Chapter 207 Leng Xiaoxiao and his concubine go to the northern border

Half a month later, at the Leng family in Beijing, Leng Xiaoxiao locked himself in his room and got drunk, repeating over and over again: "Nothing, nothing. My wife ran away, my son ran away, and my grandson ran away too..."

Leng Xiaoxiao had seven concubines, some given by the head of the family, some by his superiors, some by his colleagues, and some he brought back from brothels. With so many concubines, he naturally had many children and grandchildren. His seven concubines gave him ten sons and eight daughters, and his sons gave birth to sons, so he had twelve grandchildren, which was just like having a house full of descendants. Anything extra was not good, and these illegitimate sons and grandchildren were just heads in his heart. In his heart, he only had Leng Xiaoxu as his son and Leng Yuqin as his grandson, but now, they had quietly left the capital, leaving him alone.

"Wuuuu... Is it wrong for me to work for the family? I am wrong. Tell me, why don't you want me? Wuuuu..." The low and suppressed sobbing sounds coming from the study made people feel pity.

The concubines looked at each other in bewilderment. The youngest among them had been in the Leng family for three years. They had long understood that no matter how confused their master was, he still had a scale in his heart. No matter who it was, no matter how they argued, they could not surpass the lady and the eldest young master. Even the concubine who thought she was his favorite was not allowed to say a bad word about the lady. The more she said, the further he would be pushed away. They thought that the lady would divide the property and they could fight for the greatest benefit with their own abilities, but what was the result?

Alas, they should just be content to be their concubines. This family will still belong to the eldest young master in the future, and no one can get in.

"How about we go and invite the Madam back?" The Seventh Concubine suggested. Anyway, when the Madam was around, she wouldn't interfere with their jealousy. To be honest, the Madam was quite nice to them. Compared with the harsh mistresses of other families, there was no comparison. No one was more generous than their mistress.

"Didn't you hear what the master said? Madam and the others ran away to the northern border. How can we find them?" The third concubine didn't object to Madam's return, but she didn't know where to start.

"Oh, what should we do?" The second concubine hung her head. The group was leaderless and morale was low.

"How about we go to the northern border together? I heard that the Princess of Anxi County built three cities there." The fifth concubine's eyes lit up: "I heard that the Madam and the eldest young master are both teachers there."

"Old Fifth, this is a good suggestion. How about we go to the Madam?" Although the most senior concubine was sent by the head of the Leng family, she felt that she got along well with the Madam.

The fourth and sixth concubines were more cowardly and spoke weakly: "Will the Madam hate us and be unwilling to take us in?"

Wives and concubines have different ways of thinking. I have never heard of anyone abandoning her husband to go and live with his mistress. Isn't that too risky?

"Tsk, do you think that the madam is just like us, jealous?" Little Old Five was quite conscious: "We are just little bastards, and the madam is a big green pine, can she be on the same level as us?"

When everyone heard this, it seemed to make sense.

"Hey, let me tell you, I heard from my eldest uncle's third uncle's second uncle's brother-in-law that the Princess of Anxi County is very amazing. Her school even recruits female students, and her workshop has more workstations for women than men. As long as they have the ability, women can become managers." Little Old Five was mysterious, as if he was talking about some big and incredible secret.

"Really? Come on, tell us more..." The concubines pricked up their ears.

Then the fifth concubine danced with joy, and all the concubines took their places and sat on the floor at the door of the study.

The long-time attendant who was listening in on the conversation burst into tears and said: Master, if you don't come out soon, the concubines in the family will abandon you.

Lord Leng, who was mumbling in his drunken sleep, was unaware that in his dream he had already rushed to the northern border and was warmly welcomed by his beloved wife and eldest son.

Although the head of the Leng family looked down on Leng Xiaoxiao, Leng Xiaoxiao actually won a lot of benefits for the Leng family. Without Leng Xiaoxiao, he would not have been so difficult, but he also lost a great helper. And now, Leng Xiaoxiao began to reflect on himself deeply.

Gu Xixian didn't know that she was about to turn over a large piece of land in the Leng family. She was now busy looking through her memories, and then copying out the knowledge in it one by one, whether it was useful or not, she would collect it first. She had a deep memory of the contents of the nine-year compulsory education, and many things in it could be used as long as they were renamed. She also had some knowledge of higher-level mathematics, physics and chemistry, because her father was a standard master of science. As for the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she was also trained by her master's wife since she was a child. Oh, thinking about it this way, she is really an all-round genius who is good at both literature and martial arts.

She used all her free time to record what she had learned in her previous life, and wrote piles of notes. She had no time to think about any random things. To use a phrase from her previous life, she focused on learning.

That day, she was thinking and taking notes in her own office as usual, when suddenly she heard a loud noise from outside, which made her very curious. This kind of situation had never happened before. In this era, people's respect for teachers and education is not just a literal statement, but is implemented very thoroughly. Everyone has respect engraved in their bones. Therefore, conflicts between teachers and students do not exist.

"Knock knock", there was a knock on the door, and Ning Yi's steady voice came in: "Master, something happened outside, and we are unable to make a decision for the time being. Please come out and take a look."

Gu Xixian opened the door: "What happened?"

Ning Yi had a complicated expression on her face: "Leng Xiaoxiao from the Leng family came to visit with a group of concubines."

"Ah?" She shouldn't know which great god Leng Xiaoxiao was, because she had never heard of him before: "Who is that?"

"He is the husband of Master Wang Jinchuan." Ning Yi explained to her.

Gu Xixian was even more puzzled: "Didn't he and Aunt Wang separate and divide their property?"

"I don't know about this." He is not responsible for the capital city.

"Let's go and take a look." Gu Xixian was wondering whether this was a property dispute or an emotional dispute.

The three-bedroom hall of Wang's house was crowded. Wang had a complicated expression, Leng Xiaoxu looked angry, and opposite them stood a thin man in a gray silk blue robe. He must have come from afar and had not yet washed. Behind him stood a group of women of all ages carrying bags and bundles.

This scene, is it called a confrontation? It didn't seem to be tense. Although I couldn't see the man's expression, I could tell from his slightly hunched back that he was humble.

"Haha, Aunt Wang, are there guests coming to our house?" Gu Xixian squeezed in with a smile under Ning Yi's protection.

Wang's mother and son hurriedly bowed: "Greetings, County Lady. Sorry to bother you."
