Chapter 22: Three concubines compete for favor

Ji Lingyun didn't answer when he heard this, but asked: "Then the imperial brother also wants to ask the imperial brother, do you know that the queen mother is looking for a candidate for the crown princess recently, and I don't know if the imperial brother is the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo?" Or is it the young lady of the Yu Taifu family? ”

Ji Chengyu shook his head with a smile, pointed at Ji Lingyun and said, "You just have a hard mouth, wait for Miss Bai to marry a wife, and see if you still have the heart to make fun of me." ”

Ji Lingyun looked at the disrupted chess game and was stunned, and he didn't have the heart to play chess, so he simply threw the chess pieces and said, "Forget it, I admit defeat and won't play." ”

Ji Chengyu also put down the chess pieces and said: "Your mind is not on the chess game, and you can only admit defeat." ”

Ji Lingyun closed his eyes and relaxed, and sighed: "This woman is really unpredictable, and I can't rest assured. ”

Bai Zonglin took the Qi family back, and the two looked respectful to each other, and no one in the family mentioned that Bai Yueyu would be a concubine for Song Shiyang. Aunt Zhao was reprimanded by the Zhou family, and she looked at it a lot, but Bai Yanran knew that with Bai Yueyu's temperament, it would never stop there.

Aunt Zhao's toss in this pregnancy, I thought that it should be better after the first three months, but I didn't want to react more and more. It was at this time that the old lady of the Qi family, Xu, called her daughter Qi back, and when Qi returned after staying for a long time, she brought back two beautiful women who were in their prime.

After the Qi family took the two women back to Baifu, they went straight to Shou'an Hospital, and when they saw Zhou, they first asked for guilt: "The daughter-in-law has been a wife for many years, but the old man has a thin heir under his knees, and the daughter-in-law is incompetent." ”

Zhou He had seen Qi take the initiative to bow his head, and he couldn't grasp her thoughts for a while, so he didn't say anything.

Qi continued: "Now that my aunt Zhao is pregnant and can't wait for the master, the daughter-in-law knows that she is old and decrepit, so she tries her best to find two good family women and wants to take her as a good concubine for the master." In this way, there can be someone waiting around the master, and secondly, he can also spread more branches and leaves for the Bai family, and ask the old lady for permission. ”

The Zhou family didn't expect the Qi family to be so virtuous and generous, and after thinking about it for a while, she only thought of it because she was snubbed by Bai Zonglin after she came back, and she wanted to please the officials. But the Zhou family has long suspected that his son's heirs are thin, but Bai Zonglin has been refusing to take any more concubines for the sake of Aunt Zhao.

Especially recently, because of Bai Yueyu's incident, Zhou's dissatisfaction with Aunt Zhao reached the extreme, but she couldn't have a seizure because she was pregnant. But now that the Qi family proposed to take a concubine, she naturally had no reason to disagree, and she should accept it.

"It's naturally good that you can be so virtuous and generous, and in that case, I will agree to make the decision for my son."

Qi pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Daughter-in-law, thank you for the old lady." ”

The Tang and Yang clans behind her also saluted, "More old ladies." ”

Zhou said: "Raise your head and let me take a good look." ”

The two of them raised their heads, and they all looked good. Tang's pretty Yang is gentle, and his body is also good to raise, and Zhou couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

After dinner, Zhou called Bai Zonglin to tell him about it, Bai Zonglin wanted to object, but Zhou had already opened his mouth to block his words.

She said: "Although your mother is old, I haven't forgotten the ugly things that the Zhao family and her good daughter did before." Now that Zhao is pregnant, I can't punish her, but if you really want me to be angry, don't make this look like I'm dizzy.

You only have one son and two daughters under your knees, and even if you add the Zhao family's belly, the heirs are still thin. You have to know that you have the heavy responsibility of opening up branches and leaves for the Bai family, and you haven't said anything about the Zhao family as your mother all these years, but you can't really be dizzy for a woman! ”

The Zhou family spoke so violently, and a burden of spreading branches and leaves was pressed down, and Bai Zonglin finally had to respond. The next day, the Qi clan was opened, and the house was lively when it was neutral.

Because it had only been long since Bai Yueyu's wedding banquet had passed, Bai Zonglin felt that his face was not good-looking, and he was careless about this matter, so he simply saved the hospitality. Only bought a few clothes and jewelry for the Tang family and the Yang family, and when they picked an auspicious time, two sedan chairs were carried in from the side door of Baifu with the sound of firecrackers.

Although the house does not entertain guests, it is a happy event, and the family should get together for a meal to celebrate. Even Zhou's rare attendance is enough to see that she is concerned about this matter, only Aunt Zhao did not come on the grounds that she was unwell, but everyone knows whether she is unwell or uncomfortable.

Halfway through the meal, Gu's mother came over in a hurry, and when she saw Bai Zonglin, she cried and said with a sad face: "Master, it's not good, my aunt's stomach hurts badly, you go and take a look." ”

Bai Yueyu immediately continued: "Auntie, when she is older, this fetus is already hard to conceive, today I am afraid that my heart is unstable and the fetal gas has moved, Daddy, go and take a look." ”

When Bai Zonglin heard this, he immediately got up nervously and wanted to leave, but the Zhou crutch on the top slammed it on the ground, and said coldly: "Don't go!" ”

Bai Zonglin was embarrassed: "Mother, Zhao's may have fetal gas, I have to go and see." ”

Zhou Shi said angrily: "If you have a fetal gas, don't ask the doctor to come to you, can you take the pulse or prescribe medicine?" Today is your big day, and when the sky falls, you have to go to the marriage room for me to sleep. I'll go and see it in person at Zhao's place, what's the matter, aren't you still at ease as a mother? ”

Zhou said so, Bai Zonglin had to respect the order, and he was not in the mood to eat anymore. Seeing that Zhou went to Huixin Courtyard with Gu's mother, his heart was also relieved a lot. Even if her mother doesn't like Zhao anymore, she won't ignore the son in her womb, and Zhao will be fine.

The little maid who had been ordered by the Zhou family was still looking outside, waiting for Bai Zonglin to choose a new place for his aunt to go. Bai Zonglin still remembered that Aunt Zhao didn't have much thought, so he casually chose a nearby courtyard and went.

Xianlan Courtyard is the courtyard of the Yang family, and after Bai Zonglin entered, he saw that the Yang family still had a hijab on his head, and he was still waiting for himself to lift the hijab for several hours, so he felt guilty and stepped forward to lift the hijab.

The Yang family under the hijab was dressed in red makeup, his eyebrows were picturesque, and his delicate eyes called "husband", and Bai Zonglin, who saw it, couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion. After a moment of stalemate, Yang got up and said, "The husband has worked hard all day, let the concubine serve you and rest in your clothes." ”

Yang's is only in the age of Chunxin, it is the age of the prime, although the appearance is not as gorgeous as Aunt Zhao, but it has a temperament as light as Julan to make people love. The two of them changed their clothes and untied their own quilts and lay down, and the beauty was on the side, even if Bai Zonglin didn't have this mind before, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy at this moment.

After a while, Yang's hand quietly reached into Bai Zonglin's quilt, and Bai Zonglin immediately lifted the quilt and hugged the person over......

One night in the spring, the next day Yang and Tang went to greet Qi together, Qi looked haggard as if he hadn't slept well, and Mother Sun next to her looked at Yang more like she was holding a knife. Bai Yanran happened to see it when she came over, and she couldn't help frowning.

The two of them gave Qi family tea according to the rules, Qi family drank tea and gave the same reward, and casually said two words such as "get along in harmony", and let Mother Sun help her go back to rest.

As soon as the Qi family left, the Tang family couldn't help pursing his lips, and turned to look at the Yang family and smiled: "Sister is really a good method, I heard that the master got up late today and almost missed the time." I can't see that my sister has a cold temperament, but she still has such ability, no wonder Mrs. couldn't sleep well last night. ”

Yang's face smiled gently, and his expression remained unchanged: "My sister said that she was laughing, Mrs. didn't sleep well, presumably because she had been tired of marriage recently." Sister don't worry, when I got up in the morning, the old man said that I would go to my sister tonight, and my sister went back and waited, but don't let the old man oversleep again, it's not good to explain to the old lady. ”

The old lady in Yang's mouth refers to the old lady of the Qi family, Xu, both of whom were found by Xu, and the door of life was also pinched in Xu's hands, so Qi dared to bring people into the mansion.

Yang is the concubine of a distant relative in the Xu family, and it has been delayed until now because of the marriage in the middle of the family. And the Tang family is a girl in the Zhuangzi of the Qi family, although she was born beautiful, but because her father is a gambler, no one came to the door to propose.

Tang didn't expect Yang to look weak, but he was not a bully, so he had to endure it by himself when he touched a soft nail.

But fortunately, Bai Zonglin really came to Lanyue Courtyard that night, the Tang family was born beautiful, and he dressed up carefully, which really amazed Bai Zonglin, and this night was naturally a good night.

Bai Zonglin was originally a literati who valued love and promises, so he has kept his promise to Aunt Zhao all these years and has not taken concubines, but he is also a man in the end.

Since Aunt Zhao became pregnant, he has not been on good terms with the Qi family, and he has not been gentle for a long time. This suddenly added two beauties to the side, and I couldn't hold it for a while, so I looked at Aunt Zhao for a while, and I haven't been to Huixin Courtyard for a long time.

Aunt Zhao originally thought that day that she would use the child in her womb to call Bai Zonglin over and keep him overnight, and then say some love words to coax him, it was best for him not to touch those two women. When she has some free time, there are means to drive the two little away.

But what she didn't want to wait for was the Zhou family with a bad face, and Aunt Zhao was beaten by the Zhou family for a few days. But seeing that Bai Zonglin liked the new and hated the old and left herself behind, she either sat still, and on this day, she asked someone to boil the soup and send it to Bai Zonglin personally.

Aunt Zhao was waiting outside the study of Zhaohe Courtyard for the next person to pass it on, and she didn't want the Tang family to bring food to the study to offer her hospitality, but the two of them actually thought of a place. Aunt Zhao was already unpleasant, but when she saw that Tang was young and beautiful, she was not very happy.

"How did the subordinates of this Zhaohe Courtyard work on errands, the study is heavy, and they even let in any foxes."

The Tang clan is used to sharp teeth, and he will be angry there, so he replied: "Yo, this is Sister Zhao, right?" My sister should be well raised in her yard when she is pregnant, why do you still work hard to bring soup to the master, just let my sister do these little things. After all, my sister is an old clam with a pearl, but you have to be more careful. ”

"You!"

Aunt Zhao had just spoken, and Tang said quickly: "Sister's heart, my sister will tell the master, but my sister is still pregnant, and it is useless to send more tonic soup to the master, in the end, it is still cheaper for my sister, which makes my sister embarrassed." So my sister should go back to raise the baby with peace of mind, after all, this is my sister's only reliance. ”
