Late Tang

Chapter 12 Marrying a Wife and Taking a Concubine

Wang Guiniang is the fifth and youngest child of the Wang family, ranking third among the three sisters.The Wang and Li families are not only neighbors in Wangli Village, they have been family friends for several generations as early as in Qingzhou. It is even said that the two families had a very good relationship when their ancestors were still in Yingzhou in western Liaoning.

She is two years younger than Li Jing, and she can be regarded as a childhood friend when she was young.Although the ancestors of the two families had also served as small officials, they were actually defeated when they arrived in Wendeng County, and they were just small farm businesses.There are also many rules missing in the family, and the children of the two families hardly avoid them deliberately, and they have grown up together since childhood.Since childhood, Wang Guiniang liked Li Jing, and felt that he and the other boys in the two families were special.

It's just that although the Li family has fallen, Li Jing has been thinking about revitalizing the family through the imperial examination as an official since he was a child.For growing up together, she has a strong temper and has learned a lot of boxing skills passed down by her ancestors, but only the fourth wife of the Wang family who can't read a few big characters has no affection between men and women.In the heart of the original Li Jing, what he was looking forward to more was a female confidant who was knowledgeable, courteous, with a sweet smile, who could add fragrance to his red sleeves as a partner.

The older Li Jing is, the more he shares with Wang Guiniang, and the further the distance is.It's just that the distance that Li Jing deliberately kept, not only did not make Wang Guiniang retreat, but instead made this fiery girl more and more convinced that he would not marry in this life.Especially two years ago, after Li Jing rescued her who met a wolf while picking mushrooms outside, she became more determined in this idea.

After being pardoned and released, Li Jing returned to Wangli Village surrounded by his family.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the village, Wang Xiaoshitou, who had heard the news earlier, and a group of young people had already burned several piles of vigorous fires at the gate of the village.In addition, Wang Liang's mother and several other neighbor women each took a sleeve and stood there waiting.

"Cross the brazier to get rid of bad luck, smoke grapefruit leaves to get rid of bad luck!"

Step by step, Li Jing completed a whole set of complicated rituals according to everyone's wishes, and then entered the village amidst the cheers of the crowd.

"Son, after you had an accident last time, Mother and your Aunt Wang decided the matter between you and Third Sister Wang. I was worried that you would never come back, so Mother made the decision again. Now you and Gui Niang We've made a marriage arrangement, and now we've become husband and wife in a hurry. It's a great joy for you to be pardoned by the emperor and go home today. Mother, it's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Why don't you take the village leader tonight? Let me invite you to have some tea and wine together, even if you are married, it happens that my uncles and brothers are all here today, so there is no need to send another person to invite you."

Li Jing immediately felt dizzy when he heard the words. In the prison, the first time he met Guiniang and Wan'er, he could be said to have been forced to keep the seeds.The second time, in fact, was all due to the special circumstances at the time. Considering that his exile might be uncertain, the second time was only for the purpose of fulfilling the Han family’s desire to keep the incense of the Li family. In fact, he was also confused about his own future in his heart.

At that time, I didn't think about the current situation at all, I just thought that was the last thing I could do for the Li family.Unexpectedly, a pardon from the little emperor of Chang'an gave him a new life thousands of miles away.

An indiscriminate disaster has been resolved, but a new problem has come.He now not only has a wife, but also a concubine.

refuse?How to refuse, what to refuse?If it was before he was imprisoned, maybe he could continue to stick to his previous practice.But after this short period of half a month, the relationship between him, Wang Guiniang and Wan'er has completely changed. They are all husband and wife with him, and they may even have children. He can deny it as soon as he is released from prison. all this?Even if he wants to renege on his debt, will the Wang and Li families agree?Not to mention the Wang family, the Han family would never allow him to do such a thing.

To put it bluntly, he has no right to object to all this.

The Han family never expected that his son would have such thoughts in his heart, otherwise, with the tradition of the Han family, he would definitely denounce Li Jing for being unrighteous.

"Now you know the situation at home, and my mother also knows that it is a bit rash to arrange the marriage. But the family can't help it. When you get married, it happens that Wanjing and Wang's Erlang's marriage can be done immediately. Although you can come back this time , relying on the emperor's amnesty, but the Wang family's running back and forth is also very helpful. Especially for this reason, the Wang family gave us all of their [-] acres of land. We must remember this kindness for the rest of our lives. We can't repay it now. To the Wang family, let Wanjing and Wang Sanlang get married early." Han sighed from the side.He never forgot the Wang family's help to the Li family this time. Before the Li family had several disputes with the Wang family, but unexpectedly the Li family was in trouble this time, the Wang family actually helped so much, which moved him very much.

"Aniang, fourth sister and Wang Er's marriage, don't you think about it?" Li Jing hesitated.

"What else are you thinking about? The Wang family gave up all their property to help us, so there's nothing else to consider about this matter. My son, you can't forget your roots. What's more, your fourth sister herself agreed to this marriage. "

Li Jing smiled wryly, he wanted to say something, but what could he say?

After gaining freedom, the first thing Li Jing thought of was to take revenge on Wang Liang.If you don't take revenge, you are not your husband, but how to take revenge is a problem.It is not difficult to kill Wang Liang, the difficult thing is how to get out of the body.He will never be reckless until he is not sure that he can retreat unscathed after killing Wang Liang.After this time in prison, he will never fall into prison in a daze.If it was just him, he might not be afraid, but behind him there is a female family member of the Li family.

Li Jing planned to solve Wang Liang himself, and he would not tell his family about this for the time being, so that they would also worry about it.As long as he thinks of a perfect plan to get rid of Wang Liang, and then chooses a suitable opportunity to tell the evil things Wang Liang has done, it will not be too late.

No matter what, Li Jing would never let his younger sister marry Wang Liang, a bastard.As for the fact that he would have to accept marrying Wang Guiniang if he didn't tell the matter now, he thought about it and felt that there was nothing to consider about this matter.After all, although he has no relationship with Wang Guiniang now, they are already husband and wife.

Looking at the bustling family courtyard, Li Jing decided to take care of all of this for the time being.The man has to be responsible, instead of worrying and disturbing a family member, let him find a way to solve it alone.

The so-called marriage, everything is simple.Since Li Jing and Gui Niang are already husband and wife, right now it's just a ceremony of visiting the hall.There are no bridal sedan chairs, and there are no drumming classes. I borrow tables and stools from neighbors and set up a dozen tables in the courtyard.The villagers of Wangjiazhuang and the members of the Li family are guests and witnesses.A pair of red candles, Li Jing and Wang Guiniang, a man and a woman, dressed in auspicious costumes, simply but solemnly paid their respects, and they were officially married.

As for Wan'er, even though she was raised by the Li family as a daughter, she couldn't change her status as a concubine at this time.With a new dress, a pair of red candles, and no worship, she has passed the door.

The wedding is simple, and the wedding banquet is even more concise.A few jars of homemade sour fruit wine, a big pot of porridge, and a few pots of pickles, it's a wedding banquet.

Li Jing was toasting around with the wine bowl, but when he looked up, he found that Wang Liang actually lived at the last table.

"You actually have the nerve to come?" Li Jing gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, his eyes were like lightning, staring at Wang Liang fiercely.

Wang Liang didn't smile, but he was very calm.

"Today is not only your big day, but also my third sister's big day. From now on, we are a family. Oh, just now the family and the Lingtang have agreed that it will be an auspicious day in half a month. I will formally marry the fourth sister of your family to start." Wang Liang said proudly, although he had tried his best to plot against Li Jing before, but he was deprived of all the merits by a big order, which shows that Li Jing has not taken it seriously When this matter was announced and he married Gui Niang again, he became more and more convinced that Li Jing would never tell this matter again, and he began to calm down a lot.

"Don't even think about it!" Li Jing shouted in a low voice.The fact that he didn't announce Wang Liang's evil deeds today doesn't mean that he intends to forget about it.He actually wants to marry Wanjing, which is absolutely impossible.

"It will be an auspicious day in half a month. Let's wait and see. Hahaha!" Wang Liang laughed triumphantly and left.

Li Jing's eyes were about to burst into flames, and he stood there gritting his teeth as he watched him sway away, and his mind began to spin a thousand thoughts, and he quickly conceived a solution to this scumbag.
