Generally, the maidservants of famous families, especially the big maids who wait beside the master, if they can be disciplined until the marriage age, some righteous and generous masters will generally get rid of her nationality, or allow others to marry on their own, or the master of the family is a good citizen who is rich in the family, and there are even a few who have the opportunity, and even marry into the official eunuch and merchant family, and they also enjoy the days of calling slaves and calling maids, raising their eyebrows; Even if it is one level worse, most of them can be equipped with a heavy steward, and they no longer worry about oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and clothes for the four seasons, which can be regarded as pampering.

One or two out of ten of them are favored by the housewife as aunts or preparatory aunts for their sons, such as Snow Goose.

For her, there is naturally no other choice - self-marriage must be unthinkable, once released, or the main family will directly match her to others, it cannot be a wealthy family, and others will not accept a woman who has lost her innocence as a wife, she can only be a domestic servant, because she can't rebel against the master and helplessly accept it, she will always think that the snow goose offended the master before being sent away, and she has bad luck in her heart, and she doesn't expect to get any practical benefits, which will make the snow goose "pampered", and most of them will be treated "in dire straits".

These maids can become first-class, although they are still slaves and maids on the surface, but the actual food and clothing are stronger than those small jasper, and they are also ten fingers that do not touch the spring water, how can they stand the roughness outside, so many people, once the personal maid in the master's yard makes a mistake, let alone hand it over to the human tooth to sell, even if it is sent to Zhuangzi, or simply cut the messenger and send it back to the private family to let the parents allow it, they can't stand the ridicule and hard work.

Not to mention a "quasi-aunt" like Snow Goose, once she is degraded, gossip may be able to drive her to a dead end.

Therefore, although Erniang's idea is good, it is not easy to realize, as soon as she said it, Yijing put forward the key, whether the snow goose herself is willing.

If she doesn't want to, as soon as she cries, Erniang is afraid that she will have to bear the name of "jealous and unvirtuous", Xue Yan is acquiesced by Mrs. Zhou in the past, she herself did not make a mistake, and it is only unfavorable to Erniang to publicize it.

"At first, I heard that there was such a person as a snow goose in the study in the front yard, so angry that the five organs were on fire and the heavenly spirit was smoking, regardless of the trouble, the maid was scared and trembling, and because Shiro and I had an awkward quarrel, living in the study and refused to go back to the house, the snow goose was too frightened to get close, closed the door and pretended to be sick for more than ten days, this time it was simply transferred back to the inner house, put it in the yard to wait, she was even more cautious, I looked, but where the tea is eaten, she is not a finger, let alone in front of me, that is, in front of the auspicious few wedding maids, I didn't dare to say more. ”

At this time, although the man is a concubine, but in most of the eunuch poetry and book homes, as long as the family style is decent, generally married for less than a year, or before the wife is not pregnant, will not mention the matter of concubines, a few Hanmen in order to marry a noble woman, and even set a clear family rules, marry a wife for seven years without children before allowing a concubine, although the Zhou family is not a cold family, but also belong to the family of the wang family, the family style is solemn, and the second mother is the noble daughter, although the snow goose has already obtained tacit permission, this year and a half will not give her a name, the second mother is so troublesome, Snow Goose probably also knows that the housemother is not easy to get along, and it is normal for her to be uneasy and trembling.

But based on this alone, it's really hard to say whether the snow goose is a proper person.

"I heard the eldest sister-in-law say that the snow goose is not a child of the family, and the maid bought outside used to wait in front of her mother-in-law, but because of her steadiness and cleverness, she was transferred to wait for Shiro, and then she grew her monthly money." Erniang said again: "Didn't the little aunt suggest that I see her character first, although I was impatient, I still talked to her...... She cried and told about her life, but she was really a poor person, she was abducted by a kidnapper at the age of five and came to Jinyang, and no one could tell where her home was, but she remembered that her parents died early, and there was an older brother on it...... The kidnapper sold her to Renyazi, but fortunately, she sold a family like the Zhou family, and she was taught by her grandmother, and she learned some rules from a young age. ”

Erniang took a sip of tea: "I saw her crying with pear blossoms and rain, and she became more and more pitiful, although she felt some sympathy in her heart, she felt that she was angry, and Shiro could pity this kind of person who was weak in appearance, but actually lonely...... I couldn't hold back for a while, and blurted out to ask her, I really can't tolerate a concubine, if she insists on staying in the Zhou family, it's best not to let me find anything wrong in the future, I have nothing to do if I follow the rules all my life, but let her think clearly, even if she gives birth to a concubine and a concubine in the future, and becomes an aunt, the children can't be taken care of by her, this is the rule of the wang family, the mother raises her children that is called virtuous, no one can find out why, if she contacts her children in private, I will send her away immediately. ”

Yijing was almost choked by tea: "Second sister, are you really so direct?" ”

"As soon as the words came out, I regretted it, afraid that she would say to go to Shiro." Erniang sighed: "How do I know that when she heard this, her tears were frightened, and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying that she didn't have such an idea, and what she hoped for was the grace of the master in the future, and the Xu family was a solid family, but she knew that her mother-in-law valued it back then, so she and Shiro ...... Then he said that he hoped that I would take pity on her loneliness and helplessness, give her a way out, get rid of her nationality, reward a few dozen taels of silver, maybe find an honest farmer with a poor family to shelter, not seeking wealth, as long as she does not harsh her, she can support herself, if there is such a person, she is willing to go out, and explained to Shiro that she is unwilling to be a concubine, and asks to go. ”

View: ......

frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "If she really wants to be like this, it's still simple, it's not suitable for a situation like her to be a slave of the Zhou family...... Although Snow Goose is no longer innocent, once she gets married, she can change her family background, and there may be someone who doesn't mind. ”

In this world, although there are those poor people who are not born greedy for money, but because their families are poor, they have no arable land for various reasons, and they have to rent the fields of rich families or sell their labor to make a living, coupled with some natural and man-made disasters, they are really not self-sufficient, and many even marry wives and have children is a luxury, perhaps for them, they do not care too much about women's chastity.

"What I want is to agree to Xue Yan, first let her inform Shiro of this will, and then I will find a way to find a suitable person for her, in fact, it is best to be a house slave, as long as I can do my duty and be willing, I can give grace to the two of them, get rid of slavery for them, and put hundreds of acres of land and a house for them to live in, which is not a disadvantage." Erniang humbly asked for advice: "Fifth sister thinks it can be returned?" ”

"The key is whether the brother-in-law is happy or not." Reminder of the beautiful scenery.

"I listened to the tone of the snow goose at the time, and I couldn't help it, so I mentioned it in front of Shiro first, but he didn't object, he just sighed that the twisted melon was not sweet, and he was a little melancholy." Erniang grinded her teeth: "I asked many times in one night, 'Snow Goose really said so', I didn't mention the previous threats, I answered twice, and then I didn't pay attention to him, but I saw him see Snow Goose later, there was some sadness in his eyes, I stared at it tightly for the past two days, and I didn't let them find to talk, if the fifth sister thought that this could be done, I went back and talked to Snow Goose, and asked her to explain to Shiro." ”

Yijing pondered for a while, thinking that the matter had come to this, if the snow goose was a treacherous girl, I was afraid that if I found an opportunity, I would go to the second brother-in-law to provoke, such a maid would not be tolerated, it was really better to try, if the snow goose was really asking to go - Erniang was not easy to get along with at first glance, and the snow goose had no other backers, but there was the entire Guogong Mansion behind Erniang, two sisters who married into the clan, as well as the princess grandmother and the aunt of the county lord. Those who know a little will know which path is smoother and beneficial.

"The second sister can give it a try, if the snow goose cries in front of her brother-in-law for this reason, you say that it is a test for her, and sure enough, she tries to instigate trouble...... It is best to be the Zhuangzi in your dowry, and you have bought some subordinates in the local area, maybe there is a suitable one, and the advantage is that you know the roots, so as not to push the snow geese into the wolf's den, and you can give them a family property in the land of abundance that can live and start a business, which is also a good destination. Yijing agreed.

Erniang seemed to be relieved, and the whole person was a little lighter, so when it came to another ballast, she didn't let Yijing hear that she was worried: "Compared with the placement of snow geese, what gives me more headaches is your brother-in-law's lazy temperament, and there are many fox friends and dog friends I have made, and I ask him out to spend all day drinking, whenever I persuade him, he only says that it is an elegant thing, and also said that those people are all children of the family, and they will have to enter the office in the future, and they have dealt with them well, but also for the future...... I don't understand these things, I just feel that my stomach is full of reason, but unfortunately I can't make sentences out of my mouth, and I feel that he is useless like that. ”

Speaking of which, Erniang lay on the kang table with half of her body: "The fifth sister can speak well, or you can persuade ......"

View: ......

This is the difficulty, she and Brother-in-law Zhou have never met a few times, and because of the difference between men and women, how can I persuade him to "change his evil and return to the right".

But looking at Erniang's eyes full of anticipation, thinking of her lifelong happiness, she couldn't say anything if she refused.

"This matter, or let me discuss it with the prince." Eventually, Yijing decided to leave the tricky matter to her family's cabinet scholars.

Erniang was immediately ecstatic: "I'll wait for your sentence." ”

View: ......

"How powerful the fifth brother-in-law is, even the saint obeys him, fooling your brother-in-law is not a hand-to-hand capture, and Shiro has admired the fifth brother-in-law, and is very in awe, not afraid of the fifth sister's jokes, many times he mentioned the fifth brother-in-law, I look at that look, but it is more colorful than talking about what 'green beads' and 'red whisks', and there is a long sigh." Erniang held her hands in her sleeves, imitating the demeanor of her brother-in-law Zhou: "It's a pity that it's a pity that such a talented and peerless person is a clan, so people dare not get close." ”

The beautiful appearance made Yijing shake her shoulders and forget the pit dug by her second sister for a while.

"Let's be happy, I was also happy to fall at the time, just said that he and the fifth brother-in-law are brothers-in-law, what can't be close, that there is no interest, but admit that he himself is only shallow, is he afraid that the fifth brother-in-law will look down on him, saying that he is lucky, or when the fifth brother-in-law was in the Guozijian office, he mixed in and listened to a lesson in countermeasures, and witnessed the fifth brother-in-law's tongue battle group Confucianism, so far he is respectful and afraid, never expected to become a brother-in-law with your family, this will still be like a dream, dare not believe it."

Erniang slapped the fart of the Fanyu Pavilion Department, and before parting, she also took Yijing's hand and asked Yinyin: "It's settled, I don't care what method the fifth brother-in-law uses, as long as he can let your second brother-in-law honestly break off relations with those gentlemen, and prepare for the exam in a down-to-earth manner, even if it changes its appearance, I will end up well in front of Weng Dad, if your second brother-in-law is really lucky enough to get a reputation in the exam, and he will be an official in a dignified manner, I can also be regarded as a hero of the Zhou family, he is such a prodigal...... Hmph, when I get the praise of the elders in the Zhou family and stand firm, I see that he is embarrassed to mention the matter of concubines again. ”

Yijing was confused and took such a matter about the future of Zhou's brother-in-law and Erniang's happiness for the Yu Pavilion Department, and sat for a while without coming back to his senses, who knew that he had just finished lunch, and before he could take a nap, Yichen, who was supposed to be recuperating at home, came to the palace in a hurry.
