The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 64

The fact that Mr. Wang was taken off his hat did cause quite a disturbance in the court.

The fourth aunt quickly regained her spirits, and even the third lady had a smile on her face again.

The Wang family was already in turmoil, so naturally they didn't have the heart or face to come to the Yang family to propose marriage, and the third lady's marriage returned to the original point.

If we lose our horses, we can't know what a blessing is.

If she had really agreed to the Wang family at that time, she would not have easily regretted the marriage with the grand master's promise... After marrying into the current Wang family, the third lady would not be so comfortable.

The eldest wife was unusually not bothered by the fourth bedroom's joy.

Since the news came to the south of the Yangtze River, during the entire twelfth lunar month and the first lunar month, the carriages and horses never stopped in front of Yang's house, male guests and female guests took turns taking turns, the elder and eldest wife were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink water.The eldest wife even had a cough, asked the doctor to delay the medicine, and made a fuss, and the fourth lady suffered from asthma every spring, and this year the illness was a bit serious. Everyone in Baifang Garden was busy with work, and the house was at peace. .

In a blink of an eye, it's April again.

It wasn't until the end of April that the eldest wife thought of asking someone to go to Yuhang to pick up the first lady and go home for the Dragon Boat Festival.

The first lady gave birth to the granddaughter of Li's parents in the first month of this year. Although they are not males, the Li family is very happy.

The eldest wife was very emotional, and said to the elder, "It's still comfortable to marry at a low price."

Not long after Er Niangzi married into Dingguohou's Mansion, she began to preside over Zhongfu. The Sun family has a great business and many miscellaneous things. In the letters between Mrs. Xu and Mr. Qin and the Yang family, it is mentioned that Er Niangzi lost weight within a few months of marriage. Quite a lot.

The old man was also very happy, "The first lady is blessed, it depends on whether the eldest son-in-law can be admitted to Juren this year."

If you are admitted to Juren, you are qualified to buy an official, and you won't raise your head in front of the second uncle Sun Liquan.

The eldest wife smiled and nodded, "I heard that the eldest son-in-law usually studies very hard! I don't even leave the study when I'm free."

The sisters also discussed to stay with the first lady for a few more days.

"At the moment, it's the eldest sister and the second sister, and I'm afraid the third sister and the fourth sister will also go out soon!" The sixth lady sighed like a little adult, "The population in the family is getting smaller and smaller. "

This is the case in a family with many daughters. The more people marry, the fewer people are married. In the end, only Brother Jiu is left.

"There will be new people too!" Seventh Lady smiled and comforted Sixth Lady, "There are so many aunts at home...Tongfang..."

Sixth Lady looked at Seventh Lady and smiled.

In the past few months, the old man has alienated the people in Huanshawu, and only rests in Xikefang.

I don't know what to do if I don't know what to do if I make a frosty day. I throw pots and bowls all day long, as if I can't show my favor if I don't make a little noise.

But... the eldest lady didn't ask Qin Niangzi to ask for advice.

After all, Brother Nine was still a little impetuous. Although he had good intentions, his actions finally made the eldest wife feel a little suspicious of Qin Niangzi.

Seventh Lady was not restless.

As early as the night when Brother Jiu was injured, she had expected this day.

There is no hurdle to overcome.

As long as she can continue to follow the low-key route to the end, it's impossible for the eldest wife to doubt her until she gets married, right?In a few months, this unfounded suspicion will naturally dissipate.

While chatting, the sisters went out to study at home.

The third lady and the fourth lady are holding hands, they have already gone far.

Wu Niangzi mentioned the eldest son-in-law Li Yixing, "...When I came to marry me, I happened to be ill, so I didn't see the appearance of my elder brother-in-law. I came to give the gift last year, but I was not there. I don't know if he will be here this year. I will accompany my eldest sister to Suzhou."

Liu Niangzi laughed and said, "Eldest brother-in-law is just one nose and two eyes, honest and honest, not too handsome."

Wu Niangzi rolled her eyes, "It depends on who you compare with. If you compare it with the ugly champion, the eldest brother-in-law can be regarded as a handsome young man, but if you compare it with the leader of the Yinhua case—"

The ugly No. [-] scholar is referring to Fan Zhihong, the leader of the Shangke. Although he is also a young talent, Er Erlang won the No. [-] at the age of [-], but he is so ugly that even the emperor exclaimed when he saw him. All over the world.

In the past few months, Wu Niangzi has always been actively discussing Feng Jin.

Qin Niangzi sighed in her heart and had no choice but to comfort herself: a little girl of this age always has a spring heart, and it is normal to be moved when she meets a good-looking boy.

I'm afraid that in a few years, Wu Niangzi will forget this name.

Liu Niangzi also said curiously, "It's so strange that the head of the case is closed. He worshiped Zhang Shibo as his teacher, but he didn't follow Zhang Shibo to see his father."

With the status of the Yang family, a scholar who is the head of the case can get a little edge, and it will be of great use in the future. Feng Jin has entered Li Wenqing's family, and was recommended by Li Wenqing to Zhang Weiting. It's really puzzling how a noble person can't further curry favor with the Yang family.

Qin Niangzi didn't want to linger on this topic any longer.

Jiu Yiniang's status is humble, and few of the Yang family members remember her maiden name Feng. However, if there are too many discussions, it may be difficult to keep this secret that is not a secret.

With the identity of Jiu Yiniang, it is inevitable to bring embarrassment to Feng Jin.

"Mrs. Wang came to the door again yesterday." She mentioned the seventeenth wife of the sixth room of the Wang family.

Fifth Lady and Sixth Lady both looked accustomed to it.

"The Wang family is in such a mess now, she doesn't care much about her mother and Mrs. Zhang, how can Mr. Seventeen's business continue?" Fifth Lady called Seventh Lady, "Yang Qi, you should think about what's going on inside when you encounter problems. The reason. In the past, when the Wang family was on the rise, Mrs. Wang and our family couldn't move around so diligently."

Seventh Lady could only smile slightly.

The three little girls turned into the main courtyard.

Just happened to bump into the second wife face to face.

"Second Aunt!" Several people hurriedly saluted.

The second wife smiled all over her face, "Are you back from school?" She said again, "I just said that it's time to enlighten Ba Niangzi. In a few days, I will send her to study at home."

Recently, the second wife came to the door more diligently. Although the eldest wife was not very enthusiastic, but seeing her come to the door a few times, Brother Nine didn't make any mistakes, so he gradually relaxed his face.

A few people stood in the courtyard and said a few words, and then went back to the house.

Only after Qiniangzi entered the main room of the western side courtyard, Li Xia greeted her with a cup of herbal tea, "It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, and the day is getting hotter."

Shangyuan and Zhongyuan placed bowls and chopsticks on the small round table in the house, "Today, there is a three-steamed preserved meat that girls like to eat."

Qin Niangzi smiled and said, "I'd like to eat half a bowl more." While undoing her skirt, she went into the clean room, washed her hands and dusted off the ashes, and came out to sit down and eat.

"Girl usually eats too little." Li Xia was serving by Qin Niangzi's side, while talking to her about trivial things, "It's time to grow your body, so you should eat more."

After eating and taking a nap, I got up and went to Zhu Yingtai to embroider.

The days went on like this.

#
On the other day, Yuhang finally came and someone delivered a letter, saying that the first lady had already left Yuhang, and she might arrive in Suzhou in a day or two.

The eldest wife finally found Seventh Lady to talk.

"It's time for brother Jiu to move out of the main room." She cut to the chase.

Seventh Lady was taken aback.

"Brother Jiu sees that he is growing up day by day and still living in the main room, so it's a bit out of place." The eldest wife did not notice Qin Niangzi's surprise. "Fifth Lady is almost ten years old, so it's not good to live in the main courtyard anymore."

Sometimes male guests come into the main courtyard. It didn't matter to Wu Niangzi when she was young, but after ten years old, it would be inconvenient to come and go.

It seems that the eldest wife wants to move Wu Niangzi into Baifangyuan and move Jiuge to Dongpianyuan.

Seventh Lady understood what the eldest lady meant.

Brother Nine has always been by the wife's side, and he doesn't have his own personnel team.

Ever since the two eldest maids, Xiaoxue and Chu Shu, have been suspicious and relegated to go home, and even the two new replacements have suffered because of Brother Nine's injury, only Lichun is left to take care of Brother Nine. After a few months, everyone in Lichun lost a lot of weight. ... It is too difficult for Li Chun to expect her to take care of Brother Nine alone.

Besides, if you are independent in the East Side Hospital, you can't mix with the people in the eldest wife's house.

She just looked at the eldest wife quietly, waiting for the eldest wife to continue talking.

"However, it's really hard to pick the maid next to Brother Jiu." The eldest lady couldn't help showing a little sad face, "I don't know what's going on. There are moths around me!"

Seventh Lady still laughed and didn't speak.

The eldest wife had no choice but to solve the mystery by herself, "I watched it coldly for a few months, but I think Li Xia next to you is a steady one, look..."

She looked at Qin Niangzi with piercing eyes.

Seventh Lady was a little funny.

If the eldest wife thinks that such a method can test her mind, she will underestimate her.

"Li Xia is young and not very sensible yet." She replied calmly, "Besides, she followed Xiao Qi from the Southern Courtyard. I'm afraid, her behavior is a bit rustic..."

The hesitation in the words is clearly reflected.

Qin Niangzi's acting skills have never been very good, otherwise, she really wanted to act more nervously and go too far.

The eldest lady's expression widened.

If Qin Niangzi's heart and soul were to win Brother Nine, she would naturally not miss such a good opportunity.

This kid still knows how to measure it!
He couldn't help but think of the incident in front of Huanshawu.

If what brother Jiu said is true, there will be nothing about Qiniangzi in it.

In the past half a year, I watched coldly, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Liu usually talk more than Xiao Qi...

The eldest wife sighed, revealing a little real irritability.

"One day old, two days young, and I live in the same room, it's a bit unreasonable."

Compared with the official rhetoric just now, although the meaning is the same, the tone has been changed to intimacy.

Seventh Lady was also frowning with the eldest wife. "In the past two years, the mansion has been very uneven! There are still many unsolved mysteries..."

The eldest lady looked at Qin Niangzi and smiled knowingly.

Still a child after all.

Although it's none of my business, but given the opportunity, I still can't help but want to inquire about it.

Only children can snoop so clearly.

She half-concealed and told Seventh Lady, "I'm afraid it's Third Aunt who is causing trouble!"

Seventh Lady's eyes widened.

There are some vague thoughts in my heart.

The biggest difference between ancient people and modern people is that they have too little knowledge.

To nature, to ghosts and gods, the ancients held a devout awe.

Words like this would of course be dismissed as nonsense in modern times, but in this era, many people seriously explain the strange things around them to ghosts and gods.

Brother Nine's unreasonable and inexplicable behavior, if it is because of Third Aunt Niang... everything can be explained in one go.

"Who is Third Aunt..." She finished her sentence in half before swallowing it back.

A trace of hatred flashed across the face of the eldest lady, but there was also clear fear.

"It's all in the past!" She took it lightly, and folded her hands together, "This time, I specially built a seven-day dojo for her in Guanyin Mountain. No matter how much resentment there is, it's time to reincarnate!"

Seventh Lady hurriedly straightened her face, and accompanied the eldest lady to recite a few times to the Buddha.

But in my mind, I thought about when the eighth aunt passed away, the elder ordered to do things for the third aunt.

The eldest wife discussed with Qin Niangzi again, "Speaking of which, even Xiaoxue and Chu Shu can't rest assured, and I don't know how many people in this yard can rest assured."

Which of the maids who can enter the main courtyard to serve does not have a large family behind her?
Everyone is begging for life in the Yang family, even if the maidservant's loyalty can be guaranteed, who can know what the family behind her is thinking?
Qin Niangzi also sighed, "Like Lichun, the family doesn't have a lot of people, but they can be honest maids. It would be great if there were more maids."

The eldest wife also sighed, and for a while, she really looked a bit thirsty for talents.

"Even with Lichun, she is still not enough..."

Qin Niangzi couldn't help being overjoyed - from the tone of the eldest lady, she would not have any other ideas about Li Chun.

For a respectable family like the Yang family, the elder would not even take a second look at the maids in his son's house.

Even if he had any thoughts about Lichun at first, I'm afraid he has forgotten it now.

Even though this matter has nothing to do with Qiniangzi, and Lichun rarely went to the west side courtyard in the past six months, it is really happy.

In a deep house and compound, there are too few things that can warm people's hearts.

A girl with fancy clothes deserves to have a husband who is completely her own.

The two talked a few more words, but Qin Niangzi couldn't come up with a better way.

She has always been reluctant to interfere too much with Brother Jiu's yard.

The eldest wife had no choice but to let this go beforehand, and talked about the marriage of the third lady. "...Sifang Jiantian whispered in the master's ear, saying that he wanted to settle the third lady's marriage before the Wang family came to the door."

Originally, the eldest wife and the elder master had discussed it, and when the Wang family came to propose marriage, they used an excuse to reject the marriage. After a year or so, after the rumors passed, they would talk about marriage for the third lady.

Now the Wang family is too busy to take care of themselves, and they have no intention of mentioning marriage. Fourth aunt wants to take the opportunity to settle the marriage of third lady, which can't be said to be a bad idea.

After all, San Niangzi is also 14 years old this year. If she really wants to wait for the Wang family to come to propose marriage before she refuses, the delay will be two or three years.Girls can't afford to wait for their youth.

However, judging by the appearance of the eldest wife, she is planning to get married with one card and three wives.

Seventh Lady chuckled, and teased the eldest lady, "You don't have to worry, Sifang has done a lot of bad things, and I have my own rewards to wait for, maybe someday the Wang family will really visit..." She was uncommonly mean to Fourth Aunt a handful.

The eldest wife was amused by Qin Niangzi and laughed, "I never knew that Qi Niangzi had such a clever mouth!"

Seventh Lady smiled shyly.

The best way to have a good relationship with someone is, of course, to have the same likes and dislikes as her.

Although Qiniangzi is not good at acting, it is not difficult for her to express her dislike for Fourth Yiniang.

Sure enough, the eldest wife became a little closer to Qin Niangzi.

"Actually," she pondered for a while, and revealed to Qin Niangzi, "In March, the Gui family trustee from Tianshui brought a message, and they also wanted to marry us."

Seventh Lady frowned.

Baoji Yang, Tianshui Gui, the Gui family is also a wealthy family in the northwest, and they have frequent contacts with the Yang family. Seventh Lady is not familiar with the Gui family.

However, the eldest wife received the letter in March, but she only mentioned it to herself now...
