Chapter 996: Enter the Door!
~~~~~~
Night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
An inconspicuous small sedan chair drove out of the courtyard of the No. 3 warehouse, entered the small alley on the side, and slowly circled to the back door of the official hall.
In Daming, although the ceremony of marrying a concubine is not as grand as marrying a wife, the key is to look at the woman's family and foundation.
If it is a woman with good family conditions and a deep foundation, with more dowries, more servants, and more fields, even if it is a concubine, the position is not much lower than that of the main room.
And vice versa.
It's just that the concubine room is a concubine room after all, and the rules of etiquette for thousands of years are placed here.
You are not allowed to go through the main entrance, but you can only enter the house at night.
The small sedan chair was carried by four sedan chair drivers, with more than a dozen servants in front and behind, and five or six maids, who were a little hurried.
When I arrived at the back door, there were already people waiting here, and I was busy and quickly let them go, so that the small sedan chair quickly entered the house.
After a while, after a few twists and turns, the corridor swirled, and the small sedan chair stopped temporarily outside a delicate courtyard.
Liu Chunhua, who had been waiting here, hurried over.
"The Butler."
"The Archsteward ......"
The surrounding servants were busy saluting Liu Chunhua respectfully.
In the small sedan chair, the two personal maids who had just been transferred from the Fog and Rain Pavilion to Qi Xiaorong's side today also heard the movement outside, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Girl, the chief steward is here." ”
Qi Xiaorong, who was dressed in a bright red bridal dress and covered her back hijab, nodded obediently, indicating that she understood.
After a while, Liu Chunhua came to the small sedan chair and whispered: "Girl, the rules, the second lady and the third lady have already explained to you." But what else don't you understand? I'll explain it to you now. But we'll have to hurry, it's almost auspicious. ”
Liu Chunhua's tone was very soft, and Qi Xiaorong's heart, which had been hanging, was also a little calmer, and she hurriedly whispered respectfully: "The chief steward, the rules and slaves have all been kept in mind." ”
Liu Chunhua smiled: "That's good." Then let's go into the courtyard. The eldest lady, the second lady, and the third lady have been waiting for a long time. ”
"Yes......"
Qi Xiaorong under the red hijab was busy respectfully and said yes.
Liu Chunhua nodded and smiled: "Girl, then let's go into the courtyard." ”
As she spoke, she waved her hand, "Follow the rules!" ”
"Yes!"
The musicians who had been prepared around them played cheerful but quiet music, and the small sedan chair slowly entered the courtyard.
In the small sedan chair, Qi Xiaorong's two little hands couldn't help but be tightly entangled together, and Fang Xin even mentioned it in her throat.
She knew that the most crucial moment that would determine the fate of her life was coming......
In the courtyard, in the spacious and comfortable inner hall, Zhang Yunniang, Qu Minqiu, Yang Jiao~Niang, Zhang Baozhu, Lotus Root, Caizi, Ren Yinger, Wan'er and more than a dozen of Li Yuanqing's wives and concubines were surrounding the warm stove, whispering and laughing.
At this time, hearing the shout of 'newcomer arrives' outside, Zhang Yunniang's pretty face couldn't help but change slightly.
Qu Minqiu smiled: "Yun Niang, what? Still can't put it down? ”
Zhang Yunniang shook her head with a smile, "Minqiu, it's not that you can't let it go." It's just that this time, my brother, things are really ...... Some of them are too anxious. ”
Qu Minqiu said with a smile: "Yun Niang, Yuanqing is like this, maybe he also has his troubles." I believe that Yuan Qing will explain to you personally soon. ”
Zhang Yunniang nodded and slowly exhaled a long breath.
She knew that it was not easy for her brother Yuanqing, and marrying a concubine was not a matter at all, but ~, if it was someone from the Fog and Rain Pavilion or an innocent person, she would let it in.
The key is that at this time, this Qi Xiaorong's identity ......
I was thinking crankily in my mind, and at this time, the newlyweds had already come to the room accompanied by two personal maids.
As soon as she entered the door, Qi Xiaorong was busy kneeling on the ground obediently, "Slave maid...... The slave has seen the eldest lady, and has seen all the ladies. ”
Qu Minqiu glanced at Zhang Yunniang, Zhang Yunniang was still a little flustered, and said with a smile: "You two, take off the newcomer's hijab first." ”
"Yes."
The two personal maids hurriedly took off Qi Xiaorong's red hijab, and when they landed, they revealed Qi Xiaorong's delicately dressed and fairy-like face.
All the women in the field were stunned.
For a moment, there was a whispered discussion.
No wonder Li Yuanqing had to include Qi Xiaorong in the room...... This Qi Xiaorong's posture is really ...... It's these women who are jealous when they see it.
Zhang Yunniang was also a little stunned for a while, biting her red lips tightly, but she didn't make any immediate moves.
Qi Xiaorong was kneeling on the ground at this time, not daring to look at anything else, but she clearly felt that the whole atmosphere seemed to be much more solemn than she imagined.
Her two small hands on the ground clutched the delicate cashmere carpet tightly, and her heart was already in her throat.
Although Li Yuanqing has nodded and let her enter the door, ~, if the eldest lady Zhang Yunniang is unwilling, then ~, she can only be a foreign house, even if she gives birth to a child for Li Yuanqing, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a chance to enter the mansion again.
Yang Jiao~ Mother was about to be cold when she saw it, so she hurriedly whispered a few words to Zhang Yunniang.
Zhang Yunniang came back to her senses and nodded slowly.
Qu Minqiu hurriedly smiled: "Newcomers, get up." ”
As she spoke, she picked up the teapot that had been prepared on the side, poured a cup of tea into the teacup next to her, and said with a smile: "The newcomer came to pick up the tea." ”
Qi Xiaorong came back to her senses at this time, hurriedly got up carefully, saluted Qu Minqiu respectfully, carefully picked up the teacup, and walked to Zhang Yunniang, who was looking at her quietly in the middle of the room: "Big lady, you, you drink tea......"
As she spoke, she raised the teacup high in front of Zhang Yunniang, and she didn't dare to breathe.
Zhang Yunniang hesitated for a long time, then slowly took the teacup, took a small sip symbolically, handed it to Xiaolian on the side, looked at Qi Xiaorong quietly and said, "Sister Rong'er." Today's matter, originally, the concubine body will not agree to it no matter what. But the concubine also knows that your background is different from others. The concubine also came from a hard life. I deeply understand what life without reliance is like. In the past, the concubine did not pursue it, and she would not care about it anymore. But in the future, Sister Rong'er, do you know what to do? ”
Qi Xiaorong's tears had already welled up at this time, and she was busy kowtowing to Zhang Yunniang, "Big lady, the slave understands." The slave and maid will definitely serve the lord well, serve the eldest lady well, and serve the ladies. It will never cause trouble to the lord and the lady. ”
Zhang Yunniang looked at Qi Xiaorong's pear blossom with rain for a while, and then nodded slowly, "Okay." The auspicious time has arrived. Go ahead. ”
"Mrs. Xie......"
Seeing Qi Xiaorong being taken away, Zhang Yunniang's big eyes were a little dazed for a while, and she couldn't help but let out a long breath.
She suddenly remembered a song that Li Yuanqing had taught her to sing before, 'Only the newcomer laughs, and who remembers the old man crying?' ’
This time, Brother Yuanqing really gave her a big problem......
…………
The sedan chair turned around a few more times and came to a delicate small courtyard by a small river in the courtyard, at this time, Li Yuanqing had already been waiting here for a long time!
As soon as the sedan chair entered the door, Mrs. Cao, who was on duty, already had an order, and everything was simple.
Soon, the process was completed here, and the newcomer was taken to the hot kang, and a maid respectfully handed over the gift list to Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing opened it, glanced at it, and suddenly showed an indescribable smile at the corner of his mouth.
Qi San's guy is really bloody.
Because of Qi Xiaorong's matter, things are very urgent, and it is impossible for Qi San to have too much preparation.
In addition, Qi Xiaorong has a special identity, and there are many things, even if he is prepared, he can't be above board.
Qi San is also single, since this is the case, then everything will be replaced by cash.
At this time, Qi Xiaorong's dowry was all folded into cash by Qi San, a total of more than 58,000 taels, and the names of them were listed in great detail.
The old Qijia Fish Restaurant, although it is a daily income, but after all, there is a scale limit, a year, its gross profit, can have 10,000 taels, that is already quite good.
Not to mention, Qi San also had to give Sheng Jing a blood transfusion.
Qi Xiaorong's dowry of nearly 60,000 taels of silver, I'm afraid it really makes this old thing vomit blood.
It can also be seen from this that Qi San attaches great importance to this family business.
However, since Qi San dared to send it, Li Yuanqing certainly dared to accept it.
It's just ~~, Qi San's guy is worthy of being an intelligence background. He is much more shrewd and ruthless than Li Yuanqing imagined.
After a simple process, the maid was quickly sent clean by Li Yuanqing, and only Li Yuanqing and Qi Xiaorong were left in the room.
Li Yuanqing smiled and picked up Qi Xiaorong's red hijab, and said with a smile: "Sister, how do you feel today?" ”
Qi Xiaorong was aggrieved and depressed, but she was excited and happy, and couldn't help but throw herself into Li Yuanqing's arms all of a sudden, "Brother, the slave family, the slave family is not dreaming, right?" The slave family is so afraid, so afraid that when they wake up, all this, all this will be gone......"
Li Yuanqing gently patted Qi Xiaorong's back and said with a smile: "What are you crying about." Today is a great day for us. Crying again, crying into a little flower cat, my brother doesn't like it. ”
Qi Xiaorong reacted violently, hurriedly wiped away her tears, and forcibly held back herself from crying, her long eyelashes blinked, and she looked at Li Yuanqing with a blank look, like a wronged little beast.
Li Yuanqing smiled, gently played with Qi Xiaorong's little hand, and said with a smile: "Big lady, how do you feel?" ”
Qi Xiaorong hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth to Li Yuanqing, and said entangledly: "Master, slave maid, slave maid feels, eldest lady, eldest lady doesn't seem to like slave and maid very much...... However, the slave also understood the eldest lady's intentions. The slave is from this background, after all...... However, brother, don't worry, the slave will definitely do her best to get the approval of the eldest lady. ”
Li Yuanqing smiled: "You can figure this out, that's not bad." Remember. In everything, we must talk about the rules and follow the rules. Otherwise, if something happens, my brother won't be able to save you? Got it? ”
Qi Xiaorong hurriedly nodded obediently, "Brother, the slave will definitely do her best." ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, but whispered in Qi Xiaorong's ear: "Sister Rong'er, today, is it whitewashed?" ”
Qi Xiaorong was stunned for a moment, but she also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, her pretty face couldn't help but blush, she leaned on Li Yuanqing's arms shyly, and murmured in a low voice: "Brother, the slave maid has washed ...... today."
The bright red candles fluttered back and forth, and soon, the entire room immediately rose to another world......
…………
The next day, it wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Li Yuanqing sat up lazily from the warm quilt, and was a little reluctant to get up.
For Li Yuanqing, this is a very rare thing.
However, looking at the seductive and delicate body half-hidden in the quilt beside him, Li Yuanqing's mouth couldn't help but show an indescribable smile at the corner of his mouth.
Qi Xiaorong's talent in this area is really far beyond Li Yuanqing's imagination.
Although the two have only been together for two days, they have already blended like milk.
To some extent, Qi Xiaorong is more talented than Wan'er, or even more talented than a top-brand Oiran like Li Liuli.
Especially her special physique......
Although this is a thorny nut, ~~, once you open the seemingly hard case on the outside, you can understand more and more how wonderful it is.
At this time, perhaps feeling the faint cool breeze brought up by Li Yuanqing next to him, Qi Xiaorong also woke up, and was about to get up with a busy struggle: "Brother, slave, slave and maid, slave and maid are waiting for you to dress." ”
