Chapter 450: The Concubine (II)
The eldest lady was secretly annoyed in her heart, but she said attentively: "My daughter-in-law has not come to serve you for a long time, and I am very worried about it. ”
The corners of Mrs. Lu's mouth twitched, as if she was smiling, but she raised her arms and stretched out those maids and asked her to sit down and talk.
The eldest lady sat beside Mrs. Lu and raised her hand to gently pinch the old lady's legs.
Mrs. Lu looked at her with half-squinted eyes, and said slowly: "Say, what are you looking for me?" ”
The eldest lady's fingers froze slightly, and she was silent for a moment before saying, "You are still old and wise, you know that I have something to ask you if I can't open my mouth." ”
The corners of Mrs. Lu's mouth tugged proudly, and she said lazily: "Say it." ”
The eldest lady stopped her movements and whispered, "My daughter-in-law is actually here to ...... It's for the second girl. ”
Old Lady Lu's eyes shrank, "Second girl? What's wrong with her? Yibi said that Yibi got up and reached out to take the hot tea on the kang table, gently blowing the foam on it.
The eldest lady pursed her lips, and waited for Mrs. Lu to finish taking a sip of tea before she spoke: "Right now, the marriage of the third girl is about to be decided, I am anxious about the second girl's family affairs, after all, she is one year older than the third girl, according to the eldest and youngest, she should have married first." She bit her lip slightly and said: "But the daughter-in-law also knows that the Huo family is different from other families, and it is also the blessing of our Lu family to be able to marry them, so this marriage cannot be delayed, and it should be done earlier." ”
The expression on Mrs. Lu's face sank when she first heard this, but her expression relaxed slightly when she heard this, and she said lightly: "Even if you are sensible, the Huo family's family business is not easy to come by." So no matter what the reason, it is impossible for your father-in-law and I to drag it out and not let go. After a slight pause, he said slowly: "Of course, the second girl has indeed reached the age when she should get married." A few years ago, I looked for several sons for her, but unfortunately they were all due to various reasons, and now if the third girl marries first, it will indeed have a certain impact on her...... Or...... Let's take a look, if there is a suitable family, simply settle down, and then it's a big deal to marry the three girls on the same day. It's hilarious. He also said: "This girl has been by my side for half a year." When she gets married, the dowry will not be less, and I will give her as much as the three girls. You can rest assured of that. ”
The eldest lady immediately said, "My daughter-in-law is naturally relieved." also know that you will not treat the second girl badly. His eyes rolled. She exhaled deeply and said helplessly: "But a good man is so easy to find?" If you haven't been able to find a suitable one in two years, how can you find a good one in these days? ”
Old Mrs. Lu is also an old fox. As soon as he heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and immediately shrunk his eyes and asked, "What?" Do you have any plans? ”
The eldest lady pursed her lips, and there was a sudden light in her eyes, as if she had made up her mind, she said: "Yes, the daughter-in-law has a way to do both, I don't know if to talk about it or not?" ”
"Oh? The best of both worlds? Mrs. Lu shrunk her eyes and looked at her carefully from top to bottom, and then took the teacup and said, "Okay, you can talk about it, I want to hear how to do both?" ”
The eldest lady didn't hesitate too much, and said: "I think, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find a good person to marry the second girl in such a short period of time, rather than marrying her hastily, it's better to ......" Her voice trembled a little, and she quietly glanced at Mrs. Lu, and saw that Mrs. Lu was listening carefully, so she continued: "It's better to let her marry the third girl together, and let her be the concubine of the second son." ”
Speaking of the word "concubine", her heart also throbbed fiercely, after all, her daughter is her own, and she always feels uncomfortable and wronged her daughter as a concubine.
Mrs. Lu was as shocked as expected, and even forgot to put down the teacup, so she hung her hand in the air and looked at the eldest lady with the tea bowl without saying a word.
In her impression, her daughter-in-law has always been a person with a great sense of family glory and serving as a concubine? How could she be willing?
However, the eldest lady continued: "It is certainly worth celebrating that the third girl can marry into the Huo family, but you and I both know clearly that the high-ranking family is not so easy to live, and the third girl must be weak after she goes to the Huo family alone, even if she is wronged, who can stand up for her?" ”
She looked at Mrs. Lu for a moment, and then said: "Grievances are secondary, after all, life is not easy, it is inevitable to bump and bump, but heirs are always big things, right?" Can you guarantee that the third girl will definitely be able to give birth to a son to the Huo family if she marries? If she can't give birth to a son, how long can she be favored by her beauty alone? Men always eat from the bowl and look at the pot, liking the new and hating the old is the norm, maybe one day another woman will take her place, and when the time comes, the Lu family will become penniless in the eyes of the Huo family. ”
Mrs. Lu frowned deeply, I have to say, these words are quite reasonable, from the experience of those who have come over, a woman's marriage is a bet, if the bet is wrong, it will be a loss.
She pinched her fingers, raised her hand slightly, and said, "You go on." ”
Seeing that Mrs. Lu did not object, the eldest lady calmed down a little, and said slowly: "After all, the second girl is the sister of the third girl, and she has not decided on someone now, just now you also said, if the third girl marries first, it will definitely affect her, I thought about it, instead of letting the second girl marry a talentless and virtuous swinger, it is better to follow the third girl to the Huo family to be a concubine." First, she can have a place to go in the future, and second, she can also help the three girls on weekdays, and the third is also the most important, if the third girl marries and fails to give birth to a son, isn't there still a second girl? Two sisters together, I don't believe that I can't give birth to a son? When the time comes, there is the blood of the Huo family, and the road between the Huo family and the Lu family will never be broken, do you say this is the truth? ”
She said that her mouth was a little dry, and by the end her voice was a little hoarse.
Old Mrs. Lu's eyes slowly narrowed into a slit when she listened, and she was silent, and after a long time, she pulled the corners of her mouth and said lightly: "Are you really doing this for the Lu family?" ”
The eldest lady looked stunned, what she was thinking, in fact, Mrs. Lu understood after listening to her words.
Of course, the eldest lady didn't want to admit it, so she had to bite the bullet and say: "The daughter-in-law is really thinking about our Lu family, after all, having a good in-law will also be of great help to our Lu family in the future, especially a backer like the Huo family, if it is relied on, it will definitely bring benefits." ”
That's true. (To be continued......)
