Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 131 Gaining a Concubine

"Then I would like to thank you all for your great help. Come on, let me toast you."

Chen Mo didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. With so much food and money, there would be no problems at all in the early management of the county.

"The county magistrate is very polite. This is what we should do."

Seeing Chen Mo's look, Wang Xiu, Yi Qianchi and others knew that the matter had been settled and they would no longer pursue or settle their matters, and they couldn't help but feel relieved.

After relaxing, everyone was not so restrained and talked enthusiastically with Chen Mo about other things.

When they learned that Chen Mo was only 17 years old and still a child, a middle-grade warrior, commanding an army of more than 1000 people, and that he had not yet taken a wife or even a concubine, everyone's eyes lit up.

Anyway, they have now boarded Chen Mo's pirate ship, and there is no turning back. The only thing left to do is to get closer to Chen Mo as much as possible.

And the best way to get closer is through in-laws.

During this period, Yi Qianchi used the excuse of relieving himself to leave the private room. In fact, he went to the private room next door, found his daughter, and asked her what she thought of Chen Mo.

Yi Shiyan was stunned at first, and then her big eyes twitched. She knew what her father meant by asking her, which was whether she had a crush on Chen Mo. If so, she might have to marry him.

Chen Mo's tall and mighty figure appeared in Yi Shiyan's mind again.

Generally speaking, young girls who have just grown up are in the stage of hormonal explosion and are full of longing for love.
And Yi Shiyan is the kind of person who never goes out or steps forward. He sees relatively few men and doesn't have much contrast. Suddenly, a man who is more powerful than his father breaks into his field of vision, and the image of this man is quite good. Yes, with the help of external forces, Yi Shiyan recognized it in his heart.

And this recognition, inexplicably, the image of the protagonist that I had seen in the story novels all overlapped with Chen Mo.

Yi Shiyan's heart trembled, her face turned a little red, and she whispered, "My father can make the final decision on marriage matters."

Looking at his daughter's childish look, Yi Qianchi knew that her daughter was attracted to Chen Mo.

Yes, there is no woman who doesn't admire Ai as a young hero.

"But Xiaolu, you have to be mentally prepared. There is a high probability that you will not be able to marry him as your wife, you can only be a concubine."

Yi Qianchi sighed slightly, his tone filled with emotion. It was a pity that when he first met Chen Mo, he asked him to be his son-in-law instead of directly marrying him.

But who would have thought that a 17-year-old boy could grow to this point.

A 17-year-old middle-grade warrior, I'm afraid only the geniuses in the capital can achieve that.

Alas, he should have thought of this when he asked about the innate spiritual energy.

Now that people have reached this point, if they want to get a wife, they will definitely look down on the Yi family to some extent.

"Xiaolu knows." As she said that, Yi Shiyan felt a little disappointed.

In any case, a concubine is a concubine after all, and it cannot be compared to a real wife.

A man's taking a concubine is like buying a maidservant. There is neither three letters and six appointments nor red makeup.

Don’t worship heaven and earth, don’t worship parents.

In the private room, we exchanged glasses and exchanged glasses, and the conversation was very pleasant, and it soon came to an end.

As for those who offered him a wife, Chen Mo refused.

After all, Chen Mo is also very realistic and no longer looks down on women from small places.

Of course, the disdain here refers to marrying a wife.

He is also ambitious in his heart. If he takes a wife now, it will not be easy to win over those wealthy families when he develops in the future.

After all, only if his daughter is the head wife, will those wealthy families do their best to help her.

This is in the long run, and it would be inconvenient to reveal it now.

After leaving the restaurant, all the squires bowed their hands to each other and said goodbye to each other.

But Yi Qianchi was the last to find Chen Mo alone and said he had something to discuss.

Wang Xiu, who deliberately asked the driver to slow down and lifted up the curtains of the carriage, obviously noticed this and said to his eldest son Wang Chong: "That Zhang He is very close to Chen Mo, and they have different names from others. I call Chen Mo Brother Mo and ask about him."

"clear."

……

Chen Mo looked at Yi Shiyan next to Yi Qianchi and roughly guessed what he was going to say to him, so he asked Zhang He and the others to wait for him outside.

Seeing no outsiders, Yi Qianchi asked tentatively: "County magistrate, what do you think of this daughter?"

"Born with beauty, bright eyes and white teeth, beautiful and intelligent." Chen Mo thought for a while and blurted out.

Hearing Chen Mo's compliment, Yi Shiyan lowered his head shyly and bit his lower lip.

Seeing this scene, Yi Qianchi's eyes brightened slightly, and he said directly: "The county magistrate is a young hero, what can he do without someone to take care of him? I want to betroth the deer to the county magistrate as my concubine, but I don't know what the magistrate's intention is?"

Yi Qianchi originally wanted to say "wife", but thinking about Chen Mo's rejection to those rich people and country squires in the private room just now, he knew that he had great ambitions, so he changed his name to "concubine".

Chen Mo looked at Yi Shiyan again. She was indeed beautiful. Speaking of which, he had requirements for his wife, but for his concubine, the requirements were not so high. Besides, Yi Qianchi was so supportive of him just now.

This small request can still be agreed to.

He pondered for a while, looked at Yi Shiyan, and said, "What do you mean, little lady?"

Yi Shiyan's face turned red, she grabbed the corner of her clothes, suppressed her shyness, and said in a trembling voice, "I will listen to my father."

"Since Yi Yuanwai, no, it is my honor that my father-in-law values ​​me so much." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Hahaha." These words from the father-in-law made Yi Qianchi feel happy and comforted.

I saw him smiling and saying to Yi Shiyan: "Xiaolu, it's not long before I meet your husband."

It is better to take a concubine than to marry a wife, and there are many etiquettes.

After entering the family, the concubine only needs to toast a glass of wine to the husband and the main wife, and it is regarded as a courtesy.

Of course, everything is too hasty now. We just need to confirm first and then choose a time. The Yi family will send Yi Shiyan in, and the latter will have to stay with Chen Mo all the time.

"Husband." Yi Shiyan saluted tremblingly.

"Then I will call you from now on"

"Just call me Xiaolu." Yi Shiyan replied quickly.

Chen Mo nodded: "I didn't prepare a gift for you Xiaolu when we first met. I'll make up for it when you come in another day."

"Yeah" Yi Shiyan nodded slightly.

After chatting for a few more words and learning about the birthdays and preferences of both parties, Chen Mo cupped his hands and said: "It's getting late, I should go back. Tomorrow I will send a respected old man to choose a time with my father-in-law. Let the little deer in."

After all, the Yi family has provided so much money and food, and he really likes Xiaolu, so he should give the Yi family enough face to welcome him in person.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Yi Qianchi and Yi Shiyan's eyes flashed with relief.

Yi Qianchi tilted his head and said to Yi Shi: "Xiaolu, give me a gift for your husband."

"No, I have to go back to the city and tell my sister-in-law about this."

He had been out for a day and a night, and he had to go back to reassure his sister-in-law. In addition, her sister-in-law was considered his elder, so he should tell her about the concubine.

"It should, it should." Yi Qianchi also knew Chen Mo's life experience.

"Farewell."

Chen Mo bowed his hands and led the people out of Wanhe Tower.

After a few more words with Lu Yuan, Chen Mo took Zhang He and his party out of the city and back to the village.

……

"The King of Heaven and Earth Tiger."

"The pagoda town river demon."

After the password was given, the brave guards left behind at the entrance of the village let Chen Mo and others enter the village.

This is a rule. You cannot waive the password because of the identity of the other party. Chen Mo is mainly worried about the appearance of that kind of strange person who can disguise himself and pretend to be his identity.

Later, Chen Mo said to Zhang He: "This password has been used for such a long time, so it's time to change it. Change it to, question, change from odd to even, remain unchanged, answer, look at the quadrant for symbols."

Chen Mo believed that no one could guess such a "narrow" password.

"???" Zhang He didn't quite understand.

"Follow me, I'll write to you." Chen Mo said.

"promise."

……

After returning to the village, the villagers were still awake. After all, most of their men were still in the city. Although Lu Yuan had reported that everything was fine when he came back, he was still a little worried because he couldn't see anyone.

After seeing Chen Mo come back, they all greeted him warmly, and then asked if their son/husband was okay.

They were relieved when they heard Chen Mo say it was okay.

Han Anniang was also listening to the noise outside.

As soon as Chen Mo returned home, Han Anniang rushed over to him, hugged him tightly, then looked at Chen Mo left and right, and then said: "Uncle came back so late, he hasn't eaten yet, Min'er."

Han Anniang asked Song Min to heat up the food.

"Sister-in-law, I ate." Chen Mo held Han An's little hand and watched Song Min running over, calling him Brother Mo. Chen Mo touched her head again: "I ate, you don't have to work."

"I'm going to get hot water for Brother Mo to wash up so that he can have a rest early." Song Min knew how to find work by herself.

Chen Mo did not stop her, but pulled Han Anniang into the room and said, "Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you."

"Uncle, what's wrong?" After entering the house, she noticed something strange about her uncle, and Han Aniang asked curiously.

Chen Mo did not hide anything and told about the concubinage and the Xia sisters. However, he did not tell his sister-in-law the identities of the Xia sisters. He just said that these two were two maids he had taken in to warm his bed. Only Yi Shiyan had the title of concubine.

Hearing this, Han An's body trembled and she pursed her lips. Although she had already prepared for it, after the fact happened, there was still a trace of sourness in her heart, but it quickly dissipated. While undressing Chen Mo, she said : "Uncle is old, it's time to marry a wife and take concubines, and expand the branches of the Chen family."

Chen Mo hugged Han Aniang and promised: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will never abandon you no matter what. Otherwise, I will also bring my sister-in-law in this time."

"No." After hearing this, Han Anniang quickly refuted it and said softly: "Uncle, didn't you agree before? I just want to be the little girl behind you. There is no need for a status."

"No." Chen Mo's attitude became tougher this time and said: "You still need your status, otherwise if you have children in the future, how will you explain it to your children."

The words "child" made Han Anniang lose her persistence, but she said: "Then we can't go in together, slave. I can do it later."
