89. Concubines

The liveliness of Kohei-in lasted for a long time.

Mrs. Tai gave an order and asked the big kitchen to clean up the meals. At lunchtime, a bunch of female dependents ate lively.

If not, this is a happy event for the Dingguo Mansion, and they are not good at arrogance as future in-laws, so they can't say that they will have to hold a celebratory banquet.

At night, Rong Shoufu, who returned to the main room from the study, saw that only the old wife, the master, was in the house, so he waved his hand and sent everyone out.

Madame's personal grandmother knew that they had something important, and hurried to stand guard by the pillar under the main porch—so that she could not hear what was being said in the house, but could also see the movement in the courtyard.

"Is there anything the old lady has to say?"

Mrs. Tai saw Rong Shoufu's appearance of sending his subordinates, personally gave him a wide coat, handed him warm tea and asked.

"Dingbian Hou has sealed the Duke of Guo, and the prince of Dingbian Hou is the prince of Guogong. At the beginning, we decided on this family affair, which was originally Gao Pan, and now everyone is staring at this family affair. So, arrange for a concubine to marry. ”

Rong Shoufu pondered for a long time before he slowly spoke.

"But, but, how uncomfortable is this big girl? It's good to arrange for her to marry a younger sister together. This is not a dowry maid who sells her body in her hand. Besides, is it necessary? It's just a prince of the country. Our house is also the first auxiliary mansion of the first product, and the boss is also the third product. Even if you marry the prince, don't you all arrange for someone to marry? ”

Mrs. Tai said hesitantly.

The eldest lady is a concubine, and she has always been cultivated according to the noble lady of the high family.

But she is a woman after all, and she has married and brought a younger sister as a dowry.

can't be beaten, can't be sold, and even if she is treated harshly, some people will say that she can't tolerate her blood relatives.

That's one thing.

In addition, the Dingguo Mansion is just a national mansion.

Those who marry the county king, the prince, and the prince don't all arrange to marry?

Besides, their Shoufu Mansion is not an ordinary family, but they are all people with real power.

Although the boss's squire is equivalent to Shangshu's deputy, his power is not so great, and he is also a serious third-grade official.

Where do you have to arrange for someone to marry?

"As a woman of the Rong family, she has raised them for so long, and it is right to make some contributions to the family. They have all gone to women's schools, and female teachers have also taught these truths of both glory and loss, what is unacceptable? ”

Rong Shoufu said impatiently.

For the sake of big things, such small sacrifices are nothing.

The woman can only be confined to the back house.

However, when he thought of his plan, he patiently told his wife about these reasons.

"Do you know what the title of Dingguo Gong means? The saints boasted that the Duke of the Kingdom was a stable country, so he gave him the title of 'Ding'. Besides, there are some princes, princes, compared with the Duke of Dingguo, that is, the name is good, where is the real power? Even if the holy brother, Prince Rui, didn't he just receive an idle position to manage the affairs of the clan? It depends on the real power in your hands. Today, who can control an army of hundreds of thousands and win the trust of the emperor? This Dingguo Gong is one of them. Arranging a concubine is still a serious lady in our house, which shows that we attach importance to this family business. Besides, I'm still thinking about being knighted. When the time comes, it is natural to need the help of a noble like Dingguo Gong, who is favored by the emperor. If you tell the eldest daughter-in-law and the eldest girl, they will understand. ”

It is naturally extremely difficult for this Dajing Dynasty to be knighted with Wen, but it is not unprecedented.

If he is a minister in the future, the emperor will reward him for his hard work for the court in this life, plus there are other nobles to help him speak, it is impossible to say that it is really possible.

In addition to the royal family, the nobles of the Dajing Dynasty only had three levels of titles: Guogong, Marquis, and Bo.

Even if it's the lowest position, it's a superb.

There are ups and downs in this court, and no one dares to say that it will stand tall.

However, if you are a noble, even if your official position is removed, there is always a title that can save the façade.

People, be prepared for danger in times of peace.

"Yes, old man."

Mrs. Tai is a typical scholarly traditional woman.

It is a model of unmarried and obedient to his father, and he has never disobeyed Rong Shoufu in major matters.

Therefore, although Rong Shoufu also has a concubine room, he does not have children, which can be regarded as a very face-saving face.

Rong Shoufu asked her to treat her grandson well, and she was very obedient and very good to her grandson.

Rong Shoufu asked her not to snub the concubine, she was also very obedient, and she would follow the rules for her granddaughter and grandson, and she would not be too harsh and streamlined.

Scholarly family, noble family.

It's not just fame, it's money. It's really tiring to maintain this big stall of eating and drinking.

But she still pressed her eldest daughter-in-law and asked her to follow the basic configuration and portions as required.

Of course, for the eldest daughter-in-law who can deduct it, she just opens one eye and closes one eye. As long as the general situation is passable, the face of the Rong Mansion is well maintained.

"As for the candidate, you can decide with the eldest daughter-in-law. However, the three girls don't have to decide. She looks so good, don't waste her looks, and look back at the royal family or other honors. When the time comes, it will be better for the Rong Mansion to have one more in-law with real power. ”

Rong Shoufu said one more word about the candidate.

After finishing speaking, he hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Usually the marriage is with the wife. But.... ”

Rong Shoufu pondered for a moment before continuing: "However, in order to avoid being too eye-catching, let's carry the concubine over again in the evening for a year and a half." ”

As soon as this in-law gained power, he immediately married in his own house, which was too eye-catching, and it seemed that his family was eager for quick success.

Or quietly send a concubine over later. As long as the Dingguo Mansion knows the importance of its own family, it is enough to avoid others pointing fingers at it.

After finishing speaking, Rong Shoufu lay down to rest, indicating that the topic was over.

And after Mrs. Tai lay down, she did not rest immediately.

Mrs. Tai still has a deep affection for her eldest granddaughter who often undertakes her knees.

After the eldest lady and Aunt Zhao gave birth to two young ladies that year, Mrs. Tai happened to marry her daughter back to her hometown in Shuzhou.

For a while, her knees were empty, and Mrs. Tai was naturally in a bad mood, so she had the idea of hugging her granddaughter.

The eldest lady has been fighting with Aunt Zhao, and after she knew Mrs. Tai's thoughts, she reluctantly sent her eldest daughter to Mrs. Tai's yard to raise.

The eldest lady has been raised in Mrs. Tai's yard until the opening of the hospital, and even her enlightenment was done by Mrs. Tai.

Even after the opening of the hospital, the eldest lady often went to Mrs. Tai's place in the morning and dusk, never stopping.

Therefore, the relationship between the two grandparents and grandchildren is extraordinary.

Thinking of the grievances that her granddaughter was about to suffer, how could Mrs. Tai sleep peacefully?

The next day, when everyone asked for peace, they saw Mrs. Tai, who was in poor spirits because she couldn't sleep at night.

She sent everyone away, leaving only the eldest lady and the eldest lady. sent all his subordinates to the courtyard, leaving only his henchmen and grandmothers at the door, so as not to be heard of Rong Shunhua's gaffe.
