Chapter 41: Favored Concubines
Although Mrs. Li is also dissatisfied with her son marrying the daughter of a poor ghost family, even if this daughter is beautiful, she doesn't like it, after all, she thinks differently from her son, in her opinion, beautiful and can't be eaten, but she saw Mrs. Zhou greet her with a smile, as the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling person, Mrs. Li is not easy to shake her face, otherwise others will say that she is herself.

So when she saw Mrs. Zhou greeting her affectionately, she also greeted her affectionately, and said with a smile: "My wife is very good." ”
The two greeted each other all the way into the second gate.
When Mu Hibiscus went in with Mrs. Zhou, he found that there was a beautiful woman in full costume who was there like a butterfly wearing flowers and greeting guests, and many people who didn't know each other like Mu Hibiscus were there to inquire about the identity of this woman, after all, Mrs. Zhou only had two sons, and the second son Zhou Tao married the county lord of Dezhao, and the county lord of Dezhao had passed away, that is to say, there was no master mother in the second room, so who is this woman who entertains guests like a host and dresses as a woman?
Someone asked, someone answered, and someone who knew him solved Mu Hibiscus's confusion at the moment, and a lady smiled and said: "It's Aunt Bai in the second room, the lord didn't continue the string on Tuesday, and everything in the backyard is handled by this Aunt Bai, who is the most capable and can speak well, so in general, she will help the eldest lady deal with it." ”
Only then did Mu Hibiscus understand who the woman was, and it turned out to be the favorite concubine of the second room.
Hibiscus has traveled through eight years, and lives in the circle of high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing, although it was not a big girl ring before, and failed to follow Mrs. Li to various families to banquets, many people do not know, but have not seen, and have heard ah, naturally know a lot of things in this circle, plus some time ago the Li family and the Zhou family married, the situation of the Zhou family, I understand in more detail, I know that although the lord did not continue the string on Tuesday, but there are also two men and two women, the most favored is this Aunt Bai, and she gave birth to two men and a girl, and a daughter, was born to another aunt, that aunt is the lord of Dezhao County, because she was pregnant with a child, she opened her face around her, and the lord of Tuesday, only the aunt was unlucky, After the death of the county lord of Dezhao, she gave birth to a child, leaving only a girl, but she went, and now the child is raised by Aunt Bai, it is said that although she is a motherless concubine, but because Aunt Bai is very good to her, her character is not cowering because of the death of her biological mother, on the contrary, she is a little rude and willful, very unlikable, not as good as Aunt Bai's daughter, well-behaved and sensible.
Not long after, the host of today's banquet, Zhou Wanru, the mother of Tuesday, came out accompanied by the maid-in-law.
Although the Zhou family is down, today is a good day for Zhou Wanru, so she is still dressed up brilliantly, plus she looks good, and her appearance is terrifying.
Mu Hibiscus saw that Zhou Wanru was so beautiful, and secretly said No wonder Young Master Li wanted to marry, although the wife and concubine were beautiful, it didn't matter if the wife was beautiful or not, as long as the concubine was good-looking, but that was when the wife couldn't marry a beautiful woman, she comforted herself like that, if she could marry such a beauty, who wouldn't want a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine?
The two girls who accompanied her were also very beautiful, one was dressed in beads and rings, very rich, and one was a little younger with only a small bead hairpin on her head, dressed very plainly, only the little girl looked good-looking, dressed like this, but looked very elegant and moving, but compared with the little girl who was dressed up very rich.
"Who are those two girls?" asked the guests they didn't know.
"The big one is the second room Wednesday Niang, the one whose biological mother passed away in childbirth, and the younger one is Aunt Bai's daughter, Thursday Niang. "There is a familiar humanity.
"Why is it that the own girl is dressed so plainly, but the Wednesday girl is so good?" someone asked incomprehensibly.
The person who knew said: "The three girls are very fond of Aunt Bai, Aunt Bai treats her well, so she dresses up decently, as for the fourth girl, it is not that Aunt Bai treats her daughter harshly, according to her, because this girl in her family is a strange character, she doesn't love those vulgar things, so she has never dressed up much, she can't force her to wear gold and silver." -- Tell me that those who don't dress up look much better than those who love to dress up. ”
Called Mu Hibiscus said, that Wednesday Niang was actually a little brainless, at her cousin, Zhou Wanru, the daughter of the long house, and the banquet, she was dressed more rich than this master, isn't this stealing the limelight? Didn't you see her cousin looking at her dress, her face was already very bad? But no matter how rich she was dressed, she was not as rich as Zhou Zhou Niang, and she also fell Zhou Wanru's dislike, but she was not brainless?
Didn't I hear that the Zhou family implements court (competition for favor) education for girls? It stands to reason that everyone should be a little expert in house fighting, and they shouldn't be so stupid, just like the four girls, they are very smart, and they are obviously dressed plainly, but because they can dress, and then the makeup is also good, they will compare the other Zhou family girls to all the others, although they have stolen the limelight from others, others can't say anything, after all, she is dressed so plainly, how can others say about her?
Only Mu Hibiscus, who is good at makeup, knows that the other girls are not defeated in appearance, but the makeup skills are not as good as the four girls, just like the white aunt, the makeup skills are also very good, anyway, they are better than the other women on the scene, making her look glamorous, and the makeup on the faces of the four girls, I don't know if it was taught by Aunt Bai or made by Aunt Bai herself.
Speaking of which, Wednesday Niang is so blatant to steal the limelight, she is stupid, she doesn't know, it stands to reason, Aunt Bai should know this truth, I don't know why she didn't remind Wednesday Niang, after all, isn't it said that she loves Wednesday Niang very much?
However, as an outsider, she doesn't understand the situation, so it's not easy to speculate.
Zhou Wanru's mood is indeed very bad, originally, it is annoying enough to book a poor family affair like her own family, but at her own banquet, Zhou Xinru (Wednesday's mother's name) The slut still dares to dress so well and steal her limelight, does this make her feel good?
"The third lady is too disagreeable, how can this be!" Zhou Wanru's maid was upset for her in early summer, and said.
"She loves to die, you care about her, according to her character, she will marry someone in the future, and see who will bear it. Zhou Wanru said coldly.
"Aunt Bai spoiled her too much, what did she spoil her. "I can't help but mutter in early summer.
This time, Zhou Wanru didn't answer again.
Oh, God knows whether to spoil her or harm her, spoiling a concubine into such a character who doesn't know the height of the sky, and being a concubine in the future, which housewife or male owner has suffered such a concubine? To be a housewife, which mother-in-law has suffered such a rude and willful daughter-in-law?
Another humane: "Didn't you hear that the Zhou Mansion was down? The second girl is the protagonist today, plus she is from a big house, and she has some money, so it is normal to be able to dress up brilliantly, so why is it that a concubine in the second room is so rich and rich?"
