Chapter 191
It was almost noon, Lu Feili came back. Ji Wan consciously went to loosen his outer robe, hang it on the clothes hanger, and then told about the maids.
"You are the hostess of Chu Yuyuan, just make arrangements." Lu Feili said: "I don't need a maid to serve you. If you don't have enough staff, just leave two, just transfer the others to the outer courtyard. The people you choose should be honest and honest. But if you want to put them in the house, you should be careful and don't let them have any thoughts you shouldn't have."
Ji Wan was a little surprised and teased: "What do you mean by the thoughts you shouldn't have?"
Lu Feili glanced at her and led her to the dining room, "You know my Lu family style. Men should not get involved in women before getting married, otherwise the mild ones would be sent to the military for training, and the severe ones would be expelled from the family. My grandfather was expelled from the family tree because of this. The maid was shot dead. Therefore, the maids of the Duke of Anguo's mansion were very conscious in this regard. But if the master married a wife, it would be different. Even if the legitimate son was not born, no one would want to cling to him. Maybe in the future, he would have hope for another concubine, and he would have hope in this life."
That's true.
Especially those who serve the young master since childhood will inevitably have a long time of love. When the master marrys his wife, he can be accepted as a maid with a wife. After the mistress gave birth to a legitimate son, it is natural to be a concubine after years of love. It is only half a master who has been promoted from a maid to an aunt. A noble family like the Lu family, even if they have a concubine daughter, will be the wife of others in the future. As long as they don’t have any ambitions that they should not have, serving the master and the mistress peacefully is better than being a maid.
"I am a military man. I don't care about red tape, nor do I like someone to serve you. I've been used to it for so many years. If you want to choose two to stay by your side, I will give it to Madam Wen for a month and don't wander around in front of me. I don't need a maid or something."
Lu Feili knew his wife a little, so he simply explained it to her.
"I won't take a concubine, either."
Ji Wan was slightly stunned.
After getting married, she planned to live a good life with Lu Feili. Lu Feili is a decent person and strict with himself. If he is deeply in love with her, he cannot be alone. Wouldn't her stepfather be wholeheartedly towards her mother? And her third uncle, after he rectified Xu, he focused on her third aunt.
But she didn't expect that on the first day of her wedding, she had no time to cultivate a good relationship with him, so this guy made a promise to her first.
Ji Wan was really a little... flattered.
She looked so cute in a daze that Lu Feili couldn't help teasing her, "I'm moved? Don't cry, I don't have the experience of coaxing women."
Ji Wan came back to her senses and glared at him.
"Not serious." I couldn't help but ask again, "Why? Don't you men like to enjoy the blessing of three wives and four concubines?"
Her second uncle and her second aunt also have a good relationship. Didn’t they take a few concubines?
The ancients received different educations since childhood. Especially for large families, reproduction is very important. Men in the clan will basically arrange maids to teach personnel at the age of fifteen or sixteen. The Lu family is a family tradition problem and must be clean before getting married. However, there is no rule to stick to those rules after getting married.
Several masters from the Lu family all have concubines.
"Do you want me to take a concubine?"
Lu Feili asked.
Ji Wan shook her head and said honestly: "I don't want it."
No woman is willing to share her husband with others.
Lu Feili smiled in his eyes, "That's enough? Most of the men of the Lu family are light-hearted, especially their future heirs, who have been educated rigorously since childhood. Even if the wife has no children, they can be adopted from the clan and enthroned the prince before they are allowed to be born. When I was five years old, my father asked me for a title. As the heir to the future Duke's Mansion, you must not be chaotic and strict with yourself. So at the beginning, I never thought about taking a concubine."
Ji Wan thought to herself that your father is also the eldest son, so he won’t take a concubine anyway.
As if she had seen through her thoughts, Lu Feili said again: "My father only took two concubines, one of which was taken by my mother when she was pregnant with her elder sister. My father was always in the north and would keep it with her, but she didn't care much about it. She followed her father for six or seven years before she had a daughter. She was honest and did not have any ambitions because of this, and took the initiative to hand over her daughter to her mother for raising her. Feiyan was only one year old at that time, and her mother could not spare her extra energy, so she let her raise herself. She knew that her status was low and she dared not let her daughter compete for her, so her upbringing was particularly strict, so her ninth sister was taciturn and rigid."
I see.
"Where is the other one?"
He was willing to tell her about these family affairs, that is, he treated her as his own, so Ji Wan ignored it.
"Other..." Lu Feili paused and said, "She was my distant aunt, who was very distant, and she almost never had any contact. Because her father and brother had committed a crime, she was abandoned by her husband's family and had no support. Her grandmother felt that she was pitiful and could not bear her suffering from joining the army, so she asked her father to give her a concubine's title, give her an independent yard, and raise her old age in the mansion."
The daughter of a criminal minister cannot be preserved by ordinary people. Fortunately, Duke Anguo is a first-rank duke, so the woman is considered to be related to him, otherwise she would be unable to help.
In other words, Lu Feili's distant aunt is the nominal concubine of Duke An Guo.
OK, Lu Feili said so much just to prove that he inherited the origin of family education and was absolutely loyal to his wife.
"Relieve now?"
Lu Feili took her expression in his eyes and teased.
Ji Wan's face turned slightly red, unwilling to be laughed at by him, and said, "What if I can't give birth to a son? You're going to take a concubine."
"I have a younger brother. Even if you can't give birth to a son, I can pass the title to him. Or, I can adopt his children and raise them to you in the future to support you in the old age." Lu Feili's words didn't seem to be a joke, "Our Lu family men promised a thousand gold and would never break their promise."
Ji Wan felt a little embarrassed when he looked so solemn.
"I didn't say I didn't believe you."
"I know." Lu Feili smiled in his eyes, "I said so much just to tell you that our Lu family's descendants are prosperous. You don't have to pretend to be virtuous and take a concubine for me to last. Women are too generous, so they are not adorable."
Ji Wan's face turned red again.
What a lovely one? She is so old and not a child.
"Since you don't like it, I'll arrange them to go to the outer courtyard. Anyway, I have two maids serving me, and I don't like it if there are too many people."
It is better to use a familiar old man as a close maid.
Lu Feili said: "As long as you like, you can arrange it no matter how you arrange it, I have no objection."
