Black-bellied Xianggong: Cute wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 54 Helpless Reality
Aunt Luo said without raising her head, "Go home."

"Go home?" Fourth Mu was anxious, "You haven't...the secret recipe for having children hasn't worked yet, so you're leaving now, don't you want a son?"

Aunt Luo paused in her hand, but immediately began to pack her things again, and said: "I can't take care of it for now, you didn't hear what the old lady said just now, she urged your elder brother to quickly take a new concubine, if I If you don’t hurry back, I’m afraid the newcomer will enter the door!”

Mu Laosi urged: "As long as you fail to conceive a son, the newcomer will enter the door next time if you don't come in this time. You can guard against it if you come back? Listen to me, or continue to stay and talk about it when things are done." .”

Aunt Luo raised her head, glared at him, and said: "This kind of thing is so urgent, besides, as long as a new concubine enters the house, there is a possibility of pregnancy, what if we let her give birth to a son first? So, I'd better go back and deal with the new concubine, and come back when I have a chance next time."

Mu Laosi made sense after thinking about it, so he didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

Aunt Luo packed her bag, put it on her arm, and hurried to the main room with her skirt in hand, telling Mrs. Guo that she had some things to do in the city, and she would come back to accompany her next month after finishing.When she was in the country, she was willing to spend money because she had a key point, and Mrs. Guo liked her a little, so she nodded with a smile.

It seemed that Aunt Luo was afraid that the newcomer would enter the door, so she couldn't hold her breath anymore. Mu Qingwan laughed secretly, and didn't care too much, but turned her eyes to the outside of the door, where Hongjiao was walking out of the courtyard accompanied by Shi Tianci. Behind them, there are several strong men, helping to carry the cage.Didn't Hongjiao come here to join Shi Tianci in a down-and-out situation? Where did she get all these things? It must be the condition she discussed with Mu Laosan just now.It seems that she has made up her mind to take root here and help Shi Tianci, so she can't be idle, she has to make a good plan... Mu Qingwan looked back and began to think in her heart.

After lunch, the Dafang family boarded the carriage and began to drive towards the city. Mu Qinglian was in a bad mood because of the defeat just now, and was depressed; Aunt Luo was thinking about how to stop Mu Changguang from accepting a new concubine, but kept silent Sound, the car was extremely quiet.

Back home, Mu Qingwan, who was jolted to pieces by the carriage, immediately called Xiao Cui'er to help her, and went into the house to rest.

Before Mu Changguang got out of the car, he threw a sentence to Kang: "I will leave to you what the old lady ordered."

Kang quickly said: "I'll ask someone to inform Ma Daya on West Street, and tell her to bring someone to the house early in the morning."

Mu Changguang nodded, jumped out of the car and left. From the beginning to the end, he didn't look at Aunt Luo, as if he was afraid of her.

Aunt Luo stood where she was, bit her lower lip tightly, stared at the direction Mu Changguang left, and refused to go back to the room. The Kang family had something to do, so they ignored her and went away. Mu Qinglian had taken two steps in. After thinking about it, he turned back and said to Aunt Luo: "Who made you narrow-minded and unable to tolerate others, and drove away my uncle's previous concubines? This time he is determined to accept a new one." Concubine, I am afraid that you will stop me, so I simply ignore you."

Aunt Luo said angrily: "Your elbow is too turned outward. Anyway, I am also your aunt. Could it be that your uncle invites a new concubine in and I fall out of favor. What good will it do you?"

"Idiot." Mu Qingwan cursed, turned around and left.

"Stop!" Aunt Luo yelled angrily, stepped forward and grabbed her arm, "tell me clearly, why am I so stupid? If you don't understand, I'll tell your uncle Go, say you have no respect!"

"You are just a concubine, what kind of elder am I?" Mu Qinglian shook her arm contemptuously, broke away from her hand, and said, "You are not convinced when you say you are stupid, you stop my uncle from taking a concubine, but just leave me alone It's just a bad reputation, it's better to pretend to be a virtuous and virtuous person, welcome the newcomers with a smile, and then slowly figure out a way."

Aunt Luo laughed when she heard her words: "Qinglian, this shows that you are an innocent girl. How can you slowly think of ways to get pregnant and give birth to a son?" ? If the newlywed is lucky, I’m afraid she’ll be pregnant on the wedding night before you make a move, and I won’t even have time to cry!”

What she said was too explicit, Mu Qinglian's face turned red like something.

Aunt Luo was still laughing, she waved her hands and said: "I can't listen to you about this matter, I have my own opinion, you go back and rest, just wait and enjoy the blessings with my aunt, even though you don't like me very much, I still Pity your niece."

Mu Qinglian's face was hot, and she felt that it was inappropriate to say anything at this time as she was unmarried, so she twisted her body and left.

Aunt Luo looked in the direction of the main room, and said with a smile to herself: "I really think I'm useless, I just lived a comfortable life for a long time, and suddenly saw that the third girl changed her temper and messed up. I want you to take a good look at my methods, the three years of doting are not for nothing."

After finishing speaking, he went back to the room with a handkerchief, called Luokui to serve him loudly, and asked Sophora japonica to pour water to soak his feet.

In the west chamber, Mu Qingwan was lying on the bed, and Xiao Cui'er helped her beat her legs. The warm spring breeze blew in from the window, making her drowsy.Seeing Mu Qingwan's upper and lower eyelids glued together, Xiao Cui'er couldn't help but ask, "Miss San didn't sleep on the way?"

Who could sleep in that carriage!Mu Qingwan sighed, raised her head, glanced out of the window, and asked, "Is no one out of the East Corner Courtyard?"

"Go out? Where are you going?" Xiao Cui'er was a little puzzled.

Mu Qingwan didn't answer, but asked again: "My mother sent someone to inform Ma Daya on West Street?"

Xiao Cui'er could understand this question, and replied: "Our family's buyers are all looking for Ma Daya, he has been a regular customer for many years."

Mu Qingwan had a lot of questions right now, and after asking this, she immediately had another question: "Is Aunt Luo familiar with Ma Daya?"

"Familiar." Xiao Cui'er replied quickly, "There are generous gifts every year and festival, so I just ask her to be my godmother."

Sure enough, no wonder she had to see the movement, Mu Qingwan asked again: "Why did she get close to Ma Daya?"

"I don't know about that." Xiao Cui'er shook her head.

Mu Qingwan didn't continue to ask any more questions, she thought for a while silently, and motioned for Xiao Cui'er to rest, while she got up from the bed and went to the main room.

In the inner room of the main room, Mrs. Kang was sitting under the window, embroidering a crabapple flower. When she saw Mu Qingwan coming in, she said helplessly: "Qingwan, you should embroider the dowry even if you play with words. Let mother do the work."

For some reason, Mu Qingwan's eyes were covered with mist. She walked up to Kang and sat down, leaning her head on her shoulder, and asked softly, "Mother, do you have to take a concubine?"

Kang looked at her in surprise, and replied with certainty: "Our family doesn't have a son yet, so of course we have to take a concubine."

Do you have to have a son?In fact, she can stay at home and recruit a new relative, and she can also take care of her parents!Mu Qingwan almost blurted out such an idea, but suddenly realized that she was too self-righteous to have such an idea—recruitment is not just for fun, it means that she has the qualification to inherit the family property, and this family , belonged to Mu Changguang and the Kang family, she was just a free-spirited daughter, not even the deity, so what qualifications did she have to claim inheritance?In other words, even if she wants to recruit a relative, it must be done if Mu Changguang is willing, but it is obvious that Mu Changguang hopes to leave the family property to his son. I thought about it.

This is real life, not a novel of doing whatever she wants, she is just an ordinary traveler, without the aura of the protagonist hanging over her head, so it is better for her not to say such annoying words.What's more, as a junior, what position does she have to give pointers to Mu Changguang and Kang's life?Whether they take a concubine or not, that is the matter of their husband and wife, as long as the two of them are willing, that is enough. She has no qualifications to express any opinions.

This is life, not a novel, don't be stupid, don't be stupid, Mu Qingwan reminded herself again, regained her senses, and asked Kang, "Mother, are you going to pick someone from Ma Daya?"

Mrs. Kang nodded, and said: "Although there are many people in Yangxing County, Ma Daya is the only one who has become famous. If we don't buy from her, who else can we go to?"

Malaya is the only option?Mu Qingwan frowned, lowered her head to think for a while, leaned into Kang's ear, and whispered: "Mother, listen to me, don't deal with Ma Daya, or..."

After hearing this, Kang shook his head again and again: "Your father is picky, how can this be done, it's not like we don't have money."

Since they have to take concubines, they naturally have to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks. Mu Qingwan sighed and said: "Mother, firstly, our family only wants a son, which is the best choice; secondly, Come on, do you think Aunt Luo will let you buy a concubine smoothly?"

"How is this possible? Are you thinking too much?" Kang's face was full of suspicion.

After being bullied for three years, the Kang family can still think of Aunt Luo's interests, which is really admirable. Mu Qingwan looked at her for a while, and began to persuade her.After a lot of dry mouth, Kang finally agreed to do as she said, but his tone was very perfunctory, which made Mu Qingwan very worried.

Back in the west chamber, Mu Qingwan sat alone by the window, looking at the moon in the sky with her chin resting on her chin. Xiao Cui'er came over to watch the night with Jinyu's job, put a dress on her shoulders, and asked, "Third Miss, What are you thinking?"

What are you thinking?Thought the Kang family was determined to take a concubine, but couldn't hide the loneliness in his eyes?Do you think there are too many women's heartache and blood and tears in this patriarchal era that makes people unable to contend?Or do you think that no matter how much she resists, she will eventually lead such a married life?Mu Qingwan stared at the moon in bewilderment for a long time, then got up and said, "I didn't think about anything, go to sleep."
