Chapter 638: Is it feasible to marry and love freely?
Besides, looking at Steward Zhou, whose face changed slightly, he understood that what Chunhua and Qiuyue said was true.
He sneered: "This matter is postponed for the time being, first show me the list you have drawn up, and report to me later on things like this, I will let you do it, and you will do it again." ”
"Master, this matter can't be delayed." Steward Zhou was in a hurry and blurted out.
"Why can't you slow down? Does what I say not count? "Besides, the anger is surging, and I really don't take him seriously.
"No, of course the master's words count, but these girls have reached the age of marriage, and if they are delayed, it will be delayed." Steward Zhou hurriedly argued.
"What if you delay for a year or two, will you die?" Besides, he sneered.
"Of course not, what do you say, sir, you ...... What do you old man say? Steward Zhou broke out in a cold sweat, a little incoherent, she understood that she was too reckless, no matter how old she was, the master was the master, and it was definitely not something she could refute in public.
The maids standing on both sides covered their mouths and snickered, they all hated this mean housekeeper Zhou. Besides, the maids around him are not bad, but those who don't match the owners of the house are miserable, and almost all of them have been abused by this Steward Zhou.
There are naturally news circulation channels between the maids, and slowly everyone knows that this Steward Zhou was also a beauty when he was young, and he was used by the old man, but he failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter, and he failed to become the master.
But after all, the old man had a lot of affection for her back then, and the lady still took good care of her, and promoted both of them to be housekeepers. Mainly because she was a very popular maid by Mrs. Tai's side back then.
Steward Zhou was not assigned to Besides, she only started to be powerful here, she was favored by Mrs. Tai, everyone knew that she was a celebrity around Mrs. Tai, and she was a so-called talkative person, so she had to let her.
Mrs. Tai knew that she didn't like to be in charge, and she was afraid that the people below the house would not be easy to manage, so she specially sent her over.
It is precisely because of the support of Mrs. Tai that Steward Zhou really didn't take the situation too seriously, after all, even the Marquise was very polite to her, not to mention that the new master was a little hairy child.
But now that she understood that she was wrong, she instantly remembered some of the things circulating in Nanjing, and she thought that it must be exaggerated and untrue rumors, but now she believes it a little.
Moreover, she understands that her status in Mrs. Tai's heart is no one can compare, and her favor is not as good as a weed.
She took a small step to fetch the list of the boys who had been betrothed to the boys, presented it to the boy with both hands, and then stood below with trepidation.
Besides, he saw that there were many familiar names on it, and although he had not spent much time here, he had also met many people, many of whom he had seen sick.
There were really three people in the list who were in his personal ring, and he ticked off the names of these three rings.
It is impossible to change the rules of Yahuan with a boy, after all, these people do not have the right to love freely, and there is no such environment, if it is a private love, tryst and private appointment, not only violates etiquette but also violates family rules, and it will be severely punished. All he can do is to protect these rings around him first.
Assigned to his room, there are a total of eighteen maids who serve him, ranging from twenty to fourteen years old.
At that time, there was no legal age for marriage, and there was no law on the protection of minors, and eleven or twelve-year-old children could also be married, that is, the so-called child daughter-in-law.
I think that the eldest grandson of Tang Taizong Li Shimin officially married him when he was thirteen years old, of course, Li Shimin was not big at that time.
Although child marriage exists, and is even prevalent in many places, according to the general practice, it is only a nominal marriage, and it is not until the age of fifteen or sixteen, or even eighteen, that the marriage is officially consummated.
Besides, after a deep sigh, it seems that Steward Zhou still has some scruples, and he didn't do things too well, at least he didn't put Chunhua on the list, as for her real intentions, she didn't bother to guess.
"These maids around me should not be listed on the list of promising boys in the future." Besides, return the list to Steward Zhou.
"The master is going to take them." Steward Zhou opened his mouth wide.
Didn't you say that the old man doesn't like women, why did he suddenly have such a big appetite and want to use all the rings around him? That's eighteen rings, and there are from fourteen to twenty years old, which is too eclectic.
Steward Zhou will be wrong for a while.
She was just surprised, and she had no opinion on this, not to mention these eighteen maid rings, even if she took in the hundreds of maid rings outside, it was also the master's own business, and she couldn't care about it at all.
She just sighed in her heart, it seems that there is no hope for Qiuyue's affairs, she doesn't know how to comfort her nephew after she goes back, it is estimated that the muddy boy will make a big fuss again, and then go out to make a mess for a few days, causing a bunch of messes waiting for the couple to clean up.
The maids standing on both sides were all happy, but they couldn't help but bow their heads or turn their heads, shy.
"You think too much, I just don't want them to be casually married to the boys of the outer house like you, they have to ask them about their own wishes after marriage, and only if they agree, they can be married, and they must be agreed by me."
Besides, as soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
The expressions of the girls turned from joy to extreme disappointment, it turned out that the master still wanted to marry them.
These people who were assigned to the room were full of longing and ambition in their hearts, and they wanted to fly on the branches and turn the sparrow into a phoenix. Once you enter the room, the change in status is needless to say, the key is to win the dream lover of this girl, that is the phoenix of the phoenix.
Steward Zhou was even more shocked, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
Besides, if she plans to use these rings by herself, she has nothing to say, but he actually wants them to marry as she wishes, which is too sensational, how can there be such a reason in the world?
These maids are basically born in the family, which means that their parents are all descendants of the Marquis's Mansion, and even the parents of their parents are also in this capacity.
Of course, such a family child has no independent personal rights, but he can get a lot of extra care in the house, and he is regarded as his own family, and those who bought the girl ring boy are slightly inferior.
"Master, this can't work, how can this work." Steward Zhou was speechless and began to refute it again.
"Why not, you tell me the truth here."
"When men and women get married, what they pay attention to outside is three media and six certificates, the order of their parents, people like ours pay attention to the master's marriage, how can there be any reason to act according to their own wishes?" Steward Zhou said hurriedly.
"Master and son are married? That means it's mine. Besides, he laughed.
"That's true, but they can't do it as they wish." Steward Zhou only woke up to a truth at this time, no matter what, the power is still in her hands, not in her hands at all.
"Since I have the final say, I will give them this right." Besides.
"This is not good, this is not in line with etiquette, and it is not in line with the rules."
"Then you are in line with etiquette and rules when you refute me in public?" Moreover, the voice was accentuated.
"No, don't dare, the little ones don't dare."
Steward Zhou hurriedly bent down, his head almost hanging to his toes. She also understood, besides, this was deliberately using her to make a raft, and she didn't know what she wanted to do. Either way, she might be really out of luck.
"Sister Zhou won't mean this, you're wrong to blame her." Xiao Nier, who was sitting next to her, only spoke at this time.
She knew that Steward Zhou was a celebrity beside Mrs. Tai, and she didn't want to embarrass her too much, otherwise Mrs. Tai would not be able to explain there.
It is said that these things should have been handled by Xiao Nier, the male protagonist is outside the female protagonist, and the male protagonist generally ignores the affairs of the inner house, but she has a different concept, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with Steward Zhou's doing this, it is nothing more than adulteration of fake public and private ingredients, and she wants to forcibly marry Qiu Yue to her nephew.
"Thank you, ma'am." Steward Zhou hurriedly saluted.
"Since I am still the head of the family in this family, I will do what I say, and as long as I am in the house in the future, everything will be shown to me first, and I will do it after I approve it." Besides, he waved her down.
Steward Zhou's mind was buzzing, and he couldn't think of anything for a while, so he had to bow and retreat again, and after going out, he was caught by the wind, only to find that his clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
She still can't figure out what she did wrong, even if she wants to marry Qiu Yue to her nephew, it's not a big problem, her nephew is also a family child, and he deserves this right.
Of course, she should indeed give the list to the list, at least she should show Xiao Nier, but everyone knows that these two people are two sitting Buddhas, and they don't care about things at all.
She shook her head, although she couldn't disobey the words of the matter, she still felt that the marriage of those maids he said should obey their own wishes was too inconsistent with the rules, if they did this in the future, then it would be repaid, wouldn't it be a family will not be a family, a government will not be a house, and a country will not be a country?
"Two."
She cursed in her heart, thinking that it was Chunhua Qiuyue who had slandered her in front of her, causing her to be reprimanded and humiliated in front of so many people today, which was a humiliation she had never suffered.
She thought of the two favored girls in spring and autumn, and suddenly thought of her flowery years.
At that time, she was not the same as these two girls, or even more favored, at that time, the old man loved her very much, she slept with the old man for more than three years, but the old man was too old at the time, and he couldn't let her give birth to a boy and half a girl, and as soon as the old man died, her good life came to an end. The past is unbearable, but it is still vivid.
When there is no girl, when there is no favor, let's ride a donkey to read the record book, and we'll see.
Steward Zhou couldn't swallow this breath, she stomped her little foot and went inside to find Mrs. Tai to comment.
