wives and concubines

Hearing Chun Ge's tone, Tong's mother just sighed, glanced at Rui Niang, and said nothing again.

The expression on Rui Niang's face showed struggles, she stirred the handkerchief in her hand, raised her head timidly and said tentatively: "Mother, I want to take Granny Yuan there, and I also want to take two pieces of green leaves and grass together. indivual."

Although she had no idea who Ruiniang was talking about, Chunge nodded with a smile, and looked at Ruiniang encouragingly.

Rui Niang gradually became more courageous, and continued: "My mother, she..." Just after she said three words, there was already panic on her face. Then he hurriedly changed his words: "My aunt also had a dowry at the beginning, and when she was gone, my grandmother gave me all the deeds of sale for those people. I want to take my aunt's companion over there, and for the rest, I don't need to add anyone else. gone."

After speaking, he looked at Chunge with hope and fear.

Such an expression reminds Chunge of herself who was planning hard at the beginning.

Chun Ge felt sore, she patted Niang Niang's hand, and said with a smile: "I've just been a housekeeper, and I don't know where these people are now, wait until I ask them what they are doing now, and then ask them what they mean. Although it is up to the master to arrange what the slave will do and where he will go, but a twisted melon is not sweet after all. Don’t you think so?”

Back then, Chen Chunyuan married as a noble concubine, so there should be several companion rooms, but Chen Chunyuan has been dead for so many years.Those people came from the Chen family. After all, who knows who they are willing to live with now?

if……

In Chun Ge's eyes, there was a gloomy look.

Rui Niang hesitated at first, then nodded obediently.

Seeing Chunge, she secretly smiled in her heart.

It seemed that he had lost his eye earlier.This girl was trained by Mrs. Tai since she was a child, so she is also somewhat shrewd.

It's just that, as a concubine, she can only keep her head down and keep her head down.

It's just too timid and too sensitive.

Chun Ge chatted a few more gossips with Rui Niang, let her eat some cakes, and then asked Hu Po to send her back to Mrs. Tai.

As soon as Ruiniang left, Mama Tong immediately looked at Chunge with dissatisfaction and said, "What are you doing, how can you just open your mouth and say such nonsense."

Of course, Chunge was referring to what the nonsense Mama Tong was talking about, and she said with a somewhat sad expression: "I don't tell the truth, how can Ruiniang tell me what's in my heart?"

Before Mama Tong could speak again, Chun Ge said disconsolately: "Mom, don't blame me, I just looked at Rui Niang and thought of myself, and my heart softened for a while."

Mother Tong looked at the Yuyu hidden in Chunge's eyebrows, and sighed distressedly, but she still didn't speak again.

After a long while, he said: "I know you have good intentions, I will go to the front to inquire about those people, and I will tell you when I get it right."

Chun Ge hummed, sat there, stared out of the window in a daze, and didn't say anything about breakfast.

When Mama Tong and Hongyu saw each other, they all quietly went out to run errands.

It wasn't until sunset that Mama Tong, Hongyu, and Feicui came back with their inquiries.

"Green leaves and green grass were given by Mrs. Tai back then to the eldest girl. The eldest girl was sent to Shuiyue Nunnery to post her name at the age of three. It was their two servant girls who followed them to serve and have been with them until now. Granny Yuan was transferred to the west chamber. The woman in charge was originally working in the kitchen. Later, when the fourth wife was helping the housekeeper, she arranged for Granny Yuan to go there. I just heard that Granny Yuan's son made a mistake and was about to be expelled from the house because he was pregnant. Little Aunt Chen begged for mercy, so she kept Granny Yuan's son."

"Back then, some of Aunt Chen's companions were doing rough work in the village, and some were responsible for cleaning. There were only two good-for-nothing ones, one named Wang Dali, who worked as a steward in a shop on Qianmen Street. , a man named Zhou Ping'an is in charge of the purchases in the inner courtyard."

After listening to such a lot of bits and pieces, Chun Ge has a little understanding in his heart.

Granny Yuan and Luye Qingcao, one received Chen Chunyuan's kindness, and the other two were sent by Mrs. Tai, so they should be more appropriate and at ease.

Since Chen Chunyuan's dowry back then was not going well, if he followed the past and stayed in the Li family, he shouldn't have any complaints.

It's just Wang Dali and Zhou Ping'an.

When Ruiniang marries into the Gu family, there must be someone to help manage the dowry shop and Zhuangzi. If there are not two competent people, I'm afraid it won't work.

But Wang Dali and Zhou Ping'an have been able to get into this position in the past few years, who knows who is helping behind them.

People may not be willing to move their seats.

What a headache.

Ask other people to help, not to mention whether Rui Niang can believe it or not, Chen Chunfang and the Fourth Madam have been running the house for so many years, and they can't pick anyone out.

I'm afraid that at that time, no matter how much Li Jian'an subsidizes Rui Niang's dowry, it will become empty.

How can this be good?

Chun Ge stroked his forehead, and then ordered: "You pick a day and bring Wang Dali and Zhou Ping'an to me, and we will meet first."

Madam Tong responded, and gave Chun Ge another idea, "If Ma'am feels embarrassed, why don't you find Mrs. Tai, or ask the Duke's intentions tonight, so that you can help choose some suitable people. "

Chun Ge suddenly raised her head with a smile and said angrily: "What is Mom talking about? Although the Duke said that he and Mrs. Tai can help. But these things, now that the eldest sister is ill, I should have taken care of them. If everything I have to disturb Mrs. Tai and the Duke of the country, I am not too leisurely."

Mama Tong was startled, and immediately came back to her senses.

I am really confused.

Mistress, mistress, should take care of these things.

No matter how much the Grand Duke loves his wife, there is no reason for him to want a useless wife as his mistress.

A look of guilt appeared on his face, and he muttered: "Ma'am, I was wrong."

Chun Ge waved her hand, telling Mama Tong not to worry.

There will be more of these trivial things in the future.Just be careful with every step.

The most important thing is to live life with Li Jianan's thoughts in mind.

Li Jian'an is the only one I can rely on now, just like Rui Niang, even if the person she marries is a fool, she can only regard him as her only warmth.
