The news reached the backyard of the Li family, and Mrs. Li angrily smashed one of her favorite vases worth thousands of taels.

She's really angry.

Even if their Li family is just a businessman's family, she was born into a famous family, and her family used to be noble, so the girl born in her belly was never sent to someone to be the nameless aunt's wife.

And the one who was sent to the young marshal's mansion, and now she has been sent news that will give her a good future, is just the daughter of a cheap concubine - in front of her, in the past, only only the only one who did not dare to raise her head, but now they want them to give her most of the Li family's family business to marry, why?

Mrs. Li gritted her teeth fiercely, and after a long time, she suppressed the anger that seemed to burst out from her chest, and looked at the already trembling maid who came to deliver the letter: "Go and ask the master to come over." ”

Master Li had naturally heard the news that his wife was furious in the backyard, and even smashed one of Su Ri's favorite vases without mercy.

He didn't want to see his old wife at this time, but after thinking about it, he didn't let the woman make the decision in this matter, and when everyone came to the end of the catastrophe, he reluctantly straightened his clothes and quickly went to his wife's yard.

Mrs. Li's face had calmed down at this time.

She poured a cup of tea for the man, watched him hold it, and then said coldly: "The master really wants to give all the wealth of our family to the five girls as a dowry?" ”

Master Li smiled bitterly - he knew that this cup of tea was not so easy to drink: "Madame thinks, do we have any other choice?" ”

Mrs. Li bit her lip: "Why?" It's just a concubine, and she is only married to those big-headed soldiers...... What is their identity...... This kind of thing, don't say that I don't agree, you look at it, the ladies of the other families can't agree to it! ”

Master Li sighed and looked at her stubborn expression a little helplessly.

The old husband and wife have been in the old man for so many years, how can he not know that she is very high-spirited. To say that everyone discussed sending women to the young marshal's mansion, a few families just sent nieces and nieces there, but he gave his own concubines, and there is no reason why this old wife wanted to kick Li Wugirl out early.

But this matter is not something he can decide.

He bowed his head bitterly and sighed, and as a last resort, he broke the pros and cons and crumpled it and said it carefully to his wife: "This family background was sent to the Young Marshal's Mansion, but in the end, it can come out as a real dowry, I'm afraid it won't be the same thing." Don't think that Xiao Wu has taken a big advantage, to say, we still think about it, Xiao Wu is just a chess piece. ”

Mrs. Li was shocked, thought about what she understood, and gritted her teeth with hatred: "This is, the Young Marshal's Mansion is going to rob our family wealth?" ”

"What if you rob it? He is an official and we are the people, do we really want to bury our whole family for this money? Master Li looked at his old wife's eyes with a little sadness, "What's more, our family originally had a pleasing idea, in order to be afraid that the master would turn over the old accounts and make the old bottom ......" He gradually lowered his voice, "Madam, you also know in your heart that our foundation actually can't stand up to investigation." ”

If you don't have a weak heart, why send a woman to please? Even if she was just a concubine, she didn't have to be so wronged.

Mrs. Li's originally straight backbone gradually bent down.

It seemed that the essence of her whole body was suddenly drained, and her face also showed a little tiredness and depression.

The Li family has received a sum of money from Japan, and they want to open up some official relationships for them, and they have also come forward to invite wine for them a few times, get some benefits, and have done reselling on salt and iron ore, these are all things in the early years, and in recent years, the Li family has gradually faded out of these businesses, but Mrs. Li understands that some things cannot stand up to investigation.

The previous unwillingness gradually faded, replaced by cold sweat and fear, Mrs. Li muttered for a long time before she made up her mind: "Then do everything according to the master's wishes." ”

Master Li nodded, and patted his wife's hand soothingly: "Madame has always been my virtuous helper," it was easy to persuade, "But Madame, don't be too distressed, I heard the meaning of the people, asking us to send a dowry in, but it is a kind of lifting, and the other families," he stretched out his hand and crossed the word "Hou" on the table, "Their daughter has not been married, and after a few days, she will return home......"

Mrs. Li suddenly looked up.

The smile on the corner of Master Li's mouth was a little more cold: "Don't you return home, what is a good thing, I can understand now, what we did greatly offended the young lady of the young marshal's mansion, but she was still willing to marry our daughter, this is to push us out to be an example, so as to show their benevolence, but if this benevolence falls, they refuse to continue...... Then there is a famine. The daughters of the Hou family do not know how to advance and retreat, and they will inevitably affect the family, if the Hou family fails, their family business ...... "Many of the industries of the Hou family and the Li family intersect." Once the Hou family retreats, their family will naturally be able to take it up. To say that the loss is a little bit now, but if those industries can be done slowly in the future, it will not be a big loss.

Mrs. Li's eyes lit up, nodded heavily, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the man's hand: "Master, I understand." Don't worry, I will definitely spend a few days to buy a proper dowry for our little five. ”

Master Li looked at her deeply and nodded slowly.

***

Among the twenty-three girls sent to the Young Marshal's Mansion, fifteen, under the persuasion of Miss Li and other girls, all came one after another and agreed to Qu Ning's wishes.

Among them, a few of them were unwilling to be the wives of their aunts, and a few of them retreated bravely, seeing that the young marshal really had no chance here, so they chose the simpler path, but the other eight girls were always silent, and it seemed that they were very unwilling.

Qu Ning looked at the list in his hand, smiled slightly, and circled the names of these eight people with a red pen.

On the side of their names is the surname and inheritance of the main family behind them.

Su Qin said with some resentment on the side: "Young lady, don't you know, where does the young lady of the Hou family look like a girl from a good family, that pie, slave and maid, look at it, it is almost the same as the girls in those kilns!" The young marshal came back yesterday, and she pretended to say that she wanted to serve you for dinner, and she didn't leave, and those eyes were just glancing at our young marshal, and the slave maid really hadn't seen any serious lady who looked at people like that! ”

Qu Ning couldn't help but smile: "You said, how many serious ladies have you seen again?" What's more, since Miss Hou came back from school, she is more foreign and open, which is understandable. ”

Hearing that she actually excused those little hooves, Su Qin was immediately anxious, and before she could say more, Qu Ning had already waved her hand.

Last night, the group of girls came to greet her, and Qu Ning was really happy to see the girls who had promised to get married.

After all, they were married from the young marshal's mansion, and they were married to the young marshal's subordinates - those are all good men who are iron-clad and defend the country, and they will still be close to each other in the future.

But in the end, I saw that it was almost time for the young marshal to go back to the house to have dinner with her, and regardless of the other people's resignation, the Hou girl changed hands and "snatched" the tea sent by the little girl, and lowered her body to hold it to Qu Ning, so she had to stay here and serve her food, saying that she wanted to fulfill her duty to serve the young lady.

Qu Ning smiled lightly at the time, but when the young marshal came back, he didn't even glance at the delicate makeup Hou girl, and only treated her like a slave.

It seems that I didn't see it at all, Miss Hou's Western palace clothes were so outstanding-Qu Ning and Tang Shaoshuai used to eat as usual, and when they were almost finished, they glanced at Miss Hou who was serving tea and water on the side, and her face was ugly, as if she had died at this time, as if she remembered her at this time: "Miss Hou hasn't eaten yet, right?" This is ordered, and the big kitchen doesn't know if there is any food left, so let's do it, Suqin, these dishes will be rewarded to Miss Hou. ”

The messy leftovers were "rewarded" to her, and the face of the Hou girl turned blue and white at that time - although she knew that she was only a concubine when she came in, this Qu family was the princess of the previous dynasty, and it was a noble status, and she would never be able to pass it, but she had been raised with brocade clothes and jade food since she was a child, and how could she have ever suffered such an insult! But Young Marshal Tang looked at it lightly on the side, and those eyes saw that she was cold all over her body, and she didn't even dare to say half a "no", so she had to take it and thank them for their reward.

Su Qin talked about this matter at this time, because Miss Li came back and forth before, saying that there were only eight girls left, she tried her best to persuade them, but they didn't listen, and Miss Hou also arrogantly beat her up, Miss Li didn't directly complain, only her eyes were still red - Qu Ning asked someone to ask, and she knew that Miss Hou's mouth was not clean, and it was Miss Li, who had a gentle temper, and she was also wronged.

Su Qin looked at the remaining girls who wanted to be the aunts and wives of their young marshal, and she was anxious and angry, but she was afraid that Her Royal Highness the princess of her family would make a mistake and let them continue to live in the Tang family.

Qu Ning smiled and said: "Since the young marshal is my husband, in this life and this life, unless he divorces me, he will be mine alone, and others will not think about it." I kept these people just to find a particularly good reason for the young marshal to do it. ”

Half of the words behind her, Su Qin was puzzled.

However, with half of the categorical words in front of her, Su Qin also put her heart at ease, and couldn't help but reach out and pat her chest: "Then the slave and maid can rest assured, the slave and the maid also said that the master wants to learn from those virtuous women......"

Qu Ning shook his head: "Don't worry, your master and I are not the kind of people who are willing to suffer casually, it's just that ...... "It's just this matter, I'm afraid it will be a little dangerous." She thought about the anger and anger that the young marshal might have when she knew the thoughts that were rolling in her stomach, and suddenly shrunk her shoulders in fear.

Husband, husband, you are still in the dark from beginning to end.
