Chapter 122 What does the young master like?
Duke Qin took this statement to heart.
He really didn't mind his son marrying a few women, but the incense of their Duke's Mansion must not be cut off.
Duke Qin and Su had been married for a long time, but they had no children.
Although the two had a good relationship, he later took in two concubines in order to have offspring for the Duke of Qin's mansion.
Both concubines were pregnant, but for some reason, they were unable to keep the children.
Fortunately, Su became pregnant and gave birth to a son. The son grew up healthy and Duke Qin finally felt relieved.
But not long after, Su died of illness.
Later, other concubines also became pregnant, but none of them gave birth.
Once, a fully grown baby girl died right after she was born.
Fortunately, his son Jingyu grew up healthily... Later, because he was too healthy and strong, he joined the military camp early.
However, at that time, Duke Qin had already married Feng, who gave birth to a son for him.
Although he did not have many offspring, at least he had two sons, so the Duke's Mansion would not be cut off by him.
Seeing that he had listened, Feng said softly:
"Jing Yu is a man, and he just got married, so he definitely doesn't understand these things. He has never been interested in women since he was a child."
"But Qing Ning is different. Although she is not from a high-class family, she is smart and sensible, and it does not affect her position as the legal wife. I will find an opportunity in a few days and talk to her in detail."
"A legal wife must have this tolerance. Qing Ning is smart. Once she figures it out, we don't have to worry about it. She will help Jing Yu arrange a concubine."
Duke Qin thought this was a good idea, but he still said:
"They are in a good relationship now, and Qing Ning has done nothing wrong, so you should be gentle and patient with Qing Ning in this matter, and don't be too harsh."
Feng raised her lips, "Well, she is a sensible child. She must know that we are doing this for her and Jing Yu's good."

At daybreak, after having their meal, everyone rushed to the hunting feast.
In fact, all the people sitting here are women.
The men would wear short riding coats and prepare to go hunting with Emperor Minghe.
However, there are a few noble ladies, such as Princess Jiamin, who are of noble status and can naturally participate in the hunting.
At this time, there were two young and handsome men accompanying Emperor Minghe.
One is Lu Jingyu.
The other one, wearing crimson riding clothes, was none other than the third prince, the other son of Emperor Minghe, the sixth prince Qin Xuanlang.
Qin Xuanlang is only nineteen years old this year, and he looks handsome.
It's just because his biological mother was just a palace maid, and he himself was neither good at literature nor martial arts, he only liked to eat, drink, play and do nothing.
Therefore, he has never been regarded as a rival for the crown prince by the Third Prince.
In fact, the Third Prince and Concubine Su had tested Qin Xuanlang before, but it was true that this guy was good at eating, drinking and having fun. There was no one in the whole capital who was more dissolute than him.
Most importantly, this guy is lustful.
The Third Prince was a man who valued beauty. He was well aware of this and after repeated attempts, even exchanging beauties, he realized that his Sixth Brother was not a threat.
Speaking of which, the threat posed by the Sixth Prince to the Third Prince is not even half as great as that posed by Lu Jingyu!
If it were an ordinary time, Emperor Minghe would not have brought this useless son with him, but today was a hunting day, and the other party still had this to show for it.
Most importantly, he no longer has any other adult sons around him...
Following the order from Emperor Minghe, everyone rode their horses towards the hunting ground.
The women sat at the banquet, drinking tea, eating snacks and chatting.
Gu Qingning sat with Feng and others. She asked Banxia to move some account books over to look at. Shen Ruoying suddenly came up to her and looked at the monthly surplus marked on them.
She deliberately said in shock: "Oh my God, sister-in-law, you are too dedicated. You are still busy with the house affairs after going out?"
Feng was chatting with a minister's wife. When she heard this, she frowned and looked over.
Shen Ruoying's eyes were full of pride.
She had already guessed that Feng wanted to take back the housekeeper power. If she could help Feng and take back the power from Gu Qingning, perhaps...
Gu Qingning raised her head and smiled, "This is not a household affair. I asked someone to compare the profits of some shops in the north of the city with those of previous years and found some problems."
Shen Ruoying frowned.
What's the south and north of the city?
She didn't understand, but Feng next to her heard it clearly. After all, her own private shops were in the north of the city!
Feng immediately asked, "What problem did you find? Good or bad?"
Gu Qingning: "It's hard to tell for now, it's a bit complicated, mother, I'll tell you later, okay?"
Feng looked around and realized that there were too many people here and it was indeed not appropriate to talk.
"Okay, let's go back and talk during the lunch break."
"yes."
Shen Ruoying, who was excluded in just a few words: "..."
Fortunately, not long after, several noble ladies came to talk to Feng, and they were asking about the young master's plan to take a concubine.
"Madam, what kind of personality does the young master like in a woman?"
"I think the young master must like gentle types. Look at how well-educated and well-mannered the young master's wife is."
"But maybe you like lively and lovely ones. After all, it would be monotonous to see the same type of person every day."
A group of women were asking around at Feng's place, but their words were meant to belittle Gu Qingning.
How interesting! The daughter of this family hasn't even entered the family yet, but she has already started to look down on Gu Qingning, the legal wife.
Shen Ruoying, who was sitting next to her, had her bad mood swept away.
She looked at Gu Qingning sympathetically, only to find that Gu Qingning was still looking at the account book?
Although Gu Qingning was not paying attention to that side, she heard Feng practicing Tai Chi with those ladies.
He didn't refuse, but he didn't respond either. It was completely different from what he said last night.
Gu Qingning knew that Feng had not given up the idea of letting Lu Jingyu take a concubine.
As expected, after Feng talked to the ladies for a while, and the people who were hunting there would not come back for a while, Feng said to Gu Qingning: "Qingning, I'm tired, come with me to the back room to rest for a while."
Gu Qingning: "Yes."
After the two entered the house, Feng Shi, as expected, slowly spoke: "Qing Ning, the wives of those ladies just now all had noble families, and their daughters were all very beautiful and intelligent."
Gu Qingning: "Although noble ladies may seem good at first glance, their character still needs to be considered, mother, don't you agree?"
Feng: "You don't have to deny it in a hurry..."
Gu Qingning immediately pushed out the account books she had kept, "Mother, other people's affairs are not important, we'll talk about it later. I just looked at the account books and found something, mother, do you want to make a fortune?"
