Chapter 439: Volume C: Outer Room, Taking Concubines
“Young master, just have a drink with your second and third sisters and don’t worry about me.” Madam You smiled cheerfully and waved her hands, then brought up a plate of dishes.
Feng Ziying was too lazy to ask any more questions. She squinted her drunken eyes to see that Third Sister You was sipping her wine without a sip. Her white and tender face was filled with red clouds, and there was lingering affection between her brows.
"Brother Feng, if you really want to go south, why don't you disguise yourself as a man and accompany you? I heard that Japanese pirates still frequently raid Ningbo and Quanzhou, and even go deep into inland areas. If public security is not stable, it will be difficult for the garrison troops to resist..."
Seeing Sister You's concern, Feng Ziying felt warm in her heart.
Not to mention, he only learned about the situation in Southern Zhili and Fujian and Zhejiang through Long Jinwei and Xingbu after he decided to go south. Although the Japanese pirates are now far less rampant than before the Renchen Japanese Rebellion, they are still quite threatening.
After the Japanese Rebellion subsided, there were still a large number of homeless samurai and ronin who had no way to make a living and began to go to sea. Therefore, after a few years of silence, the momentum of the Japanese pirates increased again in the past two years, although it could not keep up with the Imjin Japanese Rebellion. before, but it is still much more arrogant than six or seven years ago.
Of course, most of these pirates are small groups and pose a great threat to local security. However, it is far from being said that conquering cities will endanger the Zhou regime.
"No, if I want to go, I will go with the adults from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I will follow Jiwei. If there is danger, they should be the first to bear the brunt. I guess Lieutenant Long Jin is also afraid of it. Someone should follow us south." Feng Ziying smiled and picked up a chopstick of venison. "Third sister, come and try this seabass. It was sent by Tianjin Wei. It tastes great. Second sister, you can also try it. …”
Grabbing a piece of sea bass each with chopsticks for Third Sister You and Second Sister You. Third Sister You was charming and cross-eyed, while Second Sister You was timid and added wine. Feng Ziying felt quite happy with her life.
After a busy day with official duties, it’s really nice to take a break and relax here. However, I’m afraid there won’t be many more days left. Even Qi Shi is urging himself to go south as soon as possible, and the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works are also busy over there. Preparations, if there is no accident, I am afraid that we will go south within three to five days.
"Brother Feng, don't think so. The Japanese pirates are just like the horse thieves in Ganzhou. Once they encounter them, they won't care who is the leader. They only want your property and life. Maybe the horse thieves may even consider killing the imperial court. The influence brought by officials, but the Japanese pirates will not care about this." Third Sister You was still a little worried, so she reminded her, "I think Captain Long's abilities are limited, and he may not be able to..."
You Sanjie had seen Zhang Jin's ability in Ganzhou, and it was very average. However, those with thousands of households like Long Jinwei may not necessarily be highly skilled in martial arts. Most of them can only be promoted if they are able to do things well and have a background. Those who are highly skilled in martial arts are also He's just a thug.
"Well, I'll think about it for a while." Feng Ziying also knew that Third Sister You was also a restless mistress. She couldn't stay in the capital city for only one month, and she often had some disagreements with Mrs. You. , so I wanted to go south with myself.
Hearing what Feng Ziying said, Third Sister You immediately felt better and quickly helped Feng Ziying pick up vegetables and pour wine.
"Second sister, third sister, how many people have been invited to the room?" Feng Ziying saw the mutton-fat white jade-like hand swaying in front of her eyes through her drunkenness. She couldn't help but squeeze it, and asked smoothly, "Is it enough to serve?"
"My mother invited a couple. The man stayed at the door, the woman did some chores, and a widow was responsible for cleaning. Our family has endured hardships, and we can get by without anyone to wait on us..." Third Sister You When Feng Ziying took her hand, her heart felt hot. She quickly pulled her hand away and glared at the drunken Feng Ziying.
Next to her, Second Sister You was hiding her mouth and snickering, which made Third Sister You even more upset. Seeing that her mother had gone out, she gritted her teeth and said softly: "Brother Feng, I also know that Second Sister and I are both With the posture of Puliu, she is not qualified to serve a hero like Brother Feng..."
Feng Ziying saw that Third Sister You also had beautiful eyes and loving eyes, and her face was flushed. Such words were even more shocking. Her hand that had already been taken away reached out and pulled it back, "Why did Third Sister say this?"
“..., my little sister knows that your Feng family has a big family, and it’s hard to get into the family. But my little sister and my second sister are both from clean and good families. If, if..."
Sanjie You was heartbroken, but she couldn't break free, and she couldn't speak any more.
“What if it is?” Feng Ziying smiled softly and said more and more boldly.
"If it is, if Brother Feng intends to have my two sisters serve the king, he can welcome them back someday. But if Brother Feng only wants to covet my sister's body and raise her outside, then my sister will definitely not be able to..."
Even though she and her second sister are not official ladies, their biological father is also a military officer, but their family is in decline, and their mother remarried, and they are reduced to this. However, even Xiaojiabiyu cannot be someone's wife, and she will have no status in the future, and maybe that will happen. One day, a lady comes to your door. You are not even qualified to kneel down and beg for mercy. Even if you give birth to a child, you may not be able to enter the Feng family ancestral hall. If you can carry the door as a concubine, you will at least have a layer of protection.
There was silence in the room for a moment, and you could hear a pin drop clearly.
And Na You, the old lady, stuck her **** out and pressed her face against the crack of the door, eager to hear how the Feng family eldest man would answer.
Feng Ziying didn't expect that Third Sister You would actually say such words. Although she was already a little drunk, her consciousness was very clear. Her request was also normal, that is, she should not be a concubine, but should be carried into Feng Ziying's house as a concubine. Go home.
It's just that for Feng Ziying, taking a concubine is naturally okay. The problem is that if he has to take a concubine before he marries a wife, he has to go to his mother to discuss it, and he has to consider whether it is appropriate or not.
Seeing Feng Ziying pick up the wine glass and remain silent, Third Sister You and Second Sister You turned pale. Could it be that Brother Feng had never thought of admitting them into the family? It turns out that all those sweet words were just deception, were they really just for fun?
“Of course I know the affection of my second and third sisters for me, but I haven’t married yet. If I want to accept you two into the house first, it’s not impossible, but I need to talk to my mother and aunt first...”
Feng Ziying put down her wine glass, and one word made the two You girls feel more at ease. Mrs. You outside the door also kept saying Amitabha in her heart, but they also knew that it was not an easy task to carry it into the Feng Mansion. Before Feng Ziying got married, Feng's mother could decide whether they would live or die. If she didn't agree, they would never enter the house.
"But there is no need to worry about the second and third sisters. My mother has always listened to me. She originally said that she hoped that I could marry and take concubines as soon as possible to continue the Feng family's legacy. I guess that the second and third sisters' bodies are capable of My mother likes it..."
Feng Ziying's slow words finally made the two daughters of the You family feel relieved. When Mrs. You went to the Ningguo Mansion, she inquired about the Feng family. She knew that although the Feng family's inner house was dominated by the Duan family, it was because Feng Ziying was the only legitimate son. , the big and small Duans were very fond of Feng Ziying, so Feng Ziying's words were basically ignored.
After the words were made clear, the two daughters of the You family immediately felt relieved. Madam You, who had been hiding and eavesdropping outside, was also elated. She finally had a supporter for the rest of her life.
After coming to the Capital City, You Lao Niang has been thinking about how to live in the Capital City in the future. Ganzhou City is considered a big city in Gansu Town, but after entering the Capital City, You Lao Niang I feel that even living in a shack outside the city is better than Ganzhou City.
Although the capital city is rich and prosperous, the expenses are staggering. All kinds of expenses cost money, and everything is extremely expensive. Even water costs one or two hundred copper coins a month. Think about it. It's all heartbreaking.
This also made You Lao Niang deeply feel that this capital city is really a place that only rich people can enjoy.
The Ningguo Mansion is unreliable. The eldest sister is not her biological child, and she can also see that although You is the mistress in name, the son-in-law is not a worry-free master. He just does whatever he wants. , there are no sure-fire actresses or prostitutes in the mansion, and Youshi can't control them at all, which makes the Ningguo mansion a mess. No wonder the third sister said that she must never enter the Ningguo mansion, so as not to tarnish her reputation in the future.
Now I am finally looking forward to seeing the sun rise in the clouds. If the second sister and the third sister can be the concubines of the Feng family master and give birth to a son and a half daughters in the future, then I will have a backer in this life, food and clothing. No more worries.
Seeing that Feng Ziying was so drunk that she finally fell asleep at her desk, Sanjie You quickly supported him.
Second Sister You and Third Sister You didn't know whether to leave Feng Ziying to sleep here, or to ask Ruixiang from the outer courtyard to notify the carriage. In this case, they would definitely not be able to ride back.
"Third Sister, Second Sister, why don't you let him sleep in the room? You and I will also enter his room..." Madam You thought that it would be better to let the rice cook. This is the eldest son of the Feng family. At first glance, he is also a man who values love and keeps his promises. He might be able to carry his two daughters into the Feng Mansion earlier.
Sanjie You's face was full of anger and she glared at her mother, "How can that be done? There's no place for people to laugh at you!"
“Then how can you leave when he looks like this?” Mrs. You glared at Third Sister You, and then at her second daughter, “Second Sister, go help him to your house.”
But Second Sister You was shy and uneasy. She glanced at her angry sister and then at her mother, not knowing what to do.
