concubine leisurely

Chapter 118

A warm pavilion in the back garden of the Princess Funing's Mansion.

"It's snowing so much, you can still go out and play while you're pregnant," Li Shi, the wife of the concubine's second son Ren Shuo, stood beside Aunt Ji in elegant woolen clothes, quite aggrieved, "Brother Huaihan When I was a child, I couldn’t even go out of the house, and the people of Hefu went to Qingxu temple to have a sacrifice, but I wanted to raise my baby in the house! It’s really a person who is more angry than a person, after all, he has a hard waist.”

The charming Aunt Ji wears a cloud-digging light yellow piece of golden water-red orangutan felt Zhaojun suit on her head, wearing a lotus-green bucket pattern with flowers and foreign thread silk crane cloak, and feet pinching gold-digging cloud red fragrant deerskin Small boots, very delicately dressed.Holding a small white jade hand stove in her hand, she gave her daughter-in-law a sideways look: This is too much to hold back.Sure enough, he was from a small family, so he really couldn't do it.

no way.No matter how proud Aunt Ji is with the son-in-law, no matter how favored Ren Shuo is with the son-in-law, after all, Second Young Master Ren is just a concubine in Princess Funing's mansion, and the daughter-in-law of any decent family is willing to marry.It's not that Aunt Ji hasn't had troubles before. Every time she made troubles, her son-in-law Ren Woxing forced Princess Funing once. Princess Funing tried her best, but in the end she only told Li, the daughter of an eighth-rank official in Beijing. Shi.

Aunt Ji didn't follow her.Helplessly, Princess Funing said, "You don't want a concubine daughter, you must want a concubine daughter; this is the best family background among the concubine daughters who are willing to marry the second child. If you don't believe me, just go out and ask." Ren Woxing saw the pressure. It was useless to go, and I was discouraged, saying, "As long as the girl has a good character, it will be fine."

Mrs. Li has a good appearance.When they first got married, Aunt Ji and Ren Shuo were more or less satisfied. After a long time, they found that Mrs. Li had no brains, no scheming, and no calculations.It's no wonder that although Li's ancestry lived in the middle of the capital, she was just a low-level official. When she was a girl, she was served by only a stupid little girl. How could such a poor girl have any knowledge and heart.

"Is it possible that only the daughter of such a family is willing to marry in the dignified princess mansion? This Funing is really deceiving!" The princess was very dissatisfied, and often blew the pillow wind in Ren Woxing's ear; often after she finished blowing the pillow wind, Ren Woxing would go to Princess Fukong's room to scold and make trouble.

In fact, Princess Funing was wronged.When Ren Shuo was negotiating marriage, the first emperor was still in power, Princess Funing's mansion had no power, and the Ren family was gradually declining. Whose family's prostitute would marry the Ren family's concubine?Princess Funing has been looking for a concubine daughter who is talented and well-born, but Aunt Ji and Ren Shuo just don't want it, and they are determined to marry a concubine daughter into the family.

Even after the death of the first emperor and the succession of the present emperor, Princess Funing's mansion becomes the most powerful and impressive princess mansion in the capital, there will still be no prostitute who is willing to marry Ren Shuo: Ren Woxing loves concubines, It's notorious to neglect his first wife, but now the powerful one is Princess Funing, what's the use of marrying a concubine.It is a fool who has gained the reputation of clinging to the powerful for nothing, but has no real benefits.

"Why care about these trivial matters?" Aunt Ji smiled gracefully, "It is serious to win over Li Li."

Li Li is the housewife that Princess Funing bestowed on Ren Lei to the fourth son. She is beautiful and smart. Although she can serve the fourth son, she has to drink the soup to avoid children. It is obviously hopeless to have children.People don't have a hundred days, and flowers don't have a hundred days. When you are young and beautiful, you can't give birth to children. When you are old, can you just pull it out to be a servant?After thinking about it, Li Li took refuge in Aunt Ji, and with the advice and help of her experienced Aunt Ji, she secretly poured out the Bizi Tang, and now she is two months pregnant.

What's more, Aunt Ji went out in person and tried her best to persuade Ren Woxing, "After all, it is the fourth son's own flesh and blood, and your own grandson. It is necessary to save this child."

Xinran is pregnant, but I don't know if it's a boy or a girl.It stands to reason that the son-in-law has not yet been born, so we can't let the girl in the house give birth to the child.If the eldest son is born, the family will be in chaos.Princess Funing was also concerned about this, and wanted someone to give her an abortion decoction.But Ren Woxing refused to follow her life and lost her temper, "Women should be free from jealousy! This child is my own grandson, who would dare to take his life?" Princess Funing has always felt guilty towards her husband over the years, and she is very gentle and submissive Seeing Ren Woxing being so stubborn, he lost his mind for a moment.

"I married an ignorant girl from a small family for my son, but I chose a daughter from a famous family who is generous and generous." Aunt Ji was dissatisfied and wanted to make trouble, "Let Li This girl Li gave birth to the eldest son of the fourth child, let's see how he will have a headache in the future!"

Seeing someone approaching from afar, Mrs. Li hastily reminded Aunt Ji. "What's the rush?" Aunt Ji silently gave Li a glance, and she was still so far away.

When the visitors approached, it was clear that it was Aunt Ruan who brought her third lady, Ren Qingqing, in a snow hat and sable fur, slowly coming, each supporting a little girl, and behind each was a servant woman holding a green silk umbrella . "I just gave birth to a frail little girl, what a show." Li Shi was disdainful in her heart, and she was not very respectful on her face, she just greeted lightly, "Auntie, third sister."

Aunt Ruan and Ren Qingqing were courteous and thoughtful, and greeted the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with a happy face, saying, "I want to go to Meilin to see." Then they left.

Aunt Ji was very good at socializing, she sent the two away with a smile on her face, and looked back at her unworthy daughter-in-law, feeling angry in her heart.I hate Princess Funing even more: where did I find such a stupid woman!
Aunt Ruan and Ren Qingqing went to the plum forest, Aunt Ruan picked a plum blossom in her hand, enjoyed it for a long time, and sighed, "Qingqing, let's settle the matter of the Lan family."

Ren Qingqing was shocked.She has passed her age and is discussing marriage.The Lan family is discussing the bastard son of Marquis Wu'an, Lan Po (póu, which means to gather). Whether it's family background or talents, they are all ordinary.

"Let's take a look again?" Ren Qingqing said weakly.In the mind of a young girl, she is still unwilling to marry such an ordinary husband.

"That's right, what's your dissatisfaction?" Aunt Ruan said indifferently, "You are the concubine of the Ren family, married to the concubine of the Lan family, what a perfect match."

"Yes, yes," Ren Qingqing wanted to say something, but in panic, she didn't know what to say. "But, you are the concubine of the Princess Mansion. The Princess Mansion is in a good time now. You are wronged by the Lan family. You are not reconciled, are you?" Aunt Ruan continued slowly, "Qingqing, people must be content .The Lan family is quite a kind family. It’s not bad for you to marry. Don’t think too much about it.”

Seeing her daughter's unconvinced face, Aunt Ruan was very helpless. Knowing that the child's temper was a little stubborn, it would be impossible not to speak clearly, so she smiled wryly and said in a low voice, "No matter how late it is, I'm afraid there won't even be such a child."

"How come? How come?" Ren Qingqing tightly grasped Aunt Ruan's hand, "The momentum in the mansion is just right, mother often goes to the palace, how many noble ladies come to the mansion to flatter mother!"

Aunt Ruan sighed, "It's good that the princess has a generous disposition, but you are a concubine, no matter how much you call the princess mother, after all, you are not the princess's own. How can the princess treat you well? It's up to you. I'll just find you a reasonable husband's family. What else do you want?"

Princess Funing has always been patient with her son-in-law in every possible way. I heard that the Queen Mother and the Emperor have long been extremely dissatisfied.This time, the son-in-law Ren Woxing offended the civil servant Meng's family. That Mr. Meng, who is famously doting on his daughter, can let the girl get pregnant?Civil servants are the most frightening, if the Meng family takes action, I'm afraid it will be unlucky, not only Ren Woxing, but also concubines, aunts, concubines and concubines will all be implicated.

"Princess, you are too cautious," Aunt Ruan said melancholy. "When the late emperor was here, the empress dowager and the emperor kept a low profile. It is understandable for her to endure grievances. Now that the situation is like this, she is arrogant and domineering." No one dares to criticize her, but she still behaves like a virtuous wife to her son-in-law, it's really frustrating."

If the princess shows her prestige, she can live a long and comfortable life for a long time: the princess will not care about food and clothing with a submissive concubine; Whether it's the queen mother or the minister who doesn't like it, someone will always take action to punish Ren Woxing.My mother and daughter will only follow suit.

Ren Qingqing was still hesitant.Aunt Ruan sighed and did not force her.In the evening, I found out that the fourth young lady of the Pingbei Hou Mansion was staying, "It's snowing and the road is slippery, so it's not easy to walk; the two sisters haven't seen each other for many days, and I can't bear to be separated." Aunt Ruan got up suddenly, and begged to see her Princess Funing, I begged the princess to agree to the Lan family's marriage.

Princess Funing has nothing to do, Ren Woxing doesn't care about the concubine, so the matter is settled like this, Aunt Ruan is careful with her, with a smile on her face, "Tomorrow is a good day", she can't wait to make a decision tomorrow , which amused Princess Funing, "So there is such an impatient woman?" But because she was always respectful and never caused trouble, she was a worry-free person, so she agreed casually.Anyway, to her, this matter is just a word, and she has her own servants to handle it.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Aunt Ruan breathed a sigh of relief.Surrounded Princess Funing to flatter and flatter her, until Princess Funing got tired, then she resigned with tears of gratitude.

Ren Qingqing was dissatisfied for two days, and on the third day, she began to admire her far-sighted mother-in-law: Xia Jin wrote the letter, the princess is the king, and the son-in-law is the minister. The princess and the son-in-law should build separate houses. If the son-in-law wants to meet the princess, The sign must be handed over first, and the princess will be allowed to see it.

As soon as the memorial came out, many civil officials in the court seconded it.The emperor was also refreshed and was approved immediately.On the fifth day, an attendant came to Princess Funing's Mansion to pass on the Queen Mother's oral order: the son-in-law will be appointed as Woxing, and he will move to the Prince-in-law's mansion in the west of Beijing from now on, accompanied by concubines and concubines.

Ren Woxing is a person with a temper, but his temper is useful to Princess Funing, but it is of no use to the meat servant who was ordered by the Queen Mother.In the end, no matter how furious he was and how unwilling he was, he still left the princess mansion in despair, and took away all his concubines, concubines, and concubines.

"Three girls' marriage, I will ask someone to discuss it." Aunt Ruan pleaded at Princess Funing's feet, and the kind Princess Funing knew that she was worried about Ren Qingqing, so she responded generously.

Aunt Ruan kneeled and kowtowed, thanked her solemnly, took Ren Qingqing out with tears in her eyes, and followed Ren Woxing to the son-in-law's mansion.

Can this also be called a "government"?After entering the door, everyone was dumbfounded. The place is nice, it is very big, and it can completely accommodate this mighty group of people, but the house is old, full of scars, wilderness everywhere, and there is no place to stay.

For a moment, the pampered concubines cried loudly.Ren Woxing stomped his feet resentfully, "Who dares to tease the master like this!" Angrily, he wanted to find Princess Funing to settle the score, but he couldn't enter the house at all.I endured my anger and handed over the sign, but was not summoned.

When Xinran returned to the princess's mansion, there were only Ren Yan and Ren Lei, Princess Funing's own family, in the mansion, which was very clean; needless to say, Li Li had already been sent to Zhuangzi, where he was given abortion soup and made a village. It's up to Han.

"It's nice to have a mother's family." Xin Ran sat comfortably on the kang to rest, resting her head on Ren Lei's lap, allowing Ren Lei to gently stroke her hair.

That day, after knowing the truth, Meng Zhengxian was furious, and picked up Ren Lei to beat him, but no one stopped him; Ren Lei knew he was wrong, and lowered his head in shame, only his aunt's voice could be heard clearly, "Beating people can't see Don't slap your face."

Zhong Wei laughed first, and Meng Zhengxian wanted to laugh too. He held back with great difficulty, and asked his brother-in-law with a straight face, "Do you know what's wrong?"

"I, I shouldn't be negligent and let that cunning girl pour out the Bizitang..." As soon as Ren Lei said that, everyone present shook their heads.

"You shouldn't want a housewife at all!" Although Meng Zhengxuan couldn't do anything, he could speak. "My wife is pregnant, but you leave her to suffer alone and go have a good time by yourself. Do you have the heart?"

Ren Lei was dumbfounded.He had never heard that statement.In his mind, it is perfectly normal for his wife to have maids and concubines to serve men when his wife is inconvenient. As long as he respects his first wife, treats his first wife with dignity, and does not spoil his concubine and destroy his wife, he is a good man and husband.Besides, Xinran herself, didn't she still push herself out, asking the girl to serve her?
After being taught a lesson one by one by his uncle and brother Jin, Ren Lei said foolishly, "I went because I was willing to push me out."

Xin Ran was educated by her two sisters-in-law, "Why pretend to be virtuous? Tell your husband the truth! If you don't tell me, how will he know?" Even if he knew it in his heart, he pretended not to know.

Xin Ran cried and said to Ren Lei, "When you go to someone else's room, my heart feels like a knife!" Ren Lei looked at his wife in a daze for a long time, slowly wiped away her tears, and slowly understood some things that he didn't understand before.

How should things be resolved?You can't let a girl give birth to a child.Zhong Wei blurted out, "Tell Dad, let Dad go and reason with Princess Funing's mansion!"

"Why tell daddy?" leisurely smiled, "it's a simple matter, we can handle it properly." Dad is getting old, so it's better for children to handle such trivial matters.

A man like Ren Woxing doesn't need to reason with him at all, just use his strength to fight.He only recognizes strength.

The emperor and the empress dowager had been looking forward to such a memorial for a long time, so they couldn't wait to get it, and couldn't wait to send someone to send Ren Woxing away.

"Brothers with one heart, their profits cut through gold" This is the truth.Parting, leisurely confessed to Xinran again and again, "You must remember that Ren Woxing must not be allowed to enter the princess mansion again, not even once."

Ren Woxing?A teasing smile appeared on Xin Ran's face, he would never come back to disturb his peaceful and beautiful life with this cunning treasure.

Ren Lei bowed his head down, caressed his belly happily, and smiled sweetly at her husband, "Mother treats us the best, husband, we must be filial to her old man."
