Concubine

Chapter 90
"Ah~!!" Yang Qiuchi's shock was no small matter, Bai Sumei?The young woman who saved her life three times?No, she's a widow now.Yang Qiuchi immediately thought of Bai Sumei, is he about to become his bride?A concert suddenly started in my head, with all kinds of sounds, and it became a mess.

In terms of talent and appearance alone, Bai Sumei is beautiful, gentle and virtuous, but she refuses to expose her husband and father-in-law, which is unreasonable. If this is the so-called "virtue" of ancient women, then she has played it to the extreme. As a matter of fact, I can't flatter myself about this "virtue".It is somewhat terrifying to have such a concubine serving her.

However, even though it was an expedient measure to save someone by *passing* her* in public, but after all, she had skin relatives, and now that she was a widow, she wanted to marry her as a concubine, how could she refuse?His father is the leader of the sixth rank of Yingtian Mansion, Qian Zong, a national division-level leading cadre.If I don't know how to turn my face, I can't eat and walk around.Hey~!Anyway, I have already taken in a concubine. I received a lot of money last time, so I don’t have to worry about running out of money now. As soon as Ma Du enters Beijing to recommend him, maybe I will become a high-ranking official. After becoming a high-ranking official, there will be three It doesn't matter if you have a wife or four concubines, and it doesn't matter if you donate one.It can be regarded as being responsible to others, who made me so happy to kiss and touch at the beginning.Now is the time to pay the price.

Yang Qiuchi straightened out his thinking, reluctantly said: "If this is the case...that's fine."

When Matchmaker Wang heard this, she was so happy that the fat on her face shook wildly: "What did I say! Young Master Yang is the most reasonable, and he knew that this should be done in this way. Just now, my mother-in-law was worried that Young Master Yang would not agree. Lah! My mother-in-law and the young master both agree that it’s good, and my matchmaker Wang has made another marriage! Hehehe! My mother-in-law and Young Master Yang, shall we go to Mr. Bai Qian’s house with lamb, hehuan, or Jiahe and glue paint? , or simply buy a wild goose to look more solemn, do you think it would be good?"

Hearing this, Feng Xiaoxue lay down on the back of the chair, sobbing and crying.

Yang Qiuchi was a little puzzled. When Feng Xiaoxue was jealous of Qin Zhihui last time, she wasn't so sad. Marrying one is also marrying, and marrying two is also marrying. What's there to cry about?Just as she was about to go over to comfort her, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Just now, the matchmaker Wang said what kind of lambs, mates, and even wild geese. What do you want these things for?The concubine didn't ask for these things last time.

Yang Qiuchi looked at his mother suspiciously, and Yang's mother glanced at Feng Xiaoxue, and then sighed again.Still don't speak.Yang Qiuchi turned his head and asked Matchmaker Wang, "What do you want these things for?"

"Natce!" Matchmaker Wang said with a smile.

ah?At first hearing this word, Yang Qiuchi was a little confused.

In ancient times, a marriage had to go through a total of six steps: accepting, asking for name, accepting, accepting, asking for a date, and welcoming.This acceptance is the first step, that is, the man's family invites a matchmaker to propose marriage to the woman's family. After the woman's family agrees, the man's family prepares gifts and invites the matchmaker to propose marriage.The standard gift they give is wild geese, because geese are migratory birds, and they follow the yin and yang, which symbolizes the marriage of men and women in accordance with yin and yang. Later, it may be out of environmental protection considerations that they are replaced by lambs, hehuan, Jiahe, rubber paint, etc. It is used to symbolize the harmonious and firm relationship between husband and wife.

Yang Qiuchi was stunned for a moment, and finally came to his senses: "Nacai? Isn't Nacai a etiquette for marrying a wife?..."

Seeing her husband's dumbfounded look, Qin Zhihui came over and pulled him aside: "You still don't understand? Mr. Bai Qian wants you to divorce sister Xiaoxue and marry his daughter Bai Sumei!"

"Divorce?! Why?" Yang Qiuchi seemed to have been slapped in the head, no wonder Feng Xiaoxue was crying there, thinking she was jealous.

"That still doesn't understand!" Qin Zhihui seemed to be looking at a big monster, "Mr. Bai Qian doesn't want his daughter to marry as a concubine. The 500 taels of silver on the table was given by Mr. Bai Qian to Sister Xiaoxue as compensation."

Feng Xiaoxue cried even more desolately.Qin Zhihui glanced at Yang Qiuchi sadly, then turned and walked to Feng Xiaoxue's side: "Sister Xiaoxue, don't be sad, my husband is not that kind of person."

Feng Xiaoxue raised her tearful eyes and looked at Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi now understands that this Bai Qian always wants to marry his daughter to him, but his daughter is the daughter of an official family, and his father is the chief executive of Yingtian Mansion, how can he take his daughter as his concubine!He can't afford to lose this face.So he let himself divorce his wife and marry his daughter.

Although Feng Xiaoxue has a dark spot on her face, she is not as good as Bai Sumei in terms of appearance and family, but Feng Xiaoxue is the disobedient wife who borrowed her body to bring back her soul, and if she borrows her husband's body to revive her soul, she is now her own wife. He promised to let her live a good life, but now that the good life has just begun, he divorced her. If he does this, is he still a person?
But this matter has to be calm, don't be in a hurry, Yang Qiuchi asked Yang's mother: "Mother, what should I do about this matter?"

Mother Yang looked at Feng Xiaoxue: "Xiaoxue has been married to our family for several years,...hey, she just has no children..."

"That's right!" Matchmaker Wang interjected, "Young Mistress is virtuous and filial. No one in this neighborhood knows about it, but there has never been a young one. The ancients said it well: There are three kinds of unfilial piety..."

"Okay!" Yang Qiuchi finally couldn't bear it, shouted, and interrupted Matchmaker Wang, "Didn't I already take a concubine? I was the matchmaker you secured, why are you talking about this kind of nonsense now?"

Mother Yang's face darkened: "Yang Er, don't be rude, Granny Wang is also kind!"

"Good intentions? Is it good intentions to ask me to divorce my wife? Then I would like to thank you!" Yang Qiuchi replied bluntly. Seeing Feng Xiaoxue crying like a tearful person, he felt distressed and walked over to hold her hand. hand.

"Presumptuous! Don't you even listen to your mother's words?" Mother Yang shouted.

Feng Xiaoxue said to Yang Qiuchi with teary eyes: "Husband, listen to your mother, huh~?" Yang Qiuchi could only nod his head, thinking about what to do.

Seeing that Yang Qiuchi bowed his head and said nothing, Mother Yang's face softened a little, and she sighed again: "Do you think mother doesn't pity Xiaoxue? Our mother has been dependent on each other for so many years, and she has always been very filial to me. Is it all her alone? How could I be willing to let her go?" After a pause, he sighed, "My child, you are promising something now, Mother and Xiaoxue are both happy for you, and they all wholeheartedly hope that you will be successful. Now, Boss Bai Qian is taking the initiative to marry his daughter to you. Boss Bai Qian is a high-ranking official in the court. We don’t even see him on weekdays. He is willing to marry his daughter to our family. You say, Isn't this the great blessing of our Yang family?"

Feng Xiaoxue's tears continued to flow down her face, she slowly lowered her head, trying to control her crying, her thin shoulders kept shaking with the crying.

Yang's mother tried not to look at Feng Xiaoxue, and continued to finish the sentence: "I have heard that you have saved Boss Bai Qian's daughter several times, and they are grateful to us, so they married her to our poor family, son, Mother is a bit selfish, she thinks that if we want to get involved in this marriage, we won't have to worry about it for the rest of our lives, and even if mother dies, she can close her eyes."

"Mother!..." Yang Qiuchi called out.

Yang's mother waved her hand to stop Yang Qiuchi from speaking: "Son, besides this selfishness, mother also has another worry. Since ancient times, only the man proposes marriage, but I have never heard of the woman proposing marriage. , if we reject Mr. Qian Zong, where will you let others face? Once he turns his face, then, then, we, what shall we do!"

"Mother!" Feng Xiaoxue stood up sobbing, took a few steps forward, and knelt down in front of Yang's mother, "Mother, let my husband divorce me. I don't blame him..." He fell on the ground, crying sounded.

"No!" Yang Qiuchi slapped the table and stood up abruptly, "No matter what, I will never divorce my wife!" Walking to the table, he picked up the plate of silver and threw it into the matchmaker's arms, "Go back Tell Boss Bai Qian that I, Yang Qiuchi, have accepted his wishes, but forgive me!"
