Chapter 74 Book Club
"Master, you are so serious. Hongxiu is just a little maid from Master who doesn't know anything.~~~~" Hongxiu said with a red face.
"I am not wrong at all. My Hongxiu is really too smart." Qin Mu said with a smile after kissing Hongxiu's face.
"Master, don't you blame Hongxiu for letting you give the perfume formula to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?" Hongxiu looked at his master with some anxiety and asked.
"How could it be? You are considering me for the master. It's because the master is not considering it enough. The master is not happy yet, so why would you blame you?"
Qin Mu hugged Hongxiu tightly and said, "What a cute girl. She is so sensible at a young age. Qin Mu thinks about herself in her previous life. When she was fifteen years old, she didn't know anything. Compared with Hongxiu, Qin Mu felt blushing.
"Master, you are so nice!" Hongxiu said happily leaning against his master's arms.
"Tomorrow morning, the master will go to Zhennan Prince's Mansion to hand over the perfume production process and formula to them. In this way, even if there is a problem in the future, it has nothing to do with us."
Qin Mu said that after all, once the perfume business is handed over to the Zhennan Prince Mansion, the sales volume will definitely be great, and the production pressure will also become great. He will have to build several large perfume workshops here, and at that time, he will have to recruit many people and it is easy for people to know the perfume formula, which is very unfavorable for him.
If the perfume production process and formula are given to the Zhennan Prince Mansion, first of all, the Zhennan Prince will definitely be very happy and will be more attentive to obtain a good official position for himself.
Secondly, after the production process and formula are handed over to Zhennan Prince Mansion, the perfume production will not be troubled by myself. Zhennan Prince Mansion will definitely take it over, and it will be easier for me to produce this perfume. If my woman needs it, just make some occasionally.
After becoming an official, he would not sue himself for business in the future. Although King Zhennan was very powerful, he also had political enemies in the Qin Dynasty. Those political enemies might not be able to do anything to King Zhennan, but it would be easy to deal with him as a minion.
Qin Mu felt that the first thing he had to do now was to survive in this world, and when he became stronger, he could live a life as he pleased.
...
After handing over the perfume production process and formula to the Zhennan King's Mansion, Zhennan King was very happy and even gave Qin Mu a reward of 100,000 taels of silver. Qin Mu has been helping Zhennan King busy building a perfume workshop these days.
"My husband, you haven't gotten up yet?"
Early in the morning, Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi came to Qin Mu's room and looked at Qin Mu who was holding Hongxiu and Yulan on the bed with a smile. When he saw this scene, he knew that Qin Mu had killed two birds with one stone last night.
"Miss Liu, Miss Li early."
Hongxiu and Yulan got up with red faces and greeted Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi. Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun often came to Qin Mansion these days. Women have been familiar with each other for a few days, so there is nothing too embarrassing. After all, Qin Mu is quite good to his women and has not divided them into different levels, so they all get along like good sisters.
In Qin Mu's psychology, Hongxiu and Yulan's status was the same as Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun, and they were all under their own jurisdiction in the future. The Qin Dynasty realized polygamy, and men had the right to marry multiple women.
However, the "Da Qin Law" has special regulations on the number of righteous wives. Ordinary people can only marry one righteous wife. A scholar or nobleman with fame is allowed to marry three righteous wives. Prince and prince are allowed to marry five righteous wives. As for concubines, there is no specific quantity regulation. However, whether it is an ordinary person, a prince or aristocrat, aristocrat, a wife, or a concubine, the total number of concubines will not exceed 120. You should know that the Book of Rites stipulates: "The emperor sets up six palaces, three ladies, nine concubines, twenty-seven generations of wives and wives, and eighty-one imperial wives." The emperor only has 120 wives and concubines in three palaces and six courtyards. Who dares to surpass him? That would be very disrespectful and would be beheaded.
A legitimate wife, that is, a legitimate wife, can be included in the clan tablet, and the children born to be legitimate, and the legitimate son can inherit the title and inherit most of the family property.
After the concubine dies, she will not be included in the clan tablet. The children born as "universal children" cannot be inherited, but they can be divided into small parts of the family's property. If there is no legitimate son, she can be inherited.
The wife’s family and husband’s family are a kind of in-law relationship, and marrying a wife is a family behavior. Therefore, marrying a wife must be decided by the family. Taking a concubine is basically determined by the husband’s personal likes and dislikes. This is a personal behavior. Therefore, the family will not be responsible for it and will not agree with any connection with the concubine’s family. Therefore, the ancient system of joint seats never included the concubine’s family. This is the truth. Therefore, the husband’s family does not recognize the concubine’s relatives. In the "Law of the Qin Dynasty", the family that does not recognize the concubine’s family is within the nine tribes of the husband’s family.
"Legitimate birth", the children of the main wife (legitimate wife, children born to the second wife), "maligned child", and the non-child (balanced wife, children born to the concubine).
The legitimate wife is the legitimate wife. The son born to the legitimate wife is called the legitimate child. The legitimate son means the legitimate son. The legitimate son is the legitimate branch. The legitimate son is called the legitimate son, and the legitimate child is the big clan, and the small clan is.
In the eyes of the people of the Qin Dynasty, the status of concubines is similar to that of maids with a wife. Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi are both very clear that it is impossible for them to become a wife with their birth. Even if they have a flat wife, they are not their turn. At most, they are the status of a concubine. So they are very smart. They come to the Qin Mansion these days and have a very good relationship with the girls of Hongxiu.
"Is there anything wrong with you here so early?" Qin Mu asked while dressing under the servitude of Hongxiu and Yulan.
"My husband, today is the day of the book club I told you last time?" Liu Rushi said.
"Oh, it turns out it's today, I remembered it."
Qin Mu had some impression that a few days ago, Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun came to invite Qin Mu to attend a book club. After Liu Rushi said that they seemed to be very talented and beautiful women. Many married old talented men would also bring their families to participate.
As for what the book club is called, Qin Mu can't remember it. After all, Qin Mu didn't want to participate in this book club. Now that he is a human being in his two lives, he no longer has much competitive spirit and is indifferent to his eyes. If he participates in that so-called book club, he will definitely not be able to help but take action. In that case, he might offend those talents who want to become famous at the book club. For Qin Mu, who has just come to Jinling and has no foundation, he doesn't want to offend more people. After all, one more friend has more roads, and one more enemy has more walls.
"My husband, let's go!" Li Xiangjun said, holding Qin Mu's hand.
"Can I not go?"
Qin Mu looked depressed. It was so good to be at home. A few beautiful maids were serving him and letting him get stuck at will. Qin Mu was reluctant to attend any book club. That was a time-consuming, laborious and more brain-intensive thing.
"No, you are our man, if you accompany us," Liu Rushi said.
You should know that every year at the book club, there will be a topic of talented men and beautiful women. Now that I and Li Xiangjun have found their own home. If I participate in this book club, there will be so many talented men, and then the rumors about my love with a talented man will affect my relationship with Qin Mu. If Qin Mu doesn't want me anymore, wouldn't he even have no place to cry?
Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun, who grew up in Qingdao, knew very well that sometimes men were very generous and sometimes very scrupulous, especially for their own women, they were even more scrupulous and could not stand any scandals with others.
Although the powerful and rich men in Daqin often send their concubines to each other, they seem to be very distracted by their concubines.
In fact, it is not the case. In the Qin Dynasty, women were the private property of men. Men had the right to deal with their own women. Women had to abide by the "three obediences and four virtues". Men were shameful women and kissed me and mine with other men. Even if it was a scandal, it would be okay to give them to others. After all, the concubine who gave them to others was no longer her woman. The original man would not care about her anymore. If she had to care, it would be her next man who took care of him.
"But I really don't want to go. I'm not a literati, you men, it's so boring to go there." Qin Mu said with a depressed look on his face.
"No, my husband, no matter what, you have to accompany us today. If you don't go, we won't go to the book club."
Li Xiangjun hugged Qin Mu's arm tightly and refused to say that he must have his own man with him today, otherwise he and Liu Rushi would not dare to go. After all, he is different now than before. He didn't have the man he liked before, so he was not afraid of anything. Now it's not possible. He and Sister Liu are both women with men. Although Qin Mu has not helped him and Sister Liu redeem himself, his heart has been handed over to him.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Qin Mu couldn't help but disappoint his two women. No matter how much Qin Mu thought he was from a good man, and a good man could not make his woman unhappy.
"It's great, my husband, let's go now."
Li Xiangjun happily hugged Qin Mu's arm and said, "That's like a fifteen- or six-year-old girl in excitement."
"Now? But I haven't eaten yet?"
These days, Qin Mu has become accustomed to getting up late. Every day, he slept until almost lunch, and the woman in the bed urged her to get up. Now Qin Mu really understands the reason why the ancient kings did not go to court early, and the gentle nest is really comfortable.
No wonder the "Beauty Scheme" has many flaws, which can be rated as the 36 famous strategies in China's history, and it has been tried and tested. I wonder how many heroes fell on this "Beauty Scheme".
