Chapter 64 Dowry (2)

Dong Yuan was slightly stunned, isn't it a treasure scarf?Why was the dowry concubine Teng replaced by Xue Jiangwan?
She remembered Mrs. Sheng's visit some time ago.

"The Sheng family wants to marry her for the son?" Dong Yuan's eyes were soft, without resentment or shock.She calmly accepted this fact.

Now that she has come to this world, she cannot fight against the mainstream ideas of the entire world on her own.In this world, a prominent patriarch without a concubine would be ridiculed.Dong Yuan is very pragmatic, she is the daughter of the Zhenxianhou Mansion, she will marry into the right family in the future, she never expects that there will be no concubine in her future marriage.

This concubine is Xue Jiangwan who thinks she is very smart. Compared with Qiangwei, she is more tolerant.At least this woman is not Dong Yuan's opponent.

This is the inequality of marriage in ancient times.

In marriage in this period, men were superior to women, women were subordinate to men, they obeyed their fathers at home, and obeyed their husbands after marriage. They never had autonomy.She has the title of princess and a powerful natal family. Her husband's family dare not abuse her, dare not beat and scold her arbitrarily. Compared with those women from poor families, compared with those wives who are humiliated, beaten or even bought and sold, She is very happy.

How can we expect an equal married life like the future generations?

Only when people are not greedy and do what they can, can they live more comfortably.

But Dong Yuan's calmness made the old lady think it was a kind of compromise.

Both the old Hou Ye and the old lady moved slightly, feeling distressed.

"Sister Yuan, do you know why grandma made Xue Jiangwan your dowry concubine?" The old lady looked solemn, and before Dong Yuan could answer, she continued, "Actually, grandma was optimistic about the scarf, but she changed it temporarily. Xue Jiangwan, because Mrs. Sheng doesn't like her."

Wan'er in the old lady's population has become Xue Jiangwan.

Mrs. Sheng doesn't like her?

Dong Yuan didn't quite understand.

The old lady told Dong Yuan about Xue Jiangwan picking up the jade gourd pendant of Lord Shengchanghou, and then sneered slightly: "When she came to our house in the first lunar month, she said she didn't know who gave her, and that person refused She told the name taboo that she only knew people from the capital. But at Yonglian Temple, when she heard that Mrs. Sheng was coming, she deliberately sprinkled soup on her body and went back to her room to change her clothes. When she came out, there was a pendant around her waist, which was the son of the Marquis of Shengchang She knew in the first month that the person who sent her was Shengchang Hou Shizi, and she deliberately took other people's things to save herself. In the first month, she provoked you and sister Shu, why? Hmph, she thought Enter the palace!"

Dong Yuan was astonished.

The old lady snorted coldly again: "She provoked Sister Shu first, but Sister Shu was smart and ignored her, and she thought of you again. Fortunately, you sisters are all transparent children, and you were not tripped by her. The matter was brought to light , She knew that there was no hope of entering the palace, and she also knew that you were going to marry into the Shengchanghou's mansion. She probably guessed your intention of marrying into the Shengchanghou's mansion, so she renewed her idea of ​​being the son of the Shengchanghou's mansion."

It all shows that it is easy to hide a gun and hard to defend against a hidden arrow. If Xue Jiangwan knew that the person who sent her was a prominent person, and thought that his own status was low, he might marry into an ordinary poor family.

And she wants to live a prosperous life, and she thinks she is smart and beautiful, so she stole Sheng Xiuyi's personal things for later use, Dong Yuan is not surprised at all.

Judging from Xue Jiangwan's performance these days, she can do it.

She originally came to Beijing relying on the meager blood relationship between her uncle and Zhen Xianhou Xue's family. She and her relatives did not show favor to the Xue family, so why should the Xue family plan for her?
Finding a reliable person to marry her would be kindness of Mrs. Xue.

So when I learned that the eldest son of the benefactor family I stopped on the way, the future hereditary marquis, being a concubine to him was more honorable than being a wife to an ordinary person.

Xue Jiangwan has a big heart.When she came to the Xue family, she knew that the Xue family had a daughter who was going to be sent to the palace, and that the fifth miss, Xue Dongrong, was unwilling to go. As long as both Miss Nine and Miss Eleven were hurt, she could enjoy the benefits.

Only now did Dong Yuan realize that Xue Jiangwan's thinking was too simple, she didn't want Dong Yuan to enter the palace and then give her favors.She wanted Dong Yuan and the eleventh girl Xue Dongshu to lose both sides in the fight, and she would reap the benefits of the fisherman.

She really thinks that the members of the Xue family are fools!

Now, there is no hope of entering the palace, and she has offended Mrs. Xue and the two young ladies of the Xue family, and one will be the third-rank concubine Shu. Her future has been ruined.

So she thought of the back-up who had stayed back at the beginning - Master Shengchang Hou Shizi?
In front of everyone, display Shengchanghou's personal belongings. If the Sheng family keeps silent, she can tell the old lady that when she was on the road, she had an affair with the son of Shengchanghou?The old lady was originally dissatisfied with this marriage, but she might hate the Sheng family in the future.

And Xue Dongyuan also had resentment towards Shengchang Hou Shizi.

Xue Jiangwan was forced to die again, and he was unwilling to marry someone else.With the token in hand and resentment in her heart, the old lady will definitely want the son of Shengchang Hou to marry her.She is a girl from the Xue family, and she was a concubine when she married her.She is petite and beautiful, and if she provokes his wife Xue Dongyuan, who already had a grudge against Shengchang Hou Shizi, and caused Shengchang Hou Shizi and Dong Yuan's husband and wife to fall out, Xue Jiangwan will replace him sooner or later.

It is very beneficial to Xue Jiangwan.

If the Sheng family made it clear that they wanted to marry her, she would be the concubine the Sheng family wanted to marry, with a higher status, and she would be the only one in the concubine's room.

According to her self-righteous intelligence, maybe she will overwhelm Dong Yuan in the future and become the second wife, right?

No matter how she calculates, she is profitable.

But grandma said that Mrs. Shengchang Hou didn't like Xue Jiangwan, which Xue Jiangwan never thought of, right?
Perhaps the attitude of the Sheng family and the Xue family exceeded Xue Jiangwan's expectation?
Dong Yuan couldn't help being funny.

"... She is so petty and restless. She thinks that she is a guest, so I will treat her badly and insist on causing so many things." The old lady smiled darkly, "She wants to be a noble concubine , I will fulfill her and let her be your dowry concubine. She is a noble concubine, but she is subject to you and attached to you all her life. Sister Yuan, if you want to kill her, or even kick her out, it's up to you Her child is your child after birth. Although she has a higher status than the concubine of the son of the Sheng family, she is not as good as the concubine in front of the mistress. Men protect the concubine, but they cannot protect the concubine Teng. .”

That is to say, even though she is Sheng Xiuyi's concubine, even though Teng's concubine has a higher status than noble concubines, she will always be in Xue Dongyuan's hands.

The premise is that Xue Dongyuan can hold her.

The old lady seems to be very sure about Xue Dongyuan's methods, so she is not worried that Xue Jiangwan will be unfavorable to Xue Dongyuan in the future.

"Grandma can hear Madam Sheng's dislike for Xue Jiangwan in her words. Sister Yuan, the more she can make troubles in the future, the safer you will be. Madam Sheng doesn't like her, so naturally she will deliberately promote you to suppress her " Mrs. Xue laughed again, but she lost the anger just now, with a little color, "Sister Yuan, grandma doesn't want such a thing to disgust you, but it is also helpless for the Sheng family to accept her as a concubine. She is holding the personal belongings of the eldest son of the Sheng family in her hand! Grandma also wants to let her disappear without knowing it, but after thinking about it, letting her go to the Sheng family for a walk is the best for you, as long as you can hold her. Yuan Sister, are you afraid of her?"

Dong Yuan looked at the sharpness and determination in her grandmother's eyes, and laughed: "She is not as good as my mother. Grandma, whether there are one or two troublesome people around her is predestined. There will be others. I understand her behavior and have seen her methods, but I feel at ease."

She meant that Xue Jiangwan was not as good as Fifth Madam Yang.Dong Yuan is not even afraid of Yang Shi, so how could he be afraid of Xue Jiangwan?

Old Madam Xue smiled and hugged her in her arms, and said with a smile: "Good sister Yuan, if you can think like this, grandma can feel at ease."

Then he smiled slightly and said, "When you come to the Sheng family, you must respect your husband. No matter how powerful a woman is, without a man's help, she is just a fly shaking a tree. When you marry, don't worry about how noisy those concubines are, so that men can't leave You, your mother-in-law trusts you, that's the root."

This topic is a bit embarrassing, Dong Yuan coughed.

Old Hou Ye also laughed.

The old lady was dissatisfied: "Sister Yuan, you don't care about it!"

"Grandmother, I know!" Dong Yuan resisted embarrassment and embarrassment, "In the family, my husband and mother-in-law are the foundation, and the concubine's room is the icing on the cake. As long as I can be liked by my husband and trusted by my mother-in-law, I can Stand firm, and then no one can threaten me. I understand..."

She seemed to be telling others about her view of marriage for the first time.

In her past and present lives, she was married for the first time, and it was the first time she had to face the relationship between husband and wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.It was easy to think, but she was embarrassed to say it.

But if she didn't say anything, the old lady thought she didn't understand, so she wanted to worry about her.

My grandmother is over 60, but she is always worried about her, how can I bear it?
Hearing Dong Yuan's words, not only the old lady, but even the old Hou Ye's eyes lightened slightly, looking at her in surprise.The old lady smiled and said: "That's what it means, my sister Yuan is the smartest!"

Dong Yuan didn't go back to his room until the beginning of the Hai Dynasty when he talked with the old lady and the old master.

On April [-]th, there were three days before Dong Yuan left the pavilion.According to the custom of the Sheng family, three days before the bride leaves the court, the sisters who are close to each other will come to get together to say goodbye and talk about their daily sisterhood.The Xue family has a large population, and there are some good friends on weekdays.

But Dong Yuan has always been tired of dealing with people and things in the mansion, and has no experience in making friends with sisters outside.

So Xue Dongrong and Xue Dongshu's sisters, the twelfth girl Xue Donglin, the thirteenth girl Xue Dongyan, and the fourteenth girl Xue Dongxian from the fifth room came to accompany Dong Yuan every day for three days.

Until April [-]th, Dong Yuan's dowry was brought to the Shengchang Hou Mansion, and Xue Jiangwan, wearing a fresh red wedding dress, followed the dowry senders to the Sheng's house.

Tomorrow is the day when Dong Yuan leaves the pavilion, and tonight the lights in Zhenxianhou's Mansion will stay on all night long.

Xue Dongrong said to Dong Yuan: "Jiumei, I will sleep with you tonight, let's talk to sisters..."

Xue Dongshu, the eleventh girl, also said, "I'll sleep with Ninth Sister too."

It should be the mother who sleeps with her daughter and teaches her about the boudoir.But Yang Shi started to say that she was not feeling well in the afternoon, probably to avoid the embarrassment of sleeping with Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan was always worried about how he would get through the night, Yang Shi would be embarrassed to be intimate with her, and so would she.Hearing that Mrs. Yang was not feeling well, Dong Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.

Since Mrs. Yang is not coming, Xue Dongrong and other accompanying sisters can stay.

"Okay!" Dong Yuan happily replied, she was really afraid that Yang's body would recover soon, and she would be persuaded to accompany her again, and she would not know how to deal with it.It would be best if Fifth Sister and Eleventh Sister stayed with her.
