Chapter 740: concubine, eldest wife
"What's the plan of second brother Lian?" Feng Ziying was really curious about what Jia Lian was thinking. Why was he so focused on giving his own sister as a concubine?
Well, although they were not born from the same mother, they grew up together and Yingchun has a very good temper. It can be seen that Jia Lian still cares about this sister.
However, it is not a good idea to be a concubine. Even if he really does not want to marry Sun Shaozu in the spring, Jia Lian can help him find a more suitable family.
As for Yingchun's own thoughts, let alone whether she is that good in Yingchun's mind, even if Yingchun really has this kind of thoughts, I am afraid that no other woman would be willing to accept the identity of concubine, and Jia Lian should not accept it either. He's the kind of person who thinks too much about girls' thoughts.
"Ziying, I don't have any good plans. I have also thought about whether I could find another suitable family in the capital city if Sun Shaozu is not suitable. But you also know what the master is thinking. If these other families can't come up with anything better than Sun Shaozu, When more money comes, the master will definitely refuse it, but which good family is willing to spend thousands of taels of silver to marry a concubine's daughter? And he won't get the slightest benefit from this, let alone the gentry. There are not many people in Wuxun who are willing to marry me. The only ones I can choose are probably merchants. But if we marry an ordinary merchant family, why not be your concubine as promised? I'm so happy to be liked by my second younger sister."
Jia Lian’s words stunned Feng Ziying, “Huh?”
Jia Lian didn't feel that he had let anything slip. He said carelessly: "Ziying, in front of you, Brother Yu didn't say anything to cover up. I know that you have always loved women. Look at Jin Chuan'er and Xiang Ling in front of you." In the house, look at how even a girl like Qingwen who was kicked out could end up like this. Do you know what the maids in our house are thinking? They say that Uncle Feng is a man who loves and cares for others, so he Ping'er's little hooves were full of praise for you, so I teased her and said, I can't afford it anyway, so I'll just give her to you. You just got married, and the house is also in need of a housekeeper. Although the eldest maid, Qingwen, is not bad, her temperament still lacks experience..."
Feng Ziying was shocked and looked at Jia Lian carefully, but saw that his expression did not look like he was testing her.
He was also worried that Jia Lian might be aware of some of his coveting for Ping'er, but seeing his relaxed expression when talking and laughing, it seemed that his city couldn't do this.
"Second Brother Lian, don't be ridiculous. Ping'er is a caring person of Second Sister-in-law. How can I dare to expect that? There are indeed things in my house that are not straightened out, but take your time." Feng Ziying said calmly: " I also felt pity for Qingwen, and I didn’t hide it from my second brother, Qingwen’s straightforward temperament really suited my taste, so I helped her casually.”
"Hehe, Ziying, please don't hide it in front of Brother Yu. Who doesn't know that Qingwen's little hooves are pretty, but her temper is a bit hotter and her mouth is not forgiving. It's normal for you to fall in love with her. As long as you can It's fine as long as you can subdue her, but after this experience, that girl must be determined to follow you."
Jia Lian looked at Brother Zhu with a understanding expression, which made Feng Ziying speechless for a while. Is she as evil as Jia Lian said?
"Your appearance has taken away the thoughts of all the maids in our house. Siqi's little hooves said all kinds of good things about you in front of the second sister for this matter. You also know that the second sister has no intention to do anything. What kind of cowardice, when I heard that, I naturally thought that if I marry you as my concubine, I can always get good love and care, which is better than marrying a rough guy like Sun Shaozu who doesn't know how to pity others..."
Feng Ziying didn't expect that Siqi, a big-breasted girl, would play such a big role here, and even convince Yingchun, who had no opinion, to persuade him. If Jia She knew about it, wouldn't he be able to skin Siqi?
Miss Lobby is being a concubine for someone else despite being a good wife, isn't this a trick or something else?
"Second Brother Lian, I always feel that this matter is still inappropriate." Feng Ziying thought about it for a while with an embarrassed look on her face, "I just got married and said that I want to take a concubine. I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? Besides, Er Although my sister said this, it may be just a whim. If she really wants to get to this point, she needs to think clearly. This is a lifelong matter, and the difference between a wife and a concubine is worlds of difference..."
Feng Ziying is still unwilling to draw rash conclusions on this matter.
He has become more and more aware that his actions can change the fate of many people, and these people are real people, not the stereotypes in books, so he needs to be cautious in every word and deed.
Like Yingchun, if he really marries a scumbag with a violent temper like Sun Shaozu, he will definitely intervene. Even if he has the reputation of coveting Yingchun's beauty, he doesn't care. Anyway, his reputation is already very ostentatious, so it doesn't matter. One more.
However, we are far from that step yet, and Feng Ziying also believes that given Jia She's greedy temperament, as long as she wants to intervene, there should be no big problem.
For now, if Jia Lian can find a more suitable family for Yingchun, there is no need for him to collect stamps like the characters in the main and supplementary volumes of the Twelve Hairpins in "A Dream of Red Mansions". Of course, If there was really no suitable person and he could not save Yingchun from Sun Shaozu's fire and water, he would do his duty.
Jia Lian thought about it, they just got married here, so that's it for Er You. That was the aunt that Feng Ziying had raised a long time ago. Now that he was about to take a concubine, he was afraid that it would make other people's house restless. He sighed sadly. : "That is indeed the case, so we can only let this matter go? Ziying, please tell the truth to Brother Yu. Do you have any thoughts about my second sister? If so, Brother Yu will find a way to delay it for a year and a half. , if it’s really unintentional, then that’s it.”
Feng Ziying was stopped in one sentence.
If you really have no interest, it would be a bit against your will. The temperament of Yingchun, the little sheep, is quite charming and gentle. Wouldn't it be better to keep him in your own house than to marry someone else?
What's more, it was someone's initiative. There is no such thing as a scumbag these days. At least I am definitely not a scumbag.
Seeing that Feng Ziying remained silent, Jia Lian immediately understood and his face suddenly looked much better.
"Ziying, Brother Yu understands. It's up to Brother Yu to figure this out. But when the time comes, Ziying, you can't give up." Jia Lian said happily.
Seeing Jia Lian's expression, Feng Ziying wanted to defend herself, but felt powerless, or simply had no intention to defend herself. She just thought about it, and she was greedy. There was nothing to be embarrassed about.
When Jia Lian left, Feng Ziying couldn't help but ask: "In addition to borrowing 10,000 taels from me, can the Wang family also borrow it?"
"It's hard to say. It depends on the abilities of the second uncle and Sister Feng. As for the Wang family, it is said that Wang Ziteng doesn't care much about this kind of thing, and has returned to Shandong..." Jia Lian looked indifferent, Feng Ziying He came to borrow it here, but he didn't participate in the other two places.
“Oh? What about the Xue family?” Feng Ziying asked again.
"Oh, I understand." Feng Ziying estimated that it would be difficult to borrow the Wang family's money, and it would eventually fall to the Xue family, and the Xue family might not be able to refuse.
************
"Is this it?" With Qingwen's support, Shen Yixiu slowly got out of the car and looked around.
“Grandma, it’s in this alley.” Qingwen asked Baoxiang first, and after receiving a positive reply, she said, “Grandma, why don’t you let Baoxiang report first and let the two aunts prepare?”
Shen Yixiu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
She didn't want to leave an aggressive impression on Sister You. Although she was handling this matter as a big woman, the other party should kneel down and greet her, but she thought that Sister You had saved Lang Jun's life and even protected her. When Lang Jun went south to the south of the Yangtze River, Shen Yixiu felt that he should give him some face and respect.
After ordering Baoxiang to go into the alley to report, Shen Yixiu also got in the car, and then the driver slowly drove into the Maxiang Hutong.
"Qingwen, you haven't seen these two before?" Shen Yixiu never thought that he would have to deal with such matters as soon as he got married, and he took the initiative to ask for help.
It’s incredible to think about it. Last time I met my future “sister-in-law” at Dahuguo Temple, and they had a quiet “confrontation”. There were gains and losses for each other, but we also established a bit of friendship. , but this time it is different. These are two outhouses, but in fact Lang Jun also said that they are both daughters of innocent people and can be regarded as concubines.
I have to appease these two concubines. In the future, the children born to the concubines can only call themselves their mother and their biological mother their aunt. I am their real mother. This is the rule.
What’s even more weird is that these two people are not only the wives and sisters of Jia Zhen, the third-rank powerful general, the head of the Ningguo Mansion, but they are also two barbarian girls!
The complicated relationship here took Qingwen to explain to her for a long time before she understood it.
"I haven't seen it before. My maid has always been here in Rongguo Mansion and has nothing to do with Ningguo Mansion. And I heard that the uncle does not allow these two aunts to go to Ningguo Mansion..." Qingwen pursed her lips and explained. .
"Oh? Why?" Shen Yixiu was puzzled, "Aren't these two the wives and sisters of the head of the family?"
Qingwen's face turned slightly red, and she pondered for a moment before saying, "I think Uncle Zhen and Uncle Xiao Rong of Ningguo Mansion are acting too ridiculously. Well, they like women and have a bad reputation..."
Like women and have a bad reputation? Shen Yixiu was stunned. This seemed to be the evaluation of his husband by the sergeants in the capital city. Of course, it was only the evaluation of liking women, not a bad reputation. Then Qingwen's bad reputation might have some other meanings. .
Shen Yixiu also spat secretly and asked no more questions, "Well, then you don't understand these two aunts, Qingwen, either?"
"I don't know much about it, but I heard from Baoxiang that these two aunts are still very responsible. It is said that the second aunt You is timid, she can't even speak in a low voice, and she usually doesn't go out. The third aunt You is good at martial arts. , but he is a straightforward character and has no scheming..."
Qingwen's words made Shen Yixiu feel more at ease. She didn't expect that she would face such a situation as soon as she came to the Feng family.
Although I had vaguely heard about my husband's ridiculous things before, I still felt that it was far away, but now I suddenly felt that I had to face it directly, and naturally I felt a little panicked, especially since they were biological sisters.
“If that’s the case, there are two benefits.” Shen Yixiu nodded.
"Grandma, what are you worried about? They are the only ones worried about you, so why is grandma still worried about them?" Qingwen was a little funny.
In the Jia Mansion, she was used to seeing Mrs. Wang's attitude towards Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou. It was really rare to show some kindness, but her master's temperament was not comparable to Mrs. Wang's cold-hearted and vicious temperament. , is a kind person, but a kind person is also a grandmother, and other concubines also have to kneel down and serve tea.
"Qingwen, that's not what you said. You still don't understand my personality? They are all people I like, so why should I save some face?" Shen Yixiu said calmly: "I also hope that everyone can Get along well, so that your husband will not have to worry about the affairs of the back house every day when he comes back from official duties. That is my fault as a wife."
Seeing that Shen Yixiu was serious in what he said, Qingwen did not dare to interrupt. She also realized that although this grandma may seem to have a simple temper, once she got serious, not everyone could suppress her.
Just as the carriage was driving in the alley, Baoxiang ran into the yard panting.
I got the news one day in advance and made a lot of preparations, but when the incident came, Eryou still panicked.
This is not a joke. The uncle is here. It is a favor. Even if there is something really wrong, for the sake of loving each other and sharing the same bed, it will not be difficult. But today, the two sisters who come here are the ones who will spend the rest of their lives together. A master who must be faced and served.
That’s right, it’s the master. The head wife is the master to the concubines. No matter how favored your concubine is, you must behave yourself in front of the head wife. The difference in status determines this difference.
"Baoxiang, is grandma good-natured?" Mrs. You was even more nervous. The fate of her two daughters was also related to her own. If she couldn't win the approval and love of this new grandma, not only would the fate of her two daughters' life be at risk. Worryingly, it will be difficult for me to rely on myself for the rest of my life.
“Don’t worry, mom, our grandma has a very good temper. Even the uncle praises her. Otherwise, why would the uncle leave such matters to grandma?”
Baoxiang is also a good sleeper, and his words made Eryou feel much more at ease. After all, he has been serving her in bed for half a year. One day and a hundred days of kindness, if this grandma is a powerful grandma, I am afraid that I should also accompany her. Come together.
