The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 816 Concubine ([-])

Chapter 810 Fourth Concubine ([-])

Sending away Lu Jinbai and his wife, taking advantage of the weather before the rainy season, a new round of renovations began in the mansion.

Although Lu Mingyang and An's have already moved to Ci'an Hall, both Zhenghe Hall and Lu Jinzhen's Shuiqing Garden need to be properly repaired. According to the plan, the repairs of these two courtyards will be placed after Fufeng Garden.

However, Fufengyuan had only been working for two days before being stopped by Lu Mingyang.

Not only stopped the repair of Fufeng Garden, but also specifically ordered Su Yunduo to repair the courtyard of the big house first, that is, to properly repair the Zhenghe Hall and the Shuiqing Garden of Lu Jinzhen and Yang Aoqun first.

The reason why Lu Mingyang gave this order was because of Yang Shi.

Lu Da and his wife and Lu Jinzhen and his wife are both in Boni City and can't return to the capital for the time being. Under such circumstances, it is reasonable to repair and expand Lu Jinlin's Fufeng Garden first, but Yang did something stupid and asked the craftsmen to change it without authorization. The confirmed renovation and expansion plan of Fufeng Garden.

The renovation and expansion plan of several courtyards in the mansion had been confirmed and approved by Lu Mingyang in advance, and Yang's privately changed the plan for unknown reasons before Fufeng Garden started construction.

If it was only a minor change, Lu Mingyang would not have confessed to Su Yunduo that he would delay the renovation and expansion of Fufeng Garden. After all, the next biggest happy event in the mansion would be Lu Jinlin's wedding on the eighth day of September, and Fufeng Garden would be repaired and expanded earlier. When it's done, the preparations for the marriage can start slowly.

What made Lu Mingyang annoyed to stop the renovation project of Fufengyuan was because Yang not only changed the renovation and expansion plan of Fufengyuan in private, but also intended to expand the area of ​​Fufengyuan and add a garden to Fufengyuan.

Although Lu Jinlin is only the son of a concubine who came from the third house, there is no obvious distinction between the son and concubine in the Zhen Guogong Mansion. Therefore, the renovation and expansion plan of Fufeng Garden is different from Lu Jinbai's Qinggui Courtyard in terms of location and specifications. no difference.

If it is repaired and expanded according to Yang's privately changed plan, although Lu Jinlin's Fufeng Garden is not as good as Xiaofeng Garden, it is obviously higher than Qinggui Garden and Shuiqing Garden. Anshi couldn't bear it.

Even if the boundaries between the concubine and the concubine are not clear in the Duke's Mansion, it is absolutely impossible to tolerate the third concubine being superior to the eldest and second concubine. To be above the second room, that is after the old couple all closed their eyes.

As long as Sanfang still lives in the Zhen Guogong's mansion, such a thing cannot happen.

When Yang learned that the renovation of Fufengyuan was stopped, she was naturally shocked and angry.

She thought that no one knew about her unauthorized modification of the plan, and naturally she didn't know that it was Lu Mingyang's order to suspend the renovation of Fufeng Garden. cloud theory.

For the day when the renovation and expansion of Fufeng Garden started, Yang felt that Sanfang had suffered unprecedented grievances in the past few months.

Firstly, materials for repairs and expansion were not allowed to enter the mansion, and now they are directly stopped to give way to Dafang.

Is it necessary to urgently repair the two courtyards in Dafang?
The Zhenghe Hall is the main courtyard of the Zhen Guogong Mansion, and it is related to the face of the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion. After the old couple moved out, they should indeed pick up the decorations. Yang has nothing to say, but why is Shuiqingyuan? !

Qingfengyuan was renovated and expanded just before Lu Jinzhen got married. Even if the expansion was not in place due to the rush of time, there is no news of Lu Jinzhen’s family returning to Beijing in Boni City. Since Shuiqingyuan is repaired, it is temporarily unoccupied. , should be leaning back, but now you have to rush ahead of Fufengyuan. Could it be that a courtyard that has been repaired and still has no master to live in is more important than Lu Jinlin's marriage?
Even if the third house is a concubine, then Lu Jinzhen is just a concubine from the big house, so how can he be more noble than Lu Jinlin?

The more Yang thought about it, the more wronged she became. Her repressed temper exploded in an instant, and before she even said a few words when she arrived at Xiaofengyuan, she began to throw a tantrum. My brother cried loudly.

Su Yunduo stroked his forehead and sighed endlessly. Although he felt sorry for Brother Huan who was crying in his arms, he knew that he could not get away to coax Brother Huan at this time, so he had to hand Brother Huan to Bai Zhi first, and let Bai Zhi take Brother Huan first. go down.

Bai Zhi met Su Yunduo when he took Brother Huan as a child, and Su Yunduo shook his head slightly. It is better not to take Brother Huan to the Ci'an Hall now that Brother Huan is in this state.

If Lu Mingyang and An's knew that Yang's scared brother Huan like this, Yang's would definitely have nothing to eat.

Brother Huan is the darling of those two in Ci'an Hall, and he is also a darling who can't bear the slightest bit of grievance!
When Bai Zhi went down with Brother Huan, Su Yunduo picked up the tea on the table and drank it gracefully. As for Yang Shi, let her let her vent.

Su Yunduo knew that suspending the renovation of Fufeng Garden would make Yang's unhappy, but she never thought that Yang would rush directly to Xiaofengyuan to make trouble.

From Yang's scolding, Su Yunduo found that Yang did not understand the root cause of the suspension of the renovation of Fufeng Garden, and accused Su Yunduo of using the power in his hand to suppress the third house, and using his concubines Tell about Sanfang's grievances over the years.

Su Yunduo couldn't help raising his eyebrows, Sanfang's grievance?
Although Sanfang is the only concubine in Zhen Guogong's mansion, is Sanfang really so wronged all these years?
Hearing Yang's accusations, Su Yunduo felt wronged for An's!

In the past, Su Yunduo had only heard about how An's treated his concubine's third wife. Since Su Yunduo married into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, he saw with his own eyes the Duke of Zhen's mansion and An's attitude towards his concubines.

Even if An's was biased, he had never suppressed Sanfang. Compared with other people's concubines, Sanfang really wasn't too happy!

Don't talk about other things, just talk about the division of property. It is considered lucky that the concubines of other people's houses can get a little money. How can they evenly divide the property in the government like the Zhen Guogong's mansion?
Not to mention that the sons and daughters in the mansion enjoy the same treatment regardless of their concubines, especially the sons, as long as they have the ability to enjoy the resources of the mansion evenly regardless of their concubines, what if Lu Tong's official position is higher than that of Lu Tong?
If there are so many grievances mentioned by the Yang family in the third room of the Zhen Guogong's mansion, then can the concubines of other aristocratic families still have a way out?

Seeing that Mrs. Yang was talking too much, Su Yunduo hurriedly motioned for Chen's mother to go down with the waiters in the house.

Chen's mother glanced at Su Yunduo and then at Yang Shi who was still stalking, with a little hesitation and worry on her face, for fear that Yang Shi would be unfavorable to Su Yunduo.

Su Yunduo revealed Chen's mother's hesitation, showed a faint smile, and raised her hand again to Chen's mother.

Mother Chen sighed, and took all the maids out of the house, telling the maids to stay away from the house. She stayed outside the house by herself, and rushed in to help Su Yunduo if the situation was wrong.

Seeing the looming figure of Mother Chen outside the house, Su Yunduo couldn't help but smile.

Although Yang came from a family of military generals, she may have been a bit aggressive and had some kung fu when she was a girl, but she has lived a pampered life in the Zhenguo Mansion for nearly 20 years, and maybe her pungent temperament is still there, but her kung fu has long since been wasted.

If he really spoiled Su Yunduo, Su Yunduo would not be afraid.

Except for the year of pregnancy and confinement, Su Yunduo never let go of Wu Qin Xi. Her current skills should be more than enough to deal with two or three ordinary men.

If Yang Shi wants to do something to her, it will be Yang Shi who will suffer.

Of course, Su Yunduo felt that if Yang Shi wanted to attack her, he would not wait until now.

"Third Aunt, drink some water to moisten your throat." Su Yunduo just watched Yang's crying, and after hearing that Yang's voice was hoarse, he poured a glass of water for Yang.

Maybe it's been a long time, Yang's mind seems a little confused, maybe his throat is really thirsty, seeing the tea that Su Yunduo handed over, Yang took it subconsciously, and only realized after taking two sips There is too much right.

She raised her head and looked at Su Yunduo dumbly. Faced with Su Yunduo's calm and indifferent eyes, Yang felt ashamed and annoyed at once, and threw the tea bowl in her hand to the ground with a "touch", pointing at Su Yunduo and saying: "Tell me, why did you stop Fufengyuan? There is no bully like this!"

Su Yunduo looked at the broken teacup on the ground, his gaze sank.

Although this tea bowl is not expensive, it is one of her and Lu Jinkang's favorite tea sets. If one of the tea sets is broken, the complete tea set will never be complete again.

"Third Aunt asked me why I stopped Fufeng Garden. I can only tell Third Aunt that I am not the one who stopped Fufeng Garden for repair, but my grandfather's own order. If Third Aunt doesn't believe it, she can go to Ci'an Hall to inquire in person. You can inquire in private.

I still have things to do, so Aunt San please go ahead. "Su Yunduo raised the tea bowl in his hand to Yang Shi, and he didn't want to listen to Yang Shi's fuss anymore, expressing his strong intention to see off the guests.

Mother Chen who was standing outside the house heard Su Yunduo's words, immediately lifted the curtain and came in, and said to Yang Shi, "Third Madam, let's go!"

If in the past no matter what, Yang Shi would not be let out of Xiaofeng Garden like this, no matter what, he would have to bring water to wait for Yang Shi to tidy up before sending people out.

But today, Mrs. Yang rushed into Xiaofengyuan without saying a word and made a fuss, frightened brother Huan, and even accused her master of using the power in his hands to suppress the third room, it is really unbearable!
It was fine for Su Yunduo to chase her away, but what she didn't expect was that a servant named Chen's mother would dare to be so unreasonable to her. Yang, who was still angry at first, suddenly became furious, and she reached out to slap Chen's mother.

Naturally, Su Yunduo would not let Yang's slap fall on Chen's mother's face, she stretched out her hand to firmly hold Yang's raised arm, and said calmly, "Third Aunt, this is Xiaofengyuan, not Furongyuan!"

"Okay, okay, you guys, you are bullying me, the third room, you are definitely bullying me, right! Ahhh, this town government mansion can't survive!" Seeing that Su Yunduo actually attacked herself for the slave, Yang's eyes were so angry They were all red, and started howling again, just barely rolling on the ground.

"The Duke of Zhen's mansion can't live, you can go wherever you think you can live!" Suddenly An's majestic voice came from outside.

Yang Shi was shocked at once, and the howling choked in her throat for an instant, causing her to roll her eyes. Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Yunduo strode forward and patted Yang Shi's back to relieve her.

After a heart-piercing cough, Yang lifted up her already smeared face, which immediately drew An's disgust: "Tell me about you, this person who is about to marry a daughter-in-law actually ran away It's really shameful to come to the niece and daughter-in-law's room to make a fuss!"

Yang shi dared to spoil in front of Su Yunduo, but she didn't dare to piss in front of An, and she didn't dare to mention any concubine in front of An. Only Sanfang suffered a disadvantage.

This kind of thing has not happened before!
One of the important reasons why the Yang family agreed to this marriage and married the concubine Lu Tong as a concubine was because the Zhenguo government didn't value the concubine's talents.

At that time, Yang was young, and some things could only be seen on the surface.

Besides, since she married Lu Tong, An's treatment of her seems to be no different from her second daughter-in-law, Fang's daughter-in-law, which made Yang's mentality of comparing with Fang's.

There was a commotion once because An's gift for her and Fang's birthday were somewhat different, and An's gave her a lot of self-government.

Only then did Yang understand that it's not that the Zhen Guo Gongfu has no concubines, and An's heart is not the same for the concubines, it's just that they are more tolerant than other families.

Since then, Yang has restrained a lot, but with the promotion of Lu Tong's official position, Yang's mentality gradually began to swell. On the surface, he is very humble to An, Fang and even Zhao, but he is a little complacent in his heart.

As for Yang's small private actions, as long as they don't break An's bottom line, for the sake of the harmony of the Zhen Guo government, An will just let it go, and even show up to appease Fang who is squeezed by Yang from time to time.

But this time, Yang's unauthorized modification of Fufengyuan's renovation plan not only broke An's psychological bottom line, but also forced Lu Mingyang into a very difficult situation. So after the old couple discussed, they directly stopped the renovation of Fufengyuan, and put Zhenghe Before the renovation of the Tang and Shuiqingyuan was mentioned in Fufengyuan, there was even a plan to let Sifang start construction first.

Yang was embarrassed by what An said, but what was more anxious was that the renovation of Fufeng Garden was stopped.

Although Lu Jinlin's marriage is in September, there are still five months to go, but the rainy season is coming, what should we do if we don't hurry up and delay the wedding?

"Mother, I, I... my daughter-in-law is also forced to do nothing by the big house! Fufengyuan is the yard that Brother Lin will use to get married. Although the divorce period is still five months away, the rainy season is coming, so it is not suitable for groundbreaking at all. .Now Brother Kang’s daughter-in-law has asked Fufengyuan to stop working and gave way to the big house, and Brother Kang’s daughter-in-law is too bullying!” Yang took out a handkerchief and wiped her face indiscriminately, pointing to Su Yunduo and said that she still has three bedrooms wronged.

Although Su Yunduo had clearly told Yang that it was Lu Mingyang's decision to suspend Fufengyuan, Yang did not believe it anyway. After all, a few days ago Lu Mingyang personally called her and Lu Tong to ask about the repair of Fufengyuan .
