Chapter 027: Opportunity is for those who are prepared
The second master took a total of four concubines, one of whom died in childbirth.
The mother of Duo'er mentioned earlier, she is the maid of the second wife, she is a maid in the room, and after she became pregnant, the second master accepted her as a concubine.
The second master also has a concubine, that is, the second master followed Emperor Fu Kang to fight with Emperor Huiwu's troops a few years ago, and Emperor Fu Kang rewarded a woman from the second master.
This concubine is the youngest, and now she is only in her early twenties, she is the most beautiful among the concubines of the second master, and she is the fourth concubine of the second master.
And this Aunt Wang was a maid bought by Sun Fu back then, and she was the third concubine of the second master.
Speaking of this maid, there are some stories.
She was fourteen years old when she was bought, and according to her, there was a famine in her hometown, and her grandfather died of starvation on the way to beg for food because he had nothing to eat.
She was too old to wander outside anymore, so her father made the decision, sent her to Sun's mansion, took twenty taels of silver and left.
Her deed of sale is a deed of death, that is, her family will not redeem her for life, she was born as a slave of the Sun family, and died as a ghost of the Sun family.
So when she was eighteen years old, the lord was in charge and asked the second master to accept her, so that she could inherit the Sun family.
Aunt Wang is the most honest one among the concubines of the second master, and she doesn't fight with anyone, unlike the youngest one, when the second master comes back, she always wants to occupy the second master.
The second wife is the one who is most disgusted with her.
But because she came from a big place, she was rewarded by Emperor Fukang for the second master.
The old man once quietly warned the second master not to tell her anything, she may be a pawn left by Emperor Fu Kang in the Sun Mansion.
Fortunately, the Sun family has no disloyalty to Emperor Fu Kang, and he has a clear conscience, which is more reassuring to the master.
Sister Hua suspected Aunt Wang, or because Aunt Wang's accent was very similar to the person that night.
Sister Hua once again doubted that someone would imitate Aunt Wang's accent, which was not surprising in the house.
Sister Hua is so thoughtful, that's because Sister Hua is not an ordinary maid, and there is a certain reason why the third wife likes her so much.
Sister Hua's maid career is coming to an end at this time.
Because at the end of the year, Uncle Zheng came back from Nandu, and according to the master's meaning, he wanted to give Sister Hua to Uncle Zheng as a concubine.
There is a girl in front of the grandmother, because the uncle is not at home all the year round.
The old man thought, Sister Hua is good, everyone says she is good.
Originally, if the third master did not die, then it should be logical for Sister Hua to become the concubine of the third master, but the third master died in the battle two years ago.
The old man thought, the third master is not there, so let Sister Hua give Sun Zheng as a concubine, in short, whoever Sister Hua gives it to is for the descendants of the Sun family.
Besides, a talent like Sister Hua is also rare, and she can help her grandmother manage this family when the time comes.
The old man's idea is good, if it was before, Sister Hua would be one hundred and twenty willing.
Sun Zheng was young, tall and strong.
But now it's different, now that Sister Hua knows Ma Ya's identity, Sister Hua doesn't want to be a member of the Sun family no matter what.
So when she learned that the master had this intention and asked the third wife to come to explore Sister Hua's tone, Sister Hua's brain was buzzing at that time.
Sister Hua felt that she couldn't be as careful as before, and she had to fight for herself.
You know, it's a matter of her life.
What if Emperor Huiwu wanted to make a comeback? What if Emperor Fu Kang found Ma Ya and raised her in the palace?
In any case, the Sun family's use of the princess as a maid is very disrespectful.
Even if the Sun family exonerates themselves by not knowing it, if Emperor Fu Kangdi wants to find trouble with the Sun family, it is still easy? What is the danger of adding to the sin?
Besides, if this matter is brought to the court and the ministers are known, then the Sun family is likely to be destroyed.
Deliberately or not, who can tell? I can't say clearly, according to Taizu's temper, it is already merciful not to break your grandson's family into pieces.
Think about how many heroes Taizu killed for Emperor Huiwu to sit firmly in the country? !
Sister Hua explained to the third lady like this, and Sister Hua was out of the way this time.
"Madam, I've been with you for more than ten years, and you trained me, so you are willing to let me leave you? For others?! β
This has been said to the bones.
The thoughts in the third wife's heart, Sister Hua is one degree.
Although the third master is gone, the third wife doesn't want to fight with the two wives, but if she really gives Sister Hua away, can the third wife be willing?
So Sister Hua's words were stabbed in the heart of the third wife.
The third lady wants to say anything to Sister Hua about being a family or something, there is no need for this, Sister Hua is her confidant, Sister Hua can tell her this, it is conceivable that Sister Hua is out of the way this time. The third lady understands this truth.
"Flowers, why don't I want to keep you by my side? But you know, the best place for you to go now is Zheng'er, since the master proposed it, how can I refuse? I'm thinking about you too! β
"If you want to refuse, you can naturally come up with a reason!" Sister Hua said: "I think the master also joked with me at the beginning, saying that he would promise me to the third master, but now that the third master is gone, he promised me to the young master Zhengda, madam, do you think, isn't this reason for refusal enough?!" β
"So what the hell do you think? You can't stay by my side for the rest of your life, and now that you're nineteen, it's time to go out, even if I keep you by my side for three or two years, you're going to get married after all! β
"Madam, I'm just married, I still want to be by your side when the time comes, you can give me an errand, I'll keep you steadfast!"
"Why am I?!"
Speaking of emotion, the master and servant also cried.
"Then over there, how can I get back?"
Sister Hua said: "Otherwise, isn't the bell in front of the old lady also bigger?" β
"There is another candidate for the bell, it is Ming'er in front of the eldest lady, this is given by the old lady."
"Then β’β’β’β’β’β’" Sister Hua was stunned, and then looked at the third wife.
"Talk, what else do you have to hide with me?"
Sister Hua looked at the third wife, and then said, "Or?" Isn't Xiaocui also due? Can you consider her?! β
"You meanβ’β’β’β’β’β’ "The third lady looked at Sister Hua.
"Xiao Cui went to the young master Zhengda, anyway, isn't she still your wife?"
"Hmm!" The third lady looked at Sister Hua and straightened her head.
"It's just, I wronged you!" The third wife said.
"Madam, what do I have to be wronged about? The third master is gone, and you are the one who is wronged. As far as I am concerned, you said that the third master had promised me, and if you tell the lord this, I won't believe it, and the lord will insist that I be a concubine for the young master Zhengda?! β
The third lady smiled, then scratched Sister Hua's nose and said, "If you really say that, who would dare to ask you?" Is she the one who dares to accept the third master? Not afraid of being poked in the back?! β
Sister Hua smiled.
So, the third lady passed over the old lady and told Sister Hua about the situation.
The old lady was silent.
The old man sighed and said, "If you don't say it, why should I ask you to probe her tone, since that's the case, then β’β’β’β’β’β’"
The old man looked at the old lady, and the old lady said: "Find a good one for her, pick among the boys in our house, let her choose, the dowry is out of our house, and if you give her the scenery, you can't be wronged by her!" β
That's it.
But when the young master Zhengda learned that he gave Xiaocui to her as a concubine, he was unhappy. He still likes Sister Hua, but the second wife told him: "Sister Hua is the person your third uncle wants, and now she is giving it to you, so do you want our Sun family to lose face?" Well? Besides, when your third uncle was alive, did you touch her. β
With this sentence, the young master had no choice but to let the second wife choose a good day, take Xiaocui over, and round the room that night.
Xiaocui is very grateful to Sister Hua, and the third wife told her that if it weren't for Sister Hua, I am afraid that such a good thing will not be her turn in this life.
Since then, Sister Hua has occupied a place in Xiaocui's heart, and she obeys Sister Hua's words.
