Chapter 510: A Family
"Really? I see that Yun Niang clearly knows her husband. ”
There was a bit of resentment between Qingchen's words.
Yang Congyi was helpless, thought about it carefully, and then had to say: "I don't know if I know it, speaking of which, I did see her once, it was three years ago, I went to Nanjianzhou Prefecture for the first time, and I was discussing business with Lord Meng at that time, his daughter suddenly appeared in the living room, Lord Meng was angry, and the two argued, and I naturally didn't like to continue to sit on the side as an outsider, so I left under the pretext of leaving and haven't seen me since." To be honest, I didn't even see her face clearly before, and I said a word, how could I know her? Don't think about it. ”
Qingchen's face softened slightly, but she was still not at ease: "I don't see it, Yun Niang doesn't look at you right." ”
Yang Congyi said with a smile: "The lady is too careful, if I had known her for a long time, why didn't even Master Meng know that he was in Putian?" ”
Qingchen thinks it makes sense to think about it, if her husband and Yun Niang had known each other for a long time, or if they had anything to do with it, they wouldn't have been in contact for a few years.
But then she thought of another woman who had something to do with her husband, who had met in a hurry many years ago, and now she didn't know her news, and she had never heard her husband mention her, so I don't know if they were still in touch.
As soon as she thought of this, Qingchen secretly made up her mind that it was really impossible to delay her husband and take a concubine, and she should make a decision quickly, otherwise she would have a long night and many dreams, and the terrible things that her sisters told her would really appear.
"Husband, since there are no major and urgent matters in the Yamen recently, let's take care of the family affairs."
Qingchen looked at her husband's gaze and suddenly became serious, this is something she didn't want to do, but she had to do.
"What's the housework?"
Yang Congyi rarely saw Qingchen with such an expression, and knew that it should not be a good thing, so he was suddenly a little surprised in his heart. He basically doesn't care about family affairs, could it be that something big has happened in the family recently?
Hearing his husband's question, seeing his concerned expression, Qingchen suddenly hesitated again.
Between saying and not saying, he struggled again, and had a short but fierce confrontation deep inside.
After a while, I heard her say with some trembling: "Husband, you can take a concubine." ”
"What? Conquest? ”
Yang Congyi exclaimed in surprise, and stood up involuntarily, he had never thought about taking a concubine, there was one in the family every day that was enough for him, and his body was very weak, and he had to have another one, do you want to go to the government?
Qingchen was unmoved, and only listened to her answer: "I have been married to my husband for so many years, and I have not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter to my husband. I can't give birth, I can't let my husband have no queen, I can't let this family have no queen. I've already picked out my husband, and I don't worry about outsiders coming to her home. Lian'er has been with me since six years ago, and now that she is older, her heart has changed, she is very well-behaved, and I am very relieved to accept her as a concubine. I have prepared everything that should be prepared, and I have wanted to tell you for a long time, but I have always been unwilling and want to leave a queen for the Yang family, but now I have also seen it, and some things really depend on heaven and fate. I have also chosen the day, today and tomorrow are good days, husband, which day do you think is appropriate? ”
Yang Congyi was speechless and speechless for a long time. She's already arranged, what else can she say?
"Lady, I told you a long time ago, it doesn't matter to me whether I have children or not, we just have to live our lives, what kind of concubine?"
"No, it's very important whether you have children or not, the husband can go out and see, which family has no children, from the official eunuchs, down to the ordinary people, and even the poor who can't eat enough, who doesn't want to have children, who doesn't want to stay. Without children, why do we live and for whom? My husband sees that I am very happy every day and live a good life, do you know how scared I am because the Yang family has no queen? They ridiculed and ridiculed me openly and secretly, and I could bear it, but they said that I didn't have children because of my husband, I couldn't bear it, and the Yang family wanted to stay behind, and I had to fight for this tone. The husband said that I am in charge of family affairs, and taking a concubine for my husband is a family matter, I just want to ask, can I be the master? ”
Qingchen said and spoke, tears fell from his voice, and his stomach was full of grievances, pouring out.
With such a lady, what else can Yang Congyi say?
He took a few steps forward, stretched out his hands and held Qingchen tightly in his arms, allowing her to pour out her grievances in his arms.
"The family affairs are in charge of the mother, and I listen to the lady's arrangement."
Qingchen cried in her husband's arms for a while, and the grievances were gone, and the tears stopped.
"So let's do it today, we don't have parents or elders, and I don't want to entertain guests."
"Okay, it's up to the lady's arrangement."
Yang Congyi doesn't want to take a concubine, the more people in the family, the more troubles, and what he is most afraid of is the trouble at home, the so-called clean officials are difficult to judge family affairs, and he has no confidence in handling family affairs, what he can do is to try not to interfere.
"Lian'er, come in."
Qingchen wiped the tears from his face, turned to sit down in a chair, and then shouted outside the living room.
Lian'er didn't respond, lowered her head, blushed, and walked to Madame step by step.
"Lian'er, you also heard it, I have already decided with my master about you, and the date is set for today, you go and prepare, and I will help you freshen up in a while."
"Yes, thank you, sir, thank you, madam!"
Lian'er bowed her head and replied, then knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Yang Congyi and Qingchen respectively, after tonight, she will be the real Yang family, and she will have real support for the rest of her life.
Qingchen got up and helped her up, and by the way, he raised his hand to wipe the tears that flowed down her face.
"That's a good thing, don't make your eyes swollen from crying. Go ahead and get ready. ”
"Thank you, sir, ma'am."
After Lian'er thanked her again, she left quickly, and from her leaping steps, she knew the panic and joy in her heart at this time.
"Husband, you are also ready to prepare, I'll go see Lian'er first."
Qingchen then left, leaving Yang Congyi alone in the living room.
What can he prepare? Now that it's all arranged, what else do you need to prepare?
The sun set, and a sumptuous banquet was placed in the inner courtyard of the back house of the Tongju Mansion, and there were only three people at the banquet.
Lian'er, who was originally average, is now dressed in a red wedding dress, combed a new hairstyle, and painted her cheeks and eyebrows, she looks like a different person, and she looks extremely beautiful.
She sat quietly beside the master, bowed her head slightly, looked at the wine glass in front of her, her face was full of shame, she didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at the master, and she didn't dare to look at the lady sitting opposite.
"Lian'er, today is your big day, you drink a glass of light wine with your husband first."
"Yes, ma'am."
Listening to Madame's words, Lian'er responded, and then picked up the wine glass with slightly trembling hands, turned to face the old man and stood up, but her eyes never dared to rise, her eyes only stayed on the old man's chest, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at the old man's face.
Yang Congyi also picked up the wine glass with both hands, turned around and touched Lian'er's wine glass lightly, didn't say anything, and drank it all up.
After the old man drank the wine, Lian'er then picked up the wine glass with both hands, raised her head and poured a glass of light wine into Houzhong.
At the moment when she raised her head and lowered her head, she briefly glanced at the old man, she saw the faint smile on the old man's face, and her heart suddenly warmed, and the blush on her face suddenly spread all over her neck.
"The husband drank wine with Lian'er, and Lian'er is the Yang family from today on. Come, the three of us drank this glass of wine, and from then on the three of us depended on each other. ”
After Qingchen personally filled the wine glass in front of her husband and Lian'er, she also picked up a glass of light wine in front of her with both hands.
Yang Congyi and Lian'er raised their glasses together, and the three of them raised their heads almost at the same time and drank them all.
After drinking all the wine, Lian'er suddenly said to her wife: "Thanks to Mrs. Lady's favor, Lian'er has today, Lian'er will take good care of the lord and Mrs. in the future, and repay the lord and Mrs. for their kindness to Lian'er." Madam, Lian'er would like to toast you with a glass of wine. ”
After speaking, he picked up the flask and filled a glass of light wine for his wife, and then poured it for himself.
"It's all a family, don't mention it in the future, let's take a good look at this family, take care of this family."
"Yes, ma'am, Lian'er understands."
The two of them raised their glasses together and drank the light wine in the glass.
"Okay, let's sit down and eat, a big table of dishes, don't waste it."
After drinking, Qingchen picked up the chopsticks and motioned to her husband to move the chopsticks and start his head.
There are too many rules, for many years, Yang Congyi is still a little unaccustomed to it, he picked up chopsticks and picked up the vegetables at will.
Seeing that he was moving his chopsticks, Qingchen and Lian'er then moved their chopsticks.
The table was full of food, and after eating for a while, the three of them put down their chopsticks one after another.
After waiting for Shukou, Qingchen personally handed Lian'er's hand to her husband, and said softly: "There are some things that Lian'er doesn't understand, husband, don't be bitter about her." ”
Seeing her husband take Lian'er's hand and walk into the inner room, Qingchen reluctantly left.
She wanted to follow up, but in the end she held back, today is a good day for everyone, let's let Lian'er come by herself, who hasn't experienced it for the first time?
Two red candles that had already been lit illuminated the new house, and in the candlelight, new bedding, new curtains, a couple of newlyweds walked hand in hand and walked straight to the bed.
The two sat in front of the bed for a while, Lian'er didn't dare to look up, and Yang Congyi was speechless.
After a while, Yang Congyi raised his hand to remove the hairpin on Lian'er's head, and took off her big red shirt, revealing a red belly pocket embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks inside.
Lian'er is not too old, but her body has developed very well, and the two grains on her chest are slightly raised, at this time she is already ashamed and overwhelmed, and the violent heartbeat makes a pair of white rabbits hidden under her belly pocket rise and fall.
Yang Congyi took his eyes off her chest, leaned over and took off her shoes, and then picked her up and put her in the bed.
Lian'er lay on the bed with her eyes closed, her hands unconsciously placed on her chest, flustered, and almost fainted.
The candle went out, and Yang Congyi bullied himself.
is already his own person, he has to take care of it, not only to complete the task, but also not to let Lian'er, who experienced personnel for the first time, suffer too much, so he has made a lot of preparations for this.
However, no matter how long he had been preparing, at the moment when the body was broken, the delicate Lian'er still couldn't suppress her painful cry.
