Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 149 Selecting a concubine's room (3)
Mrs. Tong nodded, and said to the eldest daughter-in-law: "Sure, since everything is ready over there, let's go now." Looking at Yun Wanqin, she thought that she was the daughter of the city, and she knew people and things very well. Proportion, depending on the person, if she went to pick it together, she would definitely be no worse than Fourth Aunt Huang and herself. It's a pity that a girl who hasn't been out of the court, going to a low-level business place like the Shouma Pavilion, doesn't seem very good.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law led the servant girl and went to the skinny horse house in the city.

On the way back to Yingfuyuan, Chu Xia sighed casually: "It's so easy to be quiet, and there are new additions to the family. I heard that Mrs. Bai must be stunned... I don't know what the old ancestors have to choose for the master. You must be more virtuous... But miss, I heard that those skinny horses in the skinny horse house were born to be trained to be concubines of rich people, and they all look as pure as buds, and they are like foxes in their cores. It seems that he is very good at pleasing men..."

Yun Wanqin stopped abruptly, she had one thing on her mind just now, but she didn't want to ask too much, now that Chu Xia mentioned it, she said, "By the way, what's the name of the skinny horse house that grandma and aunt went to? "

"I just heard from the servant girl next to Mrs. Sister-in-law that it seems to be the famous elegant building in the east of the city. Most of the rich families choose maids and concubines to go to that house. The procedures are formal and the appearance is also good." Chu Xia replied.

Elegant building?Yun Wanqin chewed it twice in her mouth and felt relieved.

As long as Bai Xuehui has already entered the Buddhist hall, there will be no people from the previous life in the back house of the Yun family... Unexpectedly, those who should come, may still come.

Yun Wanqin's eyelids twitched: "Whatever you choose, she's just a concubine, she can't let her turn the world upside down."

In the previous life, Bai Xuehui lived a smooth life, was favored alone, and occupied the backyard by himself. In fact, according to his father's manly and flamboyant temperament, it was quite rare to have only one wife and one concubine at that time. The number of concubines ordered by the imperial court was restricted, and taking concubines all over the place would cause dissatisfaction from the superiors. Secondly, it must be said that Bai Xuehui was still very favored at that time, and firmly occupied the man's heart.

Anyway, until the eve of Yun Wanqin's marriage to the Marquis's Mansion, Yun Xuanchang did not take concubines or housemates anymore.

After marrying into the Hou's Mansion, Bai Xuehui often brought her daughter to visit her. There was a time when Bai was pregnant with her second child. Yun Wanqin saw that her face was a little gloomy when she came to the Hou's Mansion, so she asked the servants who accompanied her. Only then did I know that my father couldn't hold back when Bai Shi was pregnant, and bought a girl in the Shouma House. At first, he just said that he bought it as a servant girl, and later he secretly adopted that girl without telling Bai Shi, and he was still so fascinated. So much so that Bai Shi was ignored.

The buyer's restaurant is Yazhilou.

According to father's temperament, it's not the first time that he cheated on his wife's room when she was pregnant. , the new second concubine was very favored, and Yun Xuanchang stayed with the newcomer almost every night.

And that second concubine, although she is young, is very sensible and well-behaved, low-key and non-competitive, she bows down to Mrs. Bai and Aunt Fang, just like a servant girl. There, Yunxuanchang Lianai was even more so, and the servants in the backyard all said that this second aunt was a bit like the Bai family when she was young, and even surpassed the Bai family.

Originally, Yun Wanqin didn't think much of this second aunt who came in after she got married, it was just that there was an extra woman in her father's backyard, and she was born as a skinny horse with an extremely low status.Even if Yun Wanqin was still in the boudoir, she didn't care about it, let alone married out. Until later, Yun Wanqin suspected that her body was not innately infertile, so she asked Chu Xia to check it out, only to find out that her stepmother had been in her body for a long time. Before she left the court, she started drugging herself. Later, Chu Xia said that she had no idea at the beginning. Later, someone sent a message anonymously, saying that she was asking her to find the nurse and cook who used to serve Yun Wanqin in Yunfu. After such a follow-up investigation, I found out that there was something wrong with the tonic that Bai Xuehui gave her before marriage.

The person who sent the message anonymously, Yun Wanqin didn't pursue it much in her previous life, and took advantage of the time left to take revenge before it was too late... Now that I think about it, it must be someone from the back house of the Yun family, Aunt Fang was afraid of the Bai family, and in her previous life Knowing that she was feeding him poison, in order to protect himself, he didn't dare to say anything.

So, who else?

After thinking about it, it is very likely that it is the second aunt who everyone says is docile and uncontested?

If calculated in this way, this second concubine is not necessarily a good person, she really is the same as the young Bai Xuehui, with a turbulent desire to be superior, and wants to use herself to trip up the wife.

It's just that the second aunt didn't expect that the way for the eldest girl to get revenge was not to complain to her natal family crying, but to simply collect evidence, file a court case, and ask her natal family and husband's family to be buried with her!

Recalling this point, Yun Wanqin withdrew her thoughts, although she had never met that second aunt, but just by listening to her ears, she knew that this aunt's method of writhing was not inferior to Bai Xuehui's. Well, the second aunt is like a lotus flower in the deep valley in everyone's mouth, it looks non-toxic and harmless, and it is even more impossible for people to guard against it.

If that second aunt really wants to enter the house again in this life, it is indeed what Chu Xia was worried about. The Bai family has just stopped for a while, and I am afraid that another one will jump up. I really don't know if I can be at peace.

But as a daughter, if her father and grandmother really want to add new people, she can't stop it explicitly.

On the eve of dusk, word came from the West Courtyard that Mrs. Tong and Fourth Aunt Huang had returned from the Slim Horse House and asked the eldest girl to go and have a look.

After going to the west courtyard, as soon as the curtain was opened, Mrs. Tong was sitting cross-legged on the kang, seeing Yun Wanqin, she smiled and waved: "Sister Qin is here, come here."

Yun Wanqin went over and bowed and said, "Grandma."

After sitting down, Mrs. Tong smiled and said, "Grandma and your aunt picked out a few girls in the Shouma Pavilion today. They all look fresh, and I don't know which one is better. I have already placed an order with Mama Liu. Tell them to enter the main courtyard to get familiar with them, and then they will be trained, and then one will be promoted from the inside, and if they are not good, then they will be treated as maidservants, you come just in time, you have good eyesight, show grandma and give her advice." He said. , and ordered the maid to bring the man up.

After a while, the servant girl led the three women up.

The girls in the Slender Horse House are not very old, so they are called concubines, usually to cater to the customers' desire for young women. Most of them are only thirteen or fourteen, and there are quite a few around ten years old. They must be innocent in body, handsome and clean, and flexible in mind. After entering the skinny horse house, they began to learn how to play, play, sing, write poems and songs, and specialize in how to please men. place.

Many big families bought it, just like the Tong family, they first served as maidservants by their side to train them, and slowly, when the master became happy, they would take over the house and then raise their status.
