concubine leisurely

Chapter 69

The old lady kept saying that "Miss Yi" and "Miss Wei" were really not pleasant to hear, and that the three families should be ranked together. If the three houses were combined, Wei Ran would be ranked fifth!
Mrs. Gu seemed to be chatting casually with Mrs. Meng, "Of our three families, sister Yue is the oldest, sister Yi is the second, the sister who was born to Aunt Lu, the one who died, is the third, and sister Yan is the fourth. , My sister Wei is ranked fifth." An Ran, You Ran, and Xin Ran were born in the same year, and they are the youngest of the three.

The old lady Meng nodded and smiled, "That's right, Miss Wei is ranked fifth."

Mrs. Gu knew the IQ of Mrs. Meng best, so she was not in a hurry, and said slowly, "It's a coincidence, Marquis Pingbei is lucky, and he can only marry the fifth woman." Seeing Mrs. Meng's confused face, Gu Mrs. Explain, "Marquis Pingbei is 25 or [-] years old, unmarried, a hereditary marquis of super quality, the prince's mansion is his residence, and he is extremely wealthy. And he has no parents to grow up in the hall, and the new wife is the head of the house after passing the door..."

The old lady Meng interrupted her frowning, "It's not good to grow up without parents! A teenage child has just married, and he should be taught by his mother-in-law!"

Gu smiled and said, "That's natural. Don't say a teenager, it's me. I'm already this age, and I still need my mother-in-law to teach me."

The old lady Meng was very happy, "Who says it is not? An old family is like a treasure. I have eaten more salt than you have eaten. The ideas I give you are better than yours. .”

Mrs. Gu praised the old lady Meng again, and the flattering old lady was very happy, Fang slowly mentioned, "Today Ge Shoufu brought Pingbeihou to visit the second brother. I heard that he is the son-in-law."

"Who are you talking about?" Mrs. Meng still didn't understand.

"Youran." Gu could only speak clearly.

The old lady Meng frowned and said, "This girl is really lucky."It's a lucky one.

Gu smiled and said, "After leisurely passing through the door, she will take care of such a huge mansion. I don't know about the children's family, so I don't care about it."

The old lady Meng agreed, "She can't control it! With her unruly appearance, how can she be such a big family?!"

Gu looked at Wei Ran who was doing needlework outside the window, and slowly said, "If it's Miss Wei, this child is stable, and she will definitely be able to."

The old lady Meng agreed very much, "Yes, my sister Wei must be able to do it."

The two were gossiping, and after a long time, the old lady Meng realized, "Since she said that she wants to marry the fifth woman, sister Wei is the fifth, so tell the second child that you can't choose Youran, but Weiran!"

Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, it was really not easy, the old lady finally thought of this.However, Mrs. Gu shook her head and said, "How can Second Uncle agree? A daughter is always better than a niece. Marquis Pingbei is already an important minister in the court at a young age, and there are too many people who want to marry their daughters to him. How can Second Uncle let him?"

The old lady Meng said triumphantly, "How dare he not listen to my old lady? He dares!" Mrs. Gu sighed secretly, how can he listen to such a big matter with a word from you?Who doesn't want such a son-in-law, how can Meng Lai give it up easily?Mrs. Gu leaned into the old lady's ear, and said in detail, "...by then, it's all done, and Second Uncle has to admit it, wouldn't it be great?"

The old lady Meng smiled brightly when she heard that, "Yes, I'll listen to you." Following Gu's eyes, she looked at Weiran outside the window, and said with a smile, "My sister Wei is only worthy of marrying into the Hou's mansion as Mrs. Hou. A maidservant girl, she is also worthy?"

At this time, Mrs. Gu was "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, so I prefer to go to the mountains." This is too risky, but for the happiness of her daughter's life, she has to fight no matter what.

In the past few years, Mrs. Gu has really worked hard for Weiran's marriage, but there is no one she can look up to.This time, the opportunity is not to be missed.

Thinking of Weiran's beautiful appearance as Mrs. Chaopinhou in the future, Gu felt that she would be happy even if she sent herself to hell.As long as the children are good, what else can I ask for.

Mrs. Meng actually has a little guilty conscience. Since she is a good son-in-law, will the second child be angry if she robs the second room and gives it to the eldest room?After hesitating for a while, I finally thought that Mrs. Yan also wanted to marry a second-bedroom girl at the beginning, and finally changed to Yiran who was a third-bedroom girl. Isn't everyone happy?Old lady Meng became more confident again.Anyway, they just want to marry the fifth daughter of the Meng family, so isn't Wei Ran the fifth?

After leisurely entering the study at night, Meng Lai was still angry.Anyway, it's useless to coax him, You Ran simply stopped coaxing him, and read with relish with a book of stories.

Heartless girl!Meng Lai became more and more angry, and his face became darker and darker. "What's the use of raising a daughter? What's the use of raising a daughter?"

Hearing Meng Lai's self-talk, Lei Ran thought about it slowly, and after thinking about it again, she somewhat understood what the old man was up to.Leisurely put down the storybook, walked lightly to Meng Lai, first served a cup of hot tea, and then graciously squeezed his shoulders and beat his back.

There was a smile on Meng Lai's face, and the father and daughter were gossiping, "We just arrived in Guangzhou at that time, and you were still very thin, like a sick cat. Dad was worried, and went to the study to hug you. At the beginning, Dad reads the official documents, and you play by yourself; after playing, you lie down on Dad’s legs and read with Dad.” At that time, Ayou was thin and small, and he was the best at climbing up by himself, in Meng Lai’s arms. Moving around and sitting comfortably, the father and daughter read official documents and newspapers together.

The child who was originally sick like a cat has grown into a beautiful woman in the blink of an eye, and Meng Lai can't help but sigh.

Leisurely was very moved.A person's upbringing is very important. The reason why concubine daughters are not cared about is not only because of their status, but also because concubine daughters are usually not well-bred. Whose mother-in-law really treats concubine daughters as her own?If it is said to be raised by the aunt, the aunt would not be able to get on the stage, so what kind of good girl can she teach?But as a concubine, Meng Youran was not raised by her aunt or aunt, she was raised by her father.

Although I taught Youran to look like a boy in the end, after all, she walked out with a relaxed and generous expression, which is far from that of a timid ordinary concubine.

In such an era that favors sons over daughters, in such an era where daughters belong to other people's family and sons are their own family, when meeting a father like Meng Daddy, leisurely feels lucky and happy.

Leisurely took a stool and sat at her father's feet, saying that her legs were being beaten, but in fact she beat her twice, just to talk with her father.

"Do you know what happened today?" Father Meng asked angrily.

"Well, I know." Youran confessed very frankly.

"That kid, I've been kind to you since I was a child." Father Meng has always admitted this.

"Father is the best to me." You Ran raised her face with a flattering expression.

"You little girl has a conscience." Father Meng felt a little better, and cursed with a smile.

"And the eldest brother and the second brother are also good to me." Leisurely added.

Meng Lai was very happy when he thought that in Ayou's mind, his father was first, then his elder brother, that brat, he didn't know where he was ranked.The smile on the face is getting bigger and bigger.

"But today, she is very unhappy." said leisurely.Huang Xin didn't know what was wrong, but heard rumors that Marquis Pingbei was coming, that Marquis Pingbei was born so prominently, that he was the young master of Duke Wei's mansion, that he was so capable, and that he had already been made Marquis at such a young age... Huang Xin's face became more and more ugly .

You Ran thinks that Huang Xin belongs to the kind of weak and dependent woman, either dependent on her husband or her daughter. She never seems to have any opinions, and she never even asks about You Ran's marriage. I don't know what happened today.

Meng Lai paid attention.On a date the next day, Huang Xin didn't even want to make out, she just asked, "Who did the master decide for Ah You?"

Knowing that tomorrow will change Geng Tie, Huang Xin looks depressed, "Why don't you discuss it with me."

"What's wrong?" Meng Lai asked warmly, pulling Huang Xin into his arms.

"He was from the Duke of Wei's residence..." Huang Xin was interrupted by Meng Lai before finishing her sentence, "No, if the Duke of Wei came to propose marriage, I would have refused; he has established his own family and will never return to the Duke of Wei's residence."

Huang Xin felt relieved.Meng Lai wondered, "Is Wei Guogong's mansion so scary?"

Huang Xin's eyes were red, "I almost died there, why isn't it scary?"

Meng Lai was taken aback. It turned out that Huang Xin had been sold to Duke Wei's mansion!It's just that Duke Wei's mansion has always had a good reputation, and he treats him generously, so how could it be...?
Huang Xin saw Meng Lai's doubts, and said slowly, "At the beginning, Huang Xiucai wanted to sell our two sisters into a brothel, in order to sell more money. I originally wanted to die, but who would have thought that one of my sisters would be sold out later?" Buying me to be a girl at a high price is higher than selling it in a brothel."

"It's Duke Wei's mansion?" Meng Lai guessed.

"Yes." Huang Xin shuddered lightly, "There is a eldest daughter in Wei Guogong's mansion, and I want to pick some young girls with outstanding looks."

Zhang Jing was the only one in the previous generation of the eldest daughter of Wei Guogong's mansion.Wei Guogong and his wife have only this one daughter, and it is said that she is really loved by thousands of people.Meng Lai was thinking while patting Huang Xin on the back to comfort her gently.

"It was good at the beginning. I learned the rules with my heart, and I was very obedient. The mothers and sisters treated me pretty well. After being a little girl for four or five years, I was chosen to serve beside the eldest lady." Huang Xin said sadly, After that, there will be a period of suffering, Huang Xin gradually grows in figure, and Zhang Jing is arrogant, just because she sees Huang Xin in the mirror is more beautiful than herself in the mirror, she orders Huang Xin to be beaten up .

"It's my last breath." Thinking of the beating, Huang Xin is still afraid, "I didn't do anything, I didn't dress up, I didn't dress up at all." Just such a plain face, still attracts people's hatred.

Just because I look better than others, that's all.Meng Lai hugged Huang Xin tightly in anger and pity.

"Wei Guogong's mansion, someone knows me." Huang Xin thought for a while, fearing that her daughter would encounter embarrassment in the future, she still said, "The sixth young master of the Guogong's mansion has a good heart and saved me." Zhang Jin has always been good to her.

Meng Lai couldn't bear to ask Huang Xin what happened afterwards, so he just hugged her and said with certainty, "Don't worry. Zhang will not go back to Wei Guogong's mansion, and You'er will not have to go back to Wei Guogong's mansion in the future. He won't be as violent as Zhang Jing." woman."

Duke of Wei.

Wearing a homely and half-worn snow satin jacket, Wu frowned and asked, "Has he really made up his mind?"

Zhang Zhao was very helpless, "Ah Bing has been like this since he was a child. He has made up his mind and cannot change it."

Mrs. Wu only felt angry, "This is worthless! I still want to go back to my mother's house and talk to her as a daughter-in-law. My Wu family has been a scholar for generations, and there are a few elders and chief assistants in the pavilion. I can't humiliate him! He is already After being appointed as a marquis and a general, you still only want to marry a maidservant to come to your house, is it nice to say it?"

Zhang Zhao said with a wry smile, "He won't go back to his family. He has already set up his own family, so he can marry whoever he wants." Zhang Bing earned everything by himself, and he can marry a wife according to his own will.Like Ling Jia, he wants to marry Youran wholeheartedly, but he can't make up his own mind.In the end, I couldn't get what I wanted.

Forget it, Ling Jia married Song Consort's daughter and had a good time, so don't think about it anymore.Zhang Zhao shook his head.

Wu said angrily, "Could it be that the Duke of the State just let him mess around?"

Zhang Zhao's anger towards his wife is really incomprehensible, "Didn't it mean that he has set up his own family? How can the Duke control him? Even the third brother has nothing to do with his son. Well, it has nothing to do with us." , leave it alone."

How can it be irrelevant?The Wu family's current daughter-in-law is looking for her husband's family, and she has her eyes on Zhang Bing, and she even said big things, how can she make it through this time?Wu looked at her husband angrily.What's more, if the person Ling Jia once liked becomes his cousin, how can he feel so embarrassed?And say it doesn't matter?
Could it be that he let the maidservant whom he really despised marry into the Pingbei Hou's mansion in a grandiose manner?Thinking of leisurely becoming Pingbeihou's wife, anger rose in Wu's heart.

How can it be so easy!Wu sneered again and again.
