Seeing that Uncle Li had misunderstood, Wen Renchi couldn't laugh or cry, and quickly explained: "Where are you thinking? I just said that I will find a way to make up for the shortfall in the house, and of course I will use legitimate means."
Uncle Li was quite relieved about Wen Renchi. Hearing what the other party said, he felt relieved.
He just gave a symbolic warning: "I know, young master, that you are a man of your own opinions and will not act recklessly. I'm just worried that you might be deceived if you don't notice."
"Don't worry! I will pay attention!" Wen Renchi repeatedly promised that he would never act aggressively for money.
In fact, Wen Renchi was taught not to have much concept of money since he was a child.
It's just that now that he has become the head of the family, he has to pay attention to the family's finances.
It would be impossible for him to really rack his brains to find ways to make money.
I just wanted to think of a way to see if I could make back Shi Baoning's daily expenses.
Even if there are problems with the wife you marry, you should love her.
You can’t just sit back and rest!
Uncle Li finally paid attention to this matter after seeing and hearing Renchi, and the top priority in his mind was settled.
The old face showed a relieved expression, but he still refused to leave.
Wen Renchi asked strangely: "Uncle Li, is there anything else?"
Uncle Li was asked what he was thinking. His face was a little embarrassed, but he still nodded and said, "There are indeed some things that need to be discussed with you."
"There are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, just say it!" Wen Renchi never regarded Uncle Li as an outsider and spoke very casually.
Uncle Li did not vent his dissatisfaction as quickly as he did just now. Instead, he hesitated for a while before he finally seemed to make up his mind.
First he asked tentatively: "I heard that when Divine Doctor Shen came to see Madam a few days ago, he said that Madam was born prematurely and that she would be unable to get pregnant again because of her health problems?"
Hearing the words, Wen Renchi darkened his eyes and sighed slightly, "Yes! Divine Doctor Shen did say that! After that, I invited several famous doctors in Kyoto and even the imperial doctor. Those people The explanation is worse than that of Divine Doctor Shen!"
Shen Luo just said that it would be difficult to get pregnant again, but some doctors directly asserted that Shi Baoning was in poor health and it was absolutely impossible to get pregnant again!
To say that Wen Renchi is not disappointed at all is definitely impossible!
In this era, who doesn’t want his children to be well-educated and prosperous
But Wen Renchi was more worried about Shi Baoning's body.
Shi Baoning was born weak, but after being nursed back to health by Shen Luo, he gradually returned to normal levels.
This time of premature birth, all the previous efforts were in vain. Even though Shi Baoning looked good now, it was only superficial.
Shen Luo said directly that Shi Baoning seemed to have a short life now. If he took good care of himself, he might be able to get better gradually. If another accident happened, he might not be able to survive it!
These words were venomous and straightforward, not polite at all, but Shi Baoning was so angry that his face turned pale.
If he hadn't been afraid of Shen Luo's medical skills, he would have yelled back.
Is there anyone who talks like this
However, both Shi Baoning and Wen Renchi knew that Shen Luo would not lie about this kind of thing, which meant that Shi Baoning's current health was really in bad shape.
After hearing what Wen Renchi said, Uncle Li was happy that the other party really regarded him as one of his own, but he was also worried on the other hand.
It seems that his master still hasn’t grasped the key to the problem? !
Uncle Li had to remind him in a subtle way: "Logically speaking, the old slave is just a servant and has no right to say such things. But back then, the old general entrusted the young master to the old slave. If the old slave ignored him, then I would be really sorry. The old general’s soul is in heaven!”
Wen Renchi said hurriedly: "Uncle Li, please stop saying that! You are an old man left behind by your father. Even if I don't listen to others, can I still disobey your advice
If you have anything to say, just say it. As long as it makes sense, I will accept it. "
"Then let me tell you straight away!" Uncle Li finally made up his mind and changed his words to a gentler expression.
"As the old saying goes, there are three worst ways of being unfilial: not having a descendant. Young master, you already have a young lady. It's time to find a time to add a grandson to me.
In this way, both children will be safe, and the master will be alive in heaven, so he can rest in peace! "
Wen Renchi sighed helplessly, "I know you want to say that I haven't found a suitable heir for Wen Ren Mansion yet. I have always remembered this, but now that Baoning is in poor health, I really don't dare to let her take risks anymore. !”
The first child almost killed Shi Baoning, not to mention that Shen Luo now asserted that Shi Baoning was unlikely to be pregnant.
Even if it was possible, he wouldn't dare to let Shi Baoning really get pregnant!
"I also know how concerned you are about your wife, young master, but you must not slack off when it comes to the heir."
Uncle Li suggested with a serious expression: "Besides, if it is really difficult for the young lady to get pregnant, why don't you take a good concubine? She doesn't need to be a high-ranking concubine. As long as she has an innocent life and can give birth to a big fat boy for you, that will be fine!"
After all, Uncle Li was just a military commander. He usually looked quite elegant, but when it came to certain things, he was still a bit unscrupulous.
Wen Renchi stared at him and didn't react for a long time.
He subconsciously shook his head and refused! Even before Uncle Li spoke, he had never thought about the option of taking a concubine.
Both his parents and his adoptive parents are standard loving couples.
Although he and Shi Baoning had many conflicts, they still had a basis for their relationship. There was no need for another person to come in and ruin their relationship as a couple.
"No, no, absolutely not!"
Wen Renchi refused repeatedly. No matter how he thought about it, he could not accept the option of taking a concubine.
Seeing Renchi's firm tone, Uncle Li had no intention of forcing the other party, and instead suggested: "Since the young master refuses to take a concubine, why not take a concubine
There are so many maids accompanying the madam, so the old slave should not interfere in this matter, but the madam has not made any move yet. For the sake of the heir, the old slave has to accept this disgrace! "
In the country of Mo, if a dowry maid is somewhat pretty, she will usually be used by her mistress to please her husband.
This is different from the good concubines hired from outside. They are not even called concubines. The contract of sale is still in the hands of their mistress and is just a bed-warming tool.
Commonly known as Tongfang.
Generally speaking, even if such a couple becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son, the son will be adopted. Unless the male master likes her so much that she becomes a concubine, she is not qualified to raise her own children.
What Uncle Li meant was that since Wen Renchi refused to take a concubine, he could just ask the maids in the young lady's room to warm the bed, and there was no need for any status.
As long as a son is born, he will be adopted under the young lady's name.
It’s impossible for the young lady to be pregnant anyway. Isn’t this son born equal to her son, so everything will be fine!
Of course Wen Renchi still shook his head, and the reason was very good, "Uncle Li, that girl Jingzhuang grew up with Baoning. They are like sisters. How can I do it?"
What's more, taking a concubine is betrayal, wouldn't it be true if you take a concubine
It's just that Uncle Li couldn't explain such a reason with his stern face.
When Uncle Li saw that Renchi was unwilling to do this or that, his expression gradually became serious.
Of course, Uncle Li couldn't get angry with Wen Renchi, so he just asked solemnly: "How do you plan to give the Wen Renchi an heir?"
Wen Renchi was speechless.
I heard Uncle Li continue to say in that gloomy tone: "Master! We have been in the Wenren family for several generations. Now that the master and his wife have passed away, you are the only one left in the Wenren family!
If even you can't give the Wen Ren family an heir, then the Wen Ren family will really have no heirs! "
“…”
Wen Renchi opened his mouth, but no words came out.
What he actually wanted to say was, didn't he have a daughter, Wen Renjie
If he doesn't have a son, he can still find a son-in-law for Wen Renjie, and the child's surname will be 'Wen Ren', isn't it the same
But he also knew in his heart that this was different!
In the eyes of many people, having a son-in-law is actually the same as having no descendants.
It was really a desperate move.
Take Shi Junhe back then, for example. He was such a strong and determined person, but he was forced to marry his concubine Kou Lian.
Although it originated from an accident, it also illustrates to a certain extent the importance of having a son.
Fortunately, in the end, Dong Hui gave birth to twins for Shi Junhe, preserving her own reputation and the reputation of the Shi family.
Now the same situation happened to Wen Renchi. He originally thought that he could firmly say "two people for life", but when he was asked to speak, he realized...
How hard it is to say this.
Wen Renchi rubbed his forehead tiredly and sighed again: "Uncle Li, I will think about this matter you mentioned. Don't force me, give me some more time, and I will definitely handle it, okay? "
Uncle Li hurriedly said: "Master, you have misunderstood. I am just reminding you, not forcing you to do anything. It is about the heir of the Wenren Mansion, so you should naturally think it over carefully."
Wen Renchi smiled bitterly, not comforted at all by Uncle Li's words.
He waved his hand, really tired of dealing with it, "You go out first!"
"yes!"
Uncle Li stepped back respectfully.
As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Jingyi who had no time to hide.
Jingyi: "!!!"
Uncle Li: "..."
The two looked at each other for a few seconds. Uncle Li showed no expression at all and closed the door of the study as if nothing had happened.
Then, he walked towards the yard.
Jingyi huddled by the door, watching Uncle Li's leaving figure, her tightly biting lips revealing her nervousness and uncertainty.
After hesitating for a while, she finally caught up quickly, shouting in a low voice: "Uncle Li, Uncle Li, wait for me, wait for me!"
Jingyi jogged for several steps before barely catching up with Uncle Li.
But facing Uncle Li's dark and stern eyes, Jingyi seemed to be mute again, unable to speak.
It was Uncle Li who waited for a while but didn't see her speak, so he asked patiently: "What do you want to say?"
