Chapter 104: To marry a concubine or not to marry?

This is the second time Jiang Li has met Mrs. Fan, Meng. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Thinking of her friendship with her mother Mei, Jiang Li entered generously, and after saluting, he calmly sat in front of Meng Shi, who was dressed in homely clothes.

Jiang Li has met the three brothers of the Fan family, and the Meng family, who can give birth to three sons with different personalities and temperaments, also makes Jiang Li very curious.

Meng's disc has a big face, slightly yellow skin, and still looks sophisticated and shrewd, but compared to the appearance when he met in a hurry at the silk shop three years ago, he looks a little older and blessed, and there are more fine lines at the corners of his eyes and mouth.

She greeted Jiang Li with the kind and kind appearance of an elder, her words were soft, her face was warm, and she cast her inquiring eyes on Fan Sicheng's face from time to time, Fan Sicheng gave her mother a look, shook her head slightly and withdrew.

Jiang Li looked at the expressions of the mother and son coldly, and Fan Sicheng stopped talking all the way, thinking that what their mother and son said was to talk to themselves, and this expression was clearly calculated.

"I asked you to come here because I have a difficult matter to ask for your meaning." Meng Shi opened his mouth, with a reluctant expression.

And so it was! Jiang Li raised his eyebrows and waited quietly for Meng Shi to continue.

Meng Shi stared at Jiang Li's face and said word by word: "If I make the decision to marry Sicheng, are you willing or not?" ”

In this era, it is normal for a man to marry three wives and four concubines, and this Mrs. Fan, Meng Shi, does not let her man marry a concubine, but she asks Jiang Li such a question. Jiang wanted to laugh, but his expression was dull.

Seeing Jiang Li's expression as consistent and always cold, Meng Shi's eyes were full of surprise when he looked at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li didn't say whether he wanted to or not, put down the tea in his hand, took the handkerchief handed by the pothos and wiped his lips, and said lightly: "Don't mention this question first, I want to hear Aunt Meng talk about my mother." ”

Meng said: "You look exactly like your mother when she was young, and seeing you reminds me of when we were young. At that time, your mother and I were just like you now, at the prime of our youth, and we have always been good friends who talk about everything since we met. ”

Meng Shi talked about her past with Mei's family, smiling warmly like a spring breeze, and had a tone of wanting to have a long talk with Jiang Li.

Whether in the past life or in this life, Jiang Li has no clear memory of his biological mother, and now that Meng Shi mentions her biological mother again, Jiang Li suddenly became interested, and his cold expression became a little warmer.

"Aunt Meng, what kind of person do you think my mother is? Uh, I mean temperament. Jiang Li has always wanted to find someone to ask this question.

Meng Shi stared at Jiang Li's face, thought for a moment, and his sophisticated and shrewd eyes became more and more kind because of the smile, "Your mother is a reasonable, gentle, and beautiful woman, just like you are now. ”

Jiang Li shook his head, "Aunt Meng mistook Jiang Li, I am completely different from my mother, and I am not ready to follow her example and be a reasonable, gentle and graceful woman." ”

Jiang Li's expression of wanting to smile or not: "If you want to learn, I should also learn from an elder like Aunt Meng, the reason is self-evident, look at the ending of my mother's life compared to you now, do you think I should answer yes or no?" ”

Meng was stunned.

Jiang Li glanced at Meng: "Since Aunt Meng said that she had talked to my mother about everything before, I believe that after my father married Aunt Zhao, what kind of life my mother lived, as well as the pain in her heart over the years, you should also know it." But I can also understand you, you yourself have the grace of your husband all your life, but you must hope that your son will have three wives and four concubines. The position of being a wife and being a mother is different, and the consideration for others is also different. ”

Meng Shi was stunned again, and he already looked a little embarrassed.

After the embarrassment, he was a little gloomy, his voice was dry, and his smile was a little fake: "It stands to reason that I don't have to ask you such a question in advance." First, I also think that your mother and I used to be good sisters. Second, Sicheng repeatedly asked me to ask for your opinion first, saying that he could only accept a concubine if you agreed. My own son knows for himself that he has real feelings for you and doesn't want you to be unhappy. As a mother, I don't want to see him unhappy. But it's not good if this concubine doesn't accept it, and this is also what your Jiang family means, so that's why I am embarrassed, don't I come to you to discuss. ”

What does the Jiang family mean? Jiang Li was a little frightened, would his family still have such a strange request? It is said that if there is a mother's family who can speak, even the in-laws will have to reproach the aunt if they want to raise a concubine, like the woman who has not yet entered the in-laws' house, but hopes that the uncle will accept the concubine as soon as possible?

Meng Shi looked at Jiang Li's bewildered face, and said with a slight surprise: "How do you think you mean that you don't know at all?" Didn't the Jiang family give you some news beforehand? ”

Jiang Li looked back at Xiaoxiang and Lupoth, Luluo was as dazed as Jiang Li, Xiaoxiang said: "During this time, we went out early and returned late every day, except for the workshop, Jin Ju never came back after listening to the girl's orders, and we didn't know anything about the news at home." ”

"It's no wonder," Meng sighed, "In a hurry, it's a matter that damages the Jiang family's face, and the old lady doesn't take it seriously, so she doesn't want to mention it to you." Speaking of which, you also know this person, I will let her come to see you, whether you are willing to accept it or not, you can see that it is done yourself, I really don't have to be a villain in the middle. ”

After speaking, he glanced at the servant woman standing behind him, and the servant woman hurried to the side room to call someone.

Luluo and Xiaoxiang glanced at each other, the three masters and servants knew what to expect, and they were still taken aback when they saw Jiang Ya coming out of the wing.

Jiang Ya lowered her face, walked straight to Jiang Li with an expressionless face, and shouted: "Ask the ninth sister to be fulfilled!" "As soon as the knees are bent, the gesture is to kneel.

Her arms were held by Jiang Li, and she looked up at Jiang Li's heavy eyes, Jiang Ya turned her heart sideways, her eyes were cold, and she glanced at the pillars in front of the hall, if Jiang Li refused, she was ready to hit her head. She had already used this trick once in front of the old lady and Mrs. Fan in the Jiang family, and was ready to use it a second time at any time.

"What do you mean by that?" Jiang Li's tone was not angry, and he had no intention of blaming.

Jiang Ya bit her lip, and the girl behind her spoke for her in a timely manner: "Last time, Miss went to Jinmei Garden to participate in that banquet, and rested in the pavilion halfway, and we were not waiting around, Fan Gongzi broke in alone and treated her as the ninth girl, and also, and took Miss's hand, and when we went, we only saw Fan Gongzi and Miss Lonely men and widows pulling and pulling in the pavilion, not only the girls around these young ladies, but also several aunts who went with the second grandmother at that time, together with several official wives and young ladies and young ladies who met with their own eyes, In this way, didn't Fan Gongzi ruin the reputation of our young lady. ”

Jiang Ya's face was pale, tears could not fall, her poignant appearance revealed the determination of grievances, and her eyes looked at Jiang Li's appearance like a knife and a thorn.
