Chapter 11 The Survival Rules of the Concubine (Recommended 100 Plus Update)
Ah Xing nodded and said, "Yes, it's to please Mrs., sister, you think, your master is so busy with business, and the time to stay at home is very small." β
Hearing this, Li Yin interjected and said, "Yes, I heard from other aunts that if you go out of the city to do business, you often can't come back for a month." β
"If that's the case, most of the time in the family is the master, the lady is the master, if you can please Mrs. Yu, although there will not be as much as the lord gives you, but your life share Mrs. will not embarrass you, and your future children and wives will also have better arrangements, and without too much favor from the master, you will not become a thorn in the side of other aunts, you can live the stable life you want, isn't it great?"
Li Yin nodded thoughtfully, and then asked his sister with a questioning expression: "But how can I please Madame?" β
Ah Xing lowered her voice and said, "First of all, you must be respectful to your wife, every day is absolutely indispensable, and you must be sincere." Don't dress more than others, try to be dignified, it doesn't matter if you can't let the lord like it, as long as the lady looks pleasing to the eye. The most important point is that if the master comes to your house too often, you can pretend to be sick and ask him to go to the lady or other aunts, and you must often talk about the benefits of the lady in front of the master, how she treats you well, and how she will run the house...... "Since you are a concubine, you must abide by the rules of life of the concubine, otherwise once you meet a strong housewife, some will suffer." There are also concubines who kill their wives, but generally speaking, it is because the main wife's character is relatively weak, or she is weak and sickly, otherwise in the case of the main wife being in charge, how can the concubine room ride on the head of the main wife!
Hearing this, Li Yin asked puzzledly: "I said good things about Madame in front of the master, will Madame know?" Will the lord tell her? β
Ah Xing glanced out the window, smiled, and whispered to Li Yin: "Naturally, someone will tell Madame, you don't have to worry!" β
Li Yin followed her gaze and looked out the window, then showed a sudden look, and exclaimed, "You mean, there is a lady in my courtyard?" Then he said, "That's right, Madame naturally wants to keep us all under her nose, I'm afraid that every aunt will have someone with Madame." β
Ah Xing smiled and said: "It's good to have her people, so that she will believe in your loyalty more." You don't have to pay attention to who is the lady's eyeliner, you just have to live your stable life! β
Li Yin looked at Ah Xing, as if she had seen her for the first time, and then she asked suspiciously: "Ah Xing, how can you know so much, since you have been ill, you seem to have changed as a person, and you are not as talkative as before, and now you can still say so many truths......
Seeing that Li Yin was suspicious, Ah Xing's heart sank, but then she regained her composure and said seriously: "Sister, for my illness, you made a concubine, and my father broke his leg, can I still live like before?" I'm not young anymore, and now I just want to take good care of my dad and want my sister to live a better life. As for these truths, they all listened to those three aunts and six mothers-in-law when they chatted, haven't you heard it too, sister? You're still saying they're lying! Ah Xing pretended to be aggrieved and said softly: "Sister, don't you suspect that I am possessed by some monster!" He lowered his head as he spoke, looking like he was about to cry.
When Li Yin heard her say this, how could she have any doubts, so she hurriedly hugged her sister and said: "A-Xing, don't be sad, my little sister is so good, how can she be possessed by those evil things, Sister Ah didn't think so, Sister Ah just felt a little strange!" She let go of Ah Xing, sighed and said, "But what those three aunts and six mothers-in-law said is really right, this mansion is really not a place to live." You're right, if I really want to live here in peace, I won't be able to get too much favor from my lord. The reason why those aunts say this about me today must be because the lord has stayed in my room these days, because I am too naΓ―ve and think things too simply! She held her sister's hand, "A-Xing, in this world, only you and your father are really good to me." Oh yes, I almost forgot ......"
Li Yin seemed to suddenly remember something, let go of Ah Xing's hand, turned around and searched in the carved cabinet for a while, and after a while, he took out a small satin cloth bag. She happily pulled her sister to sit down at the table, then opened the cloth bag and smiled to let Ah Xing see the contents.
As soon as the cloth bag was opened, I saw several small silver ingots, which shimmered faintly in the daylight. Li Yin said: "These are my monthly silver this month, a total of six taels of silver, I eat and drink well here, I don't need to spend money, you can take it back, I will have it every month in the future, you come over every month to get it, and you don't need to ask your father to work, this money is enough for you to live well." You save up the rest and make your dowry! She carefully wrapped the satin cloth bag, and then pushed it all in front of A-Xing.
Ah Xing looked at the cloth bag in front of her, and didn't know if she should sigh that her life was good, whether it was her past life or present life, she was a life that she didn't work for. It's just that in her previous life, she paid a terrible price for this unearned gain, she lost the freedom to fall in love, lost the freedom to marry, and she had to give up a lot of things, so that she was in pain later, and there was no hope of survival at all. In this life, does she still have to live this kind of unearned life?
Even if they are like sisters, if one party is completely dependent on the other to live, sooner or later this intimate relationship will deteriorate. Her fate will be invisibly in the hands of Li Yin, she depends on Li Yin for everything, can she not listen to Li Yin when she gets married in the future?
No, in this life, she can't repeat the mistakes of her previous life, in this life, she has to take her fate firmly in her own hands.
The first thing to do is not to rely on anyone to live!
Ah Xing didn't make a sound, just quietly pushed the cloth bag in front of her back to Li Yin.
Li Yin looked at her puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Ah Xing looked at Li Yin and said softly: "Sister, you should keep this money for yourself, you have a lot of places to use money here." Rewarding people, as well as giving gifts to everyone during the New Year's holidays, and even, who do you want to help you run errands and do something, all of them need to use silver, and you give it all to me, so what should you do? β
Li Yin frowned: "It turns out that there are so many places to use money, I really didn't expect it, I only thought about you and my father......"
A Xing's heart was moved, Li Yin is definitely a good daughter and sister, no matter what, she will try her best not to let her sister be hurt in any way!
Li Yin opened the cloth bag again and took out half of the silver, "Then I'll keep half of it, and you can take the other half." β
Ah Xing stopped her and said, "Sister, don't worry about us anymore, as soon as spring begins, as soon as Daddy's injury is healed, I will go and buy a carriage for Daddy, we can solicit customers in the city, and we will live well." You are already a member of the Hu family, and you use the Hu family's silver to supplement your mother's family, and if you are known, you don't know what kind of punishment you will receive! β
Li Yin thought of the eyeliner of his wife beside him, and couldn't help but be scared and hesitated. Ah Xing took the opportunity to say: "Sister, if you can't use up this silver, you can save it, maybe there will be other uses in the future!" β
Li Yin heard her sister say this, so she had no choice but to nod.
Ah Xing looked at the sky outside the window, then stood up and said, "It's not early, Daddy must be anxious to know your news at home, so I'll go back first." β
Li Yin also stood up and instructed the girl to pack the ginseng chicken and let Ah Xing take it back for her father to eat. Then he asked the girl named Xiaohuan before to send A-Xing out of the house.
Li Yin said to the girl Xiaohuan, "You take my sister to the garden." Then he turned back to Ah Xing and smiled and said, "Now the plum blossoms in the garden are blooming just right, when you pass by, take a look by the way!" β
