suspected wife

Yongzhou Tongzhifu.

In the flower hall of the inner courtyard, a richly dressed lady was lecturing.

There are several beautiful women standing on the bottom.There are boys or girls standing next to each of them, and one or two are standing alone with their hands down.

Mrs. Lou, the third wife of Zheng, was sitting with her eyes closed, sweeping down the hall.

After half a cup of tea, Fang Qikou said: "Sit down. It's early in the morning, and the children probably haven't slept enough yet."

The row of people standing below all breathed a sigh of relief, and each found a seat and sat down.

Mrs. Zheng San glanced at Liu's side, her gaze was on her well-maintained face, and she had to admit that her husband had loved her a lot in the past ten years, and it was not without reason.

He lowered his head and said to the ten-year-old boy sitting beside her: "Feng'er, go and pay your respects to your aunt. It's not in vain that she gave birth to you."

Seeing her own son walking towards her, Liu Meiniang was taken aback.Standing up hurriedly, he said: "Madam, you are trying to break Mei Niang's life. Master Feng has been raised by Madam's side since birth, just like Madam's own. How dare maids and concubines accept gifts from Master Feng."

Seeing that his aunt stopped him from letting him attend the ceremony, Zheng Yufeng looked at his aunt who was seated in embarrassment.

When Mrs. Lou saw Mrs. Liu going up the road, she felt comforted in her heart, and her face softened a little.

Said to Zheng Yufeng: "Even if your aunt never raised you, don't forget that she gave birth to you."

Zheng Yufeng said yes, bowed his hands to Liu Meiniang, saw Liu Meiniang hiding sideways, glanced at her, and returned to Lou's side.

Lou hugged him in his arms.Rubbing and stroking, asking him lovingly if he slept well last night and how long he was studying, Zheng Yufeng also answered them one by one.

A scene of motherly kindness and filial piety.

Liu Meiniang watched secretly, not revealing anything on her face, but a vat of bitter water was brewing in her heart.

Her own son was taken away just after he was born, and was raised by Lou Shi who gave birth to three daughters.In the past ten years, she has never been close to this son.Feng'er is also very strange to her.

Fortunately, the Lou family loves Zheng Yuan's eldest son very much, since he was brought here, he has raised him like his own child.

And since Liu Meiniang gave birth to her child, she seldom saw her son a few times a year.

It was only after Brother Yue was appointed in Beijing that the Zheng family took her back to the inner courtyard.And Lou Shi is also when she goes to pay her respects every day.Let her see Feng'er.

It's just that every time she sees her son acting like a baby in Lou's arms, her heart feels sore and astringent.

Seeing Lou's love for Feng'er, she was happy.It can be seen that Feng'er is alienated from her, and she is sad and sad.

He wanted to see his son, but he thought about it badly.I don't know if he is eating well or not, and whether he is warmly dressed.Have you kicked the quilt at night?

A loving mother's heart was crushed into several petals.

Fortunately, she later gave birth to two more daughters.Now the two daughters are allowed to be raised by her side, and they live in the same yard with her. They usually accompany her to relieve boredom, and to some extent relieve some of her melancholy.

Liu Meiniang looked at the two daughters sitting next to her, one was eight years old and the other was six years old, they were at the age of innocence.Even though Zheng Yuan has many daughters.The two daughters he raised are also very popular with him.

Liu Meiniang was thinking wildly when she heard a woman come in and say, "Third Madam, the Eldest Master and the Eldest Madam ordered someone to bring a New Year's gift."

Mrs. Lou hummed and took the order.

After scanning it, he threw it on the desk beside him, and hummed: "The old man found him the magistrate of a wealthy county in the south of the Yangtze River, but take a look, what kind of things are sent back every year!"

The few aunts and concubines below all lowered their heads when they heard this.Based on their identities, they dare not talk about the eldest son whom the old man placed high hopes on.

Lou was quite angry.

Her mother-in-law gave birth to two sons, and the eldest son's father-in-law found him the magistrate of Fufu County, but her husband Zheng Yuan could not study well.But fortunately, he still has some talents in business, and he has been in charge of the Zheng family's property these years.But in terms of status, he is always inferior to Mr. Zheng.Now that the father-in-law and mother-in-law are in the hall, the annual gift given to the grand master and his wife is getting less and less.

Mrs. Lou took the gift list and looked at it carefully, then glanced at Mrs. Liu, and said, "That's all, it's not as good as the gift Mrs. General Yue gave Aunt Liu a few days ago."

Liu Meiniang heard Lou's words, raised her head to look at Lou, and saw several aunts looking at her with envy, feeling quite proud.

Brother Yue thought that his father had saved his life. Over the years, Brother Yue and his sister-in-law gave New Year gifts to his natal family every year.Don't forget to give yourself a copy every year.

She knew that Brother Yue Mingli was helping her, so that her life in her husband's house would not be too sad.

She is grateful.

Over the years, with her patronage and subsidies from brother Jingliyue and his sister-in-law, his natal family also bought some land.Relying on those renters, he also confessed his younger brother.

It's just that after the younger brother won the Juren, he stopped moving forward.Originally Brother Yue also wanted to help him find an official position, but his mother said that his brother was weak and afraid that he would not be able to bear the ups and downs of the officialdom.

Later, my younger brother took a teaching position in an academy in Qingchuan.She was educating people, and later married the teacher's daughter. Now the mother takes care of the grandson at home. The family is happy and happy, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing.

And she has won the care of Brother Yue, and the old lady and Mrs. Lou in the mansion also think highly of her.

After taking her back to the mansion from outside, the people in the mansion did not make things difficult for her. She lives alone with her two daughters in a small yard, which is quite comfortable.

Liu Meiniang was thinking about it when she heard Lou's complaint, and handed the gift slip back to the woman just now, saying: "Send it to the old lady to see."

The old woman went away in response.

Lou sighed.Now, although her in-laws let her hold the gift, she doesn't dare to make decisions about the annual gift that her uncle gets back.

Fortunately, her natal family is a wealthy family, and her dowry is rich. These years, her husband has been in charge of the general affairs of the Zheng family, and her father-in-law has also been promoted from Qingchuan county magistrate to Yongzhou magistrate. Now the family does not lack the annual gift from the big house.

After sitting for a while, Mrs. Lou led the three concubine daughters and several concubine children to greet the old lady.And Liu Meiniang and the aunts went back to their respective courtyards.

When Liu Meiniang was leaving.Looking back at Feng'er, who was pulling Lou Shi with a cheerful face, her small face was delicate and delicate, and she was smiling at the moment, and she didn't know what she said to Lou Shi, which made Lou Shi laugh out loud. He kneaded and touched.Lou's three daughters were also amused.

Liu Meiniang looked at it, and the corners of her mouth twitched upwards.She didn't turn her head until Lou took Feng'er around the corner and disappeared.

Aunt Feng who was standing next to her glanced at her with disdain.Said: "Hmph, my hard-earned son was given away for nothing."

Liu Meiniang glanced at her, then at her son standing next to her, and said to her with a smile: "He is raised by my side, it's great that he takes the name of a concubine's eldest son, but he can be raised by Madam's side. The eldest son, I can still tell the difference between good and bad. And some people want to send their son to Madam, I am afraid Madam will not want it."

After finishing speaking, without looking at Feng's face that turned blue with anger, he dragged his two daughters away.

In Tongzhi's mansion, it was almost the twelfth lunar month, and all the flowers had already faded away.It's just that Xiao Suo is not seen.Pavilions, terraces and pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings.The rockery boulder is very magnificent.

Compared with her home before she got married, her previous home was like a den of beggars.

Seeing her marrying into such a family, and seeing her enduring favor, others often cast envious eyes on her.She only knows that whether her husband Zheng Yuan, the old master, the old lady, etc., are just looking at Brother Yue's face.

Zheng Yuan had several concubines.Lou's appearance is not bad either, she is fat and thin.If it wasn't for Brother Yue, maybe she would still be kept outside, as a shady outer room.

When she was young, she thought it would be good to be a concubine, without having to set rules in front of the mistress, and be free.But later, when she had children, she knew that the children born outside the room were not as good as the concubine's children.

She can't let her child be unable to hold her head up in the future, and she can't let her two daughters be unable to marry in the future.

When her Feng'er was born, she was carried back to the house by Zheng Yuan, and handed over to Lou, who was unable to give birth to a son, to raise her.

She was sad and heartbroken at the time, but when she thought that her son could be raised as a legitimate son, she let her son be taken away.

Later, she gave birth to two daughters in a row. Just as she was thinking about how to squeeze into the house, brother Yue was promoted step by step.

Without her planning, Zheng Yuan got his father's order and personally took her mother and daughter back to the house.Created a genealogy for the two daughters.

Over the years, Brother Yue and his sister-in-law gave her natal family New Year's gifts and money every year, and they did not forget to bring her a little.Every time the old man saw someone coming from the general's mansion, he would personally order someone to settle the steward who came to the general's mansion, and every time he asked Mrs. Lou to return a generous reward.

With the attitude of the old man there, the mother and daughter are doing pretty well.And Zheng Yuan will always come to her yard for a few days in a month.

After her natal family got better, every time her mother came back to see her, she would always hold her and cry, saying that she shouldn't be made someone else's concubine.I don't regret it after asking her all the time.

Regret?

I regret it.

Although in Zheng's family, she had a pretty good life, but the concubine's room is the concubine's room, and she was detained in the house all year round, and the gate was never left. The flowers bloomed and thanked, and she didn't know What has become of the outside.

And the son born by himself cannot be raised by his side.Although Lou's family didn't treat her and her two daughters harshly, concubines are just concubines, and there would be no place for concubines like them in the mansion for banquets.It will never be Liu Meiniang who stands by Zheng Yuan's side.

If she had insisted a bit more at the beginning, not to be dazzled by the wealth of the Zheng family, and clinging to Brother Yue, and now he has achieved great success, would she still be able to wear Zhenghong, wear gold and emerald, and go out to visit friends and entertain guests?

Brother Yue is now the fourth rank.Moreover, Brother Yue is not yet in his forties, and his father-in-law has already said that Brother Yue has a bright future in the future.

She was so envious of that woman named Qiao Mingjin.I thought that her status was not as good as her own, but she suddenly became the eldest daughter of a famous family!Accompanying her husband to work hard in the capital, she is now the wife of the emperor.

And she is still nesting in this square well day after day and year after year.

In the next life, if there is another life, even if you marry into a farmhouse and become a peasant woman who worries about food every day, you will no longer be envious of this fleeting wealth.

In the next life, she will definitely be the original wife. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
