Chapter 381: Two Letters of Appointment
"Auntie, Rui Niang's heart is bitter." Ni Ruiniang lay in Ni's arms and cried: "My cousin and I are a couple, I am my cousin's wife, why have I become a concubine now?" ”
Ni Ruiniang is just delicate, but she can cry, every time she cries, she is pear blossoms with rain, and she looks very delicate and pitiful: "Rui Niang is not wronged for herself, Rui Niang is wronged for the Ni family...... Auntie, our Ni family is also a family of poetry and books, in the past few generations, there have also been masters, now although the family is in the middle of the road, but the Ni family's style is still there, how can Rui Niang ...... How can you be a concubine? ”
Ni Shi loves Ni Ruiniang's niece very much, and she is also sad about the Ni family's family, but: "What can we do?" Your cousin wants silver for the fame test, and if he wants to be admitted to the Jinshi, he can't afford it without a few hundred taels of silver, where can our Ni family get this silver? ”
The Ni family now has more than a dozen acres of land, plus half of the yard in the town.
Why is it a half-seater?
Because Uncle Ni's business failed, he sold half of the yard to pay off the debt, and now there is only half of the yard left in the family, and the whole family is crammed into four rooms, and there is no house to live in.
"Rui Niang, don't be sad, your uncle has promised her aunt that as long as you can give birth to a son, the Wan family will not let Gu Yumei get pregnant, and my aunt has prepared the shunzi soup for her, and once she marries, she will give her the shunzi soup."
Ni Ruiniang was overjoyed when she heard this, but she made a worried expression on her face: "Auntie, is this done?" What if it is discovered by the Gu family, what if you don't give the money for your cousin's scientific examination? ”
Ni sneered: "Heh, what if the Gu family finds out?" This girl is married, can she still take her home? Besides, my aunt has already found a good excuse, just your cousin wants to concentrate on studying and taking the test for fame, and now it is not good to have a child, so I will stop her medicine in a few years and let her give birth. ”
It's just that the shunzi soup that Ni bought is specially for the girls in the building, don't drink it, you just need to drink it for a month, even if you stop taking medicine in the future, it is impossible to give birth.
Ni Ruiniang is quite smart, and when she heard this, she felt that it was not possible, and asked: "Give Gu Yumei medicine, but Rui Niang will be born at that time, so what should I do?" ”
Ni Shi said indifferently: "That's because our Rui Niang is blessed, she got pregnant once, who let her Gu Yumei die, and she didn't sit on the bed." ”
Ni Ruiniang felt that this excuse still didn't work, but thinking that it was beneficial to herself, she didn't do anything more, but said to Ni with a grateful face: "Aunt is like this for Rui Niang, Rui Niang is grateful, I really can't repay it, I only want to make cattle and horses for my aunt in the future, in order to repay my aunt's great kindness." ”
After hearing this, Ni liked Ni Ruiniang more and more, and felt that she was a grateful person, so he hugged her and said: "Auntie's Rui Niang girl, aunt doesn't need you to be a cow or a horse, as long as you give birth to the golden grandson in your belly, you will repay your aunt." ”
As soon as Ni Ruiniang arrived at Wanjia, Ni asked the doctor to take Ni Ruiniang's pulse, but the days were too short, and the doctor didn't take it out, but Ni Ruiniang's monthly letter didn't come this month, so Ni Ruiniang was sure that Ni Ruiniang must be pregnant.
Ni Ruiniang did not deny it, but took the opportunity to say: "Auntie...... If Rui Niang is a concubine, the child in her belly will be a concubine...... The scholar clan pays the most attention to the difference between the concubines, and the concubines will not only be mouthed as soon as they are born, but they will also be disliked by other scholars who go to the examination for fame...... Although Rui Niang is willing to be a concubine, she is really reluctant to let the child in her belly become a concubine. ”
When Ni heard this, he was startled, yes, if Rui Niang became a concubine, her baby golden grandson would be a concubine, which is not a school
But......
"Auntie can't help it, your uncle doesn't agree with you being Brother Fang'er's wife, you can only be wronged as a concubine."
Over the years, because she has always made up for her mother's family, the old man has been very dissatisfied, and asked Brother Fang to marry Rui Niang as a concubine, but she made a few troubles.
Ni Ruiniang lowered her head slightly, her eyes rolled, and after a while, she came up with her own idea: "Auntie, there are actually other ways." Dad, there are many families in Jiangnan who will marry flat wives, but they are both big and both are wives...... Rui Niang didn't want to fight with the Gu family girl, nor did she deliberately go against her uncle, but for the sake of the child, Rui Niang had to disobey once, begging her aunt to take pity on the poor child, let her cousin marry Rui Niang as a flat wife, and give the child an identity as a concubine. ”
At the end, Ni Ruiniang cried aggrievedly again, looking very pitiful.
After hearing this, Ni's eyes lit up: "Yes, you can still marry a flat wife." Eh, Auntie's Rui Niang, you're still smart enough to think of such a good idea. You wait, and your aunt will go to your uncle and ask him to promise your cousin to marry you. ”
For the sake of his baby Jin Sun and the Ni family, the Ni family went directly to the study in the front yard and asked Xiaozi to call Wan Xiucai, who was still in class, back.
Wan Xiucai returned to the study with a calm face, and after seeing Ni Shi, he said angrily: "Ni Shi, what do you want to do?" Didn't Ni Ruiniang pick you up, what do you want? ”
Ni Shi said loudly: "What else do I want?" I want you to promise Brother Fang to marry Rui Niang as a flat wife! ”
"Flat wife?" Wan Xiucai listened, her face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "Who gave you this bad idea, scholar, where does someone marry a flat wife, only the unruly businessman will marry a flat wife." ”
The scholar clan and the wang clan pay attention to the rules and will not marry a flat wife. If you marry a flat wife, there is only one backyard in this house, so who counts? Isn't it a mess?
Ni said: "Don't make excuses, why can't you marry a flat wife, I think you just dislike the Ni family, want to humiliate the Ni family, and deliberately let Rui Niang be a concubine!" ”
"Ni Ruiniang did ugly things with Brother Fang before she passed the door, Wanjia can marry her as a concubine is already giving her face, if you are not enough, I will let the next person send Ni Ruiniang back to the Ni family." Wan Xiucai has been defeated in front of the Ni family many times, and he is also angry, so he simply said such heavy words.
Ni sneered: "Let me ask you one more question, do you agree to allow Brother Fang to marry Rui Niang as a flat wife?" ”
Wan Xiucai: "Don't you think about it! Either be a concubine, or let Ni Ruiniang get out! ”
"Okay, good, you forced me." Ni pointed at Wan Xiucai and said: "The surname is Wan, I will tell you today, if you don't agree to Brother Fang to marry Rui Niang as a flat wife, I will take Rui Niang out and tell everyone in the town that Rui Niang is pregnant with Brother Fang, so that you will lose the face of your family, and see how you will teach and educate people in the future!" ”
"You, what are you?" Wan Xiucai was shocked: "Brother Fang is your son, I am your man, what benefits can you get by destroying us like this?" ”
Ni knew that Wan Xiucai was the most embarrassed, as long as she was like this, Wan Xiucai would definitely agree, so she simply made an open look, and shouted: "You don't let the Ni family live, don't let my golden grandson live, I still care about your family, what do you father and son do?" ”
