Chapter Twelve Boren Died Because of Me
After that, Madam Zhou said too much and her mouth broke a lot after some reason. She told Su Yiqing that the maids and mothers who followed Su Yixiang were sent to the village.
The mother-in-law is a little bit better. She has children and daughters, and she can come out to support her son in a few years, but the maid is in trouble. She is all given to a rough man who can't marry a wife in the village. The maid who can follow the lady is carefully selected, and her appearance and talent are the best choices. Many small landlords and merchants are rushing to ask for it.
Now, these maids who are a little stronger than the ladies of small families want to marry the lowest-class farmer who can't even marry his wife. Su Yixiang's personal maid Zhu'er knew that she was going to marry a man who was older than her father and lived in a thatched hut. That night, she hanged a rope.
Su Yiqing felt cold all over. I wouldn't kill Boren. Boren died because of me, and she felt deeply guilty.
She also knew at that time that she would run out to say these words to Mrs. Cen, and some innocent people would definitely be implicated, but she had no choice but to take care of so many things.
She really didn't expect the punishment to be so severe, and she didn't expect it to cause death.
When Madam Zhou said this, she kept observing Su Yiqing's face.
Seeing that her face showed regret, she changed the subject and told her that the fourth room was really uneasy recently. The two maids given to the fourth room by Mrs. Cen were not carried as concubines, but only treated as a husband.
Because Mr. Su Si wanted to formally accept the second wife, he was the daughter of a innocent family.
The mansion said that the raising of the aunt is different from the serious second house. The mansion just said that the raising of the aunt is just acknowledged. The outside world does not recognize the raising of the aunt by a maid, but the second house carried in by a innocent family is not the case.
Su Yiqing likes to read, and has read the official and unofficial history of the past and present lives. She knows that the laws of each dynasty are different and the ways of treating concubines are different.
Take the previous two dynasties as an example. A concubine is a concubine. Once she is a concubine, she will be a concubine for life. It is absolutely impossible to be upheld. Promoting a concubine to a wife means that she violates the law and will be sentenced to prison if the incident occurs.
But in the previous dynasty, a great man born to a concubine, was powerful and the court and the people who forced him to correct the law and let the concubine's mother straighten her. At first, there were some oppositions, but later everyone gradually tasted the sweetness.
If the status of a concubine is low, there will be fewer women who are willing to be concubines. If there is a possibility of being upright, there will be more willing women and more opportunities to choose. Which man doesn’t want more beautiful concubines of noble birth? The children born from such concubines are also higher. Men may not care whether the status of the woman sleeping around them is low, but they must not care about their children.
Those concubines were born to promising officials who entered the court. Naturally, they were willing to improve their status as their mothers.
However, in order to prevent the concubines from causing chaos, after several reforms, the only one who can be upright is the only one who can be upright is the second wife, who are serious. Those maids, concubines, singers and other men of lowly origins are not qualified. The quota of such good concubines is limited, and there can only be two literati and official officials, and only one ordinary gentry can have.
Of course, when you close the door, you can accept as many as you like, not just the same title? The so-called concubine is the same as the concubines in the palace, and the queen can be called the queen, and ordinary concubines can also be called the queen, but the ranks are very different.
Generally speaking, noble families do not like to have such a second-bedroom family. There are many title families in noble families. The dispute over titles is already troubled by a mother and a compatriot, let alone other things. This can easily cause chaos in the family, so ordinary noble families have no family, or they are seriously ill and cannot handle the housework, so they carry the second-bedroom to help with the cooking.
It is different for officials' families. If the son born in the official family is not good, he needs another son who can study, otherwise he will easily decline. Therefore, there are many good concubines in officials' families, and the mother is noble by her son.
Although the fourth wife Chen family had no son, he had a daughter, and had a concubine's son around him. He was healthy and might not be able to have another child. Mr. Su did this clearly to slap Chen in the face. The daughter of the Chen family's merchants, the second wife who was carried in was a scholarly family. In terms of origin, it was much better than the Chen family.
You can imagine how difficult the Chen family will be in the future.
What Su Yiqing didn't quite understand was that since everyone knew that this was the source of family chaos, why did Master Su Si still do this? She had also met Master Su Si, a shrewd and capable man, and would not be confused by true love, right?
After thinking about it for a day, I couldn't figure it out. Seeing that Madam Zhou seemed to want to mention her, she avoided the person and asked Madam Zhou quietly.
Madam Zhou smiled, "Miss has grown up, I know that the lady is a smart person."
Su Yiqing didn't take Madam Zhou's praise seriously, thinking that it was just a casual and perfunctory word.
Madam Zhou curled her smile and whispered: "Miss, you can't say anything I say to you, Madam."
Su Yiqing didn't dare to talk nonsense, so she nodded vigorously.
Madam Zhou then said, "The fourth master is very good at making a plan. The new aunt comes from a scholarly family. Although she is a little down, some relationships are still there. The young master of the fourth wife goes to school and has good luck in the future, and it is easy to pass the imperial examination and Jinshi. The fourth wife has money and lacks only a way. If she can become an official, many things will be different."
Su Yiqing understood that if the fourth wing could be an official, there would be no need to rely on the Bo Mansion. The officials would protect each other and have money to open the way, so the four wings could be divided. Although the road was long and difficult, it was better than being controlled by the Bo Mansion now.
But even Madam Zhou could see Master Su's plan, can't the others see it? Will they look at a chicken that can only lay golden eggs and walk away?
After being in a state of custody for half a month, Su Yiqing was finally able to leave the yard. But after the last incident, Mrs. Cen disliked her very much. When she greeted her and joked, she always deliberately ignored her. Occasionally, she had any gadgets, so she was not good to not give it to her alone, but only chose the one she gave it to her the second most.
The master was like this, and the servants were even more negligent, and the maid and the old lady around Su Yiqing were also excluded.
Everyone was quite resentful.
Only Madam Zhou became more attentive.
Su Yiqing was confused again, not knowing what Madam Zhou was thinking. When she was doing well in the past, Madam Zhou just did her duty and could do it as soon as she could. She didn't take much attention, but when something happened to her, Madam Zhou became diligent.
It is the same thing, and it is easy to tell whether you do your best or do your best.
The Xu family also changed their attitude, but Xu is Su Yiqing's biological mother. She ignored her daughter for so many years and suddenly realized her conscience was not uncommon, especially since she is eleven years old and has barely reached the age of being a relative. She has no choice but to be careless in terms of her upbringing. In the past, Mrs. Cen was there, and Xu had a bad temper and reputation, so she simply let go. Now Su Yiqing is disgusted by Mrs. Cen, and her mother takes care of the common sense of affairs.
