Chapter 45: Aunt Min
Concubinage is different from marrying a wife, which has a formal and complex series of procedures and matters, just using a small red sedan chair to carry it into the door, and after kneeling down and serving tea to the eldest wife, this concubine ceremony is completed!
Even the whole process doesn't need to be seen by a man! As long as the eldest lady agrees, she can accept as many concubines as she wants! But if the eldest lady does not agree, the man can only marry another room outside - the name is not right, and the heir is not recognized.
Xinna's aunt is Mrs. Chun's half-sister, and she is also one of the cousins of Chunjiang couple, and it is also a complicated relationship!
Although he was very angry about the concubine, Cousin Chunjiang always had to take care of the face of his relatives, so he finally appeared at the ceremony of taking concubines.
Only Mrs. Chun in the small moon was left alone in the empty room.
Min Min - Although Aunt Min was also born in a Zhuang family, she was obviously more beautiful and delicate than his other Zhuang women, and when she saw this, Chunjiang's cousin's black pot-like face softened slightly.
And Chunjiang's daughter-in-law's expression was like swallowing a fly, she thought that the new Aunt Min was at most Mrs. Chun's appearance, but she didn't expect another big trouble!
……
After a groggy night's sleep, Yiqing was woken up by the scent of the morning made of bunting.
After a few days of running around and working outside, and today is the hour when the sun rises high, Yiqing hurriedly jumped out of bed, wiped her face indiscriminately, put on her clothes and ran to the small kitchen.
But seeing Mrs. Chun sitting in the small courtyard of Qingfeng Residence, she politely said this to Yilan, and when she saw the main owner of Qingfeng Residence, Yiqing coming out, Mrs. Chun hurriedly stood up, turned sideways and said slightly: "Sister Yiqing, you are early!" ”
Yiqing hurriedly said: "Oops! Don't stand, sit down! Sit down and talk", before Yiqing finished speaking, she hurriedly went over to support the crumbling Mrs. Chun and comforted: "Women, you still have to feel more sorry for yourself!" You've got to take care of yourself! ”
Mrs. Chun's tears welled up all of a sudden, and Yilan hurriedly comforted: "Don't you dare to cry, crying in the confinement will break your body!" ”
Yiqing hurriedly answered: "Yes, sister-in-law Chunni, don't you dare to cry!" Saying that Yiqing used to only call her Mrs. Chun, but after changing her name this time, she became much more intimate, and said: "Crying can't solve the problem, my cousin is the husband of three women after all, you have to accept this fact, he is also sad without the child......"
"He's not sad!" Mrs. Chun rubbed her handkerchief and retorted in a nasal voice: "That Min Min is prettier than me!" ”
Yiqing was stunned for a moment, and reacted, isn't it?! The two sisters work together as a husband and are still half-sisters! So he quickly explained: "Is it useful to be pretty?" Big lady ugly, right? Then my cousin is reluctant to divorce her! This shows that my cousin is a long-term person, and he will definitely treat you generously in the future! ”
Mrs. Chun snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for the eldest wife, my sister Chunxing wouldn't have been able to escape from the palm of my stepmother!" The lord is generous, he is generous to the eldest wife, but he killed my sister! ”
The two sisters couldn't answer it, so they silently listened to Mrs. Chun's complaints.
Mrs. Chun continued: "I really hate that government, the loan sharks are all forced to die, why is the eldest lady still alive and well!" …… How could she send my sister home with a single word? Why did you kill my first child......
“…… I just hate her, and I hate the lord even more, knowing that the eldest lady is a master who does things according to her good mood, so why give her so much power? Why do you want her to continue to be a housewife who can decide the life and death of others?! ”
Yi Qing interjected: "Is it really you about usury?" ”
Yiqing had long suspected that the loan shark was the news released by Mrs. Chun, and Chunjiang's cousin also suspected it and asked Bin'er about something, and Chunjiang's daughter-in-law should know a little bit about it. But the usury matter was finally over, and it must have been Cousin Chunjiang who wanted to settle the matter, so he suppressed all the reasons.
"It's all so clear, sister, don't pretend to be stupid!" Mrs. Chun said unceremoniously: "I don't have anything to do, and I won't have children, and I'm not afraid that the master will know, if he wants to kill me, come here!" ”
"I'm afraid the master has known for a long time, he has asked Bin'er, do you think Bin'er is a person who keeps secrets?" Yi Qing said lightly.
Mrs. Chun was stunned: "How come? Then why didn't the old man pursue anything? ”
"I don't know ......why," Yiqing replied, "He didn't pursue it when you were pregnant, and now that you don't have children, he doesn't pursue it, in short, you remember that the master is a person who is also generous to you!" ”
"Yes!" Yilan answered: "If nothing else, you also have to think about Sister Chunxing!" You live well, your stepmother won't dare to send Chunxing away! ”
Mrs. Chun finally calmed down, seriously considered the conversation just now, and then withdrew to leave: "Thank you sisters for mentioning it, Chunni is grateful!" ”
Yiqing finally took the porridge that had already been cold, drank it in a big gulp, and said, "Oh, I've been persuaded for a long time, but I'm starving to death!" ”
Yi Lan asked curiously, "You...... Aren't you going to help her? So pitiful! ”
"Poor everyone! If I help her this time, who will I help next time? Mrs. Chun is so smart, you can rest assured! She came over today just to talk to someone, and we are the only ones who can figure it out......," Yiqing explained.
……
After breakfast, Sister Yiqing was about to visit the new Aunt Min.
It stands to reason that the aunt is a subordinate who waits for the master to sleep in the house, and her identity is not as good as the two Yiqing sisters; But if you come by generation, Aunt Min is the cousin of the two.
Running on the principle that more is better than less, the two decided that it would be better to meet in person.
Cousin Chunjiang sat in the main hall with a ruddy complexion, and his refreshed appearance swept away the malaise of many days, and at a glance, he knew that he had a very pleasant life last night.
Standing next to Chunjiang's cousin is the new Aunt Min: sixteen or seventeen years old, tall, plump figure, palm-sized melon seed face shining with two grape-like eyes, long eyelashes upturned, cherry mouth seems to be closed, there is a trace of charm in it! The only fly in the ointment is that the nose is a little high, and she must be a high-minded girl.
Although she is a beauty, where can she compare to Yilan's stunning beauty! Yiqing thought to herself.
"Peace to Cousin Chunjiang! Ask Aunt Min's Ann! The two sisters simply bowed.
Cousin Chunjiang beckoned the two to sit down.
"Let my cousins laugh! As soon as you go out, I'll have more aunts than I ......" Cousin Chunjiang smiled awkwardly, but there was no more helpless action at the beginning.
"Chunni's sister-in-law just lost her child, cousin, you are right to be happy like this!" Yiqing said with relief, but she didn't realize that Aunt Min was unhappy when she heard the word "Chongxi".
As soon as the child was mentioned, Chunjiang's cousin was always sentimental and said, "Yes, Chunni is quite pitiful...... If you have nothing to do with Chunni, she is thoughtful and cranky...... Minmin, you spend as much time with her, she's still your sister. ”
"Yes, sir." Aunt Min's cheeks were crimson, and she replied softly, and Cousin Chunjiang, who was watching, couldn't help but gently pinch Aunt Min's face.
Everyone was embarrassed.
Cousin Chunjiang coughed, and said: "The eldest lady is not well, Qingshan's injury has not yet recovered, Mrs. Chun is sitting in Xiaoyuezi again, the affairs of Zhang's mansion are still managed by the housekeeper, Minmin, you are free to learn management with the housekeeper." ”
Is this about handing over the financial power? But why can't I turn my aunt who just entered the door?!
When the old man gave Mrs. Chun two shops before, he was counted down by the eldest lady, why does the old man want to give his entire financial power to an aunt with a lower status today?! And the eldest lady doesn't even show her face?!
The housekeeper has a lot of opinions, and the aunt's housekeeper - if this matter is spread, it will be laughed to death by people with status in the capital, but as soon as he saw Aunt Min's smug face, the housekeeper responded, and then said: "Master, I still have something to ask for, take advantage of today, you can agree to it!" "Ruomei was rewarded by the eldest lady after all, even if it is sent to Yiqing now, it is better to get the consent of the master!
Yiqing reacted and said: "Cousin, it's Ruomei girl, how inappropriate it is to put it in the residence of two big men with an unjustified name!" ”
"Yes, thank you Miss Yiqing for your kindness, where is Miss Ruomei going - I also have a headache!" The housekeeper and Yiqing asked and answered.
Yiqing and the housekeeper had already made an appointment, and just as they wanted to answer the word about Qingfeng Ju, Aunt Min interjected: "Why don't you come to me?" I still lack a little girl to call! ”
"Then what's the matter, if you're not a subordinate, you don't care about it...... Yilan, you are more meticulous than your sister, if you put your eyebrows there, wait for the right opportunity to send her out! Chunjiang's cousin said, seeing that the housekeeper was unwilling to be Ruomei's daughter-in-law, he no longer mentioned the matter of buying and selling good books.
"Yes!" Yi Lan replied.
Only then did Aunt Min notice the immortal figure Yilan in Zhang's mansion, and it was difficult to hide the jealous look in her eyes.
"This sister is so beautiful! But the Yilan cousin in everyone's mouth?! Our famous goddess doctor in the capital?! Aunt Min said deliberately, she knew that there were beautiful women in the house, but she didn't expect it to be so stunning!
"Auntie praised! My sister Yiqing is the miracle doctor! Yi Lan didn't dare to be improper, and replied politely, pressing his head low.
Cousin Chunjiang looked at Yilan with a little regret, and her lonely expression was clearly seen by Aunt Min, and said, "Yiqing is the little girl who just spoke." ”
Aunt Min looked at Yilan's face and Yiqing's face towel, lowered her head and stopped talking.
Cousin Chunjiang then said: "Cousin Yilan is about to take the ceremony, and now there is no one available at home, Minmin, you have to handle it well, if you don't understand anything, you can ask the eldest lady and the housekeeper, and when it comes to the ceremony, the eldest lady only needs to preside over it." ”
