pungent peasant girl

Chapter 74 is a concubine
"Ask for something?"

Meng Qianyan was stunned for a moment when he heard these four words. In the past, she would never believe that He Wanwan would come to beg her for something.But today...

She glanced at Luo Ziyan, "Ziyan."

"It's too late, let's take a look." Luo Ziyan's eyes darkened, and the sound of hurried footsteps came in from outside.

It was He Wanwan who was ushered in by a young woman. The woman was beautiful, and Meng Qianyan knew that this was the eldest aunt's sister, the second wife of the Ming family, He Meilan.

He Wanwan was pulled in by Mrs. Ming Er.

Mrs. Ming's second lady looked anxious, but He Wanwan didn't take it seriously. Although there were still tears on her face, there was no sign of sadness deep in her eyes.

"Second Young Madam." Seeing Meng Qianyan, He Meilan called out anxiously.

Meng Qianyan got up, nodded to He Meilan, and said politely: "Aunt Meilan."

"Hey, hey, good boy, are you eating?"

"Yes, do you want Aunt Meilan to come with you?"

"No, no, no." He Meilan waved her hands again and again, "Second Young Madam, let me tell you straight, I didn't come here to chat with you, it's really because of this child Wanwan, I want to beg you to show favor Give me."

"Oh? What happened to Cousin Wanwan?"

"Oh, you said it should be right. Yesterday Wanwan and Master Ziqu had dinner together, but Master Ziqu drank too much, so he gave Wanwan to him. Oh, it's too late to say anything now, the uncooked rice is already cooked After all, this Wanwan must marry Ziqu."

The ancient people were feudal and conservative, and a woman's Joan of Arc was the most important thing, so it was indeed a matter of common sense for He Wanwan to marry Luo Ziqu.

Then why is He Meilan so anxious?

Meng Qianyan frowned slightly, "Could it be that Third Aunt didn't agree?"

"Well, I agree, but she said that your cousin's family background is not worthy of the Luo family. She said that it is fine to marry in, but she must be a concubine."

concubine……

It's not surprising for Meng Qianyan to hear this. Zhu's temperament can definitely do this kind of thing, so what does He Meilan mean by bringing He Wanwan to her?

"Second Young Madam, look, Wanwan is also your own cousin, I want you to go and talk to the third room, at least let Wanwan be your wife, we don't care about the betrothal gift or anything like that."

It turned out to be like this, and Meng Qianyan was in a difficult situation, "Aunt Meilan, with all due respect, I'm afraid I can't handle this matter, and the family affairs of the third bedroom are the affairs of the third bedroom, and I want to take care of it at my generation, but It's overstepped."

"But besides you, we really don't know who else to look for. You are the daughter-in-law who is married to the first wife." He Meilan was really anxious, looking at He Wanwan with distressed eyes.

The elders always think of the juniors in this way, Meng Qianyan's mind relaxed a little, she looked at Luo Ziyan, "Ziyan, what do you think?"

"Auntie, don't beg her, she won't care, she just wants me to be happy if I don't live well. At worst, I'll be a concubine, what about a concubine?" Before Luo Ziyan could speak, He Wanwan had already arrogantly refused. .

"You..." He Meilan was furious: "Wanwan, you are too simple, do you know the difference between wives and concubines? You think my life is easier, don't you?"

"It's up to you whether you're going to be happy or not. I don't believe that if I become a concubine, I won't be able to live a good life." He Wanwan grabbed He Meilan's wrist, "Auntie, let's go, don't waste any more time here."

He Meilan was dragged away by He Wanwan, it was like a farce.

Meng Qianyan shrugged her shoulders. In fact, she didn't quite understand why He Wanwan always hated her so much?They didn't seem to have any big festivals before.

"Qianyan, don't think too much, hurry up and eat something, the porridge is almost cold."

"Oh, here I come."

Seeing what Luo Ziyan meant, she didn't want her to worry about the third bedroom. After thinking about it, she felt it was right, so she focused all her attention on herself.

Every morning when I get up early, Jinglin Martial Arts teaches the students archery, and after lunch break, I go to manage the accounts in the accounting room.

Although a little busy, every day is still fulfilling.

She had been managing accounts for a long time, and when she recalled the accounts that Zhang Xing showed her, she felt that there were problems with those accounts.

But those accounts have already been burned to ashes, and it is very difficult to pursue them.

So she gave up pursuing the past, and worked hard for the present. Occasionally, there were some things that she couldn't understand, so she went to chat with Wu Shi, and Wu Shi taught her carefully.

In this way, Meng Qianyan made rapid progress.

The days passed day by day, and the weather became hotter and hotter. In a blink of an eye, it was already the hottest June, and the sound of cicadas chirping all day long.

On this day, she took a nap and went to the accounting room to check the accounts as usual.

The two boys who were in charge of keeping accounts had become more and more proficient. They kept the accounts neatly and placed them on the table.

When she entered the door, she picked up the account and looked through it. It was hot this summer, and a large pile of ice cubes had been brought into the house and put into the ice cellar.

"Is that all? Is there anything else?" Meng Qianyan looked at it and asked the boy in charge of bookkeeping.

"Returning to the young lady, all the trivial matters at home are recorded on it, and they are all normal expenses. Just now the third master came over and said that he wanted to tell the second young lady that the young master Ziqu wanted to take a concubine, so he wanted to approve it. Remember 3000 taels of silver for a wedding."

Meng Qianyan paused, "3000 taels? Are you sure 3000 taels is enough?"

"That's right, that's what the third master said. He will send someone to pick it up after he has approved it. For the rest, our servants can't ask more questions."

"Okay, then I see. Have you written the approval slip? I'll approve it, and let the third uncle come over to get the money."

"Hey, okay, I'll write it now, little one."

The servant finished writing the approval note, and Meng Qianyan approved it with a vermilion pen. Then she inquired about other matters, and after confirming that there was no problem, she left the accountant's room.

The 3000 taels of silver were approved, and within a few days, Sanfang became lively.

But although it is more lively, it is still different from ordinary marriages.Even on the wedding day, all the family members went to attend, and there was no big banquet.

Seeing He Wanwan in a pink dress being helped in from the side door, Meng Qianyan understood in his heart.In the future, the distance between her and Sanfang is about to be controlled.

The first is not to get too close, and the second is to beware of Sanfang.

Because a Zhu family and a He Wanwan are not so fuel-efficient.

After a simplified process, He Wanwan officially became the concubine of the third bedroom of the Luo family, and was helped into the new house by the servants.

"Dong'er, put the gifts away, we should go back."
