wives and concubines

The old man came back at once, walked towards the inner courtyard, and when he reached the door of the eldest wife's house, he stopped walking when he heard the girl's charming laughter inside.

Mother Yao happened to bring shredded chicken porridge from the small kitchen, and when she saw the old man looking at the room in a daze, her heart moved, she went over and said, "The old man is here, and the eighth girl is just here to talk with the wife."

Eight girls?

The old man thought about it, thinking about the news he heard today, he calmed down, told Yao's mother to go in and report, and call the eighth girl away first, so that he can discuss things with the eldest wife.

Upon hearing this, Mother Yao raised her head to look at the Eldest Master's face, saw that it was calm, and then entered the room, and whispered a few words in the Eldest Madam's ear.

When the eldest lady heard that it was the elder who hadn't seen her for many days, she snorted softly, and asked Mother Yao to take Chen Chunli down to get a pair of newly made jade bracelets, and then adjusted her makeup in front of the bronze mirror before she straightened it Sitting on the kang, waiting for the old man to come in.

As soon as the Eldest Master came in and saw the Eldest Wife's yin and yang appearance, he felt a headache and panicked in his heart. Naturally, he did not have a good tone when he spoke.

With a sullen face, he asked the eldest wife if she had chosen a good family for Chen Chunli.

The eldest wife looked at the elder, and said with a grin, "Didn't the master say that it's not my turn to make decisions for the girls of the Chen family. I don't dare to pick someone anymore."

The Elder Master knew that the Eldest Mistress was talking about what happened last time, so he felt uncomfortable and impatient to talk to her, and said calmly: "If that's the case, then there's no need to compare and match, just follow my idea. "

When the eldest lady heard this, she immediately became angry.

Just now I said that, but I was holding my breath. Chen Chunli, she had already planned to marry into Li's family and become a noble concubine.It's also good to share the favor of that dead girl Chen Chunge, so as not to make Chunfang empty.

It is not too much for the master to appoint someone to be an ordinary wife, and to be a second wife in the future, and to appoint a noble concubine himself.

The eldest wife was making wishful thinking in her heart, and unexpectedly the elder came out suddenly, and blurted out: "I have already thought about how it will work."

These days, the Eldest Mistress's intimacy with Chen Chunli, the Eldest Master has not failed to notice, and vaguely guessed what the Eldest Mistress is thinking.

What I just said just now, one is from the heart, I have indeed picked a person, and the other is because I want to try the eldest wife.Seeing the eldest wife so impatiently objecting, the elder's heart slowly cooled down.Asked the eldest wife, "What are your plans?"

What can I plan!

It's not all for the good of Chunfang, for the good of Duanyi, I want to find an obedient past.

The eldest wife muttered a few words in her heart, thinking of the quarrel with the elder in the past few days, she felt that she should try the elder's tone first.With a smile on his face, he asked the old man who he chose.

The old man sat on the other side of the kang, took a sip of tea slowly, and announced a person's name.

"I see Lan Kang, the deputy commander of the Bingma Division, is good and has a lot to do in the future. Let's assign the eighth girl to him."

Deputy Commander of the Army and Horse Division!

Li Jian'an is the minister of the guards, and Lan Kang, the deputy commander of the army and horse department, is Li Jian'an's confidant, and he married the eighth girl to Lan Kang!

The eldest wife suddenly became furious, and said angrily: "Master, they are all the same nieces. You let the thirteenth girl be the wife of the country, but you let the eighth girl marry a sixth-rank military officer. There is no title passed down from the top of the Lan family. Lan Kang is still the Duke's subordinate, you sincerely want the thirteenth girl to step on the eighth girl's head."

The old man held back his anger with a sullen face, and asked the old lady, "Then what do you mean?"

Having said all this, I can only be straightforward.The master wants to win the relationship with the Duke's mansion wholeheartedly, maybe he can make the master understand that sending more girls there will only benefit the Chen family!

The eldest lady thought so in her heart, so she smiled and said: "Master, you said how about we marry Ba Yatou to the Duke's mansion to be a noble concubine?"

"You, say it again." The old man looked at the old lady with the eyes of a madman.

The eldest wife didn't notice it, and she said happily: "I'm just watching, the thirteen girls are married, and they haven't reached the age of Ji, I'm afraid they won't be able to serve the Duke of the country. First marry the eighth girls to be a noble concubine, and in the future they will also be married. Thirteen girl's helper."

The old man stood up with a jerk, patted the kang table, glared at the old lady with bulging veins, and cursed: "What's going on with you recently, you can think of such things."

Well behaved, lost his temper again!

The eldest lady was frightened by the elder, she looked at the elder shyly and angrily and said: "Master, you are just looking at me now, don't you, you have to lose your temper when I say anything, since that's the case, why bother to ask again?" I!"

The old man pointed at the old lady with trembling fingers, almost wanting to slap her.Thinking of the four words "di wife noble", I still held back with difficulty.But the words Aunt Ji said last night kept echoing in her head.

"Master, I think there is something wrong with my wife recently. She is always in a trance when she speaks and does things, and she often loses her temper. My wife was a kind person before. I don't know if it hurt my heart because of my aunt's illness."

When Aunt Ji said this, she still felt that she was taking the opportunity to disrespect the main wife.

Doting on Aunt Ji is a favorite, but the rules in this family must not be messed up. A wife is a wife, and a concubine is a concubine. I will never turn over in my life.

Thinking about this incident, he even warned Aunt Ji a few words, and taught her not to gossip about the royal family.

Now it seems that those words are not all really nonsense.

This hair wife looks really out of her mind.

In one family, four daughters have been married, and they are flat wives and noble concubines. Do you want outsiders to say that their family sold their daughters to please the Duke of the State?

The old man was furious, and cursed: "You still ask, what are you thinking, sending Ba Yatou to be a noble concubine, thank you for thinking!"

The eldest wife said stubbornly: "Didn't I also send the second girl to be a noble concubine at the beginning?"

"That's because Chunfang is the main wife, the wife of the first wife, and the eldest daughter. Chunyuan sent her to be a concubine, which is regarded as following the ancient ritual. Now the thirteen girls are also from the concubine, and they are still from the third room, and the eighth girl is the concubine from the second room. Girl, it's my sister again, you ask her to help the thirteen girls, what do they think when you call the second younger brother and the second younger sibling, what do you think if you call the eighth girl? We wish we could put our whole family and daughters in the Duke's mansion."

Seeing the furious expression of the elder, and thinking of the scene that day, the eldest wife swallowed all the words she wanted to say.

Where there is life, there is hope.

The eldest wife secretly warned herself, but murmured in her heart.

What would Erfang think, Erfang would be overjoyed.It's too late for them to be grateful for letting their daughter marry into the Duke's mansion, and they don't care about their reputation.

These words went around a few turns in her heart, but the eldest lady still didn't say it, she just thought about it in her heart, she must think of another way, the best way is to attract someone to meet Chen Chunli.

Looking at the expression on the eldest wife's face, the elder master knew that she was still determined, and he was panting heavily.I secretly hated that I really shouldn't have come this time, what kind of marriage, just write a letter to tell my second brother to make a decision, why bother to ask a woman what she means, what do women know!

Lan Kang is Li Jian'an's confidant. Although his official position is small, he is a close minister of the emperor. He is naturally the first to know about any news.There is no limit to the future, maybe one day with the expedition, a general will come back.

This is of great benefit to the Chen family!

In the capital city, how many families wanted to marry their daughters to Lankang. If it weren't for the marriage between the Chen family and the Li family, the Lan family might not be willing to marry a concubine.

The old man sighed in his heart, seeing the old lady still sitting on the kang thinking about herself, he simply fell face and went out.

It took a long time for the eldest wife to realize that the elder had left, she sneered and put it aside.

The Elder Master decided on Chen Chunli's marriage by himself, and immediately sent a letter to the second room.

Although Chen Chunli was raised by the second wife, she is still just a concubine, not to mention that she has not yet entered into the marriage of the Duke's mansion. The second master has recently accepted a concubine. The second wife is very anxious, and she is unwilling to leave the second master for Chen Chunli. By your side, give the concubines a chance.So I wrote a letter, saying that I have been feeling unwell recently, and my elder brother has to worry about it. If there is something to do, I will ask my elder brother and sister-in-law to help with the preparations.The meaning in the letter is that he is unwilling to go to Beijing for many years.

Then the third master who went to Beijing to report on his work during the New Year brought eight large boxes, which were counted as the dowry prepared by the second room for Chen Chunli, and a letter of report to the Ministry of Officials.

The elder was full of joy when he saw the third younger brother whom he hadn't seen for many years, and his depressed mood for many days improved a little. He probably guessed the reason why the second room was unwilling to go to Beijing, and he was still dissatisfied with the girl who didn't choose the second room. Don't mention it.

The third wife looked at several newly painted mahogany boxes, but did not open them.It was just that Zhu's mother was asked to find a few strong women to come and lift it. The four women lifted the box lightly one by one. The third wife smiled when she saw it.

The second room made a wishful thinking, and brought these half-empty boxes over. I don't know, seeing such a half-person-high box, I thought it was how many dowries were prepared.In fact, it was nothing more than an empty city plan, not a single piece of land deed, land deed, and the deed paper of the dowry Zhuangzi's shop were seen.
