Chapter 44, Xiaoqin is happy
Xiaoqin was so happy that she gave each of the people she served an extra month's money, which she saw in the book and in the play.
As long as there is a happy event in the family, the old lady of the rich family or the wife in charge of the family will reward the house slave as a sign of kindness.
Maybe she will be like this in the future, even if she is not, it will be almost the same, of course, she will learn a little in advance.
Anyway, there are only five people who serve her, the housekeeper's mother, the cook and the personal girl are two taels, and the two rough mothers-in-law are one tael each, and the lord said that she was matched according to the standards of the Hou Mansion, and a total of eight taels of silver were sent away.
Hou Ye treated her very leniently in terms of money, and he really didn't care about these small money, and he used these small favors to completely subdue these minions.
After receiving the reward, everyone was really happy and flattered her in every way, and the housekeeper Liu Ma took the opportunity to mention one thing to her:
"So that my aunt will know that the old slave heard that the rich and noble families are very particular, and the child will not be admitted until he is born at home, and then he will be given a family tree.
If you are born outside, even if you finally recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, you will be called an outer room for the rest of your life, isn't this going to make the little boy be criticized for the rest of his life?
Mrs. Hou can't give birth to herself, this is the eldest son of Lord Hou in her aunt's belly, and it is a visible thing to pay homage to the Hou, how can she have such a reputation?
You are not an outer room, you are a serious concubine, and you have kowtowed to the original wife and toasted tea.
Mrs. Hou is not virtuous, just stop you from entering the door, do you dare to stop Lord Hou's eldest son from entering the door?
The old slave is also well-informed, and he has never seen anyone keep the concubine's room as an outer room! ”
These are all things that Xiaoqin is about to say badly, so they all know it.
I heard that the Hou Mansion is extremely rich, what benefits can I get if I don't go in? Where can a slave in the outer chamber compare to the slave of the Hou Mansion?
If the master really wins the man in one fell swoop, then she really has a bright future.
But she forgot that Du Zhiqian didn't dare to take Xiaoqin into the house for what, and why did he tell them not to leak the news.
Xiaoqin was immersed in joy, and she was a little carried away for a while:
"You're right, the Lu family may really not be able to give birth, the master will not only take me into the mansion, but maybe he will also record the child in her name and be crowned the son of the world in the future!
At that time, the Hou Mansion will be the world of our mother and son, you are all old people who follow me, you are all heroes, you will enjoy the glory and wealth together! ”
That's what the people in the play say, and she said this to make these people more loyal to herself.
Sure enough, this time it took more than a month to wait for Du Zhiqian to find a chance to come over.
I heard that Xiaoqin was happy, and she had asked the doctor to check the pulse and diagnose it, and she cried with joy.
He was an only child, nearly thirty years old, and the sons of his peers were either shoulders or in rows.
In a few years, other people's sons will be married, but he only has two daughters, how will he inherit the family business in the future?
He finally wants to have a son (he is sure that Xiaoqin will be a man in one fell swoop), even if he is a concubine, he doesn't have to face the ridicule of others every day!
Baoyi is already three years old, and Qingniang has no good news, and she does not take the initiative to take a concubine for him.
He was really afraid of her noise, and he never dared to mention the matter of the heir, in fact, he was already very anxious in his heart.
He hugged Xiaoqin and said words of thanks, but Xiaoqin was excited but remembered Liu's mother's words, and suddenly became vigilant.
He said tentatively: "It doesn't matter if I enter the Hou Mansion or not, but wouldn't the child be born outside and become an outer room?" How could he carry such a reputation for the rest of his life? ”
Du Zhiqian shook his head worriedly: "It's not that I won't let you enter the mansion, let alone have a child when you enter the mansion, it's hard to say whether you can live or not!"
For the safety of your mother and son, not only did you not dare to enter the house, but you also had to hide it from her!
You don't know, Lu Shi is becoming more and more irritable and mean and ruthless now!
Last winter, a little girl in her early teens brought me tea, and I praised her for making tea and her hands, and I never saw that girl again.
I didn't care, I just found out a few days ago, just because I praised it, the Lu family asked people to cut off the little girl's hands!
She was so frightened that she desperately broke free from her mother-in-law's hand and jumped into the pond, and Lu said that she chopped her hands as soon as she came out, so she froze to death in the pond......
Her mother was widowed and raised her only daughter, and when she heard the news, she died on the spot, and both mother and daughter were thrown into a mass grave......
That little girl is still young and mediocre, I just boast casually, it's two lives!
The Lu family even issued a gag order, so there was no rumor.
Since then, the girls in the house have avoided me, and I only found out when I overheard the conversation between the two minions a few days ago......
Now I don't dare to look at the young girls in the house, let alone give them a good face, for fear of hurting them! In fact, most of the girls in the house are mediocre or even ugly......"
Xiaoqin's frightened face turned white, and her teeth chattered in Du Zhiqian's arms.
didn't notice that the Qingniang in Du Zhiqian's mouth had become the Lu family, which shows that the husband and wife have really become centrifuged.
That little girl is only eleven or twelve years old, childish and mediocre, but the old man just casually boasted and buried two lives!
If the Lu family knows that the master loves him so much, I'm afraid he will tear his whole family into pieces, no, right? ”
Du Zhiqian also had a concern: "For the sake of our children, you can't go home, let alone let her know!"
Otherwise, you and the child are in danger, I'm useless, I can't stop her at all!
You can rest assured that you are raising a baby here, I will keep a little more silver, and I will not dare to grow up in the future, and I must not be discovered by her!
If it doesn't work, just take your mother's family to take care of you, don't worry, I'll raise you, master! ”
When Xiaoqin heard that her mother's family came over, she was first overjoyed, and then she was frightened and said:
"Then if Madame knew, wouldn't she have served us in a pot, no, chopped together!
No, I'm really scared, sir, can you find another place to hide me? ”
Du Zhiqian sighed and shook his head: "How can the house in the capital be so easy to find?" Besides, it's easier to be spotted if you're surprised.
It's very safe here, and it's even more inconvenient for me to come to see you when it's far away.
He was embarrassed to say that in the past few years, he has been raising Xiaoqin in fine clothes and food, and his private money is not much, and the withdrawal on the public account is fixed.
Some regretted that she shouldn't have told Xiaoqin about this, which frightened her, but don't affect his son.
Xiaoqin is pregnant with his son and can't do without someone to take care of him, and he wants to come once but it is getting more and more difficult, so it is better to find another way.
"Obediently, I will leave you some more silver, and I have hidden a few valuable things, which have been sold enough for you to raise your children.
Next time, I will bring you all of them, just to make your mind safe, you will write a letter in a while, and I will send them back to your house and take care of them all.
If they are sensible, they don't have to go back to Yunzhou, and they can accompany you in the future. ”
