Chapter 192 191. Can this medicine also make a man pregnant? (Mei Luo)
"oh……?"
Meng Luo nodded, not quite understanding. After thinking for a while, he didn't realize what it meant. "But, we can't have children anyway. You're a brother and I'm a man. Even if you can give birth, I can't."
"Could it be possible that this medicine can also help men get pregnant?"
"……cannot."
"oh……"
Meng Luo nodded again, not quite understanding, and muttered softly, "It seems that there is no difference between drinking and not drinking... It can also maintain the figure and voice, which is pretty good."
“…”
Mei Yuqing stared at him in silence, a little speechless. After a while, she whispered, "Have you ever considered that I'm not unwilling to be down there, but...I'm deliberately saying I'm unwilling to do so in order to hide my inability to have children?"
"ah?"
Meng Luo looked bewildered and scratched his head. "Is that so? I thought you thought I was too short and didn't know anything, so you didn't like being on top of me... I've only seen picture books."
The latter part was a little whispered, "And yours is bigger than mine, and your fingers are longer. I quite like it."
Meng Luo's face was flushed, his eyes were wandering, and he was a little shy and didn't dare to look at Mei and Qing.
“…”
When Mei Yuqing saw him like this, her beautiful face turned slightly red and her long eyelashes drooped.
He is aloof and arrogant in nature.
But he cherished his life, and in order to survive, he had long ago learned how to bend and flatter, pretending to play those tricks, just waiting for the right price.
The theater is a place where people are eaten.
Those who were not good-looking, had bad voices, were not pretty enough, or were not good at martial arts were eliminated. They were either sold as domestic slaves, sold to brothels, or abandoned on the streets.
He was sold to a theater by his parents when he was five years old. He was not the best looking, but he had a clear voice and was able to endure hardships. He worked harder than anyone else in the four skills and five methods - singing, reciting, acting, fighting, hand, eye, body and footwork.
He wants to make it through.
He wanted to be noticed and bought.
He didn't want to waste his life in that huge yet narrow theater.
He is no longer young. He debuted on stage at the age of fifteen and became famous at sixteen. He is twenty-five years old this year.
He was the mainstay of the theater for ten years and made money for the theater for ten years. The best years of his life were trapped in the theater. The theater treated him as a cash cow and refused to let him go.
But with newcomers and blooming flowers coming one after another, the theater now has enough stages to replace his. He has lost his fame in the capital and was plotted to leave with the stage. Sooner or later, he will be abandoned by the theater.
——Or they are bought and played with at will, and finally abandoned.
Mei and Qing have seen too much.
The sister who treated him best and whom he met in the theater was bought by a merchant as a concubine when he was at the peak of his fame. However, because she was drugged when she was young and became infertile, she was eventually beaten to death in a deep courtyard.
A good friend of his contemporary was given to a high-ranking official by the theater owner because of his pretty face. He was also favored and became famous for a while. Everyone in the theater envied him, but he ended up dying on the street without even a piece of clothing left.
The so-called love is the worthless thing. Those sweet words can be said to you today, and can be said to others tomorrow. He can ignore others for you today, and will abandon you like a worn-out shoe tomorrow.
But when he was down but not desperate, he met Meng Luo.
Saying I like you might be a bit too much, but saying I’m not moved is impossible.
It was the first time he had seen such a simple and enthusiastic person. He was the first to come to the opera every day, and would come backstage after the opera was over to give him flowers, gold, silver and jewelry.
If he accepted it, Mengluo would smile at him foolishly. If he refused, Mengluo would ask in frustration and confusion, "Why? Don't you like it? Then what do you like? I'll buy it for you tomorrow, okay?"
Mei Yuqing doesn't have any hobbies. He just wants to survive and live better than ordinary people.
Mengluo is his boat that can take him away from the theater. He pretends to be noble and tries his best to accept and refuse her, just to hold on to Mengluo tightly.
Just as Lei Li said, Mengluo is a person who is easily deceived and easily gives his true heart.
Although he is a kid from a wealthy family, he does not have the arrogance of a rich kid. He is like honey that grew up in a sugar jar. His whole body exudes an innocent sweetness, and he thinks that everyone in the world is so pure.
As expected.
Mei Yuqing succeeded.
Meng Luo helped him redeem his freedom and provided him with fine clothes and food, even returning his indenture contract. He did not use any coercion or threats, but just came to him happily every day with a smiling face and holding some new things he had found to give them to him.
Seeing him smile, she was as happy as a fool. Seeing him frown, she would nervously and anxiously ask him, "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong? Or is the food today not to your liking?"
"Want to go out for a walk? I know an interesting place..."
But Mei and Qing are always cold and indifferent.
He wanted to accept Mengluo, coax him into a fool who was devoted to him, take away all his money, and then find an opportunity to run away with the silver.
But at the same time, he felt sorry for Meng Luo and had let her down, so he wanted to refuse her and leave, but he was hesitant.
It's undeniable.
He was a little bit moved by Mengluo.
But he couldn't have children.
He could not enter the Meng family with dignity, nor could he have a place in the Meng family with his children. The most likely possibility was that he was a mistress, or a relatively good concubine, relying on the mistress of the house and the Meng family all day long, and living on the favor of Meng Luo.
That's so hopeless.
Day after day, there is no end in sight, and then there is an end in sight.
So, Mei Yuqing deliberately made things difficult for Meng Luo, hoping that Meng Luo would give up.
He said Mengluo was too short and he didn't like her. Mengluo started crying and ran away crying. The next day, she still came to find him happily.
He said he didn't want to be on the bottom, and if Meng Luo really liked him, he should get on top. Meng Luo was hesitant and tangled, and finally lay down under him with a red face, whispering to him to be gentler, which was his first time.
——What surprised Mei and Qing the most was that Mengluo didn’t even have a maid in his room.
——Although it was also the first time for Mei and Qing.
He said he didn't want to be a concubine or a mistress, so Mengluo put on a puzzled face and said, "Of course. I can't marry someone else and then you. What kind of person would I be then?"
"Leilidu only has one husband."
Mei Yuqing was very puzzled when he heard this. In what era can men marry multiple husbands? Or is it also popular among men to marry their husbands?
Later, Mei Yuqing found out that Lei Li was indeed a boy, but he was very tough. His husband married him into the family, and Lei Li had the final say in the family.
This made Mei Yuqing surprised and secretly envious.
very nice.
He thought it was great to be able to control his own life.
Although he and Mengluo are getting along well now, but...
"But I'm always afraid..."
Mei Yuqing paused, lowered her eyes and whispered, "I'm afraid that if you knew, you'd end up like my sister. After all, we can't have children."
No matter whether Mei Yuqing is the superior or the inferior, they cannot have their own children, but if Mengluo wants, he can have children with another woman at any time.
Nowadays, there are many poor families who cannot afford to raise children, and there are also many boys and girls who are bought and sold at will. Even the relatively more valuable men who are said to be able to carry on the family line can be bought and sold to wealthy families as slaves. What's wrong with marrying a boy or girl to have children?
You don’t even have to marry.
With ten, twenty, or even one hundred taels of silver, you can "buy" a biological child by borrowing your belly.
Wife.
Mengluo may not know about this kind of thing, but Mei and Qing have seen it many times.
The mistress of a wealthy family was unable to have children for one reason or another, and the poor family with many children could not afford to raise them, so they "lent" their wives to the wealthy family for childbearing. If they gave birth to a boy, they would get dozens or hundreds of taels of silver, but if they gave birth to a boy or a girl, they would get less money.
Mei and Qing were unwilling.
He didn't want Mengluo to be intimate with other men's women, nor did he want to see him have children with others, but he certainly couldn't persuade Mengluo. In this relationship, he was the passive and disadvantaged one.
He is a brother.
His thinking and vision were always limited to his gender. If he had not been unable to have children, he might have hooked up with a wealthy businessman a few years ago, resigned himself to his fate of marrying and having children, and then died in the mansion.
Before that—
Before Lei Li said those words to him, Mei Yuqing was even ashamed to talk to Meng Luo about these things: his past, his worries, and his thoughts.
Perhaps this would make Meng Luo feel more sympathetic towards him now, but he always suspected that these things, these sweet words and affection, would become the sharpest knife stabbing his chest one day in the future.
But what if…
He really likes Monroe...
Then he should tell Mengluo all this, let him know what he is thinking, and let him know that he really likes him, right?
Mei Yuqingwei raised her eyelashes, her eyes were as cold as ever, but her voice was light and light, revealing a hint of nervousness.
"...Now, what do you think?"
"ah……?"
Meng Luo's head was a little dizzy now. He had taken in too much information at once and couldn't make sense of it. After thinking about it again and again, he suddenly realized it and asked worriedly,
"Is this medicine harmful to your health?"
"……What?"
Mei Yuqing was also slightly startled by the question, and then realized what he said,
"It's very harmful to my health. I might... I don't know if I can live past fifty. No one in the theater who drank the drug lived past fifty."
But he wasn't sure whether he died early because the medicine was too harmful to his body, or because he didn't live a good life.
The theater didn't keep idlers; if they couldn't make money, they would be kicked out by the theater owner. Most of those who were kicked out died soon after, and Mei Yuqing didn't know about those who had been redeemed and sold.
"What?!"
Meng Luo stood up suddenly, anxiously grabbed Mei Yuqing's hand and left, wanting to drag him to see a doctor. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? This is such a serious matter. Have you seen a doctor? What did the doctor say?"
"No, no, the doctors in the county town are not good enough."
"Let's go to Zhongchuan. My father knows an old imperial physician who retired from the palace. He's amazing at treating illnesses. Let's go and treat him!"
