As he said that, he waved his hand and said, "Wuyang, call A Shu and the others to see if Zhang Ge, Wang Lu'an, Sun Zhou and Song Yuan are still in the academy. If they are still there, please ask them to have a drink together."

Chen Kang himself felt that taking a concubine was not glorious because he was educated by modern ideas, but in the eyes of ordinary Ming people, this is indeed a good thing worth a drink.

Chen Kang nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then go and invite him."

Liu Shu stood at the door, looking at Chen Kang's shy look, and couldn't help but smile softly, and returned: "Yes, young master."

Chen Kang sat down and asked, "I wonder if there are any taboos in this concubine's ceremony?"

Wang Lucao said: "No."

Chen Kang was a little surprised and asked, "I heard from others that some women cannot be taken as concubines, and there is nothing that cannot be taken as a concubine by their wife or parents' consent."

Jiang Liuyu waved his hand and said, "The people's laws have a saying, first, parents agree; second, wife agree; third, perform the ceremony and hold a wedding. First, give a small amount of property to the concubine's house, which is to "take the concubine's money". Then, a green sedan chair is equipped with a concubine, enter the house through the side door or corner door, and does not worship the heaven and earth, and parents only kowtow to the official's house to get tea. And they must pass the official household registration to take the concubine."

Chen Kang hesitated a little and said, "I haven't married a real wife yet. If this happens, wouldn't it be a violation of the law to take a concubine privately?"

Jiang Liuyan smiled and said, "That's all about the civil law. If the officials do not pursue the people, it is not illegal. Moreover, a man takes concubines for a long time. Not to mention you are a scholar, you are an ordinary gentry and local tyrant. If anyone has few concubines, then he will be ridiculed when he goes out."

He turned to look at Wang Lucao and smiled and said, "Let me tell you, this is the custom of the people, so the government will not care about such trivial matters as you, so Wang Dacai said, "No."

Chen Kang suddenly felt a little happy at this moment. It feels really good to live in this era.

He smiled and said, "Ancient men are truly blessed."

Jiang Liuqi asked suspiciously, "What?"

Chen Kang waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's just emotion."

Jiang Liuyu smiled softly and said, "You should stop mother-in-law and mother."

Chen Kanglei asked a little embarrassedly: "Brother, there is something I want to ask, but I find it difficult to talk about."

Wang Lucao smiled and said, "But it's okay."

Chen Kanggong bowed and said, "Well... Lingzun Lingtang, why did he settle down in Runing Mansion?"

Wang Lucao smiled and said, "So this is the case."

He paused slightly and then said, "The Taicang Wang family's family is a noble family, and his grandfather is from a poor family. Although his official position is not small, the family always believes that he has been an official for three generations and knew how to dress and eat. Therefore, he did not agree with this marriage at the beginning. In a fit of anger, his father stayed away from his family and went to his mother's hometown to settle down and settle down, and decided not to enter the official career."

Chen Kang sighed and said, "I finally understand this tortuous past."

Wang Lucao smiled and said, "Haha, it's also sad. If it weren't for your study tour with you this time, I wouldn't know when I would have the opportunity to go to Taicang and worship the family ancestral hall."

Jiang Liuyu said to himself: "After three years of official career, I learned to dress and eat. This sentence is meaningful."

Chen Kang nodded and said in agreement: "Ordinary people only know how to wear clothes and fill their stomachs. It is indeed not easy to go from poor families to wealthy families, from wealthy families to noble families."

In fact, fundamentally speaking, Wang Lucao, Jiang Liuyu, and Chen Kang are true portrayals of aristocratic families, wealthy families and poor families.

The prejudice between the times and the world is not meaningless.

The aristocratic families with strict taboos will definitely look down on young boys like Chen Kang. No matter how hard he works, he will not be able to climb such a peak.

If Wang Yan had not had such an experience, he would not have allowed his children to be with Chen Kang, and would not have been willing to give Chen Kang a channel to rise.

I remembered the first time I went to Wang Lucao's house and saw the over-the-counter beam in his house, and I still didn't understand it. To this day, he could understand Wang Yan's mentality.

Speaking of this, no one will continue to talk about it in detail.

Chen Kang smiled relievedly and said, "It is not easy for the three of us to be called brothers and fellow Taoists to break the family's view."

Wang Lucao glanced at the two of them sideways and chuckled, "Hmph, since you understand that it is hard to come by, you must know how to cherish it."

"Puff" Chen Kang couldn't help but laughed and said, "I'm a straight man with steel, even straighter than steel bars, and I'd rather break than bend."

"What are you talking about?" the two asked in unison.

Chen Kang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Go to my house to drink tonight. No one is allowed to be drunk until dawn!"

"Hahaha!"

Laughing came from outside the door, and with the laughter, classmates rushed in.

Song Yuan laughed and said, "Chen San, I heard you want to take a concubine!"

Zhang Ge said: "Boy, you finally got it done!"

Wang Luan bowed and said, "Chen San, come to my house another day and talk to your sister-in-law. It is normal to take a concubine, so let her take a concubine for me."

Sun Zhou pushed him and smiled and said, "Mrs. Sister-in-law has a hot temper. You want Chen San to come in and out horizontally!"

Taking a concubine is a trivial matter, but these guys are stuck in the academy all day long and have a rare excuse to join in the fun, so they followed Chen Kang home to celebrate.

The men chatted in the front hall, drinking the good wine sent by the Song family, eating fresh seasonal fruits, and setting off firecrackers, a green sedan chair entered the courtyard from the small door on the corner of the street.

When the peach blossoms are just blooming, the willow trees in the city have only pulled out tender yellow branches. Zhao Wanxi crossed the brazier and gave a big gift, and finally got started.

The Shen family’s parents and sisters were so happy that they couldn’t stop talking. After years of getting along, they had long regarded Zhao Wanxi as a family member. Now they finally gave this miserable woman like drifting duckweed to a home. Although she was just a concubine, she already had this family as a support.

Chen Ning held a wooden box and handed it to Zhao Wanxi, and said with a smile: "You don't have a family, but etiquette must not be missing. These things are our family's wishes. You keep them as your own body, and you will have a expense every month in the future."

Zhao Wanxi took the box with both hands, and a heavy gift. She cried and thanked again: "My sister has helped me embroider this wedding dress. Jiu Niang is already grateful, so why dare to hope?"

Chen Wang pushed his hand and pressed the box on her hand, saying, "Don't be polite, Jiu Niang, you will have a family in the future, we are all family, why would you like to thank me? As long as you take good care of San'er, that's all."

Zhao Wanxi said, "Don't worry, Jiu Niang will definitely serve you and the master and the third master. In the future, the third master will have a wife, Jiu Niang will also serve you for life, never surpass it, and will never be able to do it."
