Chapter 148: Customs
Inside the martial arts hall.
Dozens of people on the martial arts arena stared at the woman in unison.
The woman's heart jumped, her breathing was short, her voice was trembling, and her expression was panicked.
But in a moment, the senior brothers and senior sisters were about to explode their scalps, their expressions were solemn, they looked at each other, and hurriedly asked, "How did she get in?" ”
"Who's looking at the gate today?"
With the buzzing noise, the woman's face suddenly changed.
Mu Qingyun was helpless in his heart, in fact, he could see at a glance that this person was shouting these words loudly at this moment and place, more or less deliberately.
She just wanted to force Mu Qingyun to agree to her conditions in the martial arts hall and in public.
This careful thinking is simply on the surface, she simply said it clearly, afraid that she would be retaliated against if she looked for Mu Qingyun in private, so she simply came clearly.
The only miscalculation is that she probably doesn't know about the Cloud City Martial Arts Hall, nor does she know Mu Qingyun and her senior brothers and sisters.
If Mu Qingyun really has an ulterior secret and a deep hatred with her, then what she is doing now is equivalent to going directly to the enemy's base camp.
There was no need for Mu Qingyun to make a move, everyone present was already very nervous at this time, and if they didn't see it well, they would definitely nip the danger in the bud as soon as possible.
Mu Qingyun couldn't help but sigh.
She vowed never to write those love scripts again.
She wrote a little more bloody plot, and then went to the bathtub to suffocate herself.
Seeing that the woman's face was white, and she took several steps back, Mu Qingyun coughed and slowed down her voice: "Don't worry, speak slowly, senior sister, take a stool." ”
As she spoke, she got up and walked out slowly, and signaled everyone not to be stunned, how to practice and how to practice, and by the way, she invited the woman to sit down in the small courtyard.
Mu Qingyun asked people to take a charcoal basin to keep warm, and said with a smile: "You are in a special situation now, so I won't invite you to eat and drink tea." ”
"Relax, excuse me, what's Madame's name?"
The woman was stunned, she didn't seem to expect Mu Qingyun to be so kind, her face turned red, and she smiled bitterly: "Don't dare to be, my name is Wang Mingzhu, I am the concubine of the Qi family in the north of the city, the second son of Qi." ”
There was a faint unwillingness on her face, and she was a little resigned.
"Mingzhu knows his identity and accepts his fate, but the ants are still stealing, let alone people?"
Mu Qingyun hurriedly interrupted her: "Is the Qi family?" I don't know the Qi family. ”
Chen Yi was even more silent, and muttered quietly: "What kind of mess is this." ”
She had just joked with Qingqing in private, and said something private that could not be heard by outsiders, and this person came to the door in such a frightening manner, which made her panic.
Chen Yi squinted at Wang Mingzhu, and some martial arts such as mind control flashed in his mind.
It's just that when it comes to mind control, those martial arts are very evil, and it's not easy to practice, and she won't either.
Thinking about it again, it doesn't take martial arts to control a person, and there are many ways to make a person shut up and not talk nonsense.
Just a weak woman, afraid of what she will do!
Chen Yi, who was no longer worried, quickly went through the method of 'coercion and temptation' in his mind.
After thinking about it, how the owner of the door oppressed, uh, no, how to persuade others not to talk nonsense!
The storm in Chen Yi's mind was surging, but Mu Qingyun and Wang Mingzhu looked at each other.
The atmosphere was not as tense as expected.
Wang Mingzhu even made up his mind in his heart.
Before she came, she had prepared for the worst, thinking that Miss Yue might even be furious and beat her up.
She was born in a farmer's household, with rough skin and thick meat, and she doesn't necessarily mean that she is pregnant, but she is not necessarily afraid of being beaten.
Looking at it now, Miss Yue is a good person.
That's it, I'm afraid it's not going to be easy.
She would rather Miss Yue have a short-tempered and impulsive temper.
Wang Mingzhu sighed in her heart and whispered: "The old lady said that the second son of Qi and Miss Yue are both literate and martial, and they are the right people, so it should be a good match, but Miss Yue's mother is because her husband took a concubine, and she has reached the point of separation, and Miss Yue must also be a master who can't rub sand in her eyes." ”
"In order to show respect for Miss, our concubines will definitely be dismissed."
Wang Mingzhu sighed, "Actually, it doesn't hurt to be dismissed, when my mother married me to Qi Gongzi as a concubine, I thought about it, just to work for a few years, so as to save some dowry for myself, reduce the burden on the family, and come out of the Qi family in the future, and I can still live my life." ”
She was sincere, and it was clear that she really wanted to do so.
Mu Qingyun's expression also did not show a trace of strangeness, as if this was a normal situation.
In the past, Mu Qingyun didn't know the folk 'customs' of this era.
What she knows and reads all say that the atmosphere has become more and more enlightened during this time, monogamy is practiced in marriage, and concubines are not allowed, at least like officials, scholars, etc., and concubines are never allowed.
This is political correctness.
The discipline of women has also begun to relax, and girls can go out to study and work.
Of course, on the surface, in fact, many families value women's honors more seriously than before.
Every year, there are still women who fall into the water, and for the sake of fame, they refuse to let strange men rescue them.
But Mu Qingyun really entered this era, and when she got rid of the written information, she was shocked to realize that the vast majority of the rules and systems that later generations saw on paper were actually things that the so-called upper-class people would abide by.
At the very least, it has to be a poor family to be eligible to consider these.
Let's just say that Wang Mingzhu's calculation seems to be an ordinary thing at the moment.
Now it's not a court rule that doesn't allow concubines? Don't let you buy slaves and maids, rich and noble families will recognize a righteous girl, and the name is different.
In the past few years, natural disasters have been frequent, and the lives of the people have been difficult, and the poor girls who were born with a fair face even thought that it was a good thing to be a girl and a concubine for a rich and noble family.
After a few years, the freshness of the master's family has passed, but anyone who is not a particularly bastard is willing to dismiss the concubines who have passed the flowering period.
Some of the housewives are generous, or the old men who serve are benevolent and righteous, and they are willing to give an extra dowry.
This poor girl went to a rich family to raise her for a few years, ate and drank well, and some of them could learn a craft, save a dowry, and return home, that is, a good woman who was scrambled by her neighbors.
Who cares if they have been concubines for the lord of a rich family?
Some medium-sized families with good family backgrounds are more willing to go to the concubines of everyone than the daughters of ordinary small families.
Those who have been concubines are more sought-after than those who have only been girls.
After all, being able to be a concubine means that the quality must be higher than that of ordinary maids.
Wang Mingzhu is obviously very sensible, and her idea is to take this road, so she doesn't care if she is dismissed or not, and she will save less money for her dowry if she is dismissed two years earlier.
"It was an accident to conceive this baby, the old lady and the son let me give birth after knowing it, I was a little hesitant at the time, but I didn't dare to fight when I was stopped."
Wang Mingzhu regretted it to death, "If you beat it now, it will be difficult to save your life." ”
"Early this morning, the old lady went to get the medicine and asked Xiaozhen to cook it for me."
"Xiao Zhen and I want to be good, she heard the doctor say, saying that in a month like this, drinking it is too harmful to the body, and I will definitely not be able to live in the future, maybe my life will not be guaranteed." ( Wise House Chinese No pop-up window, update in time )
