This matter is also simple to say, that day Xu Tingshen refused to accept Jin Yuan as a concubine, and Mrs. Xu and Xu Jianwen were both soft and hard, but he still refused to agree.

When his cousin Han Yunkai on the side saw this, he immediately patted his chest and said to Mrs. Xu: "Grandma, I also have a part in saving people that day, don't force my cousin, this matter will fall on my head, I am the son of Jian'an, and accepting her as a concubine is not an insult to the Jin family." ”

Old Lady Xu frowned slightly, and blamed: "You little monkey, how can you have the final say in the matter of your concubine, even I, who is a grandmother, can't make decisions for you, and I don't talk nonsense." ”

Han Yunkai has been playing with Xu Tingshen since he was a child, and he knows his cousin's temperament very well, and he can't pull back the eight horses he decides. But at the moment, he must be responsible for this matter, rather than embarrassing his cousin, it is better for him to take this matter alone.

"Grandma, I've seen the third lady of the Jin family, although she is not a peerless beauty, she is also handsome, she can pick up a beautiful concubine for nothing, why not? I don't have to worry about my grandmother, I'll go back to my house and talk to my mother. ”

Han Yunkai is an anxious person, and once he decides, he will do it immediately. Sure enough, within a few days, the Han family asked people to go to the Jin family to propose marriage.

Because it is a concubine, the identity of the person who came to propose marriage will not be too high, and it is Grandma You Si from Changrong Hutong who invites Grandma You Si, and the husband of Grandma You Si works under Jian'anbo, which is considered a subordinate.

First, when she saw that it was the Han family who came to propose marriage instead of the Xu family, and then saw that the person who came was also unheard of in the circle of noblewomen in the capital, Song Xiuzhu's right eyelid kept jumping, and when she heard that it was a concubine for the son of Uncle Jian'an, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

The Xu family has to bury more people, your family doesn't want to admit it, why do you want to push this matter to the Han family.

Although the Han family is noble, today's family is not as good as the Xu family. Jian Anbo, like Jin Min, is also a five-rank langzhong, so he is quite good among the nobles. At the moment, apart from one more title, the Han family has nothing.

is such a family, but they want to take the daughter of the Jin family as a concubine, how can they pull their faces!

Song Xiuzhu hugged Jin Yuan and cried into tears, in addition to scolding the Xu family, she also scolded Linglong.

It was all the hands and feet of Linglong's little hooves that forced Jin Yuan to this field, and now the whole capital knows about it, and I think it won't be long before the Han family wants to take a concubine. What can Jin Yuan's relatives do in the future, how can there be a big family willing to marry a woman who is regarded as a concubine by other families.

Jin Min heard about this when he came back from the Yamen, he is a scholar, and he has been in the officialdom all the year round, and his knowledge is not comparable to that of a deep lady like Song Xiuzhu.

He asked Jin Zifeng that day, and it was Xu Tingshen and Han Yunkai who saved Jin Yuan, the Han family and the Xu family were in-laws, and an aunt of the Xu family married into the Han family and became an uncle.

Although the Han family is not a noble, and it is not as good as the Xu family in terms of career, the hereditary title is not enviable. No matter how beautiful the Xu family is, they can't get half a knighthood.

The son of Jian'an Bo wants to marry the concubine of the Jin family, which can be regarded as a promotion. It's just that neither Song Xiuzhu nor Jin Min thought of letting Jin Yuan be a concubine.

Over the years, Jin Yuan and Jin Yu have been pampered as Miss Yan, although Jin Min's official position is not high, but there are a lot of field shops in his hands, in addition to these, he can also share a bonus from the ancestral industry every year. When Jin Yuan and Jin Yu got married, they didn't have ten miles of red makeup, and they must have a rich dowry. With this dowry, it is not something that a concubine can bear.

The more Jin Min thought about it, the more angry he became, just as the waiter came in with tea, he casually picked up the Ruyao teapot and threw it out, the teapot smashed into the thick Fuzi pattern woven cotton carpet, did not break, the tea and tea spilled out, staining the carpet with a stain.

The waiter was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound, and a few maids wearing bean green armor were also frightened, tiptoeing to clean up the teapot on the ground.

I only heard Jin Min roaring angrily: "Fools, they are all fools, this is self-inflicted humiliation!" ”

It was only half a stick of incense, and the words of Master Jin San reached the ears of the second wife, Song Xiuzhu, intact.

Song Xiuzhu casually threw a string of small-leaf rosewood Buddha beads that she was playing with on the Nanmu case, and her shoulders kept shaking. The idiot in Jin Min's mouth is not only Jin Yuan who scolds, but also her mother!

It's all exquisite, this dead girl is too hateful.

Song Xiuzhu calmed down a little, and said to Hui Xiang: "Send the lychee cake just made in the small kitchen to the owner of Rong Yuan, I remember that she used to like to eat lychees the most." ”

Huixiang went out, and Mrs. Zhang asked carefully: "Second wife, why do you still want to send snacks to that crazy woman, how can she deserve it!" ”

Mrs. Zhang is Song Xiuzhu's confidant, since Mama Wang followed Jin Yuan to Wanghe Garden, Mrs. Zhang is the steward of Bitong Courtyard.

Song Xiuzhu tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a mocking smile: "I just want that dead girl to see how good I am to her mother, and you will think about it for me in the future, and you will send snacks to the eldest lady every day, and pick the good ones and send them over, don't repeat them." ”

Mrs. Zhang was confused, but she had also followed Song Xiuzhu for seven or eight years, and she knew better than anyone what kind of person the second wife was. Over the years, the second wife has never done anything useless, and everything she has done is just right. If it weren't for the fifth lady coming back, the second wife would not be as timid as she is now.

Song Xiuzhu asked again: "The mother-in-law in Rongyuan is surnamed Dai, I remember that her son is in our Zhuangzi." ”

Mrs. Zhang's heart was already open, and she smiled and said, "The second wife really has a good memory. The son of this generation of mother-in-law is an errand runner in our real Zhuangzi, and he has no ability. ”

Song Xiuzhu nodded, swept through the hair that was combed in a neat bun, and said lightly: "Then transfer him to Beijing, close to his mother, and don't you have a nephew who works in the gambling house?" When he has nothing to do, call him out for a few games. ”

Mrs. Zhang suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "The slave knows, let's do it, second wife, you just wait." ”

Linglong looked at the plate of lychee cake on the case, and didn't take her eyes off for a while.

Feng likes to eat lychees, and there are occasionally lychees sold in the capital, and the price is ridiculously expensive, and that thing is not easy to preserve. Even so, whenever the lychees come down, you can often see lychee candy and lychee cakes in the Rong Garden, and the Jin family has silver, so they are not afraid that they will not be able to buy the things that the eldest lady likes to eat.

Linglong tried the lychee cakes one by one with a silver hairpin, and asked the mother-in-law to feed them to Feng's family.

She asked Xingyu to bring a book, she picked up the wolf pen, and wrote upright on the book: On May 15, the second wife sent Huixiang to send a plate of lychee cake.
