Chapter 186 How can a man be a mistress?
At the beginning, Zhou Yunshu didn't believe that Ji Sheng, who was used to giving orders and killing people decisively, could take care of a good child.
But when he followed Nanny Wang and carefully learned how to take care of the mother and the baby, he wondered if Ji Sheng had been possessed by someone.
There may be such good men in modern times, but in ancient times, men would never take over the care of the mother and child, even if the mother was his wife and the child was his own flesh and blood.
But Ji Sheng did it.
Not only did he do it, he also impressed everyone in the Zhou family.
Li Jialan and Wu Yue came to their mother-in-law and looked at Ji Sheng who had just brought in the bird's nest for Zhou Yunshu. They whispered, "Mom, is this really okay?"
Ji Mingzhu leaned leisurely on the cushion and said, "What's wrong with that? Is there a rule that men can't serve women?"
Li Jialan said, "But they've both divorced, and the King of Wei seems to be completely unconcerned."
Ji Mingzhu put down the tea bowl in her hand and said with a smile: "Even after the divorce, he can still marry into the wife's family. If that is not possible and he cannot leave Shu'er, then he can volunteer to be Shu'er's concubine."
Li Jialan and Wu Yue: "..."
This is the first time I heard that a man can have a mistress.
"Mom, this doesn't work according to etiquette, right?"
Ji Mingzhu looked at his two daughters-in-law who were trapped by etiquette and laws and became stubborn, and continued: "Some so-called etiquette and laws are nothing but shackles used by sour Confucian scholars to trap themselves, and even more so, to trap their wives and daughters."
"This kind of thing exists if you believe in it, and it doesn't exist if you don't believe in it."
"It's not easy for women to live in this world. Since we have the conditions to be willful, we should not tie our own hands and feet."
Ji Mingzhu stood up after saying this, looked at the room where Zhou Yunshu and the others were, and said to Li Jialan and Wu Yue: "Is what Ji Sheng did harmful to our Shu'er?"
Li Jialan and Wu Yue thought about it and shook their heads.
"Yes, since there is no harm, if he is willing to do it, let him do it."
If they tried to stop him, they might be the ones who would suffer. After all, when Ji Sheng got ruthless, he would not even care about his own parents and brothers.
"We understand."
They just felt a little unreal and scared when they saw Ji Sheng suddenly change from his usual unattainable self and take care of Zhou Yunshu and the child personally.
But since their mother-in-law said so, they had nothing to be afraid of. After all, what their mother-in-law said was always right.
In the room, after Zhou Yunshu took the bird's nest from Ji Sheng's hand, he sat next to the children.
During the days after she gave birth, except for the initial period when Nanny Wang slept with her, Ji Sheng had gotten a wooden bed from somewhere recently and slept not far from Zhou Yunshu and the children, so that he could take care of them at any time.
Zhou Yunshu saw everything he did during this period, so she occasionally wondered if she had never really understood him before.
"When will the child be named?"
Ji Sheng looked at the two little ones sleeping side by side in front of him and asked Zhou Yunshu who was lying on the bed.
Zhou Yunshu had already thought of the nicknames for the two little ones before they were born: Pingping and Kangkang.
Perhaps because the two little ones were not born safely in their previous life, Zhou Yunshu only hoped that they would be safe and healthy, and these two nicknames were also taken from this meaning.
"Grandma has chosen the daimyo."
Ji Sheng was not surprised to hear Zhou Yunshu's words, and did not even fight for himself.
"What's your name?"
Zhou Yunshu looked at Ji Sheng who was sitting next to the children, and wondered if he would be angry if she mentioned Pingping and Kangkang's names.
Although, even if he gets angry, it won't change anything.
"Pingping's full name is Zhou Junyi, and Kangkang's full name is Zhou Junze. One mountain, one water, they complement each other."
That’s right, the child she gave birth to would of course have her surname.
In other words, when she took the children away from the Prince of Wei's Palace, she had never thought that the child in her belly would have the surname Ji Sheng, and in any case, she had not registered it with the royal family.
Ji Sheng looked at Zhou Yunshu who unconsciously straightened her back while saying this, nodded silently, and then turned his gaze to the two brothers who were still sleeping soundly in front of him.
Perhaps because I have been taking care of them for too long, the two blood clots in the dream have been replaced by these two exquisite and cute milk balls in front of me.
He stretched out his hand and gently touched the two little hands of the little ones, with a slight smile on his lips, "Jun Yi, Jun Ze, what nice names."
Zhou Yunshu didn't know whether Ji Sheng had forgotten the children's surnames accidentally or had omitted them on purpose, so she added, "It's Zhou Junyi and Zhou Junze."
Ji Sheng looked up with a smile, "I know, it's a good name."
"They have my last name."
Zhou Yunshu looked into Ji Sheng's eyes, still wanting to get a definite answer from him, an answer that would admit that they both belonged to the Zhou family.
"Can."
As long as they can survive, it doesn't matter whose surname they take. They are still their sons no matter what.
He was not that obsessed with his surname, not to mention that his eldest daughter already had his surname.
If they could avoid the bad luck in their dream by taking their mother's surname, he would be willing to do so.
"You are really Ji Sheng, Ji Xuanjun? Right?"
Zhou Yunshu even suspected that Ji Sheng had been stimulated by something, or that he had been reincarnated or traveled through time?
Otherwise, how could they be so accepting of children taking their mother's surname?
Ji Sheng looked at the expression on Zhou Yunshu's face and said with a smile, "Does it seem difficult to understand that I'm being reasonable?"
Zhou Yunshu nodded seriously, because in her impression, Ji Sheng had nothing to do with being reasonable.
"It seems that there are very few things you want that I won't satisfy you."
Zhou Yunshu thought about it and it seemed to be the case, but...
“This is different.”
Surnames and naming rights could cause disputes between couples or even two extended families in modern times, not to mention in their time.
Unless the husband marries a daughter-in-law, his family will not allow their children to take the mother's surname even if the husband dies.
So Ji Sheng was reasonable and made Zhou Yunshu doubt whether he was still himself.
"It's the same here. We are the only family. It doesn't matter what your last name is."
In some ways, Ji Sheng can be said to be a very rebellious person.
He never cared about what others thought, nor what the world thought. He only cared about what he thought and his family.
Therefore, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with a child taking his mother's surname.
Since Ji Sheng said so, Zhou Yunshu was happy that there was one less trouble.
Because Zhou Yunshu gave birth to twins, she had to stay in bed for two months. When she came out of the confinement period, the river was already full of flowers and green willows, and the breeze was gentle.
Everything in Dongchuan had already been prepared. Even Manager Liang, Uncle He and others had settled in Dongchuan for more than three months, waiting for Zhou Yunshu and her family to move in.
After living there for more than half a year, there were more things in the house than they had imagined. Fortunately, they would come back in the future and didn't have to pack up and take everything away.
The Zhou family moved, and He Zizhen and Lu Changfeng, who were studying at the Zhou family primary school, were forced to stop their studies.
On the day the Zhou family left, Lu Changfeng was in a bad mood and did not come to see them off. Only He Zizhen, with red eyes, led the Zhou family out of the city under the leadership of his father.
When Zhou Yunshu and her team's convoy were less than three miles away from the river, they were suddenly chased by fast horses.
