Chapter 58: Wives and Concubines
"Dad, I don't want to do anything, it's just a ......" Before Yanran finished speaking, Aunt Zheng had already raised her teary eyes and spat her man: "Bah, if I hadn't married you, I would have been such a good girl, and I wouldn't have been a maid, and now I want to find a good family affair for her, and I have to worry about whether others will talk about her identity!" ”
"Hey, I said you, how do you say this?" Uncle Zheng was scolded by his wife for no reason, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, and then said: "Besides, if you don't marry me, where will you give birth to such a good girl?" Besides, if your daughter is like this, she can't marry into an official eunuch's family, but if she marries a solid family with a shop outside and land in the countryside, how can she still do it. If you want to read, you can marry a poor show! ”
"That's a sour and rotten talent, it's just a fancy to our daughter's dowry. Marry in the past, spend our daughter's dowry is not counted, and when you become famous later, I am afraid that the Yue family is just a subordinate of the Hou Mansion, and it is not good to kiss, find an excuse to divorce your wife, divorce your wife will not be successful, and those dramas are not sung? Although Aunt Zheng is worried about her daughter, she also wants to explain her daughter and sing and reconcile with her husband!
"Daddy, I'm fine, I'm really fine!" How could my father's mother's painstaking efforts not understand, she had already straightened up, looked at her father in front of her and said: "This matter, my father and mother are also clear in their hearts, we can't help it, why bother thinking about it?" ”
What do you mean by unreasonable? Aunt Zheng asked again, Uncle Zheng pulled his wife's cuffs, Aunt Zheng understood, and didn't ask, so she let her daughter rest and walked out of the house. As soon as he got out of the house and arrived in the yard, Uncle Zheng asked his wife in a low voice: "Today, did Brother Xiao Cheng say something?" ”
"I didn't say it in front of me, but when Yanran came back, she met Brother Xiao Cheng at the door!" This matter has not been in Aunt Zheng's heart for a while, so naturally the man will say it as soon as he asks.
"Could it be that Brother Xiao Cheng only wants our daughter to be a concubine? Is my daughter unhappy? When Uncle Zheng said this possibility, Aunt Zheng's face suddenly changed: "If he really dares to say this, I will kick him out with a big stick." Don't think that he has inherited his uncle's property now, he has a shop, a house, a silver and a descendant, and many people want to be close to him, so he can spoil our daughter, with his furniture of tens of thousands of silver, is it worthy? ”
Seeing that his wife suddenly became angry, Uncle Zheng immediately comforted: "Hey, I'm just saying that!" Aunt Zheng glared at the man fiercely: "I know you think this child is good, but let me tell you, if you really think that your daughter will become a concubine, I will take my daughter back to my mother's house with these rolls, and I will not see you for the rest of my life!" ”
"This is naturally not, if he really fights this idea, I will break his leg with a big stick, I really think that our Zheng family has been in the Hou Mansion for so many decades, and we can be bullied casually if we suffer hardships" Uncle Zheng's words made Aunt Zheng feel more comfortable, and it should be like this. But if Cheng Ruiru really said that he would let his daughter be a concubine, it shouldn't be like this!
"Daddy, don't guess, Brother Xiao Cheng, you didn't say anything to make me a concubine. He only said, like me, want to marry me! Yan Ran got out of bed as early as the couple came out, and secretly hid in the hall to listen. Listening to his father and mother guessing here, they couldn't help but speak.
"I want to marry you?" Uncle Zheng and his wife both asked this, and when they saw Yanran nodding, Uncle Zheng had a happy look on his face: "It's okay to be a wife!" Aunt Zheng San's heart is different from that of her own man, and she has already stepped forward to hold her daughter's hand and ask, "Yanran, do you like him?" ”
Do you like it? This Yanran didn't know, after being in the Hou Mansion for so long, she had forgotten that these subordinates, marrying someone and marrying a wife, can still pick what you like. Otherwise, how could there be those rough little maids who would quietly talk to the little maids, hoping to have a person they liked, and after a few years, they would go to the master's house, so that they could succeed.
However, most of those who do this are rough, and the personal maids of the masters, if it is not necessary, they can't even talk to the little maids, let alone like those little maids, to fight with the little maids, and do this kind of thing!
Seeing that Yanran was silent, Aunt Zheng's brows furrowed: "Don't you like it, hey, it's okay if you don't like it, and later, you will come out." Mother, slowly help you pick one! ”
"What do you say, this woman? My daughter hasn't spoken yet, don't you know that if you don't speak, you like it? "Uncle Zheng has always liked Cheng Ruiru, and it would be a good thing if he could really be his son-in-law! It's just that Cheng Ruiru came back with a fortune, and if Uncle Zheng opened his mouth, he was afraid that Cheng Ruiru would look down on him. Now Cheng Ruiru took the initiative to speak, it was a happy event from heaven, I wish my daughter would agree immediately, and then in a few months, I would ask for the grace of the master's family and release my daughter to get married!
"This is a woman's business, what are you doing with a man?" Aunt Zheng glanced at her man, and then asked her daughter earnestly: "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, this matter, you still have to take the big thing, do you like it or not?" ”
"I, I don't know!" Yanran thought about it for a long time, and this is the only answer she can have. What is this called? Third Uncle Zheng was already anxious, but Aunt Zheng still glared at him, and nodded: "The girl's family is like this." Don't pay attention to your father, tonight, our mother and son will sleep, and my mother will talk to you! ”
"What about me?" This change is too fast, and the shrewd Uncle Zheng couldn't help but ask in a daze. Aunt Zheng had already pulled her daughter into the house and slammed the door on the ground: "You, go sleep with your son!" ”
Uncle Zheng still wanted to object, but then he laughed, just let it go, the affairs of this woman's family will be handled by the woman's family. It's time to clean up and sleep, why hasn't the stinky boy who sent Cheng Ruiru back yet, what kind of daughter-in-law does this kid want to marry, it's really a heart!
"You must know that although my Zheng family is a subordinate, my sister is also the treasure of the whole family, she is only three or four years old, and our family has saved her for a dowry. You say you want to marry her, then show sincerity. Otherwise, I won't be able to spare anyone with this fist! Second Brother Zheng sent Cheng Ruiru out, asked dead questions on the way, and finally forced out Cheng Ruiru's words, Second Brother Zheng's face changed suddenly, this kind of heart-to-heart baby who has been hurting since childhood, it feels really bad to be coveted by the wild boy outside!
Well, to be exact, Cheng Ruiru is not a wild boy, although he has been down for so many years, but now he also has an industry with silver, and he can be regarded as personable when he wears a few good clothes, it is said that such a person is worthy of his sister, and he is also a good match, but Second Brother Zheng still feels that something is wrong, and he can't help but threaten!
This threat is not Cheng Ruiru's heart, Heng Zhu will have to face the Zheng family sooner or later, and it is always a good thing to be able to convince one more person to stand on his side. Hearing Second Brother Zheng's words, Cheng Ruiru said: "Second brother's words, I remember, Yanran is not a free body at the moment, I am good friends with Aunt Shi, as long as Yanran accompanies Miss Hou Fu out of the pavilion, this is just a matter of one sentence!" ”
"Is that a wife or a concubine? Don't think I don't know, you people keep saying well, but when it comes, you will think that after all, you are just a person who serves people, how can you only be allowed to be a concubine! If you really want to be wronged and be a concubine, why not simply stay in the Hou Mansion and be the concubine of the prince, how can you still be the concubine of this ordinary rich family? My daughter of the Zheng family can't afford to lose this face! Although Cheng Ruiru said very sincerely, Second Brother Zheng didn't intend to let him go, and still asked.
This made Cheng Ruiru smile on her face: "I have a long love for Yanran, since I like her, how can I let her be wronged and become a concubine?" She is naturally my Cheng Ruiru's wife. "Really? Second Brother Zheng glanced at Cheng Rui Rucai and said, "Your sentence is quite sincere, but let's wait and see!" ”
Although he was not very willing, his words were already a little soft. Cheng Ruiru nodded hurriedly and called the second brother again. Second Brother Zheng touched his arm with his hand: "It's not shameful to call me Second Brother, you are one year older than me!" Cheng Ruiru smiled again, and Second Brother Zheng looked at Cheng Ruiru's face carefully before saying, "It's night, go back quickly, so as not to make a mistake when you get it, that's not good!" ”
Second Brother Zheng's tone was already very gentle at this time, and Cheng Rui hurriedly arched at Second Brother Zheng, and left in a hurry. He left, Second Brother Zheng's eyebrows were still wrinkled very tightly, and he agreed to everything, which can be explained that this person likes his sister very much, so he is very sincere. It can also be explained that he has a ghost in his heart, so he deceived people first. Which one exactly? Second Brother Zheng was there with his hands behind his back, thinking slowly in a circle at the mouth of the alley, thinking that it was already late and all the neighbors around him were closed to sleep, so Second Brother Zheng went home with his hands behind his back.
This door is not closed, this area is lived by the people of the Hou Mansion, and all the people who come and go are acquaintances, not to mention the Zheng family, even if it is a young woman who lives alone with a child, she will not close the door tightly, and she is prepared for something with the owner, and she has to wake everyone up when she comes to look for someone. Besides, in this piece, in addition to being afraid of people being stolen, I am not worried about other things being stolen!
Second Brother Zheng entered the door and walked to the back cover room where he lived, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he heard his father make a faint voice there: "I'm back!" Second Brother Zheng asked with some surprise: "Dad, why are you sleeping here!" ”
"Your mother, you said that you want to talk to Yanran and bring me here to sleep, well, and your brother, this stinky boy, was also kicked out!" Uncle Zheng sat up as he spoke. Second Brother Zheng found another quilt and came out: "Then Dad, you can sleep there, I'll get together on this counter for one night!" ”
"I've been woken up, I'm old, I can't sleep. Come, let's talk! Uncle Zheng tucked the quilt tighter for his youngest son, looked at his son and asked.
