Since my series is Chinese novel, so I will also give you ‘red envelope’!
There will be an update for all my series for today, and also it’s a double update. ♥️♥️
With this idea in mind, Yu Yan hoped that his sister could marry a good man, but at the same time, he delayed handing the booklet to his sister.
“But what if I can’t have children? When he is forty years old, do I have to watch him welcome the new woman with magnanimity and tolerance at an old age?”
Ah Wu scoffed at the saying that a man can only take a concubine if he is over 40 and has no children. She didn’t know what other times were like. From what she had seen and heard in the Li Dynasty, this saying was more like a fig leaf for the literati.
The personal maids who served the master’s side and the prostitutes who were favored by her husband outside were not considered concubines and had no qualifications to have children.
However, for women who really loved their husbands, it was still a sharp knife stabbing in their hearts.
But for this era, it was extremely kind for a man not to take a concubine and not let other women have children to threaten the status of the first wife and legitimate children.
How could it be fair to women in this era?
Even the noble princess could not stop the prince consort from occasionally favoring a maid. As long as she was not given a name and a bowl of contraceptive soup was poured after each visit, it was a sign of respect for the princess.
Ah Wu didn’t know where such an idea came from in her mind. Anyway, she would never accept sharing her husband with another woman.
Her idea, in the eyes of outsiders, was probably a rebellion. Even her parents who loved her very much would not understand her idea.
Jealousy is one of the seven reasons for divorce.
But Ah Wu really didn’t want to get married. All her energy was on the man in front of her. Once she got married, she would be subject to more restrictions.
“He dares!”
A hint of gloom flashed in Yu Yan’s eyes.
If the other party really dared to do that, he would let him know what it was like to be a eunuch.
But on second thought, if that time really comes, even if the unfaithful man becomes a eunuch, his sister will be brokenhearted physically and mentally.
“I don’t want to get married because I can never find another person who loves me like Brother!”
Ah Wu raised her head, tiptoed, and hugged the person in front of her with both hands.
Yu Yan’s heart trembled.
Over the years, he had obviously become accustomed to hearing Xiao Wu call him brother, but this time this brother seemed different, as if the truth he had tried so hard to hide had been discovered by Xiao Wu.
When she called her brother, was she calling Yan Yu or Yu Yan?
He wanted to shrink back again. Maybe letting himself get close to his sister all these years was a mistake from the beginning.
“Nonsense!”
Yu Yan frowned and pushed away his sister who was hugging him, “It’s getting late. You should go back too.”
After that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
“This is my newly made medicine. It has a very good painkiller effect. Your old injuries will relapse when it rains. Take a pill and it will be much better.”
Ah Wu did not force him to admit his identity, but she just handed him a medicine bottle when he left.
She accidentally saw a poppy field in the palace that was tended by special personnel.
These pills were the result of her many improvements. The painkiller effect was excellent and the addiction was kept to a minimum.
As long as they were not taken in large quantities, they would cause almost no harm to the body.
Ah Wu had seen his brother’s knees so painful that he could hardly walk on a rainy day, so she put a lot of thought into refining this batch of painkiller pills.
All the medical skills she had not abandoned over the years were almost all used to regulate her brother’s body.
Ah Wu felt that this might also be the ultimate goal of her medical studies.
“But you can’t take more of this pill. One pill at a time, no more than two pills a day.”
Yu Yan looked at the pills handed over by his sister and subconsciously thought of Changshou Powder, which Emperor Qian and Yan Zhongying became more and more obsessed with.
That thing claimed by Taoists to have longevity effects also had painkiller effects, but he knew that it was not a good thing.
Yu Yan couldn’t help but frown.
He naturally didn’t think that his sister would harm him. Since she gave this thing to him, she must have made sure that the analgesic pills were harmless to the body.
But where did her sister get the medicinal materials? Had she been somewhere she shouldn’t have been?
Thinking of this, the little awkwardness just now seemed not to be important anymore.
