The atmosphere fell into a strange silence, and Feng Ziying scratched her head for a while.
In the case of Baochai, I am afraid that sooner or later, you will have to explain it clearly to Shen Yixiu. It is impossible to say that the court agreed to your title of second wife, and you suddenly chose Xue Baochai. Of course, you can also quibble or make excuses and say that you were informed of the title. He only considered this after he ascended the throne, but everyone could see it. With Shen Yixiu's intelligence and temperament, how could he not understand?
There are many high-ranking gentry and noble women in the capital city who want to marry into Feng's house. Xue Baochai's conditions are definitely not among the best, not even middle or high. As for appearance and temperament, it is difficult to judge. If you want to be on the stage, why should you worry about the appearance of your wife?
Marrying a wife with virtue and keeping concubines with sex is the rule. Marrying a wife is essentially about giving up family tradition, because only a good family background can cultivate a good family tradition and a woman's character. Xue Baochai is an imperial merchant family Even if a woman was an official for her ancestors, she would have fallen into decline long ago. If her mother had not been the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, I am afraid that she could only be regarded as a merchant family.
And for someone who has been married for so long, how could Shen Yixiu not know that although the Feng family said that the parents ordered the matchmaker to do important things in marriage, in fact, it was the husband who had the final say. Shen Yixiu even felt that he had only the final say in the choice. I'm afraid that her husband has inquired about her situation from various sources and only agreed if he thinks he is suitable.
Feng Ziying also knew this very well, so he never thought about hiding it from Shen Yixiu. He just felt that he should choose a suitable time and a suitable method to inform the other party. He did not want to hurt the other party because of this kind of thing. may cause misunderstandings between the two.
He also does not have the mentality of treating women as subordinate to their husbands, although this mentality is common in this era, and he also feels that it is precisely because of his calm and equal mentality that Shen Yixiu becomes more and more interested in him. Respect, love, and even some worship from the bottom of my heart.
Seeing Feng Ziying's complexion, which seemed to be a little frowning, Shen Yixiu became more and more curious. She realized that she might have guessed right. Her husband might be interested in finding one or even more than one girl among the girls who came today. Lin Daiyu didn't have to Say, who could that be?
Shen Yixiu eliminated Jia Xichun first.
She felt that the girl was too young, but that was not necessarily the case. After all, she was still a thirteen-year-old girl. She was not young at all. In this era when you can get married at the age of fourteen, thirteen years old was really too young. She was relatively young, and Shen Yixiu felt that the girl's cool and indifferent temperament might suit his husband's taste.
However, Shen Yixiu knew her husband's point of view and always believed that it was too early for a girl to marry at the age of sixteen. The most suitable age should be after eighteen, preferably twenty, which is incompatible with the current trend.
Before, Shen Yixiu thought that her husband was trying to please her. After all, she only married him when she was nineteen years old. She was already an "old girl" in this era. But later she found out that her husband really agreed with this view. Of course, her husband would not be here. After all, it is not in line with the trend for outsiders to openly put forward this view.
So the possibility of Jia Xichun is unlikely.
The other four girls are all possible. Xue Baochai is graceful, Shi Xiangyun is heroic, Jia Yingchun is gentle and elegant, and Jia Tanchun is heroic but charming. She is loved by everyone, and her husband's temperament is also normal.
But Shen Yixiu thinks that theoretically the most likely ones here are the Jia sisters. After all, these two daughters are both concubine daughters. They are all children of the four major families. The possibility of a legitimate daughter becoming a concubine is too small, and if a concubine daughter is given to the same family, It is of course a scandalous joke to have a second child as a concubine, but it does not seem to be completely unacceptable for a declining martial arts family like the Jia family to have the world-famous Xiao Fengxiu as a concubine.
But her intuition told Shen Yixiu that her husband seemed to be very concerned about Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun. Well, even though her husband concealed it very well, Shen Yixiu believed in her intuition, so she reminded her husband not to cause trouble. Come.
"Wanjun,..."
"Huh?" Shen Yixiu tilted his head playfully and looked at his husband, blinked, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Feng Ziying couldn't help laughing and raised her hands, "Okay Wan Jun, I surrender. Well, I have some ideas..."
"Which sister do you have thoughts about?" Shen Yixiu was very happy to gain an advantage over her husband on this occasion. She knew very well that her husband respected her and valued his relationship with her, so she was unwilling to conceal and lie. A way to avoid hurting yourself and your feelings.
"Well, sister Xue." Feng Ziying hesitated for a moment, but finally said it calmly.
"Ah?" Shen Yixiu was startled, with a puzzled look on his face, "Ms. sir, you are..., the question is how could it be possible for the Xue family sister?"
Feng Ziying thought for a while and then slowly explained the cause and effect.
He knew that he would definitely make Shen Yixiu a little displeased when he mentioned the matter of his second wife being granted a title and a concurrent title, but this matter would be exposed sooner or later, and he could not keep it a secret forever.
The sooner she makes it clear, the easier it will be to deal with it. At least she and Shen Yixiu are still in the honeymoon stage now, and her feelings and attachment to her are at their best. It is far better to talk about the problem clearly than to cover it up in the future. exposure.
Only then did Shen Yixiu realize that there was such a complicated whole process here. Of course, Feng Ziying deliberately emphasized the special nature of the Feng family's three-bedroom family.
Shen Yixiu can understand this. After all, a family like the Feng family, which is already considered a wealthy family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, has only three rooms and a single family. It is indeed quite dangerous. Otherwise, why would her mother-in-law emphasize repeatedly that she should continue her family legacy as soon as possible? Those explicit words made Shen Yixiu's face get hot when he thought about it.
Feng Ziying didn't expect that Shen Yixiu didn't have much resistance to the matter of having a second wife and a wife, but then she thought about it, Shen Yixiu himself was the eldest wife and a wife, and the real wife should be Lin Daiyu's third wife, so she didn't want to have more I think it's understandable as a second-family member, but I'm very curious about how Feng Ziying chose Xue Baochai.
Seeing Shen Yixiu asking about Xue Baochai's situation over and over like a curious baby, Feng Ziying realized that the other person's focus and interests were completely out of sync with hers. She was worried that the other person would be dissatisfied with both, while the other person was obviously more concerned about curiosity. Who will be my second wife?
"So the Xue family's sister has a very good temperament, but it's not easy. One person has to bear the burden of the whole family..."
Shen Yixiu was filled with emotion and admired Xue Baochai's tenacity.
"That's not that exaggerated. Auntie Xue's family just lacks energy. Sister Bao should help more with management and advice. There are still some people in the Xue family, but the number of people is withering. The only one who can convince people and make decisions is this orphan. Widow mother,..."
Feng Ziying also sighed. Fortunately, Xue Pan's current situation is much better than in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions", and the Xue family has not yet declined to the point where it is difficult to maintain.
"Have your husband and wife talked about this matter?" Shen Yixiu suddenly asked.
"Not yet. Except for you, Wan Jun, no one in the mansion knows about it." Feng Ziying said tactfully: "They only know that I mentioned this matter to the court, but the court did not agree. As for what happens after the merger, that's all. Farther away..."
"Mr. Xue, if you really mentioned or hinted at this matter to Sister Xue, I think you should think of a way to implement it as soon as possible." Shen Yixiu walked back to the house with Feng Ziying, "You may not I know how painful it is for a girl to worry about her future destiny. I am not familiar with the Xue family sister, but I believe that no matter how calm and elegant a girl is, it is impossible for her to act as well as she can on the surface. So peaceful.”
Feng Ziying didn't expect that Shen Yixiu would persuade him in turn, which shocked him.
"Are you a little touched, sir?" Shen Yixiu's pretty cheeks were shining with luster, and her brows were a little softer. "Actually, we girls don't have high expectations for our future. She only hopes to have a husband who can love her and a relaxed and harmonious family, where she can live comfortably and happily with her husband and children. Since the Xue family sister is as good-tempered as you said and she is not too young, she is naturally eager for this. I hope, I don’t want the younger sister of the Xue family to wait until the age of eighteen or nineteen to get married like I did. This kind of suffering is too hurtful."
Unable to resist hugging Shen Yixiu, Feng Ziying gently kissed Shen Yixiu's forehead, then held up the beauty's cheek and pressed it towards the flaming red lips.
Although she has been sleeping with her husband for almost a month and has gradually adapted to the living habits here, some of her husband's intimate actions still make her a little shy and difficult to accept, especially his likes to hug and kiss herself, and even sometimes Sometimes I like to be frivolous, but in a sense, this is also love and affection for myself. It may be different from other families, but my husband is so young and famous all over the world, so naturally he has some unique characteristics.
But this was in the house, so Shen Yixiu would not disobey her husband, and her husband's attitude was obviously a kind of gratitude and pampering to her. Shen Yixiu didn't panic until her husband reached out to untie her clothes.
It is most difficult for her to adapt to such daytime prostitution, but her husband sometimes ignores her whenever he wants.
"Ms. sir, it's still daytime,..., how about night?" Shen Yixiu saw his cotton skirt untied, and was so embarrassed that Feng Ziying had already put one hand under his armpit, and one hand passed through the crook of the opponent's knee. , "Reading banned books on a snowy night and dreaming about Gaotang in the rain are said to be one of the great pleasures in life, but what you do in the rain on a snowy night, how can it be like playing in the afternoon?"
"Ah?" His face was hot with embarrassment. Shen Yixiu could only huddle in her husband's arms. It wasn't until her husband put her on the bed that she couldn't help but beg, "Ms. sir, why don't you go to Youshi's place..." …”
"no,……"
"Ah,..." In the midst of the scream, Shen Yixiu hurriedly held down his bellyband and got into the brocade quilt, with a hint of crying in his anxious tone, "Then my husband, please go and close the door. Ask Qingwen to guard the door and don’t let the ladies know..."
