Chapter 478: Concubine
Chu Yuqin had been observing the Jiang family.
If she is acting, it is too good. Her expression was calm and pure, not like a scheming person.
"Mrs. Shizi." Zhang and Duchess Ling Guo walked over.
Zhang is a beautiful woman with charm still alive. There is a mature charm about her, which is something that young women do not have.
Chu Yuqin was no stranger to him. After all, they used to deal with each other a lot. As a guest, Zhang is a cheerful person.
It's a pity that they are now on the opposite side. With the-stirring stick of the Duchess of Ling Guo, the peace between her and the Zhang family was broken.
"I've seen Mrs. Zhang." Zhang's husband is Zheng Sanpin. Although her official position is lower than that of Ling Shengyi, she is nominally the cousin of Duchess Ling Guo, and Duchess Ling Guo is Ling Shengyi's 'mother-in-law'. Whether they admit it or not, Zhang's is an aunt.
"Don't be so polite, Mrs. Shizi. It's not that we don't know each other. Zhang took Chu Yuqin's hand. It was really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and his own people didn't know his own people. If I knew that I still had such a fate with Mrs. Shizi, I would have taken advantage of you a little more. Look at my face, isn't it a lot rougher? When will your Thousand Faces Pavilion open? ”
"Madame, this skin is much more delicate than ours. Where's the roughness? This is why Mrs. wants to achieve better results, which is why she sets such high goals for herself. We are about to reopen recently. When the time comes, the first to inform Madame. ”
"Still calling Madame? I'm your mother's cousin. What should you call me? Zhang said angrily.
"Auntie." Chu Yuqin took advantage of the situation and changed his name.
"Good. Cousin, your daughter-in-law is a good girl. In the future, you have to take good care of her and don't bully her. We are all from the past, and the most unbearable thing is to be tossed by my mother-in-law. Those who are saving in the morning and dusk, don't you play, lose your identity more? ”
Duchess Ling Guo didn't understand what tricks the Zhang family was playing. Seeing that she liked Chu Yuqin like this, she suddenly became unhappy.
"Cousin, aren't you drinking afternoon tea? County lord, they didn't come? "Duchess Ling Guo didn't want the Zhang family to focus on Chu Yuqin.
Zhang smiled: "The county lord has been bored recently, why don't you come?" I'll be here later. By the way, there's something I'd like to tell you. ”
If the Zhang family had something to say to the Duchess of Ling Guo, he said to Chu Yuqin and the Jiang family: "You are free, don't be restrained. ”
Chu Yuqin wanted to know what they were calculating. But the other party didn't want them to hear those whispers, so she had no choice but to give up.
Watching Zhang and Duchess Ling Guo leave, Jiang said beside him: "There are good flowers over there, do you want to enjoy them?" ”
Chu Yuqin smiled: "Okay! It was my first time in Zhangfu. Sister-in-law wants to remind me. ”
Jiang said elegantly: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people." I have no conflict of interest with them, and naturally they will not mess with me. And all you have to do is not be too ostentatious. My younger siblings are different from me. You've been very ostentatious since you came to the capital. It is possible that the people in the capital do not know who the current queen is, but they must know who the owner of the Thousand Faces Pavilion is. ”
"You say that as if I'm going to get into trouble. Heaven and earth conscience, I never want to cause trouble, but trouble always comes to the door. Chu Yuqin said, "Have you seen Ling Qiuyun?" Look at her expression, it's obvious that she's calculating something. Sister-in-law, leave me alone later. I can handle it myself. Anyway, from the moment I received the post, I was prepared. ”
Jiang glanced at Ling Qiuyun.
The latter was talking to a couple of little sisters. Judging from their expressions, they are a few innocent aristocratic girls.
"Maybe my brother and sister are thinking too much." Jiang said.
"What does my sister-in-law's family do?" Chu Yuqin asked curiously.
"My father is the editor of the Imperial Study." Jiang said: "I have an elder brother who is the steward of the Imperial Doctor. ”
"Your home should be warm. There was no fighting at home. Loved by my father and mother, and pampered by my brother. Chu Yuqin said: "Before marrying into the Lingguo Mansion, you shouldn't have seen the deception in the back house. Am I right? ”
Jiang Shi looked at her in surprise and nodded slightly.
So in the eyes of the sister-in-law, what you see is a scene of harmony. But in my eyes, it was just the calm before the storm. I can't be as optimistic as my sister-in-law. However, my sister-in-law has such a warm family background, and I really didn't expect to marry in a place like Guogongfu. ”
"The Guogong Mansion is not as terrible as you say." Jiang saw a woman walking towards her and said happily, "That's Sister Jiang." She is the wife of the soldier and is a wonderful person. ”
"Looks like your friend is here. Then you go and accompany her! I have other things to do, so I won't accompany them. Chu Yuqin said.
"What can you do? Didn't you just say that you were coming to Zhangfu for the first time? You let me take you with me. Jiang asked.
"Do you have something to say to this Madame Chiang? If I follow you, it's not convenient for you to talk, right? I don't have any other abilities, but my eyesight is still good. Just go and say something intimate, and I'll be able to walk around by myself. Leave me alone. While talking to Jiang, she and Madame Jiang nodded.
Madame Jiang stood not far away, and when she saw Chu Yuqin nodding, she also returned a courtesy.
After Chu Yuqin deliberately walked away, Mrs. Jiang said, "This is your brother-in-law?" Sure enough, it's a rare beauty. ”
"I also know that she is beautiful. It's just that such a beautiful person has a lot of messes on his body. My sister and I haven't seen each other for a long time. How is my sister doing during this time? Jiang asked softly.
Madame Jiang listened to her words and sighed softly: "I came to my sister today, just to vent my bitterness with you." My ...... She's going to take a concubine. ”
"My sister and Master Jiang are a loving couple, I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Is this what Master Jiang meant, or is it my sister's arrangement? Jiang asked.
"It's the old lady in the family. I've never given birth. No matter how much my husband loves me, he can't always protect me. There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. If I can't have children like this, their Jiang family has every reason to divorce me. Jiang's face was full of sadness. I'm not afraid of my sister's jokes. I really can't bear to be a husband. Although I will be jealous of letting my husband take a concubine, but I think of being driven away by them and letting my husband completely abandon me, I can't even make a concubine, and the pain of taking a concubine is nothing. ”
"That's right." Jiang said: "I suddenly thought of something. How much do you know about the legend of my brother and sister? ”
"You mean to say......" Madame Chiang's eyes flashed. yes, why didn't I think of her? I heard that she once impregnated a woman who had not conceived for several years, and she was a twin. Then I'll go to him, will it ......?"
"I don't know if it's going to happen. She just got married. I didn't have much contact with her. I didn't see her in person. Jiang touched his flat stomach, and his eyes were a little dazed.
