Who Cares

Chapter 27: Concubine

Views:

Ye's family is narrow-minded, and they will retaliate. Even if Guan Suyi can't hinder them, as long as she exists, it will be a thorn in Ye Zhen's heart. , let alone relax our vigilance. Due to the presence of the old lady, Liu's hand could not reach the Zhenbeihou mansion, so after thinking about it, he had to stuff Ye Fan inside.

Ye Fan is the only direct daughter of the second room of the Ye family. The second house was born out of a concubine. In the early years, the family was separated, and he had no business acumen. The small property he only got was quickly exhausted, and his life was very difficult. At the age of ten, Ye Fan's father was killed by bandits on the way to business, and his mother could not survive, so he had to send her back to his home and remarried himself.

Because of her vulgar appearance, Ye Fan quickly won the favor of the Ye family's head, and brought her into the big house and raised her carefully, in order to find a wealthy family to marry in the future. Ye Fan has had enough hardships, and he is also devoted to drilling into the deep houses of the rich and powerful, and is not afraid of those shady methods.

She was only six years younger than Ye Zhen, but she separated from her parents when she was young, and went around for business. She didn't remember that her family had only one daughter, not a pair of twins. After being adopted by her family, she was offered food and food in brocade clothes and jade, and she slowly grew from a little girl with a yellow face and thin skin to a slim girl. When she was fourteen or fifteen years old, her appearance was seven or eight points similar to Ye Zhen. Close Yue was ashamed of the flowers, so her heart grew bigger, she was extremely dissatisfied with several marriages in Liu's favor, and secretly hooked up with a son of an aristocratic family in private.

When the two fell in love with each other, they decided to live privately for the rest of their lives. In order to be together in an open and honest way, they made trouble with Liu. Seeing that Ye Fan was so prosperous, Mrs. Liu actually caught up with the aristocratic family, so she had to hold her nose in response. Unexpectedly, just after the marriage was decided, the Jiuli tribe entered the Central Plains. As a result, the beacon fires continued for years and the bones were exposed, and many vassal states were destroyed.

When the Wei Kingdom was established, Ye Fan's fiancé-in-law survived by chance, but the family was already not as good as before. He couldn't even afford a full meal, and he could only count the glory of the past with the tablets of his ancestors. How could Ye Fan endure that hardship? Looking in the mirror, he felt that he could find a better one, so he asked Liu to call off the marriage.

The family used to look down on Ye Fan, who was a businessman, but fortunately, he was only the son of a singer, so it didn't matter. But today is different from the past. They all depended on Ye Fan's large dowry to live. Naturally, they opposed it fiercely, and the two families started to fight.

Ye Fan was delayed by the war, and was haunted by her fiancé-in-law. If Ye Zhen hadn't been awarded the title of Jieyu, and the sage intended to support the Ye family, she would have to be buried in the pit she dug for the rest of her life. She finally got rid of the bad marriage, she was twenty-four years old, and there was no way out, how could she not be in a hurry? Zhao Luli is young, handsome, and holds a high position. He is the dream husband of Wei Guo's daughter. Hearing that Liu's family is going to send her to Zhenbei Hou's mansion to be a concubine, she agreed without thinking.

Ye Fan used to be a good person. In order to please Liu, he was very fond of the two children left by his cousin, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he watched them grow up. Therefore, the two children are very close to her. After they are married, let's not talk about them. At least the little ancestors are on her side, which means that the Hou Ye is on her side, and life will definitely be better. As for the legendary Guan's daughter, who was said to be talented, well-educated, knowledgeable, and highly appreciated by His Majesty, she didn't pay any attention to her.

She knows that her biggest weapon is this face that looks like her cousin. Maybe she can only be a stand-in at first, but who can say it as time goes by

Liu Shi and Ye Fan hit it off, and the next day they hurriedly knocked on the door of Zhenbeihou Mansion. Zhao Luli saw that his mother-in-law had something private to say, so he asked Ye Fan to see the two children. As soon as the two entered the study, Liu opened his mouth to ask his son-in-law to take a concubine, which shocked Zhao Luli for a long time but couldn't recover.

"I just got married, I'm afraid it's not right."

"What's wrong? Are you afraid that the Guan family will trouble you? Well, you ungrateful bastard, where did you put my Ye family? If it wasn't for you, Zhen'er would have left the child to go to that shameful place. The place? How did you get your title, as well as your wealth and life, and how did the Zhao family get rich and noble, have you not forgotten? Zhen'er gave everything for you, but you turned around and helped the newcomer to abuse Her son and daughter, if I didn't send Ye Fan in and ordered her to take care of the two children to grow up safely, I would not be able to die, and Zhen'er would not be able to die! It's also my fault that I had no eyeballs, and I didn't know people clearly. It's good, but I didn't expect it to reveal its true form when I entered the door, kneading Xi'er and Wangshu as clay figurines. My poor Zhen'er, her life is really worthless!" Liu Shi sat on the ground, and said again Pointing to the sky and scolding the earth, she cried and cried, just like a country woman.

Mentioning "dead wife", Zhao Luli's heart ached suddenly, his eyes blushed while stroking his chest, but he couldn't say a word to refute. Liu poked his sore spot and lobbied again, and finally got a satisfactory answer.

At the same time, Ye Fan was greeting the old lady, and he was shocked when he saw the woman sitting under her hand. It is said that the rumors are unbelievable, but the rumors about Guan's are far less than her own. She is slowly playing with a bunch of daffodils at the moment, with a slight smile on her mouth and soft color in her eyes, no need for embellishment of brocade clothes and jewelry, her gorgeous face and graceful and elegant bearing are the best Decoration is also the most dazzling halo.

Ye Fan, who was instantly reduced to a foil, smiled reluctantly, and it was not until Zhao Chunxi and Zhao Wangshu came to see her happily after hearing the news that they finally regained some confidence. The three had a good time reminiscing about the old days, and they left the old lady and Guan Suyi aside and ignored them.

Guan Suyi finished carving a pot of flower balls, and let the maid put it on the low table by the window, cleaned her hands, and wiped off the water while slowly saying, "Xi'er, you came to the main courtyard a quarter late today to greet you, I I have already reminded your four maidservants and asked them to urge them from time to time. However, if they do not serve their master well, they will be deducted from this month's monthly silver. If they commit the crime again, they will also be deducted from the next month. Right."

This sentence broke the whole room Xinran, the three people's voices stopped abruptly, only the four big maids knelt down in unison, followed by a series of confessions and forgiveness. In today's Zhenbei Hou's Mansion, no one dared to challenge the authority of the mistress, even the old lady kept her mouth shut and stood on the sidelines.

"Although spring is approaching now, the weather is very cold. It doesn't matter if it's a moment or two late in the morning. Madam punishes Xi'er like this, I'm afraid it's too severe? I was fostered by my aunt since I was a child. In the middle of the winter and the twelfth lunar month, you are exempt from greetings..."

Ye Fan was interrupted by Guan Suyi before he could finish speaking, "So you can't get married when you reach twenty-four or five. When others look at their daughter-in-law, the most important thing is not her appearance, but her virtue. The elders are not filial, so how can you expect her to be filial to other elders? Serving the parents-in-law, the husband and the child is the duty that the mistress should fulfill, even if the other side is useless. If she is willing, she must also put on a filial appearance, otherwise someone from another family will send someone to inquire and learn that she is not even close to her own grandmother, let alone invite An to accompany her. How can she expect her to marry an elder who is a filial husband? Is it to marry a daughter-in-law or an ancestor?"

Seeing Ye Fan clenching her lips and holding back her anger, Guan Suyi chuckled and made up the knife, "For women, especially unmarried women, reputation is very important. Sister Ye must have a deep understanding of this."

The old lady softened her face and added another knife, "Suyi is willing to discipline her children, that is their blessing, and it is not an outsider's turn to intervene. Zhao Chunxi, if you don't like seeing me, don't come, you don't need to force it. ."

Seeing that the grandmother has clearly expressed her dissatisfaction with herself, if she said a few words outside, who would dare to come to ask for marriage? Zhao Chunxi once again realized that Guan Suyi's words were correct, and immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, saying that he would never dare again next time. It was at this stall that Zhao Luli and Mrs Liu walked in. One was ashamed because of his daughter's ignorance, while the other held a grudge because of Guan Suyi's suppression.

Xiaolangho, you will feel good when Ye Fan enters the door! Thinking like this, Mrs. Liu and the old lady chatted for a few words, then said goodbye, and before leaving, she cast a contemptuous and pitying look at Guan Suyi. Zhao Chunxi knew that his mother and grandmother had done what he asked for, and he couldn't help feeling very happy.

Zhao Luli felt very guilty for his new wife, but he couldn't stand Liu's soft and hard pressure, so he had to invite the old lady to the inner hall to speak, and tried to send others away. Guan Suyi pretended not to understand, and stayed outside to drink tea as usual. Zhao Chunxi also stayed while waiting to see her jokes, but Zhao Wangshu was ignorant and went to play on his own.

"There seems to be a commotion inside, mother, why don't you go in and take a look?" Zhao Chunxi pretended to be worried.

"Nothing, how can mother and son have an overnight feud." Guan Suyi smiled lightly.

After two quarters of an hour, Zhao Luli came out first, saw his newlywed wife still, his cheeks flushed suddenly, then turned pale, and gave her a deep bow. The old lady followed closely, scolding with a cane, "Unfilial son, get out of here!"

"I'm sorry." I don't know who this sentence was addressed to, the words fell, the person had already walked away, and the back looked rather embarrassed.

The old lady collapsed on the soft chair, and she said with tears, "Suyi, you are a good daughter-in-law, our Zhao family can't help you! I am old, and these children have hard wings. I really can't control it. I'm not here, please take care of the Hou Mansion, don't let it go away, collapse, lose..."

"Old madam, you've been worrying too much." Guan Suyi patted the back of her hand and said calmly, "Does Lord Hou want to take Ye Fan as a concubine?"

"You know?" The old lady raised her head suddenly, as if thinking of something, and sighed again, "You are extremely smart, how can you not see through the Ye family's little tricks. That's right, they want to send Ye Fan in, but I can't stop them." The words fell and glared at Zhao Chunxi.

As soon as Zhao Chunxi's eyes showed a hint of happiness, he heard Guan Suyi disapprovingly said, "Then let him accept it. On the day when Ye Fan entered the door, I sent my girl Mingfang there too, and made a double happiness, old lady. What does it look like? Mingfang has served me since she was a child, and she has an extraordinary relationship with me, so I removed her slave status and gave her a few acres of land and a small courtyard. In this way, she can be regarded as a good woman with a serious dowry. Like Ye Fan, she can be a concubine."

These words shocked the old lady and Zhao Chunxi. After a while, one turned anger into joy, while the other almost choked to death.

The Ye family had just shoved the prostitute in, but Guan Suyi promoted her maid at the back. The two were both concubines. Doesn't this mean a slap in the face of the Ye family? All face is gone! This is a loss, a lot of damage, and I don't know what Ye Fan's expression will be when that day comes.

The old lady swept away the previous depression and said, "Yes, both of them are acceptable, so that I can spread branches and leaves for my Houfu. Your maid is really good, I will give her a few more dowries."

Guan Suyi pursed her lips and smiled, making Mingfang, who was already out of her body, quickly kowtow to the old lady. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law completely forgot to ask Zhao Luli's opinion. Of course, even if he doesn't want to, Guan Suyi has thousands of ways to get him to nod.
