Chapter 80: Covetous
At this moment, unspeakable emotions surged in his heart. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info a heart that was originally extremely filial, seemed to be torn apart, and tears finally broke down. For the first time since he turned fifteen, he had fallen into tears, and it was the first time he had been so depressed.
However, this is also the last time!
His steps became cheerful, and his hunched back straightened.
From now on, he will take the painting brocade as an example to learn, work hard, and bravely face all the tribulations in life!

Aunt Liu was promoted to a noble concubine, and she was suddenly arrogant, only feeling that she had a bright future and was full of head. For a while, it was inevitable to be a little arrogant, and inadvertently, she also put on a posture of being a housewife.
An's was a little uneasy, and his confidence was not very strong.
However, in the eyes of Oriental Painting, Aunt Liu is a clown who jumps off the beam.
On this day, Oriental Painting Brocade went to Anyuanbo Mansion to visit his mother.
In the garden, I met Aunt Liu on a narrow road.
Oriental painting brocade turned a blind eye and walked straight forward.
Aunt Liu stopped her, and shouted loudly, "Hey, isn't this the fifth girl?" Why, when you see your elders, you are so rude? Hum! I don't know how An's educated his children! ”
Dongfang Huajin glanced at her sharply: "Elder? This is really a big joke, but it's just a concubine who can't be on the stage! ”
Aunt Liu's face was full of arrogance: "I am now a noble concubine, but ordinary concubines can't compare, and I also have my place in the genealogy of the Dongfang family!" ”
Oriental Painting brocade sneered: "Concubine? No matter how expensive a concubine is, it is also a concubine! ”
Seeing her face full of dissatisfaction, Dongfang Huajin said again: "How to write the word concubine?" A woman who stands upright is a woman who stands upright and can't act casually! ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt, and Aunt Liu was shocked.
A woman standing?!
The heart of Oriental Painting Brocade finally fell to the ground.
It turned out that the status of the noble concubine she had worked so hard to obtain was so lowly in the eyes of Dongfang Xiaocao!
Thinking about Dongfang Zhongzhong's indifference, even disgust with her, as well as the daughter who could only play with her thoughts, and the son who disobeyed her more and more, Aunt Liu only felt a hopelessness in her heart.
Noble concubine, it seems that there is really nothing to be proud of?
But so what?! No! I'm not reconciled, I'm Liu Jasmine, I will never admit defeat like this! When I was in the northwest, I was hindered by the identity of a concubine, and I was not familiar with the place, and I had no connections, so I couldn't take the loyalty of the An family and the East. Now, now that she has returned to the capital, with the help of the old lady and the help of her mother's family, she still doesn't believe it, and she can't fight the stupid An family!
An's, you practitioner! If you are still the same as before, keep to yourself, and don't compete with me, I can still spare your life! Now, I'm sorry, you go die! Hurry up and give up your wife's position, I'll be grateful to you!
You have to die, the position of the wife, it must be mine!
Liu Jasmine gritted her teeth, her face full of hideousness.
When the maid next to her saw it, she couldn't help but be frightened.
It's really unlucky, how can you be assigned to this person's side and serve this person?
As soon as she returned to the capital, the people who served Liu Jasmine were completely replaced by the Pan family.

An Shi took Dongfang Huajin's hand and handed her a small box with a lock: "Open it and take a look." ”
Dongfang Huajin took the box and opened it suspiciously: "Mother, why are there so many silver tickets?" "A box full of silver tickets, all of them have a denomination of one hundred taels, and after a rough estimate, there should be thirty thousand taels, right?
An smiled proudly: "At the beginning, I raised 10,000 chickens, 10,000 ducks, and 10,000 geese, and sold them during the locust plague, and sold them for a total of 15,000 taels of silver. After the cost, there were thirteen thousand taels of silver, and that was not counting the other harvests in the grange. When he left, he sold the grange again, and transferred it together with the long-term workers who raised chickens, ducks, and geese in the grange, and got another 10,000 taels of silver. Before the locust plague, 30,000 catties of grain were hoarded in the grange, which earned more than 10,000 taels of silver! ”
As the wife of the county magistrate and a conscientious person, she did not raise prices after the locust plague. Other grain shops sold a pound of grain for one or two pieces of silver, but she only sold it for 300 yuan, not to mention, and even took out 5,000 catties of grain and set up a big pot of soup porridge to help those poor families who really had no rice to cook.
Dongfang Huajin asked tentatively: "Mother, don't you give these silver coins to your father?" ”
An's face was full of firmness: "No, I earned these silver money myself, or you earned it, what are you doing?" Give it to him, and let him take my money and raise a concubine? ”
Dongfang Huajin made persistent efforts: "But, isn't he ignoring those concubines now?" ”
An sneered: "Not now, but who knows if there will be one in the future?" If you don't have a concubine, you can still keep an outer room, and you can also play with women outside. Besides, he doesn't look down on Liu and Li now, maybe it's because these two are not young and beautiful. If someone gives him a stunning beauty, and he has a lot of money in his hand, do you think he can still bear to be an ornament? ”
After speaking, he sighed deeply: "This man, there are few who are not stealing, and there are few who are affectionate." Xiaocao, in this life, except for your five sisters and brothers, my mother doesn't dare to count on anyone, and no one will believe it! ”
Sometimes, she also knows that maybe she is thinking too much. Perhaps, the husband has indeed changed his mind and is indeed devoted to him. However, after all kinds of ups and downs, she was indeed tired and afraid. Thinking about the past ten years, she still has lingering palpitations and shudders.
She felt that it was not too much to maliciously guess Dongfang's loyalty.
Man does not perish for his own sake. With this sentence, she suddenly had a deep feeling.
In the second half of her life, except for her five children, she will never give her heart again. She is extremely firm that the reason why her husband will "change his mind" is only because her daughter Xiaocao now has great ability.
For her husband, she will not stumble, he wants to take a concubine, he wants to raise an outer room, she will not stop him. It's just that she won't be like in the past, stupidly using her dowry to make up for it, so that when it's time to go to the northwest, she has little left of her dowry, even if she can't afford it.
In the days to come, she will not take the initiative to block him, she will quietly do her best and keep her due duty. Everything, let it be, and laugh at what he did without endangering the interests and lives of her and her children.
Oriental painting brocade breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone that pressed on his heart was quietly unloaded.
That's it! As long as the mother is no longer obsessed with the father, no longer stupid, and regards him as the sky everywhere, that's good! In this way, the mother will not practice herself, let alone let her grandmother and father, and even the concubine practice herself.
I am afraid that the crack in my heart has been there for a long time. Otherwise, her mother would not really listen to her, hold her dowry tightly in her hands, and no longer make up for her father at will, let alone her father's concubine.
Alas, this person, if he really doesn't suffer a big loss, he will always not really grow up, and he will not have a transparent heart. The eyes can only see what they want to see, and deliberately ignore some very important details.
Dongfang Huajin asked as if unintentionally: "What are the plans of the three concubines and concubines?" ”
An gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "The seventh looks okay, so he will be sent to the academy; The fourth girl and the tenth girl, just stay at home and learn to be a girl! ”
Lao Qi refers to Dongfang Qin, the fourth girl refers to Oriental peony, and the tenth girl refers to Oriental narcissus. Oriental painting brocade is five girls, and Yunjin is nine girls. Xun Feng is the sixth young master, and Ye Mao is the tenth young master.
Hearing this, Dongfang Huajin nodded with satisfaction: "Mother's idea is good, but my daughter thinks that it is not very appropriate to send Lao Qi to the academy, so it is better to find him a master and teach him well at home." ”
An Shi was very puzzled: "Painting brocade, it is much more expensive to ask for a good master alone than to send it to the academy, right?" Invite a master at random, not to mention that your father will not agree, even your grandmother will definitely not give up! ”
Anyway, you have to hire a decent master, right?
If you send it to a college to go to school, even if it is a good academy, it is only twenty taels of silver a year, and if you hire a master with good knowledge, you will not have a hundred taels a year, which will definitely not work.
Dongfang Huajin waved his hand: "Mother, now we don't lack that little bit of silver, even if my father doesn't have it, it's a big deal for my mother to take out this money!" It's not that I always invite him at home, but I just invite one and two a year, let that master teach Dongfang Qin a little more decently, and then send him to the academy! ”
An Shi was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Xiaocao, what does this mean?" Why don't you understand? ”
Dongfang Huajin lowered his voice and patiently explained: "Let's find a two-list jinshi, who is more upright, more pedantic, and more severe." Such a master will inevitably be very strict with his students, and will teach them to be loyal and patriotic, affectionate and righteous, and well-behaved. In the future, even if Dongfang Qin's temperament will not change greatly, it will be greatly affected, and he will not regard us as a thorn in the flesh in the future. ”
That's right, she didn't want to raise this cousin, and she didn't have the ability to do it. After all, Dongfang Qindu is so big, how easy is it to raise crookedness? Her purpose has never been to harm people, just a little more precautionary.
She smiled faintly, looked down at the teacup in her hand, and hid all those thousands of thoughts.
Father, all I can say is I'm sorry! Although you and my mother are not my real parents, between my mother and you, I still have to choose my mother!
Throughout the ages, women have had a harder time than men. What's more, father, you have so many criminal records, but your mother has always been very virtuous and obedient. I am on my mother's side and planning for her, that is inevitable!

Song Ruhui, who is more than three years old, is smart and cute, as soon as she speaks, her voice is soft and glutinous, her voice is milky, and how the yellow warbler comes out of the valley, it is very good. In addition, people look very cute, small glutinous rice dumplings, beautiful and cute little faces, a pair of beautiful big eyes, and apricot eyes when they laugh, like the crescent moon of the moon and a half, which makes people can't help but be full of joy when they see it.
Song Ci especially likes this daughter, and really treats her as a baby.
In the evening of this day, he stepped into the gate of Huali Villa on time, came to the garden, and walked briskly on the boulevard with his wife and children to exercise.
Every evening, Oriental Painting Brocade has to take away its children and walk for half an hour. The task of the three younger siblings is to jog for half an hour. The children were still too young, jogging for half an hour, and the amount of exercise was too much.
As in the past, Song Ci took Song Ruhui and walked in front. Along the way, Song Ruhui chattered and reported to her father about the interesting people and things that had come down that day.
Song Ci always nodded with a smile, and from time to time, he should have a sentence or two.
The atmosphere is very harmonious and warm.
Dongfang Huajin took his son Changhui and was about ten steps behind, and the mother and son walked calmly and leisurely, maintaining the same rhythm. From time to time, they will talk a few words, and most of them are Oriental painting brocades to answer questions for their son.
Occasionally, Song Ci would look back, his face full of concern and tenderness.
In front of the children, Oriental Painting Brocade will also give him a little thin noodles, and when he is in a good mood, he will return a shallow smile. The face is very calm and calm, but the heart is not so calm.
Before I knew it, such days passed in a flash, as if a year had passed. Today, she is used to it, and if Song Ci doesn't come one day, she will be a little absent-minded.
Time, it's really scary! It seems that there is nothing that cannot be changed.
Half an hour was up, and when the walk was over, the children cheered, stepped on the green lawn, aimed at the Keju that had been placed long ago, and kicked far away.
Song Ci walked up naturally and played with the children, and the father and son stood in one direction and had a lot of fun.
Dongfang Huajin sat on a chair on the edge of the grass, smiling and looking at the children playing happily, and his mood became happy.
She couldn't help but smile, a beautiful little face, shining.
After a long distance, Song Ci, who had excellent eyesight, saw it, and only felt that it was incomparably beautiful and vivid, so that he couldn't take his eyes off.
Her smile can always easily impress him. She is not a beauty, but in his eyes, no one can match her, and she has a different kind of attraction that seduces people.
Those flowers and plants in the past, even if they were beauties who captivated the country and the city, at this moment, there was no trace in his mind. What those women looked like in the past, even if he deliberately thought about it, he couldn't even remember a few. Even those who can think of it have a vague and blurred face.
His heart is all occupied by oriental paintings.
Facing his affectionate gaze, Dongfang Huajin's heart was entangled.
Alas, what should she do, her eyesight should be so good? If you can't see his expression clearly, his affection, she treats him coldly and ignores him, can she feel at ease?
As a woman from the 21st century, her pride and dignity do not allow her to eat back grass, do not allow her to accept Song Ci, do not allow her to fall in love with him and share the bed with him. Even if she was in and out of the pair with him, allowing him to enter and leave Huali Villa and eat at the same table with her, in fact, her heart was also very entangled.
However, the reality is harsh. Song Cigui is the high King of Qin, this father, the children are very needed. Otherwise, if a pair of children want to gain a foothold in this society, the road ahead will be full of thorns, and even there will be worries about their lives.
Without Song Ci's attention and closeness, his future princesses and children, as well as those villains who are accustomed to stepping on low and praising high, where will they let Changhui and Ruhui go?
Also, push him away and resolutely give up on him, where will she find a good man who can be with her for the rest of her life? Qi Fuzi? It seems that this person is not her ideal candidate for a good husband, and he has no resistance to a man's concubine.
Alas, the world is difficult, and life is unsatisfactory, eight or nine times out of ten. Escaping is never a good idea. In this way, the only way to move forward is to move forward step by step!
******
Jin Guogong accepted the two beauties transferred by Song Ci, and used the two in a row that night, and he was really satisfied with Song Ci's wife and nephew!
He reciprocated the favor by repaying the favor, and he understood Song Ci's intentions, and reprimanded Song Yan fiercely: "You idiot, don't you know that in King Qin's heart, there is only one Jinxiu Xiangjun now?" In the future, if you dare to send a woman to the Qin Palace, you will wait to take the letter of resignation and return to your parents' house! ”
"You, you, you are ruthless and unjust!" Song Yan was so angry that she was smoking, pointing at her handsome and charming husband with her finger, her heart was full of pathos, and her heart was about to break. At the end, he asked unwillingly: "Mo Fei, aren't you afraid of King Qin?" If you dare to divorce me, believe it or not, King Qin will definitely make you look good! ”
In the past, if she moved out of the King of Qin to threaten, her husband would always give in, and for the next ten days and half a month, she didn't dare to pamper her concubine too much, and she would rest in her room every once in a while, and love her hard.
However, today she miscalculated, a big miscalculation!
Jin Guogong snorted coldly, and looked at her for a long time: "Yo! Threatened King Qin again? I'm not afraid to tell you, I would have been really scared, very scared! King Qin is a famous general, and he is also His Majesty's most trusted and relied on imperial brother, and his own ability and courage are unmatched in the four seas. If he is concerned, who can be bad? I'm afraid that even if it's a person, I'll be afraid! ”
"It's good to know!" Song Yan smiled smugly.
However, Jin Guogong changed his words: "However, now I am really not very afraid." At the very least, as long as I don't target King Qin and don't do anything to be sorry for him, I won't be afraid. ”
Speaking of this, he glanced at his wife coldly, and said with a smile: "This, I really have to thank Madame, if you didn't want to meddle in King Qin's back house and forcibly send a concubine to him, I'm afraid that in this life, I will have to be a man with my tail between my legs in front of you, and I don't dare to offend you easily, so as not to be settled by King Qin's autumn queen!" It's good now, if you do this, even if I anger you in the future, King Qin is afraid that he will not be the master for you! ”
When Song Yan heard this, she couldn't help but be so angry that she was almost choked by her own saliva!
So, she's shooting herself in the foot?!
I kindly gave my nephew a beauty, but I even sent a disaster?!
"Master, you, you can't be so ruthless to me! In the heart of the concubine's body, love has made you miserable, and without your love, the concubine body can't live! ”
Song Yan looked up at Jin Guogong, and looked at the handsome and upright man in front of her, and her heart suddenly became a pot of porridge. I couldn't care about any face and reserve anymore, so I hurriedly put down the figure of the royal county lord who had been holding it all along, and bowed low and made it small, trying to impress people with affection.
"Well, in this way, be obedient in the future, and don't make King Qin unhappy again!" Jin Guogong nodded with satisfaction, very proud in his heart.
In the future, you don't have to be cautious with your wife! If you want to sleep with a concubine, go and sleep with a concubine; If you want to play Oiran, play Oiran! It's not a wonderful day!
Hey, hey, hey! God is really good for me!
******
On this day, Huali Mountain Resort welcomed a group of guests.
Dongfang Zhongzhong brought his wife and children to the eldest daughter's house as a guest.
came with three concubines and concubines.
Dongfang Huajin couldn't help frowning, and there was a little displeasure between his eyebrows.
She, a cheap father, is really not very reliable, and it's no wonder that even the cheap mother is on guard against him.
Okay, what are you doing with the three of you? Seeing these three people, Oriental Painting Brocade felt that it was blocked, and there was really no way to have no mustard at all.
Sure enough, there is a reason not to like it.
The thirteen-year-old Oriental Narcissus saw the heroic and handsome Song Ci, and immediately secretly agreed. A pair of beautiful big eyes are about to stick to Song Ci's body, and the tenderness and sweetness in his eyes are not hidden at all.
Dongfang Qin stood next to his sister, and when he saw her like this, he only felt extremely embarrassed, and he wished that he didn't have this sister.
Song Ci noticed it, and immediately gave her a ruthless eye knife. Without a trace, he glanced at Dongfang Zhongzhong, as if to blame him for being troubled, and actually brought such a shameless person to him.
Dongfang Narcissus shrank his neck in fright, and quickly lowered his eyes, not daring to stare at him anymore.
Dongfang Zhongzhong's heart jumped suddenly, and he immediately regretted it.
