Her mother asked, "Are you attracted to him?" ”

Lin Qingcheng shook her head, and she replied sneeringly: "No." ”

"Then what are you bothered about? If he has affection for you, your marriage is the icing on the cake, but it doesn't matter, you respect each other as guests to protect yourself. ”

"The father's intentions and the daughter are puzzled."

Lin Qingcheng's confused look was imprinted into Lin Shangshu's eyes.

He explained, "People in high positions are naturally afraid of being watched, and your father and I are no exception, if the Lin family can't keep it, you at least have Lu Chenyuan as a backer." ”

"Don't look at his young age, if he doesn't know how to strategize, then he won't be above 10,000 people today."

Lin Shangshu repeatedly advised: "You have to be careful with Lu Chenyuan, obedience is the best protection for yourself." ”

Lin Shangshu's words were criticizing Lin Tingcheng's self-assertion just now.

She nodded smugly, "My daughter understands." ”

"It's good to understand, not arguing, not showing, not revealing and not being cowardly will make you useful for life."

"What the daughter knows, the daughter will firmly remember the teachings of her father."

Her mother asked again, "Are you tempted by Lu Chenyuan?" ”

Lin Chengcheng began to hesitate, she couldn't say clearly, and there was a mist in front of her.

"Good daughter, I can't do it if I don't fight, I don't rob, I don't want to be jealous, people are selfish, but if you can't fight, you must have the ability to protect yourself, otherwise don't try it easily."

"The daughter will not fight, the daughter will do her duty as a housewife."

Mother's words made Lin Tingcheng's mind a lot clearer.

"Well, that's my good daughter."

Mrs. Shangshu touched her woman's face, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a touch.

Lin Shangshu ordered Lin Qingcheng, "You can go back to the house tomorrow, I'm afraid that Lu Chenyuan has bad intentions." ”

"He's not like that, Dad, he's good to me."

When Mrs. Shangshu heard this, she pondered and asked, "What about his concubine?" ”

Lin Tingcheng replied truthfully: "She treats me like a sister." ”

Lin Shangshu stroked his black mustache and said gently: "That's good, Cheng'er, it's useless to talk more, you can experience it yourself." ”

……

The next day, before the morning meal, Lin Chengcheng rushed back home with a long road.

Just when she got off the carriage and greeted a group of young girls who were sent, Lin Qingcheng was a little sad, she hugged the road in her arms and walked from the main gate to the inside, her steps were light, and she looked back from time to time.

The girls are pink and jade, green like stamens waiting to bloom.

They were all dressed plainly and white, with no makeup to the sky, and they were all in order, and they were still holding the life-threatening money in a red wooden tray in their hands.

Lin Chengcheng walked along the road to the main hall, and Lu Chenyuan and Mo Chuqing had already started to have breakfast.

"Madame is back, sit down."

Lu Chenyuan was overjoyed when he saw her coming back, and stood up to help her hug her, so that she could sit down.

She didn't have time to look at the food on the table, but cared about the pile of women at the door, and she asked, "What does the master want to do with them?" ”

At this time, Mo Chuqing's face was a little ugly, and she looked towards Lu Chenyuan.

He said lightly: "Madame, let's choose, you and Qing'er are in charge, I don't worry." ”

"yes, okay."

Lin Qingcheng and Mo Chuqing nodded lightly.

Lu Chenyuan finished breakfast and hugged Lu Man to go out to eat.

"Sister, why do you suddenly want the master to take a concubine?"

Mo Chuqing didn't know the truth, she gently supported the hairpin with her bare hands, and made a cold sound, as if she was opposing this move.

Lin Tingcheng sat on the main seat dignified and calmly, his fingers gently rubbing the corner of the agarwood table, not wanting to pay attention to her.

The items that had already been prepared have been presented to them one by one.

Mo Chuqing didn't know what the concubine system was, she sat on the side and looked at the things covered with red cloth, and she didn't know what was inside.

Lin Tingcheng ordered, "Come on, call them in." ”

After a while, the women were summoned from the main gate into the front yard and stood in turn.

Lin Tingcheng took a quick look and then selected a few handsome women, and then she asked Mo Chuqing, "Does my sister think there are any options?" ”

Mo Chuqing's lips opened lightly, and she smiled, "Listen to my sister." ”

She thought to herself, fortunately, their looks were not as good as herself, otherwise she would have hooked the master's heart, so how would she be on the throne?

Lin Qingcheng lightly opened his lips, "Do you really want to stay in the Lu family as a concubine?" ”

Lin Qingcheng was not for anything else, she wanted to give them a chance.

The women who were chosen began to resist in their hearts, but they could only obey their parents' orders.

They said in unison, "Yes." ”

"Alright then, butler, take them out and through the back door."

After speaking, Lin Qingcheng turned his head to look at Mo Chuqing and said to her, "Sister Qing, let's go to the back door to greet you." ”

Mo Chuqing watched as a few maids followed behind Lin Qingcheng with the things they had just presented.

She said, "Okay, my sister's concubine is here." ”

Then Mo Chuqing stopped the housekeeper and asked, "Butler, wait, what are we going to do here?" Didn't the concubine enter through the side door? ”

When the housekeeper heard this, he stroked his beard and smiled, "Aunt Mo said that she laughed, and the concubine entered the house and walked through the back door." ”

Mo Chuqing saw that she was wrong, she lowered her eyebrows slightly, and asked timidly: "Then my sister is preparing these things?" ”

"Madame welcomes the concubine room according to the concubine system."

After saying that, the butler pointed to them.

Mo Chuqing was puzzled, and then asked: "Then, what is the concubine system?" ”

The housekeeper respectfully explained to her: "This, after they enter the threshold, they have to be beaten by Mrs. first, and they will be pushed to the ground, which is called 'killing prestige', abide by the respect of the master and slave, and ask the concubine to listen to the meaning of Mrs. 's, and then kneel outside the new house for a night, no matter what the master says, he can only let him go back to Mrs.'s room, and the first three days can not let the master spend the night in their room, and then they have to go to Mrs. early in the morning to serve tea to show respect, and must not sneak into the status." ”

After Mo Chuqing heard this, she put her hands on her heart, and her little face turned white.

She wondered: "Do you want to be beaten again?" What miserable they are! ”

The housekeeper nodded, "Yes, the worse the beating, the cleaner the door of our Lu Mansion will be." ”​

Mo Chuqing put her thin fingers under her lips, her expression was slightly shy, she turned her face and asked, "Then why wasn't this the case when I entered the door?" ”

The housekeeper spoke without blushing, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, "Aunt Mo is confused? My aunt entered the house before my wife, so naturally I was exempted from this crime, besides, how can my lord be reluctant, my aunt should not stop me, an old man, I have to lead the group of women into the door. ”​

"Okay."

With that, the butler led the people away.

Mo Chuqing followed with broken steps.

The back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion is the same as the door of ordinary people's homes, without the majesty of the main entrance, which makes people feel indescribably shaded.

A group of people outside the back door were holding vegetable baskets, and they used the stinky eggs and rotten vegetable leaves in the basket to smash the group of women just now, and Lin Qingcheng could hear the noise outside and the screams of those women through the wall.

"Kneel."

"Get in on your knees!"

"Stinky and shameless."

"Shameless, it's really a shame to lose the face of our women......"

"Tell you to seduce men!"

"I'm going to beat you little wife to death, phew!"

The neighbors shouted and cursed, and the women crawled in on their knees outside, unable to resist the actions of the crowd towards them.

Mo Chuqing stood beside Lin Qingcheng, and she watched as women stepped across the threshold of the back door.

The girl who used to be clean and clean has now become a cat and dog with a muddy face and a mixture of rotten eggs.

Lin Chengcheng had already taken out the wooden stick that had been prepared long ago covered with a red cloth, and she held the wooden stick high with both hands and hit those women hard, not letting go of any of them.
