Aunt Zhang was favored, and Mrs. Hou was very uncomfortable, so angry that she couldn't even eat.

Cui Ping is Mrs. Hou's dowry maid, who has followed Mrs. Hou for many years, and when she saw that she couldn't eat, she was very worried about her body. She said: "Madam, the body is your own, and it is not worth it to be angry for Aunt Zhang." ”

She is a loyal maid, so she despises Aunt Zhang's behavior of climbing into Hou's bed in every possible way by taking advantage of Mrs. Hou's pregnancy. She felt that Aunt Zhang had betrayed her young lady, and she hated her very much in her heart.

Mrs. Hou said: "I know it's not worth it, but I just can't swallow this breath." "Ever since she learned that Zhang climbed into Hou Ye's bed, Mrs. Hou has always regarded Zhang as a thorn in her eye. It's just that the Zhang family is not favored, and she can't swallow this breath as soon as the Zhang family is favored.

Cui Ping said: "You are the head of the house, it is not easy to punish a concubine, why be angry with her?" ”

It is really a very simple matter for the housewife to punish a concubine. Just look at how unsatisfactory Aunt Zhang has been over the years.

Mrs. Hou said: "The Zhang family is now favored, I punish her at this time, and Master Hou is afraid that he will have an opinion on me." She didn't want to leave a bad impression in Hou Ye's heart. After all, she is no longer young, she can't make Hou Ye angry like when she was young, and she can quickly please him.

Cui Ping said: "Then don't move the Zhang family directly, let's do something indirect." ”

Mrs. Hou thought for a while and said, "You mean to attack Xiuling?" "It's a way to attack Cao Xiuling.

Cui Ping said: "Isn't the Zhang family very proud? Then we will make her smug and let her live in fear all the time. ”

Mrs. Hou said, "Do you have any good ideas?" If it can really make Zhang's upset, her heart will be more comfortable.

Cui Ping said: "Madame, doesn't she have a distant nephew who is looking for a house to fill, isn't it okay to let Xiu Ling marry her?" ”

Mrs. Hou was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Let her be a concubine to fill the main room, but she is also elevating her." ”

She and Cui Ping looked at each other, and then they both laughed. It seems that marrying Cao Xiuling to her nephew is a very happy thing.

It turned out that Mrs. Hou's distant nephew was lustful and addicted to alcohol. Every time he gets drunk, he punches and kicks his own woman. His main room was abused to death by him, and of course he had a few concubines, but they were all short-lived. If Cao Xiuling marries, she will inevitably be abused every day. This is simply sending a good person into the tiger's mouth.

Mrs. Hou's distant nephew is not in Luoyang, so the people here in Luoyang don't know much about his temperament. I didn't know that he was such an unbearable person, and when I learned that she was Mrs. Hou's nephew, I would definitely think that he was a handsome son. After all, Mrs. Hou's maiden family is also good.

Cao Xiuling is a concubine, and she can marry Mrs. Hou's nephew as the main room, even if it is spread outside, others will not say anything gossip. In this way, Mrs. Hou not only punished Zhang's mother and daughter, but also did not leave a handle for others.

I have to say that Cui Ping's idea is very vicious.

Cao Xiuling was immersed in the joy of her biological mother's favor, and she never thought that she had been calculated.

People are in good spirits at happy events, and Aunt Zhang is full of red light today. As soon as she saw Li Siyu, she kindly took her hand, "Xiaoyu, thank you so much for this incident, my aunt will be grateful to you for a lifetime." She never imagined that she would be favored again in her thirties.

Li Siyu said: "Actually, I didn't do anything, the reason why you are favored is entirely because of yourself, and I don't play a big role." ”

The song she taught Aunt Zhang just helped her attract the attention of Hou Ye, and created a chance for Aunt Zhang, whether she could keep Hou Ye's heart in the end still depends on Aunt Zhang's own ability. If Aunt Zhang didn't have that charm, it would be useless for her to create more opportunities.

Aunt Zhang said: "No matter what you think, anyway, I remember your kindness." ”

Li Siyu stopped arguing, just smiled.

Because this is the first time that Aunt Zhang has been favored in so many years, Cao Xiuling feels the taste of being respected for the first time. Seeing that the maids and family members in the house were respectful to him, Cao Xiuling felt flattered in her heart.

She said to Li Siyu: "Xiaoyu, do you think they will always be so good to me in the future." ”

Li Siyu really wanted to tell her, it depends on whether your mother and daughter will be favored in the Hou Mansion in the future. But when she saw Cao Xiuling's expectant eyes, she couldn't bear it, she said: "You will leave the Hou Mansion sooner or later, I believe that the people of your husband's family will be better for you." ”

Cao Xiuling is sixteen this year, and she has reached the age of marriage in the Great Jin Dynasty, and she is a little embarrassed when she hears Li Siyu say this, "Xiaoyu, don't laugh at me, with my background, I can't meet a good person." ”

Li Siyu said: "Although you are a concubine, you are also the daughter of the Hou Ye, and you don't know how many times better than most women's background." Why can't you marry a good man? "Cao Xiuling is also a second-generation official, I don't know how much better than ordinary people.

Aunt Zhang also said: "I don't have anything to ask for in this life, I just hope that you can make a good family, marry someone as the main family, and spend your life safely and healthily." ”

In the past, she was not favored and couldn't speak in front of the Hou Ye, but now although she is favored, she is also soft-spoken, and she deeply understands the importance of identity.

Li Siyu said: "No matter what the second lady says, she is also the daughter of the Hou Ye, if she just wants to find a position in the main room, it is not a difficult thing to think about." I think the second lady will be able to find a husband who will only marry her in her life. ”

It is a common thing in modern times to have a couple for a lifetime, but it is a luxury in the Great Jin Dynasty. Most of the men of the Great Jin Dynasty will accept two concubines as long as the conditions in the family allow.

Zhang's mother and daughter were shocked by Li Siyu's words, and Aunt Zhang said: "How can a man marry only one person in his life?" Aren't you talking nonsense, girl? ”

Li Siyu said: "This is not nonsense. "If she can only stay in ancient times in the future, she will either not marry, or she will only marry someone who will marry her only one person in her life and love her alone. She would never share her significant other with anyone.

Cao Xiuling said: "The eldest lady hasn't been married yet, where can I get my turn?" Don't make fun of me. ”

In fact, she has always been full of expectations for her future. Her life in the Hou Mansion was not satisfactory, and she hoped that she could marry a good husband in the future, take her out of the sea of suffering, and get rid of the fate of her humiliation in the Hou Mansion.

Cao Xue is two months older than Cao Xiuling, and as the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, her marriage must be reported to the emperor, and the emperor agrees that she can only marry. And Cao Xiuling, who is a concubine, doesn't need it. However, the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion is unmarried, and Aunt Zhang naturally can't find someone to marry Zhang Luo for Cao Xiuling. But if someone else comes to the door to propose, it's different.

It's just that someone will come to the door to propose?
