Chapter 235: Concubinage
The next few days were very dull, that is, the New Year's often ushered in and sent, and gifts were exchanged. Wen Hui felt very boring, but she took the time to get together with her friends a few times. When I came back, I was very disappointed.
Wen Hui was sitting with her cheeks in her hands, Qiu Bi poured a cup of fragrant tea and said, "Girl, in the past, you were very happy every time you had a party with those girls, why is this the case this time?" ”
Wen Hui said: "Hey, it's really different now than before. First of all, Sister Lan Caiyu. She was the first to marry and is now pregnant. Of course it's a good thing, and we're all happy for her. She was also generous, and she came out to play with us while pregnant. Of course, it's also because she is not having a good time and wants to play with her sisters and change her mood. ”
Qiu Bi asked strangely: "Miss Lan is the most open-minded, and is she not comfortable?" You must know that the Lan family and the Wang family have always been good friends, and in recent years, they have been doing business together, and the two good ones are the same as the other. This Caiyu girl got married, and the Wang family went up and down, from the old lady of the Wang family to Mrs. Wang, they all loved her very much, and handed over the housekeeping of the family to her. Also, there is only one sister-in-law of the Wang family, Miss Yaozhen, this is Miss Caiyu's friend, is there anything better than this? I heard that their sister-in-law is the most compatible. Also, Miss Caiyu's husband is the eldest young master of the Wang family, and he respects and loves his wife very much. What's missing? ”
Wen Hui smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Caiyu has been married for two years before, but she has never been pregnant, and the Wang family has not said anything, just waiting. It's so easy to get pregnant, the Wang family and the Lan family are very happy, but according to the rules of big families, this pregnancy can't be in the same room with the husband, so you have to arrange a concubine to have sex or something. Do you think this can not be disturbing? ”
Qiu Bi grew up with Wen Hui. has the best relationship with Wen Hui, and has no scruples about speaking in front of Wen Hui. At this time, he said: "Hey, this is also a helpless thing, everyone is like this." is the exception of our family, the lord has never had a concubine, only guards the wife. So, it's better to marry a big family than to marry a small family, monogamous. Even eating bran throat vegetables is also comfortable, at least there are no such bad things. ”
Wen Hui said: "Yes, so, although Sister Caiyu is bitter in her heart, she still has to pretend to be generous on the outside." cared for the two concubines, of course, this was even more praised by the Wang family, but this was bitter. I had to play with us and scattered. ”
Qiu Bi couldn't help but gossip when she heard this, and said, "Why do you still get two at a time?" Who are they? ”
Wen Hui said: "Sister Caiyu said that one is a girl who Wang Zhicheng has been friends with outside for a long time, and it seems that she is a red card lady in the Qinglou, and she just took this opportunity to admit in. One is a maid who had a room before, and it is Sister Caiyu's own dowry maid. In fact, in addition to these two concubines, Wang Zhicheng also has three rooms, one is another dowry maid of Sister Caiyu, and two are Wang Zhicheng's own big maids before. It can be seen that we still say that Wang Zhicheng is good on weekdays. It's also a one, not a good thing. ”
Qiu Bi smiled and said, "The young masters of these big families are all like this. The eldest young master of the Wang family is quite good. There are only two maids in the room, and I also know a lot of maids from big families in this city, those young masters, all the maids, whether they are close-fitting big maids or second-class. The third-class little maid can't escape the clutches. It's all a matter of idleness. Where can you be as clean as these two young masters in our house. ”
When Wen Hui heard this, she couldn't help but think of what she saw in her previous life, Jia Baoyu's maids, no matter how big or small, weren't they all Baoyu's hearts? It's just that Baoyu didn't mess around with them.
I can't help but feel sick when I think about it, it's really a wicked old society. At this time, Qiu Bi said again: "Miss Caiyu is like this, but other girls are so good, everyone should have fun?" ”
Wen Hui couldn't help but be angry when she heard this, and said, "Hey, the others are even worse." Sister Lan Yingyu has already made a marriage. This is also a good thing, after all, they are all older, it's time, and the object of the marriage is also very good, that is, the brother of Sister Shuyu. This is a kiss and a kiss, and I think that Sister Yingyu will not be able to stand it in the future. Needless to say, Sister Mingzhu has already made a marriage with Liu Jingyuan, and she will be married this fall. The rest are Sister Yaozhen and Sister Shuyu. But these two people are going to marry to the Inspector's Mansion as concubines in a few days. It's frustrating to think about. Now they're getting married. If I hadn't invited them, neither of them would have dared to offend me, so where could they have come out to play with us? As a result, people are coming out, but it's better not to come out, and eating a meal makes people angry. ”
Qiu Biqi said: "What's the matter with having a meal?" ”
Wen Hui said: "Have a meal, during the banquet, when everyone talked about this matter, Shuyu's face was arrogant, as if he had entered the palace as a concubine, wasn't he just a concubine?" As for it? Is it so proud to be a concubine for Liu Yan? It seems that she can come to the party with us for the sake of playing together since childhood, because she misses the old, and in the future, her identity is prominent, so she naturally can't play with us like this, so she cherishes this opportunity. Hey, there's a lot of stuff like that anyway. is better to me, to her cousins, especially Sister Caiyu, she said, you are my own cousin, but you are a businesswoman, and your identity is far from mine, so naturally you can't always be together, but I'm afraid it's difficult to see each other. It's really angry with Sister Caiyu. ”
Wen Hui said while learning the appearance of Shuyu, Qiu Bi couldn't help laughing. Wen Hui said: "We were all very angry, I was about to talk about her at the time, but Sister Wan Qiaozhen was the most anxious, she first snatched a few words from Shuyu, which probably means that Shuyu is just a concubine, not a princess, a side concubine, and she doesn't recognize her own cousin." She is not the only one who has entered the palace at this table, and Yaozhen. ”
Qiu Bi said: "That's right, this Qiaozhen girl seems to have set up a family, right?" ”
Wen Hui said: "Yes, Sister Qiaozhen is a big family in Qingyang City set for her by the family, she is in the porcelain business, and the family is also very rich. And I am good friends with Qiaozhen's sister's father, and the two families are also world friends, I heard that the man is also very good-looking, very good-looking, and shrewd and capable in business. Sister Qiaozhen herself is also very satisfied, we all mentioned that she was happy, how do you know that this has also become the reason why Shuyu looks down on Sister Qiaozhen, because Qiaozhen will be a businesswoman in the future. It's really a dog's eye to look down on people, and a concubine can be like this. ”
Qiu Bi said: "Before, I felt that Miss Shuyu was different from you, and she was always more arrogant than others, probably because of these girls, from you, Miss Mingzhu, Miss Huang Tingzhen was born in an official eunuch's family, and she also looked at it differently, and she always looked down on these girls from other merchants. ”
Wen Hui sighed and said, "Yes." Just thinking about it, after all, they are sisters who have been friends for many years, and they can tolerate even a little problem. But I didn't expect that in the middle of the meal, she squeezed Sister Yaozhen, and everyone broke up unhappily. ”
Qiu Bi was surprised: "Miss Yaozhen is going to enter the palace of the fourth prince with her as a concubine, with the same identity, she should unite and deal with the eldest girl and princess of our family." Why did you crowd out Miss Yaozhen instead? ”
Wen Hui also said strangely: "Yes, according to normal people's thinking, they are all concubines, and they are good friends who have played together since childhood, so they should deal with the main house together." Besides, we know this main house, where is the ability of the big sister that these little girls in remote places in the south of the Yangtze River can compare, that is, the two of them can't fight together. That's why I asked Liu Yan to help take care of them more for my sake. Who knows, they fought among themselves first. No, that's not right. It can't be said that they are infighting, Sister Yaozhen still treats her as always, but she has always been sneering, as if Sister Yaozhen is her biggest enemy. I'm really worried about Sister Yaozhen, this time I entered Liu Yan's mansion, first I have to deal with the scheming big sister, and I have to deal with such a stupid Shuyu, the most terrible thing is that we all know that Liu Yan doesn't have Sister Yaozhen in his heart at all, how should he live in the future? ”
Qiu Bi was also worried when she heard this, and said, "I can't say it, girl, you take care of it more." However, I like Miss Yaozhen very much, she has a straightforward personality and no heart. But that's what makes people worry even more. ”
Wen Hui sighed.
The master and servant are chatting here, and the patrol house is quiet, although in a few days, Liu Yan will accept two concubines at the same time, but this is a concubine after all, in the eyes of a large family, this is a small matter, a small thing like eating and sleeping every day, no one will go to Zhang Luo for this. Of course, it is Liu Jingyuan who is in charge of the affairs of the house now. Of course, it was also managed by Liu Jingyuan before, but the princess was taking care of it for a month when the princess came. Now that the princess has been grounded, it is naturally Liu Jingyuan who takes care of it, and Liu Jingyuan is also very proficient, but he has prepared two courtyards for Wang Yaozhen and Li Shuyu, and these two courtyards are whitewashed and decorated, and the lights are colorful.
Liu Jing didn't take this seriously, but he couldn't stand the request of his sweetheart Mingzhu to treat Yaozhen well, so he made Yaozhen's residence extra good. As for Shuyu's, it's made according to general specifications. Mingzhu was originally a jealous and hateful person, because Shuyu's appearance at the previous party made Mingzhu furious and told Liu Jingyuan not to give Shuyu face. Liu Jingyuan didn't pay much attention to Shuyu, so the difference between the two courtyards was revealed. The people in the house are all human spirits, and they immediately knew that the two aunts, the one from the Wang family has a backstage, and the one from the Li family can't, so they have all figured out how to stand in line.
Time passed quickly, and it was the twentieth day of the first month, and Li Shuyu and Wang Yaozhen were carried into the patrol mansion in a small sedan chair. There is no sedan chair, no dowry team, and no person to greet relatives, and the concubine is treated like this.
