First wife's original manuscript

Chapter 62

Three wives and four concubines were not mentioned in the ancient times. Zeng Rou also understood this point. You can’t measure the feudal system of wives and concubines with modern people’s marriage point of view. Seeing how pitiful the little concubine is, why don't you take the initiative to get out of the way?

If the concubines want to fight and fight for favor, the first wives have to stay far away?

Besides, Zeng Rou instinctively doesn't like concubines and the like, no matter how good a concubine is, she can't get used to it, it's because of her personality.

A luxurious carriage drove out from Zhuangyuan's Mansion, followed by a blue and white horse-drawn carriage in which a maid was sitting. Zeng Rou hurried out before Xu's family left from Zhuangyuan's Mansion.

Sitting next to Zeng Rou was a little girl whom she casually promoted to be a first-class girl. That's right, she was only twelve or thirteen years old. In Zeng Rou's eyes, she was no different from ordinary little girls.

Zeng Rou lowered the car curtain, the buildings and pedestrians outside were dressed in the style of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in Chinese history, but Zeng Rou was convinced that this world was not the real Sui Dynasty in history.

Zeng Rou smiled and said, "Always watch what I do? I'm afraid that what I say won't count, so you can't be the first class? Cherries?"

Yingying hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, servant girl... I have never seen Madam..."

"You mean about the robbery of the carriage just now?"

Seeing Cherry nodded, Zeng Rou asked with a smile, "Did I scare you?"

"My servant is afraid..." Cherry bit her lip, and said worriedly: "Although this servant was bought from outside, I also heard that Mrs. Xu has a good reputation. You robbed her carriage, and this servant is afraid of her...afraid of her... …”

"You see she's making things difficult for me?"

"My maidservants often say that when two tigers get together, unless they are a male and a female, they will definitely fight." Cherry said shyly: "There is only one champion, no matter how virtuous and kind Mrs. Xu is, she will not use it." on you."

"Unexpectedly, I promoted you casually, and I did the right thing!"

Zeng Rou pinched Cherry's cheeks and said with a smile, "Little girl is very smart."

"It's not that the slaves are smart, but that the servants of the Zhuangyuan Mansion say that Mrs. Xu is the lady of the Zhuangyuan. Sooner or later, you will..."

"dead??

"The servant girl said the wrong thing."

"It's okay! It's okay, you don't need to apologize, and don't be nervous." Zeng Rou grabbed Cherry to prevent her from kneeling, and asked playfully, "Everyone dislikes me. Are you afraid of being implicated if you follow me? At that time, I was holding Mochizuki. Liwei promoted you, I will give you a chance, and I can let you go back."

"No need, this servant sold herself as a slave and entered the Zhuangyuan Mansion, this servant recognizes you as master!"

"No regrets?"

Cherry shook her head, "It's useless to regret, it's better to follow you to find a way out, in fact, slave... slave doesn't like Mrs. Xu at all, she is so happy, slave is so jealous, she is a concubine why she Can I live that kind of life? In the past, the slaves had some money in their family, and the slaves were also from the concubines, but the slaves were far behind the sisters who were born in the same way. Later, the family suffered a flood, and the father sold the slaves, but he left behind the sisters and mother who were born in the first place. , Numai...was sick and died on the way, and Numaid said that the slave was not entrusted to be born in the aunt's womb, that's why she was sold."

"Then is your biological mother favored?"

"Usually he is quite favored, but my servant father has never neglected my aunt. He always talks to my aunt about everything. When fleeing, he will take my aunt first."

After hearing this, Zeng Rou murmured: "So my memory is correct, but how did Xu Cifu's family do it?"

The Cherry family is just a rich man from the countryside. Even the rich man knows that pampering a concubine cannot destroy his wife. Xu Cifu... who is very likely to be promoted to the chief minister, how could he spoil a concubine like this?

Even if the emperor favored him, he would not agree to betroth the princess to his concubine son. Xu Cifu's son was the same age as Xu Chaoyang, and he was also a Jinshi, but his reputation and official career were obviously not as good as Xu Chaoyang's. coming.

Xu Cifu, on the other hand, was completely upright on his son-in-law. He ignored the official position of his son-in-law, and he did not allow his son-in-law to use the power of the Xu family and his in-law relationship to climb up. The Xu family's political resources were all used on the bastard Xu Chaoyang.

The children born to Aunt Qin who really love her are different.

"lady."

"Ok?"

"You robbed Mrs. Xu's carriage, are you really all right?"

"Cherry, do you know what my greatest reliance is?" Zeng Rou said with a confident smile, "It's Yang Zhuangyuan and Xu Danniang who dare not force me to go down! In this position, the Zhuangyuan Mansion proves that Yan Shun's mistress can only be me!"

What Zeng Rou should really worry about is not stealing Danniang Xu's things, but Danniang Xu's framing.

Even if Zeng Rou didn't do anything at this time, Danniang Xu would not let her sit in the position of his first wife, so... it's the same if they can grab the same thing, they are already irreconcilable enemies, what else is Zeng Rou afraid of?
Yang Yi has a good status in the court, even if Zeng Rou's carriage rides on the official road, there are very few dignitaries who need to avoid it.

Seeing that there were too many carriages for officials and wives, Zeng Rou asked Cherry to open the curtain, and she sat at the window, rubbing her red and swollen eyes with a handkerchief, and weeping and mourning... Cherry stared blankly, "Who are you? "

"A fight with a tigress!"

Hey, hey, Zeng Rou wiped away his tears, hey, hey, wipe again, hey, there are no more tears!There is still a long way to go before leaving the capital. If you don't cry, how can you feel like being pushed out by the Xu family?How can you make passing wives curious if you don't cry?

Zeng Rou thought, where is the acupoint where the tears come from?

Zeng Rou seems to have saved all her tears in this life.

"Go to the medicine shop."

"Yes."

When they arrived at the medicine store, Zeng Rou cried and begged the shopkeeper of the medicine store to save Danniang Xu, "My sister...is so pitiful, she has a... bad face, I don't know medical skills, so I can only ask you for help Grab some good medicinal materials for acne and herpes."

"Madam, please speak slowly, what's wrong with your sister? Herpes?"

The shopkeeper of the medicine store has an embarrassing face, and the woman with herpes on her face...isn't she a prostitute suffering from venereal disease.

If an ordinary lady came to buy medicine, she would naturally not say something as earth-shattering as Zeng Rou. Herpes is mostly difficult to talk about, but Zeng Rou has never planned to take the high-end route in this life. What kind of thing, "Yeah, I look like herpes. My husband-in-law is not sure, and no one can tell what disease my sister has."

"Your sister...is your husband-in-law's concubine?"

"Nonsense, my sister and I are twin flowers, how can they be concubines? She is my husband's equal wife."

Zeng Rou patted the counter of the pharmacy and said loudly: "You don't know who my sister is? You don't know me, but you don't know my sister? Don't you know that my sister is Xu Cifu's beloved daughter? You don't know me Is it Yang Zhuangyuan's dirty wife?"

"My sister is so kind to me. I... I can't repay her. My sister is sick. Her natal family is in the Zhuangyuan Mansion. I can't help, I can't get in. My sister's biological mother, Aunt Qin, is in the mansion... so there is nothing wrong with her." What's the matter with me, that's why I went to Zhuangzi!"

Zeng Rou glanced at the gossip group whispering behind her, and said fiercely: "You, you all shut up, don't talk about my sister, I went to Zhuangzi by myself, it wasn't the Xu family who drove me away, and it wasn't my husband-in-law. Let me stay at the house, everything is just me... I am useless and can't help."

The shopkeeper of the herb shop knelt down on the ground, "Madam Zhuangyuan, this small shop can't cure Mrs. Xu, you'd better hire Gao Ming to buy medicine from another shop... I know that the medicine from Baohetang is the best."

"Then where is the Baohe Hall?"

Zeng Rou rubbed her eyes with a veil and asked, "No matter what, I can't just watch my sister's beautiful peony face be ruined by herpes."

"In front, not far ahead."

The two mothers who accompanied Zeng Rou were scared out of their wits by Zeng Rou. They wanted to drag Zeng Rou away, and they couldn't let her go to the Baohe Hall to be careless. But although Zeng Rou was weak, it was not easy to handle. As long as they approached Zeng Rou and wanted to pull Zeng Rou away, Zeng Rou would secretly tap the acupuncture points on their arms, making them unable to exert any strength.

They watched Zeng Rou tell the story of Mrs. Xu's herpes in the medicine store, how Xu Cifu loves Aunt Qin, how the son-in-law likes to spoil Xu Danniang, and how she got out of the Zhuangyuan Mansion. Although Zeng Rou told the truth, these words are You don't need to think about how big a storm will be caused in the capital, and how many people will talk about it.

The servant finally stopped Zeng Rou on the street, but Zeng Rou burst into tears, "Don't stop me, I just want to do my best for my sister, I really just want to help my sister. "

"Madam, please stop talking."

"Okay, I won't talk."

Zeng Rou saw that the effect was almost done, and cried and said: "I won't go to Zhuangzi to recuperate. I remember that the incense in Jialan Temple is the most prosperous. I will go to the temple to pray for my sister. Since I can pass my vitality and longevity to my husband... For my sister, I am also willing."

Zeng Rou climbed back into the carriage and went to Jialan Temple. She was sure that the news about Zhuangyuan Mansion and Xu's family would be the hottest gossip in Beijing in the next three months. Zeng Rou didn't have to live in the temple, she was really worried about Yang Yi He and Xu Cifu angrily killed her on Zhuangzi!
Jialan Temple is the first temple in the Sui Dynasty. It has a very high status in Zen Buddhism. It not only receives male pilgrims, but also female donors.

Living in the temple, Zeng Rou's safety will be guaranteed to a certain extent. Unless Yang Yi and Xu Cifu dare to tear their faces apart, they dare not kill Jialan Temple.

The gossip from the mouth of the No. [-] lady, combined with the news from the No. [-] mansion that the No. [-] lady once again moved God to save Master Yang and would rather save her life than save her life, the storm of gossip in public opinion intensified , Zhuangyuan Mansion became the place most often mentioned by the people in the capital.
