Lin Yu has been buying New Year's goods very seriously in recent days, as a senior foodie, she has at least hundreds of delicacies related to the New Year in her mind, waiting for her to try them one by one. And Qingqing also has something to do, a lot of newly bought spices have to be concocted, and the clothes of the Chinese New Year ordered in the ready-to-wear shop have not yet arrived. And considering that it is inconvenient to travel and need a coachman, she is planning to buy another family, and is looking for honest and reliable people recently.

So the two of them heard the news of the Hou Mansion again a little late, and they heard it when Lin Yu took his sister-in-law to buy something on the twenty-second day of the lunar month. Of course, this matter has also been in an uproar. On that day, the town was far away from the Hou Ke to deduct the profits and rent of the shop under Lin Yu's name to force Lin Yu to refute the rumors, but Lin Yu didn't eat this set, and the right to lose the 1,000 taels of silver. He couldn't tie Lin Yu up, so he had to hit someone else.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan originally had four concubines, Bai Roujia, Zihong, Cuiru and Lin Yu himself. Among them, Bai Roujia is a small jasper, her father loves her mother, and she has an elder brother who is a county official to rely on, and she has been taken back to her hometown by her father and brother, so it is impossible to testify. Although she also received a severance payment of 1,000 taels, she was sent to the south with her parents, and the family was ordered to never return to Beijing. She didn't dare not listen to the slavery of the Hou Mansion, but when she rushed over, the daylilies were cold, and maybe the emperor would have issued an order to apply for punishment. Only Aunt Zihong, she was originally born in the Oiran of the Qinglou, and she had no relatives, so she stayed in the capital. When the people of Zhenyuan Hou found her, they didn't know what Lu Dao said, but they moved her anyway.

At the table, even if someone made things difficult, Aunt Zihong never mentioned the badness of Miss Zhang and Hou Fu, but praised the two for their match made in heaven, which surprised those who planned to see Hou Fu's jokes. Originally, these people were to see the jokes of the Hou Mansion, so they ordered the Holy Majesty to let the abandoned concubines of the Hou Mansion come forward. They felt that even if these people showed up, they would not say good things about the Marquis of Zhenyuan anyway, but they didn't expect Zihong to be so unexpected.

If this matter ends like this, the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion can be regarded as a complete merit, but I didn't expect that the next day, Zihong was listed in the top and most luxurious and famous Qinglou in the capital, and it was the sign of the former Oiran and the Zhenyuan Marquis abandoning the concubine.

And there was also a small episode that day, which was about the gift given by Lin Yu. In order to save money, Lin Yu only sent a piece of writing, and the book was written every year.

In order to show that he treats abandoned concubines well, no one resents him. After watching it privately with Zhang Wan'er, she also took it out and showed it to the guests. Unexpectedly, there was a well-known genius who couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan was very displeased and reprimanded the man twice. Talented people, they are all arrogant, and that talented man is also from everyone's background, and his family and the third prince Zhenyuan Marquis are not all the way. I have cut my face in such a public occasion, how can I mix in social situations in the future?

Therefore, Caizi was annoyed, stood up and openly mocked the Marquis of Zhenyuan, "Do you still think that people are congratulating?" You don't want to think about the Marquis of Zhenyuan, you have divorced the wife from a famous family, this is the second time you have married a wife, can you compare it with the first time? This is wishing you the third marriage. If you want me to say, people can also give you face, and they gave it to you privately, and they didn't find someone to carve a plaque for you to openly carry it in. As a result, you were stupid enough to show it yourself. ”

Marquis Zhenyuan naturally argued, but how could he be a military general's eloquence compared to a talented man who has become a prime worker. People are talented, you Zhenyuan Marquis almost killed people twice, and you still expect people to say good things about you?

If you think about it carefully, whoever almost dies twice, how many feelings are exhausted. And it seems to make more sense to have such an explanation every year, although he did not openly ridicule the Marquis of Zhenyuan like a genius, and there was no lack of twitter in private. However, this matter did not make a big fuss, the main reason is that Zihong's re-listing in the Qinglou is more eye-catching than this incident.

The price of Zihong's listing is not low, although many men can't afford that money, but it's also good to find an ordinary prostitute to drink Cihua wine and take the opportunity to witness the glamorous appearance of the abandoned concubine of the Hou Mansion. And there are not many men who are rich and not afraid of offending the Marquis of Zhenyuan in the capital, but there are not many of them, besides, this kind of thing is a matter that the law does not blame the public, and ordinary rich people think about the Hou Mansion and probably have no face to find trouble with other people's prostitutes. Zihong's appearance is indeed very gorgeous, anyway, until the day Lin Yu received the news, her business was very prosperous, going out to play for thirty taels, drinking ten taels of flower wine, and fifty taels for one night, which is basically the price of a quasi-Oiran.

When she returned home, Lin Yu mentioned the matter to Qingqing, "Zihong, why did she do this?" The Hou Mansion gave her a thousand taels of silver, and she herself has a lot of private houses, so can't she live in peace by buying some land? Don't they all say that the Qinglou is a fire pit? Bustards are generally not quite fierce. ”

"You don't know the rules and regulations, do you?" Qingqing sighed, "Your marriage is so worrying, let alone her." I'm already older, and my background is not good. Moreover, our court stipulates that a woman in a Qinglou cannot marry as a main house, unless the wife dies and has no children, and she can only be corrected if she has both children. Since the present dynasty, there are only two exceptions, there is an imperial concubine in the previous dynasty who is very favored, her mother is a Qinglou woman, but there are no children, and later after the death of her mother-in-law, she was ordered by the emperor to be corrected, and she was given an edict. The other thing is even earlier, it was when I was the founding emperor of the dynasty, there was a general who was a gangster before he made a career, married a Qinglou woman, and later it was also the emperor's grace that directly sealed the decree. ”

"In other words, even if she gets married, she can't be the main house?" Lin Yu really didn't know that there was still this law in Lu Dao.

"No, even if there is no law, even poor families will not marry prostitutes." Qingqing sighed, "She has also endured the hardships of being a concubine, but I'm afraid that she won't easily marry someone as a concubine." Moreover, the concubines from Qinglou often failed to have a good result after the worst death, or they were driven out and reverted to the dust. And she listed in the Qinglou like this, not the kind that signed the deed of sale, only gave the Qinglou a commission, which was still relatively free. ”

Lin Yu was silent and sighed, "I understand, by the way, is there any limit to marrying someone like me." ”

"You don't have it, it's more secular and conventional." Speaking of this, Qingqing's mood also became gloomy, "Otherwise, I will ask Boss He for something, he is a Hu businessman who doesn't pay attention to these." And the white boy last time, he is the same age as you, and the person is also very good, he is from the rivers and lakes, and he is not very particular. Basically, a better official eunuch will not hire an abandoned concubine as a wife for their children and grandchildren, it is easy to make people laugh, and it is not good for the future of their children and grandchildren. At that time, Mrs. Lin will definitely pick it in the eunuch's house, and there must be all kinds of unsatisfactory problems. In addition, she may not use you to win over some people, and it is even more difficult to guarantee that she will choose a good husband for you. ”

"Don't worry." Lin Yu said with a smile, "I didn't plan to marry a big family and live a life of being constrained, so I don't plan to marry an official family." As for Old Madam Lin, now that things are like this, everyone knows that it is impossible for her to be the master. Besides, what's the good thing about getting married, it's better to be comfortable for a few years first. ”

Although Qingqing was still worried, she also felt that what Lin Yu said made sense, so she let go, and the two began to discuss the matter of the sacrificial stove the day after tomorrow.

As the two were talking, they saw a maid ring come in, "Eldest Miss, Second Miss, the Yin family sent someone to send something, and there are quite a few." ”
