Chapter 133: Chapter 89: Lao Lu, do you want a wife?_3
Yu Ningrong couldn’t help but smile at the scene.
To herself, she thought that the Talisman Master Lu was truly handsome. Just one encounter and her niece was behaving like this.
She gently stroked Yun Qianqian’s hair, then said aloud, “Alright, then it’s settled. Later, your Aunt Rong will go ask for you.”
The next day.
Lu Changsheng was working at the Spiritual Talisman Shop when he heard from Zhang Shan that Yu Maocheng was looking for him.
He descended the stairs with some confusion.
“Brother Lu, do you want a wife?”
Yu Maocheng asked directly as soon as he saw Lu Changsheng.
“Hm?”
Lu Changsheng was startled by the question.
What the hell?
He already had so many wives; why was someone asking if he wanted another?
Do I look like I lack wives?
Seeing Lu Changsheng’s surprised expression, Yu Maocheng explained the situation with Yun Qianqian to him.
“Hehe, alright, then send her over,” Lu Changsheng said with a chuckle after hearing Yu Maocheng’s words.
His approach to taking wives and concubines nowadays was naturally not as simple as before.
He had several major requirements in mind.
First, she must possess a Spiritual Root.
Next, he did not want someone with too high of a Cultivation Level.
No good in terms of character? Unwanted.
Profound family background? Unwanted.
Burdened with karma and entanglements? Unwanted.
As for attributes like appearance, figure, gentleness, and understanding, or being alone and helpless, those were bonus points.
The Yun Qianqian whom Yu Maocheng introduced was a perfect match for his criteria.
She possessed an Eighth Grade Spiritual Root, was at the Second Level of Qi Refinement, and had a gentle and understanding personality.
Not only was she without a family background, but her parents had both passed away, leaving her alone.
The only close person she had was Yu Maocheng’s wife, Yu Ningrong.
And Lu Changsheng had also met this Yun Qianqian the day before.
Although he hadn’t looked at her closely, he could tell she was fairly attractive and above average in terms of looks.
For Lu Changsheng, such a woman could naturally be taken as a concubine.
“You agreed just like that?”
Yu Maocheng was startled when Lu Changsheng immediately agreed after he had finished speaking.
“Otherwise?”
Lu Changsheng replied.
“You don’t need to check with your wife first?”
Yu Maocheng expressed his confusion.
“Yun’er is very understanding. She will surely understand and support me in this matter,” Lu Changsheng said.
“Damn it, you’re really infuriating, you know? This is even more painful than killing me!”
Yu Maocheng stood up and left upon hearing these words.
He then said he would bring Yun Qianqian to Lu Changsheng’s house later to settle the matter.
“It seems having a few friends does have its benefits,” Lu Changsheng thought to himself after Yu Maocheng had left.
As night fell,
Lu Changsheng finished work and headed home.
Before Lu Changsheng could bring up Yun Qianqian’s matter, Lu Miaoyun brought it up proactively with him.
Not only had Yu Maocheng discussed it with Lu Changsheng,
Yu Ningrong had also spoken about it with Lu Miaoyun that day.
And Lu Miaoyun had long since come to terms with this aspect of Lu Changsheng’s life.
Knowing her husband always wanted to bring more wives and concubines into the household for a blessing of many children, she naturally agreed immediately to the favorable concubine arriving at their doorstep.
“My dear Yun’er, marrying you is truly the greatest fortune of my life!” Lu Changsheng said.
Just as they were about to have dinner, Bai He came to notify them that Yu Maocheng and his wife had come for a visit.
Lu Changsheng instantly knew they must have come about Yun Qianqian’s matter.
He immediately got up to receive them.
“Brother Yu, Sister-in-law,” Lu Changsheng greeted Yu Maocheng and Yu Ningrong with hands clasped together.
A young girl followed behind the couple.
It was Yun Qianqian.
Looking at Yun Qianqian, he saw that she had dressed up specially for the occasion.
Her black hair was done up in an elaborate coiffure, decorated with a jade butterfly hairpin with tasseled pearls hanging from it.
She wore a lake blue tube-top dress, with a figure that was not spectacular, but was starting to take shape.
Her almond-shaped eyes were clear and animated, betrayed a hint of shyness at this moment.
Her oval-shaped face was sweet and endearing, the kind one could keep looking at without tiring, pleasing to the eye.
“Brother Yu, Sister Rong, you haven’t dined yet, right? You’ve come at the perfect time. Join us for a meal,” Lu Miaoyun also came out, speaking to Yu Maocheng and Yu Ningrong.
Then, turning to the slightly nervous Yun Qianqian with an air of grace and poise, she said, “You must be Qianqian, right?”
“Lu sister,” Yun Qianqian called out.
Although she called Yu Maocheng and Yu Ningrong ‘uncle’ and ‘auntie’, it obviously wasn’t appropriate to call Lu Miaoyun ‘auntie’ now.
After all, the day before, Yu Ningrong had made Lu Changsheng’s situation and their family circumstances clear to her once more.
So her current visit meant that the matter was effectively settled.
“Come on, let’s go inside and have something to eat,” Lu Miaoyun warmly took Yun Qianqian’s hand and invited Yu Maocheng and Yu Ningrong into the house.
Yu Maocheng, witnessing the scene before him, felt as if he were in a magical world.
When the three entered the dining hall and saw Lu Changsheng being surrounded by a group of women, they were even more bewildered.
They knew Lu Changsheng had numerous wives, concubines, and maids.
But seeing the large dining table encircled by more than a dozen women, many of whom were obviously pregnant, presented a sight that was too intense, too staggering.
However, seeing that all the women seemed happy, and the food comprised Spirit Rice, spiritual vegetables, and Demon Beast meat, along with Spiritual Tea to drink, they felt more at ease.
Soon, Yu Maocheng and Yu Ningrong, accompanied by Yun Qianqian, took their seats and ate a few bites, and thus the concubine acceptance was considered settled.
There wasn’t much red tape involved.
They just planned to book two tables at the Jade Meal Pavilion after a couple of days to treat a few neighbors and friends, to make it official.
Lu Miaoyun largely took charge of this event.
It was the first time Lu Changsheng accepted a concubine with the active involvement of his wife, Lu Miaoyun.
Three days later, Yun Qianqian officially crossed the threshold of the house.
With a soft song from a young girl, she formally became one of Lu Changsheng’s concubines.
That year, Lu Changsheng was twenty-four years old.
With five wives, nine concubines, two favored consorts, and fifteen maids.
