Chapter 4 The Concubine
After eight o'clock in the evening, it is the time when the lights of Wanjia are bright.
On the rooftop, Wang Jinglu was wearing a school uniform shirt and a long floral pleated skirt, lying comfortably on the one-meter-high protective wall, looking at the buildings in the distance, the lit windows, and the shadows downstairs. The trees, and the traffic in the gaps between the buildings in the distance.
thump thump.
When Li Qian came out of the corridor, she happened to turn her head.
Neither of them spoke, Wang Jinglu was still lying on the protective wall, looking back at everything near and far, while Li Qian walked over and followed her example to lie on the protective wall.
More than a minute passed, and Li Qian was trying to find something to say, when suddenly, there was a crash on the fifth floor opposite.
"I can't live through this day!"
"That's okay!"
boom!
Crash!
Li Qian immediately became excited, his eyes widened, and he scanned back and forth on the fifth floor, "Damn, this is about to start a fight!"
Wang Jinglu kicked him lightly and hard, with a look of dumbfounding on his face, "Why do you gloat so much when people quarrel!"
The buildings in Shengshi Garden are all six floors, and they stand on the roof, which is equivalent to the seventh floor. They look at the opposite fifth floor from a distance of about 20 meters, unless the young couple stand by the window and fight like last time , otherwise it is really not easy to see.
Wang Jinglu kicked him again, this time with stronger force than last time.
Not to mention, even though the opponent was throwing pots and bowls, it was over with just those two strokes.
After waiting for half a minute before there was any further movement, Li Qian sighed in disappointment and said, "I didn't say anything, this must be kissing again! Oh, it's a pity that I can't see the butt this time..."
Wang Jinglu kicked it hard.
Li Qian finally turned his head to look at her, and she also pouted at Li Qian.
The two just stared at each other for a long time.
Despite the thick glasses, her eyes are still so beautiful, just like the eyes of a deer, big and bright, at first glance, they are very pure, ignorant, and painful.
Suddenly, the curtains on the fifth floor across the street closed with a hiss.
Li Qian turned his head to look, then turned back and continued to stare at Wang Jinglu.
Wang Jinglu didn't even blink, and said, "Why do you say so many weird things? Especially today, in class, in front of so many people, and in front of Teacher Qi, they made jokes all day long. I am ashamed!"
Li Qian said: "By the way, I didn't seem to hear you playing the piano before dinner?"
Wang Jinglu said: "The two of us are not in a relationship, so don't talk nonsense about me in the future, it's embarrassing, do you know that?"
Li Qian said: "Is the song you practiced recently called "The Beauty with the Flaxen Hair"?"
Wang Jinglu pursed her lips and stared at him fiercely, couldn't help but kicked him again, then said angrily: "It's "The Girl with Flaxen Hair"!" Accented.
Then the conversation was interrupted, and the two of them turned and leaned on the protective wall at the same time in a tacit understanding, looking into the distance.
After a long while, Wang Jinglu suddenly said: "My sister told me to go to the capital after the holiday, and she will go through the transfer procedures for me, and let me study in the third year of high school in the capital, so that I can wholeheartedly prepare for the Beijing Film Academy. Entrance Exam."
After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Li Qian, and said seriously: "It's about to be the third year of high school, and you must study hard, do you know that? If you continue like this, I'm afraid you won't even be able to pass the public university entrance examination."
Li Qian replied nonchalantly: "I guarantee that I will pass the exam! I will make a small effort to prepare for this month's exam, and I will get into the top 30 in the class first, so that you will not keep talking about me." However, everything else is easy to say, but Russian is a bit of a headache for me, and I don't have that much trouble if you ask me to speak Japanese..."
Wang Jinglu pursed her lips for a moment, then slowly relaxed, her mood was inexplicably low, and she whispered, "Last summer, you told me to rest assured that you would be admitted to the capital! I know you like to play, but I don't ask too much. Ah, as long as you are admitted to the capital city, it’s good to be a public university. You can study hard for a year, okay? I’ve heard people say that as long as you enter a university, you will be able to relax a lot immediately, even if you Let's play again, okay?"
Li Qian smiled, but still didn't care, "It's not that hard, I still say the same thing now, don't worry, I'm going to be admitted to Shuntianfu, and it must be a prestigious university!"
Hearing this, Wang Jinglu gave him a serious look, didn't say anything, but sighed in her heart.
Instead, Li Qian turned his head and looked at her playfully.
Wang Jinglu also turned her head and blinked her eyes, she was as ignorant, ignorant and pure as ever.
Li Qian reached out to take off her glasses and looked at her.
It should be said that although Wang Jinglu wearing glasses is definitely a little beauty, she is definitely not on the same level as her without glasses!
Especially because of myopia, once she took off her glasses, she would narrow her eyes slightly when looking at something, which instead made her look a little more charming. And when she stopped squinting, those clear eyes would show a charming daze because of the temporary loss of focus... At that moment, her appearance could immediately be raised by three to five points, almost Blast!
At this moment, without the protection of the glasses, Wang Jinglu squinted subconsciously, feeling a little flustered.
Especially, don't look at the half-smile on Li Qian's face, but at this moment his eyes are sharp and frighteningly bright.
"I said, do you like me and want to marry me?" he said.
Wang Jinglu turned her eyes away in a panic, pursed her lips, and then raised her hands to tuck a few strands of hair that had been blown by the wind behind her ears, then turned her head and gave Li Qian a look, kicked him, and said with disdain : "Smelly!"
Turning her head and giving him a sideways glance, she decisively pulled out her weapon, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll call my sister later."
Li Qian directly raised his hands in surrender.
As soon as this big killer comes out, it means that there is no need to discuss this topic at all!
After a while, Wang Jinglu suddenly said, "Do you know why my sister came back suddenly the day before yesterday?"
Li Qian shook his head, "I don't know. Why?"
Wang Jinglu lowered her head, "My dad... asked her to borrow money."
Li Qian asked puzzledly: "Your father, why don't you borrow money from your sister?"
Wang Jinglu nodded, "That woman... didn't she move away from our house last week? When my sister came back, she hid behind my mother's back and talked in the bedroom. I heard my mother crying, and then I Before my sister left, she told me that the woman was pregnant, and she asked my father to buy her a house before she would give birth to a child, otherwise she would go and kill the child, and my father agreed. But his recent two years The business doesn't seem to be very good, so I don't have that much money, so I asked my sister to borrow it..."
Li Qian was a little dumbfounded, "You mean...that little mother of yours is pregnant?"
Wang Jinglu nodded and said: "My father wants a son, so he wants to take a concubine. My mother also signed and agreed. She is also afraid that the woman will find fault with her. Not only does she treat her very well at home , and specifically requested that my sister and I must call her Xiaoma and not show her face. But in the end..."
"In the end, she still complained in front of your father?"
Wang Jinglu nodded, "Yes".
Li Qian reached out and rubbed his brow helplessly.
People say that it is difficult for an honest official to decide on housework. Li Qian, an outsider, can't even give advice on such matters.
But then again, the space-time system is really a bit weird.
The constitution stipulates that everyone is equal, men and women are equal, and it also stipulates the freedom of love and marriage, but at the same time it also stipulates that men have the right to take concubines.
As far as Li Qian knows, if a man wants to take a concubine, he only needs to obtain the consent of his parents, wife, the concubine he is going to marry, and her parents, and have them all sign the concubine application form with their own hands. Applications for concubinage can be made to the county level government. One year after the application, if all parties have no objection and no regrets, then the man only needs to hand over to the government ten times the amount of personal income tax he paid in the previous fiscal year as "concubinage money" You can officially marry the concubine into the door. Moreover, the two of them will also have a duplicate "concubine's certificate" issued and recognized by the state. This relationship is protected by law, and the concubine also has financial independence and divorce priority!
There is even a stipulation in the Marriage Law that both husband and wife shall not abuse concubines...
Of course, although the law allows it, there are really not many people who can afford it. Not to mention obtaining the consent of all stakeholders, not everyone is willing to bear the huge concubine payment based on personal income tax! Taking a concubine basically means emptying out five to eight years of savings for ordinary wage-earners. , share premium, and real estate appreciation must be taken into account, who is willing?
Therefore, there are really very few men in this society who take concubines. If there is no other way, those rich and thoughtful men would rather have sex outside and raise mistresses than take concubines...
…………
Maybe it was because Li Qian was so good at meeting his son and didn't speak, Wang Jinglu turned to look at him, and suddenly asked: "Hey, are you going to take a concubine in the future?"
In a flash, Li Qian's eyes lit up immediately.
"Accept it! Think about it, three wives and four concubines are a heroic dream! Since you can legally take concubines, why don't you accept them? Just like my father, my mother said to him, saying that I know you have such a wicked heart, and I guess it's okay. You can have this courage, but do you have the money? Listen, what does this mean? Whether you can take a concubine or not, and whether you are willing to spend that money is simply the criterion to distinguish whether you are a successful person or not!"
Wang Jinglu burst out laughing suddenly when she heard the words, couldn't help but raised her hand to give him a shoulder, and scolded with a smile: "I know I'm not in shape all day long, and my mouth is full of nonsense!"
Li Qian looked at her, put the glasses back on her with a smile, and said flatteringly, "Why don't you sign my name here in advance?"
Wang Jinglu glanced at him dumbfounded, and a little bit shy, turned her head and was about to go downstairs, "You'd better find your future wife to sign for you!"
But before she walked into the corridor, Li Qian had already picked up the words, "It's not enough to have my future wife's signature, you have to sign too!"
Wang Jinglu almost stumbled when she heard the words: Dare Li Qian is planning to make her a concubine!
She stood still at the entrance of the corridor, glaring at Li Qian bitterly, and saw that he looked so innocent, stomped her feet fiercely, and plunged into the corridor, "Li Qian, I don't want to talk to you anymore in my life!"
