The Major General's Country Wife

The wind is cold, the clouds are dense, and the cold of winter makes people shiver.

There are few people in the streets and alleys, and even the busiest markets have closed their doors.

There are two more days to the New Year, a year of hard work, and everyone goes home early to wait for the most solemn festival.

At this time, in front of the Duke's Mansion, vehicles were immediately ushered in. The enthusiastic aristocratic families ignored the cold and the busy time.

One by one, they came to the Duke's Mansion to congratulate, bringing precious gifts, and bringing their family members and children to the door. Everyone smiled like a sincere blessing.

Seeing this, Yun Changsheng felt that it was not suitable for him. In his previous life, it was because of the family atmosphere that he chose to leave home to enjoy himself outside.

In this life, I have come into contact with these big families again, and I am more particular than in the previous life. The rules and etiquette are mostly complicated and trivial, and I live with a mask.

Fortunately, he can stand aside now, watching others greet and greet them warmly, conversing warmly and complimenting each other.

He seems to be a spectator who can't get into this circle.

Yun Changsheng often wondered if he was an outlier, the highest class that everyone yearned for, the life of power, wealth and attention, but he always wanted to escape.

"Heh." Yun Changsheng laughed at himself, the innocence in his bones, the warmth he sought in his heart, he doubted life like a Buddha himself.

The masters of the aristocratic families in brocade clothes and jade belts, the handsome young masters of various families, the luxurious, dignified and elegant wives, and the beautiful and beautiful ladies with a decent smile.

They walked past Yun Changsheng one by one, none of them knew him, like people from two worlds, unable to meet each other.

"Longevity." He Xi came alone, carrying a congratulatory gift, wishing his nominal in-laws a high promotion.

"Uncle He, Uncle Wang and the others?" Yun Changsheng smiled. He was waiting at the gate of the Duke's Mansion to welcome them.

"They are clumsy, not suitable for this kind of scene." He Xi said with a smile: "I don't want to embarrass you, so they all refuse to come."

"Thinking too much." Yun Changsheng said with a smile: "They don't like this kind of occasion, I will invite a few uncles to come over alone some other day."

He made a gesture of invitation, and brought He Xi into the mansion. Yun Changsheng knew that fear of embarrassing himself was one aspect, and they also didn't like to feel restrained.

"Congratulations to my in-laws." Yun Changsheng led He Xi to meet Xu Chongwen, and He Xi congratulated him.

"Sit down quickly, relatives." Xu Chongwen called He Xi to sit down, and introduced him to his relatives, friends and colleagues.

He Xi greeted them one by one, Yun Changsheng keenly felt that the warm atmosphere was a bit stagnant, and his scrutinizing eyes fell on He Xi and himself.

What Xu Chongwen was talking about with them was about court matters, Yun Changsheng and He Xi didn't interrupt, just sat quietly and listened.

There are also people who occasionally say a few homely things, such as which family has better children and which family is married to them. It's all about the family's communication, and no one talks to Yun Changsheng and the others.

The two people were like transparent people, neither of them gave a look, as if they didn't exist, and they didn't show other expressions, probably because Xu Chongwen was there.

Yun Changsheng saw this situation, even though he shouldn't stay here as a junior, he still didn't leave, and went to the banquet with He Xi to talk.

It wasn't until the banquet was almost over that He Xi got up to bid farewell to Xu Chongwen, and found an excuse to take a step ahead, Yun Changsheng heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly left to return to his yard.

He obviously became silent, but he didn't express anything else. On the day of the new year, he attended the family reunion banquet in the mansion and went to the dinner in the palace.

Since then, Yun Changsheng has been completely free, there are people in the house who are in charge of the house, and he doesn't need to worry about it. Xu Changfeng has banquets with relatives, friends and colleagues every day, and he is rarely at home.

It wasn't until the taste of the new year faded and the yamen opened on the twelfth that the atmosphere of mutual banquets eased, and the Duke's mansion became a little cleaner.

It's just that at the fifteenth family banquet, the old lady who hadn't spoken for a long time, Yang suddenly said to Xu Guogong: "Master, Changfeng has been married for more than half a year, and he should bring in some concubines."

There was a sudden silence at the family banquet, and they all silently looked at Xu Changfeng and Yun Changsheng. Yun Changsheng lowered his head as if he didn't hear or see, and ate his meal quietly.

Xu Changfeng looked at Xu Guogong and the old lady, and said: "Grandfather, grandmother, grandson does not need concubines, so don't mention this matter in the future."

"How can this be done?" Yang said, "You don't have any legitimate sons, how can you not keep your sons and daughters? In any family or house, if the wife has an heir to inherit, you should also take in a few more concubines to strive for more future generations. .”

"Guo Gongye." Yang said to Xu Guogong again: "Changfeng wants to inherit the Guogong Mansion, how can he have no heirs, even if he is a concubine, he must have one, and it will be recorded under the name of the main house, and he will also be a legitimate son. "

"This." Xu Guogong was a little hesitant. He hesitated about this early in the morning, and later resolutely let his grandson marry Yun Changsheng.

"Grandfather, my grandson said earlier that I don't want to be a concubine." Xu Changfeng said: "The issue of heirs is not important. There are so many brothers in the house, there will be many descendants of the Xu family. It is not a big deal to have our house."

"Changfeng." Xu Chongwen said: "You guys think about it again, don't rush to reply right away."

He turned to Yang Shi again and said, "Mother, it's not suitable to discuss this matter today, let's discuss it another day."

Yang said with a smile: "It's also just now that I saw that Changluan has a son, a white and fat milk doll that people like, so I thought about Changfeng's heir."

"The nephew of this younger brother's family has already been born, so I have to help him find a few concubines to give birth to Cheng Huan, who is a boy and a half girl."

"Ah!" Qian suddenly sighed, "As a mother, I don't dare to open my mouth. The concubine should have been brought in long ago, but as soon as I opened my mouth, they all came towards me, as if they were going to harm them."

"Mother." Xu Changfeng said: "No one says you want to harm anyone, but don't do things you shouldn't do, especially things that will hinder your family."

"All right." Mrs. Qian said impatiently: "I don't care about your house, but what about the title? You don't even have an heir, so can you inherit it?"

Xu Changfeng really wanted to say that he would not inherit, but he couldn't. Now that no one can take on the responsibility of the Duke's mansion, he remained silent.

"Okay." Xu Guogong frowned, and looked at his old wife Yang complainingly, how could he act regardless of the occasion, "We will discuss this matter later."

He ended the matter with one sentence, but he didn't say that according to Xu Changfeng's wishes, the succession of heirs is a big deal, especially for a noble family, or someone like Xu Changfeng who wants to inherit the title.

Yun Changsheng ate in silence and did not participate in these matters. He understood Xu Guogong and his thoughts. In modern times, most people put future generations first.

This is also the aspect that he is least optimistic about this marriage. No matter it is his status, status, or Xu Changfeng's importance to the Duke's Mansion, he is not allowed to have no descendants.

Of course, there are other ways to solve this matter, but Yun Changsheng is naturally unwilling, and the Duke's Mansion must also be unwilling to use other methods.

He had a hunch that this matter would not be resolved, and Yun Changsheng felt tired after thinking about it.

"Eat vegetables." Yun Changsheng suddenly had chopsticks of vegetables in his bowl, and Xu Changfeng looked at him tenderly, "Eat more, I've lost weight for a while."

"Yeah." Yun Changsheng smiled, ate the food he picked up, and picked up the food himself, without any other emotions, very calm.

Seeing them like this, not affected by what happened just now, many people breathed a sigh of relief, and they don't know why, they always feel that this matter will cause a lot of controversy.

In their eyes, taking a few concubines is normal, but seeing Yun Changsheng feels unusual, on the contrary, it is an extremely important thing.

In this family banquet, some people were happy, some were cautious, and some didn't care at all, but there was no one who said anything else, and it went quietly until the end.

When Yun Changsheng and Xu Changfeng went back, they didn't mention this matter until they were lying on the bed, and Xu Changfeng didn't realize it was unusual.

"Changsheng." Xu Changfeng felt uneasy, and hugged Yun Changsheng tightly in his arms, "There will be no concubine's room, as I said earlier."

"Yeah." Yun Changsheng nodded and said, "I know, it's fine."

How could it be okay? If someone had to mention this matter in the past, Yun Changsheng would not be angry, nor would he remain silent, acting like a normal person.

The more he didn't respond and calmly faced these things, the more disturbed Xu Changfeng felt, "Changsheng, really, trust me."

Yun Changsheng's lips moved, he wanted to say something, but he closed it again, and after waiting for a while, he said, "I believe, really."

He believed that Xu Changfeng had no intention of accepting a concubine, he had said this before, otherwise Yun Changsheng would not have given his all to help the Duke's House, and would have taken great pains to intervene everywhere for him.

However, he is an important candidate for the Duke's Mansion to inherit the title, and he is also the only candidate who can take on this responsibility and lead the Xu family army to guard the territory.

What if you have no heirs?Would it be possible to leave the opportunity for others to covet, the fight will be bloody, and the family will not be harmonious, so that generations of people will suffer from the hidden danger of disputes.

Xu Changfeng: "..." Is that how you believe it?So abnormal, who would believe it?

"Changsheng." As soon as he opened his mouth, Yun Changsheng raised his head and blocked his lips, putting his arms around his neck to prevent him from opening his mouth again.

Xu Changfeng felt relieved, and immediately responded that Yun Changsheng was willing to get close to him, instead of losing his temper or having a cold war, he should really trust him.

……

The next day, when Yun Changsheng opened his eyes, Xu Changfeng had already got up.

He lay quietly on the bed for a while, then got up, washed, ate, sent Xu Changfeng out, and returned to the previous mode of getting along with each other.

This relieved Xu Changfeng's tightly held heart a lot, and he coaxed Yun Changsheng more gently, perhaps he would take this matter to heart.

If you have an idea, don't say it, hold your energy in your heart, one day someone will trigger you to get angry, it will be too lethal, Xu Changfeng doesn't want to see these things happen.

Until the moment Xu Changfeng was sent to the gate of the courtyard and was about to leave, Yun Changsheng suddenly said, "I'm going to the palace to see the emperor today to discuss something."

"What's the matter?" Xu Changfeng asked in surprise.

"I want to open a medical school and do something for the emperor and the common people." Yun Changsheng said: "I'm at home, I have nothing to do and it's boring, just pass the time."

"En." Xu Changfeng pondered for a moment, and said, "That's fine, but is it okay for you to pass on Dr. Yun's medical skills to others?"

"There is no provision for this in the school rules." Yun Changsheng smiled faintly, and said, "Grandpa never said that it is not allowed to pass on medical skills to others."

"This." The corners of Xu Changfeng's eyes twitched. Needless to say, each family's inheritance of medical skills or secret skills is more important than life, so why do they need to be instructed?

"Don't worry about it, I know it well." Yun Changsheng said, he stretched out his hand to push Xu Changfeng to leave, "Let's go, don't waste time."

After sending Xu Changfeng away, Yun Changsheng went back to arrange some things, and when he was about to go to court, he went to the palace to ask Emperor Sheng Kang to see him.
