wives and concubines

When the fourth lady was flattered by Hu Po and entered the room, she saw the fifth lady sitting on the right side of the kang, talking to Chun Ge with a smile on her face, so she hummed softly.

Chunge raised her head and saw the fourth lady staring at the seat of the fifth lady, she smiled knowingly.

When Fei Cui inquired about the news earlier, she came back and said that because the fourth wife is the main wife of a concubine's son, she is very respectful to everyone at home on weekdays.Mrs. Tai also said that Mrs. Fourth was able to help the housekeeper, but she was too soft-tempered.

Looking at it now, that might not be the case, I'm afraid he is a master who sees people order dishes.

According to the rules, when the fifth lady sees the fourth lady approaching, she should stand up and sit down on the armchair below, giving up her seat on the kang.

The fifth lady didn't move at all.

The fourth lady's eyes spewed fire.

Chun Ge sighed in her heart, looking at this picture, these two people have made up their minds that no one will let the other go.

Or, just want to try to test their own attitude.

Much ado about nothing.

Chun Ge asked Hu Po and Fei Cui to go to the small flower hall next to them to serve snacks, and looked at the fourth and fifth wives with a smile and said: "Although it is warm to sit on the kang, it is still the beginning of spring after all. It is inevitable to sit for a long time." It's too hot. Let's go to the flower hall to talk for a while."

With that said, he stood up and went to the small flower hall first.

The fourth lady moved her mouth, realizing that Chunge meant that no one wanted to offend, she cast a sideways glance at the fifth lady, followed her, and sat on Chunge's left.

The fifth lady's triangular eyes were suddenly full of gloom, she snorted and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, the fifth lady said, "Little sister-in-law, the two sister-in-laws of my natal family have already told me that they want my nieces to come and learn embroidery from you. You must give me a hand today." Just a word will do."

The fifth lady's natal family is Jibei Deng's family.It can be regarded as a rich family for many generations, but when I arrived in Beijing, I overheard the eldest wife gossiping with other wives.

The Deng family was in decline, and because they saw that other people's business was good, they used their power to forcefully marry their daughters as concubines, and even asked them to send the shop as a dowry.

Such a family may not be able to produce a few polite and sensible people.But I haven't figured out the situation in Li's house yet, so I must not cause trouble.

Chun Ge shook his head and said modestly: "I only know a little bit, it's really not good to delay the two daughters of the Deng family."

The fifth lady had already sullenly said: "What are you talking about, little sister-in-law? Your craft was taught by Nanny Li! You have taught me so many years, and you clearly don't want to give me this face. Already." There was a hint of persecution in the words.

"Your embroidery skills were passed down by Nanny Li?"

When the fifth lady heard the question from the fourth lady, she immediately said triumphantly: "Is it possible that the fourth sister-in-law doesn't know that the embroidery work of the third sister-in-law is a masterpiece, and she is a close disciple of Madam Li."

"Little third sister-in-law is really amazing." The fourth lady said this with a complicated expression, looking at Chunge with weird eyes.

Unexpectedly, the real person still does not show his face.

It turned out that there was this reliance behind it.

At first, I thought that Wufang just wanted to throw stones to ask for directions, and win over the relationship between her natal family and Chen Chunge.Now it seems that it really means to send my niece to learn the craft.

The fourth lady secretly scolded the fifth lady in her heart for being a fool!

If there is such a good thing, of course, he should be close to his girl first.

In the fifth room, there is Si Niang, a daughter from the first wife, and Qiniang and Ba Niang, two concubines.

Even if you don't feel sorry for the daughter born by your aunt, you always have to take care of your own, but you just want to help your natal family.

The sister-in-law who is in charge of her natal family wants to please her, but her daughter has the embroidery skills handed down by Jinxiu Pavilion, and she will be able to support her when she makes a good marriage in the future.

Since Wufang's idiot didn't mention it, since he knew about it, he must find a way to send Erniang over.

The fourth lady felt sad when she thought that Erniang was a 13-year-old girl from the fourth house of the Duke's mansion, and she hadn't married yet.

The people who came to propose marriage were either the concubine sons of big families or the concubine sons of declining families. It would be embarrassing to say that the family was so poor.

I am a concubine, and the person I marry is also a concubine, but Er Niang is a serious concubine!

If there is a signboard of the successor of the Jinxiu Pavilion, then those who look at him will definitely regret it!

The fourth madam made up her mind, and hurriedly approached and said: "Fifth brother and sister, according to me, what you said is muddled."

The fifth lady never looked down on the fourth lady, the concubine's daughter-in-law, but was ordered to help the housekeeper.

Now hearing what the Fourth Madam said, she raised her eyebrows and said, "You say I'm confused."

Chun Ge is next to him, drinking tea with his head down.

This fifth lady is really...

It's still people like the Fourth Madam who need to be wary, but let's take another look.

Chun Ge watched the fifth madam and fourth madam fighting in silence with a smile.

Seeing that the fifth lady acted like you were determined to tell a truth, the fourth lady put on her sister-in-law's airs and taught her a lesson: "The craftsmanship of the Jinxiu Pavilion is something that ordinary people can learn. Is it possible that you haven't heard of it? She is the Princess Princess of the capital, and she would not be able to invite Madam Li normally."

Chun Ge saw the Fourth Madam looking at her out of the corner of her eye when she was talking, so she pulled her lips into a smile, guessing that the Fourth Madam would have something to say later.

Sure enough, the Fourth Madam saw Chun Ge's smile, so she changed the subject and said, "Even if the third sister-in-law teaches privately, if she doesn't use the name of Nanny Li, there is still a close relative. If there are so many girls in our Li family, don't you train them well first?" , why do you want to teach the girls of the Deng family first!"

The fifth lady is anxious, which means that she only cares about her mother's family, not the Li family!

A bitch from a concubine, the housekeeper in the past, when he took things from Li's father-in-law back to support his mother's family, why didn't he talk like this.

But now he is doing this to exclude himself.

Fifth Madam stood up and wanted to lose her temper.

The fourth lady looked at her like this, not worried at all, and discussed with Chun Ge while sitting down.

"Little sister-in-law, you must have a good rest these few days. I think you can tell the day, so I can go and tell the nurses of the girls to bring the girls here according to the time." After looking at Chunge's room for a while, he frowned and said, "Your place is quite spacious. I'm afraid there are too many people, and I still feel a little nervous. I'd better go and tell my mother to tidy up a small courtyard and come out."

Words came out like a cannonball, as if everything had been arranged properly.

Fifth Madam, has been shocked.

Chun Ge just thought it was funny, so she looked at the fourth lady with a smile, but there was a cold light in her eyes.

Talking to herself like this, I'm afraid that the fourth lady is not only here to send Erniang to learn embroidery art, but also wants to beat herself, and give a blow to her before she has a firm foothold.

Whatever happened, I hadn't said anything yet, it was all arranged by the fourth lady.From now on, how can I stand up in the Li family!

Seeing Chun Ge's half-smile, the fourth lady's heart skipped a beat, and she felt bad.

I was a little impatient, and only cared about facilitating this matter.Thinking of sending all the girls here together, Chen Chunge couldn't refuse, let alone pointing out Mrs. Tai, if she didn't agree, she just didn't care about the future of the girls from the Li family.

Such charges are being held.

But he forgot to try this Chen Chunge's temperament first.

There is no such simple person who can make the Duke like him so much.

The fourth lady secretly regretted her impatience, and immediately changed the subject, and asked Chunge respectfully, "I don't know how I arranged this, but you think it's okay." say.

In Chun Ge's heart, alarm bells rang out.

This fourth lady is too good at looking at people's faces, and she is too flexible.

Such people must be guarded against.

Since the other party took a step back, it's not a big deal, and I should take a step back first.

Chunge also stood up, took the hand of the fourth lady, and said affectionately: "We are sisters-in-law, what are you doing like this?" Then she turned around and led the fifth lady who was completely confused to sit down.

"I'm at home, and I'm also an idler with nothing to do. If the girl at home wants to learn embroidery from me, please accompany me. Of course I'm very happy, but it's only the last half month, but I can't."

While speaking, Chunge glanced at the embroidery frame behind, Hu Po understood, and immediately went over to hold the black bamboo picture.

Chun Ge touched the embroidered surface, and saw that the fifth lady and the fourth lady were all amazed, with a faint blush on her face, she said: "It will be warm soon, the Duke told me this morning, I want a piece embroidered with ink bamboo." The spring shirt of the picture."

The Fourth Madam and the Fifth Madam came to understand immediately, laughing and joking with Chun Ge.

Chunge's head lowered lower and lower, and on the fair skin, there was a patch of red.

It happened that there was a mother-in-law outside calling back, saying that the steward of the outer court had come to pass the news that the Duke would have dinner here today.

Hear the string song and know the elegant meaning.

As shrewd as the Fourth Madam, she immediately stood up and said that there was still something to do, and she would come to talk another day.

Fifth Madam also said a few gossips immediately, and left in a hurry.

Looking at the back of the two people leaving, Chunge let out a long breath, lowered his head and stroked the delicate embroidered face in his hand, feeling a little depressed in his heart.

Apart from Li Jian'an, I really have no support in this family.

If Li Jian'an hadn't let him embroider such an ink and bamboo picture on a whim before leaving this morning, I'm afraid that the fourth and fifth wives would not be so afraid today, nor would they leave without getting any promises.

Never lie...

Chun Ge felt that she lacked interest, and thought that Li Jian'an was coming to eat, so she simply took Hu Po and Hong Yu to the small kitchen of Meixiang Courtyard.

Sometimes, making delicious food with delicious flavor is also a good way to adjust your mood.

The card written in this chapter is a bit slow, everyone forgive me, I am just afraid of procrastination...
