Chapter 44: Sending a granddaughter as a concubine
The Dong family is the richest family in Shangcai.
The family is big, and the work is also fast!
Not long after Yuan Xu returned to the official mansion, the carriage and horse of the Dong family to greet him had already arrived.
Before leaving the palace and jumping on his mount, he looked around.
The people on the street looked at him very strangely.
Turning over the horse and arching his hand, Yuan Xu shouted: "It's just a change of residence, thanks to all of you, Yuan is terrified!" ”
"Phew!" In the crowd, a teenager spat and scolded in a low voice: "What a shame!" ”
The middle-aged man on the side hurriedly pulled him and made a look.
The young man clenched his fists and glared at Yuan Xu, as if he was about to erupt into flames in his eyes.
As if he hadn't noticed anything abnormal, Yuan Xu triumphantly walked onto the street under the guidance of the Dong family's servants!
"Another dog officer!" Seeing his departing back, the young man muttered in a low voice: "I only hate to kill less!" ”
"Don't want a head?" glared at him, stopped his middle-aged man and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
was reprimanded, but the young man was unconvinced but didn't say anything more.
Along the way, the eyes that greeted Yuan Xu were all hatred and hatred.
He didn't care, but greeted the people along the way as he walked, as if he was being sent off in the middle of the road.
And no one paid attention to his greetings!
The people just glared at him angrily, and some of them gritted their teeth, as if they were going to pounce on him and bite him.
The four guards who closely protected Yuan Xu were all full of black lines.
He greeted the people along the way, but the guards muttered.
The fifth prince can't be squeezed by the door with his head, right?
Everyone was obviously eager to bite him down, but he was smiling, like a hero returning triumphantly.
Dongjia is located in the southeast corner of Shangcai City.
On the open vermilion gate, there is a plaque with white letters on a black background.
The plaque is written with the word "Dong House" in small seal characters!
Except that there are no stone lions outside the door, the momentum of this mansion is actually a few points better than that of the government.
Dong He was already waiting outside the door.
Seeing Yuan Xu coming, he hurriedly ran down the steps, saluted and said, "I have been waiting for the county lieutenant for a long time!" ”
Riding on horseback, Yuan Xu replied casually: "There is Lao Donggong!" ”
"I have instructed my family to sweep out a courtyard for the county lieutenant!" Yuan Xu dismounted, Dong He stepped forward and said flatteringly: "The humble house is vulgar, it is not as good as the noble family, and the county lieutenant should not dislike it!" ”
"The vermilion gate is full of luxury, the door nails are clear, and there are only two stone lions left under the steps!" On the steps, Yuan Xu stood outside the main entrance, pointed down and said: "Dong Gong put two more stone lions, even if it is the Changshi Mansion, I am afraid it is not as good as Dong Gong!" ”
Yuan Xu was taken aback by what Dong He said, and hurriedly hugged his fists and made a big salute and said: "The county lieutenant said that he laughed, he was born as a businessman, a despicable person, how dare he place a stone lion outside the door!" ”
Smiling slightly, Yuan Xu didn't say anything more, raised his feet and stepped over the threshold into the front yard.
Zhen Yi's residence already made him feel the extravagance of local officials.
After entering the front yard of Dong He's house, Yuan Xu realized that compared to here, Zhen Yi's residence could be called a humble room.
There are many flowers and trees planted in the house, and the houses are also lined up.
It's just that compared with Zhen Yi's residence, the layout of the courtyard here is a little less elegant, and more is magnificent and vulgar!
"The courtyard arranged for the county lieutenant is in the back house!" personally guided Yuan Xu, Dong He said with a smile: "There are a lot of guests in the next house, and the small courtyard that has been cleaned up is quite clean!" ”
"Dong Gong has a heart!" Yuan Xu thanked him lightly.
Passing through the bluestone road in the front yard, a round gate appears in front of you.
There was still some distance from the round gate, and Yuan Xu saw that there were two columns lined up inside, and there were many women standing in Yingying Yanyan.
Women range from eleven or twelve to fourteen or fifteen years old, all of them have been groomed and tidyed, although they are not as beautiful as Zhen Xiaoguo, but they are also beautiful and elegant.
"I've seen the county lieutenant!" Just wondering why there were so many women waiting in the round gate, all the women saluted Yuan Xu one after another.
Looking at Dong He in amazement, Yuan Xu asked, "Dong Gong, what does this mean?" ”
"Don't hide it from the county lieutenant, I have four sons in Xia, the family is quite prosperous, and there are quite a few granddaughters!" With a hint of embarrassment, Dong He said: "I heard that the county lieutenant has not yet married, so I chose a few of my granddaughters who are quite attractive. If the county lieutenant can still see it, he can choose one or two as concubines! ”
Tilting his head to look at Dong He, Yuan Xu's eyes didn't blink.
was uncomfortable to be looked at by him, Dong He bent his waist, and didn't dare to look at him.
"Miss is all well-groomed, if you want it, how about Dong Gong?" With a grin, Yuan Xu suddenly asked.
Dong He said without thinking about it: "If the county lieutenant is happy, then he will accept it!" ”
There are more than a dozen women standing in two columns, to say the least!
Yuan Xu made provocative remarks, but he didn't expect Dong He to climb up the pole!
The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family are extremely honored, and they occupy Hebei and other places, which is in full swing.
Mo said that he just accepted Dong He's granddaughter, even if he asked Dong He to give his wife, he would not be embarrassed at all!
"Dong Gong carries love, and a certain feeling is very good!" Shaking his head, Yuan Xu said: "Although I like beauty, I like to be distracted." was ordered to be the county lieutenant to suppress the thief, and he still had to live in the Dong Gong's Mansion for some time, or one day, he fell in love with a certain lady, and it was uncertain! ”
Yuan Xu clearly refused, how could Dong He not hear it!
climbed to such a dignitary as the Yuan family in Hebei, and in the future, even if it was a county order, he would not dare to do anything to him in the future.
From a humble background, the concubine of the Yuan family didn't dare to think about it at all, so he could only fight Yuan Xu's idea.
It's a pity that Yuan Xu's temperament is uncertain, so he called all his good-looking granddaughters.
He didn't even look at it properly.
After all, he had to live in Dong's house for a long time, and he had to find out the root cause of the trouble, and Yuan Xu couldn't directly offend Dong He.
Seeing that he was unhappy, Yuan Xu said: "The so-called good things are grinding, if a certain lady and a certain lady in the house are in love with each other in the future, I hope that Dong Gong will be successful!" ”
Born in a businessman, although he has no money, his identity is extremely humble.
Yuan Xu did not directly refuse, but had already given Dong He a lot of face.
Although he understood that Yuan Xu was perfunctory, he didn't dare to say anything, Dong He had to respond: "But depending on the decision of the county lieutenant, if a little girl enters the eyes of the county lieutenant in the future, just talk to the subordinates and accept her as a concubine!" ”
"Thank you Dong Gong for your love!" Dropping a sentence, Yuan Xu walked straight in front of the women.
Full of chagrin, Dong He waved his hand at the women lined up in two rows.
The women saluted him and departed.
Passing through a corridor in the backyard, Dong He led Yuan Xu to a small courtyard with a separate family.
The small courtyard is located in the depth of the back garden, and it is not too far from the place where Dong He's family and the female dependents live!
