from widow to dame

Chapter 25

After hearing the words of the third aunt, Lin's heart moved, and she felt that what the other party said was very true.

"You also know that Hui Niang has always had her own ideas, and she has to agree to this matter." After a long while, Mrs. Lin sighed.

"Since ancient times, major marriages have been ordered by parents and the matchmaker's words. What's her plan for a daughter?" The third aunt advised nonchalantly: "While she is still young, find an honest and reliable man, so that she can take care of her." Have a good time at home."

"Hey! Huiniang was just divorced by the Wang family, and now she is in a hurry to find someone else. It may not be good to spread the word about it. Let's talk about it in a year or so!" After all, Lin did not dare to make decisions privately, and only took words. After prevaricating, Third Aunt thought it was the same thing, so she dropped the topic and talked about other things.While the two were secretly thinking about Su Huiniang's marriage, coincidentally, another family was also discussing similar matters.

"What, let your sister be a concubine?" Pi's eyes widened, and he looked at his second son in astonishment, shaking his head like a rattle: "No, no, absolutely no."

"Mother, what do you know!" Wang Erlang shook the folding fan in his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a smug smile: "My sister is not going to be an ordinary concubine, but the concubine of our county magistrate!"

Hearing the word county magistrate, Pi's face twitched suddenly, and hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she felt sorry for her daughter, and she said to herself: "Erlang, mother has heard of it, and the county magistrate is already fifty-two years old this year. Yes, and she has already married Aunt Bafang."

"So what if a powerful man marries more concubines?" Wang Erlang retorted, "The county magistrate of Na'an is powerful and powerful, and he is one of the most powerful people in Longquan Town and the twelve subordinate villages. Mother, if my younger sister marries him, she will have inexhaustible gold and silver, and inexhaustible silk and satin. Didn't she always want to be a young mistress? This is the opportunity!"

Pi's heart was really moved when he heard this, and Wang Erlang said immediately after seeing it: "Mother, the magistrate of An'an has promised me that if our two families become in-laws, I will go to the yamen to be the boss, son." It's all about the future."

"Really?" Mrs. Pi stared at the boss when she heard this, Wang Erlang nodded with pride, Mrs. Pi blushed with excitement when she was about to say something. A figure slammed down the curtain and came in, but it was Wang Wuniang.

"Mother, my daughter is willing to marry the county magistrate as a concubine!" She had been listening outside the door for a long time, and now she only felt that this was her chance to climb a branch and become a phoenix, how could she be willing to miss it.Even the parties themselves said so, and Mrs. Pi was happy to push the boat along. Wang Erlang was even more happy to see him. He smiled and took out a fine jade bracelet from his cuff, and put it on Wang Wuniang's wrist: " Fifth sister, this is a dowry gift from the county magistrate, let's see if you like it or not?"

How could Wang Wuniang not like it? She looked at the bracelet with bright eyes and almost screamed in surprise.

"Oh my mother, this bracelet is worth 50 taels of silver anyway!" Mrs. Pi salivated greedily.

"What is this!" Wang Erlang said with a big laugh, "Mother, as long as my younger sister gets married and wins the favor of the county magistrate, how much of this kind of thing will our family want in the future, and how much will we have? Isn't it enough?"

"Prosperous, developed, daughter, our family will depend on you in the future!" At this moment, Mrs. Pi was completely immersed in the joy of her family's prosperity, and her whole body trembled with excitement.

"Mother, don't worry!" Wang Wuniang rubbed the bracelet on her wrist, and she smiled triumphantly: "With my daughter's talent and appearance, I will definitely win the favor of the county magistrate. You, just wait for the blessing!"

Wang Wuniang wanted to be a concubine for the county magistrate. For two days, the whole Wang family knew about it, and Su Huiniang was a little surprised when it was heard.For nothing else, just for the county magistrate, because the county government office is located in Longquan Town, so there are many rumors about this master, the most famous of which is that the master has married a total of Aunt Bafang, of course this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the concubine Bafang gave birth to seventeen daughters in total for the master, leaving him stunned that he didn't have a single son.Everyone said that he committed too many crimes, so God punished him for not having a son. This has become the laughing stock of the common people, even Su Huiniang has heard of it.

"A good girl, how could she be spoiled by such a person!" Mrs. Lin seemed extremely aggrieved by this, and sighed in melancholy.
"It's nothing more than wanting to get rich." Su Huiniang said with a light smile, "Mother, you don't have to complain about Wang Wuniang, maybe he is happy now!" up.While the mother and daughter were talking here, there was a sudden knock on the door outside. Su Huiniang thought it was Su Wen and the others coming back from school, and just about to go to the field, who would have thought that she would see Pi and Tian twisting their heads? The shaft of the hip bone was thrown in.

Su Huiniang began to regret that she didn't have the habit of locking the door during the day!
"Yo! Isn't this Hui Niang, but I haven't seen you for a long time!" Tian said with a sharp voice, pretending to say: "Tsk tsk tsk, you look good, it seems that you are doing well."

"It's pretty good." Su Huiniang didn't even get off the ground. She crossed her legs, straightened her body, looked at the two with interest, and asked bluntly, "What's the matter?"

"You don't know yet!" Tian said with a smile on her face: "Our fifth younger sister is going to marry the county magistrate as an aunt, and enjoy the wealth and honor!"

Su Huiniang raised her eyebrows: "Oh? That's really congratulations."

Pi's face was also full of complacency, she glanced at Su Huiniang and Lin, her eyes were full of arrogance: "Well, I also told you about Wu Niang, and now I do have an errand for you to help, This is due to the fact that you used to be a member of our Wang family, and no one else can ask for it!..." Mrs. Pi scratched her neck complacently for a while, and then said: "Didn't you give it to the young lady of the Chen family some time ago? Have you made a wedding dress? Now that Wu Niang is married, well, you can make one like that, and it will be a congratulatory gift for Wu Niang of our family."

At this moment, even Su Huiniang, who is as calm as Su Huiniang, couldn't help scolding: "How shameless!"

Let's not talk about the thought and time Su Huiniang spent on the wedding dress of the Chen family.Just the materials of the wedding dress, the gold thread and silver thread embroidered on it, and the pearl and jade pieces of various colors, the total cost is four to five hundred taels of silver. The opportunity is about to be seized. Ah's face really makes people want to slap her.

"Didn't your fifth wife go to be a concubine for the county magistrate?" Su Huiniang turned cold, and said indifferently: "In this world, even a concubine can wear a wedding dress?" Concubine, it's nothing more than setting up two tables of banquets at home, after all, it's a matter of passing the house in a small sedan chair, and you still expect to wear eight large sedan chairs, Fengguanxiapei?Daydreaming!

After hearing this, Mrs. Pi's face darkened instantly, and he saw a fierce look in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "What did you say!!"

"Mom, she's saying that our Fifth Niang has become a concubine for someone else, and she looks down on her!" Tian Shi, who was at the side, was afraid of chaos, and fanned the flames.

Ever since Su Huiniang was divorced from the Wang family, Mrs. Pi always had the feeling of being "trapped" when she thought of it, especially as the days of the Su family got better and better, her heart became more and more "hateful". Some time ago, I humiliated Su Huiniang in front of Su Huiniang because of the Chen family's affairs. At this moment, it can be said that new and old hatreds came together. I saw her eyes widen, pointing at Su Huiniang and yelling: "You naughty little bitch, Our Wu Niang married the county magistrate to enjoy the blessings. It's not like you. It's just a broken shoe that our Wang family doesn't want. Kefu's funeral star, our Shiro left early because of your restraint! "

After hearing this, Mrs. Lin's eyes turned red with anger, and she held her chest and gasped for breath: "You, you, talking nonsense..."

"Mother, you can't get angry with this kind of shrew!" Su Huiniang pressed Mrs. Lin on the kang, looked at Mrs. Pi with cold eyes and said, "Have you finished talking? Get out immediately after you finish speaking, our Su family doesn't welcome you." You kind of person." She used the word roll, which shows that she was also very angry at this time.

Where is Mrs. Pi willing to go? The angrier Su Huiniang and the others are, the more proud she is. Seeing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law standing there with their waists pinched and full of obscenities, they thought Su Huiniang was too ignorant to flatter her, so she dared to It's a shame to refuse my request.

"Where is the barking dog coming from?" At this moment, a cold voice sounded, and just as Pishi turned her head, a kitchen knife ran down Pishi's face, cutting off a strand of hair from her temples. Then, with a bang, it got stuck deeply on the pillar behind him.Pi's legs went limp on the spot, and he touched his face in a daze, his hands were covered with blood.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Su Huiniang looked up, and it was Wang Qilang who came, and saw that the child was no longer as cute as usual, and he was holding a kitchen knife in one hand, looking at Pi's eyes with an indescribable murderous intent .

"You don't care about me!!" The Tian family lost the prestige just now, and his face full of flesh trembled twice, with a look of extreme fear.Unlike the Wang Qilang that Su Huiniang had come into contact with, to these two, that Wang Qilang was a hungry wolf in human skin, who really dared to kill.
