Chapter Twenty-Eight: Concubinage (Second Watch)
Regarding Qi Wu's words, Qin Zhaocheng was naturally unclear. If he knew, he would probably feel very proud and praise him for his vision.
On the day of the big victory, while the whole people were having fun, Qin Zhaocheng said that he would take a concubine.
Although everyone was surprised that the marshal did not marry a wife but took a concubine, it was a happy event in the end.
What's more, he is not an outsider, but the sister of Zhou Ming and Zhou Xiaojiang, even if he is his own person, everyone can't help but say hello to the marshal and Zhou Xiaojun.
Although it is just a concubine, it is not as formal as marrying a wife, but there is also a certain etiquette.
Even if it's just a concubine, it needs a matchmaker to make peace, which can be regarded as a Ming media's marriage; Second, although she does not worship her parents in heaven and earth, she can also take this opportunity to hold a feast and inform everyone of her identity.
Although she doesn't worship her parents in heaven and earth, she can't wear a red wedding dress, and even enter through the side door in a small sedan chair, this concubine's room is also extremely beautiful.
What's more, this is the first time the marshal has taken a concubine, earlier than the main wife enters the door, and no concubine room has such dignity.
After Zhou Danian and his wife got the news, they immediately rushed over, and simply lived in their son Zhou Ming's home in Minzhou, and even Zhou Ming's wife Song also ran away because of his husband's heart, and Zhou Zhen'er naturally wanted to go back to Zhou's house to prepare for marriage.
In the past few days, Zhou Zhener felt as if she was dreaming, and the whole person was fluttering and had no sense of reality. Why didn't she expect that she would be able to marry Marshal Qin so soon. She thought she would have to wait until he got married! So, in addition to being happy, she was also a little nervous and apprehensive.
Tomorrow is the day she gets married, and Zhou Zhener can't sleep with some excitement.
Fortunately, her mother Wen and sister-in-law Song came to talk to her, and she gradually calmed down.
It was late, Song left, and Wen came down alone to accompany her daughter, and she said something intimate.
Zhou Zhen'er was able to get what she wanted, and Wen was sincerely happy for her daughter.
Although she has always been resentful that her daughter is not a wife. But knowing that the Qin family valued her daughter so much, the last trace of dissatisfaction in her heart gradually dissipated.
She touched her hair, looked at Zhou Zhen'er and said, "Zhen'er, you have always had a simple personality, except for knowing some martial arts, you have almost no special skills. But you took a fancy to Qin Youan again, and you had to hang him on this tree. My mother also advised you not to, if there is any other choice, my mother will not agree to you marrying him as a concubine. But now, the wood is in the boat, you can live a good life with him in the future! In the future, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, and know to be tolerant of one or two things, after all, you are not a wife. β
"Mother-" Zhou Zhen'er called out to her both shyly and moving.
"But then again, if you encounter something, you don't have to be too humble and forbearing, because there is still our Zhou family behind you, and we will make the decision for you." Wen wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, you can be regarded as bitter, the Qin family attaches so much importance to you, and you can rest assured as a mother." β
Hearing this, Zhou Zhen'er bit her lip lightly, lowered her head slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
It's not like she doesn't understand anything, either.
Mother only thought that the Qin family was vastly accepting her concubine and valued herself, but in fact, she knew that this was not the case at all.
Aunt Qin had told her before, saying that she would only accept her after You'an married her, and she had already been mentally prepared, and she didn't think about marrying You'an so soon.
You'an doesn't have much affection for herself, and Aunt Qin is very repulsive to her for being You'an's concubine, how can she suddenly change her attitude?
She knew there must be something in it, but she didn't want to think about it.
Anyway, she got what she wanted, didn't she?
That's enough.
At this time, I only heard Wen sigh again: "I still don't understand, since the Qin family likes you so much, why can't they marry you?" β
When Zhou Zhen'er heard this, she hurriedly said: "Mother, don't say that, I'm already very satisfied to be You'an's concubine." β
"Silly child, how can anyone want to be a concubine and not a wife? Don't fool me. Wen said.
"I didn't coax my mother, the marshal already has someone he likes. Her character and methods are better than mine, and she is the one who can be worthy of the marshal. Zhou Zhen'er endured the sourness in her heart and said.
Wen really didn't know about this, so he immediately frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense, if the marshal values her so much, why didn't he marry her first, but marry you first?" β
"I don't know." Zhou Zhen'er's eyes were red, and she shook her head and said.
"That's it. In my opinion, even if the marshal really takes a fancy to her, he may not pay much attention to her. You are the first woman the marshal married, and you will take the lead in the first place, as long as you can take the lead in encircling the marshal before he marries his wife, even if the mistress passes through the door in the future, you don't have to be afraid. Wen worked hard to make her daughter feel better when she entered the door.
If Qin Youan's heart was in his daughter, Zhen'er would not be able to endure hardship. What's more, the relationship between the Zhou and Qin families is also different. After Zhen'er got married, how could the Qin family take care of Zhen'er.
"What my mother said is true?" When Zhou Zhen'er heard this, she was thoughtful, and even sobbed quietly.
"When did my mother lie to you." Wen smiled, "It would be better if you could give birth to a son earlier than her." β
"But......" Zhou Zhen'er was a little uneasy, "I'm just a concubine, if I give birth to a child earlier than the main room, wouldn't this be a mess of the system?" The Qin family may not agree. β
"Why wouldn't you agree?" Wen didn't care, "If you are pregnant, they will only be happy, will they really kill this child?" β
Zhou Zhen'er frowned, she still felt a little uneasy, so she could only say, "Mother, you said this too early." β
"It's not early, you are young now, and the child is easy to conceive, maybe you will have it as soon as you enter the door! You have to prepare early. Wen said.
In fact, she still has a layer of selfishness

In fact, she still has a layer of selfishness.
Qin Youan is now extraordinary, he can be regarded as a prince, and his future will definitely not be short, let alone being a prince or something, if his daughter gives birth to an eldest son, this huge family business may not be able to fall on him.
Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Who is the marshal's crush you just mentioned?" β
Zhou Zhen'er said with a gloomy expression: "It's Miss Shen, the righteous daughter of Vice Marshal Xu." β
When she saw Miss Shen, she knew what a lady was? What is the bearing of the master mother.
If she were a man, she would have been chosen as his wife.
When Wen heard that she was so big, he was immediately dumbfounded.
only talking about family background, their family is really not as good as others, so they can only say stiffly: "Don't be presumptuous, even if her family background is good, but you go first, just by virtue of this, she has to be polite to you." It's a pity that this is really unreliable.
Zhou Zhen'er took it seriously and nodded.
In this way, when she treats Miss Shen, she doesn't have to be so inferior and lower herself to the dust!
β¦β¦
On the other side, the Xu family.
Mrs. Xu was also indignant.
"The Qin family is really too much, I knew that they were so unreliable, I wouldn't give him Jingfang anything. Now you dare to embarrass us, after Jingfang marries, can you still get it? β
"Just say a few words! I think this is all thanks to your mouth, and I will detain Huizhu in the future, and I can't let her cause trouble again. Xu Zhaoting said with a dark face.
"Can we blame Huizhu for this? Mrs. Qin is such a big person, embarrassed to worry about a child? Besides, our Huizhu has already apologized to her, what else does she want? I said it well, pretending to be generous and not caring, and turned my head and gave us a knife, I really misjudged her. Mrs. Xu's face was pale, and she stroked her chest, and she became angry when she mentioned it.
Since she knew that Qin Zhaocheng was going to take a concubine, she hadn't been able to sleep well and eat well for several days.
Although she also knew that she was at fault first, she hadn't already come to the door to apologize.
Almost everyone knows about the marriage of the Xu Qin family. When the Qin family did this, it was simply a slap in the face of the Xu family.
I don't know how many people are waiting to see their jokes!
She hadn't gone out for days in a row, and she was afraid of seeing the pitying and mocking looks of others.
Mrs. Xu wanted to push this family business hard, but after thinking about it, she was reluctant, so she could only sulk by herself.
Mrs. Xu was in a bad mood, and even the atmosphere of the entire Xu family dropped to freezing point, and no one dared to speak loudly at all. It is in stark contrast to the bustle of other places.
Not to mention Mrs. Xu, it was Xu Zhaoting, and her face was a little unbearable.
Before, his three sons almost came to the door to settle accounts with the Qin family, but fortunately, they were all stopped by Xu Zhaoting in the end, so they didn't make jokes.
"Why do you think this is Madam Qin's idea?" Xu Zhaoting said, "Maybe it's Marshal Qin's meaning!" β
Mrs. Xu laughed angrily when she heard this: "How is it possible! Our family Jingfang is personally favored by Marshal Qin, and he is willing to let Jingfang be wronged? It must be that he can't withstand Mrs. Qin's pressure, so he wants to use this method to make Mrs. Qin angry. After all, filial piety is greater than heaven. β
"Whoever it means, anyway, it's already like this, and it's useless for you to complain." Xu Zhaoting said impatiently, "If you hadn't chewed your tongue behind your back, so many things wouldn't have happened." β
Seeing that Mrs. Xu still wanted to say, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't say it, let's rest!" Don't say these words again in the future, don't show any love when you see Mrs. Qin, our Jingfang's marriage can't stand the toss. β
This sentence can be regarded as poking Mrs. Xu's death hole. No matter how angry she was, she didn't dare to joke about Jingfang's marriage, so she could only lie down and sleep sullenly.
In the past few days, Xu Huizhu has also seen that the situation is wrong, and has become extremely honest, either staying in her own room, or obediently following her sister to embroider in the room, in short, she just doesn't go to her parents.
Only Shen Jingfang looked like she was fine, what should she do or what should she do, and she didn't feel a little sad.
In fact, after knowing the news, she was embarrassed, and she was even relieved.
She knew that the Qin family was using this matter to knock the Xu family, or rather, to beat her.
No matter what, this matter is indeed the fault of the Xu family first.
Even if they come to the door to apologize, it won't change this fact.
If this matter is not completely resolved, even if she marries, this matter will be like a thorn between her and her husband. Even when her mother-in-law sees her, she will think of it, no matter how good she is, she may not be pleasing to the eye, and even wonder if she is saying that she is not behind her back.
This is something she absolutely does not want to see.
But now it's different.
The Qin family had already embarrassed the Xu family by taking a concubine before marrying a wife, and this matter was completely settled.
Perhaps, because of the concubine, the Qin family will feel guilty about her, which will be very beneficial for her to integrate into the Qin family in the future.
Moreover, she was also glad that it was Zhou Zhen'er who was accepted by the Qin family.
Zhou Zhen'er is old, but he has no scheming and ambition, and he has many weaknesses, which is easy to control.
Such a person is no threat to her. Even if she has the upper hand, she may not win her.
Therefore, even if tomorrow is the day of her prospective fiancΓ©'s concubine, she is very calm.
I only hope that the Qin family will not let her give birth to her eldest son early.
Shen Jingfang finished embroidering the last stitch, and after collecting the stitches, she looked at the jumping candlelight with an indifferent expression.
β¦β¦
It's the matter of taking a concubine, it has no impact on Qin Shu, anyway, there is a housekeeper in Zhang Luo, and she doesn't understand the details of the concubine, so it's useless to ask her.
After knowing that the concubine didn't need to come forward by herself, Qin Shu also let go of her hand and didn't care about this matter.
Ultimately
12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!
In the final analysis, she is still a little resistant to Concubine You'an, and she simply can't see it.
However, many big families with heads and faces in Minzhou took the opportunity of Marshal Qin's concubine to send congratulatory gifts, which was close.
When I fought before, I was at stake, I didn't know whether I won or lost, and I didn't have that chance. Now that the imperial army has been defeated and retreated, and Marshal Qin is here to cover the sky with one hand, if they don't know how to move forward, they will be fools.
The marshal's concubine is the best opportunity.
Therefore, in the past few days, Qin Shu has not been idle, she has met a lot of people, and she has also dealt with many ladies a few times.
Those ladies are very knowledgeable, most of the time, they are trying their best to hold her, all of them are exquisite, they can speak well, there is absolutely no cold scene, Qin Shu did not feel embarrassed.
It's just that when they came to visit, they all had a few beautiful girls with them, and they were obviously eyeing the position of the marshal's wife.
Even if they hear the rumors, the Qin and Xu families may get married, but isn't it still finalized? There is a chance for anyone.
Those girls, Qin Shu has also seen them, they are indeed very good, not to mention proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they all have their own specialties, and most of them have a good hand in needlework, and most of them are dignified and atmospheric types, after all, they are coming for the position of their wife.
Qin Shu was simply dazzled, and there were a few who were to her liking, but she knew that You'an should leave the position of his wife to Miss Shen, so she just praised it, and didn't say much else, which disappointed those ladies and young ladies.
Without further ado, soon, it was time to take a concubine.
Although the marshal's mansion does not need to be decorated with lights everywhere, it also tries its best to arrange it to be more festive, especially the courtyard where the wedding room is located, which is better arranged in red, very festive, and it is the first time the marshal has taken a concubine, which is unusual.
