The Blessing of Traveling to Pregnancy

Chapter 40

Lan Xin showed a look of embarrassment, and Zhang's mother also knew that it was indeed difficult for a young girl who was not married to say such a thing.He couldn't help but took a few steps forward, dragged Qingmei into the house, and then said, "The maid who married from her natal family is naturally used as a dowry." "It's the companion room for the new uncle!"

"puff--"

Cool Breeze calmly handed over the handkerchief.

After she was able to digest this fact, Mother Zhang continued, "Actually, what a newlywed is most afraid of is not the matter between mother-in-law and sister-in-law. If there is any movement, the mother-in-law will stuff people into the son's room. After all, the dowry maids brought from her mother's house are trustworthy, and the deed of sale is in her own hands. It is up to you to decide whether to live or die! To put it bluntly, beating a dog depends on the owner."

The reason for speaking so bluntly is that Qingmei is not young anymore, so after waiting for two years, she will naturally want to marry.Instead of being slaughtered by others after marriage, it is better to prepare in advance and cultivate the bearing of being the head of the house.How should I put it, Mama Zhang herself is a person who has experienced palace fighting. After decades of court life, it is not a problem to teach the young lady how to deal with a house fight.If you want to stand firmly in the backyard, you must be cruel-hearted, kind-faced, and considerate on the surface. If there is a mistake, it must be caused by the restlessness of the concubines in the side room!No one can find fault with you!
"Then, my second sister, I really... want to take the initiative to send it to my husband's house..." The sentence turned a few turns, and he swallowed the 'mistress' back and replaced it with, "Tongfang maid?"

"Oh my miss, why don't you understand?" Mama Zhang waved her handkerchief, looking at her with indignation, "Think about it, when the second miss is pregnant, it will be inconvenient for you. My uncle will naturally He won't take a concubine anytime soon, but he can hold on to it for a month. I'm pregnant in October. Is it possible for my uncle to follow her for ten months? Instead of letting my uncle find it by himself, it's better to take the initiative to send a maid who is at his disposal , on the one hand, it seems magnanimous, and on the other hand, the initiative is in my own hands, so why not do it?!"

"Fuck! Damn it!"

Qingmei cursed in her heart—all men are cold-blooded reptiles who think from the lower body!

but……

If this matter is your turn.

Qingmei pondered for a rare moment.Blind marriage, dumb marriage, she has no idea who Xu will let her marry, but the left and right will not be people with lower family status.Zhang's mother has always said that marrying according to her own status is to be the wife of the family.But... Such a person, would she fall in love with him?

Probably not, she would not have any feelings for him at all.That being the case, what did it matter to a stranger if he wanted to have fun? !These days, it's not popular to spoil concubines and destroy wives. The life style of officials is related to career assessment. He respects her enough, and that's enough.He won't throw face at you, and he can be polite. As a stranger, this is very rare. You can't ask a stranger to be devoted to you.

Zhang's mother was very relieved when she saw that Qingmei was not surprised, but instead acted like she was in deep thought—the young lady probably listened to what she said just now.Although these are a bit early and cruel for a young lady who has not yet left the court, after all, the little girl will have some longing for the lover she has never met, but as the mistress who presides over the middle class, this is a necessary course.Little did she know, Qingmei had already put her lover whom she had never met into the column of 'a reptile from a star that can be ignored'.

If you win, it proves that you are better than animals; if you lose, then you are worse than animals!Humans don't care about low-level animals.

"Okay, miss, you don't have to worry too much." Seeing that Qingmei still didn't speak, Zhang's mother had to reflect on herself a little.After following Qingmei for a long time, others may not know it, but she deeply felt the strong psychological construction of this aunt!But no matter how strong a little girl is, she will always be a little embarrassed and at a loss when encountering this matter. She was careless and said everything casually.

Qingmei raised her head, and Lan Xin happened to come in, she couldn't help pointing at her and said, "If I get married, will Lan Xin marry with me?"

"This..." Zhang's mother's thoughts turned quickly, and she slowly turned her head to look at Lan Xin.No matter how calm Lan Xin is, at this moment her heart can't stop beating drums.

——Miss will definitely marry that wealthy family in the future. If she can marry her as a dowry, depending on her looks and temperament, she won't be as strong as this stupid fourth lady!By the time……

Lan Xin pinched the handkerchief nervously, she didn't want to be a maid for the rest of her life!It would be fine if she was born with a normal appearance, but she is obviously better than the person in front of her in everything, so why should she have to serve others for the rest of her life!

"Who to take and who not to take, of course I have to listen to what you want, miss." Zhang's mother chose a safe answer.

Qingmei nodded, said oh, tilted her head to think for a while, and muttered, "I don't know her well, so I don't want to bring her."

=mouth=
Miss, you said it! ! !

The three people in the house were suddenly confused by the wind.

Qingmei looked at Lan Xin and asked, "Lan Xin, how old are you this year?"

Lan Xin suppressed the displeasure in her heart, and said quietly, "My maidservant is seventeen."

"Seventeen? Well, according to Zhang's mother, you have also reached the age to marry." Qingmei smiled lightly, "Qiu Ju married very well back then, and you will too."

She will too? !

Lan Xin sneered from the bottom of her heart, Miss, do you really think I'm a fool? !Who doesn't know that the three people who went to Biezhuang with you back then, Mama Liu and Qiuyue, were sold by Steward Cui for committing theft (the reason Cui Steward made up in the letter to Lin Fu), and the remaining one, Qiuju , You casually found a country man to marry!No matter what Lan Xin said, she was also a maid in a big mansion in the capital. If she was placed in a small place, her whole body would be three points stronger than those young ladies from small families.Heh, miss, are you so afraid that if I become your dowry maid, I will steal your limelight, so you can't wait to send me out? !
Lan Xin hated her so much that her intestines were about to knot, but she still looked at Qingmei with a smile on her face, squatted down, and said, "Thank you so much, miss. The arrangement of the lady will naturally be very good."

Qingmei nodded as a matter of course.

When Qiuju got married that year, she asked Steward Cui to return all the deeds of sale to her, and also prepared a box of dowry, which was enough for the small family's expenses for three to five years.The married person is a local scholar, and the family population is simple, only father-in-law, mother-in-law and an uncle.Although it is a small family, but after marrying, his own yard is his own.In addition to the fields, the ancestors of Xiucai still have two doors in the town, and the annual rent alone is enough for a family of four to live comfortably.If the scholar is more competitive and admitted to Jinshi, then Qiu Ju will suddenly become an official wife.However, Steward Cui felt that there was no need to report these matters to the Lin family, so as not to cause some trouble for nothing, so he just casually added a sentence in his usual letter: "...The servant has found a marriage for the maid Qiuju in the local area, and I hereby inform you Mrs. Ben..."

Qingmei glanced at Lan Xin again, if everything went well, she would go to Mrs. Xu to talk about it.Her memory is very good, as long as she meets people in the house, she will not forget them. This is also due to the training of the special profession of mercenary in her previous life.He vaguely remembered that Dongqiao once gossiped about Lin Butler's housework. He heard that Lin Butler's youngest brother was doing business outside, and others would call him Lin Wuye when they saw him.This Mr. Lin Wu is only twenty years old and has no wife or concubine at home. Well, he is a good match!
Qingmei had made up her mind, but she didn't reveal it to anyone. After all, she still had doubts about Lan Xin.If after the trial this time, she finds that Lan Xin is still as well-behaved as she has behaved in front of her, then she will discuss with Zhang's mother first to see how to make this marriage loose on Xu's side.

As long as Zhang's mother takes care of this kind of short family matter, she won't be able to handle it! ╮(╯▽╰)╭It feels so good to have a universal secretary.

Going back to the room again, I took a look at the painting that was not finished, Liang Feng walked aside and asked, "Miss, do you want to continue painting?"

Qingmei stretched out her hand to touch the dried ink, "Hmm... what am I thinking of drawing?"

Dongqiao, who had been thinking about what to eat tonight, came here suddenly, "Willow trees, streams...well, this artistic conception has come out, anyway, it is just a water town in the south of the Yangtze River." Together, I have been tutoring in small VIP classes with Mrs. Huang for seven years. Although I spend most of my time wandering, I can't stand the day-to-day edification.

Qingmei shook her head, "'The weather is new on March [-]rd, and there are many beautiful people by the water in Chang'an'."

Dongqiao suddenly understood, "Miss, do you want to draw a picture of beauties playing in the water?"

There is a word in modern times called the temptation of wet body...

Cough, it is impossible for her to paint on such a large scale, otherwise she will be harmonized by Lin Fu before she finishes painting.However, it's a special feeling for a beautiful woman to play in the water. She has made up her mind from the beginning, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

But now is not the time.It is necessary to wait until they are not in the yard, preferably Xu is not there, and Lin Shangshu alone is at home, and Lan Xin can have a fair reason to go to Lin Shangshu, this game of chess can be played.Qingmei sighed, the right time, place and people, nothing less.Shaking his head, he walked away.Dongqiao and Liangfeng looked at each other, really couldn't figure out what Qingmei meant, so they had no choice but to put the painting away again.

When it was time for dinner, I accidentally received a message from Mrs. Xu that today the master is going home for dinner, and the wife asked everyone to go to the main house for dinner.

It's time for dinner, the second sister Qingyou, the third sister Qingran, the younger sister Qingfang, the younger brother Yuanye, Aunt Zhang, and Aunt He are all there.Eldest brother Lin Yuanhui was kicked by Lin Shangshu to a certain border town to pass his qualifications, so he did not attend this family gathering for the time being.

Lin Shangshu checked his son's homework first, and saw that although Lin Yuanye was naughty, the homework was completed according to the quality and quantity.Qingmei could even see that Lin Xiaodi let out a long sigh of relief at the same time Lin Shangshu nodded.Tsk tsk, checking homework before meals, this trick is really cheap!
By asking about what the four daughters have done recently.Except for Qingyou, a girl-to-be who needs to learn some other things, the other three answered very uniformly, anyway, they just read books, become a female celebrity, and practice calligraphy.Lin Shangshu nodded in satisfaction, and glanced at Mrs. Xu, ready to serve dinner.

No food.

Aunts are not eligible to sit, they have to set rules.The masters sat and they stood, the masters ate and they watched, and asked for cloth and handkerchiefs.So Qingmei didn't understand, with this kind of treatment, why so many people were rushing to become aunts.

Hey... This is not a generation gap, it is completely a gap separated by countless times!
After a warm (are you sure?) dinner, everyone drank tea and rinsed their mouths.Lin Shangshu gave some family training to the children, and then asked everyone to go back to their rooms, leaving Qingmei alone.

Seeing Qingmei sitting there with her head down, looking like a good girl, Lin Shangshu rarely let go of his strict father's posture, and said with a smile, "I heard from your mother, are you learning how to draw Danqing recently?"

"Yeah." Qingmei raised her eyes slightly, "I just wanted to draw, and my mother even sent lake brushes and rice paper to my daughter, I'm so embarrassed."

"I'm sorry, all the daughters of our Lin family are well-known talented women!" Lin Shangshu was very proud of this.Suddenly realizing that his youngest daughter just came back from Biezhuang, he quickly said, "It's the same for you, as long as you practice more, you will naturally be able to draw well."

Qingmei opened her mouth, hesitated a little, as if the words were on the verge of her mouth, and she swallowed them again.

"Why, is there something wrong?" Lin Shangshu asked, "If there is something missing, just ask your mother to find it for you."

Qingmei thought for a while, and said, "Mom has prepared all the tools, but there are a few paints that are a bit lacking."

Lin Shangshu chuckled, "Why is this so difficult?" Turning his head away, he said to Xu, "I bought some new paint last month and put it in the study."

Mrs. Xu covered her face with a kind smile, "Yeah. I'm up to you, girl, if you don't have anything to do, just like the two paintings." Then she said to Qingmei, "Your father is a master of Danqing, if you don't understand, just ask him."

Qingmei looked at him timidly and adoringly, and asked cautiously, "Is it okay?"

Seeing the pitiful appearance of his daughter whom he hadn't seen for seven years, Lin Shangshu's love for her daughter swelled unprecedentedly. He waved his big hand and said boldly, "Of course it is possible. If your paint is short, just send someone to my place Just take it."

Qingmei showed her face, stood up, and said a blessing in a playful manner, "Thank you, Daddy! My daughter heard that Daddy's Danqing technique is amazing, but it's a pity that she has never seen it."

Being adored by their children is what every parent is most proud of, and Lin Shangshu is no exception.When Qingmei first returned home, he was still wondering whether this daughter would not be close to him after staying outside for such a long time, but now that he sees...Look, the tall image of me, Mr. Lin, is not due to time. The distance from the space has receded somewhat!
"You're back home now, and it's not easy to see Daddy's paintings. When you're free someday, Daddy will come and teach you in person!" Lin Shangshu was in a good mood, and Mrs. Xu saw that the two of them were chatting enthusiastically, but they didn't care about business at all. Did not say, can not help a little anxious.Glancing aside, he immediately said, "This tea is a bit cold, change it."

Lin Shangshu was interrupted by her, and saw his wife wink at him, and immediately came to his senses—almost followed the little girl and digressed a thousand miles away.

After coughing, Qingmei returned to her seat and sat down.

The servant girl changed the tea, Lin Shangshu moistened her throat, and finally said the theme of tonight, "Mei Er, the September hunt in Anfu, Daddy plans to take you with me."
