Chapter 188: Concubines
Things have been busy in the past few days, and it was easy to be idle for a day, Ye Tanghua immediately remembered what she promised Ye Mu's family, in the past, Aunt Li was in charge of Ye Yuanzhi, and Ye Yuanzhi was not going out to mess with flowers and grass, but now Aunt Li is waiting for the verdict in the prison, and Ye Mu's family can't help Ye Yuanzhi's mind, so it's just a day or two after a day or two, and after a long time, Ye Yuanzhi will definitely have an outside heart......
Ye Tanghua has actually taken a fancy to someone since the day of the Shangyuan Festival, but at this time she is still unsure of her idea, after all, people can be regarded as pampered and grew up as a young lady, will she be willing to commit herself to being a concubine in the Ye family?
After all, you still have to fight for it, and it's not too late to think of other ideas if you don't succeed.
Ye Tanghua sighed and instructed Aunt Wenxi: "Go and invite Miss Xiu'er over." ”
After returning from the Shangyuan Festival, Lu Xiuer was arranged to a ** room in Ye Tanghua's courtyard, and she didn't have to live in Ye Tanghua's house anymore, Ye Tanghua was quite busy in the past two days, Lu Xiuer spent a few days in a leisurely manner, and her heart was relaxed and a little nervous at the same time, according to Ye Tanghua's busyness, can you take care of helping the Lu family? After so many days, she gradually knew the affairs that Ye Tanghua could meddle in and the relationship with her family, and she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, even if Ye Tanghua could help her, how much could she help?
Just when Lu Xiu'er was worried, Ye Tanghua sent someone to call her, Lu Xiu'er's mood at this time was no less than that of the concubine who had fallen out of favor and was turned over with a green card, so she hurriedly cleaned up and went to Liushuang Pavilion, and as soon as she entered the door, she smiled and said goodbye: "Xiu'er has seen the eldest lady." ”
"It's only been a few days since I saw her, and Miss Xiu'er has made trouble with me with these false courtesies? Don't you think I've been too busy to be at home these days and have snubbed the girl? Ye Tanghua smiled and waved her hand at the person who served, "Let's go down." ”
Baihe Wenxi led the people down, Ye Tanghua pulled Lu Xiu'er to the bed in the inner room and sat together, and asked her with a smile: "Miss Xiu'er, how old are you this year?" ”
"Seventeen, almost eighteen." Lu Xiuer was vaguely aware of what Ye Tanghua wanted to say, and she was a little nervous and a little expectant.
"Can you decide on someone?"
Lu Xiu'er blushed and smiled helplessly: "No...... The girl also knows that the status of our family is not high or low, and the matchmaker has broken the threshold, but she always can't say that she can't do it, the high status looks down on the Lu family, and the low status of the Lu family looks down on the ......"
Ye Tanghua was happy in her heart, and smiled a little embarrassed, this kind of thing made her a girl who had not left the cabinet, it was really a little difficult for her, and after a few hesitations, Ye Tanghua came closer: "What kind of family will you marry in the future, has Miss Lu thought about it?" ”
Lu Xiu'er's face turned a little red, and she lowered her head with a snort: "I don't think about it, it's just a good person, if you can, it's best to help the Lu family a little, Miss also knows that the Lu family is not short of silver now, but I just don't want to be this beggar anymore." ”
Ye Tanghua nodded, pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "In this case, I have an idea, but I'm afraid that Miss Xiu'er you don't want to." ”
Lu Xiu'er was overjoyed: "The girl just has to say, it's good to discuss whether it works or not." ”
Ye Tanghua hesitated for a moment and smiled: "Miss Xiu'er feels ...... What about my dad? ”
"Huh?" Lu Xiu'er was stunned when she heard it, she heard it right, right? The person that Miss Ye is talking about is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the current dynasty, the head of the Ye family, Master Ye?
The daughter of the grandmother is looking for a little wife for her father? How can there be such a reason?!
She hesitated for a long time, and suddenly realized, could this be Ye Tanghua's temptation for Ye Mu's family? Ye Mushi had doubted her that day, if Ye Mushi refused to rest assured, it would be unknown if Ye Tanghua would come and knock on the side......
Therefore, Lu Xiu'er hurriedly waved her hand and said with a smile: "Miss is still joking with Xiu'er, how dare Xiu'er think about the master?" Xiu'er is now working in the Ye family, and Mrs. and Miss are very good to Xiu'er, if Xiu'er still has such a mind, wouldn't she be ungrateful? ”
Ye Tanghua smiled slightly, and waved her hand: "You don't have to worry too much, I really mean this, you have seen the situation of the Ye family, there was Aunt Li before, and the head of the family was barely a unitary, and now that Aunt Li is gone, it is inevitable that the mother is a little unlikely, and with the means of the mother, I can't keep my father's thoughts, I see that my father seems to have some thoughts about you that day, so I have to say this, looking at the behavior of the Xiu'er girl, I think it should also be for the Ye family, so it's not good to take what you need...... Naturally, this is just my words, if Miss Xiu'er doesn't want to, then I'll just say a joke. ”
Lu Xiu'er was stunned for a while, and really calculated in her heart, she has also seen one or two sides of this Ye family's master, although she was born not a jade tree in the wind, but also elegant and steady, the white face and slight beard are quite a bit of scholarly temperament, and the age is not very large, more than thirty and forty are insufficient, and now the official position is high, he is a second-class member of the court, the family is simple, there is a housewife on the top, and he is also very good, although the children are a lot, but the concubine is easy to get along with, and the concubine is not a climate, the two sons go to school outside, and they only go home during the New Year's holidays......
Thinking about it this way, it would not be bad if she could be a concubine in the Ye family, but I was afraid that Ye Mu's heart would be too much, and I was afraid that Ye Yuanzhi would not help, so Lu Xiuer hesitated.
Ye Tanghua saw that Lu Xiu'er's mind was active, so she hit the railway while it was hot: "Actually, what Miss Xiu'er wants is just to let the Lu family stop being this beggar, this is also a very easy thing, I will now send someone to the Lu family to take over the work of this beggar, first let the Lu family take it out of the beggar's pile, and the rest will be easy to do, as soon as my father speaks, I will get a small errand for Ling Zun or Uncle Lu to be a first-class product, and it will be taken out...... In fact, I can do this without some strength, but it is not as convenient as my father's help, I really value the wisdom of the Xiu'er girl, so I have the cheekiness to ask such a sentence, if the girl is willing, the mother can arrange it immediately, if the girl is unwilling, I will try my best to arrange the affairs of the Lu family......"
Lu Xiu'er's face turned red, she stood up and said in a low voice: "Thanks to the kindness of the girl, the Lu family is grateful, but such a lifelong event, Xiu'er does not dare to make decisions without permission, I want to take a day off today, go home and discuss it with my family, I wonder if the girl may agree?" ”
Ye Tanghua saw that Lu Xiu'er's heart was moved, so she naturally responded, and at the same time asked people to prepare some cloth as a reward, Lu Xiu'er thanked them one by one and went out.
Ye Tanghua sat on the bed and was stunned for a moment, bowing her head and playing with the tassels on her clothes, a little happy and a little sullen in her heart, and she was speechless for a while.
Yuqiu had already finished her errands and came back at this time, and as soon as she entered the inner room, she saw Ye Tanghua's sullen appearance, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
Ye Tanghua said in a sullen voice: "I told Miss Xiu'er about it, it seems that she is a little moved, and she just went out to go home and ask her family what she meant." ”
"Isn't that what the girl expected? It's a good thing, why is the girl so sullen? Yuqiu blinked, a little puzzled.
Seeing Lu Xiu'er leaving, Wen Xibaihe and Chunshui outside also walked in in twos and threes, and gathered around Ye Tanghua to listen to orders.
Ye Tanghua sighed, a little irritable in her heart, she raised her eyes to look at Yuqiu: "If you want to control a man's heart, do you have to rely on this way?" ”
Yuqiu reflected for a while before she thought that Ye Tanghua said that this way was to take a concubine, and couldn't help laughing: "Man, three wives and four concubines are ordinary, where can I control it?" ”
Qingyan also smiled and said: "Isn't the emperor in the palace also three palaces and six courtyards, but I haven't heard of any lady who relies on the draft to fix her favor, and when there are more people, the emperor's mind will be divided." In my opinion, any concubine is false, and the most important thing is to be clever. ”
Wen Xi burst out laughing: "These two girls don't know how to pretend to understand at first glance, what they say is really nonsense, where is this the case?" ”
Ye Tanghua blinked and looked at Wen Xi: "Why did my aunt say that?" ”
Wen Xi smiled: "Dare to ask the county lord, do you know "The Evil"? ”
Ye Tanghua nodded calmly.
"Then dare to ask the county lord, is there any such thing as taking a concubine in "The Evil"? Did the woman ever sigh, 'My concubine and I both want to know each other and live a long life'? ”
Ye Tanghua pursed her lips and smiled: "How can there be such a thing." ”
"That's exactly the case," Wen Xi said with a smile, "From ancient times to the present, there have been more poems about love, such as "Pujia" and "Guan Ju" in ancient times, "Shijiang" and "Morning Glory" in Han, "Long Hate" in Tang, "Xuanji" in Song, and the ancients: poets, where ambition is. In the heart for the ambition, the speech for the poem. It can be seen that the poem is a work of affection, the county lord is well-read and well-read, and he should have read these famous articles, dare to ask the county lord, where the unforgettable feelings can be tolerated by the third person! ”
Ye Tanghua was stunned, and Baihe continued: "That's it, the county lord only says that taking a concubine can lock a man's heart, but he doesn't know that he can lock his feelings, love can lock his love, if a man loves a woman, he only thinks of her and thinks of her, that is, there are thousands of beautiful women around, and he is also disdainful, and so is the heart of a woman, if the two are really in love, where is the room for others to intervene!" ”
Ye Tanghua listened, and realized: "In this way, if there is no affection between husband and wife, then the wife needs to rely on means such as concubines to win her husband's heart, but if the husband and wife are in love, they don't need to move those thoughts?" ”
Wen Xi nodded: "As the saying goes, compare the heart to the heart." Since the man doesn't want his wife Hongxing to go out of the wall, he should understand that the woman doesn't love her husband and messes with flowers outside, if she really loves each other, how can she be willing to make the other party sad? ”
Ye Tanghua was persuaded by Wen Xi, and her heart felt much better, she used to only be a woman and only rely on concubines to win the hearts of men, but now it seems that she still takes it for granted. She secretly swore in her heart that if she was lucky enough to be supported by her sweetheart in the future, she would not allow someone to stir up trouble between two people, and it was a matter of two people, so why should she rely on a third person to maintain it?
