He Niang didn't know that He's food was not bad usually, but it was definitely not as good as today, and she usually ate to let Helai serve Wang Ximeng.

But this point, even if he says it, it is useless, because big families have such rules, and it is normal for a concubine to serve the master.

When He Niang came this time, she made sure that her daughter was doing well here, and when she heard her say that she had to do some laundry and do some chores, He Niang looked at her in the wrong way.

"You didn't do more at home than this before? People won't let you cook on the fire, and they won't let you chop wood, what do you want?"

The more I talk about this, the more I seem to be ignorant.

He didn't expect that her mother would think that she was living a good life in the Zhao family.

"Auntie, she, she bullied me, she still let me serve her food, this is still a good life?"

He Niang glanced at her: "As a concubine, which family is not like this? The main thing is that the man is not at home now, and you can only do that. Anyway, now that she is pregnant, you will serve her well first, and when your son-in-law is admitted to the master of lifting people in the future, your identity will naturally be different. And if the son-in-law can stay at home for a long time in the future, it will be designated as spending more nights with you, and I see that the princess looks average, and she has given birth to a child, how can she compare with you like this?"

He thought about it too, now Zhao Jiajun comes back twice a month, and stays at home for two nights once, can he still count on his husband's love?

Forget it, so be it.

"Auntie, why don't you buy a girl and send it over to serve me?"

When He Niang heard this, her eyes widened: "What nonsense are you talking about! How can we have that spare money? Your little brother is not married yet!"

He pouted: "Didn't the husband give our family a gift of twenty taels of silver?"

"That's not going to happen. How expensive is the house in the capital, our house is too small, in the future, your little brother will either go out to live when he gets married, or he will have to change to a big mansion, how can our family have so much money now?"

Zhao Jiajun not only gave a concubine gift of twenty taels in order to accept the lot, but also gave a lot of good things such as rice, noodles and meat.

Otherwise, the family would not have been showing off outside for several days.

For the small stall set up by the He family, it is impossible to have ten taels of silver in a month's income.

In such a comparison, Zhao Jiajun gave a lot of concubine etiquette.

He Niang still thinks it's a pity, if Zhao Jiajun doesn't have a wife, then the bride price will be several times more.

Forget it, people can't be too greedy, and it's not bad to have twenty taels of silver.

When He Niang left, the maid and sister-in-law at home sent her out of the second door, and then took out two hangs of money from her arms.

"This is our lady's reward. There are also a few packets of dim sum here, so you can take them home and give them to the kids."

After the mother-in-law finished speaking, the little girl on the side carried something and sent it forward.

He Niang is happy in her heart.

I came here, and I didn't eat a meal of meat, but I actually got a reward and a precious snack, which is really good!

Of course, she also knows that this kind of thing can't happen every day.

And the mother-in-law's later meaning is also very clear, in the end, it is the family of the concubine, and it is better to come less in the future.

Although He Niang was a little angry in her heart, when she thought of these practical benefits, she didn't say anything and tiptoed home.

Two dollars is worth two or three days of income for their family.

Wang Ximeng's arrangement, he can't find fault with it, and her mother's family can't find fault with it, even after Zhao Jiajun knows about it, he can only say that Wang Ximeng is virtuous.

Xie Rongzhao's appetite has not been very good recently, and he can't be interested in anything to eat, but after returning to his parents' house this day, he ate a bite of the pickles made by Liu Ruolan herself, and he had a great appetite, and he ate two bowls of rice in a row.

Liu Ruolan was originally worried that her daughter couldn't eat, but now that she has eaten too much, she is naturally happy, and immediately arranged for someone to fill a small jar of pickles and let her take it back.

"Although this pickle is to your taste, you can't eat too much, you can eat a few bites at each meal, and you still have to eat some fish."

"Got it, A-Niang."

Before leaving, Xie Xiuwen and Cheng Jingzhou came back.

Weng and his son-in-law, one was rushing back to see his little good baby, and the other was in a hurry to take his daughter-in-law home.

Xie Xiuwen spoke, Cheng Jingzhou could only stay for dinner, and he was not allowed to leave after eating, Xie Xiuwen pulled his daughter to play a game of chess together.

"Okay, if you don't leave, there's going to be a curfew outside."

Liu Ruolan still can't stand it, and the old man is getting more and more childish.

Xie Ronglang sent the couple into the carriage and told the coachman to walk steadily.

Xie Rongzhao raised the curtain and spoke, "Ah Lang, your marriage with Miss Chang should be done as soon as possible." I see that A-Niang is very leisurely now, and I hurriedly arranged a marriage for you, so that she can hold another eldest grandson next year."

Xie Ronglang's face turned red, and he glanced at him: "Go back!"

Xie Rongzhao chuckled, "Ah Lang is shy?"

Xie Ronglang's face was different, a little uncomfortable: "I, how can I have!"

"You're right to take a break the day after tomorrow, right? I made an appointment with Sister Yaqin of the Chang family to come to Chengfu as a guest, so remember to dress better then."

Xie Ronglang's eyes widened, and before he could speak, Xie Rongzhao lowered the curtain, and the carriage moved.

Xie Ronglang had the heart to argue with her a few more words, but he thought that he would rest the day after tomorrow, if he could go to meet Chang Yaqin, he would have to ask her about some of her preferences, and some arrangements in the courtyard would be planned as soon as possible.

Xie Ronglang thought of the matter mentioned by others about the separation, and after his face changed slightly, he hurried to the study again.

Fortunately, my father is still here, and he hasn't returned to the inner courtyard.

"What's wrong? They are all officials, and they don't know how to be stable."

Xie Ronglang hurriedly bowed down and admitted his mistake.

"Father, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Say it."

Xie Ronglang hesitated for a moment, but he didn't know where to start.

He doesn't know much about the separation, it seems that he decided it when he was a child, but now that their family is in the capital, if they really split up, is it not good for the future of the eldest brother?

Xie Ronglang entered the Hanlin Academy directly because he was a first-class jinshi, while Xie Ronghui was a second-class jinshi, and according to the rules, he had to enter the Shuchang Hall and take another exam.

However, Xie Xiuwen knew that Xie Ronghui's qualifications were impossible to enter the cabinet, so it didn't matter so much whether he entered Hanlin or not.

Xie Xiuwen's original plan was to release Xie Ronghui directly, but considering that this was Xie Ronghui's own choice, he didn't interfere too much.

"Father, when I returned to my hometown to worship my ancestors, I heard about the rules that you and Grandpa had set about the separation of the eldest brother's family. My son came here to ask, is this true?"
