Concubine Raiders Chapter 15: State of affairs (medium)


There is a three-foot-square shrine on the front of the    hall, for the sitting statue of Guanshiyin, like the small three-legged lacquer incense burner in front of which three Ganan incense sticks.

  Amidst the curling cigarettes, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is watching all living beings with an expression of love and compassion.

  I heard that the maid told me that the eleven mother had come to send Luozi in person, and the two aunts came one after another.

Aunt   , with a round smile, her expression was gentle and affectionate, and she told Caixia loudly: "Quickly, bring tea to Miss Eleven!"

   There was also a little smile on the thin face of the second aunt, and she pointed to the grand teacher's chair beside her: "Sit down and talk!"

   Eleven Niang smiled and salutes the two aunts, half-sit in the chair of the teacher, and motioned for Amber to hand over the box to the two aunts, and said modestly: "I don't know if it's right?"

Aunt    took the box with her hands, and smiled before she saw it: "It is agreeable, agreeable, how can it be disagreeable!"

When the    maids had tea, the aunty said with a smile: "I went to Luyun Tower this morning. I heard that you were chatting, so I didn’t bother you. I went to Miss Ten."

  Since I personally sent Luozi, I wanted to take this opportunity to clarify something. Since the other party is not taboo, he also meant to open the window and speak brightly.

   going around in circles, it looks hypocritical.

   Eleven Niang smiled slightly: "I heard that you went to Shi Niang’s place. I asked Dongqing to invite him. Who knows that you are gone. I thought that after the network was opened, she would be sent over, so I didn’t let her go. Chase."

   Auntie smiled kindly: "I went to the fifth lady."

  Eleven mothers couldn't help being surprised, her lips were slightly curled, she was thinking about what to say, the auntie had already sighed: "You are young, and I don’t know some things before.

   Your eldest sister’s in-law’s family is waiting for Xu’s family in Yongping. The ancestor borrowed from Hebei. Because of the merits of the dragon, he was awarded the title of hereditary replacement. During the Zheng'an period, the Xu family was involved in the'Zheng'an King's conspiracy case' and was seized of the title. Although the title was restored during the Yannian period, the momentum was not as good as before. When the old man was an official in Beijing, he had a good relationship with the old man of the Xu family and gave your eldest sister to the Xu family.

   At that time, Miss Xu's family was just a powerless and powerful concubine Jane. Her uncle didn’t read much, and she had an older brother and a younger brother. She was a seventh-ranked guard in the Imperial Guard. The eldest lady was not willing .

  Who knows, time turns around.

   First, my uncle’s brother died of illness, my uncle became knighted, and the eldest lady became Mrs. Yongpinghou. Later, King Jane became emperor and named Miss Xu's queen. The uncle quelled the Miao Si and the Northern Xinjiang Rebellion successively, sealed the general, and became the governor of the third rank. Such splendid wealth is not for everyone. "

  Speaking of this, the auntie has a few cold eyes in her eyes.

  " The eldest lady had a miscarriage of her first child, and the old lady of the Xu family was in charge. First, she stopped the medicines of Qin and Tong in the two common rooms in the uncle’s room before the lady came in, and then took the Yangzhou language for the uncle. The eldest daughter of the family was a concubine. In the second year, Qin gave birth to a son and carried her aunt. Although Aunt Wen did not have the blessings of Qin, she also gave birth to a daughter. As for the eldest of our family, she did not have any in a few years. The movement was quiet. So he took the close-knit maid Qiula into the house. Finally, Qiula was also pregnant and gave birth to a son in the second year, but the child died before the full month.

   For this matter, our eldest wife didn’t know how many gods we had prayed to, how many Buddhas we had worshipped. The eldest lady didn’t know how many secret recipes she had searched for, and how many medicines she had taken. Finally, we had good news in the eighth year of marriage. Who knows, the child was born prematurely in the seventh month of pregnancy, and gave birth to a weak son who could not even cry a lot, named Ge Ge. "

   Eleven Niang could not help but softly "ah".

  In the eyes of Luo's wife and servants, among the sisters of Luo's family, Luo Yuanniang has always been a god-like distant existence.

   Outstanding appearance, outstanding love, married to the dignitaries of the dynasty, and gave birth to a son... All the happiness that can be thought of in the world can be found in her. But she didn't expect... What she didn't expect was that the Wen Jia, who was known as one of the four great masters in Jiangnan, even agreed to let her daughter be a concubine for Yongping Hou.

   She thought of the second aunt's words that day, "Brother Chen is a son, but not the son of the prince." Could this be the inside story?

   Xi Niang feels her throat is dry, she wants to ask, but she doesn't know how to speak.

  "It’s not full-term, it’s just fed with ginseng bird’s nest. After all, it’s no better than Qin’s son, he’s alive and kicking, and he’s smarter. He can read at the age of three, break text at the age of five, and he will be at the age of seven. I'm just nine years old now, and I say that I will end the exam next year." Then, the aunt gave a deep glance at Eleven Niang, "So, our eldest lady has been having trouble sleeping and eating in recent years... …The body is naturally impossible to heal."

   The Xu family is really complicated...

  11 Niang smiled bitterly in my heart. He groaned: "Wen family, why would you agree to give your daughter to someone else as a concubine... This is too shameless!"

   The second aunt, who has been silent for a long time, gave a cold "hum" and said in an ironic tone: "What is the face? Can I eat or drink. The Wen family has this relationship and won this year. The porcelain business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Compared with the profit on porcelain, what is the face?"

   Eleven Niang wanted to speak but stopped.

   As the second aunt said, the face can neither eat nor drink, but when it is critical, it can make people straighten their backs and overcome the dilemma of not eating or drinking.

   But she didn't come to argue with the two aunts, nor did she have any thoughts of changing others.

   She smiled faintly, and said: "In this way, Qiulao in our house is accompanied by a lady from the Wen family, and it is not alone!"

   actually asked the auntie, what happened to Qiulao who gave birth to Yongping Hou?

   Auntie is also a clever person, she immediately smiled and said: "Qin family was trained by the old lady of the Xu family since childhood. Wen family is a concubine. Although we Qiulao is beautiful, if this woman is only beautiful, then How can there be a saying that the right person is right?" As he said, he covered his mouth and smiled, and there were a few charms in the corners of his eyes and brows.

   In other words, Qiula didn't even get an aunt!

  Eleven Niang's face changed slightly.

   Although these two aunts have passed away in their years and their faces are haggard, the indiscriminate manner in their gestures allows her to guess how beautiful they were back then. Isn't it the best argument for "women can't just rely on being beautiful" if they all fall to this end?

   She couldn't help but sigh slightly.

  "But our Luo family is the family of officials and officials, and the old lady is tired from officials to cabinet scholars. It is not comparable to the generations of businessmen of the literary family." Xi Niang further verified, "Lighting the lamp of long life is not an ordinary Buddhist affair. Right?"

   "Unexpectedly, you still know about lighting a long-life lamp." The second aunt, who had been cold-faced, had a thick smile in her eyes. "When Ma Zifu, the former servant of the bureaucrat, was in politics in Shaanxi, Some women from outside the room returned with a son, and the first emperor still called him “very good officials and excellent talents.” What's more, none of the three of you have a genealogy!"

   Now, the eleven mother can no longer conceal the throbbing in her heart, and her face suddenly becomes pale.

   "No genealogy?"

   She never knew that she did not have a genealogy.

   Auntie sighed, and she looked at her with some pity: "When you first came back from Fujian, the second and third elders also came back from your post with your family members. There were many things at home. It just so happened that you fell down again...the big lady can forget it!"

  

  Eleven Niang returned to Lvyunlou in a complicated mood.

   Shi Niang has not returned yet.

   She asked Dongqing to inquire about the news. Baizhi said, Shi Niang has not come back since she went out in the afternoon.

   Eleven Niang was silent for a long time and asked Amber to unfold the words written by Wu Niang to Dongqing.

   "When I give you one night, you trace a picture on bright paper."

   Although she didn't know what Eleven Niang was going to do, Dongqing responded respectfully as before.

   Eleven Niang did not say anything, but was served by Amber and rested.

   Early the next morning, Holly put a dark circle on her eyes and handed in her errand.

   Eleven Niang took it over and looked at it carefully for a long time, then nodded and smiled: "Holly's painting skills are getting better and better. I worked hard yesterday, go and rest!"

   Dongqing retired, and Eleven Niang wrote a letter, then put the letter and bright paper into an envelope, sealed it and gave it to Qiu Ju: "You send this to Master Jian of Hangzhou Prefecture." Amber again She was given five taels of silver, "Never let others know."

   After entering the winter moon, Master Jian went back to Hangzhou to celebrate the New Year, and only returned to Luofu in March next year.

   Qiuju took the letter and put it in her arms: "Miss is asking Master Jian about embroidering the screen, right? I won't tell anyone else."

   She has an older brother who works as a servant in Ma Yuan, and he has a very good relationship with the boatmen who transported goods to the Luo family~IndoMTL.com~ Eleven Niang didn't explain much, and smiled and went to the wife.

   "I slept well last night, and I will start embroidering the screen when I go back."

   tried her best to come today earlier than yesterday, but she still saw Wu Niang.

Mrs.    immediately asked her to give her goat tits, and when she drank it, she let her embroider the screen with peace of mind. She would not use it for the peace at night, and emphasized: "It is true filial piety to embroider the screen on time."

   The eldest wife said something like this last time. It seems that the eldest wife is not fake.

   Eleven Niang thought, she responded with a smile, chatted with the old lady a little, and went back to the Lvyun Tower, and began to concentrate on embroidering the screen.

   A few days later, the lady sent someone to make spring clothes for the eleven mothers.

   Holly is stunned.

   Spring clothes are custom-made, and they must be after the second day of February.

   Now, haven’t Chinese New Year yet?

  Eleven mothers just looked up and asked: "Is it just for me? Or everyone has it?"

  The person who came to measure clothes smiled and said: "Naturally everyone has it. However, the eldest wife said that Miss Eleven has grown a lot this year, so let us make more sets."

   Eleven Mother nodded absently, then lowered her head to continue embroidering the screen.

   Amber heard this, but was very disturbed, and pulled Binju: "While the young lady has Holly by her side, let's go to Miss Fifth-I used to be at the big lady, and I didn't get along with crape myrtle and Ziyuan much. I It’s in Miss Eleven’s house now, so it’s better to get close to the people in the young ladies’ house."

   Binju still supports her statement, and went to Wu Niang with Humber.
