Chapter 65: Refusal to be a concubine
Hua Banxia excitedly called the name of Cheng Ming, the lord of the mansion, but the Chen family flowers frightened a few people, "You can't call the adult's name like that!" ”
Hua Banxia spread his hands, saying that this is not the point, the point is whether they heard it wrong!
Chen Jiahua had a trace of distress in her eyes, and opened her mouth to comfort Hua Banxia, "Banxia, I know that you have feelings for Cheng Gongzi, but this time, it is really not Cheng Gongzi who came to propose."
"No, no, no", Hua Banxia knew that Chen Jiahua had misunderstood, and she ran away not because it was not Cheng Ze who came to propose marriage, but because she couldn't imagine it, why did Ming suddenly come to join in this fun, it doesn't make sense!
"I don't have any feelings for Cheng Ze, and I don't want to marry him, I mean, Cheng Ming, how could Lord Cheng think of marrying me, and it's a concubine!"
Spending half a summer pace back and forth, what is the matter with Guan Chengming, I can say that I have no intersection with him at all!
"It won't be ......", Hua Banxia suddenly thought that when he went to Cheng's Mansion before, Cheng Ming always looked at her with a look of great appreciation, and once stared at her, wouldn't it be at that time.......
"I'll go!" Hua Banxia couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
"Where are you going?" Qiao Zheng and the others couldn't do anything, after all, that person was the lord of the government, and their little ordinary people, where did they dare to say anything.
"It's okay, I'll go to the city to ask about the situation tomorrow, don't worry", no matter how angry Hua Banxia is, he can't let Chen Jiahua worry about them.
......
On the second day, I couldn't sleep well because I slept in a tent, plus yesterday's incident, Hua Banxia didn't sleep all night, with two dark circles under his eyes, and went to the city to find Shangcheng Mansion angrily.
"Yo, the flower girl is here, I'll inform you of the young master", the little guy at the gate of Cheng's mansion knew Hua Banxia, and when he saw her coming over, he said hello to her, and turned around to go in to report.
Hua Banxia hurriedly stopped him, "Hey, wait, I'm not here to find your young master, I'm here to find your master, is he here?" ”
Hua Banxia came from the yamen just now, and knew that Cheng Ming was not in the yamen, so he came to Cheng's mansion, he shouldn't be there.
"In, in, I'm going to report to you", that little guy is a little strange, he spends half a summer on weekdays to find his young master, and he comes to find the master like this today? Something is wrong, I have to hurry up and tell the young master!
Hua Banxia came to the door several times, but fortunately, Cheng Ming is not the kind of official showman, and he does not refuse the arrival of ordinary people like her.
When she came to the main hall, Hua Banxia had already seen Cheng Ming and Mrs. Cheng sitting on their seats waiting, looking at Hua Banxia who walked in, the two of them also showed a loving smile.
"Ahem", Hua Banxia thought that this Mrs. Cheng would not have a good look at herself, but she didn't expect her to laugh, which made Hua Banxia a little confused.
Clearing his throat, Hua Banxia found a side position and sat down, "Lord Cheng, what is the so-called matter of the little girl coming today, presumably Lord Cheng already knows it in his heart, I want to ask, why?" ”
The two husband and wife sitting on the top seat, seeing that Hua Banxia was so anxious, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Mrs. Cheng Yu Yan said, "Miss Hua, I agree to the fact that our master wants to accept you as a concubine, so you don't have to worry about being wronged if you marry into our Cheng Mansion in the future."
Yu Yan looked at Hua Banxia with a smile and said, if it weren't for her trembling eyelashes betraying her, Hua Banxia almost thought that Yu Yan was really willing to agree to her man's concubine.
looked at Cheng Ming again, *Ming always looked at Hua Banxia with a very satisfied look, as if as long as he was satisfied, others would have to follow his ideas.
Hua Banxia lowered her head and smiled softly, "Lord Cheng, Mrs. Cheng, I didn't come today to confirm whether I was doing well after marrying into Cheng Mansion, but I would not agree to marry into Cheng Mansion at all."
The two of them, who were originally smiling, had different reactions when they heard Hua Banxia's words.
Yu Yan didn't want her husband to take a concubine, but Cheng Ming begged her for a long time and persuaded her for a long time when she took Hua Banxia as a concubine. The two of them originally respected each other, but Cheng Ming begged her for the first time for this matter, and she had to pretend to be generous and agreed.
But what Yu Yan didn't expect was that Hua Banxia was so backbone, a peasant girl, and she had been in Hua Manlou in the middle, no matter who she was, as long as she could marry into an official family as a concubine, it would be a great blessing, but Hua Banxia actually refused!
This rekindled hope in Yu Yan's heart, and she only hoped that this Hua Banxia could resist the temptation and resolutely reject his master.
But Cheng Ming was unhappy here, he thought that with his current status and family wealth, it was impossible for Hua Banxia to disagree. He even confidently began to prepare for the concubine, just waiting for the matchmaker to bring people back.
But now she came to the door in person and said that she didn't agree, why didn't she agree!
Cheng Ming lowered his face coldly, Hua Banxia's move was simply slapping him in the face, could it be that he was a dignified Nancheng Mansion lord, and he was not worthy of a little peasant girl!
Yu Yan felt the anger and embarrassment of Cheng Ming beside her, and looked at Hua Banxia again, she is also a person who does not admit defeat, if the two continue to stalemate like this, it will not be good for anyone.
"Hua girl, is there something in your family that does not allow it, can you tell us", Yu Yan was very smart and wanted to put the responsibility on Hua Banxia, and did not want her to refuse because of the reasons of the Cheng Mansion.
"Yes, I don't want to marry so early, and I don't want to marry someone else's concubine!" This is the truest idea of Hua Banxia.
"Presumptuous!" Cheng Ming slapped the table angrily, "Being able to marry this official as a concubine is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes, but you don't know how to refuse, who gave you the guts!" ”
Cheng Ming looked at Hua Banxia angrily, although he had not found any other women except for his wife over the years, when he was young, how many women chased him, what is this little village girl!
Hua Banxia was really speechless, she originally thought that why she was very good, and the idea that everyone in the world should revolve around him was only available to women, but she didn't expect Cheng Ming to have it.
Is he the lord of the government, how much property does the family have, how talented, what does it matter to her, she is not nothing, even if she doesn't, no one stipulates that she must marry him, neurotic!
"Master Cheng, you and I are in our twenties, and my father may not be as old as you. Moreover, we don't have much intersection except for Cheng Gongzi, I don't understand, why do you want to take me as a concubine? Hua Banxia asked bluntly.
But Cheng Ming understood this, she was beating around the bush and disgusting him for being old! However, although he doesn't have the young skin to attract women, he has power and money.
"If you marry into our Cheng Mansion, I will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing in this life, if you can give birth to a son to this official, then you will be even more noble", Cheng Ming raised his head slightly, squinted his eyes and said proudly.
He was also reminding Hua Banxia that although he was not young, he had rights and money, which was enough for an ordinary woman to take the initiative to climb into his bed.
"Hmph, give birth to a son", Hua Banxia said softly with disdain, she hates it the most! The most hated thing is a man who is self-righteous and treats women as a tool for venting and procreation.
"Master Cheng, if I give birth to a son, will he be able to inherit your official position or your family property?"
Hua Banxia asked deliberately, she knew that no matter what, the official position could not be inherited, as for the family property, how much family property can a child born to a concubine get?
When Yu Yan heard Hua Banxia ask, her heart tightened, could it be that Hua Banxia had been tempted by these things? Before he got married, he began to calculate the family property.
"You!" Cheng Ming didn't expect Hua Banxia to be so direct, and he dared to ask himself this kind of question in front of the main room, "If I give birth to a son in the future, I will naturally not treat you badly."
"Oh, that's it......" Hua Banxia deliberately lengthened her voice and nodded, "How many properties does Cheng Mansion have now, how many shops, how much fertile land is there, and how much will these things divide me."
At this time, Yu Yan and Cheng Ming were a little unhappy, and they began to calculate before they got married, as if they said that if she was not satisfied, they would not marry.
Originally, it was supposed to be Hua Banxia who was grateful to them, but now it is the other way around, but now they are begging Hua Banxia to marry in.
"Flower girl, what do you mean by that!" Yu Yan asked with a cold face.
Which junior dares to discuss how much family property he should take in front of the main room so openly, this is obviously not taking the main room in his eyes, and besides, the old man is still alive and well, so he can talk about this now.
Hua Banxia put away the jokes, just now she was just a little disgusting to them, and she really thought she wanted to marry Cheng Mansion.
"I mean, I'm not interested in Lord Cheng's rights and money, and I will also refuse Cheng's proposal, hoping that Lord Cheng will let the people girl", Hua Banxia deliberately bit the word "people's girl" heavily, reminding him that she was also a citizen of his southern city.
"Shut up! You are a little peasant girl, and you are a green girl. Lou prostitute, why do you dislike my Cheng Mansion! Cheng Ming still thought that Hua Banxia couldn't look down on him.
It's really enough, Hua Banxia rolled her eyes, "Master Cheng, you have a high position and a lot of wealth, what kind of woman do you want, why is it me!" ”
"You also know my current situation, I am a woman from a flower building, I have a divorced father at home, and a large group of poor relatives, I don't have time to think about this matter at all, and I don't want to get married!"
"Because of this, why don't you marry this official, this official can help you eliminate all these difficulties", Cheng Ming didn't understand even more, shouldn't you rely on a powerful man at this time?
"Let's put it this way, although I am a country woman, I have ideals and ambitions, and I don't want to rely on men for life like other women!" Hua Banxia really can't stand it, so I have to say it so clearly.
But Cheng Ming didn't listen to this at all, but made fun of her, "Hahaha, flower girl, you are still young, women should stay at home and teach their husbands and children, instead of showing up all day long, what ideals, what ambitions, that's what a man should think." ”
It's really different, Hua Banxia still wants to say something, but someone outside can't listen to it anymore, and walks in and angrily scolds his father.
