Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 156
In September of this year, the autumn is high and the air is crisp, and the golden osmanthus is fragrant.

On September 22, the Hengyang County Lord's Mansion sent someone to greet her. Although the fifth girl was still just a concubine this time, she was different from the sixth girl in that at least she chose it willingly, and the other party did a good job on the face.

I don't know if it's the second young master's idea, or if the second young lady is really virtuous.Although the sedan chairs that came to greet them were not comparable to the wedding sedan chairs, they were not the usual green curtains decorated with red cloth and silk. If it wasn't that the fifth girl went to the Hengyang County Lord's Mansion, it was an ordinary family that served as a wedding sedan chair. It is also possible.

The fifth girl carried the burden on this day, followed by many people who carried the dowry to the Hengyang county lord's mansion.

And among the girls who have not yet left the cabinet in the Yan family, only the fourth girl and Qing Huan are left.

At least Qing Huan is still unmarried, and there is an unmarried sister in front of her, and the delay in the marriage due to the death of both parents is understandable.

But the fourth girl was embarrassed in the mansion.

Miss Six is ​​a special case.

But now the fifth girl has also married before her. Although she is only a concubine, she has gone out of the door anyway.The fourth girl still stayed in the mansion. Before that, in order to find a way to get married before the fifth girl, the second master and the second wife tried their best, but nothing worked.It's not that the second wife thinks her family background is not enough, or that the fourth girl refuses to marry as a second wife.

This delay has dragged on until now.

After the fifth girl left, if there was no important matter, the fourth girl would just stay in the yard and not go out at will.But the second wife started to get busy again.

Miss Six's body became more and more pregnant, and there was news from Uncle Ruyang's residence.Mrs. Yan asked the eldest lady to prepare some high-quality medicinal materials and bird's nest and cordyceps and sent them over.

"Is everything ready?" asked the eldest lady.

"If you go back to the eldest wife, everything will be fine. It's a whole car."

The eldest lady waved her hand: "Go and tell Mama Wang."

Naturally, there will be no shortage of bird's nest medicinal materials in the house, but Mrs. Yan has a big heart, and she just asks the eldest wife to collect a cart of medicinal materials to send over. dissatisfied.

But the person who sent it was Mama Wang who was next to Mrs. Yan.

It's like the eldest lady gave out money to make old lady Yan a favor.

It's really hateful.

The eldest lady gritted her teeth and said to herself: "Why did you get pregnant with a child, my poor daughter." Thinking that the second girl fell ill not long after marrying into Uncle Ruyang's mansion, because of the Yan family's inability to After picking it up, I had to lie in bed and suffer from the pain for more than two years before it disappeared.

Although the sixth girl is just a concubine, at least her complexion is rosy, she is healthy and she is pregnant with the first child of Uncle Ruyang's son.

The only thing that makes the eldest wife feel better is that she will be more unhappy than herself if she is the second wife.

The eldest wife can only have fun while suffering.

……

And the person who was also annoyed was Mrs. Wu.

The younger sister of the Wu family was sent to Rong's mansion as a concubine. The Wu family had kept this from her natal sister-in-law before, thinking that when the time came, the elder sister of the Wu family would go to Rong Chen's place to be his regular wife.The sister-in-law will not have any reluctance when the time comes, and Wu's natal family is only average, and being able to marry her daughter into the Rong's mansion can be regarded as the pie falling from the sky.

Otherwise, Mrs. Wu wouldn't have been Rong Tian's concubine before.

But no matter how Wu asks, or wants to deliberately decide on his marriage with sister Wu's without Rong Chen's decision, it will not work.When the Wu family became a concubine when she was a child, Xia's mother went to Princess Danyang's mansion.

Then Rong Tian was invited over.

At that time, Wu's eyelids twitched, thinking that Rong Tian must not be persuaded by Princess Danyang.

It's just that Rong Tian came back angrily and said that she was not allowed to intervene in Rong Chen's future marriage, and she was not allowed to take care of it after that.Wu knew the sky was falling.

When Rong Tian said this, he was so annoyed that he didn't avoid the servants.By the time Wu Shi realized it, the sister of the Wu family had already left and returned home.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Wu's sister-in-law to rush to Rong's mansion with a murderous look on her face.

Rong Tian left early in the morning.

Only Mrs. Wu was left to face the wrath of Wu's sister-in-law.

"My good daughter is not here to send you to be someone else's concubine." Sister Wu curled her lips and sneered, "Sister, you like to be a concubine yourself, so why don't we allow girls from our Wu family to be a real lady? Do you want to shamelessly be someone else's concubine just like you?"

Wu's face was reddened by the words: "That's not the case, it was originally..."

For this natal sister-in-law, Wu didn't want to offend her.The status of the Wu family in recent years has been much better than that of the Wu family, because of the Wu family's sister-in-law's natal family.

Besides, Mrs. Wu really didn't think about it this way before, and called the two sisters over at the same time, just to show that she didn't force Rong Chen, at least someone chose to choose one for her.Instead of forcing her to marry the person she chooses, but now she is put together by Rong Chen.

Not to mention that the niece became an aunt, and the regular wife mentioned before was also denied.

Wu Shi was speechless, but he had no choice but to threaten Rong Chen. ,

Rong Chen's reply was because she definitely didn't marry her own sisters at the same time. Besides, one of them was a wife and the other was a concubine. .Wu Shi can do this kind of slap in the face, but Rong Chen can't.

Rong Chen's attitude is that he does not admit it.

No matter how angry Wu was, she couldn't help it. She originally wanted to use Rong Tian to put pressure on her, but it was because he was really sorry for Rong Chen's mother. If Princess Danyang took over Rong Chen's marriage, she couldn't help it.What's more, the people over there also said that since they have already sent the aunt to go there, the regular wife will not bother Rong Tian.Besides, the Rong Mansion doesn't have a proper mistress, so marriage matters must not be trifled with, naturally Princess Danyang is in charge.

Wu Shi is domineering in Dongrong Mansion, but she is indeed not the real hostess.

No matter how much Rong Tian dotes on her, it's just to let her be Mrs. Rong in the mansion, but no one outside will admit it.When Rong Tian talked about it outside, Mrs. Rong was only referring to Rong Chen's mother.

The sister-in-law of the Wu family said forcefully: "I don't care, you have to give me an explanation. If Aunt Wu doesn't like my sister-in-law, you can let your brother come."

Naturally, Wu Shi didn't want her brother to come over. She had been afraid of her brother since she was a child.

Thinking of this, Wu said softly: "Although it is only a concubine's room, it is still a noble concubine. Besides, that person is still a fourth-rank official. At his age, the future is limitless. "

When she said these words, Wu's heart was outraged, but under the eyes of Wu's sister-in-law, she had no choice but to say good things about Rong Chen.

The sister-in-law of the Wu family sneered and said: "You think I am as stupid as your niece, and you have easily deceived me. Isn't the concubine just a concubine? Doesn't it mean that he still doesn't marry a wife? If I marry a family in the future Gao, what should I do with my poor daughter."

"I've heard about his marriage in the future. Neither the master of your house nor you can have a hand in it. Since the Danyang Princess's mansion has been taken over, how can you find someone from a poor family?"

Wu's sister-in-law thought clearly.

It is true that Rong Chen's current official position is good, and he is still a fourth grade. If she is a son-in-law, she will laugh.But his daughter is just a concubine, and Rong Chen is also a relative of Princess Danyang.

If Princess Danyang finds a wife for Rong Chen, how can she be so bad.

At that time, how can my daughter enjoy her life.

Wu frowned, she didn't expect her sister-in-law to find an attitude after talking so much.I couldn't help becoming annoyed: "Otherwise, what does my sister-in-law think? If you don't want to, I'll get someone to bring my niece back. I have no skills, so I can only be an aunt, but if I talk like the master and say this request, it must be the same. It's okay." Besides, Rong Chen probably wasn't too happy about it.

Sister-in-law Wu hesitated.

Not to mention that it has been a while since Wu's younger sister went to the Rong Mansion over there, whether her innocence is still there.Even if they are alive, there is no way out for someone who has already been someone else's aunt.

Taking it back will harm the remaining daughter.

The sister-in-law of the Wu family snorted coldly: "Bring it back, I am an innocent girl, can I still be innocent after I get it back? Then it's better for Aunt Wu to go to the kiln..."

"Sister-in-law." Aunt Wu interrupted her loudly: "I treat you as a sister-in-law and let you do something, but you are becoming more and more outspoken." Breathe a sigh of relief.

Wu's sister-in-law curled her lips: "Then since you recognize me as my sister-in-law, you can listen to me."

Mrs. Wu sighed, knowing that this is the only way to go, but she doesn't know what conditions her sister-in-law wants to ask, if there are some money, she can give one or two.

"What?" Before Wu's sister-in-law finished speaking, Wu stood up angrily: "No, absolutely not."

The sister-in-law of the Wu family laughed back angrily: "You and I make a concession. You said that my daughter was going to be the wife of the aunt, but now she is just the wife of your son. From the aunt to the illegitimate son, it's the opposite. I'm still at a loss."

Wu Shi kept a straight face and said nothing.

The sister-in-law of the Wu family got up and said, "Think about it carefully, this natal family always thinks about the son-in-law. Although my daughter is a concubine, she is the only one who married into Rong's house."

Wu's eyes turned cold.

"I'll think about this matter again." Seeing that Wu's sister-in-law still had something to say, Wu said reluctantly, "I can't decide on marriage matters alone. I have to talk to the master. Even if I agree , sister-in-law should give us some time to do things."

The sister-in-law of the Wu family took the elder sister of the Wu family back.

Wu Shi sat on the chair with a gloomy face.

What echoed in her mind were all the words of Wu's sister-in-law, but there was one sentence that disturbed her the most.

Princess Danyang has always loved Rong Chen, and with her status, and now Rong Chen is also a fourth-rank official, it is not impossible to find a noble girl to be his first wife.

At that time, it will be really difficult to deal with.

Wu's eyes flickered again and again.

Absolutely not like this, Rong Chen has already tested a Danyang princess behind his back, if he adds another Yue family.Then what chance do you have in the future?

……

At the end of September, rumors suddenly spread that Rong Chen had killed his mother, and that Rong Chen had a violent personality and confronted his father. There was even a noble concubine in the mansion, and a concubine from a high-ranking family.

After passing through the mouths of many people, these messages intensified, and the more they spread, the more outrageous they became.

It even went to the point of calling Rong Chen a villain.

Rong Chen's military exploits and beheaded heads are all said to be that he has committed evil spirits, and anyone who is with him will be killed, including the enemy.These rumors are too exaggerated, and most people don't believe it.

But there are many people who believe it. After all, not all what they say is false.

Rong Chen has no mother since he was a child, and he doesn't get along with his father.

What's more, they asked Rong Tian about this matter.

Rong Tian was vague, but he agreed with the fact that Rong Chen had a big fight with him after returning to Beijing.

As a result, some people who didn't believe it at first, for the sake of the rare possibility, tactfully informed the Princess Danyang's mansion that they were not willing to get married.

It doesn't matter to Rong Chen.

He himself never thought of having any relationship with those people, if it wasn't for the Wu family pressing forward, Princess Danyang and Mother Xia stared at him with tears, and there would be riots in the hall again.

He really didn't want to think about his marriage.

But the rumor still affected his life somewhat.

Thinking of going back to the mansion one day, Yan Jun waited in the mansion and looked at him with an angry expression when she saw him, only saying that she couldn't believe that Brother Rong was such a person.

Rong Chen was exhausted outside, but when he met Yan Jun again, he couldn't laugh or cry.

For this reason, Rong Chen still went to Princess Danyang's mansion.

Princess Danyang didn't say anything, only let him go back with peace of mind, his marriage has been arranged by himself.

Seeing this, Rong Chen ignored the rumors.

Slowly, in mid-October, the rumors gradually faded away.

But the same people in Beijing, if they mention the candidate for a son-in-law, they will definitely be the first to mention Rong Chen, but they are talking about someone who should not be chosen.

Of course those are talking about the honorable family.

Those people who are not in the mainstream want to curry favor with Rong Chen, so they don't hesitate to give away a daughter.

But how could Princess Danyang like these people.

Qing Huan also heard a lot about Rong Chen's news.

Qing Huan thought she knew Rong Chen a little bit, and didn't believe that he was what those people talked about.But Yan Jun couldn't help believing it, but after Yan Jun came back from the Rong Mansion and started to study calmly, Qing Huan threw the last trace of doubts behind her.

Besides, from Qing Huan's point of view, the matter of Rong Chen really doesn't have much to do with her.

But in the topic of Rongshou Hall, Qing Huan thought about it again.

It really doesn't matter.

After several times of not being able to find a suitable man to be his son-in-law, rumors of Rong Chen spread in Beijing.The fourth girl went to the second wife and explained what she meant.

The fourth girl is willing to marry Rong Chen as his wife.

The second wife is naturally unwilling and reluctant.

But the fourth girl somehow convinced the second wife.

After the second wife agreed, she thought about how to facilitate this marriage. She couldn't rush to Rong Chen and ask him to marry the fourth girl.Just thinking about it, she doesn't have any friends of the wife who are connected with Princess Danyang's mansion.

Still under the hint of the fourth girl, he thought of Qing Huan.

The second wife didn't go directly to Qing Huan to talk about this kind of thing.

Firstly, he was afraid that Qing Huan, a girl who hadn't left the court, would be shy and unwilling to talk too much, and secondly, the second wife and Qing Huan really didn't know each other very well, and he was afraid that the other party would disagree.

That's when I went directly to Mrs. Yan.

It just so happened that because of the cartload of medicinal materials that Uncle Ruyang's Mansion had sent over, his servants brought back gifts in return.Mrs. Yan thought that after all, there was an old lady's handwriting here, and she didn't want this daughter-in-law and niece to be too resentful to herself, so she asked her to come with her.

The second wife did not avoid the eldest wife when she spoke, she knew in her heart that such matters could not be directly discussed with Qing Huan, and some detours were needed.If Mrs. Yan were to directly ask Qing Huan what to do, it would be counterproductive.After all, Qing Huan is no longer a person who can be manipulated casually.

And the only one in the mansion who has a good relationship with her and talks to her on weekdays is the eldest wife.

The Second Wife deliberately asked the Elder Madam to carry it out by talking to Old Madam Yan.

The eldest wife was not stupid, and soon heard what the second wife was thinking.

The eldest lady said: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't not help with this kind of thing. The seventh girl is my niece, isn't the fourth girl? There is just one thing, I forgot to tell the old lady."

Old Madam Yan glanced at the eldest lady indifferently.

The eldest lady smiled and said: "Since years ago, I have been thinking about the marriage of Qi Yatou in my heart, and I have dragged someone to help me because of this, but there are many things to do later, and it was delayed all of a sudden. On the way, there are three girls and five girls. The matter of the girl is piecemeal, and the sixth girl has a body again. I also forgot about it."

"But yesterday, Third Grandma Jiang sent me a message asking me to take Qiyatou to her house as a guest, saying that there will be many wives and wives who will pay at that time." Speaking of this, the eldest lady saw the second wife The mother and daughter glanced at each other and said apologetically, "I originally wanted to talk to the second younger sibling and the fourth girl about this matter. If you want, you can just come with me. It's just that the second younger sibling is really busy these days, and there is no one in sight in the morning. When I came back in the evening, I was already in bed. This delay is..."

The second wife blushed a little.

She was busy with the fourth girl's marriage, but she didn't think of Qing Huan at all.

Originally, it was reasonable for her not to care.

But now the eldest wife is in charge, she and the eldest wife are also Qing Huan's aunt.

With this comparison, the problem arises.

In addition, now Qing Huan is asking Qing Huan to help for the fourth girl's marriage.

In the eyes of outsiders, she, the second aunt, has nothing to do with the seventh niece who is an orphan, but wants to use her to plan for her daughter.

Old Madam Yan said: "Your Majesty has done a good job with Seventh Girl.

The eldest lady smiled slightly: "Look at what the old lady said, I'm her aunt, so I can't ignore it. Besides, that child is also an obedient and well-behaved person."

The second wife turned pale.

"It's not that Qiyatou doesn't have Jidi yet. I don't think I should be too anxious, so I just want to let it go and think about it later."

By the time.

At that time, I am afraid that you will really ignore it.

The eldest lady smiled coldly.
