The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 123

In Xu's family, she needs help from her natal family, and this help is also owed to her by her natal family.

Or it was because of this reluctance that the second lady left, and the elder asked the seventh lady to talk.

"Don't worry about family matters." His tone became kind again, as if the quarrel with Seventh Lady had already drifted away. "What kind of anger did you get at the Xu family? Bear what you should bear, and send letters to your family if you shouldn't bear it... You don't need to trouble Uncle Lian Shi, it's better not to trouble."

Of course Seventh Lady understands the Elder Master's scruples.

Daqin is no better than the previous dynasty, and now the emperor is the lord of England. It is really embarrassing and taboo for the daughter of the Yang family to communicate with the eunuch Lian.

Ever since he knew the name of Eunuch Lian, the Elder Master must have worked hard in private. Now that he can say this, it is obvious that he has a bottom line on the origin of Eunuch Lian.It is reasonable for him to be more polite to Qin Niangzi.

After several reflections, Seventh Lady also adjusted her attitude towards the Grand Master.

She was sad and angry because she had expectations. Her expectations of the Elder Master were once too unrealistic.A politician, no matter how amiable he is usually, the most important thing in his heart is always his own political interests.

She has always been bad at acting, and wanted to be ashamed, but she could only lower her head and look at her feet, showing a look of complete convincing. "Xiaoqi knows how to behave and won't cause trouble for the family."

If she is willing to set up the stage, how can the elder have the intention of going down the slope?
"A lot of things are in the past." He pressed Qin Niangzi's shoulders and told him softly, "You still have to look forward. You can find out about your Fifth Sister if you can. If you can't find out, don't be too serious. Force ourselves. We are more careful than anything else."

Seventh Lady smiled, "Xiao Qi knows it well."

The elder sighed from the bottom of his heart: Seventh Lady is usually very easy-going, she is rarely so stubborn, how can she be alone on Xiao Wu's death...

After all, he swallowed back the unfinished words in his mouth.

The eldest wife has a completely different attitude.

"You have to be careful." Finally, I still remembered to tell Seventh Lady first, "The female family members of the Xu family are not simple roles. No matter who committed the crime, it is definitely impossible to sit still and die."

Seventh Lady kept her eyes down and said nothing, and let the eldest wife do her own thing.

"No matter who it is, you just need to give mother a name, and you don't need any evidence! The rest will be left to mother... to your uncle!" The eldest wife showed a rare murderous look.

It is conceivable that the life of the murderer's family will not be too easy. The eldest wife will definitely seize every opportunity to attack her natal family behind her.I believe that even the Elder Master doesn't mind teaching this murderer a lesson.

At the same time, it is not a fun thing to fight against the Yang family, most of the Qin family, and the younger half of the Sun family.

If she wants to, the three sisters-in-law will go through it one by one, and I am afraid that the eldest wife will be willing to be the knife in her hand.

Or, she was simply waiting for an excuse to attack, waiting for the day when all the culprits suspected of killing Wu Niangzi would be killed.

"Xiaoqi knows how to do it." She raised her mantra again. "Mother, don't worry..."

After entertaining the eldest wife, she was able to go back to the backyard to rest.

The huge backyard was empty, and most of the cages had already been sent to the Xu family to show off the wealth of the Yang family.

Seventh Lady entered the main room, looked around the empty room, and sighed rarely.

It would be a lie to say that I was not nervous.

An unknown murderer, a few difficult sisters-in-law, an old mother-in-law who fought equally with her mother-in-law, and several uncles and uncles with their own magical powers.

And that unpredictable husband.

This is not only very different from her ideal life, but also runs counter to it.

But... it is not impossible to practice ideals.As long as you sincerely want to achieve something, there are always more ways than difficulties.

Brother Nine's laughter came from outside the house again, and Qin Niangzi quickly regained her composure and put on a slight smile.

It was precisely because Brother Jiu was the only person in the house who cared about her happiness that she didn't want to show her reluctance in front of Brother Jiu.

"Ninth brother is here." Zhongyuan smiled and lifted the curtain for Jiu brother, "Have another bowl of tea made by the servant, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it in the future!"

Brother Nine waved his hands grinningly, "It's as if I can't go to Xu's house!"

After the maids served tea, they naturally exited the room knowingly. Brother Nine sat down and drank a few sips of tea, looked left and right, and took a long time to look carefully at Qinianzi.

The two sisters have grown up to this day, and there are obvious differences. The seventh lady is beautiful and graceful, like a ray of silk and bamboo sounds in the Jiangnan water town, but the ninth brother is dense and calm, warm and moist, with a certain charm of Fengjin.

He lowered his thick eyelashes and looked at the few drops of wax beside the candlestick.

"Seventh Sister is getting married tomorrow."

Qin Niangzi also looked at Brother Jiu with her hands propped up. Hearing this, she nodded with a smile, "Yes, I'm going out tomorrow. From now on, I won't be able to take care of Brother Jiu."

For some reason, her throat suddenly became somewhat constricted.

"You should study hard, and don't worry about the mess at home." She warned softly. "When Miss Quan's family comes over... think about the mother who passed away... you have to treat her well, even if you don't like her, respect her more, don't favor concubines and kill wives, and fight between wives and concubines. The joy of Miss Quan's life , it’s in your hands, you treat her well, she treats you well, and the two of you live in harmony and beauty, that’s how you live your life.”

Brother Jiu's eyes were also red, and he responded in a low voice, "Okay!"

He then asked Seventh Lady in a low voice, "The Xu family, does Seventh Sister really want to marry?"

Brother Nine had asked Qin Niangzi about this the night he arrived in the capital.

Seven Lady also knew that she couldn't have a second answer.

Given how much Brother Nine attaches importance to her, as long as I answer a single no, it will immediately be another bloody family revolution. Is there any other way to go besides creating estrangement between father and son and mother and son?

This is not a storybook novel, without the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, she would not be able to ask for another marriage.Elopement is purely a dream, no household registration, no matter how much money there is, a weak woman is still at the mercy of others, besides, where can she find someone to elope with her?
The road is really a dead end, with no life at all.

That being the case, why let Brother Jiu feel uncomfortable with him?

Seventh Lady forced herself to smile.

"It's not like you don't know...my cousin and I have long been..." She tried her best to play joy. "Fate is like this..."

Brother Jiu sighed again.

Qin Niangzi knew that she hadn't cheated this clever twin brother after all.

"Still blame me." Brother Nine's voice was as low as a mosquito's. "I told you to wait for me to grow up... But I didn't expect that I grew up too slowly, but you married too early..."

Seventh Lady's tears fell one after another.

Brother Jiu sighed deeply again.

He pressed Seventh Lady's head onto his shoulder.

"Are you afraid?" Brother Nine's question was transmitted to Seventh Lady's ears like a sigh.

Qin Niangzi's tears fell even more.

She wanted to say that she was not afraid, and she didn't know why she was afraid, but she was indeed afraid.

She is afraid of Xu Fengjia's unknown attitude, afraid of the war between Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Tai, afraid of an unknown murderer, and afraid of Duke Ping... The Xu family is like a giant beast waiting with its mouth open. In its belly, no matter how brave Seven Lady is, she is still afraid after all.

"No matter how afraid...you have to get married!" She cried and laughed at herself, "Could it be that you're still staying in the Yang family, seeing how your parents look...you have to face many things!"

"If my cousin treats you badly, tell me." The voice from Brother Jiu's chest slowly shook Qin Niangzi's eardrums, "Tell me whoever treats you badly, even though I still Small, but soon, it will grow up!"

Seventh Lady suddenly thought of Jiuyiniang again.

What Jiu Yiniang hopes most is that the two children will grow up safely, get married and have children, and live in peace.

Although countless bitterness and blood and tears were hidden behind this peace, this day is finally coming soon.

At an auspicious time the next day, Xu Fengjia came to marry Seventh Lady in a fourth-rank scarlet official uniform.

According to the etiquette and customs in the south of the Yangtze River, Mrs. Xinke wants to drink wine at the door, but there is never such a saying in the capital. Although the salute is lively, it is also solemn.Everything should be done, and all arrangements will be announced by the officiant.

Seventh Lady dressed up and waited in the back hall early in the morning, only to hear countless voices standing up and kneeling in front of the hall to pay respects. , and Xu Fengjia saluted opposite - wearing a hijab, she was just looking at a pair of shoes that's all.

The old man coughed softly, as if commanding, "Going to my daughter's house, obedience is the right thing, and I will never forget to be respectful."

These are all etiquette and customs. Seventh lady bowed to the old man, and only heard the old lady whispering in her ear, "Be respectful and refrain, and don't disobey my uncle's order." Seventh lady said in a low voice, "Er Chen listen to me Do not be ashamed to be a parent."

This was the last court training before leaving the pavilion. Seventh Lady nodded and received it one by one. Someone handed over a piece of red silk. In her eyes full of red, she held the red silk in her hand and walked out of the pavilion slowly.

The sedan chair arrived at Xu's house soon, and through the hijab and the sedan chair curtain, one could vaguely see the red and colorful decorations inside and outside the entrance of the alley, full of joy.The firecrackers outside the sedan chair shook the sky, and the sound of congratulations could be heard everywhere. Not long after, Xi Niang helped Seventh Lady get off the sedan chair.

She was dressed in the full garb of a woman of the fourth rank, led by the groom, holding the red silk in her hands and stepping on the tapestry, and slowly entered the main room. First she paid her respects to her grandmother, then her aunt. Seventh Lady could still vaguely feel the Xu family's wealth.

After finally entering the bridal chamber, a treasure vase full of grains was stuffed in her hand. Seventh Lady sat upright and bowed her head. Not long after, accompanied by laughter, someone shouted, "The general is here!"

Amidst the loud congratulatory sound, a sword suddenly reached under the hijab, and Seventh Lady was startled, only to hear Xi Niang laughing, "When a military general gets married, the hilt of the sword lifts the hijab. The bride should not be alarmed."

Sure enough, the sword hilt inlaid with turquoise and decorated with gorgeous and exquisite patterns paused for a moment, then lifted up, picked off Qiniangzi's hijab, then turned back to support her chin, and gently raised it, forcing Qiniangzi to raise her head .

Her water-shearing pupils met a pair of eyes as deep as the sea without any defense.

Xu Fengjia's expression was as calm as still water, without sorrow or joy.
