Almost at the same time that Yan Song, Yan Shifan, and Yan Hong were arguing over the matter of concubines in the Yan Mansion, similar things were also happening in the Xu Mansion, the cabinet assistant in Taishan Hutong, Beijing. However, there are more people involved in this time.

In the inner house, the wind and rain are loud.

"What, you want to give Ting'er to Yan Hong as a concubine? It's not going to happen! When Xu Fan's wife Qian heard this, she immediately ignored the etiquette and shouted loudly. Mrs. Xu Menqian has always been virtuous, and the old lady is in charge of the family, so it stands to reason that she should not collide like this. But this incident really touched the bottom line of the lady. A woman can tolerate her husband lending money to a good brother, which is called virtuousness; But if you allow your husband to give the house to a friend for free, it is not a matter of virtue, but of stupidity.

What's more, the arrangement in the house this time is to give a virtuous and lovely daughter to a famous flowery radish, the bully of the capital, Xiao Yama, as a concubine. The baby girl who is like a flower and jade goes to be a concubine, and the status of the wife and concubine is very different, do you want to see people in the future? Although the other party is the eldest grandson of the Yan family, he is a celebrity before the Son of Heaven drove, and he is a person in his early twenties who has already achieved the rank of the fourth grade of brocade clothes and guards, and the fifth rank of Shangbao Si Shaoqing and the captain of the upper horse. But no matter how beautiful it is, it's also a concubine! Mrs. Qian is desperately trying to anger her father-in-law, but she can't tolerate it anymore.

At this moment, Xu Jie was outside, not in front of her, and Mrs. Qian erupted at her husband: "Master, are you crazy?" Although the old lady is in charge of family affairs, he also has to talk about etiquette, right? Our daughter is a concubine, not a concubine. To be a concubine, do we still have to be faced? The old lady is the leader of Shilin, and his granddaughter is a concubine with others, is there any brilliance on his old man's face? ”

Xu Fan listened to the lady's counting. Silent. Just frowning. His hands clenched into fists, and he sighed. Mrs. Qian was even more anxious when she saw her husband like this, and shouted loudly: "Master, you are talking!" Let's not talk about face, is this a concubine for a serious lady? Do you watch your daughter being bullied like this? She's still your biological daughter, isn't she? ”

On one side, Miss Xu Ting, who is sixteen years old. Stand aside respectfully. Compared to two years ago, she is now taller, but the childishness on her face has not yet taken off. has been pampered in the Xu Mansion for a long time, and she has not brought much life like folk girls of the same age in the outside world.

In the last year, Miss Xu knew that her marriage was snatched away by the daughter of Governor Lu, and she couldn't help but feel a little remorseful in her heart. But this thought only passed through my mind like a shadow. There was no trace of him. After all, Miss Xu has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. He also strictly abides by the discipline of the boudoir, and believes that the parents are in charge of marriage matters. Since both grandfather and father said that Li Gongzi was not good, there must be something bad about it. What's more, at the Lantern Festival in the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing, the adventure of being taken out without authorization by Li Gongzi was really thrilling, and when he came back, he was also counted a lot by the maid.

Later, the maid Huanpei heard the news from the outside that Li Gongzi, who had once made Xu Ting confused, seemed to be plotting to assassinate Yan Gongzi's Mrs. Kyufa soon, but although he killed Mrs. Yan, he was also captured, and he was found out to be a White Lotus Sect bandit in the edict prison and had been executed. Looking at it this way, it can be regarded as a trouble-free thing. Therefore, Xu Ting has nothing to complain about. Horizontally and vertically, it's all fate. She just waited quietly for her family to marry her to someone in the future, and she would marry her.

In the past two days, I heard that my grandfather was in charge and wanted to marry myself to the young master Yan Hongyan as a concubine. This made Xu Ting feel faintly unhappy in her heart, after all, she originally planned to marry Yan Hong as her wife, but after being snatched away from her by someone, she was still entangled in this family and ended up being a concubine. For a young lady who grew up in a family of cabinet ministers, this is also very uncomfortable in any case.

However, Xu Ting is knowledgeable after all. Although her grandfather Xu Jie is an important figure in psychology, her education is still inseparable from the routine of science. Three from the four virtues, ethics and norms, have long been deeply imprinted in the depths of this little girl's mind, even if there is occasional rebellion, it is just a spray of nature. It is a sacred duty for a girl to obey the orders of the family. Xu Ting saw that her mother was angry, and hurriedly persuaded: "Mother, you should relax, don't be angry, take care of your body." Daddy is also good for Ting'er, if there is something inappropriate about Ting'er in this marriage, he must have a way. Moreover, my grandfather and his old man were the second assistants of the dynasty, so this arrangement must make sense. Do not anger your grandfather, lest he be angry. ”

When Xu Ting said this, Mrs. Xu was even more distressed, and said, "Master, look at how well-behaved and sensible our daughter is." Can you bear to let her do something small for someone else? How noble is our family, people who want to marry our girl as a wife can be lined up from our door to Shanhaiguan, why hang on a tree in the Yan family? In my opinion, don't the three sons of Li Chunfang and Li Shilang all say that they have the best talent? It's better to match the girl to him, and maybe he can be the wife of the old man in the future. The eldest son of the Yan family, I heard that he has always been a prodigal son who lives in Liumian, not only in Beijing City, but also in other places, even Western women, Tartar women, and Japanese female bandits are not jealous. The eldest lady of his family used to be the sixth granddaughter of the former household Shangshu, and the current eldest woman is just the daughter of Lu Bing, the Jinyi Wei, and there are a bunch of low-born aunts and wives in the family, some are female bandits who occupy the mountains and are kings, and some are female homeless people who are fighting on the rivers and lakes. Go and talk to the old lady! ”

Xu Fan shook his head with a bitter face and said, "My madam, you just say a few words." Am I willing to marry you? But when my father speaks, who dares to disobey? I was in front of me just now, and I didn't argue with my father, but I shouted at him. But look, look at ......" he pointed with his hand, and the lady saw that her husband still had a slap mark on his face. couldn't help but say, "The old lady beat it?" ”

Xu Fan said: "Nonsense, who else dares to beat me except my father?" The old man is iron-hearted this time, you can make trouble with me, but don't go to the old man's eyes to make trouble, otherwise you will be allowed to go to the house. I think it's a matter of our girl, you go back and teach her how to be a concubine, so as not to marry in the future and suffer losses. ”

When the lady saw her husband say this, she also knew that the matter was certain and that there was no change. couldn't help but feel sad, hugged her daughter and cried: "My poor girl, what sins I did in my last life, I want to repay my daughter." is innocent and innocent, why did she go to make a small girl? In Xu Ting's big watery eyes, tears also flowed down.

Xu Fan saw that his wife and daughter were like this, and Rao was a hundred steels and became soft. Although his talent and temperament are far worse than his father's, he still has the spiritual head handed down from the Xinxue family, and immediately gritted his teeth, patted the table and said: "That's it, the old lady is so confused, I will also let it go." Madam, you have to pack up with Ting'er, I'll ...... I'll take you two to escape from Beijing and go back to my hometown in Songjiang! Even if you guard a few acres of thin fields and drink gruel, it is better than marrying into the tiger and wolf den in Yanfu to make Ting'er suffer! ”

When Mrs. Qian saw her husband's sudden ambition, she was surprised and delighted, and shouted, "Master! ”。 How did Xu Ting hear this, but suddenly knelt down and said: "Daddy, your kindness to Ting'er, your gratitude to Ting'er, Ting'er knows." But when it comes to marriage, the grandfather is in charge. If we run away, how sad will Grandpa be? His old man's arrangement must be far-sighted. Father, mother, you ...... You just let Ting'er marry that Yan Gongzi. Yanfu is a product of the dynasty, and Ting'er will not lack food and clothing. Ting'er also heard that the eldest son of Yan has great skills, and he became a high-ranking official at a young age, although Ting'er is his aunt's wife, she is also better than the eldest wife of a small family. ”

Mrs. Qian saw Xu Ting smiling like this, knowing that her daughter was afraid of causing family disharmony, so she made this statement to comfort her parents. Thinking of this, I burst into tears, almost wetting my clothes. Xu Fan couldn't hold back his tears, shook his sleeves and sighed: "Where did this come from!" ”

Mrs. Xu hugged her daughter tightly, stroked her daughter's hair, and cried: "Ting'er, it's really hard for you." In the future, if you marry in the past, if the main room dares to bully you, my mother will go and fight with her. Even if she Lu Bing has 100,000 brocade clothes, she is not afraid of her as a mother! ”

Xu Ting saw that her mother was licking the calf deeply, and she couldn't help it anymore, so she hugged her mother and cried: "Mother, mother, don't say that." A woman marries her husband, after I get married, even if the eldest woman beats and scolds, it is Ting'er herself who does not do well, and she dare not alarm her mother. (To be continued......)
