Chapter 684: Concubine

In her reply, Miss Bian wrote about her experience and recent situation over the years, and naturally mentioned her engagement.

She was quite satisfied with the marriage. In other words, the Bian family is all very satisfied. This is Cheng Bian, the aunt who married into the Marquis Mansion of Ningguo, that is, Cheng Du's mother pulled the strings from it and said for her niece. The man is Cheng Du's own grandmother, the late Ning Guohou's original wife, the grandson of her maiden sister. At that time, these two old ladies had extraordinary backgrounds, and both of them married in the prince's mansion. It's just that my sister went early, and her only biological son was pitifully suppressed by her stepmother and younger brother, but her sister lived a long life, and now she has children and grandchildren, enjoying wealth and honor.

The surname of this family is Wan, it is the Pingchang Marquis Mansion, and when it comes to family inheritance, I am afraid that it is more established than the Ningguo Marquis Mansion. Although it is no longer a beautiful place, the children of the family do not really hold important ministers and are in a high position, but the victory lies in the prosperity of the descendants, the gentlemen, the elites, the generations have people who have been out of office, and the family business is also prosperous, so the family continuity is not a problem, and the status in the capital is no worse than that of the Marquis of Ningguo.

Cheng Du's mother, Cheng Bian, was concerned about her mother's family, and saw that there were many children in the Pingchang Marquis's Mansion, so she chose a second son of a side branch, although there was no title to inherit, nor was it carefully cultivated by the elders of the family, it was not as good as the eldest brother and younger brother to be favored, but he was very attentive to his studies, and he had already been admitted to show his talents. Although he was not favored at home, no one excluded him. In the future, after getting married, most of them will have to split up and live separately. But he can take the career of the imperial examination, and in the eyes of Bian Juren, he is a good future with a bright future. The most important thing is that this kid has a good temperament and must be able to tolerate Miss Bian's innocence and innocence.

Miss Bian has always regarded Xie Yingrong as a good best friend, and now she wants to inform her best friend about her satisfactory marriage, so naturally there is no reason to hide it. She even mentioned in the letter that she was curious about her fiancé's appearance, and quietly begged her cousin-in-law Zuo Siyun, and when her fiancé visited Ning Guohou's mansion, she hid behind the screen and peeked at each other. If it weren't for the fact that he was not yet old, the man's parents also hoped that their son could concentrate on studying for a few more years and prepare for the next township test, she would have been eager to get married soon!

Miss Bian was not ashamed to tell her best friend in the letter what she didn't dare to mention to her family, but Xie Yingrong, the good friend she thought was so angry that her face turned blue.

Xie Yingrong learned that Miss Bian, the silly girl she had always looked down on, was fortunate enough to marry into the Hou Mansion, and the anger in her heart was very depressed.

She kept asking herself: Why? As good as her, she is favored by God and has an unprecedented opportunity, and she can't marry a child of the Hou Mansion who is squeezed by all means, how can Miss Bian do what she can't do? ! Where is she worse than Miss Bian? Can't compare your family background, can't you compare your appearance? Or is it not as clever as it gets?! Why did the Marquis of Pyeongchang fall in love with a stupid girl from a mediocre background who was talentless and unattractive? !

Xie Yingrong was unwilling and resentful, and he began to panic when he was done.

How can it be so coincidental, but it is a surname Wan?

Miss Bian did not mention in the letter whether her fiancé was a concubine or a concubine. But Xie Yingrong asked himself, if it is a concubine of the Hou Mansion, even if it is a side branch, but it is also a famous concubine, if he really wants to marry a wife, he will fall in love with the granddaughter of a six-rank official and the daughter of a person, which is puzzling enough, the woman is still mediocre, and even a little stupid, isn't the Hou Mansion afraid of spoiling his own son-in-law?! Even if he is no longer favored, he is still a descendant!

Therefore, Xie Yingrong guessed that Miss Bian's fiancé should be a concubine. It is precisely because he is a concubine, he is still well-born, and he has a good reputation, that the mother-in-law is jealous, so she will tell him a wife with a mediocre background and she is not outstanding. As for why it can be recognized by the Marquis of Pyeongchang? Maybe it's because Cheng Bian's family has the blue eyes of Mrs. Hou of Pingchang, and even her mother's family has benefited, right?

Thinking about it like this, Xie Yingrong was not calm again. She would rather that Miss Bian would marry the concubine of the Marquis of Pingchang than the concubine. Although she didn't remember which noble family the concubine surnamed Wan who became a new upstart in the court after the new monarch ascended the throne, there were not many people with the surname Wan, and even fewer had titles. Since the surname of the Marquis of Pyeongchang is Wan, most of them are the family of the concubine surnamed Wan! Could that be Miss Bian's fiancé?

Xie Yingrong remembered that the wife of the upstart surnamed Wan in his previous life was a concubine of a small official family, and then thought about the background of Miss Bian, and felt that there was no difference, could it be that the things that happened in the two lives were different, so the person married by the upstart surnamed Wan has also changed?

But no matter how it changes, this person shouldn't have called Miss Bian to go. Thinking of how this person will soar and become famous in the future, and how his wife will be infinitely beautiful, Xie Yingrong can't bear to be pressed on his head by the big girl Bian who he despises.

Is she going to take this man over? Even if he can't get it, at least he can't make Miss Bian have a problem with him!

An evil thought appeared in Xie Yingrong's heart. Although Xie Mulin's arrival calmed her down a little, the resentment in her heart still did not decrease, and she was still unwilling to watch Miss Bian fly up the high branch that she couldn't climb.

She decided to go to Bian's house in person and ask Miss Bian face-to-face whether the latter's fiancé was the concubine she remembered? ! If yes......

What should she do?

Xie Yingrong was at a loss for a while, thinking that she could only stay in the capital for a few days, if she found an excuse to stay, whether the Wanjia side could succeed in the calculation was still a matter of nothing, but she was going to directly offend the Bian family, she had nothing to rely on in Beijing, and she also lost the hope of marrying into a high-ranking family in Beiping......

Xie Yingrong was very confused in his heart, and he didn't know what he should do. But no matter what she plans to do next, she has to find out if Miss Bian's fiancé is that person first!

Xie Mulin stared at the change in the expression on Xie Yingrong's face, and he didn't have to guess to know that this girl was about to be a moth again. Going to Bian's house is not a big deal, she also feels that there are people staring at her, and the Bian family is not cooperative, Xie Yingrong can't make any big deals. But more is better than less, so why would she take the risk?

So she said to Xie Yingrong lightly: "I heard what Mrs. Zhang said, Miss Bian is busy with her homework, and she may not even have time to entertain you as a guest at home." Why do you take the initiative to go to the door and cause trouble for others? It's better to wait for the news of Miss Bian with peace of mind. We are as comfortable as the host, and when the time is convenient, send a letter to invite you, and it will not be too late for you to come to the door. If you really miss her and want to talk to her, just write a letter. ”

Xie Yingrong was stunned, and stepped forward with a smile: "Second sister, listen to me......"

Xie Mulin waved his hand and yawned: "It's not too early, I still have to go to dinner." The third sister can do it herself. If there is a letter that needs to be delivered, just tell the porter to call Mrs. Zhang. I'll go first, I'll see you later. After that, he went out directly, no matter how Xie Yingrong called, he didn't look back.
