Lucky husband

After hearing a rare "Sang Gong", Bai Zhiwen got up from the bed, the man tidied himself up quickly, without keeping Li Mingjin waiting, he got dressed in a few strokes.

The two walked out together, but Li Mingjin didn't give Bai Zhiwen a good face, and he ignored everything Bai Zhiwen said to him along the way.

After walking around a corner of the corridor and hearing the voices of Bai Yaoshi and Bai Ziyi, Li Mingjin's expression changed, and he looked at Bai Zhiwen with a smile, as if he was talking to him about something happy.

Bai Zhiwen didn't expose it, he cooperated with Li Mingjin, and talked about a travel book he gave Li Mingjin before, which wrote about a strange place in the south - there are more brothers than women and men.

Bai Zhiwen asked casually: "Brother Jin, why do you think there are more brothers in that place?"

Li Mingjin also felt very strange when he saw this paragraph in the travel notes at that time. He thought for a long time before he thought of the reason: "In this world, only women and brothers can have children. Most women give birth to women and men. Brothers give birth to children." Most of them are brothers and men. Perhaps the number of brothers there was the largest at the beginning, and there were naturally more brothers born there. Over time, the number of brothers has always been more than that of women and men."

"Well, Brother Jin makes sense." Bai Zhiwen nodded, looking educated.

Bai Zhiwen had read all the scriptures and travel notes for Li Mingjin in the past two years. After seeing the record of this place, he kept it in his heart. After searching for a lot of information, he finally found some historical materials.

In the former dynasty of the previous dynasty, in a country called Qiguo, there was a monarch who didn’t like his brothers very much for some reason. When he was in power, he gave a cruel order to drive all the brothers in Qi’s country to a mountain forest at that time. Surrounding the place, trying to let those brothers fend for themselves in the mountains.

At that time, the difference between brothers and women was not very big in the hearts of the people. The number of brothers was more than that of the Yu country now. This order separated almost all the families in the country, and they were in great pain.

Some of these brothers who were driven to the border are old mothers and nannies, some are just married and pregnant, and some are still young and just children.

After the order was issued, the family members of the brothers did not dare to disobey the king's order, and could not bear to see their relatives go to a desolate and remote place where they could not survive, so they tried their best to give the brothers a lot of things when they left. Close one eye.

Relying on these items removed from home, relying on tenacious willpower and years of survival experience, the buddies struggled to survive in the forest surrounded by mountains.

Those brothers who are pregnant have boys and girls in their stomachs. After the children are born, they are raised by the brothers together.

The next generation of children grew up and joined together, and with the next generation, the group of brothers who were driven away took root in those places, and the number of brothers has always been the largest.

It may be because the number of brothers is large and the number of men is small. If the brothers there are unwilling or can't find a man they like to marry and have children, they can find a fellow brother to live with them, but in this way there will be no children. up.

However, the local folk customs are simple and honest, and the elderly without children are supported by all the people, so life will not be particularly difficult.

At that time, Bai Zhiwen sighed after finding out the reason why there were more brothers than women and men in that place. In his opinion, men were no worse than women.

The person he likes is brother, and there is a cute and cute brother in his family. If the emperor of Dayu Kingdom issued an order to drive all the brothers in the country to a desolate and remote place, he might not want to deal with this brother again. The country and the monarch are loyal, because a monarch who has no sympathy for the people will not be loved by the people.

Later, the tyranny of Qiguo finally aroused the anger of the people, and rebels broke out everywhere. Before Qiguo was destroyed, the people welcomed the rebels wherever they went.

The latter dynasty that replaced Qiguo attributed the demise of Qiguo to the expulsion of Brother, so they issued a decree, and there was no discrimination against Brother.

After so many years of changes, most men are still more willing to marry women, and brother's status is still the lowest. In remote and poorer places, brother will be treated unfairly throughout his life.

Bai Zhiwen thought, if he married his elder brother, he would probably have an elder brother and children in the future. Whether it was for his husband, for his children, or for his only younger brother, he had to work harder.

Because he has no way to change the thinking of most people now, all he can do is to stand on a higher ground and protect his family from being wronged.

Li Mingjin didn't know the story behind this passage. He looked at Bai Zhiwen with a different expression, and didn't think much about it. He just thought that he was embarrassed to say the nonsense before when he was in front of his elders.

When Bai Yao was chatting after dinner last night, he told Li Mingjin vaguely that if he couldn't get up today, he didn't have to get up for breakfast, and the porridge would be kept warm in the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she and Bai Ziyi arrived at the side hall, Bai Zhiwen and Li Mingjin came over. Bai Yaoshi carefully observed the expressions of Li Mingjin and Bai Zhiwen, and saw the uneasiness and shyness between Li Mingjin's brows, and the After a slight bruise, he nodded in satisfaction.

Bai Yao beckoned Li Mingjin to come and sit with her: "Brother Jin, you can do it with your mother, and let Zhiwen sit over there."

The reason why Li Mingjin was asked to come and sit was because the stool next to her had a soft cushion. Seeing Brother Jin's situation, he might not be very comfortable sitting on a hard stool.

Li Mingjin didn't notice these details, he glanced at Bai Zhiwen and walked over, sat down directly next to Bai Yaoshi, waited until the moment his butt touched the stool, he frowned slightly, and then relaxed as if nothing had happened.

Bai Yao, who was beside Li Mingjin, noticed that his sitting posture was not straight, he was slightly sideways, presumably the place where he wanted to exert force on his body was not in one place.

Li Mingjin somewhat regretted that he hadn't paid attention to using more force when he sat down just now, he was sore, soft and painful in a certain place, even with a cushion under it, it still made him feel very uncomfortable.

Bai Zhiwen also noticed that Li Mingjin's sitting posture was not normal. Although Li Mingjin's expression and demeanor were fine on the surface, Bai Zhiwen knew what happened last night better than anyone else, and guessed that he was uncomfortable.

Bai Ziyi, the only one present who didn't know what happened, blinked her eyes, looking at her mother, brother, and brother-in-law, a little confused about what charade they were playing.

Bai Yaoshi quickly said: "What are you doing in a daze, let's eat. After eating, Ziyi will accompany me out. Zhiwen and Brother Jin, you two are free. It's up to you if you want to go out for a walk or stay in the yard to rest. .”

These words are to remind Li Mingjin, after finishing eating quickly, go back to the room to lie down and rest, he is the one who feels uncomfortable after sitting for a long time, Bai Yaoshi picked up the porridge on the table and drank it first.

Considering Li Mingjin's situation, the breakfast arranged by Bai Yao is very simple, white porridge with steamed stuffed buns, all cooked by the cook this morning, hot and delicious.

With Bai Yao's reminder, Li Mingjin also reacted, picked up a small bun and ate it in one bite, and then took a spoonful of porridge to drink after the bun was finished.

When drinking porridge, if you don’t hold the bowl directly with a spoon, it’s easy to make noises if you don’t pay attention, “sucking” or “sucking”, which sounds rude.

Li Mingjin used to be impatient with using a spoon, and he could only take a small sip with a spoon, and it took a long time to drink a bowl of porridge. In order to cure him, Aunt Qiu made him drink porridge every morning. One page of lower case, once more times, he changed his previous habit, picked up the bowl and thought of the fear of being dominated by lower case, and consciously used the spoon.

Bai Zhiwen learned from Zhang Anhao for several years when he was a teenager, and his dining habits were naturally on par with Zhang Anhao's. After hearing and seeing him, it was not easy for even Madam Qiu to find fault with his etiquette.

As for the Bai family, there have always been scholars there, and their family's habit is to follow the way of scholars, and they are not rude at all. Later, under the influence of Bai Zhiwen, Bai Yao's and Bai Ziyi's eating habits became better. The family of four sat and ate together, except for the occasional conversation, there was no other sound.

Aunt Lian, the cook, came over to ask them if they were satisfied with today's breakfast, and when they wanted to add more food, they saw that their family was eating happily.

Immediately, Aunt Lian sneered at the rumors from those outside that her husband was not worthy of the master. She had been a cook for not a year or two, and she had worked in some rich families before. You can eat like Fu Lang without noise, and look elegant and extravagant.

The breakfast at the Bai family's is quite harmonious, but not so good at the Li's family.

Early in the morning, Jiang Zhiyun made breakfast, saw that Li Mingjin was not in the yard, and habitually yelled to his room: "Brother Jin, if you don't get the sun, you will be sunbathing on the bed."

After she finished speaking, she realized that her brother Jin was married yesterday, and the brother who had been raised for 18 years has now become someone else's husband, eating and living at someone else's home.

Li Chengshi was washing his face at the side, and when he heard Jiang Zhiyun's words, his heart was empty.

He was not there when Brother Jin was born. This is what he owed Yunniang and Brother Jin. Later, he and Yunniang had only one child, Brother Jin, for many years, so he put all his father's love on Brother Jin. In terms of body, Kang'er was born and failed to replace Brother Jin's position in his heart. Now that the child belongs to someone else, he feels a little uncomfortable thinking about it.

The husband and wife looked at each other, understanding their respective moods, sighed and went about their own business, hoping to get used to the fact that Brother Jin was married soon.

However, habits are not easy to get rid of. When taking the bowls for breakfast, Li Mingkang took four bowls and four pairs of chopsticks as usual. .
