When Spring Equinox went to find the head of Huating County, the three of them, mother and son, were discussing the matter of carrying Wang Jixue into the house. Generally, wealthy families would take concubines before they married, and they would quietly carry them in through the back door in a small sedan chair. However, Wang Jixue's status was different.
She is the daughter of Captain Shangqi. Although she is not a high-ranking official, she is still a subordinate of the Huating County Lord. If she is not handled well, it will be easy for those cronies to alienate the Huating County Lord.
Therefore, how to marry and how much dowry to give have become thorny issues at present.
The Lord of Huating County called Chu Ling here, hoping that he could persuade Chu Xiu to change his mind about taking concubines.
Although Wang Jixue was good, it was only compared under the premise that Chu Ling had the Spring Equinox, and Chu Xiu did not marry a weak wife, so there was no need to take a concubine.
What's more, if he took a concubine before marrying a wife, he would unknowingly think that Chu Xiu liked to fool around outside, and he would inevitably fall into the inferior category when it came to getting married in the future.
But Chu Ling didn't seem to care about this. He looked at Chu Xiu and said calmly: "Do you like her?"
Chu Xiu smiled, neither admitting nor denying, "I just think she is very smart."
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows, "Indeed."
At least compared to Kong Youlian and Jiang Ya, she still knows how to advance and retreat.
But her ability to deal with Chu Xiu was beyond Chu Ling's expectations.
When the head of Huating County heard the discussion between the two brothers, he was so angry that he said, "There are so many smart women in the world, why can't you wait until you get married to slowly choose?" Taking a step back, even if it is not Wang Jixue
No, you can also wait until you get married in the future before accepting her into the house. The most you can do is make her wait a few more years.
Although she didn't say the next words, Chu Xiu still saw through her thoughts and smiled helplessly, "Mom, I just don't want to be distracted."
Waiting for a few years can certainly protect his reputation, and he can even regret it at any time, but it also means that he has placed an unstable factor around him. Instead of being itchy and thinking about when he can get it all day long, it is better to get it early.
Set it down so as not to affect his mood for studying.
The head of Huating County snorted coldly and said displeasedly: "I already have two girls who have sex with each other, and I'm still not satisfied."
Chu Xiu couldn't help but laugh, "The eldest brother doesn't have a girl to marry him, but my mother is very anxious. Why are two of them too many when we come to my place?"
The head of Huating County sighed, "Forget it, neither of you two can worry about it."
One is too casual and the other is too picky.
I wanted all of them casually, but I picked and picked the worst one.
At yesterday's bonfire dinner, she thought that Shi Chun Equinox had finally enlightened and knew how to help her husband out in public. Later, she realized that she was not pretending at all. She was really drunk and accidentally helped Chu Ling.
Lost Kong Youlian.
She just said, how could a woman who has always been stupid suddenly become so bold?
In the end, he really looked up to her.
People are so strange. On the one hand, she doesn't want Shi Chunquin to ruin Chu Ling and Kong Youlian's good deeds, but on the other hand, she deeply hates Shi Chunquin's inaction.
As a mistress, being unable to help her husband solve his problems is a bigger headache for her than a jealous wife.
Just as she was sighing, a maid came from outside the house to report, "My lord, the eldest mistress is here."
Hearing this, she and Chu Ling were startled at the same time. On the contrary, Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows lightly, looking at ease, waiting to see their excitement.
The head of Huating County glanced at Chu Ling subconsciously. Seeing that he had no reaction, he said, "Let her in."
When the spring equinox arrived, he passed by Chu Ling and Chu Xiu without squinting. He stepped forward and saluted the Lord of Huating County, "See the Lord of the County."
The county magistrate of Huating took a sip of the hot tea on the table, then picked up a piece of honeydew melon and put it into his mouth. All the movements were done in one go, with no intention of calling her back. He was not in a hurry at the time of the equinox and stubbornly kept saluting.
The two sides were in a stalemate, with no one willing to compromise.
Seeing that Shichun Equinox could hardly stand anymore, Chu Xiu glanced at Chu Ling who was indifferent and said calmly: "Why is sister-in-law here? Sit down quickly."
Shi Chunfen breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up, and nodded gratefully to Chu Xiu, "Thank you, Second Master."
She looked around the room, and her eyes fell on the seat next to Chu Ling. She hesitated for a moment, then walked over and said, "Uncle."
Her voice was delicate and soft, without any emotional ups and downs, but it was like an invisible hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed Chu Ling's heart.
Chu Ling lowered his eyebrows and pursed his thin lips slightly, deliberately not looking at her expression and naturally not giving her any response.
The smile on Shi Chunfen's face froze and she sat down helplessly. Sure enough, she was still angry with her.
The Lord of Huating County watched the exchange between the two of them with great interest. The mood that was originally unhappy because of the arrival of the Spring Equinox suddenly became a lot more pleasant at this moment. They quarreled so quickly. She thought they had so much love.
Is the ground stronger than gold?!
She swallowed the honeydew in her mouth and said slowly, "What are you doing here?"
When Shichun Equinox had just settled down, he immediately stood up and said: "I heard that the second master wanted to take a concubine, so I came here to see if I could help."
This was because she wanted to get a job. The head of Huating County looked at her and said nothing for a long time.
Chu Xiu, on the other hand, smiled and said gently: "Sister-in-law came at the right time. I don't know how to deal with the concubinage matter. It would be perfect if my sister-in-law takes the initiative."
Shi Chunfen looked at him gratefully, and was about to agree, but she heard the man beside her sneer and said sarcastically: "Your sister-in-law will be the one to take the concubine. Will you have to ask me for help with the bridal chamber in the future?"
The smile on Chu Xiu's lips froze and he frowned: "Brother, this joke is not funny."
Even a little bit obscene.
Shi Chunfen turned his head blankly to look at Chu Ling's profile, suddenly feeling that he was a little strange.
But Chu Ling didn't think there was anything wrong. He tugged at the corner of his lips and smiled wantonly. He completely lost his usual dignified and cold temperament, but added a bit of romance, "Did I say something wrong? Didn't she think so eagerly before?
Are you relying on me? Now that you have asked your sister-in-law to come forward to accept her, isn't it that your sister-in-law has been accused of jealousy and forced a woman who loves her husband to be given to your brother-in-law? How will you let people outside see her in the future?
"
As if he didn't expect him to speak so directly, Chu Xiu's brows furrowed and his face turned ugly, "You know I didn't mean it, so why did you say it so harshly?"
He just wanted to help Shichun break up the siege, and didn't think about this level at all.
"Haha..." Chu Ling sneered, "Isn't it unpleasant now? After you marry her, people outside will talk even more unpleasantly."
Huating is a small place with no secrets. Since Chu Xiu has made up his mind to marry Wang Jixue, he should be prepared to face everything instead of simply saying "I want" and bringing a woman into the house.
