"You kid, you just can't wait to finish what you say. Dong Caizhu thinks that the heirs are thin and wants to accept the daughter of a pure white family as a concubine, I don't know who said that you like it very much, so the central people probed your father's tone, originally the marriage of children is decided by the parents, I discussed with your father that you are not a child, or get your consent, this matter has not been decided, you don't want to forget it, what are you doing with such an atmosphere? ”

In this era, all the marriages of children are decided by their parents, and it is very special to be able to ask for her consent, Changsheng snorted and said: "I'm not angry, I feel uncomfortable when I hear my father and mother sell me as a concubine." ”

Zhou Wang's family couldn't see their children like this, so he hurriedly pulled her to sit beside him and comforted her: "The family didn't even have enough to eat before, which of you didn't sell it, how good is life now, can you still sell your daughter?" Although the name is a concubine, she does not sign a deed of sale, and asks the matchmaker to talk about it seriously, hires her with the gift of a flat wife, marries and officially enters the family tree, and wears gold and silver for the rest of her life. I heard that the rich man Dong was born with spirit and youth, and he is literate and hyphenated, so he will not wronged you. Your father said that in order not to let you be despised after entering the door, the dowry is not kept as a dowry, if you are really greedy for money, can you do this? ”

Changsheng was really stunned when he heard this.

Zhou Houchun slowly spoke. "Your father has seen it these days when you come back, you have indeed been wronged in your life at home, and you can't even drink tea at home, and you say something else? It's okay that the time is short now, but without your monthly silver support in the future, life at home will be worse, and you can't stand it. Our family's life is good around, if you marry into a poor family, where will you receive it? If you are young, it's okay to say, slowly find you a mother-in-law in the town or a wealthy family to marry you seriously to be a main room, but your age is really hard to find, so my father thinks this family business is good. ”

Changsheng was a little relieved, although they let her be a concubine, just like Zhou Houzhen persuaded her to marry the poor and sour talent Xue Bowen as his wife, it was all for her good, but her concepts were different. In this poor country, there is no better life than to wear silk and satin, eat and drink spicy food, and that's what they think.

Before leaving the palace, she thought about her lifelong problems, and at that time she just wanted to find someone who was kind and devoted to her, if she couldn't be satisfied, even if she didn't marry. I thought that the most unfortunate thing was to find a person in the township who was temporarily poor but had a chance and was sincere to her, and the couple would definitely live a good life if they worked together, but they never wanted to be a concubine, if she wanted to be a concubine, she would not wait until now.

She got down from the edge of the kang, helped her parents to sit upright, straightened her clothes, and bowed to them respectfully as if she were in the palace, and slowly spoke.

"Father, mother, I know that you are for the good of longevity, this time I am too anxious, don't take it to heart. However, Changsheng made up his mind that even if he didn't marry, he would never be a concubine, and he would still have a chance to live a good life if he married a poor person, if he was a concubine for a lifetime, even if the Dong family hired him as a wife, he couldn't change this fact, and even his children would be despised in the future, so Changsheng would never! ”

Zhou Wangshi couldn't help but interject: "But Changsheng, in our poor place, if you marry an ordinary family, you have also seen it, although it is not to freeze and starve, but it will definitely suffer from poverty, and you will not be able to eat enough in the face of famine, the township is a rough person, and you are not in love, although you are a concubine in the house of the rich man Dong, you will enjoy happiness for a lifetime, you have to think about it." ”

"Mother, if I want to be a concubine, I became the emperor's concubine as early as when I was in the palace, what kind of status and wealth do you can imagine, and it will be rare to have a rural old wealth?"

Zhou Houchun and his wife were so surprised that they couldn't keep their mouths together, the emperor's concubine, is she a nobleman in the palace? For them, the royal family is as noble and extraordinary as the gods and Buddhas, they only have the share of worship, and Changsheng actually has the opportunity to be a concubine for the emperor?

Seeing the beauty and posture that the Changsheng Jingchai cloth skirt can't hide again, it is very likely that such a rare outstanding appearance in ten miles and eight towns will be favored by the emperor, and I don't know what to say for a while.

Zhou Wangshi suddenly remembered the layers of wraps that Changsheng deliberately used to cover her figure when she took a bath for the first time after returning home, and then she understood her intentions. At that time, I only thought she was a slave, and I was afraid that she would be taboo by her master if she was too good, but it turned out that she had another deep meaning. She didn't even want to be the emperor's concubine, so how could she be a concubine with Dong Caizhu?

Changsheng continued: "The emperor is already sixty years old, even if he is too old, his daughter still has several opportunities to be a concubine of the prince of the same age, but Changsheng has avoided it in every possible way, where will he be a concubine for an old rich man in the countryside who is forty years old?" Changsheng is not a child, he knows how to plan for himself, and asks his father and mother to respect Changsheng's intentions. ”

Zhou Houchun and his wife woke up from the shock, admiring their daughter's ambition and thinking that her heart was too big. "But you're not young anymore, the township is as big as you, which one is not holding a child? How about the delay getting bigger and bigger? Your mother and I won't be scolded to death by the backbone! ”

Changsheng comforted them: "Don't worry, Daddy, anyway, Changsheng is already a big man, and it doesn't hurt to delay it until the next year." I finally went home, I just wanted to be happy under my father's knees, and make up for the regret that no one hurt me all these years. I don't want to get married for the time being, can I wait until after the spring of next year? ”

Zhou Houchun and his wife looked at each other, anyway, the New Year was only a month away. "If you say so, it's not that my father can't afford to support you, tomorrow there will be a guest at home, and the day after tomorrow, my father will go back to the golden matchmaker. You can rest assured, no one in the family will force you to marry, you can live with peace of mind, and plan again when the spring begins! ”

Early the next morning, Zhou Houchun and his son went to the backyard to catch chickens, and the other went to the town to buy tea and wine, Zhou Wang took his two daughters-in-law to add charcoal pots to burn hot kangs, cleaned up inside and outside the house and was busy in the kitchen, and Changsheng personally dressed Yusheng and his nephews and nieces.

In the middle of noon, when the wine and meat in the courtyard were fragrant, the father and son of the Li family came with charcoal and a red lacquer gift box.

On this side, she has clearly seen that Yusheng's fiancé Li Keqin has a strong body, good facial features, and bright eyes, and looks very old and sensible, and Yusheng is a good match, and Yusheng is ashamed and happy as if he likes this young man very much, Changsheng is relieved, Yusheng is her beloved sister, she can't let her marry an unreliable person for life.

But there is some emotion in my heart, how good it would be if she was a woman who really grew up in the countryside like Yusheng, she had not seen the modern civilization of the metropolis in the previous life, she had not seen the wealth and prosperity of the palace and the capital in the present world, and her father and mother would be the master to find a reliable husband, and it would be good to simply live a lifetime.

But if Changsheng doesn't enter the palace, how can he be infected with wind and cold and die early? How could I cross over to her? The antecedents are destined to be like Yusheng in this life.
