"Mother, sister-in-law looks really pitiful!" Soon after Qiao Sulan left, Pei Ying came in with a dish of kidney bean cake, and her little face was gloomy and sighed. As a young girl who will marry in a few years, it is difficult for Pei Ying not to empathize, after all, who doesn't look forward to being a couple with her husband for the rest of her life?

"Who told your sister-in-law that she can't give birth to a child?" said Zhao very calmly.

"But she doesn't want to do it herself!" Pei Ying felt that her mother was really unkind: "I think she is the most anxious." ”

"So what? Your second brother became a parent late, and most of his friends in the same class have their own children, but your second brother is still empty on his knees, and this alone is the biggest thing about her as a wife!" If it goes on like this, to say something unpleasant, if Pei Jinzhi has an accident one day, wouldn't he be completely extinct?

"It's not your sister-in-law's fault that you can't have children. Zhao's also wanted to take the opportunity to knock on his daughter: "But the matter has to be carried clearly, when she knew that her body was not easy to conceive, she should have carried someone up, whether it was to pour the concubine with shunzi soup or to take the concubine to her side to raise, it is better than being talked about now." In Zhao's opinion, even if Qiao's is really so intolerable, it's a big deal to pick two ordinary-looking ones, just decorate the façade, at least it can block people's words.

"I thought that what my mother could do, I can also do, but it seems that it is wishful thinking after all!" Qiao Sulan shed tears and lay on the bed and cried.

"What did Madame say, the second master treated you sincerely. Jiang Pei persuaded: "Actually, didn't you also try to pass the words to the second master before? The second master didn't refuse, he has been guarding you all these years, which shows his sincerity!"

Master Qiao is cowardly by nature and has no opinions, so he was naturally pinched by Mrs. Qiao in the palm of his hand, but Second Master Pei was born in the top class, learned and rich, has the ability to have wrists, and is appreciated by the prince, only he can take Qiao Sulan's share. Therefore, Jiang Pei said that his master should not have any idea of "monopoly" from the beginning, the greater the so-called expectation, the greater the disappointment, it is better not to have this kind of "delusion" from the beginning, but it will be better.

Qiao Sulan cried for a while, but she also understood in her heart that this time she had to take a concubine.

"Who do you say is good to choose?" Even though she didn't want to, Qiao Sulan still asked this sentence.

Jiang Pei thought for a while, and then said: "The candidate selected by the master must be pinched in the palm of his hand. ”

"How have you forgotten yourself, in a real way, you are the best!" said Josorland.

After Jiang Pei heard this, a touch of pink suddenly appeared on her face, and she said almost shyly: "Pei'er Xie Grandma lifts, but there is something to tell Grandma, Pei'er already has someone she likes!"

"Oh, who is it?"

"The surname is Lin, and he is the bookkeeper in the house. ”

"You girl, why didn't you say it earlier, I still take care of your marriage. Qiao Sulan's face finally showed a little smile, and there was a faint feeling of relief.

Jiang Pei smiled shyly, but his heart was tight. The master is not a generous woman, at this time she is the most useful maid around, but if she is given to the second master as a concubine, the friendship between the two is basically over, she would rather be a big girl with a face, than a concubine who is picked on by the master mother for a lifetime.

"Okay, let me think about it again!" Qiao Sulan endured her sadness and sighed fiercely.

"If the master really has this idea, then you have to hurry up, don't forget the one from [Green Bamboo Xuan]......" Jiang Pei said remindedly.

Sure enough, as soon as these words fell, Qiao Sulan's face became more and more embarrassed, she remembered the girl she had seen from afar a few months ago, she stood behind her husband like that, revealing a small half of her face, amazingly beautiful, amazingly good-looking, even when she saw it, she couldn't help but look sideways, let alone men.

"The relationship between the second master and her is different, if she becomes the second master's concubine, how can there be a place for your master in this Hou Mansion?" Jiang Pei said softly.

"I didn't think she was an eyesore, but the second master protected her like that, if I made a move, the second master would definitely have a knot with me. After the punishment a few years ago, Pei Jinzhi didn't set foot in her room for more than half a year, and since then, Qiao Sulan has been afraid of her husband.

He doesn't beat or scold, he doesn't even ask, but he just colds you.

That kind of ignorance, Qiao Sulan is really scared when she thinks about it.

"And if the second master insists on accepting her, what can I do!" Qiao Sulan said bitterly.

"The slave has a plan. ”

"Oh, come and listen. ”

"Madam, it sounds ......," Jiang Pei muttered a few words in Qiao Sulan's ear.

"W-Is this going to work?"

"Why not, the second master is the most mediocre and lustful, when he meets such a beauty, he is designated to meet the color uprising, and in the end, whether he succeeds or not, that girl is ruined. ”

Qiao Sulan's heart was drumming, and her complexion changed endlessly.

"Except for that girl, the master will choose two more honest ones to come up and serve the second master, and no one can gossip about you anymore!"

Qiao Sulan bit her mouth, and after a long time, her eyes were certain, and she only said, "Okay!

The weather was sunny and cloudless.

The clear waves are rippling, beside the turquoise pool. A slender figure was half-squatting on the edge of the pool, carrying a small basket made of bamboo strips in her hand, and was picking up something in the basket at this time.

"Asha......" In the distance, someone shouted.

Rong Xia looked back, and suddenly showed a beautiful smile, and greeted, "Sister-in-law He!"

But Jiuxiang, who has been married to He An, is undoubtedly not long after she got married, she gave birth to a fat boy with He An, and now she has become a mother.

"So you came here!" Jiuxiang shook a letter in his hand with a smile, and said with a smile: "There's a letter from Jinling, take a look." ”

Rong Xia was really surprised when he heard it, Pei Jinzhi once promised that as long as Rong Xia willingly stayed in the mansion for five years, he would let go of the identity deed of Li Niangzi and Lao Rongtou, he did it, and it didn't even take five years, Li Niang and Lao Rongtou were released from the deed and sent back to their hometown in Jinling, where they placed the land and enjoyed their old age in peace. The one who wrote the letter was Gensheng, the little grandson of the housekeeper in Jinling's old house, who is now also in school and can read and read, Rong Xia has entrusted their family to take care of their parents, and the two families are now very close. Mrs. Li often asked Xiao Gensheng to write letters back for them.

Rong Xia almost couldn't wait to tear open the envelope, and quickly browsed through the ten lines at a glance, the letter was full of trivial things in life, but there was peace and security between the lines, and it was obvious that life was very comfortable. Of course, the matter of missing Rong Xia, as well as the matter of instructing Rong Xia to serve the second young master, is also indispensable.

"What did Aunt Rong say?" asked Jiuxiang curiously.

In the letter, my mother said that she was planning to open a store in Jinling and was looking for a place. My father raised a few pots of orchids of excellent quality, and planned to make a splash at this year's Jinling Flower Show, and my sister, her condition has been greatly improved, and she is now helping her mother take care of the housework, oh, and the most important ......" Rong Xia was very happy, and a more beautiful smile bloomed on her beautiful face: "Sister Yun and Brother Zhuang have changed their surnames, and they will be surnamed Rong in the future!"

"Really, then Uncle Rong can't die of happiness, great, your old Rong family can be regarded as a successor!" Jiuxiang said with a laugh.

Lao Rongtou and Mrs. Li only have two girls, Rong Chun (Bisi) Rong Xia, and they originally planned to wait for Rong Xia to be older, and summoning a son-in-law to the door is also regarded as following the incense. Who would have thought, but things have changed in other ways. said that a few years ago, Rong Xia's sister Bisi was sold together with the other three maids for "seducing" the eldest young master, and Bisi was sold to a tea merchant surnamed Hu. Beth is beautiful, and has means, the tea merchant accepted her and liked it very much, the merchant was rich, but Bisi wore gold and silver, but it was not bad, and she was pregnant half a year after entering the door, and she was pregnant in October, and a pair of dragon and phoenix fetal daughters fell to the ground.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have good and bad luck.

The tea merchant unfortunately encountered a horse thief on the way to buy goods, and even explained all the goods and people.

After the death of the tea merchant, the situation of the mother and son began to plummet, the mother and mother were powerful, and they had long been unaccustomed to the warbler Yanyan in that yard. The mother and son were swept out of the house without a penny.

How difficult it is for Bess, a weak woman, to support a pair of childish children. I really endured all the hardships, I had to do all the dirty work, and the whole person's body collapsed in the first half of the year, fortunately, at this time, Pei Jinzhi sent someone to arrive and pulled the mother and daughter back from the death line.

Rong Xia's family simply doesn't know how to thank for this, it's a great kindness!

Pei Jinzhi not only saved the three mothers and daughters of Bisi back, but also released the deed of Mrs. Li and Lao Rongtou, and asked them to send them to settle in their hometown in Jinling.

In this regard, Rong Xia is a thousand and ten thousand grateful, and he only wants to repay Pei Jinzhi's kindness.

"The second young master is really good to you!" Jiuxiang said with feeling.

"I know. Rong Xia thought silently.

He was very nice to me.
