"Mastermother, it's good," Shi Nian heard this, stepped forward and took a step, knelt on the ground, lowered his eyes and said bitterly, "The child just took a fancy to the fourth girl Cen who came out." Although the flower fair on that day was the daughter of the Cen family, it was ...... But the poems are all from the mouth of her sister. Although this woman is a concubine, she is also full of wealth......"

"But those four girls were born from the belly of a thief!" The second lady listened to what Shi Nian said, and was so angry that she was about to lose her breath, pointing to the top of Shi Nian's head and scolding, "Nian'er, you have been in high school since you were young, and the head of the Cen family is not as tall as you-if you have a crush on your daughter-in-law, it's fine, but why do you want to marry a concubine?" How can a high-ranking family in the Hou Mansion marry a concubine whose mother has done ugly things to be a big lady? ”

Sure enough, the second lady still cares about her concubine the most.

How could Shi Nian, a son, not understand this? That's why he hasn't spoken for so many days. He sent silent every day to the front to ask if there was a woman who came to find him with the jade pendant, but it was always a bamboo basket to draw water.

That Cen Caiwei has never come to look for herself, or ...... She couldn't get out of that house on her own. Every time I think of this Shi Nian, I feel anxious, and I can't wait to go to Cen Mansion to ask her. I was afraid that a foreign man would run over suddenly and really tarnish her innocence, so there was no way.

Xi Manwan saw that Shi Nian was really ugly, so she had to step forward and say, "Second lady, don't be restless...... This, this Cen family's family style is not bad, and the concubine is full of wealth, no matter what, it is best to be able to have a heart-to-heart relationship with the eldest brother......"

"Shut up! What do you know, how can you speak here!? The second lady turned her head and scolded, her face a little hideous with anger.

The eldest lady has always loved her daughter-in-law, and the third brother is not her own child, but she also treats it as her own, how can she be scolded like this? So he frowned and said sharply: "Why is the second room so grim? The third brother's family is also good - our Hou Mansion is already a big family, do you have to value the lady's background? Besides, even the concubine is also a good girl from a Qingliu family, but our Hou Mansion is doing those things that are important to the concubine and abandon the concubine, isn't it self-defeating? ”

The eldest lady is the most qualified to say this. She has always treated her concubines as if she were her own, even Shi Pengshan was jealous and calculating Shi Qingqian back then, she couldn't bear to send her away directly, and only when she really threatened Shi Qingqian would she look at her coldly.

At that time, Shi Nian was considered a concubine, and if it weren't for the eldest lady's strong advocacy, he would not have had the opportunity to go around studying abroad. Shi Nian was even more blessed by the eldest lady, so he didn't call the powerful concubine in the third room so oppressed that he couldn't turn over.

"That's, that's not going to happen...... Cen Mansion has a good concubine, why should he choose that concubine!? The second lady's face turned white and purple when the eldest lady said it, she sat down and looked around the room, and for a moment she felt that the people in this room were all bewitching her proudest son to oppose her—they just wanted to ask her son to marry a low-class girl so that she would not be able to raise her head in this life!

The second lady gritted her teeth fiercely, knowing that she couldn't talk about the people in this room, and scolded: "You, you stinky boy, let me go back to the second room!" ”

"Big brother, big brother......" Seeing the second lady rushing out angrily, Shi Qingqian looked at Shi Nian and blamed himself for a while.

If he hadn't rushed to inquire about the news of the Cen family, maybe Shi Nian wouldn't have told him about the four girls of the Cen family...... Maybe this matter can be eased a little bit, and it will be said slowly.

Shi Nian bowed his head and saluted the eldest lady, and finally withdrew without saying anything.

Shi Qingqian was really ashamed, so he hurriedly got up and chased out-

"Big brother, big brother, please stay!" Shi Qingqian caught up with him in the garden, and stopped him with a soft cry, "Big brother, it's all my fault, I didn't know that this was the case at home...... At first, I just thought about helping my brother match the Cen family's sister's ......"

Shi Nian stopped, sighed softly, and said, "I don't blame you for this, it's all my mother...... Forget it. I'm really afraid that my mother will refuse to nod her head after hearing that she is a concubine, even if she doesn't say it recently, she will talk about this layer in the future. ”

Shi Qingqian pursed his lips, "Brother just said...... The poems on the poetry competition are actually from the mouth of the four girls of the Cen family? ”

She felt that there was something wrong with this sentence early on - at the poetry competition, it was the reputation of the eldest sister of the Cen family, because the half of the poetry competition also made many people in Beijing look down on the eldest sister of the Cen family, but in fact, it was a poem written by the fourth sister of the Cen family - is this not clear that the concubine took the limelight from the concubine?

As soon as he thought of Cen Caiwei's matter, Shi Nian felt sore in his heart, he thought for a moment and said: "Yes, the Cen family is not as clear as it is said outside, the daughters of their family are used to being lawless, but the fourth girl is so oppressed that her arms are covered with black scars...... I don't believe that the rumors say that her little lady has done ugly things that violate morality outside, even if it is true, the fourth girl is as clean as a piece of jade. ”

"Brother is saying...... That concubine is outside the gold and jade, and she is ruined? Shi Qing was stunned for a moment, but she also went to investigate, it seems that this Cen Mansion is really well decorated.

Shi Nian nodded sadly, "I have never seen such a woman for many years, and I can't deny that I was attracted by her poetry, but seeing her so cautious, I really feel sorry in my heart......"

"Does my brother want to marry her?" Shi Qingqian sighed softly, how humble women are in the world, they always have their own difficulties, if Miss Cen Si wants to get out of the sea of suffering, she can't hold her head up for the rest of her life by relying on her weak nature.

Shi Nian raised his head and sighed, "Alas, marrying a wife or taking a concubine, I think the result has been decided." I really looked at her so pitiful, and I really couldn't bear her to continue to spoil like this. ”

Although Shi Qingqian couldn't agree with Shi Nian's approach, he also understood his suffering.

The eldest brother of the Hou Mansion, and a bachelor from the third grade in the imperial court, must use the support of his wife's family to fight on the official road in the future, if the fourth girl Cen is his wife, then Shi Nian has narrowed his own back road, and if her identity is to be a concubine, it is the most suitable.

"It's just...... My brother has not yet married a wife and already has a concubine, so how dare a woman from another family dare to marry her brother if he says it? ”
