After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

Ignoring the mutual compliments between Liu Ji and Mr. Ding, Qin Yao turned her head to look at Ding Xiang, who was so shocked that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear, and asked in a low voice:

"Master Ding brought you brothers and sisters into the marriage?"

"Ah?" Ding Xiang was stunned for a moment.

Qin Yao coughed twice to hide her embarrassment, and asked again: "Is your father getting married?"

This time, Ding Xiang understood. She explained carefully that her father was not married into the mother-in-law.

But getting married is real.

"Do you know why I came to your house?" Ding Xiang asked in a low voice.

After Qin Yao learned that Mr. Ding had remarried his second wife, she already had suspicions in her mind.

"Aren't you ready to come back?"

Ding Xiang nodded, her mood obviously lowered. She was actually a little scared and confused.

So before leaving, I must come and see Qin Yao.

She doesn't care about her father and brother's intentions. She just wants to see Qin Yao and ask her: "What should I do? Can you teach me?"

After the New Year, Ding Xiangxu turned fourteen.

This is an age where marriage can be discussed, and some have already made arrangements.

One thing was very clear to Ding Xiang. After her father told her and her brother that he had married a concubine who was a widower in prison, her marriage was about to become a bargaining chip for her father to stabilize his position in the capital.

Fortunately, she is not a pessimistic person and will not accept her fate easily.

But there's really not much she can do. At most, she can choose the conditions that are most acceptable to her within a limited scope.

What makes Ding Xiang fortunate is that after her father came back, he not only stopped stopping her from practicing riding and shooting, but also encouraged her to go out and walk more.

My father said that the more noble the ladies of Kyoto are, the more they have to show themselves to the public.

On Chang'an Street, the busiest street in Kyoto, the patrol guards are all female soldiers.

Those female soldiers, who held the most powerful positions, were all women from the most noble families in the Sheng Kingdom. They stopped and teased the new scouts who were passing by in the street.

Mr. Ding, who had just arrived in Kyoto, almost saw his eyes falling out.

The ladies of this prosperous country are so unrestrained and hot!

However, the strange thing is that it is difficult to see such a flamboyant woman outside Kyoto.

If you go to a corner like Kaiyang County, it's hard to see not only flamboyant ladies, but also romantic young men.

This prosperous country is like a pyramid. No matter whether you are a man or a woman, the higher you go up, the more noble you become.

That's power!

It is a power conferred by the Holy Queen and His Majesty.

No wonder everyone wants to climb up. The scenery at the top is indeed eye-catching with its prosperity and wealth.

But if you think about it carefully, the power structure is still very different from the previous dynasty.

In the past, the status and status of women from aristocratic families were indeed more noble than ordinary people, but they were never so noble that they could hold military power or even molest a flower girl in the street.

In the eyes of Mr. Ding, this new dynasty is very deviant.

But precisely because of his deviance, he was able to meet women from aristocratic families on the street who had never left the house before.

In this way, the bride can be welcomed into the family, and she can be appointed as the supervisor of the mutual market.

Although his bride is only a concubine, her surname is Xiao.

It is Xiao, one of the five major surnames in the capital.

Even if he is a collateral lineage, if it were not for destiny, he, a second-class Jinshi, would be far out of reach of this widowed concubine of the Xiao family.

What's more, he has a son and a daughter. He is in his thirties and his appearance is not outstanding.

As for Rong Niang, she got married at the age of seventeen and lost her husband at the age of nineteen. After observing her husband's mourning for three months, her aunt returned her home.

Everyone said that her life was precious, and her husband's family was too poor to enjoy her blessings, so he died young.

And because she gave birth to a son, he was fertile, with outstanding appearance and kind character. After returning home, he tried his best to help his mistress take care of the manor. Her mistress also loved her very much and prepared a lot of dowry for her.

There were countless men in the capital who wanted to marry Rong Niang, but unfortunately she looked down on them and had been widowed in Zhuangzi for many years.

Now in the good years of twenty-three, the matchmakers have almost broken through the door of the mutual market supervisor.

Mr. Ding just went to join in the fun and kindly helped maintain order. Suddenly, he was taken aback by Xiao Rong, who came to the house to present melons and fruits from the farm.

At that time, Mr. Ding had no official position and was temporarily living in the home of his cousin. Among the rich and powerful sons from aristocratic families in the city, he could not be said to be inconspicuous, but he could only be said to be extremely poor.

In the capital, the meager output of his Ding family village is not enough for a noble prince to give the singer a reward.

This marriage was not approved by the market supervisor at first, unless it was a marriage.

Fortunately, Mr. Ding, his cousin, was quite capable and provided money and effort to help pave the way for him.

First, he bought a house in the capital, and then spent a lot of money to hire the most powerful official media in the capital. Finally, coupled with Xiao Rong's persistence and Master Ding's sincerity to greet his future mother-in-law and father-in-law three times a day, serve tea and sweep the floor, he finally won the beauty. Return.

On that day, all the men in the capital who couldn't get married were saying: "Promotion, getting rich, and the death of your wife, the three treasures are combined into one, what unbeatable luck!"

Mr. Ding: I’m sweating profusely.

But people may not believe it when I say it, but he and Rong Niang are interested in each other, and this is a match made in heaven.

This time he would not return to his hometown so quickly. It was Rong Niang's urging that made him come back early.

She said: "Now that you and I are husband and wife, then your children are also my children. If they respect me, I will naturally plan a good future for them. When the children have their own families, you and I will have fun together." Grandson, enjoy your family."

Mr. Ding told these words to Ding Shi and Ding Xiang one by one to reassure them that their stepmother was definitely a good person and would treat them well. He also asked them to respect their stepmother and not act like a child.

Liu Ji and Mr. Ding were politely talking to each other when they were on the throne. Mr. Ding asked Gong Liangliao about his connections in the court, but Liu Ji didn't understand and laughed.

Ding Xiang and Qin Yao have already finished talking about Master Ding's matters in private.

Ding Xiang whispered worriedly: "My stepmother is eager to marry me off, and my father is determined to obey her. I'm afraid that I will be sold as soon as I arrive in the capital."

Qin Yao hissed, "Is it possible that there is something wrong with your father's story and that your stepmother is not in a hurry to throw you and your brother away?"

Ding Xiang was stunned, obviously not believing it.

Among the women Qin Yao has met, the only ones who fit the status of a noble woman are Aunt Qi and He Zhanghua.

Judging from their behavior, nobles attach great importance to face.

If Mr. Ding had just brought his children to the capital, and Xiao Rong was in a hurry to marry off his stepdaughter and let his stepson get married and move out, it would be a bit ugly.

Therefore, her words should be taken literally, rather than implying that Mr. Ding should quickly get his children married and leave the family so that they can live a life of two.

Prepare for the worst. If it is really so urgent, then the matter is a foregone conclusion. All Ding Xiang can do is pray that his stepmother and biological father will not have a child so soon.

Thinking of this, Qin Yao couldn't help but look at Master Ding a few more times. He was in high spirits during happy events, with a rosy complexion and full of vitality.

Ding Xiang asked curiously: "Qin Yao, what are you looking at?"

Qin Yao waved to Ding Xiang to come over and teach her the secrets of two moves.
