Chapter 16 Ministers, the aunts of Chengfu
Listening to the old men of Chengfu in the kitchen, the second aunt was looking forward to marrying the lover who had been waiting for her when she was old, but in the end, Chengfu was cheaper. Xu is because he mourns more than dies, the second aunt has not been very favored over the years, and her appearance looks older than her actual age, and she is not as young as Cheng Zhang, who is several years older. However, Li Junran still saw from the emaciated face of the second aunt that she was indeed a beauty back then.
Li Junran secretly felt sorry for the second aunt, even if she was in her early twenties, it was still a flower-like age. I just wore a dark blue cardigan skirt and tried to dress up in the direction of the old woman, this is not the rhythm of falling out of favor and hoping to be forgotten.
After Li Junran glanced at the second aunt a few times, she turned her attention to the charming and touching third aunt. It's still beautiful to look at, although this is a poisonous poppy/poppy, and I always want my own life.
Because only the main room is allowed to wear red, so today the third aunt chose a light red bandeau skirt as if washed, with a large ball of pink peony embroidered on the Luo skirt, and a white gauze on the outside, revealing a slender neck and a very sexy collarbone. The skirt of the Luo skirt is very large, embroidered with incumbersome dark patterns with silver thread, and it is like a sparkling wave between actions. The three thousand green silks like black satin are just pulled up with a snow-white white hosta, and a little powder is applied, which makes it even more obvious that the third aunt's skin is better than frost and snow, as if it is white and flawless.
It can be seen that in order to invite peace today, the third aunt specially dressed up carefully. In modern times, it is often said that three points of beauty and seven points of makeup, and most of this beauty relies on makeup. In fact, this sentence is still applicable in this strange overhead dynasty. What's more, these three aunts are pure natural beauties with seven or eight points of beauty. is so carefully dressed, and it is not surprising that the second aunt next to her who has nothing to do with her old age has been loved by the Cheng Mansion, who is already beautiful, for many years.
The fourth aunt heard that it was a certain Jiangdu thin horse sent by a business partner of Chengfu's family, but unfortunately because of the aunt's competition for favor some time ago, she had been given cannon fodder along with the good concubine Seventh Aunt who was hired from outside. To say that Aunt Seven is also a poor person, if it weren't for a gambling addict, she wouldn't have been sold to the Cheng Mansion. As a result, it has been less than half a year since the process of the house, and the simple-minded seventh aunt has been given cannon fodder.
The fifth aunt and the sixth aunt are twin sisters, almost identical in appearance, and the visual effect for Li Junran is definitely 1+1 greater than 2. Five or six aunts were originally born children who were waiting by Mrs. Cheng's side in the capital, because Mr. Cheng had been the daughter of Miss Cheng and Miss Cheng for so many years, and they were sent over by Mrs. Cheng, who knew what virtues her son had, and they belonged to self-production and self-sale. The age of the two aunts is actually not very old, and this year is only twenty-eight years old.
Twins or something, these years are still rare, especially if they look almost identical. Since the fifth aunt and the sixth aunt entered the Cheng Mansion, the third aunt who represents true love is not enough, and even fell out of favor for a while. To say that the third aunt is also a wonderful person, knowing that the new Maokeng also has three days of incense, so on a certain windy and dark night, Cheng Mansion's family went to Fang Pavilion to contact their feelings and came back, and the white clothes fluttered and appeared on the road that Cheng Mansion's family must pass......
When Li Junran sorted out the remaining memories of Qiliu and recalled this paragraph, he couldn't help but want to vomit. Wow, isn't it, in the middle of the night in the cold wind, dressed in white, he was not even regarded as a certain fluttering, which scared people to faint. Should I lament that the third aunt was lucky not to be shot to death by the family in charge of the inspection, or should I say that Master Cheng is bold and bold?
Anyway, the final result is that the third aunt has successfully activated the true love attribute in the memory of Cheng Fudang's family after recalling the wind and snow of the year, and hooked Cheng Qingye back to Yilan Yuan from the twin sisters. It is said that in order to save Master Cheng's heart, the third aunt also gritted her teeth and sacrificed Xue Lian, a cronie in her room. Snow Lotus, that is, the current Ninth Aunt, can be said to be as cold as the name suggests, like a white lotus on the snow mountain.
What you can't get is always the best. In fact, Cheng Fu's family has been eyeing the snow lotus in the third aunt Yilan Yuan for a day or two, but the third aunt is jealous on weekdays, and she has been watching it closely, so she really can't find a chance to start. That is, because she got what she wanted, and the freshness of the twin sisters' flowers has passed, the third aunt finally passed the rain and the sky was clear, and she guarded her status again. It's not easy~~ In other words, after the third aunt experienced the twin sister flower incident, she had a full sense of crisis, so much so that now she has adopted a strict defense strategy for the little seedlings that may dig her corner, but whenever there is a hint of wind and grass, she will resolutely cut it off. Not to mention, the appearance of a few cronies who were serving him quickly dropped by several percentage points, although it did not become like a flower, but it also took a big step forward in the direction of Sister Feng.
As for the eighth aunt, there are various versions of gossip in the house, and it is said that the origin is not small. It's a pity that Li Junran tried hard to recall the remnants of Qiliu's memory for a long time, but still found nothing. Looking at the entire Cheng Mansion, no one seems to know where the eighth aunt is sacred. She was brought back to the house by Cheng Qingye, the head of Cheng Mansion, who went out for business once, and lived in Feng Yaju, which was second only to the upper room of the main courtyard. And the eighth aunt is also in-depth and simple on weekdays, which is very mysterious. Xiao Qiliu has only seen Aunt Eight twice from afar in Cheng Mansion for more than a year.
Li Junran tilted her head and looked at the eighth aunt who was sitting closest to the door of the upper room, and found that the eighth aunt's appearance was not outstanding among the six existing aunts, but there was no way to ignore her existence. Her indifference makes people feel very intimate, and they can't help but want to get close to her. Li Junran briefly observed the words and deeds of the eighth aunt, and it was almost certain that the eighth aunt was really not small, at least she had received a very systematic teaching in front of the process mansion. Otherwise, it is impossible to show a style in this speech and demeanor, just a label, and the seven big characters "Sister is everyone's lady" are written on it.
Those nobles of the family, no matter what they do in private, on the surface, pay the most attention to some rules and regulations. So much so that the children cultivated in it will always show up inadvertently in their daily life. Li Junran didn't know where Cheng Qingye, the head of the Cheng Mansion, had abducted the eighth aunt, but one thing was for sure, another flower was inserted on it.
Li Junran was surprised to find that the Cheng Mansion was not big, it was just an imperial merchant's mansion, and the sources of the concubines in it were quite complete. It's really a sparrow, it's small, but it's all sorted. There are self-produced and self-sold types, including the second aunt who was originally the young lady's marrying girl, five or six twin aunts who were born in the family, and the ninth aunt who was originally a cronie next to the third aunt, all of which belong to the fat water and do not flow out.
There are business partners who give each other a gift, which is the fourth aunt who was dropped by cannon fodder in front. It can be seen that there is really not much sense of security in being a concubine, and there are men who are given as gifts to men next to them at any time. One of the representative figures has a heroic style of writing, which can be called Mr. Dongpo of a generation. Even though Mr. Dongpo has a deep affection for his wife Wang, there are not a group of concubines in the backyard. And these concubines, the final outcome is either death or giving away, even if they are pregnant, they are not spared. Even the most famous singer Chaoyun, the only concubine who was not given away by Mr. Dongpo, has suffered with Mr. Dongpo for many years, and the inscription after his death is only the word "Ji Ren".
And the fourth aunt was originally a thin horse in a certain Jiangdu, and the thin horse and Qing/Lou are both the birthplace of concubines.
Excluding the above models, there are also good concubines hired outside, the third aunt who was originally a cousin in the distance is counted as one, plus the seventh aunt who died in front of her is also a good concubine. Good concubines are generally mostly free people, that is, ordinary ordinary people. Although the status is not as good as that of the flat wife, it is slightly higher than the concubine next to him. In any case, a concubine is nothing more than a standing woman, and she is no better than a slave or maid who sells herself into slavery.
Li Junran looked around the hall and found that in addition to the two young ladies of Cheng Mansion, there were only a few aunts in the hall. I haven't seen many of the legendary girls, which is somewhat strange. But after thinking about it, I figured it out. The girl in the room, in fact, still belongs to the category of girls, this status is naturally not as good as those aunts, to put it bluntly, in addition to taking care of the living life of the master's family, she also has to be responsible for warming the bed. If you can be promoted to your aunt after opening your face, you can be regarded as half a master, and there is a girl waiting for you. If not...... It will be difficult to marry in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Junran secretly made up his mind, saying that he would work hard to save money no matter what, and then low-key waited for the age to redeem his deed of sale. Otherwise...... is really dangerous to the scum attribute of Cheng Fu's family's flowery radish.
