Chapter 21: Wives and Concubines

Lan Xi won because of the success of the division, pleased his father, and also led Aunt Fang's army, although there are still hidden worries, but it is like going to a heart, the mood is very relaxed, it is a good night's sleep. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When they woke up the next day, they waited for them to finish grooming by the pillow moon, and they used it early, seeing that the hour was almost up, they hugged the burden of books and pen and ink with Yingfeng, and went to the main courtyard to say goodbye, and then went to school. Songquan Courtyard didn't have to go, yesterday the old lady sent a hairpin to inform her, so that she, like the other sisters, only went to ask for peace during the break, and she didn't have to go for fear of delay on weekdays. But the third lady is going to go anyway.

It's just that when he arrived at the main courtyard, Lan Xi was very surprised. On the mahogany circle chairs on both sides of the flower hall, there were two people sitting on each side, and there were some maids standing behind them, among them, the one sitting on the right side of the hand can be regarded as an acquaintance of Lanxi, isn't it Aunt Fang who only dealt with yesterday? Crowd a room full of people. Looking at it like this, Lan Xi knew it in his heart, and silently counted it, one, two, three, four! Scold! Good boy! It's all here. This is the first time she has seen his father's little wives gathered so well when she comes back from rebirth. After thinking about it for a while, Lan Xi also found the reason. The people in the house really saw the wind and the rudder, but it was just a dinner, and the temptation, the stuttering, the hypocritical, and the hypocritical were all opened to the door.

Slandering in his heart, Lan Xi didn't show it at all, and when he asked the third wife to say goodbye, and when he was in the middle of the ceremony with a few aunts, he quietly looked at a few people with his spare eyes. In the past, she had never paid attention to it, but in the current situation, she knows that there are invisible pushers everywhere in this deep house, for the sake of fame and profit, it is bustling, and she can't say who will stab you in secret. What's more, these women, with their mothers, wives and concubines, are inherently contradictory and irreconcilable. And the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, invincible in a hundred battles, she can't come to the end, she can't even figure out who is who, that's a joke.

The first to see the gift was the oldest among the aunts, that is, Aunt Qiu, who was the first to be accepted by the third master, that is, the third wife's companion and Lan Xiang's biological mother. Compared with the others, Lan Xi is quite familiar, but for granted, the woman in front of her looked at her thirty, but she was many years younger than she remembered. She was a little blessed, she looked a little rich, she wore a decent indigo blue flower dark pattern gown, combed an ingots, and didn't comb her silver inlaid white jade carved flowers and butterflies, with a long face, and her facial features were only delicate, Lan Xiang was a little similar to her, always smiling on her face, and her demeanor was peaceful.

Then there is Aunt Ge. Lan Xi really didn't have much impression of her, she only felt that this woman should be about the same age as Aunt Qiu, but she seemed to be ten years old. The gown of Zi color Fang Sheng pattern lined her slender face more and more shapely, her complexion was slightly yellow, her two eyes were deeply sunken, the corners of her mouth were straight, there was no smile, and the lines at the corners of her mouth were deep folds, making her look more old-fashioned and serious, but the hair seemed to be very well maintained, and the crow crow was coiled on the top of her head, and two plain silver hairpins were inserted. Lan Xi thought that this one had no children by his side, but he was afraid that he had become such a person because he was consuming his life day after day in this deep house, and even when he gave her a gift, he only got a hard nod, and he didn't even say "five girls".

Aunt Chen is younger than Aunt Qiu and Aunt Ge, she is a good concubine hired after Mrs. Lan San gave birth to Lan Hao, she is the daughter of a squire, and she is the best born among several aunts, plus she is the only one who has given birth to a brother among several aunts, so it is inevitable that the waist will have to be straighter. But in front of Lan Xi, the eldest daughter of the third master, she still knows how to be restrained, and her demeanor is deferential from beginning to end, and she is not contemptuous because Lan Xi is still a child, of course, this is not lacking in the credit of yesterday's dinner.

Again, when Lan Xi turned to Aunt Fang, the other party had already bowed half sideways and bowed to her first. Lan Xi stared at it, and could only see her low-hanging side face and elongated neck, and a silver bell swaying lightly in her earlobe, but she couldn't understand half of the look on her face. Lan Xi didn't care, the future was long.

After recognizing the person, Lan Xi happily ran to the third wife, and then took a closer look at his mother, and couldn't help but smile. It seems that my father is really a panacea.

Look, although today's third wife is still a little pale and sickly, her eyes are flashing, the corners of her mouth are smiling, and her body is full of energy. She leaned on a large pillow with a pine green embroidered passion flower pattern and half-crooked on the low couch, wore a duck egg blue inlaid magnolia tuan-rimmed gown, put on a moon-white thread skirt, a green silk obliquely pulled a fallen horse bun, only inserted a white jade carved hibiscus hairpin, but the jade color is uniform and transparent, the water head is excellent, and it is not ordinary at a glance.

Lan Xi has seen such a mother for the first time these days, and she only feels that she is really radiant, and her already excellent facial features show a scorching elegance against the backdrop of this graceful bearing, in Lan Xi's opinion, those aunts are far inferior to her. Kelanxi has experienced it, and he can't understand the inferior nature of men, no matter how good the women are, they will accept them one after another, just want to sit on all kinds of women, and they will never be satisfied.

"Has my mother been able to use any medicine today? What did you eat early? Can it still be fragrant? In fact, seeing such a mother, Lan Xi felt happy, but a little inexplicably sad, her mother really tied all the joys, sorrows and sorrows to her father. It's not that she doesn't value their children, it's just that in her heart, the father is far more important than them.

The third wife was in a good mood, so she looked at her daughter, her eyes were also extraordinarily soft, and while answering her daughter's questions, she looked at her makeup with a smile. Seeing that everything was appropriate, she nodded secretly and put her mind at ease.

"The wife is loving, the five girls are filial, they are really mothers and daughters, and they envy others! If the tenth sister can learn from the five girls in the future, the concubine is enough. Just the right amount of envy and respect, and the unhurried tone, it sounded comfortable, but the smile of the third lady faded. She doesn't like these aunts, especially Aunt Fang, even if she flatters her, it can't change the slightest.

Lan Xi behaved very well today, next to the third wife, without words, just blinking a pair of eyes and looking at Aunt Fang with a smile.

"The tenth sister will be filial in the future, and the filial piety is also the old lady, and the younger sister doesn't need to be so envious." Aunt Chen pinched her handkerchief to cover her mouth and smiled, among the several aunts, Aunt Fang was the youngest and the most favored, so there was no need for the third wife to make a move, naturally someone couldn't sit still first.

"Filial piety is naturally the old lady." Aunt Fang's gaze met Lan Xi, and for only a moment, she moved away and lowered her head, the curvature of her neck was just right, beautiful and obedient, like singing a lament, unchanged for eternity.

Aunt Fang admitted defeat so quickly, Aunt Chen was a little stupid, pursed her lips, and laughed again, "If you want me to say, our five girls are really growing now, and these eyebrows and eyes are becoming more and more delicate and beautiful......."

"She is a child, she deserves to be praised by you!" The third lady interrupted her with a faint smile, raised her hand to straighten the collar of Lilanxi, which was already very smooth, and her eyes softened, "It's not early, let's go to school quickly!" After school for a while, I will come to the main courtyard for dinner, and I will ask Mrs. Qiu to cook you your favorite food. ”

Aunt Chen froze, and her expression stiffened for a moment. Aunt Fang smiled slightly and watched Lan Xi walk out of the hall door. But Aunt Qiu and Aunt Ge were silent from beginning to end without saying a word, like clay sculptures, but one was Maitreya Buddha, and the other was hidden in the shadow and melted into a shadow.
