incense as a medium

Chapter 185 Fighting Intent
Ordinary common people, the law stipulates that only forty and childless people can take concubines, but that's what they say, but who waited so long?Therefore, the concubines taken by ordinary people are not recorded by the government, and the children they give birth to are also recorded under the name of the main family, but they are not regarded as legitimate children in the genealogy on the ground. It will not be offered by the incense of future generations.

However, officials have quotas for concubines. These concubines can be registered on the official household registration, and their names will be added after the children they gave birth to in the genealogy. Although they cannot enter the ancestral grave after death, they will. Buried not far from the tomb of the mistress to enjoy the incense of future generations, so these concubines are generally called side rooms.

Some hundred-year-old noble families even build tombs for the concubine and Tongfang of the clan. It can be remembered that the concubine of the official government is the closest to the ancestral tomb of the clan, and then the unnamed concubines, and the Tongfang are the farthest.

Liu Bailu looked at Qingcheng and sighed again. Today is definitely the day she sighed the most in her life. She said: "You have been with me for so many years. I won't say much about what to do. Then, just like this Bar."

Too many things happened today, she didn't have the energy to say anything more, she sighed, turned and walked to Xiaoxiang courtyard, fortunately, Fang Yu didn't come today.

However, it was too early for Liu Bailu to relax. Before she could walk out of the garden, a little girl from Xiaoxiang Court rushed over holding a red invitation card.

Lan Mo stepped forward to stop him, held the invitation in front of Liu Bailu and said briefly and directly: "This is an invitation from the Zhou family."

Zhou family?

Liu Bailu's mind was dull for a moment, and she didn't realize it until she got the invitation card. When she opened it, there was a letter inside. She took out the letter and read the invitation card first. It said that she would take the children to the Zhou Mansion as guests tomorrow afternoon. .

Looking at the letter again, she frowned at the familiar handwriting, then tore open the envelope and glanced at it, only after reading it did she suddenly understand.

No wonder no one from the Zhou family disappeared today. It turned out that the young master of the Zhou family was ill. He was the only one in the Zhou family's hands, the only brother in the next generation of the Zhou family!
Although he is a concubine, since he was born, the treatment is no worse than that of a concubine.

This letter was written by Fang Yu, and it was nothing more than an apology and an explanation. There was also a faint smell of medicine on the letter, as if it was written in the ward.

After reading the letter, Liu Bailu folded the letter paper, packed it and handed it to Lan Mo: "Get ready, go to Zhou's house tomorrow."

"The Zhou family?" Lan Mo didn't understand.

"Yes, go to Zhou's house." Liu Bailu's lips were pursed into a line, and the tiredness on his face was swept away, replaced by a burning fighting spirit.

Back at Xiaoxiang Courtyard, the two children had already fallen asleep, Liu Bailu was worried, so he went to the wing room where the children were resting for a while, and saw the two children were asleep, holding their little hands tightly together. The scene she saw as soon as she entered the garden.

Such two small children were quickly walked out of the waterside pavilion by a few ferocious maids holding their collars, and the white and tender faces of the two children were flushed red.

That is breathless and suffocated!

Liu Bailu didn't need the maid to go up, and Liu Bailu went up and snatched the child down, and rewarded each of them with several kicks along the way.

Even Lan Mo was dumbfounded by that vixen's reckless attitude.

Liu Bailu sniffed and really couldn't believe what would happen if she went late. She wiped the sweat from the foreheads of the two children, asked people to place the ice basin closer, and covered it with a tulle The parts below the waist of the two of them just stood up gently.

As soon as he reached the door, he saw a person coming in, Liu Bailu hurriedly stopped and looked at the person: "Miss Zhu?"

Miss Zhu moved to the next courtyard, and today she should be helping in the kitchen, what are you doing here at this time?
Miss Zhu smiled twice, and said, "I'm here to see Le Yan, Le Ru. By the way, what should I do with the food prepared in the kitchen?"

The banquet in the outer courtyard is naturally taken care of by the large kitchen in the outer courtyard, while the tables in the inner courtyard have been prepared, but everyone has left, so she naturally wants to come and ask.

Liu Bailu smiled and said: "The guests are gone, so naturally we keep what we haven't cooked. If we have already made it, there are no guests to eat, so why can't we eat it ourselves?"

Miss Zhu reacted, nodded and said, "What my sister said is exactly."

Liu Bailu took her arm easily and said, "You've been tired all day, so you don't need to go to the kitchen, come and meet my friends with me."

Miss Zhu turned her head and glanced in the direction of the inner room: "I heard that the old lady made things difficult for the two children? Are they all right? Are you scared?"

"How could those two children be frightened?" Liu Bailu covered her mouth and snickered, and took her out the door: "Yesterday, I went crazy all day, but today I got up early, and I'm sleepy, so I'm going to sleep now." caught."

"Oh, that's good." Miss Zhu turned her head and glanced at the inner room again.

That extremely uneasy feeling made Liu Bailu taste bad: "Look at you, you are so reluctant to part, those who don't know think there are your two children there."

"How come?" Miss Zhu's complexion changed, she didn't dare to look back, but she couldn't hide the loneliness on her face.

Seeing this, Liu Bailu asked, "How is it? No news of that person yet?"

Miss Zhu shook her head and sighed: "He is older than me, even if there is news, he is probably married, so what's the matter with me?"

"Then are you going to procrastinate like this? It's not a good idea to keep doing this." Liu Bailu frowned, "Even if you don't care about those gossips, what should you do when you are old? No matter what, someone has to take care of you when you die, right? "

Miss Zhu glanced at her, and suddenly joked: "Le Yan Le Ru is also considered to be brought up by me, why don't I accompany them to get married in the future, and let them take care of me in the old age."

"That's okay." Liu Bailu agreed very readily, and then gave her a sideways look with a smirk, and said, "You are also the daughter of a good family, so what's the point of giving them a dowry? But, you should raise them anyway." , it is also right to let them take care of you until the end of your life. But do you really plan to go on like this?"

Miss Zhu spat at her and said, "You still don't want to part with it."

"Reluctance for what?" Mrs. Lin's laughter came from the main room.

Liu Bailu took Miss Zhu's hand into the house, looked at Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Sun Shao who were visiting their room, and said with a smile: "You are welcome, you came in by yourself when the master was not here."

"Your house is really messed up." Mrs. Sun shook her head at Liu Bailu, pointed to a picture hanging on the wall, and asked, "Which family name is this? It's bold and easy. "

Liu Bailu covered her mouth with a smile, and said, "It's not everyone's, it's from our family." She dragged Miss Zhu to the two of them, and said with a smile, "This is Miss Zhu. Thank you for having her."

Mrs. Sun's expression became solemn when she heard the words, and she looked Miss Zhu up and down, before Liu Bailu said, "This is the one you said in the letter? The one who swore not to marry just because of a verbal engagement?"

"Yes." Liu Bailu nodded.

Mrs. Lin looked at Miss Zhu and said with a smile, "She's a good girl, it's just a pity."

Liu Bailu let go of Miss Zhu's hand, took Mrs. Sun Shao with one hand and Mrs. Lin with the other, and went into the east room. When they reached Luohan's bed, they let go of their hands, kicked their shoes and tilted them on their heads: "But I'm tired." I'm dead, you can do what you want."

Mrs. Sun looked down at the two swaying shoes, sat down beside her, and said with a smile: "After walking for so many years, the rules have been lost."

Lan Mo hurried forward to straighten the shoes, and helped Liu Bailu pull the thin quilt over her exposed feet.

Liu Bailu lifted the quilt and kicked it off: "What kind of cover are you covering on a hot day? Lan Mo, let someone serve the food, and then you can take the little sisters to the west wing for dinner."

"Yes." Lan Mo replied with a smile.

Liu Bailu and Mrs. Sun Shao gave handkerchiefs, but later Liu Bailu went to Xiongtang County, and Mrs. Sun was busy with affairs after marrying into the uncle's house, so there were fewer contacts.

Not to mention Mrs. Lin, she has made friends all over the capital, but the only ones who can be regarded as her friends are very few people such as Liu Bailu and Mrs. Sun Shao.

These three people always have endless things to say when they get together. Naturally, the big girls who are close to the three of them are also very familiar with each other. There is no need for people to wait on this side, and they all chatted in private.

Miss Zhu saw Mrs. Lin sitting on the other side of the arhat bed, and the three of them occupied an arhat bed to the brim, without her half a seat, she suddenly understood what was going on, and said with a smile: "You guys are chatting, I'll go to the kitchen to see .”

Liu Bailu nodded, and said earnestly: "Go back and rest as soon as you're done. We came from Yongkang Pass all the way, and you didn't take a break. Don't get tired."

"I see." Miss Zhu nodded, then knelt down to Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Sun and said, "Then I'll go first."

Mrs. Lin said with a smile: "Egret has praised you to the sky, and today I am lucky enough to taste your cooking."

Mrs. Sun pointed to Mrs. Lin and said with a smile: "Look, you drool when you talk about food, and you don't have your exquisite appearance at all. If someone looks at you like this, nine out of ten I'm going to break up with you."

"Hey, why would I care about other people? I have you and egrets, that's enough." Mrs. Lin giggled, hooked her fingers and lifted Mrs. Sun's chin to press a kiss on her lips. Seeing Mrs. Sun Shao's shameful and angry face, he burst out laughing.

As early as the few people were seated, the irrelevant girls in the room were all taken down by Lan Mo, and now the rest are people around Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Sun, all of them looking down. It's just that I'm used to these things.

Liu Bailu glanced at the maids waiting for tea outside, and said with a smile, "Long time no see, my sister is still so funny. Come and have a cup of tea, don't you see that the Lin family's sister is so hungry that she is about to eat people?"
