Chapter 55 Someone Proposes Marriage
Jiang Yuebai felt sad. As the younger sister-in-law said, her original friendship was slowly wiped out by the cruel life. She was anxious but powerless. If her brother was a cruel person, she would be fine if she was just a wife. If she couldn't make a fortune, she could live with her. If she was well developed, she could take a beautiful concubine. But her brother was not the kind of person who could abandon her bride, let alone the daughter of her mentor. When she was poor and humble, she would have to live with a big dowry. No matter how unfit she wanted, she would have to live with her. This is really a tragedy.
Back to Bo Mansion.
Madam Zhou was waiting for her. Since Su Yiqing went to the nunnery, Madam Zhou was asked by Xu to come over to help take care of the pregnant wife.
"Hello, young lady." Madam Zhou stepped forward respectfully.
"Madam Zhou, why are you here? Is Gui Niang unwell?" Jiang Yuebai asked hurriedly. Gui Niang was the pregnant wife. At this time, her belly was the top priority for the third wife. She must not be careless. If something happens, it will be counted on her regardless of whether it is God's will or man-made.
"No, it was the third lady who asked the servant to come and say to the young lady that the third lady would be kind and asked Qingniang to go back to her hometown to get married." Madam Zhou replied.
Qingniang was another wife. When Jiang Yuebai heard that she was sent out, she was stunned and immediately wondered, did Qingniang do something wrong? Otherwise, Guiniang would be pregnant and her husband would need someone to serve him, so she would be unable to send another wife.
"Mrs. Young Madam, don't get me wrong. It's my grandmother who came to ask for help, saying that Qing Madam's mother was sick and missed her daughter. The third lady was kind-hearted, so she gave her fifty taels of silver to let Qing Madam go home and reunite with her parents." Madam Zhou said with a smile and said, "I just came over to talk to the young lady."
After Madam Zhou left, Jiang Yuebai fell into deep thought. After thinking for a while, he asked the maid Heye, who was beside her, to inquire about Gui Niang's pregnancy and her husband was short of people to serve her. Why did she suddenly get rid of Qing Niang? It was Qing Niang herself. If she could survive until she was pregnant and had hope of carrying her aunt, she would never go out at this time. But if she could get fifty taels of silver, she must have done nothing wrong.
He Ye went to inquire and found nothing. Everyone said that this was the kindness of the third lady, and at most it was speculated. Or at the same time, Gui Niang was pregnant and was about to take care of her aunt, but Qing Niang didn't. The fifth young master kept feeling indifferent when Qing Niang was in despair. Qing Niang was so desperate that it might as well take advantage of the third lady's happiness and ask for grace to go out to get married while she was young.
However, some young maids who were at the age of being the ones were thrust into the air and tried every means to join Su Jinxu or Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai knew what these little maids were thinking. Didn’t he just want Qingniang to leave and Guiniang is pregnant again, and Su Jinxu was short of people to serve him?
Although she didn't want to have more room with her husband, Jiang Yuebai thought of her own situation and still gritted her teeth and found an opportunity to advise Xu, should two people be left to serve her husband?
Xu looked at Jiang Yuebai with a smile and said, "Are you really willing?"
Jiang Yuebai lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "It is a blessing to have more children and grandchildren."
Xu raised his eyebrows lightly: "You must be very confused. Why did I send Qingniang? It's very simple. Qingniang and Guiniang lifted the room at the same time, and Guiniang is about to give birth. Her belly is not moving, so it is inevitable that people will have some thoughts. Instead of letting her have some thoughts to do something in psychological dissatisfaction, it's better to send it out early. The concubine's room is just a toy. It's better to give it away as soon as possible."
Jiang Yuebai bit his lip and hesitated: "Does the husband need another... to serve him?"
She really didn't want someone else around Su Jinxu, but instead of telling her mother-in-law, she might as well take the initiative herself and gain a good reputation for being virtuous.
"Not to use it for the time being. There are too many people and there are many things. Let's wait until Gui Niang gave birth to this baby. After all, you young couple are still young, and no matter how many concubines there are, they are not as good as the legitimate son." Xu said slowly.
Jiang Yuebai felt relieved.
On the other side, Madam Zhou was also comforting Gui Niang and said, "Don't worry, Niang Qing was going home to get married, which is a good thing for her."
Gui Niang was still very nervous. When Qing Niang left, she didn't know that she could not come back after leaving. She thought that her wife's grace would let her go home and fulfill her filial piety. She also said that she would bring her the lotus seeds that had just been picked in the pond. Why did she say that Qing Niang would go home and get married in a blink of an eye?
Seeing her face full of sorrow, Madam Zhou sighed: "My grandma Gui, the most important thing now is to relax and give birth to a healthy fetus. The lady said that if you give birth to a brother, you will be your aunt. This is a great thing."
The brother was born as a concubine, but what if he was a sister? Gui Niang didn't dare to think that the maids were all familiar with each other. Everyone knows the situation at Qingniang's family. There are two brothers, one of them has not yet been married. When Qingniang goes there, how many 50 taels can be reached by Qingniang? Maybe it will be sold again.
Seeing this, Madam Zhou sighed secretly. The two rooms chosen by the third lady are indeed good, and they are simple-minded, but sometimes people with simple-mindedness are often confused.
Previously, the fifth young lady's brother was named Jie Yuan, and the third wife also valued the young lady very much. However, later, the young lady's brother did not participate in the examination. There were accidents in the mansion one after another. Miss Jiu was resigned and kissed with such a bad reputation. She followed Miss Jiu at that time and saw it really. Miss Jiu was really wronged. It was the slut who rushed up without knowing how to live or die, and then fell inexplicably.
Many people in the mansion were talking about it, saying that Miss Jiu is hard to kiss now, and she took care of Miss Jiu. She couldn't help but be anxious, and naturally thought of Mrs. Young Master's brother.
No matter how rumors outside, the young lady should understand Miss Jiu's character. The young lady's brother has not yet married, and Mrs. Cen is still wondering if she should tell him a concubine's daughter.
It would be great if the young lady's brother could propose marriage to Miss Ninth. During that time, the third lady seemed to have this idea, but it did not work. The young lady's brother also moved out of the house borrowed by Mrs. Zhou and married the daughter of his mentor. I think the matter was still with the young lady's brother. The young lady's family is really like that. She didn't look at her background and received so many favors from the uncle's mansion, but she didn't know how to repay her kindness. No wonder the third lady was disappointed and even became cold when she was in the fifth lady.
This may not be the fault of the fifth young lady. After all, as a married woman, how could the fifth young lady be the boss of her brother? But as a daughter-in-law, she cannot help her in-laws. Why do you still have to protect you and pity you and think about you everywhere?
The third lady in disappointment wanted to praise her aunt. If she could not be as close as her husband's wife, she would have to be suppressed by her aunt, otherwise she would be in a big way. Gui Niang was honest and had a low status, so it would be fine even if she could be raised.
Just seeing whether Gui Niang would seize the opportunity, the third lady would not want to ask for trouble for nothing, sentimentality, and she couldn't even take care of herself.
All the time to hit it, and if Gui Niang still wants to worry about herself, no one can help her.
Comforting Gui Niang.
Ruier stumbled and ran in.
Madam Zhou frowned and scolded, "What did you do in a panic? What happened?"
Gui Niang also looked at Rui'er nervously.
Rui'er said in one breath: "Madam, someone proposes marriage to Miss Jiu."
"What's so strange about proposing marriage?" Madam Zhou disagreed. Although Miss Jiu's reputation is so bad, there are still people who propose marriage. There are still many people who come for Miss Jiu's dowry. Thinking of the wealth of the third house, Miss Jiu must have a lot of dowry. So what if it's a bad reputation? It's just a woman who takes off the dowry when entering the door. A woman can make a fortune. No one sympathizes with anything that a woman with a bad reputation has.
It's fine if it's not her business. Gui Niang asked curiously: "Whose young master is it?"
Ruier said: "He is the second son of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion and the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion."
When Madam Zhou heard about the tomorrow of Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, she was also surprised.
This is also the reason why Ruier made a fuss. After all, he grew up in Yuanping Bo Mansion. After hearing more of her, a little maid, he also knew what the Duke's Mansion was. Wang, Duke, Hou, Bo, Zi, Male, Duke's Mansion was two levels higher than the Duke's Mansion.
Since the founding of this dynasty, there were four former Duke Mansions, two of which were incompetent, and their descendants were not good at being. The title of the criminal was taken back. Now there are only two remaining, one is Duke Mansion of Lu and the other is Duke Mansion of Zhenguo.
It is said that the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion was in constant turmoil many years ago. The reason was that the current Zhenguo Duke Zhao Jian led a dozen people to attack the northwest fierce tribe who threatened the court at that time with one man's strength, and assassinated the Mongolian leader. It can be said that it almost took one soldier and one soldier to resolve a major crisis in the court.
Those who deserve such great achievements should be granted the title of king, at least one prince was the prince, but Duke Zhenguo only asked to let the concubine Luo, who was born in an official slave and became a scholar-in-law, and the brothers of Luo, get rid of the family and straighten the family.
This practice of not loving the country and loving beauty shocked the court. It is not too much. Isn’t it just a woman? It saved the imperial court a lot of rewards, and the emperor was willing to do it, but the scholars and officials disagreed, thinking that Luo’s family was a low-class family, so how could they be the wife of the Duke? Especially important, the late Duke of Zhenguo Lan left a legitimate son, and Luo also had a son but the eldest son of the illegitimate son. If Luo wanted to support the official family, it would be fine if the illegitimate son was removed from his family. Some people advised Zhao Jian to be a single name? As long as the official family was not renewed, the Luo family was the only one with a title, but it was still the same in the backyard. In fact, it was still the same. You can also ask Luo to be granted an imperial decree with a slightly lower rank, which was just a glorious one. Zhao Jian refused. In the end, the old emperor agreed. As for the illegitimate son, they were all the sons of Duke Zhenguo, and it was up to him to decide who to be the crown prince. This matter has been passed down as a good story among the people.
In the past ten years, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was low-key and almost kept his door open. As the mistress, Luo did not come out for socializing. This was equivalent to the couple living their own life behind closed doors and becoming the best portrayal of the heroic tomb of the Beauty Village. (To be continued.

ps: Recommended book "Jiangmen Guixiu" by two friends, the Tiger Girl is as good as a man. And "The Lolita of the Wandering" is very funny and suitable for reading today. o(n_n)o
