Chapter 17: The Third Lady

It is a May day when there is love, and the spring red is waiting for a new look.

The peach blossoms have been gone, but a few locust trees outside the house have been hung with snow-white locust flowers, dotted with small flowers clustered together, the white flower strings are like jade bells carved from white jade, and the refreshing and sweet taste drifts away with the wind, refreshing people's hearts.

The atmosphere in the warm pavilion of the Xu family was a little gloomy, not only Xu Jianwen, who was the country's chief priest, was at home, but even the old lady Xu came from Wangdu.

"Now that the whole capital has spread all over the capital, even Wangdu is also rumored, Brother Shen, why are you so ignorant of proportion, causing such a thing, you say it yourself, how to deal with it."

Mrs. Xu is in her early fifties, wearing a long gown with a sauce-colored Fu character pattern and a jade forehead tied on her head.

Xu Tingshen stood with his hands down, and standing side by side with him was his cousin Han Yunkai. They are cousins, and Mrs. Xu is also Han Yunkai's grandmother.

Seeing that Xu Tingshen didn't speak, Han Yunkai took a step forward and smiled at Mrs. Xu: "Grandma, your old man came from all over from Wangdu, just for this." Let's be honest with you, I also have a part in this matter, and I rescued Miss Jin with my cousin. If you want to scold, even I will scold together, cousin with fine skin and tender meat, how can you resist you from being scared like this, you will come to me alone, anyway, I have been scolded by your elders since I was a child. ”

Old Mrs. Xu was angry, but she was also made to cry and laugh by his words. Han Yunkai has often come to his grandmother's house since he was a child, and he and his cousin Xu Tingshen are inseparable good friends. If it weren't for the Han family's fear that his son would be naughty and force him to stay in the capital, he would have gone to Taishan Academy with Xu Tingshen to study.

"You little monkey, you always take Brother Shen into trouble. If you're the only one who saves people, it won't be a big deal. If you can't do it, you can bring in the Miss Jin family, even if it is Miss Jin San, she is just a concubine, and she has not been wronged by being a concubine for the Han family. But this matter fell on Brother Shen, it is not simple, Brother Shen and Miss Jin Jiachang have had a marriage contract since childhood, and now there is a Miss Jin San, in my opinion, the Jin family wants to put us together. ”

After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she looked at Xu Jianwen, who was silent, and then looked at Ying, who was sitting next to Xu Jianwen.

At that time, Xu Tingshen's family affair was decided between Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Ying's and the eldest wife of the Jin family, Feng. The Jin family and the Feng family are in-laws, one is very rich, and the other is Jiangmen, having such a family affair is also beneficial to his son's future career.

Who would have thought that something would happen to the Feng family within a few years, and the Feng family was also crazy, the Ying family didn't want to ask for this family affair anymore, but Xu Tingshen actually went to the Jin family to see each other in private, and after coming back, he was bent on officially marrying Miss Jin Wu.

Feng Wanrong was a famous beauty in the capital back then, her daughter was born handsome if she wanted to, Xu Tingshen had a young heart, and there was nothing wrong with wanting to marry a beauty, not to mention that this was also set since childhood. Xu Jianwen and Ying's discussed, and thought that in a few days, they would go to the Jin family to formally propose, formalize the family affairs, and wait until Miss Jin Wu and Lu will get married.

didn't expect Xu Tingshen to go to the Dragon Boat Club and encounter such a tricky thing. In front of everyone's eyes, Miss Jin San was rescued from the river by Xu Tingshen and Han Yunkai.

Although Miss Jin Wu is a concubine, she is not favored in the Jin family, and her mother is crazy, but no one with a face will marry the daughter of a madwoman; Although Miss Jin San is a concubine, her biological mother is the wife of the head of the Jin family's Xifu, and when it comes to her status in her mother's family, Miss Jin San is higher than Miss Jin Wu.

At present, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is clearly a trick played by the Jin family.

The Xu family is a scholarly family, Xu Jianwen is the son of the country and the priest wine, Xu Tingshen is outstanding in the world-famous Taishan Academy, seeing that the imperial examination is promising, and he has a talent. Not to mention that the Jin family is jealous of such a good family affair, outsiders are also envious when they see it.

Ying sneered: "I asked the little maid, the third young master of the Jin family was also on that boat at the time, standing next to Brother Shen, and when he saw his sister falling into the water, why didn't he save people, it was clear that he had a tacit understanding with his sister, so he waited for Brother Shen to save him." Brother Shen is a sincere person, I heard that it was the Miss Jin family who fell into the water, of course, she couldn't ruin the innocence of her fiancée with a fake hand, so she fell into the trap of the Jin family. Their Jin family spoiled and destroyed their heirs, but they took our Xu family as the big wrong. Old lady, eldest lord, no matter what you do, I don't want the girl of the Jin family to be a daughter-in-law, whether it is the fifth miss or the third lady, with the heart of the Jin family, this family business is also unacceptable! ”

Xu Tingshen, who had not spoken, heard his mother say this, and his face turned red with anxiety. Since he knew that Linglong had him in his heart, he was sweet in his heart, and he was depressed about losing the pencil case she gave him these days, and when he heard his mother say that he didn't want the Jin family girl to be his daughter-in-law, he was so anxious that his face was red.

"A woman's opinion!" It was Xu Jianwen, who had been silent, who had been silent, who spoke, "If there was no dragon boat meeting, it would be enough to deny this family business, but now that such a thing has happened, this family matter will be recognized even if you don't recognize it." retired from the fifth lady's family affairs, and ruined the innocence of the third lady, the Jin family is not an ordinary family, his family is the founding hero, is the imperial businessman, the second and third masters of the Jin family are all famous, and the Jin family room is in and out of the palace all day long. When this matter reached the ears of those imperial historians, our Xu family had a reputation for being disloyal and unjust. Let's not talk about my career, even Brother Shen's future family affairs will be difficult. ”

Xu Jianwen's words made Mrs. Xu and Ying both speechless.

Mrs. Xu sighed and said to Xu Jianwen: "Then it's better to sue the Jin family, Miss Five's family business should be hired when it should be hired, and when it should be welcomed, it will be greeted in person, and it will be the original." As for the third lady, our Xu family will not let her suffer, and when the fifth miss gets married, let her be a companion, which is better than the status of another concubine. ”

Fortunately, Miss Jin San is a concubine, if she is also a concubine like Miss Jin Wu, then this matter is really difficult to handle.

Ying Shi sighed and said: "That third lady is also an organic person, she can calculate like this at a young age, and she will not be a person who keeps her own in the future, but now that this matter is like this, there is no other way." ”

When Xu Tingshen heard the words of his grandmother and parents, he was first happy, then worried. The good thing is that he and Linglong are hopeful, but the worry is that he has not yet married, so he has set the concubine room, and he is still the scheming woman of Miss Jin San.

He is not stupid, the last time he went to the Jin family, Miss Jin San tried her best to show Xiàn in front of him, and even secretly threw flattering eyes at him, at that time he knew that the Jin family had other intentions, so he urged his father and mother to find someone to go to the Jin family to formally propose, but he didn't want to dream a lot at night.

I didn't expect to recruit the Jin family.

"No, even if I don't take a concubine for the rest of my life, I don't want that Miss Jin San!"
