Aunt Fang's voice was lowered: "Sister, whether the master spoils you or not, you must pay attention to the eldest lady." The eldest lady can tolerate us, but she can't accommodate our children. It's okay if you don't have children, but once you have children, not only will the children not survive, but you will also have to die with them. You don't know when you first arrive, there are many women in this house, but there are not many children, most of the children are stillborn, barely able to give birth, and they will die mysteriously before the age of five. ”

"It's all done by the eldest lady?" Dongxue frowned when she heard this, "It's just the city lord, and it's not a hereditary title, is the eldest lady like this?" Is it for property? The lord of the city is rich? ”

Aunt Fang nodded, "The lord of a city, of course, is rich, and you may not know, our Gebu is different from your Dongqin, I heard that only the throne of Dongqin can be hereditary, but in Gebu, as long as the lord of a city does not make a big mistake during his tenure and is not replaced halfway, then the next city lord is very likely to be his son." Therefore, the doctor strictly guarded and did not let the concubine give birth to a child. Of course, if it is a daughter, it doesn't matter, she doesn't care how many young ladies there are in the house. ”

Winter Xue nodded, I understand, this song cloth is really different from Dong Qin, and the position of the city lord can also be hereditary, no wonder the eldest lady attaches so much importance to how many boys are born in the mansion. But these have nothing to do with her, she is just here to go through the motions, whether it is the city lord or the city lord's wife, whoever dares to come to her to show off her might, she will never be polite.

"Girl, do you understand what I told you?" Aunt Fang was a little anxious, "I'm also kind, I heard that you were forced to marry, so I thought of my original situation, so I specially rushed over to squeak with you." ”

Winter Snow was a little curious, "You've been in the house for many years, haven't you?" Did you also hurt the child by the eldest lady? ”

Aunt Fang shook her head, "No, I don't even have the life to conceive a child." As soon as the wedding night passed, the old man had just left, and the eldest lady sent someone to bring a bowl of soup and medicine, saying that it was for the body, and the woman had to drink such a bowl after accepting the favor, which was good for the body. I was young at the time, so I didn't know how to know this, and I thought it was really for nourishing the body, so I drank it. Who wanted to drink it before he knew that it was not a medicine for the body at all, but a bowl of safflower. After drinking that bowl of safflower, I will never get pregnant in my life. ”

She smiled, "It doesn't matter if you don't have children, who wants to give birth to that old man!" But sister, I don't know what you think, if you think the same as me, then she can drink whatever she gives, and she will suffer a few days at most, and in the days to come, you don't have to worry about the eldest lady to calculate you. A woman who can't have children won't calculate, and she'll be nice to you. But if you want to have a child and want to compete with her, then you must guard against her tricks, whether it is tomorrow morning or tonight, whoever gives you nothing will not drink, don't drink the water in this house, and endure thirst. When the day came, he went to the well and scooped water to drink. You must be mentally prepared, this prevention is not a matter of one or two days, but a lifetime of prevention. ”

Aunt Fang is gone, and the snow in winter is also afraid. This is really unguardable, if it weren't for Aunt Fang's words, she would really be able to drink the water in this house. After all, whoever sits here for a day will be thirsty, and it is normal to drink saliva.

Although I don't know if this aunt's words are true or false, this kind of thing is rather credible than not, and it's always good to be more guarded. Even if she doesn't plan to get married, she doesn't want to drink a bowl of saffron for no reason, and she will suffer!

Winter Xue sat on the couch pondering these things, and the little maid outside came in, and I don't know if it was a coincidence or what, and the first thing she asked when she came in was: "Is the girl thirsty?" Would you like to drink some water? Now I can still call you a girl, and when I worship the church, I should call you aunt. Tea and snacks are available in the house, so if you are thirsty and hungry, you can have a good stomach. ”

Winter Snow twitched the corners of her mouth and shook her head, "Not thirsty." ”

The maid laughed dryly, "Did you listen to what Aunt Fang said?" In fact, the girl doesn't have to go to her heart, Aunt Fang has a problem with her brain, and she always feels that someone wants to harm her, but in fact it is not like that, it is all her own imagination. ”

"Oh, it's imaginary." Dongxue asked the maid, "Then tell me, how many young masters and young ladies are there in this mansion?" ”

"Young master, young lady...... Twelve young ladies. The maid couldn't talk about it anymore.

Winter Xue laughed, "The two young masters are from the eldest lady, right?" ”

The maid nodded, "That's right, but you don't want to be crooked, girl, it's the aunts behind who are not blessed." ”

"Well, it's not blessed." In winter, the corners of the snow hook lips no longer squeak, and the water must not be drinkable, although it is expected that even if she drinks, her master can cure her, but why suffer from that sin? It also delays business.

In the front hall, the city lord Pi Wanmin was pulling Tian Kailang to greet him. He had seen Lin Hansheng in the Kyoto Imperial Palace before, and he thought that he had some friendship, so he seemed very warm. Originally, Tian Kailang was supposed to sit in the guest seat below, but Pi Wanmin insisted on pulling him to the top to sit down, so Tian Kailang did not shirk and sat down with him.

Below, Bai Jinghong's position is also in the first place, the small table on the side is full of all kinds of refreshments and fruits, Pi Wanmin will turn his head and say a few words to Bai Jinghong in the interval between talking to Tian Kailang, very enthusiastic.

Kang Xuewen also sat next to Bai Jinghong, and in the middle was the small table full of refreshments, and he wanted to reach out to get it several times, but he was reminded by the subordinates of the City Lord's Mansion that he was not worthy of it.

Kang Xuewen was very depressed, but he didn't dare to say anything, and still accompanied his smiling face. However, the smiling face at this time was a little sincere, because he knew that Tian Kailang's Gu had already descended to Pi Wanmin, and it wouldn't be long before this Pi Wanmin became a person in the same Gu as him and Wei Jingtong, and it was no longer the same temperament as before, but what Tian Kailang said he believed in, and he would do whatever Tian Kailang asked him to do. He was looking forward to a new way of life soon in the city of flowers.

There are a lot of people in the city lord's mansion, shuttling back and forth, sending tea for a while, and snacks for a while. The butler also came in once, and reminded Pi Wanmin that the time was almost there, and the eldest lady had already set up the house, and it was time to prepare for the worship.

It is said that this is today's heavenly matter, but now, when Pi Wanmin heard the housekeeper talk about worship, he didn't feel much, and suddenly a feeling of guilt arose in his heart. He couldn't tell where this emotion came from, but it suddenly surged up, and it made him feel uncomfortable.

He looked at Kang Xuewen, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was sorry for this person, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Lord Kang, I'm really sorry, it was all the fault of the city lord before, and he actually wanted to occupy your daughter." Alas, I'm older than you, and your daughter is almost ready to be my granddaughter, right? I'm ...... Alas, ashamed, ashamed! ”

Kang Xuewen smiled even more, this time it was a sincere smile, and the laughter was called a pleasure, and it was a pleasure.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Pi Wanmin and said, "What do you mean by this City Lord?" Before, he sent people to my house every once in a while, saying that he would marry my youngest daughter. Now that I've sent everyone to you, and they're all sitting in your house in wedding clothes, why, don't you want it again? So what are we coming all this way for? ”

Pi Wanmin looked guilty, "It was the city lord who didn't think about it before, really, Lord Kang, don't be angry, it's all my fault, I will definitely apologize to Miss Kang." Alas, I don't know why I did such a foolish thing before, but now that I think about it, it's a shame to kill my old face. I can't live with you, Lord Kang, and even more so with Miss Kang, so let's do it, the hall hasn't worshiped yet, this marriage doesn't count, I'll call someone to tell Miss Kang, let her change her clothes, and change her wedding clothes. ”

"And what about my daughter's reputation?" Kang Xuewen snorted, "Now that everyone outside knows that I married my daughter to you, even if I go back now, the child's reputation will be ruined, how do you say this is good?" ”

"This ......" Pi Wanmin looked embarrassed, "or what do you say you should do, as long as you say it, I will do it." ”

Kang Xuewen nodded, this is a line that was right before, just recite it now: "That's it, I don't embarrass you, I'll take the child back, and you will declare it to the outside world when you turn around, saying that you don't want to marry her, but recognize her as a godgranddaughter, so you can have an explanation when you go back." Of course, in addition to this, there is a little compensation, as for how much this compensation should be made, the city lord himself decides. ”

Pi Wanmin fully accepted this, "It's good to be a granddaughter, it's good to be a granddaughter, Miss Kang will be the godgranddaughter of the city lord in the future, and the city lord will definitely give a big gift to the godgranddaughter when she turns around." As for compensation...... Do you think this will work, five million taels of silver, and I will compensate you five million taels of silver, what do you think? ”

Kang Xuewen took a deep breath, and only said that the city lord of this Gebu is really rich, and he casually gave five million taels of silver, which is not a small amount, even if it is placed in his Ningzhou Mansion, he doesn't dare to say who will be five million taels of silver casually!

So Kang Xuewen nodded, "Okay, it's five million taels of silver, I want cash, you prepare, and we'll load the car and pull it away when we return." Oh yes, five million taels is not a small amount, you have to load several cars, you can also prepare the cars! ”

Pi Wanmin responded repeatedly, "The car has it, the car has it." "Thinking about it again, he said, "There is also a gift to Miss Kang, there is a wealth tree in my house, which is made of jade branches, the leaves on it are gold, and the fruits are all kinds of precious stones. The tree is more than half a person tall, and it is a new treasure at the time of the Chinese New Year. Just give it to Miss Kang! ”

Kang Xuewen nodded again, expressing satisfaction.

It's just that this series of operations made the people in the house dumbfounded, and the New Year's Return that came with them was even more shocked......
