she has done. They are really there, but they are not.
I, Xue Lu, am obsessed with beauty and have wishful thinking!"
"good!"
Xia Xun said happily: "What's wrong with the brothel girls? Many of them are poor people who are forced to make a living and have no choice. To say that there are women with extraordinary loyalty, it is not necessarily the case among the brothel fireworks girls. Let's not mention the ones in ancient times.
I saw one with my own eyes in court."
Xia Xun said: "There are some real good people in brothels, some fake good people, and those who are greedy for the rich life of the rich and powerful. They can't stand loneliness or ordinary life. Sooner or later, something will happen to them. But those who really have good intentions, just because they have been good for a long time."
Living in a romantic world, I am used to seeing the harsh conditions of the world and unpredictable people, but I cherish my feelings even more. Once entrusted to me for life, I will never leave you, no matter how rich or poor I am!"
Xue Lu was almost in tears after receiving Xia Xun's intimate words. He gratefully said to Xia Xun: "Then... are you willing to do this favor for me, my lord?"
"Help! Help is decided!"
Xia Xun raised his eyebrows and sneered: "You are this month old, Yang has made a decision! Tomorrow, I will go to the Taoyuan Temple for a walk, and I want to take a look at his Ji Gang's eight postures."
Can't the big sedan carry this girl Yu Chun!"
