The Carefree Little Landlord

Fortunate enough to transmigrate, and born into a landlord's family, I will never lack food or clothing in this life, yet I don't want to just drift along. So, Fu Xiaoguan casually did a fe...

Chapter 86: Official Fu Takes a Concubine

Fu Xiaoguan was twisted by Su Mo and flew back.

At this moment, he was sitting in the backyard, wondering whether he needed to make a mask and wear a hat - could it be that he really became a celebrity?

Fu Xiaoguan had many doubts about this. Although he knew that his Dream of the Red Chamber sold very well, otherwise Dong Shulan would not have been so generous as to spend 30,000 taels of silver to buy a house, he also knew that his Water Melody Song was famous, but he did not think it was anything great.

Those girls are crazy!

I just want to go shopping peacefully, is it that serious?

So, he once again retreated to his home, practicing the Pure Yang Heart Sutra and the Quanzhen Thirteen Swords, and this continued until September 18th.

At noon on September 18th, the side door of the Fu Mansion was wide open. Official Fu, wearing a red robe, a red flower, and a red hat, stood in front of the door. There were ten emcees on each side, fifty welcoming guests in front and behind, and countless people beating drums and gongs, waving flags and cheering.

Because five concubines were to be taken in at the same time this time, and each of them had a different birth date, the auspicious day was chosen at the hour of Chen - Fu Daguan meant that these ladies should come in earlier, as there would be so many guests later that he would need to greet them in person. If they came together at a later time, he would not be able to handle the situation.

Fu Xiaoguan was also wearing festive clothes and standing behind his father. He watched everything with great curiosity and found it extremely vivid, so he took a firecracker and lit it.

"boom……!"

There was a loud noise, which scared his father. Fu Xiaoguan was very happy and decided to let Li Yi get some of this thing as well, so that he could play with it during the Spring Festival.

A master of ceremonies stepped forward and shouted, "The time has come... Welcome the bride into the house!"

This is taking a concubine, and according to the rules, concubines can only enter through the side door.

The five big red sedan chairs that had been parked outside were lifted up, and the wedding procession stretched all the way to Xishui Street.

There were huge crowds of people watching the fun, including Yao Xiaoman.

The sounds of suona, gongs and drums were deafening, and there were bursts of firecrackers. The wedding procession, like a long snake, walked slowly on Xishui Street, and then entered through the side door. It took half an incense stick of time for the whole procession to enter.

Yao Xiaoman stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck. Seeing that Fu Xiaoguan was about to enter the mansion, the hydrangea in her hand flew out with a whoosh. Oh, it seemed that it could hit him!

A flash of light flashed across the sky, and the hydrangea broke into two and fell to the ground.

Su Mo drew his sword and split Yao Xiaoman's heart in half.

"Fu Xiaoguan, Fu Xiaoguan, Fu Xiaoguan...!"

The crowd in Xishui Lane surged, and many women squeezed over, calling out "Fu Xiaoguan". As the distance got closer, all kinds of hydrangeas were thrown over. Su Mo flew into the air, and his sword flew, cutting them all down.

No, isn’t it Mr. Fu who is taking a concubine today? Why are these women calling Mr. Fu what they are doing?

The crowd was a little confused, watching those women rush out of the crowd and throw themselves towards Fu Xiaoguan without hesitation. Is this... is this guy so charming?

The three great talents of Linjiang were also here. They stared in amazement and suddenly felt that life had no meaning.

Fu Xiaoguan has now become their nightmare. No matter what the occasion, as long as Fu Xiaoguan is there, it seems that they have nothing to do - Yu Yunqi shook his head and left, Tang Shuyu sighed and left, but Liu Jingxing did not leave. He walked towards Yao Xiaoman.

However, from beginning to end, Yao Xiaoman didn't even look at him, so he had no choice but to walk away dejectedly.

Faced with such a scene, Fu Xiaoguan hurriedly ran into the side door. The door was closed and there were several guards standing at the door.

The south courtyard of the Fu Mansion has three courtyards built in the shape of a Chinese character "品". As the Fu Mansion has few people, this place has been empty.

It has now been cleaned up and turned into the residence of the five concubines of Mr. Fu.

The sedan chairs are now parked in this courtyard, and the five brides have been led into their respective rooms.

After running in and greeting everyone one by one, Officer Fu went to the main entrance of the hall.

Fu Xiaoguan looked on in a daze, not knowing how many people had come. The various gifts sent filled several rooms. The banquet lasted from the end of Si hour to the beginning of Hai hour - in other words, the banquet lasted from morning to night until the last group of people left.

Yao County Magistrate Yu Lian and Prefect Liu Bingzhong arrived at night and stayed until the end.

Fu Xiaoguan looked tired even though he hadn't done anything. He felt sorry for his father. Fu Daguan, on the other hand, had been working non-stop. It seemed he was worrying too much. So he simply went back to his own backyard, which was a little quieter and more comfortable.

At this moment, Liu Bingzhong was chatting and laughing with Fu Daguan, accompanied by Yu Lian and Liu Sanye.

"Your Majesty has instructed me to supervise your affairs. The first step has finally been completed. On such a beautiful day, we won't delay your good fortune... Where's my dear brother? Why can't I see him?"

Official Fu said cheerfully, "My son isn't used to such occasions and hasn't shown up. I'll ask him to come to your house tomorrow to see you."

"Okay, I'll wait for him at home tomorrow morning."

Fu Daguan did not go to the South Courtyard, but came to the backyard, which surprised Fu Xiaoguan.

Mr. Fu sat down on the chair. At this moment, Mr. Fu could see that his father looked very tired.

"Xiu'er, go and bring the ginseng soup over."

"Son... this job is tiring!"

Fu Xiaoguan laughed and thought that you would probably be even more tired later.

"This is also a big thing in life. We have already dealt with it. The happy days have just begun. Dad, you have to drink more ginseng soup."

As Fu drank the ginseng soup, he recalled Liu Bingzhong's words and said, "Zhizhou Liu wants you to meet him at his house tomorrow morning."

"What's the matter?"

"How should I know? You're back now, so you'll find out tomorrow when you meet him... Don't go empty-handed, he's the prefect."

Fu Xiaoguan nodded, thinking that based on the mining document that Liu Bingzhong had issued for him, he should pay a visit, so he kept this in mind.

"Aren't you going to tell me the names of these women?"

"Oh, I don't remember exactly. Come to the front hall tomorrow morning for breakfast, and then you can get to know them one by one."

“…”

Fu Xiaoguan felt that his father was being too perfunctory about this matter, so he had to remind him again: "Dad, this is the emperor's decree. You must remember that before August 15th of next year, I must have five brothers and sisters. Otherwise, if the emperor remembers this and wants to investigate, you will lose your head if you fail to complete this task!"

After drinking the ginseng soup, Mr. Fu lay back down on the chair, gazing at the stars and the moon in the dark night sky. His small eyes on his fat face looked a little dazed.

"Eleven years ago today, it rained in Nanjing, the capital. The rain wasn't heavy, but it was dense. A mist rose over the Qinhuai River. Your mother and I held an umbrella and went to the Confucius Temple. There was a jujube tree in the temple, and the jujubes on the tree were large and sweet."

Fu Xiaoguan waited for Fu Daguan to continue, but when he didn't, he asked, "And then?"

Officer Fu stood up, put his hands behind his back and walked out, "I want to try it again."
