Although Gao Xiuer was born as a concubine, she was also the daughter of a famous family and a general. During the period when Liu Ziqiu was on the Western Expedition, she even took on the role of the leader of Changshan Village. She was calm and calm in dealing with people, and had a common demeanor.
Lin Qiaoer was originally a civilian girl with a rough life and a humble status. Muduoli was a Turkic prisoner, no different from a trophy. Although these two people also have stunning looks, they were intimidated in front of Gao Xiuer, and they were immediately compared to each other.
.
Gao Xiuer laughed when she saw their performance and said: "My sister is not with her husband during this period, which has caused trouble for the two sisters."
Although Mu Duoli had also learned Chinese, she didn't quite understand the mysteries of it, so she began to mutter in her heart that it would be better to suffer more from such tiredness. Lin Qiaoer did not dare to be careless and said hurriedly: "What are you talking about, sister?
This is what sisters should do."
Although both of them are older than Gao Xiu'er, they still have to call Gao Xiu'er sister at this moment, and they don't dare to overstep the mark in the slightest.
Gao Xiuer took the two of their hands and said, "Since we sisters have met today, it is considered fate. I hope that we can work together to help my husband in the future."
After hearing these words, Lin Qiaoer knew that Gao Xiuer had agreed to accept the two of them. She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Thank you, sister."
Mu Duoli also came back to her senses, said "Ah" and said: "Sister, I specially prepared a gift for you. I was so nervous just now that I forgot to pick it up. Please wait a moment, sister, until I go.
Fetched it."
But Gao Xiuer held her hand and said, "You and I, sisters, why do you need to be so polite? My sister doesn't care about gifts. Let's sit down and chat."
Mu Duoli smiled and said: "My sister doesn't know that the north is not as good as the south of the Yangtze River, so I hunted a snow fox with my own hands and made a collar for my sister to cover the cold in winter. The snow fox covered his body.
It’s very rare not to have a single streak of color, and paired with my sister’s jade-like skin, it couldn’t be better.”
Mu Duoli didn't know how long she had been brewing these words in her heart before she said them so fluently. But she didn't know that Gao Xiuer also grew up in the north.
Ever since she recovered the priceless treasure left by Nan Chen, Gao Xiuer's horizons have naturally broadened. She doesn't care about a fox fur anymore. However, Gao Xiuer is very satisfied that Mu Duoli can have such a heart, and she can't help but laugh.
He stood up, patted Mu Duoli's hand gently, and said: "I heard from my husband that my sister is good at shooting bows and arrows. Why don't I, as a sister, appreciate her?"
Lin Qiaoer's expression became a little sad. She was already a half-slave and half-maid. Even if she had a few decent ornaments, they were given to her by Liu Ziqiu. How could she pass them on to Gao Xiuer? But she didn't have Mu Duo.
With Li's archery skills, you can hunt for fox or deer skins. Lin Qiaoer's hands were empty, and she felt a little embarrassed standing here.
"Mom, hug. Mom, hug." At this moment, a little boy staggered over from behind. Two maids guarded him nervously, fearing that the child would fall down accidentally.
Seeing the child, Gao Xiuer's face showed a kind look, and she opened her arms: "Sigen is good, come here, let mom hug you."
Liu Sigen's pace suddenly quickened, and before he could reach Gao Xiuer, he fell down with a thud and burst into tears. The two maids were startled, fell to their knees on the ground, and kowtowed: "Madam,
Spare your life!"
When Lin Qiaoer saw that the two maids did not go to help the child first, but instead knelt down to beg for mercy, her heart tightened and she quickly stepped forward to help Liu Sigen up.
But Gao Xiuer said: "Sister Qiaoer, don't worry about him. He is a little man. Wherever he falls, he has to get up. Let him do it by himself." Then he said to the two maids: "I don't have Yang here.
There are so many rules in the house, as long as you don't commit adultery or break the law. You don't have to be afraid, just get up."
These two maids were both borrowed from the Yang family. The Yang family has very strict laws. If something like this happened, they could be punished with a stick or put to death in the most serious case. That’s why they were so frightened that they forgot to even help their children up. But they didn’t expect Gao Xiuer.
His tone was gentle, without even a hint of embarrassment.
Only then did Lin Qiao'er realize that she had misunderstood Gao Xiu'er, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the child again, and sure enough, she got up, staggered towards Gao Xiu'er, and threw herself into Gao Xiu'er's arms. However, there were no tears anymore, and she was grinning.
Zhenghuan.
Mu Duoli grew up on the grassland and has a bold personality. She didn't care about these details. She just looked at Liu Sigen, who was like a dough ball, with envy on her face: "Look at this kid, his eyes and nose look so much like the old man.
It’s just carved out of the same mold.”
At this time, Liu Ziqiu was hiding outside the house and eavesdropping. He had always been worried that the three women would become jealous when they met, causing a lot of trouble and causing unrest in the family. Facts have proved that his worries were completely
In addition, the three women get along very harmoniously together. Probably in this era, having three wives and four concubines is a common thing, and they don't think there is anything wrong with it.
Hearing them chatting and laughing, Liu Ziqiu felt relieved. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Mu Duoli talking about Liu Sigen's appearance. In fact, in Liu Ziqiu's heart, this child was more like Gao Xiu'er. But after listening to Mu Duoli's words, he thought about it carefully.
, the eyes and nose really have a bit of my own shadow. Is this child really my own? But she was given the abortion pill at the beginning, so what happened?
Just when Liu Ziqiu was full of doubts, he heard Lin Qiaoer sigh and said: "What a beautiful child. In fact, the slave family also wants to have one for Alang, but the stomach is always unsatisfactory."
Mu Duoli felt the same way: "Yes, my stomach never moves."
Gao Xiuer glanced at them and then laughed: "Looking at the bodies of the two sisters, they should be able to have children easily, so there is no need to rush."
Lin Qiaoer secretly sighed. A mother is more valuable than a son. She came from a humble background and felt dirty. She always felt that she had to give birth to a son for Liu Ziqiu in order to maintain her status.
Mu Duoli didn't think as far as she did, and blurted out: "Who says it's not the case? I didn't find it difficult to give birth to a child before. The master also promised me to give him a child, and even gave me a pair of
The medicine is said to make it easier to get pregnant if you drink it, but it is of no use. Could it be that I have arrived in the Central Plains and am not acclimated to the environment."
Liu Ziqiu listened from behind and couldn't help but complain secretly. This Mu Duoli was so arrogant, why did she say everything out loud? What kind of medicine he gave Mu Duoli to drink that made it easier to conceive a child was clearly a prescription for terminating labor.
In this era, there is no need to implement family planning and allow women to have more children for themselves. Of course Liu Ziqiu is willing. Moreover, Lin Qiaoer and Mu Duoli are relatively mature women, so there is no need to worry about harming their bodies. It’s just that
Liu Ziqiu has received many years of training. Although he also likes to take risks, he has his own rational side when dealing with things.
Liu Ziqiu is a man who wants to do great things. One day he will reach the pinnacle of power, and everything he has achieved will be passed down from generation to generation. Since ancient times, it has been emphasized that the legitimate son should be the eldest son. If the legitimate son is not the eldest son, the throne will be passed on.
Sometimes it can become a source of unrest.
However, power is too attractive to people. Even like Yang Guang and Yang Yong, their compatriots will inevitably kill each other. All Liu Ziqiu can do is try to nip it in the bud. He does not know that Gao Xiuer has already given birth to him.
She had a son, but she only wanted to wait until Gao Xiuer gave birth to the child before allowing other women to conceive the child. That’s why Liu Ziqiu gave Lin Qiaoer and Mu Duoli the abortion pill. Of course, the world is in chaos now, and Liu Ziqiu doesn’t want him to
The children were born in troubled times.
But Gao Xiuer vaguely guessed something, frowned and said: "Next time my husband prepares medicine for you, show it to my sister. My sister's medical skills are no worse than my husband. I will add or subtract a few more flavors to the recipe for you.
I hope you will be satisfied."
In the past two years, Gao Xiuer had devoted herself to studying medical skills when she had nothing to do. Her medical skills were much better than those of Liu Ziqiu. However, she abided by the rules of male superiority and female inferiority and refused to show that she was better than Liu Ziqiu.
Even so, Gao Xiuer's heart was still full of doubts. She could conclude that Liu Ziqiu must have given Lin Qiaoer and Mu Duoli the abortion pill. Did Liu Ziqiu not like children? But Liu Ziqiu clearly loved Liu Sigen.
Liu Ziqiu was shocked. Could it be that Gao Xiuer already knew how to solve the problem of abortion? In that case, Liu Sigen was his biological son! Thinking that he had doubted Gao Xiuer, Liu Ziqiu felt a little guilty. Fortunately, he made a decision in time to accept that Gao Xiuer gave birth to a baby.
Otherwise, if he questions the child face to face, how will he face the mother and child in the future?
The whole thing was a bit confusing, and Liu Ziqiu couldn't make a decision for a while. He could only take it one step at a time. The truth would eventually come out one day.
At this moment, another young woman's voice came from the room: "My slave has met the madam. The empress learned that the madam came from the south of the Yangtze River. She held a special banquet to welcome the madam and cleanse her from the dust. She ordered the slave to come and invite her."
Gao Xiuer was slightly startled: "Empress? What empress?"
Lin Qiaoer quickly explained: "Sister, she is Empress Xiao, the queen of the late Emperor Yang Guang. She came to Hongnong with her sisters and also lives in the Yang family's big house."
Every aristocratic family is indispensable for a big house, and the Yang family of Hongnong is no exception. Although they borrowed this house and some maids from the Yang family, Liu Ziqiu was not overbearing and still followed the principle of letting guests do as they please.
Tell the Yang family how many people are coming today, and how to arrange their accommodation is entirely up to the Yang family. Although Gao Xiuer is Liu Ziqiu's head wife, she has no involvement.
Liu Ziqiu did not disclose the identities of Empress Xiao and others to the Yang family. However, both Lin Qiaoer and Mu Duoli knew about it, but they hid it from Gao Xiuer.
