Chapter 31: Pampered
When he returned to the room in the evening, Lutang remembered the banquet during the day, and still felt disgusting and wanted to vomit.
Su Su and Ling'er also lost their eyes in shock, and they were quite impressed by the third lady.
However, Mama He was well-informed, served Lutang combed her hair, and said eloquently: "The wealthy families of Jingshi are not all messed up into a pot of porridge. The second lady thinks they are an eyesore, so she just don't go over. ”
Lu Tang half-closed his eyes and said slowly: "King Jin promised to seal Ziqian as a side concubine, her position is extraordinary, her belly is getting bigger, and she can't drag it out for too long." At the latest, I have to enter the palace to meet and enlarge the appointment. ”
Su Su hurriedly said: "The third lady is from our second room, if she really seals the concubine of King Jin, there will be a lot of trouble." Houmen's daughter married into the palace, the dowry cannot be thin, and the Hou Ye and the eldest lady will definitely not come out. ”
Ling'er also nodded and said, "Looking at the shameless appearance of the third lady now, she will definitely go back to the West Courtyard to find the young lady for a dowry." ”
The parents' property and dowry are still trivial matters, looking at Ziqian's unscrupulous appearance, I am afraid that she will turn out Zhang Xiaoniang's identity to make a fuss.
As expected, early the next morning, Wen Hou and his wife sent someone to call Lu Tang over, and asked Lu Tang to hand over the key to the West Garden warehouse in front of Wen Hongyao and Zi Qian.
"The third girl wants to be the concubine of the King of Jin, and the dowry of our Hou Mansion cannot be simple." Mrs. Wenhou said with a thorn in her words: "She has something in her stomach that she can't hold, and she can't wait, and it's too late to buy it temporarily." ”
Wen Hongyao helped on the side: "You two sisters are the closest relatives, and Ziqian is separated from me by a layer." Second sister, you live alone in the West Garden, control the second house property, and send your sister to us to take care of it, which is like a thing done by your hands and feet? ”
Lutang took a sip of the teacup and said with a smile: "Ziqian likes to follow her big sister since she was a child, and she has a deep love with her big sister, and she has to work with her big sister when she gets married, how dare I stop her?" ”
Wen Hongyao caught a glimpse of Ziqian protecting her lower abdomen with both hands, her face was clear and innocent, and she couldn't help but say in a weird way: "The third sister is a concubine, she has not been disciplined by her father and mother since she was a child, and what she has done is enough to make people laugh." ”
Seeing Wen Hongyao's face full of fierceness, Ziqian knelt down on her knees for impropriety, and said aggrievedly: "When I served His Royal Highness in Chongxian Temple, my sister was afraid that the eldest sister would blame. But His Royal Highness said that the eldest sister was a virtuous woman, and she refused to be jealous, so her sister complied with His Highness's wishes. To this day, the eldest sister tries her sister in every possible way, so that her sister doesn't know how to be a good ......" The pear blossom who cried brought rain.
Wen Hongyao hated her cheapness the most, and the willow eyebrows stood up and scolded: "The little slut dresses up every day with red and willow green, and she looks like a fox with a hook." The thief's eyes are always on His Highness, and His Highness who provokes you will not let you go, shameless slut! ”
Ziqian listened to the viciousness of her scolding, immediately softened her waist and legs, collapsed on the ground and whimpered: "My sister scolded me, but my sister didn't dare to fight back." But then again, which daughter's family doesn't have a name festival? Although my sister has no name, there is a kind of child in her belly, and His Royal Highness takes care of it. My sister is not like the faceless prostitute, she is pregnant with a wild seed that I don't know, and I have to feed the dog when I get it! ”
These few sentences pointed to Sang scolding Huai, making Wen Hongyao's face blue with anger, and Mrs. Wenhou was anxious, pointing to her nose and scolding: "Bastard little prostitute, the marriage has not yet been decided, first make your belly bigger, Hou Mansion gives you face?" ”
Ziqian wiped away her tears, sneered at her neck: "Let's talk about flesh and blood, I still call you aunt." When I get out of the cabinet, I am a serious prince's side concubine, and you have to be behind me in the big ceremony. Don't look at the eldest sister is a concubine, the royal rules are that the mother is more expensive than the son, who gives birth to the prince's son, who is the serious master! ”
Wen Hongyao couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and splashed the tea soup in his hand on his face.
Ziqian didn't wipe it, and said with tears: "Big sister is less angry." My sister is still in the boudoir, so His Royal Highness took me in regardless of the rules. In the future, we will serve in the palace together, and His Royal Highness will spoil his sister a lot, but I am afraid that my sister will be angry! ”
A few words made Mrs. Wenhou angry, and scolded in a trembling voice: "The little prostitute in the second room, a without a father and a mother!" ”
Wen Hongyao was also about to smash the teacup, but Lu Tang raised his hand to block it, and said with a smile: "We Ziqian have been afraid of cowardice since childhood, and we can only hide behind when we see the living." Since she followed her big sister a while ago, she has really been sharp and sharp-tongued, and she has come out on top in everything. In the end, it is good for the aunt and the eldest sister to be trained, and it is not our second room. ”
As soon as she heard Lu Tang speak, Zi Qian knelt on the ground and turned around, wiping her tears and smiling: "Second sister, you also listened to the matter of His Royal Highness sealing my side concubine yesterday." My sister is a concubine, and since I was a child, I haven't seen food and clothes. The father and mother went early, and the family property was controlled by the second sister, should the younger sister be allowed to marry into the Jin Palace? ”
She is simply sorry for what she said, since the death of her parents, Zhang Xiaoniang has controlled the degree, and Lutang eats, drinks and dresses as much as her little sister, for fear that she will be wronged.
Even today, the silk light leno skirt worn by Ziqian is much more expensive than Lutang's home-style clothes.
Lu Tang's heart was as bright as electricity, and he chuckled: "The third sister is the concubine of the King of Jin, and my sister is just a girl without a title, so I naturally have to listen to your orders." What do you want, do you dare not give it to you, second sister? ”
Seeing that she had taken the person, Ziqian hurriedly got up and hurriedly said: "Father's property and mother's dowry have been calculated by the clan elders in the past few months. My sister didn't dare to ask for more, and the second sister divided half of me, and I brought it into the Jin Palace's mansion to make a dowry. ”
Mrs. Wenhou and the mother and daughter of Hongyao were stunned.
If half of the property in the Wen family's second room is really let her, the side concubine's dowry is afraid that it will be far better than the dowry of the main concubine.
Lu Tang sneered slightly: "You can just ask for your father's family property, and you will also share half of my mother's dowry, I'm afraid you're losing your heart, right?" ”
Ziqian knew that her mother's family was very rich, so she refused to let go at this time, and snorted coldly: "The concubine is also the mother's child, and the mother's dowry naturally has my share!" ”
Wen Hongyao's mother and daughter saw their sisters arguing over property, and they all sneered and watched the battle.
Ziqian glanced at them, and the demon sat back on the chair in a tone, and said, "There is another one, it is not easy for my little lady Zhang to give birth to me and raise me, she died of illness in the Hou Mansion, and she has never been sent." I am already the concubine of King Jin, a person with a fate, and my little mother is also the same as my aunt, and I am the mother-in-law of His Royal Highness King Jin. A few days later, I asked my uncle to go to the ancestral hall to report to the elders, and enshrine my little lady's tablet, and my mother is not separated. ”
When she proposed Zhang Xiaoniang, Su Su and Ling'er couldn't help it first. Lu Tang hurriedly picked up the teacup, stopped the tongues of the two maids, and secretly glanced at the mother and daughter of the Wen family.
Zhang Xiaoniang is the culprit who caused Wen Hongyao's miscarriage in public, and the mother and daughter can't solve their hatred.
At this time, Wen Hongyao's face was already white, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Mrs. Wenhou laughed angrily, nodded at Ziqian and smiled: "The third girl said it very well. ”
Lu Tang got up and curtsied at Mrs. Wenhou, then turned back to Ziqian and said with a smile: "The third sister said that it was her mother's daughter for a while, and then said that it was Zhang Xiaoniang who gave birth to herself. I'm afraid that the third sister will be confused, and the preface doesn't match the afterword. Okay, today according to the third sister, your father's family property will be divided into half of you. As for the mother's dowry, my sister went back and thought about it, whether she wanted something or the little lady's offering. After the third sister thinks clearly, she will tell me again. ”
Ziqian hurriedly shouted: "Give me half of my mother's things, and my little mother wants to help me to be a flat wife!" In the future, His Royal Highness the King of Jin will give his mother-in-law the order of his wife, and my little mother's title will be side by side with my aunt! ”
When the room was silent, the master and servant in the room were silent, and no one dared to say anything anymore.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Lu Tang took a brocade box from Su Su's hand, handed it to Wen Hongyao with his own hands, and whispered in his ear:
"Big sister, I picked up the purple coriander thing in Chongxian Temple that day, but I didn't have the face to give it to her, so I asked the big sister to hand it over on my behalf."
Lu Tang turned his head and instructed his subordinates: "Last time, His Royal Highness the King of Jin rewarded me with four boxes of wedding gifts, all of which were brought out and sent to the third lady." From tomorrow, I will accompany the third lady to the West Garden storeroom, and mark everything she likes, and bring it to her when she leaves the cabinet. ”
After that, Lutang said goodbye to everyone and walked out of the hall without looking back.
Ziqian won such a large dowry without much effort, and couldn't help but be proud, holding her stomach with her hand, and whispering: "Good boy, don't listen to strange things from others." Your mother is a noble daughter of the Houmen, her background is no worse than others, and your father favors your mother, as long as you are angry, you are not afraid that the position of the prince is not yours! ”
When Wen Hongyao heard her words, she was already dizzy with anger, and opened the brocade box handed by Lutang casually, and saw that there was a moon-white satin violet belly pocket inside, with ink dots on it and two lines of poetry:
"Crying off the slanted shadow of the sun, the small waist of the willow."
Wen Hongyao only glanced at it, and couldn't help clenching his fists, and the two bright red nails that had been maintained for a long time were broken at the root.
In the small hall of Chongxian Temple that day, Xiao Yuanhui's lake pen was full of fragrant ink, and Ziqian untied his skirt and jade body.
When he was wearing only this belly pocket, Xiao Yuanhui smiled with satisfaction, took the jade waist in his arms, and put pen to paper on the dirty clothes.
The ink dots and clothes fell to the ground at the same time, and the flowers and branches were scattered at this moment. Looking at this ink-dyed belly pocket, you can think of the soft couch fragrant and charming.
Wen Hongyao's blood irrigated pupil kernel when he was angry.
The sun is shining in the middle of summer, and there are many ice cubes in the white porcelain blue and white urn in the hall to relieve the heat.
The fan fanned the slightest cool breeze, but her heart was surging with a mouthful of blood.
"Since your second sister shared half of your family property as a dowry, the eldest sister should not be too stingy." Wen Hongyao's face turned from red to white, calmed down, and instructed his subordinates: "Call the singing and dancing class and musicians who served the banquet yesterday." ”
Six dancers, two singers and one male musician, each holding a musical instrument, knelt outside the hall.
The head of the class is Gong Kunyu, a composer who was raised in the Hou Mansion, in his twenties, his face is like a crown of jade, and his mouth is like a painted Zhu, and his demeanor is quite famous.
"This team is raised by the Hou Mansion, although it is not as good as Huang Zhong Dalu of Yuefu, it is a hundred times stronger than the ordinary people's drama troupe. At yesterday's banquet, His Royal Highness King Jin had a lot of praise. Wen Hongyao's eyes chuckled, and the corners of his mouth showed sharp teeth, "Leban gave Zi Qian, you can't go out while you're pregnant, it's good to listen to songs to relieve boredom." ”
Sending a music class as a gift is really extravagant and heavy, Ziqian was overjoyed, but said with a smile: "The yard where my sister lives is too small, I'm afraid of making trouble with others." ”
Wen Hongyao hated her frivolity, and sneered: "My sister is about to leave the pavilion, and the Hou Mansion will not build you a new house." If you want to be clean, go back to the West Garden to live with your second sister, or move to the east courtyard of the back garden, where it is quiet and cool, and the house is also very spacious. ”
The east courtyard of the back garden has just been renovated at the beginning of the year, and it is the residence of Mrs. Wenhou to cool off the heat, which is luxurious and luxurious. It's just because I'm not in the mood for a lot of things this summer, so I didn't go to live.
Ziqian hurriedly responded: "The West Garden has been barren for a long time, and only the second sister is willing to guard it. It's okay in the east courtyard of the back garden, and I only live for a few days temporarily, and I still give it to my aunt and eldest sister when I leave the pavilion in the morning and evening. ”
After a few days of victory, Ziqian was proud, holding the maid in her hand, and walked out of the hall.
Leban at the door hurriedly followed and hugged her back to the room.
"What song and dance do you all know?"
The head of the class, Gong Kunyu, bowed forward and replied, sure enough, the person was as his name, and his voice was like the low voice of the Kunshan jade broken phoenix, which was more outstanding than the appearance.
"Miss Huisan, the big dance "Hu Xuan Dance", "Ni Dress Dance", "Amazing Dance", the small dance "Green Waist", "Zhezhi" and "Lotus Picking". There will be more songs, 50 sets of large suites, and 3500 songs of small orders. ”
Ziqian smiled disdainfully: "Those familiar songs on weekdays are not interesting to listen to." ”
Gong Kunyu hurriedly laughed and said: "The third lady wants to listen to new songs, in addition to the music and rhythm, the villain is slightly familiar with literature and ink, and it is okay to fill in new words now." ”
Seeing that he was talking clearly, Ziqian turned around and smiled: "Okay, write a few more new songs and sing them at my wedding." If I win the favor of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I will have a heavy reward. ”
"Miss Xie San's grace."
