Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 58 I'm going to marry you tomorrow
"What are you two good at?"

"Miss Hui, this servant girl is good at women's work. She likes to make jewelry, bead flowers, weave all kinds of things, and she is also literate."

"My servant, Dong Yu, knows how to settle accounts." Dong Yu said succinctly.

Murong Wei's eyes moved slightly, a little surprised.

The two girls her grandmother chose for her were very unusual.

Both of them can be used, and they look normal. It is obvious that she is going to be trained well, and she is not developing in the direction of Tongfang.

Good at making women's celebrities, beaded flower jewelry and other things that women like, they are also good for giving gifts in the future.

It is not easy to be able to settle accounts. Not everyone can read the accounts here.

It's just that she still has to take the school exam.

"You know how to calculate accounts, but have you ever remembered the formula of abacus calculation?"

Dong Yu said awkwardly: "I remember..."

After finishing speaking, she recited the formula of abacus, which was very different from her dullness.

Lu Shao smiled and said, "Miss, I'm afraid I don't know, sister Dong Yu's mental calculation is very strong."

Murong Wei reported the number: "Then let me ask you, what is 99 multiplied by 18?"

Unexpectedly, Dong Yu didn't hesitate, so he reported the number, 1782.

Murong Wei was really surprised at this moment, and reported a few more numbers. Seeing that she answered fluently, it was obvious that she was very sensitive to numbers.

Murong Wei was delighted, thinking that she could hand over the Arabic numerals for accounting in the future. Isn't this a ready-made accounting room?
Talent!
Murong Wei felt that today was a great value for money, and immediately accepted the two of them.

In addition to the two maids, Murong Wei met the capable nanny specially prepared for her by the old lady.

This nanny is over 30 years old, her appearance looks a little old, but her eyes give people the impression of being very capable. She is wearing a half-worn maroon vicar, a dark green skirt, and only a half-worn scarf on her head. Silver hairpin.

"The servant has seen the young lady."

She stepped forward to greet Murong Wei, her back was straight, and although she was dressed poorly, her every move revealed a natural demeanor, neither humble nor overbearing, which Murong Wei admired very much.

The mother's surname is Zheng, originally a daughter of a wealthy family, because her family committed a crime, she was unregistered and entered the palace.

Later, he sold himself into Murong's house for his son, because she was released by the palace maid, and the old lady thought she was good, and she worked on the old lady's estate.

This time, when choosing someone for Murong Wei, the old lady thought of Madam Zheng, who was a female official, because Murong Wei was going to marry into the royal family, and it would be best to have someone by her side who had stayed in the palace and was familiar with etiquette. , and she is also a woman from a wealthy family, so she has a different natural demeanor, knowledgeable, considerate and sensitive.

Murong Wei had a chat with her, and felt that her demeanor was really different from the nuns she usually saw, so she planned to keep her. Of course, whether she could really use it would have to be tested again.

If she was loyal, she would naturally not use it.

You can learn without ability, but if you are not loyal, then no matter how capable you are, it is useless.

Murong Wei would not keep this kind of person to embarrass herself.

If you say it is the sand at your fingertips these days, it will slip away at some point.

Seeing that the weather is getting hotter day by day, the beauty of April is over, and May is here.

At the end of April, Aunt Zhou landed a son very smoothly.

Murong Wei looked at the wrinkled little monkey, but heard the people around said: "Look at how handsome the young master is, he really looks like a master."

Murong Wei didn't look like her father at all, but seeing how happy Master Murong was, naturally she wouldn't say anything to spoil the fun.

Murong Wei went into the delivery room and saw that Aunt Zhou was lying on the bed, she was in good spirits, fortunately, Doctor Zhang was there during the delivery, and nothing went wrong.

"Mother, little brother looks like a little monkey."

Aunt Zhou was overjoyed: "When you were just born, didn't you still look like her, like a little monkey? You were also very fussy. You were not allowed to sleep in the middle of the night, and you had to be hugged."

Murong Wei asked curiously, "Is it true?"

It's not her own business, she has nothing to be ashamed of.

Mother Du came with pig's feet and peanut soup. She ate the milk, and the nanny brought it with her. Murong Wei just said that it is good for the child to eat his own mother's milk. , Decided to feed his son well.

"Of course it's true, when you were young..."

Aunt Zhou was talking about her daughter's childhood.

Now she has a son and a daughter and everything is full.

When someone brought the baby back, Aunt Zhou fed the baby herself, and then asked the nanny to look after the baby.

"Wei'er, you're getting married too. Mother knows that the mansion has prepared a dowry for you, but I have to leave something for you myself. The Zhuangzi shop under my name will be divided into half for you, and there are 3000 yuan here. Two silver coins will be used as money for you."

Aunt Zhou said seriously.

Seeing her expression, Murong Wei naturally understood her mother's thoughts, but thought of her younger brother, he is still so young, how could she ask Aunt Zhou's dowry?
"Mother, don't worry, the house has prepared a lot of dowry for me. My daughter will find a way to make money herself. Mother's dowry should be reserved for my younger brother."

Aunt Zhou shook her head: "How can this be done? Your brother belongs to him, and you belong to you. This..."

After Murong Wei talked about it, Aunt Zhou gave up her mind, but she still gave Murong Wei 1000 taels of makeup.

The three baptisms were held three days after the child was born, and many guests came that day, the eldest sister Murong Lan and the second sister Murong Yue also came back.

After three days, the skin on the child's face seemed to be less wrinkled, and the contours of the eyes and nose could be seen.

The crowd watched the ceremony lively, and after the ceremony was over, Mrs. Wen made a fortune and received a lot of extra money and things.

Murong Yue was talking to her younger sister, Qin Yao, when Murong Wei came over and said with a smile: "Second Sister is more and more beautiful now, I haven't seen you for a few days, even my younger sister can't recognize her. She should be the fairy girl next to the Queen Mother."

Murong Yue spat, "You, Hugh came to tease me. You're getting married tomorrow, but I won't be finished if I don't joke. I'll let you know how good I am at that time."

Murong Wei took her hand and said: "Sister Qin Yao, tell me, I'm a compliment. You said my sister went to your house, but I don't know whether it is the water that nourishes people or people are different. Now the second sister It’s really dazzling, and it’s really like a fairy.”

Now that they are married, Murong Yue's face is rosy, showing the charm of a young woman more and more, and she is more graceful against her temperament as pale as a chrysanthemum.

Qin Yao covered her lips and giggled, "That's right, fourth brother was so dazed by his sister-in-law."

Murong Wei asked curiously: "You mentioned this, but I was curious. How did you get along so well with Second Sister back then?"

Qin Yao saw that Murong Yue was giving her winks to tell her not to say anything, but she smiled narrowly: "Well, there's nothing you can't say. It's not that my good fourth brother just fell in love with sister-in-law on the day of Princess Jing's birthday party. Didn't you urge me to inquire about my sister-in-law?"

Murong Yue's face turned red, and she said annoyed: "You traitor, don't want my painting anymore."

Qin Yao hurriedly said: "Oh, good sister-in-law, please don't mention it. My sister gave my famous peony to my sister-in-law to apologize."

Murong Wei was overjoyed: "Is there such a thing as dare to love? Tsk tsk, isn't this called love at first sight?"

Murong Yue's face was flushed, and several people made a fuss.

Not long after, Qin Yongning came to pick up his wife and younger sister to go home, and was uncomfortable and confused by the strange eyes of the three people.

When she turned around to ask the lady, Murong Yue snorted: "It's not because of you."

"What's wrong with me?" Qin Yongning was very surprised, "Little sister, why are you all laughing at me, but what's wrong with me?"

Qin Yao laughed so hard that her flowers trembled: "Go back and ask your sister-in-law, I don't know anything."

On the other side, Murong Wei bid farewell to a few people, turned around and saw Murong Lan and Feng Yu, Feng Yu didn't seem to be very happy, and Murong Lan looked a little angry.

Not long after, Feng Yu turned and left, Murong Lan was so annoyed that her face was ugly, she grabbed the flowers in the garden and tore them to pieces.

Murong Wei raised her eyebrows, the relationship between the husband and wife does not seem to be very good now.

The corners of her mouth raised, her eyeballs rolled around, and she seemed to be walking inadvertently from a distance.

"Stop, you don't have long eyes, and you didn't say hello when you saw me?" Murong Lan was angry, and when she saw Murong Wei looking for something with her head down, she immediately got very angry at her.

Murong Wei raised her head and asked in surprise: "Why is Eldest Sister here? I just sent Second Sister and Second Brother-in-law back. I thought Eldest Sister and Eldest Brother-in-law went back home too."

Murong Lan was choked by her immediately, and said a little angrily, "When will I want you to care? Look at you, walking bent over like that, what do you look like?"

With a slightly anxious expression on Murong Wei's face, she looked around, "I'm looking for something. I didn't seem to notice the things that my uncle's family sent me just now. I can't find them anywhere."

As he spoke, he turned around: "Elder sister, have you ever seen anything paper?"

Murong Lan snorted, "Who pays attention to that thing?"

Murong Wei was a little frustrated, "Forget it, it must have been lost. Maybe it fell somewhere else."

Then he turned and looked elsewhere.

Murong Lan's beautiful eyes blinked, with a bit of surprise, she was so nervous, but it was just paper, what kind of rare thing could it be?
The more Murong Lan thought about it, the more suspicious she became. What did Murong Wei want to find? Why didn't she let the maid go and do it herself?
She walked forward, thinking that this was a strange thing, when she suddenly saw some paper falling in the flowers out of the corner of her eye.

Murong Lan's heart moved, and she stepped forward to pick it up.

At first sight, there were two pieces of paper that were yellowed with age, and the writing on them seemed to be a little blurred, but they were still clearly readable.

Murong Lan took a look and saw that it said the secret recipe for court childbirth.

It's still something from the past.

Murong Lan was curious, and saw a lot of things written on it.

There are several prescriptions that make it easy for women to get pregnant. It is also said that the days before and after menstruation are the most likely to conceive. If you follow this prescription, you are guaranteed to be pregnant within a year.

At this time, many women believed that it was easy to get pregnant before menstruation, and even concubines often arranged for high-ranking women to go to bed before and after menstruation, but it turned out that it was not easy to conceive. Murong Lan did not doubt this statement.

"Hmph, no wonder she's so nervous. It seems that her uncle's family has collected something. She wants to get a man early, right?"

Murong Lan thought.

"There should be no problem with this prescription. I'll find someone to ask again."

Murong Lan actually had a hidden worry in her heart, she had her period again this month, and she was not pregnant yet.

Ordinarily, she and Feng Yu are newly married, so they should stay together more often, but Feng Yu doesn't know what to do, but instead spoils that little bitch who looks like Murong Wei.

Murong Lan hated her teeth itchingly.

What if the little bitch becomes pregnant before her?
However, the rules in this world generally do not allow the concubine to give birth to the eldest son before the main wife has a son, so as to avoid future disputes.Unless the main wife is unable to conceive for a long time.

"I have to get pregnant earlier, and Feng Yuna, let's give in to him for the time being."

As long as she has a son and her status is stable, Feng Yu will have to respect her.

Murong Wei watched Murong Lan leave with the prescription, and turned her gaze to the shimmering lotus pond.

In the early summer, the small lotus only shows its sharp horns, it is very cute, and its blue color is pleasing to the eye.

"Hey, big sister, you must understand my sister's painstaking efforts. Pregnancy at a young age is always bad for your health." Murong Wei muttered to herself.

If she really did that, Murong Lan's desire to get pregnant early would be in vain.

It's better for Feng Yu to take another concubine or something, and let her good sister have a taste of this hard life.

It can be regarded as repaying the person's body in the same way, isn't it?

Her beautiful eyes were bent into crescent moons, and she smiled brightly.

Yue Gu stared blankly at Murong Wei sorting out the rare items.

"Aunt Yue, why are you so dumbfounded?" Lu Shao, who was bringing in something from the side, greeted with a smile: "Could it be that you are dumbfounded by the beauty of Miss?"

Aunt Yue came back to her senses and said with a smile: "I just thought that the young lady will get married soon, we have to send the dowry to the shop tomorrow, and we will get married the day after tomorrow. The young lady is so old, in the blink of an eye, I always thought Miss was still a baby."

After hearing this, Murong Wei blinked: "Nurse, I'm just a child, I haven't grown up yet."

Yue Gu smiled and said: "Miss is going to marry someone soon, and this servant is not feeling emotional, this time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, Miss will be an adult too."

Murong Wei couldn't help feeling a little sad when she heard this.

Looking at this place where she stayed for so long after arriving in ancient times, Murong Wei was also a little scared for a while when she was about to leave here and go to a completely strange place.

When she came to this home, she finally adapted to the life in ancient times. She learned a lot and gained a lot.

Now that I am leaving here, it is inevitable that I will feel a little emotional.

Murong Wei stared blankly at the Four Seasons crabapple blooming just right outside the window, suddenly feeling a little dazed.

The things in the house were almost done. Early the next morning, someone sent Murong Wei's dowry and daily utensils to the Luo Palace.

When they arrive there, the bride's house will carry out the dowry to dry in the sun for everyone to comment on.

Murong Wei's dowry was very delicate. In addition to all kinds of ebony rosewood, camphor wood, and huanghuali furniture, there were also unique embroidered screens designed by Murong Wei, screen inserts, four screens, pendant fans, dressing table, Small objects, all kinds of purses and handkerchiefs amazed the onlookers because of their novel patterns.

Murong Wei gave full play to the specialty of green peony, let her weave a lot of rattan boxes decorated with wicker flowers, and placed various kinds of delicate jewelry and beads, instead of choosing to use jewelry boxes, but it is also more fresh and elegant.

In addition to these, there are all kinds of clothes, daily utensils, and so on.

"The Murong family has really put their money into it. It looks like this is not much worse than his family's eldest daughter getting married."

"After all, she is also a princess, and she has also been named a township monarch. Isn't it shameful that the dowry is too bad? It's really interesting to see this princess. It took a lot of thought to see her dowry."

Everyone talked a lot, they all said that she had a clever mind, but they didn't know that she was really just beautiful in mind, not skillful in hands.

These things look beautiful, but most of them were not made by Murong Wei.

Of course, some of them were made by her, so it's not very eye-catching. If Murong Wei hears people's praise, she will definitely smile.

Xiao Mingrui had a good time seeing the dowry she sent, and carefully looked at the things she made, knowing that she had a clever mind, and these things were really good.

She is full of whimsical thoughts, and he will slowly discover her secrets in the future.

Looking at those beautiful purses, Xiao Mingrui suddenly remembered that he didn't have such things as purses from her?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel moved. When she became a kiss, she must embroider a beautiful purse for him to wear next to his body.

Yes, there are also clothes and things like that...

Xiao Mingrui was full of joy looking forward to the embroidery hand-delivered by his wife, imagining that he would be very comfortable wearing the clothes made by his wife every day in the future.

The fifth prince Xiao Mingchen looked at his elder brother's face full of spring breeze and gentle smile, and shook his head helplessly. He really wanted to wake up his elder brother so that he would not behave like this to others again, making people wonder if he would treat the bride It's hard to be satisfied.

"Second brother, the things my sister-in-law made are really interesting. Later, I will ask my sister-in-law for some." Xiao Mingchen interrupted his brother's thoughts.

Xiao Mingrui was in a good mood and didn't care about it, looking at the blue sky with long-distance and anticipation.

Tomorrow they will get married, and she will marry him to become his woman, his wife. From then on, they will go through ups and downs with him. In the days to come, they will join hands and walk together on this long road of life Forward.

"Okay, your sister-in-law is not stingy either. Ask her what you like."

Xiao Mingchen rolled his eyes straight: "Second brother, my younger brother is going to make a big fuss in the bridal chamber tomorrow. Hehe..."

Xiao Mingrui glared at him angrily: "Stop booing after them."

Tomorrow is the day he has been looking forward to for a long time, and he doesn't want to be ruined by these malicious brothers like them.

Murong Wei lay there, unable to sleep for a while.

Most of the things in the room were taken away, and it seemed empty, which made her very uncomfortable.

Lu'er opened the curtain and came in. Seeing that Murong Wei was still asleep, she said in a low voice: "Miss, go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow to dress up. Although Qin Tianjian has calculated that the auspicious time is noon, I still have to sleep." Woke up early."

Murong Wei sighed: "I just can't sleep."

Lu'er sat down next to her: "Miss, don't worry, everything will be fine tomorrow. Or is it that Miss is unhappy with the two maids that Madam sent?"

Mentioning this matter, Murong Wei felt a little irritated.

The two maids named Nugget Hong Yicui lived up to their names, each of them looked like Yangzhou skinny horses.Nianhong was born delicate and weak, her eyes seem to be able to speak, and her timid and tearful appearance can really seduce men and arouse their pity.

Yi Cui was born with snow-skinned and beautiful appearance, charming and gorgeous, with seductive eyes, and a sweet and cloying voice.

Even this woman, Murong Wei, was moved by it.

I don't know how the eldest lady found these two maids from Zhuangzi, or did they prepare them long ago?

It was only today that I told her that she had gone to the palace and there were too few people, so these two servant girls were asked to serve her.

The elder gave it to her, but she didn't dare to resign. She said it face to face, how could she refuse it.

Although the old lady frowned, she didn't say anything.

It seems that these two girls are suitable to be maids of the house.

Murong Wei did not refuse.

Besides, she didn't need to quit.

It is really ridiculous that the eldest lady wants to find someone by her side and sow discord between her and Xiao Mingrui.

She would like to see how valuable these two servant girls are.

Look at this good mother, she can't wait to put people next to her son-in-law.

Murong Wei sneered in her heart, but the expression on her face was very calm: "The two maids are worth your nervousness? Isn't there a shortage of rough girls in the palace?"

Lu'er was stunned, and laughed aloud: "No, this servant is really stupid."

Looking at the empty room, Murong Wei felt a little emotional for a moment.

Lu'er persuaded: "Miss, don't think too much, you have to get up early tomorrow, go to sleep."

Murong Wei nodded, and when Lu'er went down, she thought to herself that she was going to get married.

It was like a dream.

Isn't it just a dream, she has traveled through time, it was just a dream.

Now even in this dream, getting acquainted with Xiao Mingrui is like a dream to her.

All the things from the previous life were gone, and everything in this life gradually became clear before her eyes.

No matter what, she thought, she would live her life well.

In the early morning of the second day, Murong Wei was called out, and the nuns and family members sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs took care of her to take a bath. Luckily, the inner three layers and the outer three layers almost broke her skin.

When she changed into a white middle coat, she put on a real red golden phoenix and Luanming carved silk shirt with large sleeves, treasure-shaped flowers embroidered with phoenix patterns and Xiapei, and outer cover with large sleeves with clouds and phoenix patterns, and black hair tied into a woman's bun. Her bangs were combed up, and she wore a nine-zhai and four-phoenix crown on her head, and a pearl, emerald and flower hairpin, and gold and jade ornaments.

The Murong family specially invited Quanfu people to comb Murong Wei's hair and face. Such a Quanfu mother has both parents, in-laws and children, and a wealthy family. She is a Quanfu person.

The Murong family invited Mrs. Li, a member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, who was always a blessing for others, but it was rare to get such a chance to do blessings for such a big event.

Mrs. Li was born white and pure, and she smiled like Guanyin Bodhisattva. At this moment, she was flicking five-colored silk thread to the hair on Murong Wei's face in front of the wives of Murong's family, while saying auspicious words.

Auspicious words such as giving birth to a precious child early seem to be poured out without money.

Everyone watched with a smile on their faces, and the elder sister-in-law Yunxia was also on the sidelines at this moment. When she looked away, Murong Wei's face was pale and rosy, and the jet-black pool of autumn water was full of brilliance. What a handsome man."

Murong Wei blushed and said angrily, "Sister-in-law!"

Yunxia and the others chatted and laughed together, this opened her face, she painted her eyebrows and eyes, and after she applied several layers, Murong Wei couldn't stand it anymore, thinking that this powder would talk later. Will it fall down?

She doesn't like it when she looks at it, so it's better not to scare others with this look.

After a while, the makeup was done, and the maids came to invite the mothers to tea, and only Murong Wei and the maids around her were left in the room.

"Miss can't eat for the time being, wait until the church is over, you can't wash and wash in the middle." Lu'er said.

Of course Murong Wei knew this, she just frowned and took a target mirror to look at the makeup on her face. This dead white face was too ugly.

"No, I might as well put on this makeup myself." Murong Wei had to ask the maid to remove the makeup, but Xiang Tao couldn't get around her, so she had to put on powder and wash her face.

Murong Wei used some chamomile-made toner to pat her face. Her complexion was already fair and rosy, and her skin was delicate. It looked better without makeup.

There is a saying that people say, "but they dislike makeup, powder and color", isn't it so?
Today is a newlywed, so the makeup should not be too light. She paints and paints on her face by herself. After a while, Lu'er looked at the person in front of her and said in amazement: "Miss's hands are so skillful, they are better than those of the nuns before. much better."
