Chapter 522: Gratitude and Reward
"You! I love them too much, and my parents are in charge of marriage matters, how can I let them? ”
Mrs. Xu is a beautiful lady who has read women's training and female commandments, and the three obedience and four virtues have long been ingrained.
She continued: "Besides, our family has no way to repay the great favor of the Hou of Dongping, and it is reasonable to send a daughter into the Hou Gate to serve the Hou Ye, Yan'er and Ru'er should understand the truth of Entu's retribution." ”
Next, Mrs. Xu came to her daughter's room to gossip, deliberately attracting them to talk about the Marquis of Dongping and the "Red Flag Army".
She found that both daughters were grateful to Dongpinghou, and began to change the subject to talk about their father's embarrassment for not being able to repay Dongpinghou, and wanted one of them to be Dongpinghou's concubine.
Who knew that I didn't see the tears in my imagination, I saw that the eyes of the two daughters were flashing, and the two of them didn't even hesitate, and said in unison: "My daughter is willing!" ”
Then the two daughters glanced at each other, and Xu Miaoyan persuaded her sister Xu Miaoru, who was two years younger: "Doesn't my sister know the hardships of being a concubine?" In order not to embarrass my father, and in order to repay her kindness, my sister is willing to serve Dongping Hou, even if she is a maid, she has no regrets.
Seeing that his father has made great contributions with the help of Dongping Hou, he will be promoted in a few days, and he will definitely be able to find a good family for his sister to marry and be a decent wife. ”
Xu Miaoru was only fourteen years old and was spoiled by her parents and sister, she spoke very directly, and when her mother had already made it clear that she wanted one of them to enter the Houmen as a concubine, she didn't care about being shy and said honestly:
"Sister, I volunteered to be a concubine for Dongpinghou, not only was I not wronged in my heart, but I liked it very much, not just to repay the kindness, I saw Dongpinghou that day and I can never forget it, I don't know how many times I dreamed back at midnight and still appeared in my mind.
In the past few days, I have been pestering my sister to go out just so that I can secretly take another look at him. Good sister, don't you want to fight with me, okay? ”
Xu Miaoyan lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Xu Miaoru, bit her lip and said: "My sister is young, don't be impulsive, being a concubine is child's play, let's let my sister go!" My sister is also willing, and there is no grievance at all. ”
Xu Miaoru Bingxue was smart, and immediately understood her sister's intentions, she laughed, and said:
"It turns out that my sister also fell in love with Dongping Hou, has she also heard of 'ruthless may not be a true hero, how can a concubine not be a husband?' Have you ever heard the female soldiers in the battalion sing 'Love is just one word, I only say ...... once'? ”
Xu Miaoyan, who was blushing, suddenly became serious and said, "I'd rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife." My sister is willing to serve Dongpinghou, and she is even more willing to help him do great things and good deeds.
My sister doesn't fight for anything when she enters the Hou Gate, she will be respectful to the wife and the wife of a famous family, and she will get along in harmony with the concubine. I'm afraid that my sister won't be able to handle many relationships with her temperament. ”
Xu Miaoru's eyes widened, she didn't expect that Du Qian's decision to let her sister get the opportunity to marry into the Houmen today was not at all the usual shy appearance.
Mrs. Xu was still sad! The Xu family is also a scholarly family, and the ancestors have produced two scholars, although the husband failed to be selected to elect tribute students to enter the office, because he is quite capable of being promoted from a lower county to a positive seven-grade Pingshun Zhi County, and he is also a scholar doctor who is like a fake.
The daughters of the scholars are all official ladies, and there are very few concubines, what if the daughters hear that their father is the master and let them be concubines and cry and make trouble?
Mrs. Xu really didn't expect that the two daughters who had just fallen in love with Dongping Hou had already fallen in love with Dongping Hou, and they didn't mind being concubines at all.
She opened her mouth and said, "Yan'er, Ru'er, you are still young, how can you understand the heat and coldness of the world?" It's really not a good thing to be a concubine, don't fight, I think ......"
Seeing that their mother was about to make a decision, the two sisters rushed forward and threw themselves into their mother's arms, and said in unison: "Mother, let me go!" ”
Mrs. Xu was amused, and said angrily: "You are in a hurry to get married, and you have no conscience, give both of you to Dongping Hou as concubines!" ”
Xu Miaoru exclaimed: "Mother, you are too wise, why not send a pair anyway?" ”
Xu Miaoyan thought for a while and smiled: "My sister is right, we sisters will have a care after entering the Hou Gate together, anyway, if it weren't for Dongping Hou to come to help, we should both have broken off on our own, our lives are actually given by Dongping Hou, and the rest of our lives will be handed over to him." ”
"Huh?" Mrs. Xu was stunned, looked left and right, then understood, and sighed: "Sure enough, the female is not staying, staying here and leaving for revenge!" The ancients did not deceive me! ”
She couldn't make a choice, so she had to come to her husband with a heart full of loss.
Xu Mingyang, who had been worried about the two stubborn daughters who would rather die than obey, listened to his wife wipe her tears and told her about confessing to her two beloved daughters.
The wife also sighed that the world was declining, and her daughter actually said, "I'd rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife." Bastard words.
Xu Mingyang laughed after listening to his wife's chatter and laughed: "This is my pair of good daughters, Dongping Marquis is a unanimously recognized hero of our dynasty, even the old lady Qin Liangyu is willing to marry her niece as a flat wife, it can be seen that her daughter has vision!" ”
"Master, are you really going to give the two sisters to the Marquis of Dongping?"
"I can't bear it, so be it! That day, Dongpinghou joked with me and asked me to invite him to drink, and tomorrow I will personally invite him to the house for a banquet, so that Dongpinghou can see Yan'er and Ru'er, and then I will knock on the side and ask, see who he has fallen into? ”
"This may not work, what if Dongpinghou doesn't look down on any of them, or if both of them do?"
"Aren't you raising the bar? Our two daughters are like flowers and jade, and people love them, will people look down on them? The Marquis of Dongping has only one concubine in such a high position, so it can be seen that he is not a person who does not refuse to come, he is embarrassed to leave our two concubines at once? ”
"The old man is still thoughtful, the concubine listens to you in everything, Zhang Luo will arrange a dinner tomorrow, and the concubine will personally cook a few dishes."
The "Red Flag Army" is preparing to start tomorrow morning, and Huang Han plans to meet with Xu Zhixian to talk about business if he doesn't come.
This time, Xu Mingyang didn't die at the hands of the rogue and got a great merit, and he couldn't even be promoted to the third level, and the next time he saw him, he should be an official above the level of Zhizhou, maybe he would deal with it.
Huang Han hadn't left yet, Xu Zhixian took the initiative to visit, chatted a few words to get straight to the point, and invited Dongping Hou to the county inner courtyard for a banquet in the evening, and the two of them drank and talked happily.
After Xu Mingyang left, Huang Han woke up, and said secretly: This magistrate is stingy enough, but he only invited himself, knowing that Qin Yanyi is his beloved wife, he didn't open his mouth to invite, which is really unreasonable.
