Poor family's favorite wife

Chapter 236 Concubine (Part [-])

Mrs. Li gently stroked Ming Xian: "You are still young and don't understand, but you will understand in the future. Please persuade your mother to be more open." Then she put her arms around Ming Xian, and the queen mother gave Duan Zhirui four A beautiful thing.The people in the capital also knew that everything in the palace was missed by the people.Mrs. Zhou couldn't help being a little angry, how could this queen mother bestow four beauties on Duan Zhirui.

Even if they were given to four beauties, how could Duan Zhirui take them.Zhou saw that the relationship between Duan Zhirui and He Songzhu was very good, and Duan Zhirui accepted it.He Songping heard that she entered an aunt's yard, and He Songping hurriedly persuaded Mrs. Zhou: "Mother, don't be impulsive now, we don't know if it's true or not?" Mrs. Zhou said with a straight face, "I don't know the truth yet. It's all like this now, how can I say it's not true.

You see what the people have said, how can I stay calm when it is rumored that this is the case.Your third sister has suffered so much, she's better now, no, I'm going to bring your third sister and Ming Xian back.I can support your third sister and Ming Xian. "Zhou's mother is strong now, and He Songping can't hold Zhou's back. She can only follow Zhou's impulsiveness to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. If she can't stop Zhou, then go directly.

Just when I arrived at the door, I met Li Yanran, who was dressed in a rainbow-colored silk hazy dress, gorgeous in color, light and soft.The wide sleeves are floating like colorful wings when they are unfolded, and the huge skirt is winding on the ground, and it is like floating clouds when it turns.There are a few small and exquisite jade lingers tied at the end of a belt on the waist, which make a clear and clear sound when dancing, which is really pleasant to hear. There are three pairs of jade hairpins on the hairpin.

A string of pearls hangs at the end. The jade is Lantian jasper, which is green and lustrous and moist. The pearl is the moon pearl of the South China Sea, which is white and bright, and the streamer is full of light, which further sets off the elegance, elegance and grace of people.Lightly moving, the pearl curtain swayed and moved, and the wind suddenly appeared, and when it danced, it swirled like a silver curtain.The long pearl chain swayed and lightly touched the cheeks, making them moist and smooth. Of course, Li Yanran did not come alone.

They came with the matchmaker invited by Li Rufeng, and the matchmaker saw Zhou Shi and He Songping.He couldn't help admiring that the general was really lucky. Zhou was wearing a lavender collar and narrow sleeves with purple patterns inlaid on it. His waist was tied into a beautiful bowknot with fan soft smoke, showing his slim figure. It also gives people an elegant and noble feeling.The cloud bun and the misty girl, the golden box is inserted obliquely and the lotus hairpin is upside down, and the silver tassels inlaid with diamonds are shining.

Qingdai crescent eyebrows, bright eyes and flowing eyes, jade fingers and plain arms, slender waist and snow skin, fragrant limbs, lotus foot socks.She wore a flat skirt of lavender, which was as long as the floor, without a single pattern, only a few half-opened oleanders embroidered with magenta silk thread on the cuffs, tied around the waist with milky white silk sash, and held in the hands of Luo Cui soft. yarn.Hanging a small sachet and wearing a chain of sapphires, it looks even more like a willow. The Zhou family is not bad in the capital these days.

Just as the matchmaker was about to speak, she was interrupted by Li Yanran. "Aunt Zhou, where are you and Sister Ping going?" Mrs. Zhou was also embarrassed to say that she was going to Pingyang Hou Mansion, and He Songping followed Mrs. Zhou.Anyway, Mrs. Zhou is going to the Marquis of Pingyang, He Songping is worried about Mrs. Zhou, and now Li Yanran is here.Thinking that Mrs. Zhou will also ease her mood, in fact, He Songping is not convinced. I heard that Mrs. Zhou persuaded He Songmei to take a concubine for her elder brother-in-law Cui Moran.

But when it comes to the third brother-in-law, it will not work.The Zhou family really has double standards. In fact, the Zhou family feels that Duan Zhirui dismissed He Songzhu for working so hard to guide Ming Xian.Now that Duan Zhirui married He Songzhu again, he didn't know how to cherish it.Then Mrs. Zhou brought He Songzhu and Mingxian back. Just these days, Mrs. Zhou and He Songping seemed lonely and bored at the mansion.

I believe that with He Songzhu and Mingxian, it should be much better.The matchmaker caught Li Yanran's gaze and hurriedly said, "Miss Zhou, can we come in?" Miss Zhou, the Zhou family hasn't heard this address for a long time.Hurry up to let Li Yanran and the matchmaker in, He Songping was also at a loss.The matchmaker came to explain her purpose, that is, Li Rufeng wanted to marry Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Zhou opened her mouth wide, no way!
He Songping was also dumbfounded. If Li Rufeng wanted to marry the Zhou family, wouldn't she and Li Yanran become biological sisters?He Songping had always hoped that there would be someone to accompany Mrs. Zhou, and when they were all married, Mrs. Zhou would be left alone. Now Li Rufeng sent someone to propose marriage.It's too ridiculous for Zhou to keep silent!Li Yanran hurried to Zhou Shi's side, pestering Zhou Shi: "Aunt Zhou, you just agreed.

You don't know how much I like you if you could be my mother.That's really great, Aunt Zhou, okay? "Looking at Mrs. Zhou longingly, Mrs. Zhou didn't know that Li Yanran liked her so much. Mrs. Zhou opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't say anything in the end. Mrs. Zhou hasn't digested it yet. Li Rufeng wants to marry her. Ms. Zhou You have to think about it carefully, the matchmaker will leave first.

Li Yanran pestered the Zhou family: "Aunt Zhou, my father is really good. Since my mother passed away in childbirth, my father has never had other concubines. Take care of me alone. Aunt Zhou, you are also Alone, I like you very much, you should consider my father and give him a chance, okay?" He Songping hurried over, "Sister Li, don't worry about this matter, let my mother think about it carefully. think."

Li Yanran pursed her lips, and Zhou said lightly, "Yanran, Aunt Zhou knows that you like Aunt Zhou very much, but you have to let Zhou think about it, okay?" Yan Ran nodded helplessly and went back.Li Rufeng was looking forward to the return of Li Yanran and the matchmaker at the mansion, but the matchmaker said that Zhou did not agree.Li Rufeng's expression was not very good, the matchmaker hurriedly said: "General, this is also a good thing.

At least you didn't refuse, General, you just patiently wait for the bride to agree to you!You can leave this matter to the servant, and the servant will definitely handle it properly for you, so that you can marry the bride as soon as possible. Li Rufeng gave the matchmaker a silver reward, and the matchmaker happily left General Li's mansion. He Songping stared at Mrs. Zhou, "Mother, in fact, our sisters also discussed it.There must be suitable candidates, and we will not object.

We have known each other for a long time, General Li, and he is kind, mother, why don't you think about it? "As soon as He Songping finished speaking, Mrs. Zhou put on a straight face: "Don't talk about such things in the future. He Songping asked in surprise: "Mother, what's going on with you, why didn't you mention it?"The eldest sister and the third sister know about it, and they will definitely let you agree.Mother, don't be stubborn and think too much. "

Although Zhou Shi said that he separated with He Shouchun, he never thought of being with other men.Still married, the Zhou family took in a few daughters and that's it for the rest of their lives.Zhou was a little shocked that a matchmaker would come to propose marriage to her now.But after the shock, Zhou would not agree.Mrs. Zhou was going to Pingyang Hou's Mansion to help He Songzhu, but now Mrs. Zhou was in no mood to go and went back to the house directly.

He Songping who stayed behind stomped, no, this time it was a great opportunity.He Songping wants to find He Songzhu quickly and tell He Songzhu.The two discussed together and came up with an idea. He Songzhu met He Songping in the lobby, and He Songping hurried to He Songzhu: "Sister, I have something important to tell you." Immediately brought He Songping to the yard, smiling She said, "Fifth Sister, what's the matter?"

He Songping took He Songzhu's hand, "Third Sister, do you know? A matchmaker came to the door today." "It's for you to propose marriage, of course, you have to think about it yourself. If it's really suitable, you Let mother agree." He Songzhu couldn't help stroking He Songping's hair softly, and He Songping suddenly laughed.The smiling branches trembled wildly, and He Songzhu's brows were furrowed.

"Fifth Sister, what are you laughing at? Don't you think what Third Sister said is wrong?" Just as He Songzhu finished speaking, He Songping restrained her smile. "Third Sister, that's not what I meant. You have to know, it's not about proposing marriage for me. It's proposing marriage for mother." He Songzhu was a little stunned when he proposed marriage for Zhou's.Some people actually came to propose marriage to the Zhou family. What He Songzhu cared about was who was optimistic about the Zhou family and wanted to marry the Zhou family.

"Who?" He Songzhu asked out the doubts in his heart, "Third sister, you may not guess, you also know someone?" He Songping didn't follow He Songzhu's circle around the people He Songzhu knew, and held He Songzhu's hand: "Third Sister, I'll tell you, Sister Li brought a matchmaker with her, so you'll know!" That couldn't be Li Rufeng! "Could it be General Li?" "Third sister, you really guessed right, it is General Li.

Third sister, what do you think, General Li came to propose marriage.Do you think my mother should agree? "In fact, He Songzhu's idea is very simple now, as long as someone is willing to accompany Mrs. Zhou. It depends on why Li Rufeng wants to marry Mrs. Zhou, whether he simply wants to live with Mrs. Zhou, or has other purposes. He Songzhu will not follow Like He Songping, she simply felt that Zhou should agree.

Seeing He Songzhu hesitated, He Songping asked curiously, "Third sister, don't you think the general is very good, don't you agree?" He Songping stared at He Songzhu expectantly, but don't do it.He Songping is still counting on becoming sisters with Li Yanran, "Fifth sister, don't be so optimistic about this matter. You don't know the twists and turns. You listen to the third sister. Now go back and don't persuade your mother to marry the general." .

Don't object, just wait for me to think about it first, and I will give you the answer.Don't move around easily, otherwise, it will cause trouble, remember? "He Songzhu worriedly told He Songping in front of him, and He Songping nodded accordingly: "Third sister, don't worry, I know, I won't mess around.Then I'll go back first, you remember to check it out earlier, I'll wait for your good news. "

After talking, He Songping should go too, now she and Duan Zhirui are in the cold war period.What should He Songzhu do? Visit the general in person, definitely not.Only in this way can we know what the general thinks, but going by himself now is not very good.In the end, He Songzhu went to find his elder brother-in-law Cui Moran after much deliberation and went to Dingguohou's Mansion.Duan Zhirui was worried when he heard that He Songzhu was out of the house, so he sent someone to protect He Songzhu.

As for He Songmei's current relationship with Cui Moran is not good, although Cui Moran has taken a concubine.But if he didn't go to Aunt Bai and Aunt Lian's yard, he was much better than Duan Zhirui.He Songzhu couldn't help sighing after hearing what He Songmei said: "Sister, why do you wrong yourself like this! You can tell your brother-in-law why you want to bury it alone in your heart, sister, you are too stupid."

He Songmei shook her head: "Sister, I'm really fine, I don't feel bitter. By the way, sister, why are you here? Is there something else going on?" He Songmei really guessed right, and He Songzhu gently pulled Touching He Songmei's jade hand: "Eldest sister, you should think about it carefully, and tell the eldest brother-in-law. I believe that the eldest brother-in-law likes you, and he will not understand. Think about it, okay?"

He Songmei smiled lightly: "You! I just can't stop worrying about it. Well, I promise you." He Songzhu breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister, do you know? A matchmaker came to propose marriage to my mother today." For Mrs. Zhou, He Songmei opened her mouth wide, but remained silent for a long time.He Songzhu also knew that He Songmei was shocked, and he was too.But who would want to marry the Zhou family, the Zhou family is also in the house.

It's just that I go to Wenxiang Pavilion occasionally. Could it be that someone has taken a fancy to Mrs. Zhou and wants to really marry Mrs. Zhou back.Still had other plans, He Songmei quickly stared at He Songzhu: "Third Sister, who is it?" "Sister, we also know this person, the General, do you remember?" General Li Rufeng, how could He Songmei forget .He Songmei nodded: "Of course I still remember that the general is going to marry his mother?"

"Well! Sister, do you think Mother should agree?" He Songzhu asked He Songmei, He Songmei pondered, and finally said conservatively: "We can't make the decision for Mother, it depends on Mother's own opinion. But if Mother really wants to If you marry the general, we will support it. But if the general has other ideas, I think that my mother may not live more comfortably than now, and sometimes life alone is more comfortable than two.

Third sister, what do you think? "Since she got married, He Songmei's thoughts are not so naive. Before, they even said with He Songping that they want Mrs. Zhou to marry someone. Find a companion to live a good life, but the general is a big family after all, Mrs. Zhou Once married, and gave birth to their five daughters, and more importantly, does the general have any other ulterior motives.

He Songmei and He Songzhu don't know yet, maybe Zhou's life alone is fine.Although they are not by Mrs. Zhou's side, they don't have to worry about Mrs. Zhou's other aspects. There are maids who will take good care of Mrs. Zhou. "Eldest sister, I understand what you said, then we will wait and see what happens, and use the same to respond to all changes." He Songzhu smiled slightly, "Sister, I will follow you to think of it together, then we will wait quietly. on."

The two sisters were talking about other things, but He Songmei couldn't hold on any longer, feeling sleepy.Before going to sleep, He Songzhu gave He Songmei ten bottles of clear spring water before leaving, "Elder Sister, I specially asked Master to come here, you continue to drink, don't forget." He Songzhu's concern, He Songmei will always remember superior. "Don't worry, I'll go back and see my mother after my fetal position is stabilized.

At that time, our sisters will discuss it again, so you should go back quickly. "Reluctantly leaving He Songmei's room, I saw Cui Moran when I came out of the yard. He Songzhu greeted Cui Moran, thinking about what He Songmei told her about taking concubines. He Songmei's personality will not tell Cui Moran, let's talk about it myself!" Brother-in-law, there are actually some things that I shouldn't have said, but if I don't say them, maybe you will never know from my eldest sister's mouth in your whole life. "

Cui Moran was taken aback by He Songzhu's words, and then looked at He Songzhu. "What the concubine wants to say, just say it." "Do you think my eldest sister is willing to give you a concubine? Have you never thought about the reason?" "You mean that your eldest sister is unwilling to give me a concubine, but she has to Take a concubine for me?" Cui Moran grasped the meaning in He Songzhu's words, "Brother-in-law, I knew you were smart, so I guessed it right away."

He Songzhu smiled calmly, Cui Moran did know.It must be the Ming family, who else in the family would coerce He Songmei into taking a concubine for him, except for the Ming family, there is no other person. "Thank you, Princess Concubine." "You're welcome, eldest brother-in-law, since you know, you should know what to do. My eldest sister is also very weak now, and can't stand stimulation." He Songzhu reminded Cui Moran by the way.

Cui Moran nodded seriously: "Please rest assured, Princess Concubine, I know what to do. If it is useful in the future, please ask Princess Concubine to speak." Now that Cui Moran has spoken, it is difficult for He Songzhu to refuse. "Actually, brother-in-law, there is one thing I want to ask brother-in-law for help." Although Cui Moran was curious that He Songzhu would not let Duan Zhirui help, but asked him to help, he hurriedly said: "Please tell me, Shizifei."

"Today, General Li Rufeng sent a matchmaker to the mansion to propose marriage to his mother. Eldest sister also knew about it. I wanted to ask my elder brother-in-law to find out why the general married his mother. I believe it should not be difficult for elder brother-in-law." Obviously, Cui Moran Dazed, Li Rufeng wants to marry He Songmei's mother Zhou. "Don't worry, Concubine Shizi, I will investigate as soon as possible." "Brother-in-law, I will take my leave." Soon He Songzhu left Dingguohou's Mansion.

Cui Moran still checked Li Rufeng's affairs first, so that he could talk to He Songmei.In the evening, Duan Zhirui went directly to Cui Moran's study in Dingguohou's mansion, and Cui Moran had no doubts.Today, He Songzhu asked him to investigate by himself, which means that there is some conflict between Duan Zhirui and He Songzhu.Or some small friction, "Why is Duan Shizi coming to my study when you have time, he is really a rare visitor, a rare visitor!"

Cui Moran laughed at Duan Zhirui who was in front of him, and Duan Zhirui said coldly: "You don't seem to be much better, I heard that Cui Shizi recently adopted two new aunts, and the country is beautiful." "That can't compare to Duan Shizi's good luck, The empress dowager personally bestowed four concubines who are as beautiful as flowers." Cui Moran would not let go of the opportunity to tease Duan Zhirui, Duan Zhirui was very angry, otherwise he would test He Songzhu.

I have rejected the queen mother a long time ago, and now it is really difficult for the tiger to get off.It's a pity that He Songzhu ignored him, Duan Zhirui said with a straight face: "What did Zhu'er tell you today?" The guards sent didn't dare to get too close to He Songzhu, and said that He Songzhu had talked with He Songmei for an hour in the room .Before leaving, he followed Cui Moran in He Songmei's yard and said a lot of things, but Duan Zhirui naturally wouldn't ask about He Songmei.
