Chapter Ninety-Three: Concubinage
After the two talked, Pei Yuan was about to send Shen Jiahe back, he wanted to keep her here, and he thought that it would be inappropriate to send someone back tomorrow morning if he accidentally met someone, but in the end, he thought about it.
Both of them had already walked to the door, Shen Jiahe looked at his somewhat blue and black eyes, and was still reluctant to trouble him: "You go back, if you don't worry, send two guards to follow me." β
Pei Yuan shook his head, and stretched out his hand to tighten the cloak for her: "I don't feel at ease if anyone sends me, the two families are not far away, it's okay." β
Sending people outside her own courtyard, Pei Yuan stood and didn't go in for fear of waking up the next person, and saw that Shen Jiahe was reluctant to go in, so his heart softened: "The weather is getting colder and colder, you don't have to run to the Xianwang Mansion in the future, it's night, it's not good to be windy, I have to come to see you when I'm free, and the things in the court are about to be busy." β
Shen Jiahe nodded in response, he had to wait for Pei Yuan to leave before he was willing to enter the courtyard, Pei Yuan was afraid that she would suffer from the wind, so he no longer insisted on turning around and leaving, Shen Jiahe didn't fall asleep for a long time after going back to lie down, only smirked at the cloak that was folded aside.
And Shi Xiangyuan of the Shi family was not so happy, her brother Shi Xiangjie was standing in the outer hall of her room with a straight face and lecturing her.
During the day, he didn't say much about the face of the Shen brothers and sisters, and later went home to eat with his family, and he didn't want his parents to worry too much or be too strict with his sister, so he never spoke.
This will finally wait until there is no one, and then call her out to make rules: "Do you go shopping with Miss Shen today or are you unhappy, you know in your heart, how can a girl's family not use their brains before doing things, if you meet a ruthless character today, you think you can still get out safely." β
Shi Xiangyuan secretly stuck out her tongue disapprovingly, obviously disagreeing with her brother's words, but she didn't dare to talk back, and wanted this preaching to end quickly, so she drooped her head and made a very teachable appearance.
Shi Xiangjie looked at her like this, and there was something he didn't understand in his heart, but there were some things to say to her: "You are not young, your mother is showing you the right person during this time, if you have always been such a detached personality and a well-educated family, how can there be a housewife who is willing to ask for a daughter-in-law like you." β
Shi Xiangyuan was stunned, she also knew that when she was old, this matter would inevitably be mentioned, but she never expected it to be so soon, she was a little stunned for a while, Shi Xiangjie saw that it was not good to say too much, so she could only comfort: "The two girls of the Shen family are good, and one of them is your future sister-in-law, I am very relieved that you will have dealings with them, but you can't do anything like today." β
Although Shen Jiajue is Shen Jiahui's younger brother, he is a little lower than him in terms of identity, but after all, he is an official, and he is afraid that he will not be able to save face by letting a little girl fight like this.
Shi Xiangyuan remembered the man who made fun of him, and immediately pursed his mouth: "Then if I see him next time, I'll walk around." β
Shi Xiangjie couldn't cry or laugh for a while: "It's not necessary to do this, but pay attention to it, in the future, our two families will be in-laws, and we will always have some contacts." β
After breakfast the next morning, Shen Jiahe first wrote a letter to Bai Wei to say hello, and after putting down the pen, he saw that the sky was good, so he thought about going to Shen Jiahui to come out to bask in the sun and move his muscles.
But before she walked out of the yard, she saw Xiao Qi leading Chunhe in a hurry, and hurriedly asked, "Come over early in the morning, but your wife has something to look for me?" β
Chunhe thought of the bad things that happened in the house, and his face was not very good-looking, this matter should not have come to Shen Jiahe, but Mrs. was worried that this matter would be angry with Yao's mother at home, so she pressed her subordinates not to go to Yao's house to spread the word.
But his wife was really exhausted from dealing with those two people, and after thinking for a long time, she ordered Chunhe to come to Shen Jiahe for a trip.
Shen Jiahe directly took Bai Ying to follow Chunhe to Cheng Yiming's house in the carriage of the Cheng family, but he was very worried all the way.
This matter of Cheng Yiming's aunt bringing her daughter to have a relationship with him is Cheng Yiming's family matter, no matter how good her relationship with Yao Xinrou is, it belongs to outsiders, and some things are unspeakable.
After a few people arrived at the mansion hall, Shen Jiahe saw a girl kneeling on the ground, her appearance was good, but she looked a lot more tacky when she was wearable, and she thought that this was Cheng Yiming's uncle and cousin Xiaoxia that Chunhe said.
She cried so much, tears fell down like beads with broken threads, but it didn't affect the clarity of her speech at all: "I had a marriage contract with Cousin Yiming early on, if you drive me away, a girl like me who has been married to someone else can't get married, you are forcing me to die!" β
A woman who was a little older on the side thought that it was Cheng Yiming's aunt, and at this time she immediately answered: "Xiaoxia is Yiming's cousin, you always have to give her a way to live, we don't ask for much, and we won't compete with you for the position of the wife, but we want to stay by Yiming's side and be a concubine, and I will never threaten your position as the housewife." β
Shen Jiahe looked at the sky speechlessly, her cousin and cousin belonged to close relatives and marriages, the feudal era was really deadly, she originally felt that Xiaoxia, who had been married to her cousin since she was a child, was a little pitiful, but after listening to the words of this aunt, she was only disgusted.
How powerful do you have to think about letting your daughter be a concubine for someone else's family, and looking at this Xiaoxia's appearance, I am afraid that she also wants this identity very much.
Shen Jiahe looked at the two of them coldly, and opened his mouth faintly: "Since it is said that they have been married since childhood, is there a marriage certificate?" β
The aunt chuckled in her heart, glanced back at Shen Jiahe, and wanted to ask what kind of thing you are and dare to come here to interject, but it can be seen that her eyes are sharp, her temperament is not angry and self-assured, and she is well dressed, so she doesn't dare to offend at will, so she can only say: "Our two families are relatives, so naturally we don't write any marriage letters so seriously." β
Shen Jiahe thought about it and felt that it was wrong, and continued to ask: "If there is no marriage certificate, there should be a certificate, the two families have decided on the family affairs, and they always have to exchange each other's tokens, is it possible that my aunt doesn't even have this." β
The aunt's face turned pale for a while, she originally thought that this Mrs. Cheng was easy to handle, and now that she is pregnant, she will naturally find some beautiful concubines for her husband, so she thought about taking a trip by virtue of her relatives and sending Xiaoxia to Cheng Yiming's room, but she didn't expect that this Mrs. Cheng would not let go, she was really jealous, and she couldn't even tolerate a concubine.
And seeing that he couldn't deal with himself, he actually scolded the maid to find a helper to come over, thinking of this aunt and mother, she also got angry, and directly began to play tricks: "What tokens, what marriage letters, we don't have them, but the relationship between these two children is ironclad, it was set by me and her mother back then, I said that there is, it is difficult to be fake." β
Shen Jiahe shook his head and chuckled: "Maybe what you said is true, but how can you take a casual joke seriously?" β
"What do you mean, what are we talking about is a joke, you just don't want my daughter to enter the door, so you are here to talk about these things." The aunt simply stood up and shouted at Shen Jiahe with her feet.
Shen Jiahe became more and more calm, and even took a cup of tea and drank two sips before replying to her: "Even if what you say is not a joke, who can prove it for you?" If you don't have a certificate, don't say that we don't recognize it, it's useless for you to sue the government, in short, if you want to achieve your goal, you still want to get a marriage certificate out and talk about it. β
Xiaoxia suddenly cried when she heard this, their family didn't think much of Cheng Yiming before, his family was so poor, how could he live a good life if he married him, but such a poor boy would be admitted to the top one day, and now he has a big official to do, if she can marry in, then she will be Mrs. Guan.
But no one expected him to marry so quickly, they just learned the news of his champion, and before they could arrange everything, they heard the news of his marriage again, Xiaoxia was already dead when she came here, but her mother said that she would rather be a rich concubine than a poor wife, even if she couldn't be the mother of the Cheng family, it was good to be a concubine, so she and her mother rushed here.
didn't expect her mother to be speechless by a girl who was similar to her, and when she heard Shen Jiahe say that the government would not help them, she felt even more devastated, and could only cry and lament that her fate was not good.
Yao Xinrou watched the two of them crying and making trouble here like singing, and she only felt a headache, but she still had to scold them forcibly: "I didn't attack you because you are Yiming's relatives, but I tell you, my mother's family is Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and Yiming is my father's protΓ©gΓ©, I married the Cheng family, but I am married, if you want to be a concubine, you have to ask him first if Cheng Yiming dares to give me this anger!" β
After she said a few words, she felt that all her internal organs were smoking, but the woman kneeling on the ground was still crying and didn't know how to restrain herself, so she could only continue: "If you want to find trouble, it's best to weigh your identity in advance, if you keep messing around like this, don't blame me for being ruthless." β
Yao Xinrou just wanted to send people out quickly, but she didn't want her aunt to hear this, but she immediately shouted: "What's the matter, you are threatening our mother, is it difficult for you to kill our mother, this capital is also at the foot of the Son of Heaven, if you really dare to kill people, your father is useless even if he is a relative of the emperor." β
Shen Jiahe saw that Yao Xinrou's face was really ugly, so she hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and was about to open her mouth to refute the aunt, but when she looked up, she saw Cheng Yiming coming back.
Cheng Yiming heard about this from the little guy on the way back from the next dynasty, and he was also the first two big at the moment, he naturally knew his uncle's abrasive kung fu, and he was also worried about whether his wife would be angry.
Seeing Cheng Yiming coming back, the hall was quiet for a while, Cheng Yiming saw Xiaoxia who was kneeling on the ground and still wiping her tears, and couldn't help but cry out in her heart, and after seeing her aunt's face, she felt that this matter was even more difficult to handle.
Seeing Cheng Yiming coming back, Shen Jiahe whispered to comfort Yao Xinrou and planned to leave, but as soon as the head of the family returned, she became even more embarrassed here.
Cheng Yiming knew that Shen Jiahe was friendly with his wife, so he sent someone out under the pretext of following him, in fact, because he hadn't figured out how to deal with the things in the house, so he could hide for a while when he came out.
Shen Jiahe wanted to speak several times, seeing that the door was already close in front of him, he sighed and stopped: "Master Cheng, Xinrou is a blessing that you have cultivated if she can marry you, and I hope you can cherish the blessing and don't let her down." β
As a friend, that's all I can say, if she is Xinrou's sister, I'm afraid she can slap it over.
If it is placed in modern times, she can kick people out of the air as a best friend, but in this era, they are all like this, and there is really not much they can do.
After Shen Jiahe left, Cheng Yiming returned to the house with a depressed face, and his aunt was angry when she saw him like this, but Cheng Yiming is now an official after all, and she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so she could only use this yin and yang weird tone to talk to him: "Your family is in difficulty, if it wasn't for your uncle helping your family from time to time, do you think you can still be Jing Zhaoyin's protΓ©gΓ©?" Speaking of which, if you can meet the girl of the Yao family, it is also thanks to your uncle's family. β
Yao Xinrou was already depressed when she heard this, and her aunt meant that even she had to thank them for her family before she could marry Cheng Yiming.
She snorted coldly, she didn't want to pay attention to these anymore, and directly took Chunhe without looking at these people, and left the hall and went back to the inner room.
Seeing his wife flick his sleeves and leave, Cheng Yiming pinched his eyebrows, and finally a layer of frost finally appeared on his face: "I still have to discuss this matter with my wife, I will settle you and live first." β
