concubine daughter

Chapter 1
"The dragon and the phoenix bring prosperity!"

"Flowers bloom side by side!"

Two matchmakers greeted two beautifully dressed brides from the Hussar General's Mansion.

The bride under the red hijab of dragon and phoenix came out from the main entrance. The red wedding gown was embroidered with fire phoenixes, and she wore a priceless luminous pearl on her waist. Behind her were more than a dozen dowry maids and a few experienced old ladies. Show its prominent status.

The bride under the red hijab with flowers blooming and stalks came out from the side door. Although she was also wearing a red wedding dress, she didn't have any decorations, so that only the bewitching red was left. There was only a dowry maid beside her, which showed her humble status.

The two brides stepped into the sedan chair together.

The bridal sedan chairs decorated with dragons and phoenixes are dazzling, and even the curtains of the sedan chairs are made of pearls. Just one sedan chair is worth a lot of money; the other one is relatively simple and elegant, with only a little gold decoration, and the rest is Overjoyed red.

There are four people carrying sedan chairs on both sides, but the Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang must walk in front of it to show its important position.

When the sedan chairs arrived in front of the Kaiguohou's mansion, they also entered one at the right and the other at the other side. They were going to perform the wedding ceremony, but they were sent directly to the bridal chamber. (Note: Not one wife and one concubine, they are all wives, but the concubine's husband is seriously ill, and the wedding ceremony is not allowed.)
This is the partial residence of the Hou's Mansion: Liuxiang Yuan and Xiangyiju in Qinxi's Mansion.Qin Xi's Mansion is the second son of Master Hou: the mansion of the second master.

Inside the wedding gate, there are red tents, carved wooden beds, eight immortals wedding tables, and four happy fruits, everything is available, but there is no bride and groom, only the bride in red keeps the wedding room empty. Even though the decoration is prosperous, she can’t smile .

Through Ximen, I could only hear two little girls pruning branches and leaves talking, looking at their attire, they should be ordinary maidservants of Liuxiangyuan.

"Jiaoxi, did you see that? The wedding room is the third grandma who is used by the third master for the wedding ceremony." A plump girl pointed to the wedding room and introduced it to another girl.

"It's becoming more and more unruly. She is the third grandma, how can we inferior people talk about it?" Jiaoxi gave her a hard look.

"The entire Qin Xi mansion is talking about the two new grandmas today, why can't we Liuxiangyuan say a few words?"

Qian Xi quibbled, and continued to say with relish: "I heard that they are all the daughters of the Hushi General, and they married into our Qin Xi Mansion together. The older one became the second mistress, and the younger ones only became the second mistress. In order to be named as the third grandma, she entered the bridal chamber before Tiandi paid her respects. Maybe our third master didn’t like it, and it’s already three o’clock, and let the bride sit there.”

Qian Xi covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes were not big at all, but her face was even more unbearable, and she joked happily: "Do you think the third master has promised a girl from another family, maybe it's one of us!"

Jiao Xi pulled Qian Xi to leave, "Why do you get drunk before you drink? The third master is probably ill, and he didn't come in time, so hurry up, if the third grandma overhears, we will be punished."

"What are you afraid of?" Qian Xi shook off Jiaoxi's hand, "Who am I, Qian Xi? I'm the second master's treasure, and I'm going to raise her to be my aunt in the future, so I'm afraid she won't be a third grandma?"

"You are really crazy. If the second lady hears this, it will be another punishment." Jiao Xi forced Qian Xi to leave.

When Qian Xi left, she didn't forget to leave a sentence, "If I were her, I might as well kill her head-on. I would marry my son-in-law with a shameless face and be a regular wife. Is she worthy?"

In the wedding room, after hearing these words, Man Qing stretched out her hand in her sleeve, and slowly lifted her hijab, revealing her alluring appearance.

She didn't wear too much makeup, her eyebrows were curved like willows, her eyes were like water, her red lips were like fire, her teeth were like gourd rhinoceros, her hands were like catkins, and her skin was like creamy fat.

"Miss, are you going to teach that girl a lesson?" A woman in orange clothes walked in from the door, combing her buns, seeming to be full of anger.She is Manqing's dowry maid, named Yunzhi.

"Who are you teaching me a lesson?" Man Qing's voice was very delicate, and her demeanor was as composed as if it had nothing to do with her.

"Of course it's that rude maid just now. Didn't the girl hear that?" Yunzhi was so anxious that she almost cried. The general's daughter is a person of dignity after all, how can you allow two girls to make irresponsible remarks?
"Of course I heard it, so what?" Man Qing's tone was cold, as if she had seen through everything.

"So what? It's natural to teach them a lesson. If you're so unruly, you won't step on the girl's head in the future?" Yunzhi's expression was extremely angry, as if she was about to eat Qianxi.

"The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, is it worth it for two cicadas?" Man Qing took off the phoenix crown, put it aside, and then picked up the book on the table.

Yun Zhi paused for a moment, hesitated to speak, and then smiled again, "I almost forgot my wife's instructions, don't lose too much because of small things. It's the girl who is thoughtful."

At this time, there was another ironic conversation outside the door, like the two maidservants who passed by here were still talking about Man Qing's life experience.

"I heard that the third grandma was a bastard born secretly, not the general's own daughter." The voice was not very loud, but it was like a sword flying between Man Qing's ears.

This reminded Man Qing of her tragic childhood, she was the illegitimate daughter of General Hushi and Qing Niang.Until the grandfather's family was wiped out, Qing Niang took five-year-old Man Qing to seek refuge with the general.

The general believed the rumors that Man Qing was a bastard that Qing mother stole behind his back. Since then, he has been treating them coldly.

On a general's birthday, the six-year-old Man Qing showed the general a dance he had just learned, but the general hated him and broke Man Qing's leg, making her not allowed to dance for three years.

Every day in the future, whenever the general meets Man Qing, Man Qing will always smile and salute him, but he will only say to Man Qing fiercely: "You are not my child!"

At the Manqing and Ji ceremony, the general's wife intentionally pierced Manqing's scalp with a hairpin. The general stood aside. Although Manqing was in unbearable pain, he remained unmoved. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth. It was a mockery, a sneer. Always mind the rumors from years ago.

He thought that Man Qing was not his child, so he often used the sword bestowed by the emperor to hurt Man Qing's body, admiring the blood and water dripping from Man Qing's body, feeling the joy in his heart.

If it wasn't for the tragic destruction of the grandfather's family, she and Qingniang would not live incognito, would not seek refuge with the general, and would not be threatened by the general because of serious crimes, bowing to the general again and again, she hated the general... But now She can't do anything.
