Since Zhou Chunsheng has now divorced Yao, the family has lost a female dependent at his disposal.
Even making tea, he had to do it himself.
Invite a servant?
That doesn't mean it's not possible, but it does cost a lot of money.
For Zhou Chunsheng, who was dawdling and had no power, it was difficult to bear in terms of salary.
Living in the capital is not easy.
Qi Yu has a deep understanding of this.
While Zhou Chunsheng was making tea, he began to talk about old times with his cousin.
However, as he was talking, he brought up Qi Xiao's previous case.
It is not difficult to see from his expression that he was very disdainful of what Yao did when he abandoned his wife. He even firmly believed that it was the Zhou family that had failed the Qi family.
It was precisely because of this that he did not go to Qi's house recently.
He felt that he was really too shameless to see his cousin.
"Cousin, please don't say that. Without the protection of my second uncle, how could I be where I am today? Our two families are close relatives who are tied to each other. It's a bit too much for you to say that.
Out of sight."
"Thank you cousin for your generosity."
Qi Yu looked around the deserted courtyard and suggested, "In Brother Yu's opinion, why don't you resign from your current position as an official in the capital and come with me to Nanyang. There, I can arrange a deacon at will, and you can support your family."
Zhou Chunsheng shook his head resolutely and said, "I appreciate my cousin's kindness. I'm used to living in the capital and don't want to move again."
Qi Yu sighed after hearing this and said: "Since you are not willing to travel far, I won't force you anymore. When I turn around, I will ask my servants to give you some money to supplement your family income. You are living a life with little water and water.
I looked a little embarrassed."
Unexpectedly, his proposal was explicitly rejected by Zhou Chunsheng.
Moreover, he is very decisive.
"My current income is not enough compared to the previous period, but more than the lower level. Although it is not luxurious, it is not tight either. I am quite satisfied with living such a life. Therefore, my cousin does not need to give me money. If I really need it, I will take the initiative to ask for it.
You spoke."
"Oh well!"
Qi Yu sighed helplessly and said: "I rely on you for all the above things, but you must rely on me for another matter, and no discussion is allowed."
Zhou Chunsheng was startled and wondered: "I wonder what my cousin is referring to?" "I want to take my cousin Junmao to Qiongzhou and let him learn advanced knowledge there. If we continue to hang out like this in the capital, he will
I’m afraid I’ll be doing nothing in this life.”
"this……"
Qi Yu once heard Yin Tao mention that Zhou Junmao often hangs out with the second-generation officials. If this continues for a long time, wouldn't it be a wasted youth?
Children who grow up in such an atmosphere are useless in other aspects except eating, drinking and having fun.
Therefore, Qi Yu wanted to change his environment to a better one so that he could take the right path.
Although Zhou Chunsheng has an honest personality, he is not stupid. Soon, he understood his cousin's good intentions.
When it came to his child's future, he chose to compromise very rationally.
With my cousin taking care of it, what else is there to worry about?
After finalizing the matter, Qi Yu sent out an invitation and said: "Tomorrow is my wedding. You must remember to arrive on time. If you are late, I will be angry."
Zhou Chunsheng quickly replied: "Cousin, where are you talking about? Can I not go to your wedding?"
"Haha, that's good, that's good!"
"Don't worry, cousin!"
…
The night passed by in a flash.
With the loud crow of the cock in the morning, a new day begins.
This day is Qi Shaobao's concubine day, which is very eye-catching.
The sun had just climbed up the east window, and the melon-eaters began to have heated discussions about etiquette.
etiquette?
Is there any other explanation for this thing?
Of course!
At this time, a learned old Confucian stood up and popularized relevant knowledge.
According to him, marrying a wife and taking a concubine are completely different etiquettes and must not be confused.
To marry a wife, that is, to marry a real wife, you need to be a matchmaker and arrange it in a grand way by visiting the bride at your door.
At that time, the woman wears a bright red wedding dress, rides in an eight-carriage sedan, and heads to her husband's house in a bustling atmosphere. The man, on the other hand, wears red and colorful clothes, rides on a big horse, and returns home with his beauty in his arms.
After arriving at the man's house, the head wife can enter through the wide open middle door to show her status as the hostess.
The treatment I enjoyed was quite different.
Taking a concubine does not require a so-called matchmaker, it only requires the heads of both families to nod and agree.
When leaving the court, the woman can only wear a pink wedding dress, take a small sedan, and take the initiative to go to her husband's house in a low-key manner. On the man's side, there is no need to greet him in person, or to cheer him up, just
Just hang a few strips of red silk and that's it.
When passing through the man's house, the concubine could only enter through the side door to show her status as a concubine.
Looking at Qi Shaobao again, he is already married to a real wife, so logically speaking, this wedding should be arranged according to the concubine etiquette.
Even if the woman is a noble Lady of Wei, there is no exception, because this is a rule set by the ancestors.
However, according to the information revealed by the Yin family, Mr. Qi actually insisted on marrying a married woman with the courtesy of a real wife, and there were no shortage of relevant etiquette.
So the question is, how can Mr. Qi have two wives at the same time?
Wouldn’t this mean that there is no big thing and no small thing?
Throughout the ages, no one has ever heard of such a precedent.
Strange, very strange!
It's so strange that it's incomprehensible.
It is not difficult to see from this that the world is still quite critical of Qi Yu's deliberate breaking of rules.
They all agreed that Mr. Qi, as the young guardian of the country, should set an example. How could he take the lead in making such nonsense?
Qi Yu naturally doesn't care about these worldly opinions.
If you marry your own wife, what does it have to do with others? Go your own way and let others have their say!
If he hadn't been worried about Yin Jun's feelings, he would have wanted to let Yin Tao wear that wonderful wedding dress.
But they saw Qi Yu, with big red flowers hanging all over his body and black sunglasses on his eyes, riding forward on a tall horse with his head held high in the spring breeze.
Behind him, there was also a wedding-welcoming brigade that was more than a hundred feet long. It looked majestic, magnificent and full of majesty.
In addition to these extra performers pretending to be guards, there is also a joyful troupe composed of more than ten people. They are all in high spirits, and they all use their strength to play festive music.
"Master Qi, the Yin Mansion has arrived!"
"Well, get ready to welcome the bride!"
At this time, Mr. Zhong Yi, the man's nominal matchmaker and officiant, strode out and started negotiations with the woman's matchmaker.
There are two matchmakers for the woman, namely Yuwen Hongyuan and Yang Gonglin.
After the matchmakers from both parties met, they began to prepare the ceremony for leaving the cabinet.
