Hua Rong then gave a brief account of the behavior of Qin Hui and Wang Junhua when he was on his mission to the Kingdom of Jin. Li Yian was shocked and angry. She never thought that her cousin could be so shameless. She was just a famous couple before. After hearing about the fierceness of the family, now I know that she is actually a shameless prostitute.
She was even more uneasy. Since Hua Rong found out about Qin Hui and his wife's hiding place, how could they let them go? When it comes to scheming, Hua Rong and his wife are naturally no match for Qin Hui and others.
Seeing that she was worried about him, Hua Rong smiled and said: "Now that Peng Ju is out, we are just waiting for the success of the Northern Expedition. My husband and I will retreat to the mountains and forests and retreat as soon as possible."
Li Yian nodded and admired how hard it was for them to have such ideas at such young ages.
Li Yian smiled and said: "In that case, we are about to leave, so we might as well have a drink today."
She was quite a drinker, and even Hua Rong, who usually didn't drink much, was influenced by her and drank several glasses of wine to her heart's content.
After they had had enough wine and food, everyone went to bed. Hua Rong quietly said to her husband: "You go and have a rest first, and I will have a few words with layman Yi An."
Yue Pengju saw his wife looking excited and nodded: "Okay."
Hua Rong sent Li Yian to the guest room.
She admired Li Yian. Although they had not been together for a long time, they felt like old friends at first sight and already had deep feelings. When Li Yian saw the words she wrote on the desk, he praised: "I was originally doubtful about the military general of Xianggong Yue. He is a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. Now I see You wrote it, so I know that you and your wife are a perfect match."
Hua Rong felt sour when he heard this.
Who is Li Yian? But when he saw her eyes were slightly red, he was a little surprised and asked in a low voice: "Mrs. Yue, who is this?"
Hua Rong closed the door, then sat down and sighed: "Bulk, I have a great confusion in my heart, and I want to ask you for advice."
"But it doesn't matter."
The two of them sat side by side, and Hua Rong didn't know what to say. She made a lot of determination to consult Li Yian. She firmly believed that there should be no third person in marriage, so whether it was the Queen Mother or Tianwei and others, Although the persuasion made her shake, she still couldn't make up her mind. But Li Yian was the person she admired most in her life, and she was the most talented woman in history. Hua Rong firmly believed that her views on marriage were definitely beyond those of ordinary secular women. insights.
Li Yian saw her sad expression, which made her originally somewhat heroic eyebrows look a little sad, making her look very pitiful. She sighed secretly and held her hand without urging her.
Feeling the warmth from the withered and haggard hands holding her, Hua Rong slowly spoke, "I suffered a serious injury. After I recovered, the doctors said I was infertile..."
Li Yian was shocked. She naturally understood what being infertile meant to a woman.
She didn't answer, turned Hua Rong's hand over, felt her pulse, and then said: "I read a lot of medical books in my early years. In these years of living, I know a little about medical theory. However, your pulse is normal and not infertile." …”
Hua Rong smiled miserably and shook his head: "I was accidentally injured by someone, and I ate Ganoderma lucidum and tiger bones for a year to survive. Maybe, because of this, my pulse cannot be seen. But whether it is Jin Guo's Both the witch doctor and the court medical officer Wang Jixian concluded that I would never have children..."
Li Yian was a little dissatisfied: "I don't know about the witch doctor. But Wang Jixian is not proficient in treating adult diseases. How can he live up to his words?"
Hua Rong actually doesn't think much of Wang Jixian's medical skills. An obvious fact is that Zhao Deji's only son was born with deficiencies and was weak. Until now, Wang Jixian and others have not been able to come up with any effective method. The little prince is getting worse day by day. It is an indisputable fact that he is sick and weak. Especially when Miao Liu rebelled, she had seen it with her own eyes, and she was really worried that the child would not live long. But she naturally did not dare to say this.
Seeing her silence, Li Yian comforted her: "You have been seriously injured. Even after you recover, you will still need a certain amount of time to recover. There is no need to rush into giving birth. One day, the fairy boy will come to your door..."
Hua Rong shook his head sadly: "I am 28 years old this year. There should be no hope."
Due to the limitations of living conditions, women in ancient times were middle-aged at the age of thirty. Many people went through menopause in their early thirties. If they were unable to have children before, they were generally regarded as infertile. Li Yian became really worried after hearing what she said. .
She couldn't think of how to comfort Hua Rong, and Hua Rong slowly spoke again: "I entered the palace today, and the Queen Mother and others asked me to allow Pengju to take concubines and carry on the family line. layman, what do you think I should do?"
Li Yian was shocked, slowly let go of her hand, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and seemed to be in a state of deep thought.
Hua Rong was shocked when he saw her eyes closed, with two lines of tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
She didn't know why Li Yian was sad and didn't dare to speak. She just stared at her gray hair. In her early years, she had heard Li Yian's name countless times and even seen a widely circulated portrait of her. Li Yian was more than just a literary name. First, even her appearance was worthy of being the most beautiful woman at that time. She was truly stunning. She was green, fat, red and thin, but she smelled the green plums in her best years. Nowadays, her bun is loose and her hair is so sparse that it is almost impossible to comb it into a bun.
Time can easily throw people away. How can a beautiful woman of a generation be able to withstand the sadness of time and fate
The two of them had their own thoughts, and the room was eerily quiet.
After a while, Li Yian opened his eyes and spoke slowly: "I married the son of the Zhao family in my best years. After the marriage, the couple was harmonious, had similar interests, and were very loving. However, because of my frail body, I never gave birth. At that time, , my situation is not the same as yours. The Zhao family is a large family, and the father-in-law was once the prime minister, so the idea of carrying on the family line is even stronger. Although the husband does not agree, the parents-in-law have no choice but to force them to take a concubine for him to continue their incense... "She Smiling bitterly, "Everyone says that I am the most talented woman in the world, but I cannot control a woman's fate at all. Even I can only watch my husband take concubines without daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction... But, For a period of time, when my husband was newly married, I watched him go into another woman's room every evening in the evening and come out with a smile on his face the next day. The feeling was really more uncomfortable than acupuncture... "
Hua Rong felt that her palms were cold and she couldn't say a word.
Li Yian sat up slowly: "I am poor and have no children. I am homeless in the south and have no one to take care of me. I am often bullied. But so what? Look at the millions of people in our Song Dynasty. Even though they are prosperous, How many of them are left now? Even if they are the emperor of the Zhao family, where are the dozens of princes and sons during the Jingkang disaster? The son can protect his parents?"
Tears welled up in Hua Rong's eyes, so she took the handkerchief and wiped them with all her strength.
Li Yian stretched out his hand and took her hand: "What does Mr. Yue mean by taking concubines?"
She said frankly: "Pengju once swore not to have another wife. He didn't mean to do it."
"That's good. I've been watching his words and deeds these days, and I feel deeply for you. If he is willing to take a concubine, you might as well relax your attitude; if he is not willing, why should a woman wrong herself too much?"
Hua Rong felt like she was enlightened and finally smiled slightly: "Thank you, Master Yi An, for your guidance."
Li Yian then said with a smile: "You have to set off early tomorrow morning and go rest. Mr. Yue is still waiting for you."
Hua Rong hugged her shoulders, feeling very excited and a little relaxed. After saying a few words, the two of them said goodbye.
Returning to the bedroom, Hua Rong tiptoed, but saw her husband sitting on a chair reading a book of war under the light.
She quietly stepped forward and covered his eyes. Yue Pengju put down his book, reached out to hold his wife's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Qi, I'm sleepy, and I'm waiting for you to take a rest."
He turned around and hugged his wife and went to bed. He had rested for a while because of the trauma on his body. He was no longer serious and his physical strength had recovered slightly. That night, the two of them became more affectionate and affectionate, like a couple after a long separation.
After the lingering, Yue Pengju hugged his wife, his eyelids were heavy, and he was about to fall asleep contentedly. Hua Rong intertwined his fingers and asked softly: "Pengju, it's a pity that Wen Long'er is not here..."
Yue Pengju also sighed. Without his son at home, he always felt that life was a lot monotonous.
Hua Rong heard him sigh and said, "Pengju, it would be great if we had a child of our own."
Why doesn't Yue Pengju want to have a child of his own? But he knew his wife's mood and didn't want to make her sad. He just said, "For this kind of thing, just leave it to fate."
Hua Rong heard his tone of voice and felt very disappointed, and knew that his desire for children was also very strong. Especially since he was not too old now, what about when he is thirty, forty or fifty years old
When he was young, he was a strong warrior, but when he was old, he just wanted to have two women around his knees and a happy family, because the older he gets, the lonelier he becomes. What about when he gets old
The originally relaxed mood became dull because of a simple two-sentence answer.
She touched his chest with her hand and asked in a low voice: "Pengju, do you really want to have a child of your own?"
"Go to sleep, it's getting late."
She didn't speak again and lay quietly beside him. After a while, she could only hear the sound of her husband sleeping soundly, but she was full of thoughts and couldn't close her eyes.
People like layman Yi An, even though they have been wandering for the rest of their lives without children, they dare not interfere with their husbands taking concubines. What about you? Just because you can't have children, in order to take care of your own mood, do you deprive your husband of the joy of having children and a happy family
Is it allowed or not
After all, she was a woman of that era, and she could not escape the shackles of that era. She was exhausted mentally and physically because of this question, but could not come up with an answer. By dawn, her eyes were as red as a rabbit. By this time, Yue Pengju had already gotten up early.
She didn't show any signs of fatigue, she just got up with her husband as usual. There were still many things to do and a long way to go.
The husband's current task is to exterminate the Dongting water bandits, and other personal matters must be put aside for the time being.
Just when King Qin was suspicious of the magical witchcraft used by Yelv Day, Jin Wushu was rushing back to Shangjing. In the cold imperial village in the north of his hometown, a wizard was pointing at the sky and the earth to cast a curse.
This wizard is Da Da, the younger brother of the original Valley God, and is called "Shan Man". Shan Man means wizard in Jurchen language and has a very high status. Da Da also fought in the north and south, and was named the Pearl King. He has a high status among the Jin generals. Da Da's curse was used when he went to Liao Kingdom eleven years ago. After he gained a high position, he became more cautious and rarely used it.
This time it was used because Zong Han, a powerful minister who was friends with their brothers, was arrested.
