Chapter 227: Old 5 is actually quite good at pleasing girls, he is better than your husband in this
Li Yuening nodded slightly, indicating her agreement, "What you said makes sense."
Xian Ge thought Li Yuening had heard him, but she only heard Li Yuening continue, "The marriage between the two families is ultimately for the future of their children.
Most of the aristocratic families you mentioned are at the middle and lower levels. They may regard intermarriage between two surnames as a means to gain benefits and status.
For a century-old family like Mingjianmen, they already have fame, power and wealth.
Fame, wealth, power and money are just external things to them. What is truly precious is the sincere feelings. "
Xian Ge wanted to say something else, but Li Yuening waved her hand to stop her from continuing, "No matter how much we say here, it's just worrying about nothing.
In the end, it all depends on Xiaoxiao's attitude towards Laowu. If she doesn't like Laowu, then all this will be in vain.
Although Langjun can see that Laowu has feelings for Xiaoxiao, this is just his guess. Maybe he is just being too enthusiastic. "
Li Yuening successfully diverted the topic away from Lao Wu, and Xian Ge began to tell Li Yuening some interesting things that she had seen when Wu Langjun and Miss Tu were together these days.
These things are all trivial matters, such as when Wu Langjun took Lady Tu to drink wine, he met an acquaintance and was teased, and was drunk by Lady Tu so hard that he fell under the table.
Wu Langjun rescued a flower girl who was being molested by gangsters on the streets of Jinling. He was beaten by the gangsters and fled everywhere. Lady Tu taught the gangster a lesson and told Wu Langjun that he should learn to protect himself first when doing good deeds.
Miss Tu liked to listen to operas, so Wu Langjun asked the storyteller in the teahouse to tell a different story every day, just to make Miss Tu happy.
Seeing that Li Yuening was listening with great interest and chuckling from time to time, Xian Ge continued to describe vividly, "Wu Langjun wanted to learn martial arts from Lady Tu at first, so he practiced horse stance in this small courtyard for an entire afternoon, and was eventually carried back by his servant. Wu Langjun was so embarrassed that he didn't show up for most of the next day."
"This old man is no good. He can't even bear this little hardship, and he still wants to find a powerful wife. Hahaha, what happened next?"
Xian Ge covered her mouth and chuckled, "Later, Miss Tu saw that Wu Langjun was indeed not cut out for martial arts, so Miss Tu stopped him from tormenting her.
Wu Langjun said that you said you wanted to entertain Lady Tu well and not spoil the guests' fun. Guess what Lady Tu did?"
"What's wrong?"
"Miss Tu said that she practiced martial arts every day at home, and wanted to see something different when she came out. That's why Lord Wu took Miss Tu to wander around the entire Jinling City."
Thinking of Xie Yi's unreliable look, she didn't expect that he would get closer to Xiao Xiao in this way. Li Yuening said, "Old Five is quite good at pleasing girls. He is better than your husband in this respect."
Xian Ge opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally closed it.
I was thinking: As long as the husband is by my wife's side, he will keep an eye on her, from getting up in the morning to personally do her makeup and draw her eyebrows, to personally cooking meals, and personally choosing fabrics to sew clothes for her.
He even tested the temperature of the bath water himself. He held it in his hands for fear of dropping it, and held it in his mouth for fear of it melting. Which man could do that? Seeing this, she looked down on others from then on, Xian Ge sighed.
"What's wrong?" Li Yuening took the time to look up at Xian Ge.
Xiange calmed down and said, "I'm leaving soon, and I'm a little reluctant to leave."
After Li Yuening knew that she was a criminal, she didn't know much else. "Did your family belong to Jinling before?"
Xian Ge shook her head, "I can't remember clearly, I just remember that when I was a child, our yard was very big, well, it was as big as several Xie mansions. My sisters and I never left home since we were young.
The first time I left home, my family was confiscated and I was exiled. My sisters were directly made into military prostitutes. I was young, so I was sent to the Jiaofangsi. Later, I ended up in Chungui Tower.
Chunguilou changed several masters, and finally met Langjun. He was really not suitable for business. If it was someone else,
With the beauty of the prostitute in the building, she has already made a lot of money.
The young man was too considerate of the girls in the building and was very tolerant of them.
It is also because you are kindhearted and sympathetic to the difficult life of the Hua girl in the building."
Afraid that Li Yuening would misunderstand, Xian Ge added that the husband did this because he was kind-hearted and felt sorry for them.
Li Yuening could easily hear the sadness and helplessness in Xian Ge's words. "Logically speaking, you are in the Jiaofang Bureau. At the very least, you can only be a singing girl in various mansions. How did you end up in a brothel?"
The Great Jin Dynasty had a clear rule that girls from the Jiaofangsi could not become prostitutes.
Xian Ge smiled sadly: "This is all fate! When I was in the Jiaofang Bureau, I was young and didn't know how to restrain myself. And because of my beautiful appearance,
He was noticed when he was performing for a noble, but this displeased the noble's fiancée, who was quite important in the court.
Later, I came here from the Jiaofangsi."
Li Yuening sighed and said comfortingly, "Since it has come to this, just live a good life in the future.
I asked Uncle Feng to examine each of you. Did you take the medicine on time? "
Xian Ge nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Madam. Doctor Feng made our medicine into pills. Take one pill each morning and evening.
Come back to us for a follow-up consultation in one year.”
After a pause, Xiange asked anxiously, "Madam, do you think I can still give birth to children like a normal woman?"
Li Yuening paused while flipping through the account book. She had already learned from Uncle Feng that Xian Ge's situation was even worse.
Xiange still cares about her physical condition and worries whether she can have children?
For Li Yuening, children are only a part of life, not everything.
She did this not entirely to allow them to have children, but more because she was worried that the contraceptive soup would shorten their lifespans. If they were lucky enough to have children, it would be even better, as it would also provide them with security for the future.
Li Yuening put down the account book in her hand, stood up, walked to Xian Ge, patted her hand gently, and comforted her: "Xian Ge, some things are half God's will and half man-made. We can't change God's will, but we can work hard to do the man-made part."
After hearing this, a trace of confusion flashed across Xian Ge's eyes. She didn't know what Li Yuening meant by "artificial".
She asked softly, "Then ma'am, what should I do?"
Li Yuening pulled Xiange to sit down and patiently explained: "Xiange, the value of a woman is not only reflected in giving birth to children.
We have a lot of things to do in life, and we can live happily with or without children."
Xian Ge lowered her head and thought for a moment, then looked up at Li Yuening and said firmly, "Madam is right, compared to still being in Chungui Tower and facing different men every day, I am now considered happy.
If I have no children in this life, then my wife's children in the future will be like my own children.
No matter what happens in the future, I am willing to face it with my wife."
Xian Ge clearly said this with a smile, but Li Yuening saw tears in her eyes. Infertile girls are looked down upon in Da Jin and may even be divorced by their husband's family. This can be seen from Xie Fang's family.
Li Yuening took the account book next to her and handed it to Xiange, "Xiange, don't worry, if you have any difficulties in the future, we will work together to find a solution."
Xian Ge nodded and took it, "I understand."
At this moment, the two of them were more like friends than master and servant.
"Give this to Bai Yi and ask him to arrange the people according to this."
