Chapter 609 Going through the back door
"Don't worry, Lord Hou, I will definitely keep an eye on them and make them feel good." Zhou Mancang promised.
Before, it was because of the folks in the village, and he couldn't force the people in the village to grow cotton that they didn't know what to use.
But now with Lin Xuan's guarantee, he is not afraid anymore.
As for whether Lin Xuan would lie to him, he never thought about it.
Lin Xuan exempted the rent on the village, and there were children in the village who went to the college to study, and they only needed to pay one grade. How could they lie to them with such a thing.
"Remember to hurry up." Lin Xuan reminded.
It's more than March now, it's already relatively late, but the weather here in Chang'an has just picked up, so it's still too late.
……
Li Lizhi chatted with Guo Caiyue for a while, gave her some jewelry and sent her back.
Guo Caiyue returned to the yard where she and Guo Lanhua lived in a daze.
She originally thought that Li Lizhi would make things difficult for her, but she did not expect that Li Lizhi not only did not make things difficult for her, but also gave her so many jewelry.
Seeing Guo Caiyue returning absent-mindedly, Guo Lanhua asked with concern, "Did the princess make things difficult for you?"
Before Guo Caiyue could answer, Guo Lanhua continued: "I told you that it's not okay to be a concubine, you can follow me now, we go back to the south of the Yangtze River, although we can't marry into a wealthy family, but the nanny can also find you a rich family, It's like staying here as someone's concubine and being looked down upon by others."
Guo Caiyue came back to her senses, and quickly said: "Grandma is not what you think, the princess is very kind, she said that she invited us to have dinner together tomorrow, so she let me in, and even gave me some jewelry."
If she doesn't speak anymore, Guo Lanhua probably has to pack up her things.
"I would rather be a mediocre wife than a heroic concubine. You have had your own opinions since you were a child, and I don't want to force you. Are you sure you have thought it through? You know, once you get started, it will be too late to regret it." Guo Lanhua said seriously.
The status of concubines is not much higher than that of slaves, and even some favored slaves dare not offend concubines.
Once you get started, it is no different from prostitution, and those literati and refined scholars even like to give their concubines to others.
Now that she has no entry, she has no choice but to leave Lin Xuan, unless Lin Xuan robs her by force.
But once she got started, even if Lin Xuan gave Guo Caiyue away, she would be helpless.
"Grandma, I've made it clear that I'm willing to be a concubine for Lord Hou." Guo Caiyue said firmly.
Guo Lanhua was silent for a while, and said, "In that case, I'll go to the nearby Zhuangzi to find a house and move out."
"Why did grandma move out? The princess helped me arrange the yard. Wouldn't it be good for you to live with me?" Guo Caiyue said in a panic.
Since she was a child, she and Guo Lanhua depended on each other for life, and when she heard that Guo Lanhua was leaving, she was very flustered.
Guo Lanhua rubbed Guo Caiyue's head and said, "Silly boy, even the parents of the wife don't say that they live in the house of the son-in-law, let alone you are just a concubine. If I live here, people will only look down on you."
In ancient times, even if there was only one daughter, the mother's family would not live in the son-in-law's house after marriage.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with staying for a few days.
If you live all the time, you will be looked down upon.
Not to mention that Guo Caiyue is just a concubine, if she still lives in the Lin family, what would others think of Guo Caiyue?
"Grandma, Lord Hou won't care about this." A tear rolled down the corner of Guo Caiyue's eyes.
Guo Lanhua wiped away tears for Guo Caiyue with distress, and said, "Okay, needless to say, I'm at the Zhuangzi outside the Lin family, and I can come to see you anytime, and it's not like I won't be able to see you again."
"By the way, grandma still has some things for you as a dowry. Although it's nothing to the Lin family, we can't live without it."
Guo Lanhua took out a small box, which contained her previous belongings.
"Grandma, I can have it, but what will you do if you give it to me?"
Guo Caiyue naturally knew what was inside. Inside were some land deeds and house deeds for several shops. These years they lived on the income from these fields and shops.
"I'm so old, how can I take it to the coffin if I don't give it to you?" Guo Lanhua said and stuffed the box into Guo Caiyue's arms.
If Lin Xuan dared to send her a concubine while she was alive, she would take Guo Caiyue away even if she tried her best.
Even if she is dead, with Guo Caiyue's martial arts skills, she can still run if she wants to. With these, she will not be unable to live.
"Grandma." Guo Caiyue hugged Guo Lanhua and cried.
Guo Lanhua put her arms around her granddaughter, didn't speak, but patted her on the back lightly.
……
Lin Xuan returned to Qichiyuan, took the towel from Ziyi and wiped his face, then walked to Li Lizhi and asked, "How is it?"
"It's been agreed. I'll invite Mrs. Guo to have a meal tomorrow, and this matter will be settled. I have asked someone to arrange the yard, and the servants have also been sent there." Li Lizhi stepped forward to take it off for Lin Xuan. said the coat.
Lin Xuan put his arms around Li Lizhi and said, "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?"
There was a blush on Li Lizhi's face, and there were Ziyi and the others beside her, which made her very shy.
Seeing this scene, Ziyi and the others all lowered their heads, making Li Lizhi heave a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan was a little speechless. He had slept with him before, but now he felt shy after being hugged.
"Husband, Su Guogong sent someone to send an invitation card, please come to deal with it at noon tomorrow." Li Lizhi said.
Lin Xuan was taken aback, and asked, "Did you say anything?"
"No, but I guess it's about Cheng Chumo. I think I want my husband to take care of me." Li Lizhi guessed.
This is possible, although with his relationship with the Cheng family, he will definitely take care of Cheng Chumo, but Cheng Yaojin can't take it for granted.
"I see, I will go tomorrow." Lin Xuan nodded.
"There's news from Furongyuan that Qingque has woken up. I want to go and see him." Li Lizhi said.
"It's up to you to decide this kind of thing. I might as well go with you. After visiting, I'll take you around Chang'an." Lin Xuan said.
Although Li Lizhi lived in Chang'an for many years, she seldom left the palace, maybe he was not familiar with Chang'an before.
The imperial palace is like a besieged city, the people outside yearn for the inside, but the people inside yearn for the outside.
"Really?" Li Lizhi looked at Lin Xuan excitedly.
She yearns for the outside world very much, otherwise she wouldn't have pestered Li Chengqian and asked Li Chengqian to take her out.
She wanted to talk to Lin Xuan before, but she was too embarrassed to speak.
Lin Xuan pinched Li Lizhi's face and said, "Of course it's true, when have I lied to you?"
Li Lizhi's face was a bit plump, and her skin was very smooth. Lin Xuan liked to pinch her face very much.
Li Lizhi usually dodges when Lin Xuan pinches her face. It's not disgusting, but he thinks it's like teasing a child, but this time he didn't dodge.
It's getting late now, and it will be noon if it drags on. Lin Xuan asked Li Lizhi to change clothes, and then asked people to prepare the carriage.
When they came to Furong Garden, they found that not only them, but also Princess Changsun Chong Gaoyang and Princess Cheng Chuliang Qinghe had arrived.
Everyone greeted Li Tai, chatted for a while, visited Li Tai and said some words of concern, delivered the gifts they brought, had a meal in Furong Garden at noon, and then left.
Although Li Tai was awake, he looked very weak. As for whether it was true or not, Lin Xuan didn't know.
But he didn't bother to care about these things, it was so important to go shopping with his wife.
