Chapter 689 An Ran scolds Annan (2)
"Zhao Annan, the magistrate of Jian'an county, my minister, is meeting with the princess and concubine!"

After entering the door, Annan saw Anran sitting on the main seat looking at him with a smile on his eyes, and immediately went up to meet him.He saw that An Ran's dress was a little casual, but her facial features were similar to before, but she had grown up and matured a lot, but it was much rounder and more beautiful than before.

An Ran hurriedly said: "Brother, no courtesy, please hurry up!"

Annan honestly finished the ceremony before getting up, but smiled at An Ran.

"Brother, please sit down! Have a cup of tea first!" An Ran helplessly looked at his dusty appearance, his face was covered with sweat, and quickly asked the girl to fetch water for his face.

I haven't seen him for a few years. Although Annan's facial features have not changed much, his skin is tanned black and red. He looks as if he is 30 years old and has become much more mature.

An Nan took the wet kerchief and wiped his face, thanked the maid who served him softly, turned his head and smiled gently at An Ran: "It's been a few years since I've seen you, your empress is going to be a mother."

An Ran covered her mouth with a soft smile and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, my elder brother is about to become a black man." Fortunately, Mr. Yue made a simple version of sunscreen at her request. Although it is very oily, the effect seems to be okay. And Yang Yan's skin color has not changed much.

Annan himself smiled shyly, and said, "I often go out, and that's how I got my sun. Your sister-in-law has always complained about me."

"I haven't seen my sister-in-law for many years." An Ran sighed.This is the only bad thing about this world, transportation is inconvenient, otherwise cousins ​​like them would always see each other once or twice a year, even if they work far away.

Annan smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law often mentions you too."

An Ran nodded, sister-in-law is a good person, but she is too simple, she was often deceived by her aunt.

"By the way, brother, how many children do you have?"

When mentioning children, Annan replied with a happy face: "Five. Three sons and two daughters."

An Ran was surprised: "Brother, you already have five children? My sister-in-law can really have children!"

Annan lowered his head in embarrassment, and said softly: "How can your sister-in-law have so many children? Two of them are concubines."

Concubine?An Ran's complexion changed: "Brother, are you taking a concubine?"

Seeing that An Ran's complexion was a bit ugly, Annan said doubtfully, "Yes, two of them were given by your sister-in-law, and the other was given by Master Zhu, the prefect..."

An Ran was not happy, and snorted coldly: "Sure enough, there is nothing good about men! Why did Master Qian marry his daughter to you, a poor student with no fame? Didn't he expect you to have a conscience in the future? Is your daughter better? If it wasn’t for Mr. Qian’s support, you would be able to become a Jinshi at such a young age? Would you be able to have today? My sister-in-law is gentle and virtuous, what else are you dissatisfied with? You’ve only been out for a few years now? You’ve only taken three concubines? Are you coming out to be an official or looking for women? You only have a monthly salary of a county magistrate, and you can afford so many women and children..."

An Ran's crackling reprimand not only stunned An Nan, but even the maids serving in the hall were frightened by her.

Yulan hurriedly came out to persuade her: "Madam, why are you so angry? Mr. Zhao is your cousin..."

An Ran said angrily: "If he wasn't my eldest brother, I wouldn't bother scolding him! You have also met my sister-in-law, she is such a nice person... Who would have thought that I would meet such a wolf-hearted dog who would avenge his kindness..."

Annan finally understood that his feelings were for his wife's injustice!My sister-in-law has always been partial to her elder brother, but why did she prefer her sister-in-law when she came to An Ran?Oh, what the hell is going on here!
Annan explained helplessly: "Madam, although I have taken a concubine, your sister-in-law will always be my wife, and I will always respect her the most. I will never forget the kindness of my father-in-law. In this life, I will Good for your sister-in-law."

An Ran curled her lips and said: "You have already taken concubines, and you still say you are good to my sister-in-law? Don't you know that if a man takes a concubine, it is equivalent to stabbing a knife in his wife's heart?"

Annan frowned, and said suspiciously: "Isn't concubinage commonplace in the officialdom? Why doesn't your mother know? After your sister-in-law became pregnant, she gave me one of her girls. This is her virtuousness, and they get along well on weekdays." Very good. Mr. Zhu is my Shangfeng, how can I not accept the person he gave? Your sister-in-law was worried, so she gave me another girl. I know she is a little uneasy, and I have told her, concubine She is a concubine, and I can never be compared with her."

An Ran snorted coldly and said: "It's all an excuse! My sister-in-law gave it to you, you don't have to! You can refuse it from Shangfeng. You are not afraid of the shadow, and you have your father-in-law and I behind you. Which one is not as good as you?" Do you dare to give you small shoes to wear?"

Annan was speechless after being refuted by An Ran, and it took a long time before he said, "Your sister-in-law is virtuous, why should I refuse? Did I refuse to give her face? She is pregnant, and I have no servants around me. What would you say about her? Besides, the person Shangfeng gave her was just a girl, and she would be a lowly concubine at home, so what's the point? Why refuse Shangfeng's overtures?"

An Ran almost laughed angrily at him.A girl who doesn't accept money from her wife doesn't mean she doesn't give her face?

Is it unvirtuous for a wife not to take a concubine for her husband when she is pregnant?
Does it matter if there are multiple concubines in the family?
An Ran asked angrily: "I was pregnant, and I didn't take a concubine for the prince. Is it because the whole world is saying that I am not virtuous? Are they saying that I am jealous?"

Unexpectedly, Annan hesitated for a moment, and actually whispered: "There are some such rumors, but not many, so don't take it to heart."

An Ran snorted and said: "Yeah, you also said that I don't need to take it to heart, why can't you tell my sister-in-law not to take those false names to heart? Why can't you take this responsibility for her? "

Annan was surprised: "This, what's the same about this? Madam, you are the world-renowned number one talented woman in the Sui Dynasty. No woman in the world can match it. With your jewels in front of you, no one can match His Royal Highness. This matter is naturally different. ..."

"What's the difference?" An Ran said relentlessly, "I was pregnant at the beginning, and my father said that I would accept a concubine for the crown prince, so I told my father that if the crown prince wants to accept a concubine himself, I have no objection. But if you want I took the initiative to give him a concubine, that is absolutely impossible! Later, the mother concubine also said that she would give the prince a concubine, and I said I have no objection, as long as the prince likes, he can choose whichever he wants. But now you see, which one does the prince want? ?”
