In winter, the snow was sent to a small courtyard by the subordinates of the city lord's mansion, the small courtyard is not big, but it is also quite exquisite, the main house is arranged into a happy room, clothed with red candles and red silk, and the bed is a brand new bedding.

The little maid who brought her in said, "The girl will sit here for a while, and the lord will talk to the guests in the front yard, and he will come to see you later." Because you are the daughter of the prefect of Dongqin, the government still attaches great importance to this family matter, and also arranges a chapel. You have to know gratitude, because not everyone can afford to worship the church, this is the treatment that only the lady of the main room has, and the concubine is not qualified to worship with the master, which can be regarded as giving you the face of the Dongqin people. ”

Winter Snow pouted with disdain, of course, no one could see it, because he was covered with a hijab.

Kang Xuewen definitely couldn't enter the backyard, he just entered through the side door, and then went around and sent back to the front hall.

Winter Snow was brought into the house, so she sat on the bed and waited, and before she could wait a while, there was a sound of footsteps at the door. The maid beside him said: "The slave and maid go and take a look, maybe the master is coming." ”

Winter Snow shook her head secretly, it was not the lord, it was the footsteps of a woman.

Sure enough, when the door opened, a woman's voice came to speak: "I came to see the bride, I heard that it is from Dongqin, this girl from Dongqin is not fresh to marry, but it is still the first one to marry into our city lord's mansion!" It is said that he still wants to worship the church, but it is really a big face, just a concubine, what kind of church? Where does this put the face of the eldest lady? ”

The voice was getting closer, apparently walking in as it spoke. The little maid who went to open the door before followed closely and said, "Aunt Xia, why are you here?" The matter of the worship hall was decided by the lord and the eldest lady, and the slave and maid did not know what was going on. Aunt Xia should go back, this is a new house, according to the rules, you shouldn't come, if you go back and be known by the lord and the eldest lady, you will be told about it. ”

"If you don't say it, I won't say it, and my maid won't say it, who else knows that I've been here?" Aunt Xia rolled her eyes and snorted coldly.

There is a saying among the folk of Gebu that on the day the newlyweds enter the house, whether they are wives or concubines, the original women of the lord in the house cannot come to see them, which is said to be unlucky, and will rush the feelings between the lord and the newcomer.

But this Aunt Xia couldn't help it, she couldn't wait to rush the relationship between the city lord and this new concubine! After all, in the past, she was the most favored one in this mansion, and now there is a newcomer, and she is still the daughter of such a young prefect of Dongqin, who knows if the old man will be fresh for a while, so he will stay here. People are afraid of getting close, and once they get close, they will talk a little bit of rhetoric, and it is too easy to snatch the heart of a man who is not attentive in the first place.

Aunt Xia stroked her cheeks, she was already twenty-five years old, she was originally young and beautiful in this mansion, but if she was compared with this teenage Dongqin girl, she would be old. If you are old, you will not be favored, and if you are not favored in this house, you will not even be as good as your subordinates. She couldn't let herself get into that situation.

The maid who took care of the winter snow didn't squeak anymore, and she didn't think that this Dongqin girl would share much favor from the master! The people of Dongqin are unreliable, maybe the old man will turn back to find Aunt Xia after a few days, so she doesn't need to offend.

"Let me see, what a beautiful flower it is, so that the master can remember you from Dongqin to Gebu." Aunt Xia took two more steps forward, reaching out to remove the hijab from the winter snow. As a result, as soon as his hand touched the hijab, before he could make a move, he heard the door slam open, and another person broke in.

The little maid glanced at the visitor, and took the initiative to greet again: "Aunt Fang is good." ”

Winter Snow almost didn't hold back a laugh, okay, another one. There are really a lot of women in this city lord's mansion, and there are even more who can't hold back. Women are really sad, as soon as they get married, they can only revolve around men, and what worries them the most all day is who men fall in love with, and who they marry and who they accept. It's sad that the fate of a lifetime is tied to a man.

She was thinking that this time she was married in the appearance of Kang Xuewen's daughter, not a marriage, if she also married in the future...... No, she doesn't get married, she definitely doesn't. Winter Snow warned himself over and over again: never get married in this life, never be a man's accessory, and never let your life be like this, nervous to death for a man.

"Hey, what about you, do you hear that? What do you think? Someone pushed her, and the snow was as steady as Mount Tai in winter.

The person who pushed her was obviously stunned, and said casually: "Is this sticky on the couch, sitting quite steadily." ”

This is the Aunt Xia who came first, and after finishing speaking, she reached out to lift the hijab of the winter snow, but was stopped by Aunt Fang later: "Sister Xia, this is not appropriate, the bride's hijab has to be lifted by the master, what is the matter with you lifting it now?" Could it be that this person still has to carry you into the house, and you will keep it in the future? ”

Aunt Xia saw that someone dared to stop her, so she was so angry that her face sank, "Sister Fang, it's my business whether I lift it or not, what does it have to do with you?" Didn't you come here to see what the bride looked like? Oh no, it shouldn't be called a bride, but it's just a humble concubine, where is it worthy of the title of bride. ”

"Yo, don't say it so ugly, we're also concubines!" Aunt Fang reminded her, "What you know is that you are scolding the bride, and those who don't know think you are scolding yourself, why should you scold yourself if this person is not crazy or scolding?" Aunt Fang pinched her handkerchief and smiled, "Sister Xia, they all say that you are a smart person, but how can a smart person do foolish things?" Everyone has come into the house, and the lord and the eldest lady have also arranged a chapel, so calling the bride is to save face for the lord, is it possible that you are here to make a fuss, just to slap the face of the lord and the eldest lady? Are you tired of being crooked? ”

Aunt Xia was so choked that she couldn't speak, and she had to retract the hand that was going to lift her hijab. But he was still unwilling, and said sourly: "It's just a Dongqin person, and the Dongqin people are all inferior people, isn't that prefect also groveling when he enters our mansion?" Why does Sister Fang care about a new concubine like this? How could the master spoil the Dongqin people, but it's not a few days of freshness, and when the freshness passes, what should have happened before, it will still be the same. She said this and straightened up, this is to remind Aunt Fang that in the past, it was her Xia family who was the most favored, and now Aunt Fang did everything possible to hinder her from embarrassing her new concubine, but she couldn't get along with her Xia family.

But Aunt Fang was obviously not afraid of her, and she still had a mocking tone: "Once upon a time, now is now, the freshness of the master is still uncertain, and if you don't keep it, you can't get by." In that case, what was favored in the past will forever become a thing of the past, and according to what I know about the master, he will not look back. So, people, you have to leave a way back for yourself in everything you do, even if the freshness of the master will pass soon, but can you guarantee that in the past few days, this new sister will not fall into the well and stab you? As long as she says a word at the master's pillow, you're done. ”

Aunt Xia's momentum was extinguished, and she knew that what Aunt Fang said was right. No one can guarantee that the master will not be tempted by this little girl, even if it is only for one day, as long as the little girl seizes this day, she can be easily killed. The most important thing in the City Lord's Mansion is women, and before her, any woman here has been favored.

The maid who came with her tugged at her sleeve and dragged her away. Aunt Xia was still unwilling, and glared at Dongxue viciously, but unfortunately they couldn't see it at all because they were covered with handkerchiefs.

Aunt Fang didn't leave, she said to the maid who was waiting for the winter snow: "I'll say a few words to this new sister, and tell a few words, you go outside and keep guard, don't let anyone in." The lord also opened the Lobai Hall, which shows that he attaches great importance to this sister, and we can't let her be wronged. Go ahead, I'll come out with a few words. ”

The maid thought for a while, nodded, and left the house with the people brought by Aunt Fang.

Finally, there were only two people left in the house, Dongxue and Aunt Fang, Aunt Fang pulled Dongxue's sleeve and whispered to her: "Sister, I know you are reluctant, I was the same as you at the beginning." But what's the solution? If we get married, we can't get out if we want to, and even if we go out, my mother's family will no longer want us, and no man will dare to take us in. That's it in this life, if you come in, you have to accept your fate, and you have to live your life, do you think that's the reason? ”

Dongxue was a little interested, so he asked her, "You are a Gobu person, how can you be reluctant?" ”

Aunt Fang laughed, "What about the Gebu people?" It has nothing to do with whether or not they are Gobu people. He is an official, we are the people, and the people cannot fight with the officials, this is the law of the ages. The city lord takes a fancy to the girl of the people's family, which is almost no different from Ming robbery, and it has nothing to do with which country it is. Before intermarrying with your Dongqin, Gebu didn't live his life behind closed doors, and he didn't rob the women in his own city. ”

Dongxue nodded, "That's what I said, it has nothing to do with Dongqin or Gebu." So how did you get robbed? ”

"Me?" Aunt Fang smiled bitterly, "That year, I went to burn incense to make a vow, and when I came back, I saw that there were tiger lamps selling on the side of the road, so I wanted to buy one for my little brother at home." As a result, when I picked up the lamp, I was seen by the city lord, and I took a fancy to it, and the next day he rushed to my house, injured my father and mother, and snatched me back to the city lord's mansion. ”

Aunt Fang sighed when she said this, and then waved her hand, "That's it, it's all in the past, and if you come here, you will be safe, and I don't want to think about it all the time." I'm here today to tell you something, this matter is very important, it is related to your safety and life in this mansion, you must ...... in your heart."
