Chapter 62 The Righteous Daughter (2)

Section 062 righteous daughter (2)

With Zhan's mother's smile, Dong Yuan looked at her in confusion.The slender and thick eyelashes fluttered, and the bewildered eyes had a kind of ignorant beauty, watery and charming, which made Zhan's mother stunned for a moment.

After a moment of recovery, Zhan's mother smiled and asked directly: "Miss Jiu, you asked about Tongfang, is it because Qiangwei wants to be Aunt Zheng's goddaughter?"

Dong Yuan nodded.Seeing Mother Zhan being so straightforward, Dong Yuan knew that the old lady didn't want to hide it from her.Mother Zhan has served Mrs. Xue since she was a child, and she has a deep understanding of Mrs. Xue's words and deeds.If the old lady doesn't want Dong Yuan to know the reason why Qiangwei is her goddaughter, Mother Zhan can avoid the topic and say nothing about Qiangwei.

Since I mentioned it, it means that I can tell Dong Yuan.

"I just found out that my aunt called Qiangwei and wanted her to be Aunt Zheng's goddaughter. Mom, what's the reason for this? Aunt Zheng has a third sister, so why would she want Qiangwei to be her daughter?" Mother Zhan said directly, and Dong Yuan didn't want to Beat the bush again.

Aunt Zheng didn't even believe Qiangwei's nonsense, let alone Dong Yuan?The third sister has been married for six or seven years, and Aunt Zheng has been empty for six or seven years, and now she thinks of having a daughter?

She told the old lady that she didn't want to be a sinner of the Xue family, and she didn't want the Sheng family to hate her and therefore hate the Xue family, so she wanted to be a good daughter-in-law in the Sheng family.

The old lady should help her.

Then, Qiangwei's job as a daughter should be for her to leave the court.

But she still didn't understand why.

She is very clear about the taboos and rules in the boudoir; but after leaving the court, she doesn't quite understand many things about being a woman.

Mother Luo went out again, and she will follow her to Sheng's house after she leaves the cabinet.At present, the only ones who are close to her, who will not harm her, and who are willing to tell her the truth, are Mama Zhan who is close to the old lady.Don't ask about the old lady directly, Dong Yuan will think of Mother Zhan.

Mother Zhan smiled and said, "Miss Nine, do you know about Teng's marriage?"

Dong Yuan paused in his heart.

She knew about Teng's marriage. The year before last, Prince Jing'an's only daughter, Princess Cheng Yi, married into the family of Shangshu Qi of the Ministry of Punishment, so she chose two concubines from Princess Jing'an's natal family to marry Teng.Because Princess Chengyi was in poor health since childhood, King Jing'an was afraid that his daughter would not be able to bear children, and Tongfang's child's status was too low, so Teng married two cousins ​​to Princess Chengyi.

Teng married people are generally relatives of women who have left the court, and their status is more noble than maidservants. When they marry into their husband's family, they are noble concubines, second only to the mistress and above the concubine's room.

Concubine Teng's children do not need the permission of the husband's family, as long as the mistress approves, they can be raised directly under the name of the mistress.Such a child is more honorable than a Tongfang child.

Tengzhu is an ancient marriage system, which is not practiced much in this dynasty. Only princesses and princesses are eligible to marry.For a woman without a title, the dowry can only be Tongfang.

As for Dong Yuan, Princess Roujia, who was bestowed by the imperial court, she can choose who Teng will marry.

Mrs. Xue was afraid that the eldest son of the Sheng family would not allow Dong Yuan to give birth to a child, and she was also worried that the eldest son of the Sheng family would not want Dong Yuan's companion, so Teng married a daughter to the eldest son of the Sheng family as a concubine.Let Concubine Teng give birth to a child and raise it for Xue Dongyuan.With a mistress who has children, she can gain a foothold in the Sheng family.

Firstly, concubine Teng has a noble status, so she can help Dongyuan manage the other concubines in Sheng Xiuyi's house; secondly, the son of the Sheng family is concerned about Dongyuan, and may not want to share the house, but he can't refuse the concubine.Sooner or later, the concubine will give birth to a child.

The Sheng family couldn't deny Dong Yuan's status in the clan.

Sure enough, ginger is old and spicy!Her grandmother is really a decisive person!
But she felt a dull pain in her heart.

Sheng Xiuyi used to have many concubines, she couldn't avoid it; but she brought the concubines there by herself, and the two sisters served the husband, she felt empty in her heart, very uncomfortable.

Since it was this age, she never expected her future husband to have no concubine.But this concubine asked her to choose and bring it by herself, she couldn't accept it in her heart.

This concubine is still her favorite Qiangwei, which makes Dong Yuan even more unbearable!

Dong Yuan's fingers at the bottom of her sleeves tightened, and her emotions were hidden under her smile, before she said: "I know about Teng's marriage. Princess Chengyi married two cousins ​​the year before last. Mom, that Qiangwei..."

Zhan's mother smiled and nodded: "Qiangwei is a very good child. Both the old lady and Mrs. Shizi think she is beautiful, intelligent, and well-behaved. She is the best concubine. It is the most suitable. When you go back, you can tell Qiangwei the good news, so that neither of you can feel uneasy."

It was confirmed that Qiangwei recognized her as the concubine of the eldest son, and she was married to the Sheng family for Teng.

Dong Yuan's smile was a bit forced.

She didn't want Qiangwei Teng to marry into the Sheng family.

After talking, the old lady got up, and Mother Zhan and Dong Yuan went into the inner room to serve.

Seeing Dong Yuan, the old lady laughed: "Why did you come so early today?"

Mother Zhan helped the old lady to comb her hair, and said with a smile: "It's about Qiangwei. That girl Qiangwei is too cautious. Mrs. Shizi didn't tell her clearly, so she didn't feel at ease. She insisted on telling Miss Jiu. Miss Jiu came to ask what happened I am also worried about Qiangwei. Look at this little sister who is very affectionate."

In the Carved Luan Realm, the old lady saw that Dong Yuan's smile was very weak, she smiled and did not answer Zhan's mother's words.

After combing her hair, Baojin brought water to rinse her mouth and face.

After freshening up, Dong Yuan personally helped the old lady to go to Dongci Room.

The old lady told Mother Zhan and the others to go out, leaving only Dong Yuan to talk.

"I didn't intend to hide it from you, I planned to tell you later." The old lady held Dong Yuan's hand and said with a smile, "Why, you don't want Qiangwei to follow?"

Dong Yuan wanted to take Qiangwei to Sheng's house, but not as a concubine.

But she couldn't tell the old lady about this.

The old lady loves Dong Yuan, but the old lady is a woman of this era.Women in this era regard their husbands as the key link, and not being jealous is one of women's virtues.It is one of the responsibilities of a wife to take concubines for her husband and raise children for her husband's family.If she said that she didn't want to take Qiangwei there, the old lady would definitely think that she was petty and ignorant, and would worry about her.

This is a conflict between the mainstream concept of this time and space and the thoughts of Dongyuan's later generations, and it cannot be reconciled by emotions.

"Grandmother, I like Qiangwei very much, and I want her to go to the Sheng family. She is diligent, careful, smart and knowledgeable. If she can manage the affairs of the house for me for the rest of her life, I will save a lot of worry." Dong Yuan Slightly lowering her head, her voice was muffled, "If she married Teng, I really wouldn't have such a capable person around me. Tangerine is too honest and its fragrance is childish, it's not as good as Qiangwei."

In other words, she didn't want Qiangwei to be Teng's concubine.

When she was young, no woman wanted someone else between herself and her husband.There is nothing you can do if you already have a concubine.

Dong Yuan has a long way to go before marrying into the Sheng family.As Teng's concubine, Qiangwei can control the other concubines in Sheng Xiuyi's house, and act as a villain for Dong Yuan, and Dong Yuan has a good reputation; if Qiangwei is the mother in charge of Dong Yuan's house, no matter how powerful Qiangwei is, Dong Yuan will be blamed Now, she will be called a shrew.

The old lady sighed slightly, and said to Dong Yuan: "Sister Yuan, grandma knows what you mean. Go back and think about it, Qiangwei Teng married in the past, whether it is good or bad for you! No matter how prosperous she is in the future, I will always be there for you. Our family has been a servant of our family for the rest of my life. For this alone, she will be restrained by you all her life and cannot stand up. If someone else marries in, grandma is afraid that her heart will not be enough, and when she is proud, she will try to bring you down and trip you up. "

This is also the benefit of the maid in the family bringing the concubine to marry.

If it was someone else, Dong Yuan might compromise when grandmother talked about it to this extent.

But she just couldn't bear Rose.

As a noble concubine, no matter how loyal Qiangwei is, she has to think about her own children, and also wants to win her husband's favor.And her opponent is Dong Yuan.

She didn't want to be an opponent of this maid.This servant girl is smart and has extraordinary knowledge. With such an opponent, Dong Yuan will be very tired.

Teng married a daughter in order to protect her future and her status in the Sheng family clan. It was agreed between the old lady and Mrs. Shizi, and Dong Yuan could no longer refuse.

Putting aside her belief in marriage loyalty in her previous life, the family marrying someone for her is indeed for her own good.No matter how awkward she feels, she will accept it.But she wants to fight for it, she doesn't want Qiangwei to be this concubine.

"Grandmother, I know that you are planning for me..." Dong Yuan raised his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were filled with water, "I can't bear to part with Qiangwei. If she becomes Teng's concubine, will she really be as loyal to me as she is now? You Now that she's been fixed, then...that's her..."

Very aggrieved and pitiful.

When the old lady looked at it, she felt a little distressed, and her eyes were not soft and hesitated a little.

Dong Yuan's sentence "Will you still be as loyal to me as you are now?"The old lady wanted to go to Qiangwei's Conghui again.It's good that such a woman doesn't have any wrong thoughts, but once she has any wrong thoughts, it will be a disaster for Dong Yuan!

When going back, Qiangwei couldn't wait to ask Dong Yuan: "Miss, did you ask clearly? Madam Shizi asked me to be Aunt Zheng's goddaughter, why?"

Dong Yuan smiled lightly: "I just wanted to ask, but Mother Zhan interrupted, probably because she couldn't tell me. Just wait patiently..."

After two or three days, if the old lady softened, she would probably change to someone else, and Dong Yuan would be able to find an excuse to prevaricate Qiangwei.She didn't want to tell Qiangwei the truth, so as not to leave traces in her heart.If the old lady chooses Qiangwei in the end, she will know sooner or later; if it is changed, let her know, it will only leave some ripples in her heart.

It's no good for them.

Back at Shicui Pavilion, Dong Yuan felt a little bored.

Now she is really like a patient.Those things that irritate her are like bitter medicine, making her sick, and she is unwilling to accept it, but she needs to pinch her nose and swallow it in exchange for a healthy body in the future.Already sick, she has to endure the medicine she hates to get rid of the disease!

The fact that the Xue family will marry Teng is something that Dong Yuan cannot change.The only thing she can do is fight for herself, this person is not Qiangwei!
