Chapter 663: The Sixth Concubine
After the matchmaker Xue Sister-in-law left the Lu Mansion, Lu Sisi immediately walked out of the back hall, facing the Lu family's parents with a look of happiness on their faces, the unhappy Xingshi asked: "What does Daddy mean by this?" Why had I never heard of getting married in three days? Besides, the other party is still a man with a group of wives and concubines? ”
Even if Lu Sisi has not seen each other yet, she knows how many concubines there are in his house, the so-called three women in one play, if she really marries in the past, she still doesn't know what kind of difficult life she will have in the future? Didn't these Lu family parents never think about it?
"It has always been the order of the parents for a woman to marry, the words of the matchmaker, besides, you are getting older and older, but your vision is still high, if this goes on like this, won't the reputation of my Lu family be ruined by you?" The old man of the Lu family shook his sleeves angrily.
In fact, in the past, I wanted to say goodbye to Lu Sisi, and there were not a few men who climbed to the Lu family, but every time the matchmaker came to say goodbye, Lu Sisi would pick her nose and eyes, either disgusted that the other party's family background was not good enough, or she picked on her appearance and said that her appearance was not handsome and chic.
But seeing that Lu Sisi is getting older and older, but the family affairs have never been settled, for fear that the Lu family's parents will continue to be embarrassed, so they have to find Sister-in-law Xue with a cheeky face and ask her to help Lu Sisi say a family matter, which is what happened today.
However, before Sister-in-law Xue left, Lu Sisi lost her temper with her regardless of etiquette, which made the old man of the Lu family very unhappy, and kept scolding her for not knowing the rules, if even Sister-in-law Xue didn't want to say goodbye to her, then I'm afraid it would be really difficult for Lu Sisi to marry in this life, right?
Lu Sisi ignored the good intentions of the Lu family's grandfather, and still said willfully: "Fame! Fame! Daddy, is the reputation of the Lu family much more important to you than your daughter's lifelong happiness? And the current Lu family is not as beautiful as before, so why do you use your family reputation to pressure me to marry? ”
"You, how dare you say such a rebellious thing? All right! My Lu family really raised a good daughter who is filial and sensible! The old man of the Lu family was almost relapsed by Lu Sisi's words, and even began to have difficulty breathing, but fortunately, the wife of the Lu family served him and drank a cup of hot tea, which relieved his mood a little.
Then Mrs. Lu first comforted the old man of the Lu family for a few words, and then walked towards Lu Sisi, frowned, and was faintly dissatisfied in her cowardly tone, saying:
"Sisi, how can you talk to your father in such a tone? Regardless of whether the Lu family is beautiful now? Our husband and wife have raised you to adulthood, and have never been willing to let you suffer a little, and what your father said is not wrong, you are not young, and getting married should have been on the agenda a long time ago, before you had a high vision, I and your father always thought that you could find a fast son-in-law with the ability, but how did you expect that Yu Panxi's second child came to the world, and you are still married, alas, how do you want us to say you? ”
Yu Panxi again?
Originally, Lu Sisi was very taboo to have someone mention this name in front of her, but recently, she heard the people around her intentionally mention it one after another, as if she wanted to compare the two with each other like she did when she was a child, she clenched her fists and vented angrily to the Lu family's parents:
"Yu Panxi! Yu Panxi! What is that Yu Panxi better than me? was lucky enough to marry Xiao Chumo and become the princess, the biological mother of the current emperor? Hehe, I, Lu Sisi, have been compared with her by others for more than 20 years, and now I casually find a group of wives and concubines to marry, even if I marry in the past, I will be the main mother, and it is impossible to compare with her in terms of identity, have you considered my feelings? ”
"Mistress?" The parents of the Lu family glanced at each other, and their faces couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, and then the old man of the Lu family explained:
"I'm afraid that you have misunderstood, and the county magistrate who wants you to marry the county magistrate Qipin, not to be the housewife, but to be his sixth concubine, but you can rest assured, the county magistrate learned of your relationship with Yu Panxi's cousin, and promised Sister-in-law Xue that he would definitely not treat you badly in the future, so you will still marry obediently after three days!"
Concubine? Lu Sisi was completely stunned, it turned out that the person she was going to marry turned out to be the county magistrate who was nearly sixty years old in the county government? I have long heard that there are many wives and concubines in his mansion, and some of them were even brought out by him directly from the Qinglou, but I can imagine the chaos in the private life of this county commander, she is afraid that she would never dream that one day she would have a relationship with such a person?
Lu Sisi, who was already resolutely opposed to this marriage, refused to agree to anything after learning about it, she sat on the chair in the lobby and began to cry with a handful of snot and tears, saying:
"Daddy, are you confused? No matter how old I am, that prefectural order is more than a dozen years older than the two of you! How can you bear to put your daughter in the mouth of a tiger? also kept saying that it was for the sake of that Yu Panxi's face that he negotiated this marriage for me, in my opinion, that sister-in-law Xue was deliberately disgusting our Lu Mansion, father, you must not agree to this marriage! ”
Lu Sisi couldn't imagine how dark her life would be if she was really forced to marry that old man? I wanted to get married, at least the husband I found couldn't be much worse than Xiao Chumo, but in the end, I found someone who didn't even deserve to carry Xiao Chumo's shoes?
Looking at Lu Sisi, who was constantly crying, the Lu family's parents were like knives, if it were normal, they would definitely agree to Lu Sisi's request, just begging her not to continue to mess around, but now is different from the past, in the face of her crying, the old man of the Lu family scolded sharply:
"The dignified lady has no rules at all, Sister-in-law Xue is right, before you officially get married, it seems that you should indeed learn the rules well! This family affair is already a sure thing, even if you cry again, it won't help, we have signed the marriage book for you, with the marriage contract, you will be the sixth concubine of the county order sooner or later, obediently waiting for the sedan chair! ”
After speaking, the old man of the Lu family no longer wanted to be in this kind of piercing cry, and got up and left the hall.
And Mrs. Lu also had to follow, but before leaving, she couldn't help but sigh and comfort Lu Sisi, saying: "This is the fate of our women, and it is indeed a little wrong to let you be a concubine, but you have to learn to accept your fate, and you can no longer be as pampered and willful as before, listen to your mother's words, your mother will never harm you." ”
When the Lu family's parents left, Lu Sisi was completely desperate in the hall alone, seeing that it was getting late, and the sky was gradually darkening, which means that after two more nights like this, she will be forced to lie on a strange cold bed, ruined by a bad old man? At the thought of this, tears could not help but spread from her eyes.
