Chapter 131: The Concubine Room
Liu Gou'er entered the firewood room innocently, Yuanjia had been loosened by the mother-in-law, and was held in the arms of You Shi, crying pitifully.
"Master, did you call me?" Liu Gou'er knelt down.
Wei Dongshu turned his back and looked down at the fool Liu Gou'er: "You are not young anymore, has anyone in the family told you about kissing?"
Liu Gou'er shook his head: "Back to the master, the villain's family is poor, and no girl will marry me." ”
"Master will find you a daughter-in-law, are you willing?" Wei Dongshu looked at him seriously.
Although Liu Gou'er is a little stupid, he also knows a lot of rumors and rumors in the house in the past few days, the eldest lady has sex with others, and she has a small birth, and now he sees that there are still stools and ropes scattered in the firewood room, and he also believes a lot.
"If I marry the eldest lady to you and ask you to be a door-to-door son-in-law, are you willing?"
"Huh?" Liu Gou'er was stunned, glanced in the direction of the You family, and only saw the anger in his eyes full of resentment. He shuddered, and the mother-in-law who made the big pot of rice in the back porch had told him that the eldest lady was a hot potato, and no one wanted it anymore. The old man will have to recruit a son-in-law. Sure enough, she was right.
"You don't want to?!" Wei Dongshu's voice was a little more muffled.
Liu Gou'er swallowed his saliva, it was really a hot potato, if you wanted, Aunt You would definitely not be happy, and those people in the back porch would laugh at him for forgetting eight;
"Why don't you speak?" Wei Dongshu asked.
Liu Gou'er pretended to be stupid: "Master, the villain's family is poor." ”
"Hey, the son-in-law of the door, the son-in-law of the door, I want you to join our Wei Mansion, and from now on you will be my Wei Dongshu's son-in-law, and I don't want your silver. Wei Dongshu came out with a sweet face: "As the son-in-law of the Wei Mansion, I guarantee that you will eat and drink spicy food, and those subordinates will never dare to bully you again!"
Liu Gou'er still doesn't speak, and the price of not being bullied is to forget about it, which is still a bit big. Those people have a son-in-law on the surface, but don't they still laugh at him behind their backs?
"Bold!" Wei Dongshu shouted: "Do you still think that my Miss Wei family is not worthy of you?"
"Ah, don't dare, don't dare!" Liu Gou'er kowtowed again and again: "The old man is angry, the villain is afraid that he is not worthy of the young lady!"
"Less nonsense! That's it!" Wei Dongshu made up his mind.
You snorted hatefully and glared at Liu Gou'er fiercely.
"Sir. Juka knocked at the door.
"What's the matter?!" Wei Dongshu shouted.
"The porter sent a letter from the third lady. Ju Xiang said.
"Enter!" Wei Dongshu turned his back to his hand.
After patiently reading Yuan Xi's letter, Wei Dongshu's tightly knit brows suddenly relaxed, and he looked down at Yuan Jia: "Count yourself lucky." ”
Wei Dongshu glanced at Ju Xiang: "You go and get ten taels of silver for Liu Gou'er, and today's incident will be treated as if it never happened." ”
You Shi asked timidly: "Master, what is written in the letter?"
Wei Dongshu snorted, folded the letter, and stuffed it into his arms: "The emperor will soon issue an edict to let the king of Hejun marry Yuanjia as a concubine." ”
In a palace, the largest is the princess, followed by the side concubine, and the concubine is above the girl in the room, and she has no status. But it's better than marrying a stupid little guy, right? You Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Jia was a little surprised, why did the emperor issue such an edict, could it be that even the emperor knew about his own affairs?
Wei Dongshu rubbed his shoulders, when he hit someone too hard just now, it seemed to pull the tendons, and his arm was sore and sore at this moment.
"The emperor is looking at Yuan Xi's face and refuses to let the master of the suzerain's mansion have a sister who is inferior. Wei Dongshu pointed at Yuan Jia and said: "I want to thank your sister this time, if it weren't for her, you would have waited to marry Liu Gou'er!"
When Liu Gou'er heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, okay, this time there is no need to forget eight, there are still ten taels of silver to take. thanked him and followed Ju Xiang to the back to get the silver.
Yuanjia Song Shen'er, it seems that Wei Yuanxi still did what he said once, and he was already very surprised that he didn't fall into the well, but he didn't expect that she also helped her.
The concubine room is the concubine room, it's the prince's room. Thinking that she was going to marry Xiao Rongshen soon, Yuan Jia was still a little surprised in her heart, in the days when she had a miscarriage, she thought that she would never have any intersection with Xiao Rongshen again in her life.
Concubine, this is really an unexpected joy.
Xiao Rongshen didn't feel much about this family business, if he had to say why, he would only feel embarrassed. What a sin is it for a woman to seduce a woman? An impeachment by the imperial history can bring him down in an instant! Fortunately, the emperor did not pursue the matter, but only asked him to marry Wei Yuanjia.
Wei Yuanjia, a woman with a lot of chicken ribs, the food is tasteless, and she discards it...... There's nothing to be sorry for.
Xiao Rongshen looked at the wall in the study with the mountain tiger painted on it, and secretly grinded his teeth. How did this matter get the word? If we look at the final result, it seems that the Wei Mansion has made the greatest profit, could it be that they themselves publicized it? Thinking about it, I feel that it is impossible, Miss Wei Jia has done such a shameless thing, shouldn't she cover it and not say it?
Just thinking about it, Gao Bingyan entered the study: "Your Highness, your name is the minister?"
Xiao Rongshen turned his head and said helplessly: "My father asked me to marry that woman." ”
"The Wei family?" Gao Bingyan asked.
Xiao Rongshen nodded, and breathed a sigh of relief impatiently: "This slut must have secretly spilled the safflower water." ”
Gao Bingyan was stunned for a moment, and then became gloomy: "It's stupid, she doesn't want to think about it, even if she is pregnant with a child, what if Her Royal Highness can marry her? A concubine of the Wei family, she doesn't even have the right to inherit, what's the use? The emperor's trick is ruthless enough, isn't marrying her at this time slapping His Highness in the face?"
Xiao Rong was deeply open, Gao Bingyan looked at the Ming Huang Shangyu who was placed on the side, and continued: "I just gave a child a miscarriage, it's a waste." ”
"There's no pity, a stupid woman's child wouldn't be smart. Xiao Rong narrowed his eyes coldly: "If this Wei Yuanjia is as capable as her sister, this king may still like her a little." ”
"Your Highness still likes that Wei Yuanxi?" Gao Bingyan looked at him sideways: "Wei Yuanxi has now broken Donglin Prefecture and quelled the people's uprising. Even if the emperor's decree takes effect, she is the future crown princess, as long as His Royal Highness becomes the crown prince, isn't she your Highness?"
"Mine?" Xiao Rongshen sneered a few times: "How can it be so simple? She is the daughter of Princess Hanzhang, that is, the only bloodline of the Shangguan family." Isn't marrying the enemy's daughter the same as putting a knife next to the pillow?"
"As long as she doesn't know about it, it's not a big deal. Gao Bingyan said disapprovingly.
"Do you think she won't know?" Xiao Rong looked at him indifferently, and turned the edict upside down: "My father asked her to be the sect master of Donglin, which already explains everything, and now, for the sake of her reputation, she gave her * sister to this king, which is enough to show that her father values her." Wei Yuanxi is not surprised by this, what does this mean? It shows that she already knows her true identity. ”
Gao Bingyan was stunned: "What His Highness said makes some sense. He couldn't help but gasp and smack: "In this way, things will be difficult." ”
Gao Bingyan looked sideways at Xiao Rongshen, who was silent, and beat a small drum in his heart. He vaguely felt that Xiao Rongshen really liked Wei Yuanxi, but it was just because of his identity.
If he wanted to marry Wei Yuanxi, who was powerful, rich and powerful, Xiao Rongshen would never want to be so sad now, but now he wants to marry Wei Yuanjia, who is really not rich, powerful and stupid, Xiao Rongshen's heart must be more uncomfortable than eating a fly.
He couldn't help but sneer, presumably this eldest lady of the Wei family was going to suffer.
"Whether you marry Wei Yuanxi or not, this king will be the crown prince, not for anything else, just for the first emperor. Xiao Rongshen said, put three sticks of incense on the Bodhisattva, and said faintly: "This king was brought up by the first emperor, and the first emperor's mind is best understood by this king. ”
He turned around: "Gao Xiangguo, there is a long way to go!"
Marrying a concubine does not require any big gifts, as long as you take a small sedan chair and carry it into the mansion, it is considered a ceremony. Although Wei Dongshu did ugly things, his daughter married King Hejun after all, so the Wei family's face was not lost. He was also afraid that his daughter would be angry when she got married, so he asked someone to seal 10,000 taels of gold, and followed the sedan chair into the Hejun King's Mansion.
Ten thousand taels of gold is equal to one hundred thousand pieces of silver.
If it was usual, Xiao Rongshen would have accepted it, but now, with this money in front of him, he always felt a little joking. It was as if Wei Dongshu had won a game against him, and then used the silver to provoke.
Xiao Rongshen was angry, and the next day he asked someone to send the gold back to the Wei Mansion intact.
He didn't want to see Yuan Jia, so he only asked his subordinates to settle her in a remote courtyard, so far away that he wouldn't go at all. didn't send any subordinates to serve, only an old mother surnamed Wang, with a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl Xia Hua to serve. plus the two people that Yuan Jia brought out from the Wei Mansion, one red jade and one green cloud.
It is said that if the prince does not go to the concubine's room that night, it means that the person is not favored, and people will not please her from now on. For seven days in a row, Xiao Rongshen did not see his new side concubine, and the people in the county king's mansion began to whisper, talking about Yuanjia's disobedience to women's morals, and the prince looked down on him.
Because the prince will not come, the dining room will deduct their diet, and the prince will not know, as soon as they come and go, those cooks will be even more unscrupulous, and there will be eight hot dishes, four cold dishes and one soup for the first meal. After seven days, there is only one dish and one meal per meal, and it may not be hot.
Yuan Jia shed tears while nibbling on the dry steamed buns, hatefully thinking of the general surnamed Qin in the Donglin Sect Lord's Mansion, if he hadn't deliberately poured himself to drink safflower, the kid might have survived. If the child was still there, Xiao Rongshen might not be so ruthless to her.
Just thinking about it, Xiao Rongshen sent her to serve her Wang Ma came in with a pot of hot water: "Auntie, the charcoal fire in our yard has run out." ”
Yuan Jia was stunned: "What's the matter? I still have to ask me for this little thing, you go and ask the housekeeper or will it be over?"
Mother Wang hesitated for a moment and lowered her head: "In the morning, I asked Xia Hua to ask the housekeeper for it, but the housekeeper said that it was a big deal, and the cold water was the same." ”
"What!?" Yuan Jia was shocked, is this to bully her to death?!
