Xiao Yulou had already arranged a trip for Daqi with a travel agency called "Tianma Travel Agency." The agency promised to send a professional tour guide to take Daqi's family on the trip. Yulou insisted that no outsiders could be allowed in, meaning only Daqi's family would be on the trip; the specific guest list would be decided by Daqi. The travel agency assured everyone that there were no problems and that Mr. Tong and Yulou could rest assured.
Chapter 215 Disciplining the Mother-in-Law
After everything was agreed upon, on a bright and sunny autumn day, Daqi, holding his mother's hand, led his seventeen women, guided by a tour guide, to Beijing for a trip. On their first day, when they met at the airport, Daqi's seventeen women were all dressed to the nines, charming and captivating. Wherever they went, these seventeen women were the center of attention. Most men, including many foreigners, stared intently. One foreigner couldn't help but say in broken Chinese, "China...is truly...a...place that produces...beautiful women, OK, OK!" Many women also gazed at them, drawn by their stylish attire. Qiwen had suggested that they dress to reflect their individuality: firstly, to bring honor to Daqi's family, and secondly, to bring honor to Daqi's company. Many women said that if they could possess the beauty of even one of these beauties, they would have no other desires in life.
Daqi was overjoyed and extremely proud! When he led the group of beautiful women through the airport security checkpoint, the security guards were dumbfounded. Many airport staff members were whispering among themselves.
Someone said, "Why are there so many beautiful women here?"
Someone replied, "Yes, they're all so beautiful, my god, they'd give me a nosebleed."
Some people say, "Even the most outstanding female flight attendants at our Liang Airlines are just ordinary members."
In short, many people praised the dozen or so beauties surrounding Daqi. Daqi was already numb to it; he knew perfectly well how attractive these women were. He held Qiwen and Yijing's hands as they went through security and registered together. Before boarding, Zhou Qiwen, the deputy leader of the tour group, repeatedly reminded everyone to be careful, follow instructions, and not to act alone. Everyone said they would obey Qiwen, and Qiwen was overjoyed. In fact, she knew these were all Daqi's women, or at least had some kind of affair with him.
That bastard, he just showed off all his women all of a sudden. Ugh, how can this man be so lecherous? There's just no way to deal with him. Oh well, he always does what I want anyway, I'll just ignore him. But he's not allowed to have any other women!
On the plane, even the usually proud and beautiful flight attendant lost her confidence and became a little shy. There were just too many beautiful women on the flight today. Actually, Daqi also had a flight attendant wife, Lijie. Seeing the flight attendant in her uniform, Daqi sat down next to Lijie and whispered in her ear, "Jie'er, do you still have your flight attendant uniform?" Lijie nodded and said, "I'm still on leave, and my uniform is still the proper one. But I won't have a chance to wear it anymore, because I promised you I wouldn't be a flight attendant anymore." Daqi laughed, "I'll let you wear your flight attendant uniform again in the future. And you can wear it at home." Lijie asked, puzzled, "Am I crazy? Why would I wear a uniform at home?" Daqi whispered, "I want you to wear it for me, hehe." Lijie seemed to understand. "What did you say?" she asked Daqi with a smile, gently saying, "Should we make a uniform for all your wives?" Daqi knew Lijie was joking, and he smiled, "You're the most beautiful flight attendant in my heart. You can wear it for me. But I have a condition." Lijie asked, "What condition?" Daqi smiled and said, "No underwear allowed." Lijie chuckled and gave the man a light kiss, saying, "We'll talk about it when we get home from our trip. At home, I'll do whatever you want me to wear." Daqi smiled slightly; he was happy that Lijie had become much more cheerful than before. In Daqi's eyes, Lijie, already beautiful and with an outstanding temperament, was now even more charming and alluring.
This must be because of my nurturing, Tong! I've been having sex with Lijie quite a bit lately, and she's become more and more obedient and docile through my training!
After speaking with Lijie, Daqi sat between Qiwen and his mother-in-law. Everyone had been quietly reading or sleeping the entire way. Upon arrival in Beijing, their local Beijing tour guide was already waiting for them at the airport. They were escorted to the Shangri-La Hotel Beijing by two guides—one from Rongzhou and one from Beijing. For the rest of their sightseeing in Beijing, Daqi and his family would stay with these two guides. The tour guide led Daqi's family to their accommodations first. Daqi specifically requested the following room arrangements: Qiwen and his mother-in-law in one double room; Xiaoli and Meiting in one double room; Lijie and Muping in one double room; his mother and Yijing in one double room; Ma'er and Yulou in one double room; Suqin and Pingjia in one double room; Ye Huan and Zheng Jie in one double room; Qianru and Chunxiao in one double room; Jia Ran and her daughter in one double room; and Daqi himself in a single room. Their rooms were connected.
Mother-in-law Ye Wenhua had been paying close attention to how Daqi arranged the rooms. When she saw that she and Qiwen were sharing a room, she was a little angry, but dared not say anything. However, when she saw that Daqi had a single room, she smiled happily!
Wen Hua thought to herself: You rascal, I wanted you to stay in a single room so I could come find you directly. You rascal, Mom absolutely loves you!
After the rooms were arranged, Daqi said to the tour guide, "The room arrangements will continue in this manner." The tour guide nodded to indicate that there were no problems. Everyone was a bit tired after the flight, so they weren't in a hurry to go to Beijing immediately. Qiwen suggested that everyone rest more and have a good time tomorrow, which everyone readily agreed to. After everyone returned to their respective rooms, Qiwen called Daqi to her room. Daqi had originally intended to go to Xiaoli and Meiting's room to have the two beauties help him take a bath, but unexpectedly, Qiwen came directly to him. Daqi felt that Qiwen's face showed a slight hint of anger today.
In front of her mother, Qiwen said directly to Daqi, "Honey, come here, let me help you take a bath." Daqi smiled and said, "Thank you, wife!" Qiwen said, "Add the word 'big' to it!" Daqi smiled slightly, hugged Qiwen, and said, "Thank you, my dear wife!" Qiwen then smiled and said, "I guess all your women are here, right?"
Daqi knew that Qiwen wasn't jealous as much anymore. She had so openly encouraged him to talk things out with his cousin, Lijie. Daqi didn't want to hide it from her, so he nodded.
Qiwen said nothing and went directly into the bathroom with the man. Inside, the first wife, Fairy, was helping Daqi bathe. Qiwen said, "Husband, you need to take care of yourself! You have enough women already, it's time to stop." Daqi kissed Qiwen and said, "I promise you, but you have to promise me you won't be jealous." Qiwen said, "It's impossible not to be jealous. But I don't want to restrict you too much right now. You're a capable man, so naturally many women will be with you. I've figured that out now. But I still have to advise you: listen to your first wife this once, and don't have any other women in the future."
Daqi nodded and said, "Actually, I already have enough women, and I don't want any more. Don't worry!" Qiwen nodded helplessly and said, "We all owe you something from our past lives. Hey, you have to keep your word! Can you swear an oath?" Daqi nodded and swore an oath. Qiwen was satisfied and said, "Give me a list of all your women. I need to know exactly who they are." Daqi had no choice but to hug Qiwen and whisper, "I'll tell you everything, but you have to promise me you'll never leave me in this life, and you have to be my first wife. You have to help me manage these women." Qiwen smiled slightly and said, "You also have to promise me you won't have any other wives in the future." Daqi nodded and said, "Don't worry, first wife, I will definitely only have you as my wives!" So, Daqi told Qiwen about all his women, including Yulou, Lanyun, Qianru, Chunxiao, Suqin, Pingjia, and so on, as well as Jia Ran and her daughter, Ye Huan, Zheng Jie, and others. Qiwen, true to her word, wasn't angry. She said, "Yulou, Pingjia, and Suqin are like your secretaries. They're all beautiful, and it's normal for them to be with you. But I just can't understand Qianru, Chunxiao, and Lanyun, and I especially can't understand why my cousin Jiaran would also..." Daqi didn't tell Qiwen about his mother-in-law and Xiaoman. He really couldn't bring himself to say it. These kinds of mother-daughter relationships were best kept quiet. Daqi gently stroked Qiwen's body as they soaked in the hot water. He said, "Don't worry, I promise you I won't have any other women." Qiwen could only nod helplessly. She knew she loved Daqi too much, and to some extent, she had indulged him, which was why she hadn't been overly jealous. Plus, Daqi had always treated her the best, regarding her as his first wife, so she had accepted all of Daqi's women. Daqi was grateful to Qiwen and gently kissed her. After arranging her in a perfect horse-riding position, he began to have intercourse with her. Daqi moved his body lightly, repeatedly saying, "Wen'er, thank you, thank you..." Qiwen only responded softly, "In the future... you can't... have... any other wives..." Daqi nodded in agreement, while increasing the force of his movements, and Qiwen screamed desperately again. Soon, she was driven mad by the man and begged for mercy. Daqi couldn't bear to continue tormenting the beautiful and generous fairy. He quickly withdrew his body completely from the fairy's body, his wet member erect, and then forcefully pressed the fairy's jade head against his crotch, the woman opening her small mouth in perfect cooperation... Daqi trembled, breathing heavily.
In truth, Qiwen had long been completely conquered by Daqi, both physically and mentally, though outwardly she remained an "Empress." Now, the "Empress" made virtually no demands on Daqi, the "Emperor."

She refused, even hoping Daqi would "issue a decree" to her. Looking at the white fluid at the corner of Qiwen's red lips, Daqi simply said, "Swallow it." Qiwen immediately complied. Qiwen was also a very pragmatic woman. She knew her man could handle seven or eight women simultaneously in one night, and she would be driven to her death by him if she were alone. This was one of the reasons she was able to be so open-minded.
Qiwen thought to herself: What should I do if I can't figure this out? Sexually, she simply can't fully satisfy her nemesis. Hey, having a few more women to serve him isn't such a bad thing! Men, as long as they're capable, they're all the same. Her nemesis is a successful man. As long as he treats her well, that's enough. As for other women, she believes their place in Qiwen's heart will never surpass hers!
Qiwen was confident, and her judgment was correct. Daqi truly loved her the most, favored her the most, and doted on her the most. This was evident from the trip; Daqi appointed her as the deputy leader and deputy commander-in-chief. Qiwen understood that in this family, Daqi was the absolute "emperor" and ruler, and the only ruler. His appointment as leader was inevitable, and for him to appoint her as deputy leader and deputy commander-in-chief in front of so many women was incredibly prestigious! Despite the presence of so many beautiful and mature women, and even a star like Xiao Li, Daqi still appointed her as deputy leader to command all his women. This clearly demonstrated that Daqi, this "emperor," had designated Zhou Qiwen as his "empress"—the "official empress"!
Oh, my "Emperor," your "Empress," I love you so much! I will love you forever, kneel before you, and serve you well! But I also beg you, please don't have any other women, otherwise Wen'er will be heartbroken!
Actually, while Daqi and Qiwen were making love in the bathroom, the mother-in-law couldn't help but feel aroused. Because Qiwen was shouting so loudly, the mother-in-law's desire surged immediately upon hearing her daughter's plaintive voice. When Daqi and Qiwen walked out of the bathroom hand in hand, the mother-in-law quickly went in and started taking a shower. She quickly took off her pants and underwear, because they were completely soaked… While showering, the mother-in-law thought: "Son-in-law, son-in-law, why were you and Wen'er making so much noise? Look what you've done to me… Oh, son-in-law, I love you so much! No, I have to go find you tonight, you rascal."
Daqi and Qiwen were the same; they were hugging and cuddling. Even after Daqi's mother-in-law came out of the shower, they were still embracing, even kissing and laughing. Daqi occasionally stole glances at his mother-in-law and noticed she was looking at her daughter with envy. Being a seasoned womanizer, he naturally knew what his mother-in-law was thinking.
Daqi said, "Wen'er, I'll sleep in my own room tonight. You and Mom can get some rest." The mother-in-law was overjoyed. She thought to herself, "Son-in-law, you're so kind! As long as you're in a single room, I won't be polite. I'll definitely come to find you!"
Qiwen pouted and said, "Hold me while I sleep, I love it when you hold me!" Daqi was about to agree, because he usually agreed when a fairy pleaded. Unexpectedly, his mother-in-law said, "Wen'er, let Daqi sleep alone. I want to speak with you in our hometown dialect. If we speak in our hometown dialect, he won't understand, and that would be disrespectful to him!" Daqi was surprised and thought: Wenhua, my mother-in-law, you are a genius! Only you could come up with such a way to let me temporarily leave Qiwen and sleep in a single room.
Qiwen paused for a moment upon hearing her mother's words, then said to Daqi, "Then go ahead, give me a kiss!" Daqi had no choice but to kiss Qiwen, then winked at his mother-in-law before smiling and returning to his room. He knew his mother-in-law would definitely come back for him. He lay comfortably on the bed watching TV, eagerly awaiting his mother-in-law's arrival. Just thinking about his mother-in-law's seductive charm made his crotch bulge again…
Wenhua, Wenhua, tonight your son-in-law is going to show off his manly prowess on you to relieve your inner hunger!
Around 1 a.m., Daqi noticed the door to his room was open, and sure enough, his beautiful mother-in-law walked in. He excitedly exclaimed, "Mom, come here quickly!" Wenhua, in her excitement, almost ran to Daqi. Daqi smiled and whispered, "Don't let me see a single piece of clothing on you, and be quick!" Upon hearing this, his mother-in-law quickly removed all her clothes. Before Daqi could give any further instructions, she knelt before him and began unbuttoning his trousers… Daqi looked at the seductive woman's trembling head and alluring eyes and said, "Are you kneeling to me or to my brother?" Wenhua smiled and spat out what was in her mouth, saying, "Both!" Daqi stroked her hair and said, "You're in a hurry today!" Wenhua pouted and said, "You and Wen'er were going crazy in the bathroom just now, how could I not be affected by you?" Daqi laughed, "Mom, you're the most seductive woman I've ever seen!" Wenhua said, "Son-in-law, don't you like it when your mother is seductive?" Daqi shook his head and said, "No way!" "I love the way you are now, Mom. Are you this flirtatious with my father-in-law too?" Wen Hua laughed, "He begged me on his knees to marry him. If I glared at him, his legs would tremble, and it's the same now. Even though he's the bureau chief, I won't be overly flirtatious in front of him." Da Qi was delighted. He said, "But you're quite flirtatious and wanton in front of me, but I like it! Mom, call me 'husband,' then call yourself 'the harlot Wen Hua,' and tell me what you want to do." His mother-in-law immediately said coquettishly, "Husband, harlot...harlot Wen Hua..." Da Qi deliberately tried to deflate her ego to vent his anger for his father-in-law. Although his mother-in-law was extremely beautiful and sexy, extremely noble and outstanding, and known as "the most beautiful woman in Ping An," she was too arrogant towards his father-in-law. As his father-in-law's son-in-law, he should also put his mother-in-law's arrogance to rest, otherwise she would think all the men in the world were dead. He had to make her understand that, at least, he, Tong Da Qi, was still alive!
Daqi deliberately said, "Speak more clearly, speak more naturally, say it again." After saying this, his eyes were fixed on the television, barely glancing at the beautiful woman kneeling before him, trying to please him with her lips and tongue. His mother-in-law, displeased that her son-in-law was speaking to her in such a forceful tone, said, "Son-in-law, are you so arrogant in front of your mother? Don't you give me any face at all?" Daqi said unhappily, "Mom, go back to Wen'er's room, and don't come here again!" His mother-in-law's face changed drastically upon hearing this, and she immediately whispered, "Okay, okay, okay. I'll talk, I'll talk..."
Chapter 216 Facing Reality
The mother-in-law whispered, "My dear husband, this harlot Wenhua misses you!" Daqi replied, "Not loud enough, louder." The mother-in-law had no choice but to raise her voice slightly, saying, "My dear husband, this harlot Wenhua misses you!" Daqi then smiled and said, "You're too arrogant. If I don't teach you a lesson, no one in the world can control you." The mother-in-law then said somewhat coquettishly, "Son-in-law, you're so naughty. I'm still your mother-in-law, and I've always doted on you." Daqi said, "Of course you're older than me outside, but now it's just the two of us. Do you expect me to treat you like an elder?" The mother-in-law smiled and shook her head. Daqi said, "Continue, I didn't tell you to stop." As he spoke, he gently pressed the mother-in-law's head against his crotch. The woman immediately complied with Daqi's wishes, pleasing him to the fullest, making Daqi's buttocks tremble with pleasure. Daqi said, "Ye Wenhua, you are my mother-in-law, my mother. But you are also my little slut. I like your slutness, I like your wantonness!" The mother-in-law spat out what was in her mouth and replied sweetly, "Daqi, my good son-in-law, my dear husband, my sir. I, Ye Wenhua, am your little slut. You want me to be slutty, I'll be slutty; you want me to be wanton, I'll be wanton!" Daqi said, "Come on, get on top, you little slut!" Upon hearing this, the mother-in-law immediately beamed and, with a determined look, plopped down on Daqi's lap… Watching her snow-white body rise and fall, Daqi said sharply, "Wenhua, you slut, hurry up and call me husband." The woman smiled mysteriously and began to moan and call him "husband" repeatedly…
Just as Daqi and his beautiful, seductive mother-in-law, Ye Wenhua, were engaged in their passionate encounter, their door was opened a crack. This was all because the mother-in-law was too excited to see Daqi. Daqi had shouted, "Mom, come here quickly!" and she rushed to him, not even closing the door, eager to win his favor. This careless fellow, Tong Daqi, didn't realize his door wasn't locked and was already in a hurry to flirt with his beautiful mother-in-law. The one who opened the crack was none other than the fairy-like Qiwen… Qiwen gently closed the door again.
Her feelings were complicated. She thought, how could they be like this—one the man she loved most, the other her own mother? She believed Daqi wouldn't dare to easily bully her mother. She knew her mother; she had always been arrogant and proud, yet now her husband, Daqi, had completely subdued her. She felt both angry and amused. Angry that such a thing could happen between them, and amused that her mother was being controlled by her own man.
Mom, oh Mom, what am I supposed to say to you? How could you have something to do with my husband, your son-in-law...? Hey, Daqi, you shouldn't have done that. You have so many women with you, why did you have to do that with my mom?
Qiwen thought about Daqi and her mother's situation. She didn't feel jealous; instead, she was thinking rationally. Sigh, maybe Mom's been "dry" for too long. Qiwen also knew her father was a eunuch; her mother had mentioned it occasionally. From that perspective, her mother's affair with Daqi was right. Qiwen understood her mother; because she was beautiful and the bureau chief's wife, she naturally wouldn't easily have an affair with another man. She valued her reputation too much. Sigh, let her be. She's her mother; what could she say to her?
Qiwen turned on the bedside lamp, deep in thought. Suddenly, the door opened, and Qiwen's mother—Daqi's mother-in-law—came in. She and Daqi had finished their "battle" and were trying to sneak back to her own bed. Seeing Qiwen with the light on, her mother-in-law screamed in fright. Her voice trembled, "Wen'er, you...why are you up? Go to sleep!" Qiwen said, "Mom, go call Daqi over." Her mother-in-law was speechless. Qiwen repeated, "Mom, go call him!" Knowing her daughter, her mother-in-law knew she knew everything, so she called Daqi over.
Daqi, on the contrary, felt no guilt whatsoever. He knew Qiwen wouldn't dare do anything to her mother. She could only accept the reality that her mother had already had a relationship with him.
Daqi thought to himself: Wen, it's good that you know, you'd find out sooner or later anyway. Tonight, I, Tong Daqi, will strike while the iron is hot and be a real man—a man who will take you both in! From now on, I'll make you both serve me obediently. I've already taken you both in, now I'll be a man who can take you both in any time!
The mother-in-law thought to herself: "Daughter, don't be jealous. I'm a normal person, and I really can't stand the feeling of being a 'living widow.' Stealing from Daqi is better than stealing from someone else! Besides, I'm your mother; I'm just borrowing your husband for a while."
Daqi and his mother-in-law entered Qiwen's room, and Daqi casually locked the door behind him. He went straight to Qiwen, picked her up, and sat her on his lap. He asked softly, "Wen'er, did you call me for something?" Qiwen looked at her mother and Daqi and asked, "When did you two start?" Her mother-in-law calmly replied, "Daughter, when it started isn't important. What's important is that we've already started." After saying that, her mother-in-law also went to her daughter's side and gently stroked her face, saying, "'No one knows a mother better than her daughter.' You know I've been living like a widow for your father for several years. Before I met Daqi, your father was the only person I had in my life. Now I don't want to live like that anymore. I'm asking you, do you want Mom and Dad to divorce or not?"
Qiwen: "Mom, if you divorce Dad, I'll kill myself right now!"
Mother-in-law: "Wen'er, I know your personality, and you should understand your mother. With my current circumstances, I could easily find another official to marry. But I don't want to. I want to protect your father's reputation and the reputation of this family, and I have an even greater responsibility to protect you. I don't want you to suffer any emotional harm. So Daqi and I are like this. I can assure you, we will continue like this in the future. Because it's already like this, I don't need to run away anymore."
Qiwen burst into tears and whispered, "Mom, I know you're suffering... but..."
The mother-in-law said, "But what? Do you expect me to just tell you, 'Wen'er, I want your husband, Daqi'? Daughter, we live in a new era. I've been a widow for so many years, I've come to understand that I'll eventually have an affair or get a divorce. Rather than that, I'd rather be with Daqi like this. At least our family will still be harmonious and complete!"
Daqi felt he didn't need to say anything, because his mother-in-law was enough to "handle" Qiwen. He just sat there with his arm around Qiwen, mentally counting down the time until he could have both of them.
Qiwen didn't dare say anything more; she was actually very afraid of her mother. When she was little, she wouldn't dare utter a sound whenever her mother got angry. However, her mother-in-law was usually very good to her daughter Qiwen, spoiling her like a princess.
The mother-in-law continued, "Wen'er, don't worry. Daqi is still your husband, my son-in-law. Listen to me, try to think positively!" Qiwen didn't respond, and the mother-in-law immediately said sternly, "Did you hear what I said?" Qiwen immediately stammered, "Mom, I heard... I heard... but you must never let anyone else know about your relationship..." The mother-in-law smiled and said, "Silly child, I understand that. You can rest assured!"
Daqi could hardly believe his mother-in-law possessed such power. It seemed the story of his father-in-law being suppressed by her his entire life was truly true. He also found it hard to believe that this proud, beautiful, and arrogant fairy, besides being conquered by him, was so afraid of her mother. Now, if Qiwen ever had a disagreement with him, he could simply have his mother-in-law step in to "control" her. Because he had completely "controlled" his mother-in-law, if he asked her to "control" Qiwen, she would have no choice but to go, and she would definitely be able to "control" Qiwen! Haha, so happy!
Daqi whispered in his mother-in-law's ear, "Mom, to improve the relationship between the three of us, have Wen'er take off her clothes, then you take yours off too. Finally, you can all help me take mine off." His mother-in-law smiled slightly and said, "That makes sense! Okay, I'll do as you say." She immediately said to Qiwen, "Wen'er, come on, take off your clothes." Qiwen could only follow her mother-in-law's instructions and gently began to undress...
Finally, Daqi began to fully enjoy the company of the fairy Qiwen and his mother-in-law. Qiwen was hesitant, but fearing her mother's anger, she could only bite the bullet and try to please Daqi. His mother-in-law, on the other hand, kept flattering and fawning over him. Daqi was overjoyed, taking turns enjoying the beautiful Qiwen and the sexy mother-in-law…
Finally, the three of them embraced. Qiwen was on the left, her mother-in-law on the right, and Daqi in the middle. After their joint "battle," Qiwen gradually came to terms with things. She hugged the man tightly, as did her mother-in-law. But Daqi hugged Qiwen tightly, knowing she had suffered some grievances that day. The three of them huddled together and fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next morning, Daqi, Qiwen, and his mother-in-law all got up and came over. Qiwen was in a good mood, and his mother-in-law was especially happy, constantly helping Daqi get dressed. Qiwen was also busy adjusting the man's collar and other things. Qiwen said, "Where are we going to go in Beijing today?" Daqi said, "Let's go to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City first; the tour guide said it'll take a whole day." His mother-in-law said, "Beijing..."
There are many places to play.

"We must have a good time!" Qiwen said. "Honey, are you really going to the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall?" Daqi nodded and said, "Chairman Mao is the greatest person and hero I admire most in my life. I must go to the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall to pay my respects to him!"
And so, led by the two tour guides, Daqi, his mother, and his seventeen beautiful wives arrived at the magnificent Tiananmen Square. Everyone was delighted, remarking on how vast Tiananmen Square was. Daqi said, "Wives, I'm going to pay my respects to Chairman Mao. What about you?"
Chapter 217 Taking Wedding Photos
The wives exclaimed, "We want to go too! If our husband wants to go, we want to go!" Daqi was overjoyed and, along with his mother and seventeen wives, arrived at the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall. A long line of people had already formed at the entrance, all there to pay their respects to Chairman Mao, the great leader of the Chinese people. Daqi bought a bouquet of flowers and said to Qiwen, "Wen'er, I bought a bouquet of flowers to offer to Chairman Mao." Qiwen smiled and said, "I know you admire Chairman Mao. After we pay our respects, shall we go to the Forbidden City?" Daqi nodded, gave her a light kiss, and said, "Okay, tell them to follow those two tour guides." Qiwen nodded.
The Chairman Mao Memorial Hall is located south of the Monument to the People's Heroes in Tiananmen Square. Completed in May 1977, it covers an area of over 57,000 square meters, with a total building area of 28,000 square meters. The main building is square in shape, with 44 exposed columns made of yellow granite from Fujian, with decorative ceramic panels from Shiwan, Guangzhou installed between the columns, and the entire structure is faced with Qingdao granite. The roof has two layers of glass eaves, with sunflower reliefs inlaid between them. The base has two platforms, with the platform sides entirely constructed of jujube-red granite from the Dadu River in Sichuan, surrounded by a railing decorated with evergreen flowers made of white marble from Fangshan. Two white marble hanging ribbons, carved with sunflower, evergreen, wintersweet, and pine patterns, run between the steps of the south and north gates.
Daqi and his companions visited the North Hall, the Memorial Hall, and the memorial rooms commemorating the revolutionary achievements of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, and Zhu De. They also visited the cinema and the South Hall. Their main focus was paying respects to Chairman Mao's remains. After leaving the magnificent and solemn memorial hall, Daqi was deeply moved. Xiaoli asked Daqi, "Honey, I saw someone crying in front of Chairman Mao's remains." Daqi replied, "I saw it too, probably two old men." Qiwen said, "Chairman Mao has been gone from the Chinese people for over 20 years, but the Chinese people have never forgotten that he was the true leader and mentor." Daqi laughed, "That's right, it's a pity that China will hardly produce such great men and heroes again. Chairman Mao was a giant of history, not only a giant of Chinese history, but also a giant of world history! I came to Beijing mainly to pay my respects to him; sightseeing was secondary." Qiwen said, "Honey, let's go to the relevant shops and buy some Chairman Mao souvenirs to display at home." Daqi said, "Okay, if we want to see..." "You absolutely must buy me a Chairman Mao badge." Xiao Li said, "Okay, okay, okay. I know you'd love to wear a Chairman Mao badge." Da Qi laughed, "If I weren't afraid of being laughed at, I would definitely wear a Chairman Mao badge; I'd wear it willingly. I had a few when I was little, but my classmate stole them because they were pretty. Ugh, I was so angry!" Mu Ping said, "Honey, you're neither a Party member nor a cadre, so why do you admire Chairman Mao so much?" Da Qi smiled and said, "I love reading history, and I think Chairman Mao is the greatest leader, so I admire him. I'll never be a cadre in my life, and it's unlikely I'll join the Party. But, based on what I know about Chairman Mao, ordinary Party members and cadres..." "Compared to me, you're just a primary school student, or even someone who hasn't graduated from primary school," Qianru said. "I'm considered a government cadre. I know many of us haven't even read 'Selected Works of Mao Zedong' or any of Chairman Mao's works." Chunxiao said to Daqi, "My dear, you should go into politics, not business. I believe if you had the opportunity to go into politics, you would definitely do better than the average cadre. With your understanding of Party history and Party building theory, you could definitely be a good cadre." Daqi laughed, "Sister Chunxiao, you flatter me. Our Tong family is a family of politicians. In my personal understanding, going into politics, that is, becoming an official, requires not only ability but also a certain amount of fate and opportunity. In addition, one's attitude towards life is also very important. With my current economic situation..." "Given my circumstances and social status, I really don't want to be an official," Qiwen said. "Why?" Daqi replied, "I'm too free now. If I were an official, I'd want to be a good one, but being a good official means offending a lot of people. There are countless historical precedents for this, whether it's high-ranking or low-ranking officials. I don't want to offend anyone. I'm doing alright now, but my attitude towards life has become a bit passive. I want to finish the Chengrenji project and even withdraw from the business world to live a peaceful life as an ordinary citizen. I'd much rather spend my days surrounded by you beautiful women. Hahaha!" Qiwen said, "Great, great! That way you can spend every day with us." Daqi and his wives chatted as they toured the Palace Museum with the guide.
The Palace Museum, also known as the Forbidden City, served as the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties and is the largest and most complete existing ancient architectural complex in my country. This unparalleled masterpiece of ancient architecture covers over 720,000 square meters and contains more than 9,000 palaces, all constructed of wood with yellow glazed tile roofs and white marble bases, adorned with magnificent painted decorations. These palaces are arranged along a north-south central axis, extending symmetrically to both sides. This central axis not only runs through the Forbidden City but also extends south to Yongding Gate and north to the Drum Tower and Bell Tower, traversing the entire city with its grandeur, rigorous planning, and spectacular scale. Architects consider the design and construction of the Forbidden City to be an unparalleled masterpiece; its layout, three-dimensional effect, and the majestic, magnificent, solemn, and harmonious forms are all rare. It symbolizes our country's long cultural tradition and showcases the outstanding architectural achievements of craftsmen more than 500 years ago.
After Daqi, leading his mother and a group of beautiful wives, finished visiting the Palace Museum, the tour guide said to them, "Mr. Tong, that concludes today's itinerary. You can rest tonight or do your own shopping. Tomorrow, we'll go to the Great Wall." Daqi nodded in agreement. Daqi exclaimed sincerely, "The Palace Museum is so beautiful!" Qiwen suggested that everyone stroll along Wangfujing Street and try some snacks that evening, and everyone agreed. Daqi asked his mother, "Mom, are you tired? If you are, I'll take you back to the hotel to rest." His mother replied, "It's a rare opportunity to visit our great capital, and I want to see it properly. I know Wangfujing Street from my hometown. I'm not tired; I'll go with you." Qiwen said, "Yes, Mom, if you're not tired, come with us." Daqi could only smile and shake his head; he was worried about his mother being tired, but otherwise, he wasn't concerned.
As soon as the dozen or so wives arrived at Wangfujing Street, they started browsing the shops, where there were many small commodities for sale.
Wangfujing Street is an ancient street. During the Yuan Dynasty, it was a north-south street called Dingzi Street. In the early Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, a Huitongguan was set up on the east side of Dingzi Street. Later, "the establishment of Nanguan and Beiguan was also set up, all to accommodate foreign envoys," making it a guesthouse for receiving foreign envoys. In the fifteenth year of Yongle (1417), ten princely residences were built southeast of Dong'an Gate, with 8,350 rooms, hence the name Wangfu Street. During the Xuande period, three more princely residences were built south of the princely residences. In the twentieth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, Prince Yixian was originally located in Shuaifu Hutong. In the late Qing Dynasty, it was called Wangfujing Street, and Dong'an Market was built on the east side of the street. During the Republic of China period, because Yuan Shikai's advisor, the Englishman Morrison (1860-1920), lived at No. 100 on the west side of the street (now a Swiss watch repair shop), it was briefly renamed Morrison Avenue. After 1975, it was commonly known as Wangfujing Street. The connection between the "well" and this street is that there was a well in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty's Tenth Prince's Mansion, whose water was famous for its sweet and clear quality. This characteristic was gradually incorporated into the street name.
The area around Wangfujing Street originally boasted many famous ancient buildings, private residences, royal palaces, and temples. Among the more well-known ones still visible today is the Catholic Church, located southeast of the intersection of Wangfujing Street and Dengshi West Exit. This Catholic Church was initially built in the twelfth year of the Shunzhi Emperor's reign (1655), covering an area of over 10,000 square meters, and is commonly known as "the Church." When Wangfujing Street was transformed into a pedestrian street, the Catholic Church was renovated and its surroundings were beautified, making it a popular destination for tourists. Daqi, along with his mother and wives, also visited the Catholic Church.
On the north side of Jinyu Hutong, which intersects with Wangfujing, once stood the private residence of Na Tong, a powerful minister and Grand Secretary of the Grand Council during the late Qing Dynasty, known as "Na Tong Garden." Wangfujing's transformation into a commercial street is undoubtedly related to the Eight-Nation Alliance's occupation of Beijing, which forced the Qing government to allocate the area around Dongjiaomin Lane to the foreign embassies. To facilitate business with foreigners, various merchants settled here, with the earliest commercial area being the Dong'an Market, opened in 1903 (the 29th year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign). Among the more famous established brands were Tong Shenghe Shoes, Shengxifu Hats, and Hengdeli Watches, all of which remain thriving today. The renovated Wangfujing now boasts the New Dong'an Market, Oriental Plaza, Beijing Hotel, Shidu Shopping Mall, Department Store, Children's Mall, Xinhua Bookstore, and other establishments that complement the old brands, making it a popular destination for domestic and foreign merchants and tourists alike for leisure and shopping. Daqi said to his wives, "Tell Qiwen what you want to buy, and she'll pay. Remember, each person can only spend a maximum of 3000 yuan tonight." The beauties were overjoyed, and everyone bought what they liked. Xiaoli said, "Honey, you're so good to me!" Daqi smiled and said, "Go buy what you like." Daqi then asked Qiwen, "Wen'er, isn't 3000 yuan too little? Should we give each person an extra 2000 yuan?" Qiwen said softly, "Honey, that's enough. This time, so many of us are spending money..." "It's huge. Just shopping on Wangfujing Street alone costs 3,000 yuan per person, which is quite a lot. Think about it, we're also going to Suzhou and other places; we'll definitely need to budget for everyone there too. That's settled then!" Daqi smiled and nodded, "You're the eldest wife, whatever you say goes!" Only his mother said she didn't want to buy anything. Daqi said to his wives, "Mom and I are going to the China Photo Studio. We'll meet at the entrance in an hour. You all go in groups of three or four, don't get separated!" All the beautiful wives nodded in agreement. His mother-in-law, in particular, happily exclaimed, "We can shop again! I'm so happy!" Daqi didn't want to buy anything either, so he and his mother went to visit the China Photo Studio on Wangfujing Street.
Although it was Daqi's first time in Beijing, he knew of the China Photo Studio. He knew that over decades, the studio had embodied the hard work of two generations of technicians from Shanghai and Beijing. It had not only photographed and restored portraits of many national leaders, but also used light and shadow to record unforgettable moments in the lives of ordinary citizens amidst the changing times. From full-moon photos and wedding photos to family portraits, the small photos bearing the four characters "China Photo" had become treasured heirlooms in many Beijing homes. At the entrance of the studio, Daqi saw photos of great figures displayed in the window, including Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, and Liu Shaoqi. He suddenly had an idea: he would take a "family portrait" there—a portrait of his mother, himself, and his seventeen beautiful wives.
After meeting up with his seventeen wives, including Qiwen, they all agreed to take a "family photo." However, each woman requested a separate photo with Daqi, except for his mother-in-law and Jia Ran and her daughter. His mother-in-law said, "Son-in-law, let's take one together too!" Jia Ran added, "Little brother, let's take one together with you, mother and daughter." Qiwen added, "Honey, how about we take a wedding photo?" Daqi smiled and said, "How about this, I'll take a wedding photo with each of you beauties." Qiwen nodded reluctantly, while the other beauties happily nodded in agreement. Daqi could only whisper to Qiwen, "Aren't you happy? Don't worry, you'll always be my first wife." She could only laugh and say, "Oh well, they're all your women anyway, okay, everyone can take a photo with you. If only I take one, the others will feel uncomfortable." Daqi nodded, gently kissed his wife, and said, "Thank you, Qiwen!" And so, Daqi took a wedding photo with each of his wives. Aside from his mother-in-law, who naturally wouldn't reveal her ambiguous relationship with her son-in-law in front of everyone, she could only watch enviously as others took photos with Daqi. Daqi and Jiaran also generously took a wedding photo. He hadn't originally planned to take one with Xiaoman, but unexpectedly, Xiaoman pleaded in front of everyone, "Brother Qi, let me have a wedding photo shoot with you too, please..." Qiwen, feeling soft-hearted, directly said to Daqi, "Never mind, the little sister is just curious, take one with her." Everyone hoped Daqi would grant Xiaoman's request, so Daqi took a wedding photo with Xiaoman as well. Xiaoman was obviously extremely happy. The photographer at the photo studio was very curious and very surprised. Because a man taking wedding photos with 16 women was something he had never encountered in his photography career. Moreover, these 16 women, whether mature young women like Jiaran and Yulou, or young girls like Qiwen and Xiaoli, or even a young girl like Xiaoman, were all so beautiful. The photographer was a little surprised that there was a beautiful young woman who seemed eager to have her picture taken, but ultimately didn't. This beautiful young woman was, of course, Daqi's mother-in-law, his wife, Ye Wenhua. After taking the photos, the photographer asked Daqi, "How come you're taking wedding photos with so many beautiful women all by yourself?" Xiao Li answered for Daqi, "We're all marrying him, do you believe it?" The photographer smiled and shook his head. Xiao Li added, "The film crew needs it."
Chapter 218 The Great Wall and Fragrant Hills
The photographer nodded, seemingly understanding; he assumed the man and the dozen or so beautiful women were filming a TV show or movie. After taking wedding photos and a "family portrait" with the women, Daqi led everyone to the Wangfujing snack street for food. The snacks there were indeed excellent, offering almost every famous snack from all over the country, but mainly Beijing specialties. While eating, Xiaoli suddenly leaned close to Daqi's ear and whispered, "That Xiaoman seems to have a thing for you. Is she over 18?" Daqi whispered, "Just turned 18, why?" Xiaoli smiled slightly and whispered, "I think that girl is pretty, charming, and has a lovely figure. Since she likes you, and she's over 18, why don't you just take her in?" Daqi was secretly delighted that Xiaoli was encouraging him to take Xiaoman in.
Li'er, oh Li'er, Xiaoman's virginity has already been deflowered by your husband, so your suggestion came a little late. But I'm very happy, because I truly love Xiaoman, and you encouraged me to take her as my own. A beautiful, obedient, and well-proportioned girl like her—your husband naturally wants her to kneel before him obediently, letting him command her for life! Li'er, you can rest assured, this beauty, Xiaoman, has already been taken by me! Your husband has not only taken her, but has completely conquered her, both physically and mentally!
Daqi whispered to Xiaoli, "Don't worry, I've already..." Xiaoli smiled and said, "No wonder she insisted on taking a picture with you." Daqi smiled and said, "Li'er, if you have the chance, teach Xiaoman a lesson, let her learn your skills." Xiaoli said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely train her to your satisfaction." Daqi nodded and whispered, "Thank you, Li'er!" Xiaoli whispered again, "How about I train her for you later?" Daqi nodded and said, "Okay, come to my private room later." Xiaoli nodded. On the way back to the hotel, Daqi whispered to Xiaoman, "Come to my room later." Xiaoman was overjoyed to hear this; she knew her beloved Qi-ge wanted her to serve him.
Brother Qi, Xiaoman's favorite thing to do is to serve you well!

Back at the hotel, everyone was a bit tired. Daqi led the beautiful Xiaoman directly to his room. Jiaran knew this and said to Daqi, "Be gentle with her, but don't spoil her too much. She's been much more obedient lately because she's afraid of you. You're in charge of her for the rest of her life." Daqi said, "Don't worry, sister. If she doesn't listen to you in the future, just tell me." Jiaran nodded gratefully and went back to her room.
After Daqi and Xiaoman entered the house, he directly asked the girl, "Did you learn from your mother how to serve me well?" The two were embracing, and Xiaoman nodded gently, saying, "I've learned quite a bit. Want me to demonstrate for you now?" Daqi laughed, "Little girl, you're very obedient. I like it. Show me all the skills you learned from your mother." Xiaoman nodded gently, saying, "Yes, Brother Qi. Brother Qi, Xiaoman is very happy today!" Daqi laughed, "Why?" Xiaoman smiled, "When you take a picture with me, I feel like your youngest wife, and also your most beloved wife." Daqi said, "Since you are my youngest wife, you must listen to me the most, understand? Only then..." "Only then will I pamper you! You're the youngest, so you should listen to your older sisters' opinions. And you must listen to your mother, otherwise..." Xiaoman immediately shook her head and said, "No other way. I will definitely listen to my older sisters and my mother... But Xiaoman is most willing to listen to you, Brother Qi..." Daqi chuckled and said to her, "If your mother tells me you're disobedient, then..." Xiaoman interrupted Daqi again and said, "No, I will listen to my mother!" Daqi then smiled slightly and said, "Hmm, good girl, that's the Xiaoman I want. Come, help me take a bath." Xiaoman happily said, "Yes, Brother Qi!" Xiaoman was about to help Daqi take off his clothes when someone knocked on the door. Daqi opened the door himself, and it turned out to be Xiaoli.
Xiaoman greeted Xiaoli politely, "Hello, Sister Xiaoli!" Xiaoli smiled and said, "Little Xiaoman, you must be having a great day, right?" Xiaoman smiled and nodded. Daqi said, "Li'er, you should teach Xiaoman a lot today. Xiaoman, you'll learn from Sister Xiaoli today." Xiaoman nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Qi, I will." Then, she immediately said to Xiaoli, "Sister Xiaoli, please give me your guidance." Xiaoli smiled and said, "We're all family, no problem, no problem."
Daqi led Xiaoli and Xiaoman to the bathroom. The two women undressed themselves first, then helped Daqi undress as well. Xiaoli filled the bathtub with hot water. The three of them soaked in the hot water together. Daqi had Xiaoman turn her back to him and hugged her from behind, gently caressing her breasts with his hands, while Xiaoli hugged him from behind.
