Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

The gazes of Chunxiang and Dongyue's two servant girls instantly focused on Zhenniang who came from behind, making Zhenniang feel awkward.

When Zhenniang walked up to Guo Ye with her skirts up, she said again: "Master, maybe the old matriarch just got the imperial order from the emperor, and she is really overjoyed. She has been unable to sleep peacefully for a long time. That's why I specially sent her to the servant's house." Find a senior official and let you go over and talk to her."

Zhenniang deliberately spoke louder so that both Chunxiang and Dongyue could hear them.

And with their backs facing the two popular maids in Guo's mansion, they actually winked at Guo Ye playfully.

Guo Ye understood immediately, he dared to say that his old lady sent Zhenniang to rescue him, it was really timely, what a good old lady.

Guo Ye kept praising in his heart, mother, you are definitely a good old lady of China, no, you are definitely a good old lady of Datang!

Guo Ye immediately became more beautiful once he was relieved from the siege. After narrowing his eyes and looking at Chunxiang and Dongyue each, he said with an upright look: "As the so-called filial piety comes first, why don't you go when your mother calls you? You two go back. Tell Mrs. Xiuxiu and Mrs. Zhiru that I will have a good talk with my mother tonight, so I won't go back to my room to rest. You two go now!"

Guo Ye immediately occupied the moral high ground with his filial piety, grandma, see if his two wives who are secretly jealous can't force him, the imposing seven-foot man is sandwiched between two little girls, it's really aggrieved of.

Sure enough, Chunxiang and Dongyue looked at each other, with loss and depression in their eyes.

Afterwards, they bowed to Guo Yeying to say goodbye one after another, and headed back to Wu Xiuxiu and Kang Zhiru's bedrooms.

As soon as the two stinky maids left, Guo Ye smiled happily and said, "I'm relieved, hehe, Zhenniang, you came just in time."

As she said that, she stretched out her hand to grab it, and tightly grasped Zhenniang's soft and boneless little hand, pinching it wantonly.

Zhenniang was startled in her heart, she hastily pulled the catkins out of Guo Ye's generous claws, and said angrily: "Don't do this, high officials, if Mrs. Xiuxiu and Mrs. Zhiru see it, the servants will kill you." There's no denying it."

How could Zhenniang fail to see that since she returned to the Guo Mansion today, the two wives Wu Xiuxiu and Kang Zhiru have been wary and hostile towards her.

And she could clearly feel that the source of all vigilance and hostility was the ambiguous relationship between herself and Guo Ye, which seemed unclear but was actually clear and clear.

Seeing Zhenniang like this, Guo Ye guessed her worry in his heart, so he stopped teasing her, and said: "Well, I'll go to my mother first, Zhenniang, you have been tired all day, you should rest earlier. .”

Zhenniang bowed her head with a groan, and said softly: "Don't be impatient, high officials. Sooner or later, the servant's house will belong to high officials...Huh?"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly found that Guo Yeren had gone far away, seemingly leaving in a hurry without even hearing what she said.

"I'm so pissed off!"

She stamped her little feet on the spot, and after a coquettish sound full of resentment, she left angrily and went back to her room to rest.

……

……

Guo Ye knocked on the door and entered the old lady's room. The old lady was spreading the quilt in the bedroom alone as if she was going to sleep.

Guo Ye withdrew from the inner room, retreated to the outer room separated by a curtain, and said softly, "Mother, didn't you want to talk to me?"

The old lady replied angrily in it: "Mother is not as energetic as you, and she tends to doze off when she is old. Here..."

Swish~!

The curtain was torn open, and the old lady threw out a ball of quilt, which Guo Ye could barely catch.

I only heard the old lady say in it: "My old lady's eyes are dazzled but her heart is still bright. How can your two daughters-in-law be fuel-efficient lamps? If you don't help you untie this sash tonight, you can still sleep peacefully? Especially That girl Zhiru, if you go to sleep with Xiuxiu on the first night after you come back today, that girl will be so jealous that she will only give up if you want to mess up the backyard of our Guo Mansion. Alas, you Oh, you, you have no way to control your wife, but you love to provoke peach blossoms."

"Hey." Guo Ye hugged the quilt for a rare time, and said with a smirk, "Mother is mother. She is old, smart, and cunning, and her heart is as bright as a mirror. I was worried, but your old man sent Zhenniang like rain in time. Here comes the message."

The old lady seemed to have laid down the quilt and her hands didn't move. She suddenly threw a mat from inside and spat, "You'll be laying the floor here tonight, so don't mess with the two wives, you bastard."

"Uh... on the floor?"

Guo Ye took the mat again, and asked foolishly: "Mother, you won't let me sleep on a straw mat on the outside floor tonight?"

"Then what do you want? Pfft..."

The candlestick in the room was blown out suddenly, and the sound of creaking bed boards was heard. Obviously, the old lady had already gone to bed and said softly: "Hurry up and make do with the night here, mother knows that you have business to do tomorrow. Naturally, a man should take care of you." The big things come first, and you can't waste your energy on the women in the backyard. Besides, you are now an official of the imperial court who eats the emperor's food, and you are deeply favored by the emperor to assist His Highness the King of Shu to enter the middle of Shu..."

The old lady chattered for a while, and Guo Ye's ears were itchy, and he repeatedly begged for forgiveness: "Okay, okay, I listen to my mother, I will lay the floor here tonight."

After a while, Guo Ye spread out the straw mat, unfolded half of the quilt and used it to cover his body, and lay down with his clothes on.

The mother and son lived alone on the high bed with soft pillows in the inner room, and the other was sleeping hard on the floor outside, speechless for a while.

At this time, the old lady suddenly called out: "Dalang, what do you think is going on with Xiuxiu and Zhiru? How long have you been married? Why is there no movement in their stomachs? There is an old saying in our country, how can you?" Speaking of which, oh yes, a hen that doesn't lay eggs is not a good hen!"

"Puchi~"

Guo Ye couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and said happily: "Mother, how can you make such a comparison. There is no rush to have a baby, aren't we still young? Don't force it, let's see fate. Fate has come, naturally... "

"You bastard still has a face to smile!"

The old lady spat reproachfully in her words: "How are you still young? You are in your early twenties now, and Xiuxiu and Zhiru are not young anymore. You don't want a child to inherit the incense for the old Guo family, you are worthy of your death Is it your father? Maybe in a few years, if mother collapses and goes down to accompany your father, she won't even be able to hug her grandson..."

As she spoke, the old lady choked up a little.

Guo Ye heard his old lady's words with a crying voice, and immediately panicked and shouted: "Mother, why are you crying again? I promise you, this year I will work hard to create a human being, and I will try to let you hold a grandson next year. No?"

In fact, Guo Ye also felt strange about the fact that Wu Xiuxiu and Kang Zhiru were not pregnant. He had not done Zhou Gong's ceremony with them once or twice. Why did he not win the bid?Because of the backward contraceptive conditions in ancient times, he never took contraceptive measures, and he just let nature take its course.

Just when he was pondering incomprehensibly, the old lady yelled softly again and said: "Stop arguing with mother, haha, I wonder if the two girls, Xiuxiu and Zhiru, can't have children? Mother look at her The bodies of the two are indeed not fertile. Dalang, mother, Zhenniang has a very fertile body. Look at her buttocks, it is probably the embryo of a boy. Otherwise..."

Guo Ye's heart skipped a beat, his chest jumped violently, and he interrupted: "Mother, you mean..."

"Yes, what mother means is that she wants you to take Zhenniang into the house as a concubine. Now that you want to have status, our Guo family is not short of food and drink. It is reasonable to have a concubine. What do you think?"

"Uh..." Guo Ye pretended to be reserved, and hesitated, "But where is Xiuxiu and Zhiru..."

When the old lady heard Guo Ye's words, she immediately spat angrily again: "I said you are a bastard who has no way to control his wife, and even hesitates to take a concubine to inherit the incense. You don't have to worry about this matter, mother has her own opinion. Where Xiuxiu and Zhiru are, their own mothers are the masters."

That's it!

Guo Ye secretly said happily, the old lady has come out, it should be no problem to bring Zhenniang into the house this time, right?

However, he did not express his joy, and still said in an honest tone: "The elder gave me a gift, I dare not resign. Since mother has an idea, then I will obey mother."

"Well, go to sleep, take this matter slowly, your mother will decide for you. Go to sleep!"

"Well, I'm asleep, good night, mother."

……

……

Guo Ye, who was already sleepy, closed his eyes, and fell asleep before he could get excited about Zhenniang who was about to get into the house.

After a night, the old lady woke up early, and woke up Guo Ye who was laying the floor.
