The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 247

After Yu Qiao's Seventh Seventh, the marriage between Yu An and the young master of the Fan family was settled quietly.

Fourth Young Madam with her belly out—although she hasn’t shown her bosom yet, but her waistline is thicker than usual—come to Mingde Hall to talk to Seventh Lady, and while having tea, she sighs with Seventh Lady, "After all, Ping is unlucky, no matter how much we persuade, we keep saying that even the second sister doesn't want it, so naturally she doesn't want it either."

She is Yu Ping's sister-in-law, she can say something, but Qin Niangzi can't say it, so she just laughed, "Everyone has their own fate, and Yu Ping's high spirits are not a bad thing."

The fourth young lady curled her lips, disapproving, "With Yu Ping's appearance, is it possible that he can still be selected into the palace? I'm still young, so I don't know whether this appearance is important. The most important thing is being a good person!"

Fourth Young Master's appearance alone is indeed mediocre.

In the past, Mrs. Fourth Young Master often came to talk to Mrs. Qin for tea, and the two of them have gradually become familiar with each other. They are not as rusty and polite as they were a year or two ago. Mrs. Seven smiled at Mrs. Fourth Young Master, and teased her, "Yes, just be with Mrs. The fourth brother of our family is the same, although he looks average, but he loves his wife and knows how to make progress, that's good!"

The fourth young lady's face was filled with joy, but she still knew to be humble, "Speaking of the people in the house who love you, who dares to compare with the sixth younger brother? I don't know about others, but I just envy you for your ability to control your husband day and night! "

Although there are Tongfangs in Mingde Hall, why can't women who have been through personnel affairs see the grudges from the corners of the eyes and brows of these so-called Tongfangs?In addition, these noble ladies are surrounded by old mothers who are good at watching women, so the two complement each other.Who doesn't understand whether these Tongfangs are real Tongfangs or fake Tongfangs?It's just that the words were not clear, so the fourth young lady had no choice but to envy Qin Niangzi around the corner.

Speaking of Tongfang, a little haze flitted across her delicate and beautiful face, "Oh, even if Yu Qian didn't speak, and my mother-in-law went back to Xiaotangshan, I think that in less than two months, there are still a few newcomers to be promoted in the house." .”

At that time, it was a matter of course for a large family to promote several new housekeepers during the pregnancy of the mistress.Especially the fourth young master who has been away for many years, the only Tongfang girl who is favored has died of a miscarriage. It is also difficult.Even if Mrs. Xu doesn't care about things, and the fourth young master doesn't speak up, Mrs. Tai sees the favor of her relatives and indulges the fourth young lady, and there will always be an elder, Ping Guogong, in the mansion.The invisible pressure that the Fourth Young Madam felt would never be small.

Seventh Lady could make an agreement with Xu Fengjia that he would never be allowed to get involved with the second woman, but it was impossible for her to speak out such treasonous thoughts to the Fourth Young Madam.I had no choice but to vaguely persuade Madam Fourth Young Master, "You have to take care of this kind of thing yourself. Even if it's for others to see, you should choose someone who is beautiful and easy to handle. It's good to block other people's mouths." of."

The Fourth Young Madam sighed heavily. "You are a person in a honeypot, how do you know my suffering?"

There was a bit more bitterness in her words. "Now that I don't mention this matter, Yu Qian will pretend to be fine. If I am promoted, he will dare to sleep in the Tong room. But at the end of the day, isn't the promotion of Tong Fang just to serve him? I What else can I say?"

Her voice sank, she rubbed her stomach with one hand, and her face seemed either worried or happy, showing a look of love and hate, sweetness and distress.

Seeing it in her eyes, Seventh Lady sighed in her heart.

Xu Yuqian was already good enough to Mrs. Fourth Young Master, and he didn't mention the matter of Mrs. Fourth Young Master dragging the room. He knew that he was not bad to Mrs. Fourth Young Master.As far as Da Qin is concerned, a man who does this is already benevolent and righteous, and his wife has nothing to be picky about.

But after all, it was Qi Mei’s intention to raise the case, and the worry in the fourth young lady’s heart was by no means aimless... No matter according to the Daqin etiquette system or social customs, it is normal for a wife to be pregnant, and to promote people in the house to satisfy her husband’s desires. thing.Once the fourth young lady promoted Tong Fang, she lost her position and asked the fourth young master not to enjoy their service.

Although there is resentment in my heart, looking at the expression of the Fourth Young Madam, I still love the Fourth Young Master more than I hate him.

Alas, women are not up to date like this. Once they don't have the capital to support themselves, no matter how much desire they have in their hearts, what can they do?Love it or hate it, don't you want to spend the rest of your life with him?

Sure enough, the Fourth Young Madam, after being so careless for a while, finally found an opening to vent.

"If Wufang hadn't pretended to be magnanimous and virtuous," she said angrily, "we wouldn't be as boring as we are today. We couldn't control our man and told him to plant a seed in my concubine's stomach. You want to swell your face to make yourself fat, and act like Meng Guang!"

Whether Meng Guang took the initiative to accept a concubine for Liang Hong is something that has not been clearly stated in history. After hearing the complaints from the Fourth Young Madam, Seventh Lady couldn't help but joke, "Fourth Sister-in-law can see clearly."

In April, after Yuqiao's May [-]th, Mrs. Wu brought the matter of Tongfang's pregnancy to the surface.Not only did he openly ask Qiniangzi for miscarriage medicine, but he also asked Mrs. Tai and Duke Pingguo specifically to ask for the title of concubine for this housemate.

If Madam Xu hadn't gone to live in Xiaotangshan again, Madam Fifth Young Master would not have been able to do so well.Shun Shun put the matter in front of Duke Pingguo: Except for the big house, the young wives of several houses have no children of their own for the time being. Fang was promoted to aunt.Compared with the two young ladies of the fourth and sixth rooms, they seem to be a bit inferior.

This move was originally aimed at Seventh Lady alone, but she didn't want to make it difficult for Fourth Young Madam, so she walked to Mingde Hall a lot more times, and there was a bit of common hatred between her words the meaning of.

Seeing that Qi Niangzi returned so calmly, the Fourth Young Madam couldn't help feeling a little anxious, "Don't take this matter lightly! I'm afraid you don't know the father-in-law's temperament. The old man is the most annoying in his life... "

She paused, and said reluctantly, "It's getting more and more obvious. The old man has also seen the battles in the mansion over the years. In the final analysis, it was not because of my mother-in-law..."

The Fourth Young Madam took a look at Qin Niangzi, and seemed to suddenly understand the identity of Qin Niangzi, she stopped talking and touched her stomach with a little embarrassment.

Qin Niangzi has already made up her mind.

Ping Guogong himself is a concubine, and he is a lord because Mrs. Tai has never given birth to a male in her life.People who were born as bastards always have a natural sympathy for the bastards and aunts.

And Mrs. Xu's natal family is strong, and her methods are strong, so she must have been very strong with her aunts back then.If everything can follow her will, even if Xu Fengjia is not the president, at least she will be the second or third child in the family.

Just before him, Duke Ping gave birth to five concubines... There must have been many quarrels between the two husbands and wives back then.

With Mrs. Tai as a virtuous example first, and Mrs. Xu as a jealous example later, Duke Pingguo must have his own requirements for the generosity of his daughters-in-law.Fifth Young Madam's move was really a coincidence, without saying a word, it made Seventh Lady and Fourth Young Madam look ugly.

She tilted her head in thought for a moment, then smiled slightly.

"Fourth sister-in-law, don't worry about this." She comforted the fourth young lady in a low voice. "The child in this stomach is your amulet, what should I do, you don't know what to do?"

Although Qin Niangzi spoke in a cryptic manner, she had already awakened the Fourth Young Madam with one word. She touched the hand on her stomach, and became a little more careful all at once.

"Sixth brother and sister's move is really high!" Fourth Young Madam's whole body seemed to light up. "Fourth sister-in-law takes your love!"

I couldn't help but feel a little worried, "But Mr. Zhong's temperament is not so easy to talk..."

Seventh Lady pursed her lips and smiled, "How many years has Mr. Zhong been practicing medicine? Don't worry, be careful, Mr. Zhong will definitely not spoil your business."

The Fourth Young Madam held Qin Niangzi's hand affectionately, "The Sixth Brother and Sister are really resourceful!"

It seemed that she felt that she was too happy to forget herself, and she was a little embarrassed, and instead cared about Qin Niangzi, "Then what should you do? I see that your father-in-law's attitude towards you has faded a lot. I didn't reprimand you explicitly, but the meaning behind the words is not pleasant."
