The daily life of young girls in ancient times

Chapter 23

Mrs. Aunt Rong is back, and the Rong family will naturally have a gathering in the evening, still in Mrs. Rong's yard. This time, there are two more girls, Ji Fengchan and Ji Xiuchan, on the table of the younger generation. The girl has been in contact with her for a long time and is very familiar with her.The food hasn't been served yet, and they can still talk, the two cousin girls obviously love Baozhu the most, sitting next to her to make her laugh, the little cousin girl is more depressed, just sits beside her and covers her mouth and laughs.

Rong Yanzhu secretly inquired about Mrs. Rong, but she knew that in her previous life, because she had no children and was suppressed by her mother-in-law, she was always depressed, and finally got sick and died. It was really pitiful.But this aunt is really well married, and my uncle treats her really well, but I can't help my aunt has a knot of her own.

My aunt married the emperor's cousin, Zhao Chen was also my uncle's cousin, and Baozhu married my uncle's cousin in her previous life, so it's really confusing to talk about this generation.

Rong Yanzhu held a cup of tea and offered a cup of tea to Aunt Rong. Rong Yuanjing didn't really like the so-called niece who suddenly became smart and sensible in her mother's mouth. There was no other reason. She didn't like the second brother and the second sister-in-law. .She couldn't get used to the second brother and the second sister-in-law when they were not married. The second brother came out of the aunt's belly, and the aunt always bullied her mother with a pitiful appearance, so she naturally had no feelings for the second brother.As for the second sister-in-law, she is also stupid.

But when she didn't like Yanzhu, Rong Yuanjing also smiled and praised, "Our Yanzhu is really sensible," and took a sip of Yanzhujing's tea.

Rong Yanzhu could also see that her aunt didn't like her very much, so she didn't show anything anymore, and returned to her seat obediently.

Rong Yuanjing said to the Fourth Master Rong, "Fourth brother, you have been smart since you were young. Next year's spring will definitely not be a problem, but you should also pay attention to your body. I heard from your mother that you almost delayed this autumn."

Master Rong Si nodded, "Sister said yes."

Rong Yuanjing continued, "Shortly after Chunxi, the imperial examination will be held. The emperor has just ascended the throne for a year, and it is the most important time to use talents. After you enter the Imperial Academy in high school, you have to work hard. Don't be arrogant and wasteful."

Master Rong smiled and said, "Sister, what you said, fourth brother is not such a person."

Di Shi also laughed, and Grandpa Guo seemed to be in a good mood. He asked Rong Yuanjing a lot of things and tried to persuade her to relax.

After the banquet, Di Shi arranged for Rong Yuanjing to live with the two cousin girls. This stay lasted for several days. Baozhu would come to talk to her aunt every day, and took the opportunity to drop the lotion in the tea to let her My aunt drank it, and I used three or four drops of lotion for my aunt every day.

Rong Yuanjing liked Baozhu more and more, and felt that the child was pure and good-natured, delicate and cute.

In the past, Baozhu lived in many aunt's yards, and became more and more familiar with her two cousins. The two cousins ​​liked her very much, and even Xiuchan, who was more introverted, talked to her more.The girls didn't have many things to play with, and they were quite interested in the things the boys played. They often used the crickets in the orb room to play with.

Seeing that they liked the cricket, Baozhu couldn't help but said, "Cousin, I have quite a lot of crickets here, why don't you take two of them home to play, these crickets were given to me by Fifth Brother, they are well raised, Fifth Brother said They are invincible all over the world!"

Xiuchan covered her mouth and sniggered, Ji Fengchan shook her head, and looked at Baozhu enviously, "We won't take it home to play, my sister and I are getting older, if we are playing with these things, grandma will tell me that we are too old to play." It's nothing, I'm afraid that grandma will say that mother will not teach us well, and we will lose our ambition by playing with things."

Baozhu felt more and more pitiful for her aunt.

Since the two cousins ​​didn't want her, Baozhu didn't force her anymore, but it took a long time to come here every day, and she also brought many interesting things from Rongcheng.

Rong Yuanjing lived with her two children at her mother's house for seven or eight days, and Master Ji came to pick them up, and Baozhu was very reluctant to part with her aunt when she left.

Mrs. Rong's life in Ji's house was really difficult. The ridicule from her sister-in-law and mother-in-law, as well as her own pressure, made her miserable.

When resting at night, Master Ji held her in his arms, "Yuan Jing, I said that I will only marry you in this life, and there will be no other women. No matter what, even if we really only have Feng Chan and Xiu Chan A girl, I won't take concubines either."

Rong Yuanjing said bitterly: "Master, forget it, I have thought it through, when you take a concubine and give birth to a child, you will raise it by my side, and I will love him as my own child. No matter what , we can’t let you inherit the business after you die.”

"No, what I said will definitely count, and the doctor has said that your body is not impossible to recover, as long as you take good care of it, you will be fine."

Rong Yuanjing said, "Master, let's make an agreement, one year, if I can't conceive within one year, you can take a concubine, it will be good for everyone."

Master Ji sighed and stopped talking.

Not only Ji's family was thinking about it, but so was Rong's family, not to mention Di Shi and Baozhu, even Wan Niang was thinking about it.

After serving Duke Zhen at night, Wan Niang lazily lay beside him, smiling coquettishly, "Master, I want to discuss something with you."

Duke Zhen hummed, "What's the matter? Tell me about it."

Wan Niang half propped herself up, her expression was serious, "Master, Yuan Jing is really pitiful, although Yuan Jing didn't come out of my stomach, but I watched her grow up, and I love her in my heart. Although this young master Treat her well, but I can't stop her from giving birth to only two girls, Fengchan and Xiuchan. My uncle is the one who wants to inherit the Duke's mansion, so how could he not have a son? Instead of letting Yuan Jing's mother-in-law stuff people into their room, Why don't we send a fertile one over there, this can also help Yuan Jing, if her mother-in-law sends people, maybe they will stare at Yuan Jing, and the people we send can help Yuan Jing everywhere."

Duke Zhen also loved his only daughter, and nodded involuntarily, "Then you can tell me which maid in the mansion is suitable?" The man who sent him from the mansion also knew the details, and his daughter could handle it well.

Wan Niang smiled and said, "Master, I have someone to choose, but it's not from the mansion, but a niece from my mother's family, Qiao Lian. She is well-proportioned, and she looks like a good child. She is also pure and good, and you know everything. I have also seen my niece, who is only eighteen this year, because her parents dote on her, so she is still unmarried."

Wan Niang's surname is Chen, this niece of her niece, Chen Qiaolian, has been seen by the Duke of Zhen, she looks good, her skin is fair, and her figure is not bad, she looks like a good-bred girl, she has her head down twice when she sees her With a docile appearance, my daughter must be able to handle it.

"Okay, I'll discuss this with my wife tomorrow."

"Master." Wan Niang said with a smile, "Why don't you let Qiaolian come to live in the mansion for a few days, so that Madam can have an impression of her and get to know her better."

"Okay, I'll let someone pick her up tomorrow."

The next morning, Duke Zhen asked his men to bring Qiaolian to the mansion, but he forgot to tell Di Shi about it. The Rong family didn't know about it until Qiaolian was taken back to the mansion two days later.

Di's expression turned pale at that time, "Master, what is your intention? What are you doing to bring such an unmarried girl to the mansion."

Zhenguo Gongdao, "I forgot to tell you, this is Wan Niang's niece from her mother's family. She is eighteen this year. I think Yunjing's life in Ji's family is not easy. Instead of letting Ji's family stuff some people who don't know the truth, In Yunjing's room, why don't we send a well-know and well-raised past, madam, what do you think?"

She said it was for her daughter's affairs, but Di's complexion was still not good-looking, this Qiaolian was Wan Niang's niece of her mother's family, so she knew what was going on at a glance.

Zhen Guogong said: "Okay, don't be angry, I know you think I took this girl here without telling you, I didn't mean it, I planned to tell you earlier in the morning, I was in a hurry to go I just forgot about it, well, the decision is in your hands, you take a good look at it, if you can, send it to the girl, if not, you just choose someone else." In the face of the only daughter matter, Zhen Guogong is still very reasonable.

Di Shi also knew that he really loved his daughter, so he didn't say anything more, but she would not send the person Wan Niang introduced to her daughter.

When the wives came to pay their respects, they found out about this. Mrs. Gao took a look at Qiaolian who was next to Wanniang, and said with a smile, "It looks like she's a good-natured girl. My aunt has a heart."

Wei Shi said, "There are many maids in the mansion who are easy to raise. Why would my aunt let her niece be a concubine? What's more, for such a wealthy family, being a concubine is not even as good as a maid. The master just killed her at will."

Wan Niang and Qiaolian's faces turned pale, Wan Niang smiled and said, "It is also Qiaolian's blessing to help my aunt, and it is even more of her honor to be able to give birth to a son and half son for the Ji family for my aunt. "

Baozhu is now nestled in Cen's arms. Hearing this, she raises her head and takes a look at Qiaolian. She is also quite delicate, and she looks quite docile. For some reason, she insists on being a concubine for someone else.

A few words were exchanged between the sisters-in-law, most of them were Mrs. Gao holding Qiaolian, and the other three wives continued to suppress them. After talking for a while, Mrs. Gao's expression fell when she couldn't say anything to the three of them, and she said something uncomfortable. She walked away, leaving only Wan Niang staring blankly and Qiao Lian continuing to lower her head and play the meek.

Seeing that it was almost done, Di said, "Okay, since I have sent people here, I won't say anything. Since I want to serve people, I won't stop them, so let's arrange to serve them in front of our ancestors first." .”

Wan Niang opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but when Di Shi looked at her, she dared not say anything, only Qiao Lian said obediently, "Yes, thank you Ma'am."
