The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 262 Taking a Concubine [Part [-]]

Ever since they decided to use their daughter to repay the debt, Xing Zhong and his wife have been struggling with life for the past few days.

On the one hand, they felt humiliated by Jiao Shun's grandiose actions, and felt that they had humiliated the Xing family's old face;

And this feeling of pain and joy, in the morning, the county government sent someone to return the house deed that was previously confiscated as evidence, and a hundred or ten craftsmen moved in at the same time to start work, and promised to move in with their bags at the end of this winter. reached the apex.

So much so that when several well-known shops in the capital offered to deliver goods to the Xing family for selection, the husband and wife even became a little numb.

It wasn't until Lin Daiyu and Jia Yingchun came together that they were overwhelmed by the mechanical response.

"I met my uncle and aunt."

"Get up, get up, get up!"

Facing the two Miss Jiao who were related in name but had no blood relationship at all, the husband and wife were very uncomfortable. After the usual opening remarks, Xing Zhong hesitated to speak, and finally sighed slightly, He lowered his head lazily.

When he faced Jia Yingchun and other daughters of the government, he felt inferior to others. Now that his daughter has been made a child, he doesn't know how to deal with it.

Xing's wife saw that her husband was silent like a gourd, so she forced a smile and said: "Xiuyan is in the West Room, you sisters go in and talk, I'll have tea and snacks brought in for you later."

Jia Yingchun nodded silently, but like Xing Zhong, she didn't intend to speak at all.

Seeing the increasingly embarrassing atmosphere, Lin Daiyu had no choice but to say politely for her: "Auntie, don't worry about us, you are busy with your work, we will leave after talking to Sister Xing about our son."

Daiyu was originally a maverick among the sisters, but now she has to be well-behaved and sensible. Seeing Yingchun walking in without saying anything, she feels even more helpless.

It should be said that although Jia Yingchun is usually dull, she is not impolite. On the contrary, because of her cautious temperament, she has always been the most polite among the sisters.

It's just that the twists and turns in the past few months have already exhausted the second lady physically and mentally, and what's more, she is facing the Xing family who is about to marry Jiao Shun, so Yingchun really can't get up the energy to support these customary rituals.

However, Xing Xiuyan also heard the movement outside, but because she was ashamed to meet people, she never took the initiative to welcome them out.

Seeing Jia Yingchun and Lin Daiyu walking in now, she hurriedly greeted her and said, "Second Sister, Sister Lin, why are you here?"

Jia Yingchun stared at her in a daze, his eyes blurred and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lin Daiyu had no choice but to act on her behalf again: "My sister's good news is coming, we should come and have a look - the sisters were all clamoring to come, but they were afraid that it would be inconvenient for my sister, so I asked my second sister and me to come and ask first. "

Xing Xiuyan gave a wry smile, shook her head and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the sisters, but the house is very chaotic now, if you treat the sisters slowly, it will not be beautiful."

The implication is that she is politely refusing the sisters to come and visit.

This was not beyond Daiyu's expectation, she nodded slightly to show she knew it, and then she suddenly blamed herself: "If I had been more determined and helped my sister pay back the money back then, how could I have made such a fuss?" field."

After hearing this, Xing Xiuyan had a sincere smile on her face, and she pulled Lin Daiyu earnestly and said: "I appreciate my sister's kindness, but now this ending may not be a bad thing for me."

Seeing the disapproval on Daiyu's face, she continued to add: "After all, I don't have any brothers or sisters, so I won't hurt anyone's future in marriage. As long as I can change my parents for a lifetime of stability and wealth, it can be regarded as entering the filial piety of a child."

"What's more, even though I am a concubine, at least I married a young and promising husband, and I entered the house earlier than the mistress. As long as I keep my duty in the future, I may not be worse than those who marry blindly."

These words sound reasonable, but Lin Daiyu knew that she was comforting herself, so she regretted it even more.

At the beginning, she had thought about asking Xue Baochai for help with some Xing Xiuyan.

Unlike other sisters and brothers, Xue Baochai is actually in charge of the family business, and it is not difficult for her to borrow more than a thousand taels of silver.

It's just that Lin Daiyu had always been at odds with Xue Baochai, and she didn't want her to act as the savior of the Xing family and show off in front of Baoyu, so she hesitated again and again, and never mentioned this method.

Who would have thought that such a big change would happen in just a few days!

Now that Jiao Shun is making arrangements with great fanfare, he has no choice but to launch, not to mention whether the Xue family is willing to get involved, even if he is willing to lend money to the Xing family, it may not help the matter.

While regretting, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but put her back on Xing Xiuyan's arm, gritted her teeth, and said, "Who said that my sister has no sisters or brothers? If you get angry at Jiao's house, just tell me... and my second sister, we will not let you go." he!"

"Sister Lin."

Xing Xiuyan knew that although her words were a little naive, they came from a pure heart, so she couldn't help being moved.

The two looked at each other arm in arm, it seemed that Jia Yingchun, the real brand cousin, had become an outsider.

At this time, the door curtain was raised suddenly, and it was Siqi who came in with tea and snacks.

But her face was somewhat strange.

"girl."

Putting down the tea and snacks, Siqi turned around and pointed outside and whispered: "Jiao Shun...Uncle Jiao is here."

Xing Xiuyan and Lin Daiyu couldn't help asking in unison, "Why is he here?"

"It should be to agree on a date."

Siqi explained: "I heard that I went to Qingxu Temple to ask questions, so I decided to pass the door on the 27th of this month."

After a pause, he added: "Although this is not as formal as the monthly post, it is much more solemn than the usual process of taking concubines, which shows that the Jiao family still values ​​girls very much."

This is naturally excellent news, but the status of a "concubine" does not make the second daughter happy.

"Xiuyan, Xiuyan."

At this moment, I suddenly heard Xing's wife calling from the door outside.

Xing Xiuyan stepped forward in doubt, and when she lifted the curtain, she saw her mother's tangled face, frowning tightly and whispering: "Uncle Jiao wants to see you."

Xing Xiuyan was stunned when she heard the words, the first thing she thought of was the rule of not being able to see each other before marriage, but then she thought about it, taking a concubine is not a marriage in the first place, so naturally there is no pre-marriage custom.

This made her feel a little disappointed, but she quickly restrained her emotions and said in a gentle voice, "If mother wants me to see her, my daughter will go see her."

"Ah~"

Xing's wife sighed, then bowed her head sadly and said, "Then come out and meet."

Xing Xiuyan turned around and confessed to Lin Daiyu and Jia Yingchun, and then followed her mother to the outer hall, but there was no one in the hall.

"I'll ask him to come in."

Xing's wife gave orders, and walked out of the hall door with mixed feelings, and nodded slightly to Xing Zhong who was staring at Jiao Shun in the corridor.

With a sullen face, Xing Zhong turned sideways to open the passage, and forcefully squeezed out three words: "Go in."

Jiao Shun smiled and cupped his hands at the couple, and then walked into the living room unhurriedly.

Seeing him coming in alone without his parents accompanying him, although Xing Xiuyan was ready, she still couldn't help but lowered her head in panic.

However, she immediately overcame her nervousness, took advantage of the situation, and walked towards Jiao with a low body, saying, "Xiuyan has met Mrs. Jiao."

"There is no need to be polite in the future."

While talking, Jiao Shun walked to the main seat and took a seat, then pointed to the high-backed chair beside him and said, "You can sit too, I think there are some things that should be explained clearly in advance, so as to prevent you from thinking wildly and worrying."

Xing Xiuyan stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for Jiao Shun, put it on his right hand side considerately, and then sat aside according to his instructions, but did not sit down, but placed half of his buttocks diagonally on it, The body is facing Jiao Shun.

Although this figure is slanted, his attitude is absolutely correct.

Jiao Shun nodded secretly, feeling more and more that this smooth deal was very worthwhile, and he was short of such a smart, precocious, upright, and well-born person to take care of the housework.

Otherwise, if you continue to gather like this, it will be enough for you to be busy just because the maids are jealous.

At that moment he cleared his throat, and said seriously: "You should know something about the situation in our family. My mother has worked hard all her life. If it comes to managing the family, it's easy to do, but a son should let her enjoy the happiness. After a few days A happy wife's day."

"So I've been groping around for a long time, trying to find a suitable woman to take care of this mess at home—I didn't dare to think about the girl at first, but I didn't want to have such a blundering fate."

"It may be a bad fate for the girl, but I'm overjoyed, otherwise I wouldn't rush to settle the matter."

"After passing through the door, I will hand over everything in the family to you. Although I can't compare to a big woman in terms of decency, I guarantee that no one in the family can underestimate or bully you!"

"As for your parents, you have seen them these few days, and I will definitely not be short of subsidies in the future, let alone stop you from entering filial piety."

After saying these words, if someone is greedy for power and has ambitions, he may be overjoyed, and then he will have the idea of ​​​​raising the big woman, or even replacing it.

But Xing Xiuyan frowned slightly, and after pondering for a while, she refused even more frankly: "My concubine is from a small family, and I have never learned these things, let alone my wife and grandma will make the decisions in the future, how can I get my turn to do it for me? "

If we really want to follow Jiao Shun's words, all the housework will fall on my aunt in the future. If things go on like this, how can the head mother agree to it? I'm afraid there will be a fight between dragons and tigers.

However, Xing Xiuyan has no ambition to usurp the throne, let alone conflict with the future mistress.

Hearing that she declined the proposal, Jiao Shunxin's evaluation of her was half a point higher. Immediately, he leaned his elbows on the coffee table in the middle, leaned half of his body to Xing Xiuyan's side, and said in a low voice: "In a few days You are mine now, and I will not hide some things from you."

Xing Xiuyan wanted to dodge subconsciously at first, but it can be seen that he tried his best to lower his voice, and with a mysterious posture, he couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart, and after a moment of hesitation, he froze and didn't move.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun immediately stepped forward to bully him, and whispered in Xing Xiuyan's ear: "I inherited the title of adoptive father, so naturally I want to leave behind the incense of the Jiao family, but I am the only one who comes here. Don’t you just watch them become extinct and no one else?”

Xing Xiuyan felt that he couldn't help blowing hot air into her ears, and half of her face was flushed for a while, and she was about to shrink back shyly, when she heard this, she couldn't help being stunned, and said in surprise: "Does your lord mean to say ..."

"Not what I meant."

Jiao Shun was almost biting the silver ingot-like ear, but on the surface he put it aside in a serious way: "It was my father and adoptive father's idea, and they planned to have two schools—there will be two mistresses at that time, who will be the one to decide?" It's not suitable to be in charge, and then it will naturally show that you are here."

"Although I don't have much contact with girls, I know that you are fair and generous. After passing through the door, follow your wife to practice and practice, and try to make a bowl of water level. When the time comes, they will occupy the position and you will hold the real power. On the surface, it appears that the two sects are at the same time, but in fact, the three legs stand at the same level in the family."

These words made Xing Xiuyan feel extremely complicated.

With Jiao Shun's promise, she lost countless anxiety, and even got rid of many heart problems; but if this is the case, it means that she will inevitably fight with the two mistresses in the future, and this kind of life is by no means what she wants. Think what you want.

At the time when all kinds of emotions were mixed, Xing Xiuyan suddenly felt a chill on her wrist, and looked down, but it was Jiao Shun who had caught her little hand at some point, and was slipping a very transparent jade bracelet onto her wrist .

Xing Xiuyan withdrew her hands subconsciously, and blurted out: "This, can't be done!"

"Is there anything I can't do?"

But Jiao Shun was willing to put it there, and forced the bracelet onto her wrist, then rubbed the smooth little hands, deliberately said with a straight face: "This is a token of love between you and me, if you take it off, I will give it to you." I'm going to be annoyed."

Xing Xiuyan struggled for a while, and then blushed and reminded: "Second sister and sister Daiyu are both in the room, my lord, please show some respect."

Jiao Shun wanted to gain some more advantage, but after hearing what she said, he glanced into the room from the corner of his eye, and saw two figures standing vaguely behind the curtain.

Afraid of leaving a bad impression on Sister Lin, he hurriedly sat back where he was, put on an upright gentleman's face and exhorted: "What I just said is a private matter of our family. Chuan doesn't even know, remember not to spread the word, otherwise if it affects the plan of the master and wife, it's not a joke."

If you want to have sex, you must not cheat or sneak attack. You must communicate clearly with the woman before marriage.

But it's one thing to let the woman know, but it's another thing to make a fuss and let everyone know about it. If it really gets publicized, the woman might back down if she could have promised because of her face.

Naturally, Xing Xiuyan also understood these principles, so she quickly got up and solemnly agreed.

Jiao Shun drank the tea on the table, got up and said, "It's getting late, I've already said what needs to be said, you just wait for 27 to get through the door."

After speaking, he walked away without hesitation.

Xing Xiuyan watched him disappear outside the door, and couldn't help but lowered her head and fondled the bracelet on her wrist. Although her heart was in a mess, she didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow, but most of the rejection and resistance to this marriage disappeared virtually.
