Chapter 206: Asking for a Concubine

Mrs. Xu said: "Niangniang, the courtiers are confused, and they have verbally promised their children and sisters-in-law to be related to their children. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But now that the respected sister and the child are talking about marriage, Miss Lin Wu is the concubine of the Wuguo Mansion, so she naturally wants to be a wife, but the niece of the courtier's wife ......"

Mrs. Xu kowtowed and continued: "...... I beg the mother to be merciful, and after Miss Lin Wu enters the door, let the courtier's niece also enter the door to serve the child. Pinniang and Xiao'er were originally childhood sweethearts, but now she knows that she can't do anything with Xiao'er, lying in bed without eating or drinking, and she is about to die. I beg Niangniang to be merciful, Pinniang didn't dare to compete with Miss Lin Wu, even if she was allowed to enter the door to be a concubine, it would save her life......"

Lin Yan's face slowly turned black, that is, the Qi family sitting next to him was first surprised, and then he snorted angrily, shook his head with a handkerchief, his face was blacker than charcoal, and he was angry in his heart.

Mrs. Xu sighed in her heart and closed her eyes.

However, Wu laughed and said to Mrs. Xu: "It turns out that this is the case, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and Miss Lin Wu and your niece serve one husband together, maybe they can also achieve a good story of the Russian and British empress." ”

Mrs. Xu said: "The courtiers also feel that it is not a big deal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but when the child asked to marry Miss Lin Wu, he made a vow never to accept a concubine. Courtiers, courtiers......" looked like they didn't know how to say it in embarrassment.

Wu looked at Qi and said, "Duchess Wuguo, this is your mistake. The young master of your family who wants to marry a daughter-in-law does not ask for a concubine, but why does he care that his son-in-law cannot take a concubine, this is not authentic. ”

looked at Mrs. Xu again and said, "Your niece is also the daughter of an official family, how can she be a concubine, this palace should be a flat wife." As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yan and said, "Miss Liu and Xu Tanhua are cousins of childhood sweethearts. In this case, whether it is for compensation or not, the Lin family should no longer allow Miss Liu to enter the door. The queen mother is virtuous and generous, and acts fairly, so she shouldn't favor her cousin, right? What do you say, the Queen? ”

Mrs. Xu knelt on the ground, looking at Lin Yan with fear and expectation.

Lin Yan looked at her with a cold face, and after a while, she smiled without smiling, and said: "What Zhaoyi said is that since Xu Tanhua and Miss Liu are childhood sweethearts, and Mrs. Xu first agreed with her brother and sister-in-law, how can she be a concubine." Look at the palace, let Miss Liu and Xu Tanhua become a wife. ”

Mrs. Xu was happy to hear this, and kowtowed vigorously and said, "Thank you, Niangniang......" But then it didn't seem right, Pinniang is a wife, so what does Miss Lin Wu do? It can't be a concubine.

She hurriedly raised her head to look at Lin Yan again, and said suspiciously: "Niangniang, what about Miss Lin Wu and Xiao'er's ......relatives?"

Lin Yan's face was stiff, her expression became stern, and she said sharply: "This palace is really confused to see Mrs. Xu, where did the sister of this palace and Xu Gongzi come from, have the two families made a marriage?" Have you passed three books and six ceremonies? Since there is none, Mrs. Xu should not ruin the reputation of my Lin family girl. ”

Mrs. Xu was shocked, no matter how confused she was, she still knew the importance of the family affair with the Lin family to her son's future, she was not dissatisfied with marrying the Lin family, but dissatisfied with the Lin family's request that her son never take a concubine. What's more, she really likes Pin Niang, Pin Niang has a deep love for a little girl, and now she is so sad that she falls ill in bed, she naturally feels sorry for this niece.

Mrs. Xu hurriedly called and said, "Niangniang......"

Lin Yan looked at her disdainfully and snorted coldly.

The Lin family does not have a rule that prohibits the children of the family from taking concubines, but it also adopts a non-supportive attitude towards this, even if it is a concubine, it is not allowed to accept a noble concubine. So like the old Wu Guogong and the current Lin Yong, although they both have concubines, their status is not high. Like Lin Chengsheng and Lin Chengzhi, there is no concubine room in the house, but they all have a room promoted by the housemother.

The Li family, the Qi family and others were also afraid of managing the children in the family too strictly, so they ordered them to go outside to steal food, or put an outer room outside like Lin Ying did back then, so as long as they did their duty to the rules of the room, they did not have the heart to violate the authority of the housemother, and they all turned a blind eye.

The Lin family has never asked the son-in-law of the Lin family not to take a concubine, but he can't go too far, and spoil the concubine room to give the Lin family's girl no face.

But the promise never to take a concubine was proposed by Xu Xiao to marry Lin Wu himself, and the Qi family regarded this as one of his advantages, and since he promised himself, he should not break it.

Not to mention that Mrs. Xu asked in front of a group of internal and external wives at her Qianqiu Festival, but she wanted to force her to agree, so difficult, she didn't take the Lin family in her eyes at all.

And who is Miss Liu, no matter how young her father is, he is also an official, she is the daughter of an official family, and a concubine must be a noble concubine.

Mrs. Xu wanted to say something, but Lin Yan had already interrupted her and said, "Although this palace is the queen, it can't control the affairs of your Xu family's children and relatives." If Mrs. Xu has nothing else to do, just step down. ”

Mrs. Xu also glared at Mrs. Xu, suppressed her anger and said, "Don't you feel ashamed enough?" Don't get down yet. ”

Wu suddenly felt better, and said with a smile: "What is the queen mother angry about, now everyone knows that Xu Tanhua and Lin Wuniang are discussing marriage, how can Niangniang not admit this family matter now." Just because Mrs. Xu wants Xu Tanhua to take a concubine? No matter how big it is, the girl of the Lin family is more noble, and the husband who marries can only guard her alone. ”

Lin Yan smiled, looked at Wu and said: "You also know that the Lin and Xu families are just discussing relatives, since they are discussing relatives, the two families are still in the stage of discussion, neither changing Geng stickers nor marriage letters, so naturally there will be success and failure." Which government can guarantee that it will be completed in one discussion, do you declare the state mansion? ”

Wu pursed his lips and snorted a few times in his heart with disdain.

Lin Yan said again: "Zhaoyi herself just said that Mrs. Xu and her brother and sister-in-law first verbally agreed on the family affair, and the Lin family does not do anything to snatch love, so naturally the family affair between Xu Tanhua and the girl of the Liu family must be fulfilled first." ”

Mrs. Xu sighed, knelt down and said to Lin Yan: "The courtiers are not talented, and they have taught such a confused daughter-in-law, I hope that the mother will forgive her sins." ”

She didn't dare to talk about her granddaughter's relationship with the fifth lady of the Lin family now.

Mrs. Xu is desperate for this daughter-in-law, her grandson is promising, coupled with the help of the Lin family, she originally had a good future, not to mention that she also likes Miss Lin Wu, which was originally the best of both worlds, but it was all ruined by this confused daughter-in-law.

Lin Yan said: "This palace said, discussing relatives and relatives, there are originally successes and failures, and Mrs. Xu doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Saying that, he didn't want to see the people of the Xu family, so he frowned and waved his hand: "You guys stand down." (To be continued.) )
