Chapter 88 Shu Qingci's strategy

"The ancestors must have known that although my Shu family has been a prime minister for three generations, although it has become an imperial merchant now, it is as rich as before in these days, but it is just ...... Alas! I don't know what Shu did, annoyed God, I am now half a hundred years old, but I just failed to produce a man. ”

He sighed again and again, he had been thinking about this man for many days, and he deliberately recruited his second aunt to sleep with him every night, but for a few days, the woman had no sign of being pregnant, and he was already so anxious that his heart was already burning with fire.

When the Taoist priest heard what he said, he wiped his chin and pondered for a moment, and then said faintly: "The poor Taoist saw that the old man's face was bright, but there seemed to be a dark cloud on this forehead, so he said more."

"Did the ancestors have a solution?" When Master Shu heard what this Taoist priest said, he was even more impressed.

"There is a way, but ......" The Taoist priest wanted to speak and stopped, he squinted his eyes slightly, stared at Master Shu for a long time, and then said again: "If the master wants to have a son, it can only be before the end of this year, after the end of the year, the black cloud covers the entire forehead, and I am afraid that the matter of this heir will no longer be possible."

Master Shu looked at the Taoist priest, and quickly thought in his heart, now that it is autumn, there are still a few months before the end of the year, this is good news, but if you can't get it before the end of the year, then the Shu family will not be broken.

His face was panicked again, and he asked: "If the immortal has nothing to do before the end of the year, then, won't I have no children in this life?"

"Don't worry, the poor road has already been calculated, before the end of the year, if the master handles it properly, he will be able to get a son."

The Taoist priest said leisurely, but his smooth eyes were full of calculation.

Master Shu was stunned for a moment, and then his face was overjoyed.

"Thank you to the ancestors, you were clumsy before you go down, and you hope that the ancestors are not strange." Master Shu's face showed a hint of joy, it was joy from the heart, he had been looking forward to it for many years, and finally got a sentence.

"The immortals are so helpful, I am grateful for it, that place is the house below, and I hope that the immortals will not dislike it and go to sit for a while, and there will be heavy thanks here."

"No need, the poor road travels in all directions, you can't stay for a long time, today's things, just do good deeds and say goodbye."

"This ......"

Master Shu originally planned to give this Taoist priest some silver taels, but the person hurriedly said a few words, turned around and left, he looked at the back of the Taoist priest and felt that the real masters might be so disregarded for money.

He didn't chase after him anymore, turned around and returned to Shu's house.

"Sir? Why are you back again? ”

The second aunt had just finished breakfast, and she was wiping her hands with a handkerchief, and when she looked up, she saw Master Shu coming in from the door.

She asked in surprise, and then noticed that Master Shu's expression seemed to be much happier than when she went out.

"Master, but what great joy has you encountered?"

Master Shu glanced at her, raised his feet and sat down at the table, "Happy event? It was indeed a great event, and just now I met a wandering immortal at the door, and he pointed me out that as long as I handle it properly before the end of the year, I will be able to have an heir. ”

After listening to this, the second aunt's heart suddenly twitched, how did she handle it properly? What does it mean to handle it properly? She has also seen several doctors in the past few days, but even if she takes the decoction, she can't give birth to a child in her belly.

If the lord wants to give birth to a son at the end of the year, wouldn't it be ......

Take a concubine!

As soon as these two words appeared in the second aunt's mind, her face changed and changed.

When she first entered the house, but it was not easy to survive until the eldest lady died, and now the lord is rare to treat her better.

No, you must not let the old man take a concubine.

The second aunt pulled her red lips and smiled extremely unnaturally, but even so, she still looked at Master Shu with a smile, and said in a complaining tone: "How can the matter of asking for an heir be counted by others, this kind of thing has to be done by ourselves."

She smiled shyly, and leaned towards Master Shu.

Although Master Keshu was happy at this time, his face changed after listening to the words of the second aunt, and then he reprimanded: "In the end, I have to blame you for this matter, if your belly was a little angry in the early years, I don't have to be so old and don't have a helper, forget it, if this matter is according to the will of the immortals, I am afraid that I can't put all my hopes on you, so I am afraid that it will be delayed."

After Master Shu finished speaking, his brows furrowed into pimples, he pondered for a moment, and then interrupted the words that the second aunt was about to say, and said first: "It seems that our Shu family still has to accept another concubine, what do you think about this?"

He raised his head, his brow furrowed, and his eyes were even deeper.

The second aunt was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "Since the master wants to take a concubine, the concubine should listen to the master, and I will send someone to Zhang Luo to see which one is suitable."

Her red lips were lightly raised, and her smile was generous and decent, but her heart was full of hatred.

Which concubine is enough, I don't have to ask her what she means, she has been a housekeeper for many years, she doesn't know what Master Shu means, if she shows a trace of reluctance to come, I am afraid that I will be sad in the future in this Shu family.

Therefore, even if she gritted her teeth, she had to pretend to be virtuous and decent.

Sure enough, Master Shu's face instantly softened a lot when he heard her say this, "Since you think so too, then I'll leave this matter to you first." ”

"Yes, sir."

In the afternoon of the same day, the news that Master Shu was going to marry another room spread throughout the Shu family, Ye Hanyue was thinking about Huangfu Xiu sending someone to buy her paintings, and after listening to Dong'er's chatter, she immediately came back to her senses.

"What do you say? The lord wants to marry again? ”

If she remembers correctly, there was only one second aunt in the concubine room she set for Master Shu when she wrote the article? Why is there another one?

It's hard to be biased again.

"Sister Xiaoyue, I guess you don't know about this, when I went to the front yard to pick up something, I heard that the people in the front yard were talking about it, and ......" Dong'er pursed her lips and glanced at Shu Qingci's room, although she saw that the carved door was tightly closed, she still quieted her voice and said: "Sister Xiaoyue, you said that this thing is not strange, the master wants to marry the third aunt, but the second aunt took the initiative to take this matter, shouldn't the second aunt be unwilling?"

Dong'er is still young, so she doesn't understand this, but Ye Hanyue is several years older than Dong'er in modern times, and the novels she wrote in the past often have to figure out the psychology of these characters, and the second aunt took the initiative to recruit the third aunt, thinking that it was to please Master Shu.

She understands this, but she wonders why Master Shu thought of marrying another aunt when he is so good?

Although the second aunt has never come out, even if Master Shu wants to ask for a son, he has never mentioned it, this is ......

A light suddenly flashed in Ye Hanyue's mind, she looked back at the closed door behind her, and her willow eyebrows immediately furrowed.

If she remembers correctly, the only thing that can remind Master Shu of having no successor recently is that night when she had dinner with the Shu family, Shu Qingci's body suddenly became tired, and she also mentioned that the Shu family had no men.

She heard some of it that night, but she only thought it was Shu Qingci's filial piety, and she felt sorry for Master Shu, but now it seems that what she said that day was not so simple.

Frowning slightly, Ye Hanyue lowered her eyes and thought about it for a while, feeling that she still couldn't ask Shu Qingci directly about this matter, she was already a suspicious person, and her mind was much heavier than others, and she ......

After the last time she imitated handwriting, she sometimes felt that Shu Qingci was guarding her again.

Although this feeling is not very obvious, she is not willing to take any more risks, lest Shu Qingci fill in her dissatisfaction with her.

She was dissatisfied with her small matter, which would hinder her marriage with Hou Haoyan.

After all the entanglement, Ye Hanyue finally chose to pretend to have the same attitude as the people in the house.

In the evening, Master Shu considered that the matter of taking a concubine was a big deal, since the family was going to increase the population, it was natural to inform everyone in the Shu family, so when the night meal, he specially sent a housekeeper to call all the female relatives in the backyard of the Shu family to the front hall.

When Ye Hanyue talked to Shu Qingci about this, she asked with a shocked face: "Is this true?"

There was shock in her tone, but if the listener looked closer, they would have detected the joy hidden in her tone.

It's a pity that she covered it up too quickly, Ye Hanyue didn't notice this, she looked at her shock, and suddenly felt that her guess in the day was probably wrong.

"Miss, is the master still waiting for you in the front hall? Since the master has acquiesced to the second aunt to handle the matter of taking a concubine, it is better for the young lady to bear with it. ”

Ye Hanyue didn't know what Shu Qingci thought, but for the sake of Shu Qingci's future status in the Shu family, she still crossed the maid's authority and told the temporary little master.

Shu Qingci raised her eyes and looked at her deeply for a while, and got up and walked out of Qinglan Pavilion without saying anything, but her face didn't look as painful as everyone guessed.

As soon as Shu Qingci entered the front hall, everyone in the front hall looked at her.

Ye Hanyue peeked at it, then quickly lowered her eyes, and only listened to the person beside her bowing softly.

"Daddy, second aunt."

"Qing porcelain is here, hurry, just wait for you to come before we move the chopsticks, hurry up and sit on my father's side."

It is rare for Master Shu to be so enthusiastic, as soon as Ye Hanyue heard his words, the corners of her lowered mouth hooked a touch of mockery.

At the beginning, Shu Qingci's mother died of illness, and Master Shu was sad and vowed not to marry again, but today, it is not the same to find a reason to marry again.

If a man is truly in love with a woman, even if the person he loves has been ossified into ashes, this vow of love should be immortalized.

Ye Hanyue stood behind Shu Qingci, listening to the high-sounding reasons that Master Shu said to Shu Qingci about marrying his aunt again, and unconsciously thought in her mind, if she couldn't go back to modern times, the person who married her in the future would treat her like this?

She glanced at Shu Qingci in front of her with some sympathy, and strengthened her heart to go back.
